Just by participating in the Champions League, Club Brugge is sure of 24 million euros. The starting premium of the group stage is 15.64 million euros, a little higher than the 15.25 million of last year.
There is also a sum that each club receives based on its European coefficient. As the 26th of 32 participants, Club is entitled to just under eight million euros. Finally, Club also collects the Belgian money from the market pool – the money that UEFA receives in TV rights and advertising revenue, probably around a million euros.
For each point in the group stage, €930,000 is added, a win yields €2.8 million. These amounts are also slightly higher than last year (900,000 euros and 2.7 million euros). A team that wins all its matches up to and including the final, potentially earns 85.14 million euros (last year 82.45 million euros).
Club Brugge kicks off the group stage of the Champions League at 9 p.m. in their own Jan Breydel Stadium with a squatter against Paris Saint-Germain. For the Parisians, who have won everything in the French league so far, superstar Lionel Messi seems to start for the first time since his transfer from FC Barcelona. Moreover, he would immediately do that alongside those other super attackers, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
