Old injury bothers Tchouameni with Real Madrid

Real Madrid are in a difficult situation to maintain their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League this season.

According to the Spanish newspaper “AS”, Real Madrid will play a final match tomorrow, Tuesday, against Atalanta in Bergamo to maintain their chances of qualifying.

Real Madrid is ranked 24th in the Champions League standings with 24 points, and its loss to Atalanta will temporarily remove it from the list of teams qualified to play in the qualifiers for the round of 16 (the first 24 teams).

It pointed out that the Atalanta match is also decisive for Real Madrid from an economic point of view, as the club suffers from a significant decline in its revenue expectations.

Real Madrid has so far received only 4.2 million euros out of 10.5 million euros that it could have collected if it had won all five previous rounds (the winner of each match receives 2.1 million euros, while a draw grants 700 thousand euros).

If the team qualifies through the qualifying stage to the round of 16, it will only receive one million euros, while qualifying directly to the round of 16 among the first 8 teams in the standings guarantees a prize of 11 million euros, but it is almost impossible for the Merengue to reach this category.
