The last 16 of the Champions League will have two Portuguese teams. In addition to the natural prestige, Sporting and Benfica also guaranteed important millions of euros for their coffers.
For the victory against Dynamo Kiev, Benfica added €2.8 million and €9.6 M for the round of 16: €12.4 M in a single day, for a total of €54.3 M since the beginning of the race this season.
Sporting, on the other hand, managed to accumulate along the way to the round of 16 a total of almost €45 M, more precisely €44.94 million.
The difference in values between the two rivals in Lisbon is due to the fact that Benfica are in a superior position in the UEFA coefficient at the beginning of the season, having guaranteed higher amounts when entering the group stage.
