Dinamo’s Champions League Journey: Strong Performance, Big Earnings, but No Knockout Stage

Dinamo Zagreb won against AC Milan in the eighth and final round of the Champions League and finished the group stage with 11 points.

However, this was not enough for them to qualify for the knockout stage due to unfavorable results in other matches.

By simply qualifying for the Champions League, Dinamo secured €34 million, while each group stage victory brought in €2.1 million and a draw €700,000. Dinamo achieved three wins (Milan, Slovan, Salzburg), two draws (Celtic, Monaco), and three losses (Bayern, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund), earning a total of €7.6 million.

As the 25th club in the final standings, Dinamo received an additional €3.3 million, as the last-placed team gets €275,000, with each higher position earning the same incremental amount.
