Tears streaming down my face, Mirambi, who belongs to the Champions League, has returned!
All the matches in the second leg of the quarter finals of the Champions League have been eliminated, and the semi-finals of the Champions League have been announced as follows:
Real Madrid vs Manchester City, Milan vs Inter Milan
The two legs of the Champions League semi-finals will take place on May 10th, 11th, and May 17th, 18th Beijing time. Real Madrid will play against Manchester City first and then away, while Milan will play against Inter Milan first and then away. The final will be held on June 11th at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.
Real Madrid eliminated Chelsea 4-0 overall to advance, and will face Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City in two consecutive Champions League knockout matches.
Last season in the Champions League, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool in the quarter finals, semifinals, and finals respectively.
This season in the Champions League, Real Madrid eliminated Liverpool 6-2 in the quarter finals, Chelsea in the quarter finals, and Manchester City in the semi-finals.
After Manchester City eliminated Bayern Munich and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League, Guardiola was asked about the match against Real Madrid:
In the past 13 years, Real Madrid has reached the semi-finals 11 times… we have been in the semi-finals for three consecutive years, and I think our achievements are also incredible. I think all clubs in the world feel that if you want to win the Champions League, you must defeat Real Madrid. It was Barcelona before, but now it is Real Madrid
Milan’s total score is 2-1 Napoli, Inter Milan’s total score is 5-3 Benfica; The two teams met again in the semi-finals of the Champions League after an interval of 18 years, playing a Milan derby. Tears welled up, and 18 years later, Milan derby, who belongs to the Champions League, returned!
With Milan’s duo joining in the semi-finals of the Champions League, this season’s Serie A team’s Champions League bonus table has once again been refreshed. Here are the details:
- AC Milan 87.64 million euros
- Inter Milan 84.78 million euros
- Naples 78.88 million euros
- Juventus € 58.49 million (not yet playing away to Portugal)
Regardless of who AC Milan or Inter Milan can advance to the final of the Champions League, they will receive at least 15.5 million euros in promotion bonuses, bringing their prize money from UEFA this year to nearly 100 million euros.
However, due to the strong performance of Serie A teams in the Champions League this year, they were not given much in terms of broadcast share. However, even if they did not advance to the final, the winning prize money for the two Milan Randby matches in the semi-finals and at least 7-8 million euros (with a maximum selling price of nearly 900 to 1000) per game were enough to make Milan and Inter Milan a big profit.
