Premier League rivals count the cost of Chelsea’s Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich
Chelsea’s penalty shoot-out win against Bayern Munich last Saturday night will cost Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal tens of millions of pounds.
extract:
“The difference in the two funding formulas could cost United as much as £9.8 million, Arsenal up to £8 million and Manchester City perhaps £3.7 million. But Chelsea would be the big beneficiaries. Had they finished fourth and gone in to the group stage through the qualifying rounds they would have earned up to £21.5 million less than under the revised formula. “
Although the caveat is that all this has to be approved at its executive meeting in July.
