ZURICH: Barcelona and Manchester United earned over 50mil (US$72mil) each after reaching the Champions League final last season, UEFA said on Tuesday.
Last season’s 32 Champions League teams received a total of 754.1mil from a combination of performance-related payments and the television pool.
United were the biggest earners, with 53.20mil comprising more than 27mil for their performances and another 25.9mil from the television pool, UEFA said.
Despite winning the final 3-1, Barcelona’s earnings were slightly less at 51mil, as their performance-related payments were 30.7mil but they collected only 20.3mil from television.
UEFA said other top earners were Chelsea (44.52mil), Schalke 04 (39.75mil), Real Madrid (39.28mil), Inter Milan (37.98mil), Bayern Munich (32.56mil) and Tottenham Hotspur (31.13mil).
UEFA added that money from the centralised television pool was distributed according to the value of the teams in their own national market.
All clubs were entitled to a minimum 7.2mil from the group stage. Further performance bonuses and participation fees were awarded in each of the knockout stages. — Reuters
