Inter have already earned almost €200m from this season’s Champions League, more than any other Serie A club ever, and will get €10.5m more if they win the trophy.
Inter will set a record revenue for 2024-25 after reaching the Champions League Final.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, the Serie A giants have already received €133m in Champions League prize money and circa €60m from ticket sales for European matches in 2024-25.
The nearly €200m earned from Europe’s elite competition this season is the highest sum ever gained by a Serie A club and it’s practically twice as much as the Nerazzurri earned two years ago, when they reached the Champions League Final (€101m).
Considering Inter’s record €473m income for the 2023-24 campaign, this season’s Champions League has produced over 40% more than the total earnings from the previous campaign. According to Gazzetta, this will allow the club to end the season with a profit.
Furthermore, the Nerazzurri can add an extra €10.5m if they win the Champions League: €6.5m for lifting the trophy, plus €4m for participating in the European Supercup next summer.
Inter reach Champions League Final – what Marotta said
“An epic match, between two great teams, credit goes to the coach, the players, and our magnificent fans,” the Inter President said after a 4-3 win over Barcelona, via Sempreinter.
“We’re honoured to be playing in the final because we earned it.
“Inzaghi is at the heart of this model, supported by a club and ownership that’s always present, albeit silently.
“It’s a victory for everyone, but the main architect is undoubtedly the coach.
“This group has been together with the coach for four years. We are among Europe’s elite, and deservedly so, with determination.
“The greatest match of my career? For emotions and adrenaline, absolutely yes. A showcase for football around the world.”
