Champions League Celtic v Slovan Bratislava | Wed 18 Sept 8pm | TNT Sports 2

We’re almost at the, top of the league looking, down on the Real and the only explanation I can fiiiinnnddd

 

Best hangover I've had in a decade.

 

Brilliant Celtic………Still got the ‘Afterglow’

 

I've seen this mentioned a few places about money per goal, but I can't see anything official that backs that up. From a uefa perspective it doesn't make sense. They have a set amount of money to dish out, wins and draws make sense as they can be pretty closely predicted mathematically in advance, cash per goal though could be anything, if every game ended up like the bayern game it would cost them a fortune.

I had a look at the UEFA letter that was sent to member associations which breaks down the payments for all the European games this year and there is no mention in it anywhere about payments for goals, so I think someone has got their wires crossed on this one.

 

Fair enough - I suppose it would be a bit like goal bonuses in player contracts - incentivise attacking matches and therefore makes the competition more appealing - especially for smaller clubs who might be more prone to parking the bus etc?

No idea how concrete that is, heard it on a Celtic podcast and someone at the pub mentioned it as well.

 

Game here if anyone missed it

 

Here's UEFA's own breakdown. There is another section called the value pillar, but it's not relevant to this as it is to do with media rights and coefficients.

TLDR You get money for wins, draws and final place in the league.

1.1 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup

1.1.2 Share for clubs participating in the UCL league phase onwards –
basis: €2.437bn
For the 2024–27 cycle, the net revenue available to participating clubs will be divided
into three different pillars:
- 27.5% will be allocated to equal shares (starting fee) (€670m)
- 37.5% will be allocated to performance-related fixed amounts (€914m)
- 35% will be allocated to the newly created value pillar (€853m)
1.1.2.1 Equal shares – starting fee (€670m)
Each of the 36 clubs that qualify for the league phase can expect to receive a league
phase allocation of €18.62m, split into a down-payment of €17.87m and a balance
of €750k.
3
1.1.2.2 Performance-related amounts (€914m)
• League phase performance bonuses will be paid for each match: €2.1m per win
and €700k per draw. Undistributed amounts (€700k per draw) will be allocated
proportionally to the league phase ranking referred to in the next bullet point.
• In addition, there is a new league ranking bonus: each team will be paid an
amount based on their final ranking in the league phase. The total amount
available for the league ranking bonus is divided into 666 equal shares
(1+2+3+…+35+36). The initial value of each share will be €275k. The lowest-
ranked team will receive one share (€275k). One share will be added to every
rank and so the highest ranked team will receive 36 shares. Any savings from
draws in the league phase (see above bullet point) will proportionally increase
the initial value of the shares distributed to each position.
• On top of the league ranking bonuses, clubs 1 to 8 in the league ranking will
receive an additional €2m and clubs 9 to 16 will receive an additional €1m.
• Clubs that qualify for the knockout stage can expect to receive the following
amounts:
− qualification for the knockout round play-offs: €1m per club
− qualification for the round of 16: €11m per club
− qualification for the quarter-finals: €12.5m per club
− qualification for the semi-finals: €15m per club
− qualification for the final: €18.5m per club
• The UCL winners can expect to receive an additional €6.5m.
• The two clubs that qualify for the 2024 SCUP can each expect to receive €4m,
with the winners receiving an additional €1m

 

Brilliant result.

Some excellent performers, however Scales and AJ were absolutely superb, Scales I think shaded it as was on full game.

 

Apparently we also get 250k per goal.

Really proud of that performance. Pressing, confident and creative. Slovan actually dealt with it well at times but we were too much overall. Great team performance, i'll say it again we are lethal. Only thing that still worries me, we've still got the heeby jeebys and given a quality opponent who can manage the game well we could still make things hard for ourselves.
We'll see, bring on Dortmund

 

Check a couple of posts up, we don't.

 

We are going to make a lot of money!!!!!

 

Anyone else found it weird how they celebrated their goal?

Was so over the top like it meant anything

 

They must know they are playing the 2025 winners of the Champions League

 

One moment epitomised how we play last night. Second half they won possession just outside their box. They had a bit of space and looked like they could get through the middle very swiftly. We hunted them down as a team, shut off all the outballs and then regained our shape so quickly. Unbelievable to see.

 

Watched the highlights today. Weird how the tv doesn’t pick up the atmosphere. It was electric last night, best for a long time.

 

Jota after his free kick vs Real Madrid...

 

Think it was their first ever Champions League goal?!

 

Cheers mate
