1 final will determine success or failure! Manchester United s Battle of Destiny: The Europa League championship is worth 100 million, and it can t afford to lose

Europa League semi-finals, Manchester United eliminated Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham eliminated Bode, and the two Premier League champions met in the final. At 3 a.m. on May 22, the Europa League final began.

For Manchester United and Tottenham, this final is a battle of destiny: the success or failure of the two teams will be determined, and the final will be decided. In addition to the championship trophy, there is also huge economic value. Let’s take Manchester United as an example to analyze the “gold content” of this final.

【Champions League bonus: £65 million guaranteed]

Last season, Manchester United was eliminated at the bottom of the group stage, and the Champions League bonus of that season was £52 million, which is the worst case. The new competition system of the Champions League has begun this season, with higher bonuses. Each team participated in the competition at least 8 games. Manchester United ranks around 12th in the European Cup points, and the ranking coefficient bonus alone is 24 million pounds; plus the participation fee is 16 million pounds, which is the guaranteed 40 million pounds. In addition, there are ranking awards and winning prizes (1.8 million wins in one game in the league stage). Taking Manchester City as an example, he missed the semi-finals of 16 this season and also received a prize of 65 million pounds. Manchester United plays in the Champions League, and this is the number guaranteed.

[Match Day Income: Guaranteed £24 million]

After the Champions League reform, each team will have at least 4 home games. According to Manchester United's financial report for the first half of the 2024-25 season, the average daily income of Old Trafford Stadium is 5.2 million pounds per game. Manchester United ticket prices will rise by 5% next season, and Champions League tickets will be higher, which will lead to richer ticket revenue.

At each Champions League home game, Manchester United can earn at least 6 million pounds of ticket revenue. Based on 4 games, the minimum guaranteed 24 million pounds. At most, there will be 8 home games (playoffs, 8th finals, quarter-finals, and semi-finals). Each additional home game means a box office of 6 million and a promotion bonus.

【Sponsorship fee: 10 million pounds】

The sponsorship contract between Manchester United and Adidas stipulates that starting from 2025, if Manchester United misses the Champions League this season, Adidas will deduct 10 million pounds of sponsorship fees.

This is just a clear rule of Adidas. Qualcomm has a chest advertising sponsorship of 60 million pounds per year, DXC has a cuff advertising sponsorship of 20 million pounds per year, and Tezos has a training suit sponsorship of 20 million pounds per year. If there are "Champions League clauses", it will also have an impact on Manchester United's revenue. However, it is not clear whether these sponsors include similar terms from Adidas.

【Fengshen OR was dismissed, Tottenham can't afford to lose]

In the Europa League final, Manchester United can't afford to lose, and Tottenham can't afford to lose. Postkoglu stated: "I will always win some honors in my second year of coaching." The Europa League is Tottenham's last hope: either the championship trophy and the UEFA Champions League qualification worth 100 million, or the bleak ending of the Premier League ranking 16th and continuing the bleak ending of the four majors. For Aobo, the OR of the Gods was dismissed and he was in a battle here.
