FC Bayern Munich has earned a record sum with its historic final triumph in the Champions League on Sunday against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0). Although there was “only” four million euros extra in UEFA premiums
for the sixth success in the royal class, the coup will flush up to 135 million euros into the already crowded cash registers.
To the starting money (15.25 million euros) and the premiums for the six wins in the group phase (2.7 each) came further payments for reaching eighth (9.5), fourth (10.5), semi-finals (12) and final game (15). In
addition, Munich receives payments from the so-called coefficient pool, which takes account of the achievements of the past ten years (33.24 million), as well as the market pool.
