A few hours before the start of the Champions League quarterfinal series, Manchester City, the current monarch, is the club that has achieved the highest income in this edition of the competition thanks to its sporting merits: it has collected 89,024 so far millions of euros. He is followed in that ranking by Real Madrid (86.750 million), his rival in the phase that will start this Tuesday.
City and Madrid are the only two clubs that during the group stage achieved six victories in the six games they played and, therefore, obtained 16.8 million euros (2.8 million per win). This transformed them into the most economically productive teams in that area, according to a report prepared by the Spanish state agency EFE.
However, the English club surpasses the Spanish club in terms of the amounts received as a coefficient. City is the leader of that ranking (it has 146 points), so it deserves 36,384 million euros. Madrid is third by coefficient (it has 127 points and is also surpassed by Bayern Munich), which makes it worth 34.11 million. From this arises the difference of 2,274 million between both institutions so far.
The amount to be received by coefficient is obtained by multiplying 1,137 million euros by the position – from lowest to highest – that each of the 32 teams that gave the present in the group stage occupies in that ranking. For example, in the case of City, because they are first, 1.137 is multiplied by 32.
In the rest of the sections, pending the distribution of the television market (depending on the quota of each country), everything is identical between City and Madrid: the 15.64 million to be paid for having played in the group stage; the 16.8 million for the six wins in that round; the 9.6 million for qualifying for the round of 16; and 10.6 million for a place in the quarterfinals.
