How much money does Real Madrid get for winning the Champions League?

Real Madrid was proclaimed champion of the Champions League this Saturday after beating Liverpool 1-0 in the final played at the Stade de France in Paris. In this way, the white team is consecrated with its Fourteenth European Cup thanks to a goal from Vinicius in the second half.

Real Madrid’s journey to win this Champions League has been really tough. After passing with flying colors in the group stage (with five wins and one loss), Carlo Ancelotti’s team faced PSG in the round of 16, in the quarter-finals against defending champions Chelsea, and in the semi-finals against Manchester City , in a qualifying round that will go down in history.

In economic terms, Real Madrid has achieved a great pitch. To know the exact amounts that the white team will take, we have to wait for the market pool, the system that allocates an amount of money to each country based on its value as a television market for the competition, and that will be known once the competition is over. Champions. According to estimates from recent years, these amounts would be around 10-15 million.

Regarding sporting merits, Real Madrid has received 82.3 million euros, which can be broken down into: 15.6 million for participating; 14 million for games won in the group stage (5 games won at a rate of 2.8 million per victory); 9.6 million to reach the round of 16; 10.6 for reaching the quarterfinals; 12.5 for being in the semis; 15.5 for qualifying for the final; and 4.5 for winning it.

Instead, the UEFA coefficient is drawn up based on the results achieved in recent years by all European clubs in UEFA club competitions. The higher the coefficient, the more points. And, each point, with a maximum of 32, awards 1.1 million euros to each club. Therefore, Real Madrid can boast of already having 27.5 million euros insured.

To these 109.8 million euros (82.3 for sporting merits plus 27.5 for the UEFA coefficient), we would have to add the 3.5 million euros for participating in the next European Super Cup (plus another million in the case of winning it), so winning the Champions League implies benefits for Real Madrid, in the absence of the market pool, of around 113.3 million euros.
