The PSG season is already successful from a sporting point of view with the Tripped Ligue 1-Coupe-de France-Trophée des Champions. It can become memorable in the event of victory in the Champions League this evening (9 p.m.) against Inter Milan. On the economic level, success is also there, thanks to the new format of the C1 decided by UEFA. Even before starting this new edition, PSG was already sure to receive a check for € 63.35 million.

It was the club that received the most among the major teams in Europe. This amount corresponds to his participation bonus (€ 18.62 million), in the classification of the last 5 years and to income -related income (€ 33.66 million), in addition to € 11.07 million for its past results. It is obviously far from finished because for its qualification in extremis for the dams (or 16th finals) against Brest, it is € 80.91 million which fell suddenly on the bank account of the club.

Over 200 M € just with the C1

The Breton obstacle passed, each additional round crossed has reported additional currencies: € 11 million for the round of 16, € 12.5 million after the quarters, then € 15 million for the last square. In case of victory this evening, it's € 6 million more and The team Even add a € 25 million bonus. We are now a total of € 144.5 million. And then there will be a possible participation in the European Super Cup against Tottenham next August by 4 M € more.

We would almost forget the revenues related to the ticket office on match days. Just Arsenal's reception reported € 12 million. All the matches at the Parc des Princes have enabled PSG to collect € 60 million, a record for the club. You have calculated, we exceed the sum of € 200 million in income, just with the Champions League. Enough to offer a bonus of around € 1 million per player in case of success this evening. The smiles are stakes, especially since the participation in the World Cup of Clubs should make it possible to bring between 100 and 150 million €. Faced with such figures, it is easy to understand why Ligue 1 TV rights appear derisory next to it. PSG should touch “only” € 22 million.
