BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP)—The winner of the Champions League could reap up to $160 million in revenues despite the world economic downturn, according to a study released Thursday.

Any slip-up in a penalty shootout could cost the losing club up to $56 million—the likely revenue difference between victor and vanquished in the final next May 27 in Rome, according to Professor Simon Chadwick of Coventry University Business School in England.

“Losing will mean lower prize money,” Chadwick said. “Clearly it will affect their ability to negotiate with sponsors and in terms of squad value that will be marginally less.”

The 16 teams going into Friday’s draw in Nyon, Switzerland, have on average already secured $56.2 million through prize money, tournament commercial revenues, ticket sales, sponsorship, merchandising and increased squad value.

“The competition continues to be an important source of revenue and commercial activity for clubs, especially for those that qualify for the knockout phase,” said Chadwick, who produced the study for Champions League sponsor MasterCard.

Considering Real Madrid is the biggest club based on revenue with $513 million, the importance of winning the sport’s richest club competition, cannot be underestimated, especially in times of crisis.

“The big teams in the Champions League are going to be more recession-resistant than others,” Chadwick said in a telephone interview.

He said the top teams’ global fan base and the overall appeal of the competition would help them win sponsorship deals and bigger slices of television rights.

The numbers I posted are prize money that UEFA awards. And they were from two season ago. When I posted those number you also pointed out TV revenues, sponsors, gate revenues and others. Yes, I can imagine how much the winner gets.

One time snoop posted a picture showing how much Milan won in Euros when they took their last CL. He was emphasising on how good they contributed to italian football.

awesome

i just hope that we don't use that money to market ugly jerseys next season!

lets use that cash to sign some great players

Joe Cole is out for the season. How important is he for Chelsea?
he's a factor when he's on the field, and since he's out its definitely one less worry for us
