Celtic have generated an extraordinary amount of currency from the Champions League, which has resulted in a substantial injection into their coffers.
Brendan Rodgers and his team have much to celebrate and be optimistic about, particularly in terms of the financial aspect, despite the conclusion of Celtic’s Champions League voyage.
Following an agonising aggregate loss to Bayern Munich, the Hoops were denied their entry into the knockout rounds. Therefore, they were eliminated from the tournament. Celtic had qualified for the play-offs as a result of the new league format, and they secured their spot in the round of 16 by competing in a two-legged match against the German powerhouses.
Following their slender 2-1 loss in Glasgow, Celtic travelled to Munich to compete for a spot in the Champions League’s last 16. Celtic appeared poised to extend the game into extra time following their impressive performance; however, their ambitions were dashed by a late goal from Alphonso Davies.
Celtic were defeated 3-2 on aggregate, leaving their emotions shattered. Now that the dust has subsided, Celtic is contemplating the valuable experience they have gained and is already planning to improve and expand in the upcoming season. The funds that the Hoops accumulate during their European expedition this campaign will also be advantageous to them.
Celtic will have received a substantial sum in prize money as a result of the new Champions League format, which is more lucrative than ever. The Scottish champions have received a total of €46.16 million as a result of their efforts. Let us examine the breakdown of this sum.
League phase participation: €18.62 million (£15.4m) Win bonuses: Celtic received €6.3 million (£5.2m) for their victories over Slovan Bratislava, RB Leipzig, and Young Boys, as each club earned €2.1 million (£1.7m) per win in the league stage.
