Not sure, there's a few crap teams in the champions league. They may have taken some batterings by the time we play them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, glad we're playing them at home but we're a level above them and should beat them, the problem will be how up for it Celtic are and whether we step up, I'd expect with unai the answer is yes and we control the game similar to last night Bratislava will be one of the weakest teams in the competition, they had Andre Green starting for them 2 years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted yesterday at 21:05 Share Posted yesterday at 21:05 And seeing as there's so many teams it does seem a bit weird that Celtic also play brugge, Leipzig and young boys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes looking at the quality of teams we need to finish above to be in the top 8, it's most likely we will be in the middle 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceemo Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Just to mention what the prize money is for the champions league this season: Starting Fee (equal share to all 36 clubs) (€670 million split between 36 teams) All clubs that enter the League Phase earn €18.62 million (£15.67 million) each as a base fee. Champions League: Performance-based prize money (€914 million total) Winner: €25m (£21.07m) Runner-up: €18.5m (£15.59m) Semi-finalists: €15m (£12.64m) Quarter-finalists: €12.5m (£10.53m) Round of 16: €11m (£9.27m) Reaching knockout round play-off: €1m (£842,669) League-phase wins: €2.1m (£1.77m) League-phase draws: €700,000 (£589,868) Villa have already earned £1.77m for the win on Tuesday. Also according to UEFA: 'Additionally, teams will be paid a new league ranking bonus based on their final ranking in the league phase. The league ranking bonus is divided into 666 equal shares of initially valued at €275,000, with the team finishing 36th taking home that solitary share. The 35th team will take two shares and so on until the team finishing top is awarded 36 shares. The undistributed €700,000 from each drawn game will proportionately increase the value of the shares given to each position' Value Pillar (€853 million) Very complicated, but basically suits the bigger clubs from the bigger leagues. Each club will get a share of the €853 million based on the media income that UEFA has got from broadcasters to show the competitions, regardless of performance and is split between incomes earned from European markets (European part) and the rest of the world (non European part). Lets say the European part is 75% of the €853 million and the non-European part is 25% of the €853 million. For the European part, the 36 clubs are ranked based on an average of their 5-year coefficients AND their media ranking. Villa will be low in the coefficient table, but very high in the media table, so for the average will be probably be 18th out of the 36 teams. Man City for example could earn €35 million here, while Villa could earn €20 million regardless of performance, although exact figures are impossible to know. For the non European part, it would be the clubs ranked by their last 10-years coefficient, so Villa would obviously be very low on this table (31st out of the 36), so Man City could earn another €10 million using the percentages above whilst Villa would earn a little over a million. Again exact figures are pure guess work, but the bigger clubs in Europe will earn more because of their historical success. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it’s been the super league, not the champions league, for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
