Sporting boost coffers with PSG win: Champions League scenarios | OneFootball

Sporting defeated PSG, 2-1, on Tuesday night at the Estádio José Alvalade. In a match valid for the seventh round of the Champions League, the club led by Frederico Varandas continues to ‘fill its pockets’ with its participation in the millionaire competition.

The truth is that, in addition to earning three more points in the tournament—essential for the standings at this stage—the Lions secured another 2.1 million euros, the amount awarded for each win in the Champions League group stage. Adding this to the victories against Kairat (4-1), Marseille (2-1), and Club Brugge (3-0), as well as the draw with Juventus (1-1), 9.1 million euros have already entered Alvalade’s accounts.

Meanwhile, at this stage of the competition, draws yield 700 thousand euros, while victories are worth, as previously mentioned, 2.1 million euros. Furthermore, even the final positions are rewarded, with bonuses ranging from 275 thousand euros to 2 million euros, depending on the ranking.

However, it is only in the next phase that the amounts start to increase: reaching the round of 16 brings in 11 million euros for qualification, plus 12.5 million in the quarter-finals, 15 million in the semi-finals, and another 18.5 million for participating in the competition’s final.

With this victory—the 22nd in 31 matches this season—the team managed by Rui Borges now has 13 points in the competition and sits in 10th place in the standings. The next game in the international competition is scheduled for Wednesday, January 28th, at 8:00 p.m., against Athletic Bilbao, at the San Mamés Stadium.

The green and white club will be back on the pitch next Saturday, December 24th, against Arouca, in a match for the 19th round of Liga Portugal Betclic. The encounter with the team led by Vasco Seabra will take place at 6:00 p.m., at the opponent’s ground.
