I'd pay the initial 5 mil depending on where the first leg is, if they're still in with a shot then pay the second bit before the return leg.

Isn't the CL semi final fee giant anyway for participating teams, with extra tv cash etc?

Probably a decent bit of cash for reaching the semis but they surely need the cash for other bits and pieces. Like electricity and wages?

Yeah, though they could schedule their games for afternoon kick-offs so really they have no excuse for the electricity factor.

Food, maybe, could be an issue but get the players to bring packed lunches, I mean, why not right?

Diego Costa's future transfer destination could well be up for discussion too.

I'd prefer Chelsea to draw Bayern and Real to draw Atletico tbh.

I actually don't think that is classless at all. Quite a wise move by Chelsea if you ask me.

Why not just the standard can't play against parent club? Imagine if this is one epic mind game and right before the semis, AM shove the money up rentie's ass

That rule isn't allowed in Spain.

Chelsea get Real, Bayern get Atleti.

Madrid derby final.

Ronaldo scores the winner, and in a surprise press conference announces he has achieved everything he wants to at Real Madrid (La Decima) and will sign for United this summer.

In a concurrent surprise press conference, Simeone thanks Atletico for giving him his start in top level management, he feels that the defeat marks the furthest he can take the team, and will sign for United in the summer.

Uefa say that Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan from Chelsea, will be eligible to face his parent club if they meet in the Champions League semi-finals or final.

Under the terms of the deal that took Courtois to Spain, Atletico would have had to hand over a sizable fee for the Belgium star to play against the Blues but Uefa have rejected that idea.
