And with Inter’s heroics on the pitch, they have also brought in huge revenues in the form of prize money from UEFA.

The Nerazzurri have already guaranteed themselves revenues of €113.5 million in prize money so far.

And that could keep on rising. Inter could earn more than €140 million if they were to win the Champions League.

However, even if Inter don’t take another penny from the competition, they’ll already have had the most lucrative season in the competition for any Italian club ever.

Juventus had been the previous record-holders. The Bianconeri reached the final of the Champions League in the 2016-17  campaign.

That brought revenues of €110.4 million into the Turin giants’ coffers.

Inter Milan have not gotten to the final yet, as they had done in the 2022-23 season.

However, participation in the Champions League is now worth more than ever. Particularly with the expansion of the format.

Therefore, Inter have already brought in more money than Juventus had in reaching the final.
