Real Madrid earned more than juve, but that aside it is the "Market pool" which gives this outcome. Anyone know how that is calculated?

This year's market pool distribution;

Market pool (€482.9m)

• The amount of €482.9m will be distributed according to the proportional value of each TV market represented by the clubs taking part in the UEFA Champions League (group stage onwards) and be split among the clubs participating from a given association.

• In accordance with the existing system, half of the amount representing the value of each market will be split among the clubs based on their performance in the previous domestic league championship and the other half will be paid in proportion to the number of matches played by each team in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League.

• Each time that a club of an association represented by one or more clubs in the UEFA Champions League group stage is eliminated in the play-offs, 10% of the respective association’s market pool share will be allocated to the eliminated club. This is a new arrangement, which was not contemplated in the distribution system beforehand.

More here:

UEFA has announced €482.9 million in market pool money for each of the next three champions league seasons. Which will be distributed according proportional value of each TV market (Country/League). So the market pool awarded to each country’s league will be distributed among the teams from that league according to their performance in previous league season and how many matches they will play in the given champions league season.

English clubs will benefit the most with the new Market Pool distribution system and If an english club were to win the champions league in 2015-16 season they will earn around €100 million (around €50m from performance based + around €50m with market pool).

• If FC Basel were to win the Champions League they won’t make as much as Real Madrid or Barcelona did in the last couple of years. Why ? because of the market value of the team. Teams coming from top 4 European Leagues get the bigger chunk of the market pool.
• Every League (not teams) gets specific market pool money according to the UEFA Ranking of European Leagues, and for example last season from Spain Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad played in group stages so the total market pool for spain was shared between four teams. Where Barcelona got €24.6 million, Real Madrid €20 million, Atletico got €17 million and Real Sociedad got €8.5 million in market pool money.
• Juventus on the other hand got massive €58.20 million from market pool money because only them and AS Roma from Italy played in the group stages and Roma knocked out in group stages leaving Juventus with huge portion.
• So the Market Pool given out to other low ranked leagues like Ukraine, Russia etc is much lower so the clubs from those countries get less money even if they over achieve and qualify for the later stages of the champions League.

I think all this means that it is in our interest for other English clubs to do badly?!?!

Stupid fecking competition!

Of course it's not.

Brexit hasn't even been started yet.

Nope, everything is Brexit's fault if you read the papers.

Blimey it's easy to wind you lot up.

Aurier, an Ivory Coast international, is appealing against his initial conviction, leading PSG to believe he is entitled to be presumed innocent.

How the ****ing **** can PSG believe that? Stupid has become a pandemic.

So Leicester against Benfica with the second leg at home.

 

[homer]

Bayern Munich
Real Madrid or Dortmund
PSG
Bayer Leverkusen
Sevilla (possibly Juve or Lyon)
Benfica

 

[Blaarev]

Easy.

 

[FIF]

The best news is that the second leg will be in Leicester.

 

[FIF]

And most of those will dominate possession and allow counter attacks. If you saw PSG last night you'd feel a little better.

 

[Brown Nose]

The best news is that the second leg will be in Leicester.

The reality is that the tie could well be over by then.
