Champions League
Salzburg: Off to Prague with 40 million in the bag
Even Scrooge McDuck would be jealous of this chunk of money! The league phase of the Champions League hasn't even started yet, but it is already safe to assume that runners-up Salzburg will have to increase their cash hoard.
Participation alone earns the Mozartstadt team an entry fee of 18.62 million euros. Added to this is another 21 million euros from the Bulls' European Cup performances over the past ten years and the importance of the domestic TV market.
This means that Salzburg has already secured €40 million before the opening game at Sparta Prague! Income from ticket sales and possible points bonuses have not even been factored in.
Still unbeaten
Pep Lijnders' team will be hoping for the latter on Wednesday in the "Golden City". However, the Czech champions should by no means be underestimated - it is no coincidence that they are nicknamed "Iron Sparta". Dane Lars Friis' team are extremely difficult to play against and are still unbeaten this season. The oddsmakers consider the home side to be the slight favorite.
Both teams are well rested. Not only was Salzburg's clash with Austria Klagenfurt canceled after the international break, but also the entire round in the Czech Republic. Oumar Solet is no longer with the Bulls - an agreement was reached with the Frenchman to terminate his contract.
