How Important Will Champions League Qualification Be To Aston Villa's Finances?
While the Champion’s League always has different stories, none of them fail to amaze its fans. To the surprise of many, Aston Villa has become the revelation of the season, and although some think it is just luck, the facts prove otherwise.
Premier League
It is common that in all leagues around the world, some teams are always leading the tables, so much so that both fans and experts can predict certain results of the matches.
Teams like Manchester United or Manchester City were constantly in the top positions, but during this season the dynamics changed a little so that Aston Villa has been placed among the best in the English League.
This has left many surprised and above all has brought back to the fans the joy of seeing their team beating the big boys of the Premier League.
However, it is not just luck but the hard work of the technical team who have used their experience and knowledge to obtain optimum results.
Change At Aston Villa
Unai Emery is the secret behind the victories of the English team, and the Spanish coach is a genius in the area, achieving, thanks to his experience and astuteness, to get the best out of each of the teams he leads.
There is nothing he considers more important than hard work and the fruits are increasingly evident.
It is worth noting that the team was never expected to go so far as to measure itself against the perennial champions, those who, with plenty of sponsorship and budget, can get all the soccer stars they want to ensure the success of their teams.
But against all odds, the coach has figured out the path to success and brought to the top a team that for a long time had not tasted results as convincing as the current ones and then more than 13 years had to pass for Aston Villa to taste again the adrenaline of being in a European competition. Not only that, the team has also positioned itself among the top soccer betting odds in South Africa.
The coach’s goal is to be crowned as the Premier League champions and also to have a brilliant performance when facing the other teams of the rest of the leagues in the UEFA Champions League.
From 17 to 3
When Emery first arrived at the team, it was at the bottom of the standings, specifically in 17th place, and neither players nor fans could have imagined what would happen next.
With determination the coach was conquering victories and unleashing the potential of the team, in this way he managed to position us in the number 3 position, leaving out of the qualification-relevant teams such as Liverpool, who seemed to have a fixed position in the qualifications.
Champions League And Its Economic Benefits For Aston Villa
As it is known, the clubs in the top positions of their league have a pass to a major competition, the Champions League and for a long time the name of this team has not been associated with it.
Thanks to the accumulated triumphs Emery’s team has earned a place in the Champions League and with this not only the opportunity to become the overall winner of this prestigious cup, but also brings great benefits at an economic level for this and all participating clubs.
It is known that this league provides certain payments to all its participants and for this club, whose budget is only a quarter of the renowned clubs in its league, it already represents a profit.
How Much Money Would Aston Villa Be Making In The Champions League?
Before mentioning certain figures it is necessary to say that this competition generates a lot of publicity, which can bring in certain sponsors allowing them to generate money even without playing.
On the other hand, this League pays the clubs for participating and the amounts are paid in fragments starting with payment to the 16 clubs just for having qualified, usually, this figure is around 3 million Euros, but it does not end here.
Once half of these teams advance in the table, the league again makes a financial benefit to them of a similar amount to the above, around 3.3 million.
Qualifying for the semi-final would bring an economic contribution of more or less 4 million, while in the final the winner takes home 9 million euros and the loser 5.2 million euros.
All this without counting the benefits of participating in one of the most important competitions in Europe.
Just by performing well and playing in the Champions League, Aston Villa would be taking home an extra budget for its team. Aston’s potential has been unleashed, let’s wait for the results.
