The biggest dark horse in the Champions League is making crazy money, and the second-tier squad has played a giant result, and the fans laughed
According to the latest news brought by the German media Sky Sports, Dortmund's total revenue this season will usher in a huge increase due to their outstanding performance in this season's Champions League. In particular, the team's income in the Champions League has set a record in team history. So far, they have confirmed that they will get more than 100 million euros from the Champions League, which is a staggering figure.
Objectively speaking, before the start of the season, I believe that many fans did not expect Dort to be able to play such a good performance this season. Losing the league title at home in the final round of last season has taken a heavy toll on the morale of the entire team, and there has been a huge gap in the mentality of many players. Coupled with the fact that Bellingham, the team's central midfielder, was poached by Real Madrid at a high price, many fans said that next season may be a regression for Dort. Especially after the team was divided into the group of death in the Champions League, many fans reluctantly said that they might be out of the group stage.
However, Borussia Dortmund showed great resilience and played well against AC Milan and Paris. and successfully advanced to the knockout stage as the top team in the group of death, and then went all the way to the last four of this season's Champions League. Considering that their opponents in the semi-finals are Paris, who have played each other in the group stage, it will not be surprising who will advance to the final, given that both sides are well aware of each other's strengths. Borussia Dortmund even have hopes of meeting Bayern Munich in the final. Of course, this requires both teams to deal with the opponent in front of them first.
With the performance of eliminating Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals, Dortmund not only regained the long-lost semi-final results, but also received an additional 12.5 million euros in prize money. Combined with the previous base bonus and revenue share, the Hornets will earn more than 108 million in the Champions League this season. This is undoubtedly good news for the Bumblebee, which has been in a mediocre financial situation in recent years. Such a huge income can not only maintain the normal operation of the team, but more importantly, it can help them in the next transfer window, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Many fans have no specific concept of being able to share more than 100 million euros in the Champions League, in fact, the prize money share of the Champions League is linked to the results. The further a team progresses in the knockout rounds, the more ancillary bonuses they receive, and it is also linked to European points in their league. In other words, only the truly top clubs have a chance to win more than €100 million in the Champions League. In the past few seasons, only a handful of teams, such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona, have done just that.
It is indeed not easy for Dortmund to be able to be a non-giant team and get an income at this level. They are the biggest dark horses in this season's Champions League. For a team worth just €464 million, they have done everything they can and will be remembered by the home fans for the rest of the day. The last time Dortmund entered the Champions League semi-finals was back in the 12~13 season, and now 11 years have passed. Last time they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals to reach the final, they lost to Bayern Munich. How can they not be thrilled that the team is once again looking to step on the turf for the Champions League final after many years?
It is worth mentioning that Dortmund's average attendance per game this season is still full, and the support of the fans is the driving force for this team to move forward. According to Sky Sports, Dortmund's total income in the Champions League is even more frightening if you include tickets in the Champions League. Of course, Dortmund also have to pay attention, because although they have done well in the Champions League this season, there seem to be some problems in the league, and they are currently only fifth in the league. If the team wants to secure its qualification for next season, then they will have to work hard. What do you think of Borussia Dortmund's first €100 million share in the Champions League?
