Man City players on massive Champions League win bonuses

Manchester City's players are on massive bonuses to win this month's Champions League.

City host Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium on Friday as the Champions League returns, with Pep Guardiola's side in the driving seat to reach the quarter-finals.

They hold a one-goal lead after a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu, earned in February before coronavirus halted the season.

The Daily Mail says some of the club's top players, such as midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and David Silva, stand to earn in the region of £1m if they lift the trophy.

City's bonus structure is not, however, an old-fashioned 'pot' of money to be shared among the squad. Bonuses are individually stipulated in each player's contract.

By comparison, the club's payouts for clinching the Premier League title range from around £400,000 to £750,000 per man.
