Lens will hit the jackpot!

The good European run of RC Lens, third in its group in the Champions League, will bring (very) big returns to the northern club.

It was therefore with a victory snatched in added time against Sevilla FC (2-1) and a good third place, in a tough group B, that Lens concluded this group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday evening. A ranking synonymous with qualification for the Europa League play-offs. Enough to satisfy Franck Haise, while the Sang et Or appeared in hat 4 during the draw and had not been spared with, in addition to the Andalusians, Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven.

“Few people thought we would have 8 points at the end of this group stagereacted the northern coach, quoted by AFP, after the success obtained against the Spaniards. This assessment gives us room to continue to grow. We go out with our heads held high. The results, of course, are not perfect, but I am proud of it. I am proud to have 8 points. We took them, and we will continue to move forward. » The results are all the more positive as this good run will bring big returns to the French vice-champions.

More than €50 million for RC Lens!

The site Sportune calculated all the bonuses won by the RCL during this C1 campaign, and the total is very interesting. It is effectively a check for 52.374 million euros that the Lensois will receive: 15.64 M€ for participation, 7.46 M€ for the results, 2.274 M€ for the coefficient classification and 27 M€ for the TV rights. Enough to give a little more financial stability to a club whose budget is estimated at 118 million euros in this 2023-2024 season.
