Champions League winners Real Madrid have bagged 57.4 million euros from this season's tournament to receive the biggest UEFA payment.

UEFA has said that the 32 teams that qualified for the group stage shared 904 million euros in prize money and bonuses.

According to Sport24, Paris Saint-Germain were second in the money table as they bagged 54.4 million euros despite losing in the quarterfinals.

PSG scored well by reportedly claiming a big share of French television rights money, but UEFA is withholding 20 million euros as a fine for overspending.

Champions League finalist Atletico Madrid, who lost to Real, are reportedly third bagging 50 million euros.

 

UEFA said that Manchester United, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Barcelona all earned at least 40 million euros, the report added.

The lost payment of 12.2 million euros was received by Anderlecht, the report further added.
