Guys, the Champions League brings in money, it makes sense to focus on that
Real Madrid built an entire strategy around this, in fact they won so many Champions Leagues, what they did makes sense, they were just unlucky because they could have left the scene as a hero.
You think teams actually depend on that money? I mean if you combine, that becomes 100 million euro to win the whole thing and yes that is great, who wouldn2t want that, but you think they "depend" on it? Real Madrid pays 300 million just on salaries of the players.
Do not get me started on the transfer fees, staff, the offices, all the workers of the club, from simple janitor to some CEO type position, they employ thousands and thousands of people, which makes millions of Euro every month. The cost, the maintenance, basically when you think about it, they spend 500+ million a year, every single year, easily. So yeah, winning that 100 million is great, who wouldn't want that, but they have to pay this money even if they lose, so they do not rely on that at all, they already spend multiple times more than that.
