Revealed – How Much Cash A Champions League Quarter-Final Qualification Worth For Inter Milan | OneFootball

Inter Milan headed to Rotterdam to take on Feyenoord in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, progressing into the quarter-finals would significantly bolster the club’s bank accounts.

Guided by Simone Inzaghi, Inter enjoyed a phenomenal league-phase campaign, locking down an impressive fourth place.

As a result, the Nerazzurri earned an eye-watering €87.9 million for their league-stage exploits.

To break it down, Inter got €18.6 for fixed participation fees, €13.3m for on-field results, and €8m for ranking bonuses.

Furthermore, market pool shares secured the club over €25.3m, while they got €23 million from their high placement in the new format.

What Champions League Quarter-Final Qualification Would Bring to Inter Milan

Moving past Feyenoord would see Inter Milan pocket an additional €12.5m.

Lifting the title is still a long shot. Yet, achieving that feat would pour roughly €140m into the club’s coffers.

That would be an unprecedented figure for a single-cup competition in football.

However, that’s one of the benefits of this new system.

Therefore, the stakes are high ahead of tonight’s clash at De Kuip.
