    In Case You Missed The ManU-Chelsea Shootout...

    DateSaturday, May 31, 2008 at 10:52AM

    I wanted to post the stellar Manchester United-Chelsea shootout from two weeks ago...

    Why? Because everyone loves shootouts... and there were a few other key notes:

    • AIG, Samsung, Ford and Heineken receive incredible publicity - the four (4) global brands are engrained in a moment that many Europeans and soccer fans across the globe will NEVER forget
    • 166MM euros were on the line
      • John Terry, who missed the fifth penalty kick for Chelsea (to win) is the highest paid player in the Premier League, making 6.8MM euros per year (130,000 euros per week!)
      • In 2007-08, Chelsea payed out 132.8MM euros (an equivalent of $263MM!) to its players - the highest salary costs of any club in the Premier League (In contrast, ManU spent 92.3MM euros...)
      • Salary costs for Europe's top-flight soccer clubs have risen to a record 63% of the team's overall revenue
