€50m Euro pay-day on offer

MANCHESTER CITY’S clash against Tottenham tonight could be worth €50 million to the winners if they progress in the Champions League next season.

Spurs will seal a place in the top four of the Premier League if they win at Eastlands, a draw would still see them in the driving seat, while defeat would hand the advantage to City with a game to play.

“By getting into the group stages of the Champions League you are guaranteed approximately €25 million, if you went on to win it then it’s another €20 million, then each home game generates around €1.5million,” said Alan Switzer, director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
