Marseille win doubles Champions League cash, see Sporting’s earnings | OneFootball

Sporting defeated Marseille, 2-1, last Wednesday night at the José Alvalade Stadium. In a match valid for the third round of the Champions League, the team led by Frederico Varandas continues to 'fill their pockets' with their participation in the lucrative competition.

The truth is that, simply with this triumph, the lions secured an additional 2.1 million euros - the amount for each victory in the league phase of the Champions League. Adding this amount to the victory against Kairat (4-1), 4.2 million euros have already been added to Alvalade's accounts.

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

However, only in the next phase do the amounts start to increase: advancing to the round of 16 earns 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 ninth in 13 matches this season –, the team led by Rui Borges rises to the 12th position in the league phase of the Champions League. Sporting has accumulated six points in three matches played so far in the lucrative competition.
