The size of a competition that until now was not too momentous will notably increase. 'Goal' affirms that the 8 European teams alongside the other 16 teams will earn 50 million.
As well as this huge sum just for taking part, the prize pot will also be split, with the winner of the tournament getting 115 million.
That's why no team has rejected this new format. While the 50 million will act as a good incentive for the Champions League winners, it will be even more help to the Europa League winners, a competition that doesn't usually have as much prize money.
In this way, both Real Madrid and Atlético (as well as Liverpool and Chelsea) have 50 million assured for summer 2021 when this new format of the Club Wolrd Cup will make its debut.
