Btw, I'm not sure, but I think that we won't lose too much money, compared to last season, from our CL elimination.
Qualifying for the 2nd round and then being eliminated probably means some additional 2-3 m eur compared to our situation now.
But if we do good in Europa League we'll get back those money.
Even if we don't, it won't hurt us too much financially.
For example, last year Juve got 22.1 m eur from the CL participation. 50% of those (11.8 m) were from the market pool and this year we again win those money. Actually we win even more from the market pool because we were second placed in serie A last year and we get a bigger percentage of the market pool.
We won 5.4 m for playing in CL groups, and we got the same money again. We won 900k for the 3 wins and 3 draws while this year we'll get a little less because we managed to get 2 wins and 2 draws.
The only thing we lose are the 2 200 000 we won't get for not playing in the 2nd round and the money we won't get for ticket sales.
But if we do good in Europa league, we'll win the money back and due to getting more money from the market pool compared to last year, we might end the season with even more money gained than we did last year.
Not playing in CL at all is a huge financial shock. But being eliminated one round earlier than usual (and lets not fool eachother. We were never gonna make it past the 2nd round) is not a big shock financially.
It was humiliating and painful, but financially we won't suffer.
