Champions League, Atalanta should “knock out” Roma
For Atalantadelete the Rome from the Champions League he is worth between 5 and 6 million euros. Following the victory of Gian Piero Gasperini in Europa League against the Germans Bayern Leverkusen, Atalanta’s direct qualification for the Champions League has put an extra place at stake for Italy, provided the Dea maintain a top-five finish in Serie A.
In detail, if Atalanta finishes third or fourth, it will not free up an extra place, and the top five teams in Serie A will be qualified for the Champions League, thanks to the additional slot gained by Italy through the seasonal UEFA ranking. However, if Atalanta remains in fifth place, it will automatically guarantee Roma sixth position as they are entitled to qualify for the tournament after the victory. of the Europa League.
Obviously, in addition to the football aspect, the money involved also plays its part. In fact, Atalanta still has the possibility of reaching third or fourth place in the table, which would bring significant financial advantages. THE television revenues of Serie A they are assigned based on the final position in the ranking, with an approximate increase of approximately 2 million euros for each advanced position.
As reported Republic, going into detail, speaking of money, a percentage of Serie A television revenues (the total is 1 billion and 18 million euros) is assigned based on the placement of the last season. Last year this percentage was 15% (152 million to be assigned): 12% based on the final ranking and 3% based on the points won. With that breakdown, fifth-placed Atalanta earned 11.6 million. The Milanfourth, 13.4 million. Interthird, 15.6 million.
This year the three-year cycle of TV rights ends and the total amount is identical. But the distribution changes slightly, due to the Abodi decree which modified the reads Melandri and allocated a percentage of the proceeds to the valorisation of young people: in reality the change was decided five years ago but an implementation decree was still missing, which arrived three months ago. Now that it has been signed, 1.1% of that billion (around 11 million) will be allocated based on the employment of young people (under 18 to under 21).
Now the championship result is worth slightly less: 14%. 11.2% based on ranking, 2.8% based on points won. Between finishing fifth and finishing fourth the estimated difference is around 1.8-1.9 million. Between finishing fifth or third is around 3.8 million. Each additional point in the ranking, therefore, is worth approximately 28 thousand euros. In addition to the fact that the result of this championship will then weigh on the historical ranking in the future distribution of rights.
The possible Roma’s qualification it would also have an impact on the distribution of prizes of the Champions Leaguewith the possibility that Atalanta sees a reduction in his earnings if Roma qualify. However, even if Roma were in the first tier, while Atalanta is in the second, the team’s prospects of Gasperini they would not change drastically since, starting next year, each team will face two opponents from each of the four tiers.
Everything, therefore, focuses on the results in the last two days of the championship: Atalanta-Turin on Sunday 26 May and Atalanta-Fiorentina in the second half of the season on 2 June.
