GdS: How the Coppa Italia can help Milan halve losses from no Champions League | OneFootball

After winning the Supercoppa Italiana in January, AC Milan are preparing to play another final this season in the Coppa Italia against Bologna.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanPress) reports, winning two trophies this season would help to close it at least with dignity, in addition to helping with revenues. In fact, at present it looks like the only possible way to get into the Europa League.

The loss of revenue from the Champions League will be felt a lot, but the Rossoneri will try to ease the pain by focusing entirely on the final at the Stadio Olimpico. If Milan were to left their second trophy of the season, the total revenue generated by the two would be €18m.

From the Supercoppa €11m have already been collected, while the journey in the cup has brought almost €3m so far. Even in the event of a failure to win, the figure would not fall too far below the aforementioned figure: the second-placed team collects €1.9m, while the winner €4.4m.

This is not the point, though: winning the Coppa Italia would bring the Europa League, which would pay €13.3m into the accounts just for participation. This would reach a total of around €30m, significantly reducing the Champions League losses, which guarantees €45-50m minimum.
