The elimination of Corinthians in the third phase of Libertadores, besides the sports thud, also becomes a true financial drama for the club.
The team led by Ramón Díaz (12) 2-0, but failed to reverse the score of the first leg. At the time, Timon was defeated 3-0 in Guayaquil.
The awards for 2025 have not yet been released by Conmebol, but by 2024, a 100% champion team of the group stage could make up US $ 33.2 million (Approximately R $ 193.4 million in the current price).
The fall for Barcelona cost Corinthians US $ 3 million (R $ 17.4 million). This is the amount that Conmebol paid in 2024 to the teams that disputed the group stage, not to mention the bonus for victory.
Now, Timon will play in the South American Cup, whose top prize last year was US $ 9.1 million (R $ 53 million). The difference between the awards of the two competitions can reach R $ 140.4 million.
It will happen next Monday, March 17, from 20h (Brasília time).
