JAKARTA - Inter Milan players will get a bonus of hundreds of billions of rupiah if they qualify in each knockout round of the Champions League. If they win, Lautaro Martinez et al will definitely pocket a bonus of 5 million euros or 85 billion rupiah which is divided equally by all players.

Inter have ambitions to win the Champions League for the first time since 2010. This Italian Serie A giant last won 14 years ago when Jose Mourinho handled it.

Even that season, Inter won trebles. This makes I Nerazzurri the only club in Italy to win three trophies in a season.

Inter actually reached the final last season. However, Simone Inzaghi's team had to admit Manchester City's superiority. They were forced to give up 1-0.

Despite failing to win, Inzaghi said he was not disappointed. According to him, Inter's success in reaching the final was extraordinary. However, the situation is different this season because Inter are one of the favorites besides Man City, Bayer Munich and Real Madrid. Inter themselves have stepped into the last 16 to meet Atletico Madrid.

In the first match Inter were already 1-0 up. Inter only needed a draw to qualify in the second match at Atletico's home, March 13, 2024.

The players will also get a bonus if they qualify for the quarter-finals. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club prepares a bonus of 2 million euros or approximately 34 billion rupiah for each team to qualify from the knockout round. The bonus is divided equally to each player.

If they qualify for the semifinals, the players will get another 2 million euros bonus. If they reach the final again and then become champions, their bonus will increase to 5 million euros. In total, Inter players get a bonus of 9 million euros or 153.4 billion rupiah.

Only the bonus of hundreds of billions of rupiah was not for each player, but divided equally by the team. Meanwhile, Inzaghi and the staff got their own bonuses.

In addition to that bonus, players who are top or stars still get bonuses according to their contracts. The additional bonus can reach 4 million euros or 68 billion rupiah.

Despite getting a big bonus, Inzaghi's troops had to work hard to achieve it. When the Scudetto was almost in hand, now Inter is aiming for a wide-early trophy.
