Last but not least: 100 million euros wasted
100 million euros for a soccer player—you hardly even notice the annual transfer madness anymore. Zeit.de has created a great visualization of what that amount really means.
Admittedly: Gareth Bale has been warming the hearts of football fans for years. One of those players whose added value on the pitch is obvious without having to endure tedious badi-trickli or interpret hidden tactical genius. Bale has always made the difference on the pitch, running away from everyone, keeping hold of the ball and, for example, scoring.
Nevertheless, the fact that the heavily indebted club Real Madrid paid 100 million euros - around 125 million Swiss francs - for him is beyond comprehension. Most people have no idea what this amount means. Remedy offers Time.com with a beautiful illustration. It shows that you could buy a Boeing 737 Max 8, for example. Would you have thought that an airliner would cost 100 million euros? At least it is probably cheaper to maintain than a top footballer who has to be satisfied with absurd salary payments after the takeover. You could also buy three ICE trains or almost 1000 Porsche Carrera S cars. Or employ 405 Merkels for a year. You can find the illustration at this link.
