The opponents for Sporting in the league phase of this season's Champions League have been set. The Alvalade Club was in pot 3 and will face Bayern (away), PSG (home), Juventus (away), Club Brugge (home), Marseille (home), Napoli (away), Kairat (home), and Athletic Bilbao (away). See HERE how the draw went.

The games will be played on the following dates, with the schedule to be announced next Saturday: September 16 to 18; September 30 and October 1; October 21 and 22; November 4 and 5; November 25 and 26; December 9 and 10; January 20 and 21 and January 28.

Direct entry into the elite of European football is worth 34 million euros to Sporting's coffers. The amount accumulated by the lion emblem may not stop there, depending on the results obtained in the competition. To these millions, an additional 2.1M can be added for each victory and 700 thousand euros for each draw. Qualification in the top eight is worth another 2M and going to the play off is worth another 1M.

It's worth remembering that the last edition of the Champions League was the one in which Sporting recorded its highest financial intake. Taking into account access, results, and qualification for the play off, the lion's coffers saw an influx of 48.984 million euros.

For now, the green and white emblem will return to the field next Saturday, August 30, against Porto. The match, counting for the fourth round of the National Championship, against the team led by Francesco Farioli, will be played at 8:30 pm, in Alvalade.
