This evening, Inter plays at San Siro one of the most important matches of their season: at 9pm at the Meazza, they’ll face Bayern Munich for the return leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Following the Nerazzurri’s 2-1 victory in the first leg in Germany, Simone Inzaghi’s team will seek further confirmation tonight at home.

As emphasized today by La Gazzetta dello Sport, this match represents a very important opportunity for the Nerazzurri also from an economic standpoint. Inter have already earned over 100 million euros from this year’s Champions League, and in case of a win tonight, they would gain an additional 15 million euros, plus significant box office revenue from a potential semi-final.

Because of this, there is also discussion of a large bonus for the team in the event of advancing past Bayern. Inter’s management is planning prizes totalling 3 million euros to distribute to their players should they reach a crucial Champions League semi-final, which would represent a major boost for the club’s finances.
