The disappointment was necessarily there this Sunday for the players of Paris Saint-Germain. After a good journey, Luis Enrique's men fell in love with a defeat in the final of the Club World Cup against Chelsea (3-0). Beyond the result, this place of finalist still offers a hell of a financial bonus at PSG.
According to the calculations carried out by The Athleticseveral tens of millions of euros will inflate the bank account of the club property of Qatar. Almost eighty-two million euros will be paid to Paris Saint-Germain. Before the competition, it had been announced that all the thirty-two committed teams would share a 1 billion dollars jackpot divided into two parts (participation and performance).
The media has carried out the division and for PSG, there should be practically twenty-seven million euros for participation and more than sixty million for performance. What dry a few tears in the Parisian management. On such amounts, the difference in gain between Paris and Chelsea is ultimately not so large since the blues will garner practically nine million euros more.
Real Madrid far from PSG
The third best-loti club at account time is Real Madrid which should recover around sixty and one million euros. It is obviously much less than PSG, but it is much more than the fourth, in this case Fluminense, which should earn fifty million euros roughly. At the bottom of the ranking, the New Zealand club of Auckland City will receive some four million euros.
For all clubs, and for Paris Saint-Germain in particular, we will now have to use this financial windfall more than welcome in some cases. The next edition of the World Cup club should take place in four years.
