The financial criterion is one of the most important when it comes to football in Europe, even the most important factor that makes the difference between Champions League and Europa League, in addition to the football teams’ value. Surprisingly or not, Bayern Munich was not the team that won the most money in the League last season, which ended with the winning trophy for the Bavarians.
Although they played in the last act of the competition, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund were exceeded in terms of earnings by Juventus. The Italians have defeated their opponents, and among them are the grandes from Primera Division, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
Gazzetta dello Sport has announced that the Old Lady has increased accounts with 65.3 million euros, even if they were eliminated in the quarter finals by Bayern.
Juventus is followed in the earnings top by Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Beyond the amounts received from UEFA, the Italians say the difference was made by TV rights and market pool.
