Sporting success also pays off in football – especially in the European Cup. Even if it is only the smaller Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen can earn a lot of money with a win in the final.
The series of successes in the Europa League could bring the German football champions Bayer Leverkusen more than 40 million euros. Before the final against Atalanta Bergamo in Dublin (9 p.m./RTL), the Werkself have already secured 22.6 million euros in UEFA bonuses.
Up to 8.5 million more are possible in the event of a final victory in the form of a victory bonus (4) as well as a starting bonus (3.5) and victory bonus (1) for the UEFA Super Cup match.
There are also shares from the market pool – for Eintracht Frankfurt that was around 4.5 million when they won the Europa League two years ago – and the income from the six home games is estimated at six million euros. Before the start of the competition, Bayer had calculated around 15 million euros in revenue in its budget.
