Madrid, the great beneficiary of the fall of Spanish football in the Champions League

The Real Madrid has remained like only representative of LaLiga in the Champions League after the premature eliminations of Seville, Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid in the phase of groups of the tournament. This circumstance the arks of the white club will see benefited by the 'market pool', the game of prizes by country that awards the UEFA to all the clubs of the Champions in concept of television rights and in function of the performance in the competition.

When remaining like only Spanish team for the second phase, the Madrid has guaranteeed 4,6 million euros. In the hypothetical case that the whites reach the final, to the Madrid would fall him other three million the corresponding to the conjoint stock exchange of the entities of LaLiga, although to fall in a previous phase will receive an inferior quantity to that.

The 'market pool' is a game of the prizes that the UEFA pays to the teams of the Champions in which it assigns a stock exchange to deliver between the teams that represent to a country. A half of this stock exchange delivers according to the classification in the national league the previous season; the another half, in function of the parties played in the present edition of the Champions. It is this half the one who can grow in the accounts of the Madrid by the expense of the extraneous evils.

The common stock exchange that deliver the Spanish teams is, in a very careful estimate (the figure depends on a few variables), of 56 million euros at least. By the classification in the League, the Madrid champion carries 40% of the first-half of the 'market pool' (some 11,2 M€); the Barça, 30% for being second (8,4 M€); the Athletic, 20% for being third (5,6 M€); and the Seville, 10% for being fourth (2,8 M€).

Several possibilities

Of the another half, each team has guaranteeed 3,9 million euros. It is what carries a club in the case to remain deleted in the phase of groups and that the others three arrive as far as possible (two finalists and the another fall in semifinals). By what Barcelona, Athletic and Seville have ensured each one one million and half extra by the elimination of the others two. The Madrid, by his part, already has guaranteeed 8,6 million euros and in his hands is to who go to stop other 3,1 million euros that remain slopes. If the ones of Ancelotti arrive to the final, will be his; if they fall before, it will have to deliver with the other.
