The big clubs will lose 2.000 millions in income this season

It is not secret that the irruption of the coronavirus has punished to the clubs of football around the world of a way with which any sportive defeat never will be able to equalise. The suspensions of the distinct European leagues during the past season like consequence of the restrictions imposed to brake the expansion of the virus, no only altered the programming of the competitions ―some like the French even gave by concluded―, but they also struck duramente the pockets of the clubs.

The most worrisome of this subject is that, as it signals the last edition of the report Deloitte Football Money League, will continue occurring in the present exercise, with some numbers even more angustiantes: the losses that project for the end of the season 2020-21, and that engloban to the 20 clubs that showed a greater capacity to generate income even in the past course, will reach the 2.000 million euros.

The cancellation of the taquillas in the enclosures of football because of the impossibility to give him access to the followers to the same, aunado to the repayments to the emisoras and sponsors, as well as the "the loss of potential to keep a stable growth" hide behind this figure, according to the authors of the study.

To little to fulfil a year of the expansion of the covid-19 in Europe and that detained in dry all the leagues, his repercussion in the economy of the clubs of football is far to remain in the past. And it is that the disaster in the volume of income during the past campaign was of 1.083 million euros, only the half of which estimates a course afterwards.

To this first impact adds him also the fall of the income of the days that were cancelled, postponed or finished celebrating to enclosed door ―in all they the taquilla saw cancelled―, that estimates in 257 million euros (17%).

In the first place, as already sucedió in 2018-19 ―this exercise the income of the 20 were of 9.283 millions―, repeats the FC Barcelona with 715,1 millions, and that goes back to aventajar to the Real Madrid, second with 714,9. The difference is minimum and has recortado considerably, as the Barcelona club lost 125,7 millions in comparison with the balance of the previous course (840,8); whereas the alone white group yielded 42,4 millions (714,9).

The three clubs that could recolectar a greater economic quantity during the past season are the Bayern Munich (634,1), that advances to the Manchester United (580,4), due to the fact that the Bavarian club was the one who suffered the lower fall regarding the previous year (of 660,1 to 634,1).
