Winning on the field is wonderful and Inter is experiencing it right now. The 2-0 victory against Parma has confirmed the absolute dominance of the Nerazzurri this season. A dominance that led to winning the championship with three matches to spare.
But beyond the sporting triumph—by no means a given, considering the criticism, inventions, and defeats of the previous year—there is also the economic aspect to consider. And in any case, winning the championship brings in quite a nice sum.
The TV rights accrued in Italy, in fact, are also divided based on the standings. The first place earns 15.7 million, the second 13.2 million, the third 11.3 million. This means that Inter earned almost 16 million with the title, much less than the revenues at the European level, which last season brought in much more, despite the defeat in the final.
The comparison is stark if you think about what happens in other leagues. Whoever wins the Premier League collects about 61.5 million euros, considering the same type of earnings, that is, those related to the standings. The second receives 58.4 million, the third 55.2 million. The gap remains very large.
