Loïs Openda looks Real Madrid in the eye against Leipzig on Tuesday evening. Our compatriot hopes to shine in front of the whole world and take an option for the next round at home. Next season he can look forward to more millions with his club.
UEFA increases the prize money
For example, UEFA is increasing the prize money in the Champions League by more than half a billion. That writes, among other things The newspapaer. UEFA announced the news itself during a conference.
In concrete terms, UEFA is increasing the prize money from 2 billion to 2.46 billion. This has to do with the new format that we will see from next season. The number of participants will be increased to 36 and new rounds will also be added.
Financial growth lags behind the growth in the number of competitions
The financial growth of the champions ball will not grow as much as the number of matches, with increases of 21% and 45% respectively.
The Europa League and the Conference League can also count on more money. UEFA is now allocating an extra 100 million for that first competition, while the Conference League can count on an extra 50 million.
