Man City’s TV & prize money earnings after Champions League win | OneFootball

Perennial Premier League champions Manchester City have received a handsome reward for beating Inter Milan in the Champions League final to become the second English club to seal a famous treble.

Based on the research conducted by the Swiss Ramble, City have earned around €131 million in TV prize money as a reward for the second treble in English football history.

As the competition’s winners and arguably its biggest entertainers, the Cityzens have been adequately rewarded for their trouble.

But the other Premier League teams cannot complain about their share in the prize pool.

Despite failing to overcome the first knockout hurdle, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have made substantial profits for only making it out of the group stages.

While the Reds pocketed around €82m from the TV prize money alone, Spurs took home approximately €64m despite drawing a blank in both last-16 legs against AC Milan.

Reaching the Champions League quarter-finals was perhaps the only bright spot in an otherwise humiliating season for Chelsea, which paid off financially as they made €94m.

As for the money they Man City from conquering Europe’s most prestigious competition, the Cityzens’ earnings are off the charts.

From the financial standpoint, Rodri’s winner in the Istanbul showpiece was only the icing on the cake, considering the Cityzens already had an eye-watering around €126m in the bag courtesy of reaching the final.

Although it sounds bizarre, UEFA’s payment structure offers a much more significant prize for landing a place in the title-deciding fixture than winning the trophy.

Here’s how it works

Each of the 32 teams participating in the group stage received a base participation fee of €15.6m.

But in addition to that figure, Man City earned an extra €28.4m due to their ten-year coefficient payment for this season.

They gained €2.8m for each of their four group stage victories, €930,000 for their two additional draws, plus the €9.6m for progressing into the knockout stage.

From there, the Cityzens made around €38.6m for overpowering RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid en route to setting up only their second-ever appearance in the Champions League final.

It brings us to a total figure of €95m for reaching the showpiece event.
