Galatasaray adds 2.1 million euros to its coffers with the win over Lille

Galatasaray beat Lille 4-2 away in the Champions League to pick up their first win of the tournament. With this result, the yellow-reds gained a significant boost to their finances on top of the success on the pitch.

Galatasaray, who earned a direct place in the tournament, had previously secured about 18 million euros in revenue. That amount was the starting point of the club's income from Europe over the season.

The win over Lille brought in 2.1 million euros. With that money added, Galatasaray's total Champions League revenue rose above 20 million euros.

In addition to a participation fee, clubs in the Champions League also receive a win bonus for each match. Galatasaray's revenue items can therefore change with every game.

The match in France went on record as the yellow-red side's first win in Europe this season. Galatasaray scored four goals and conceded two to their opponent.
