Big payday for champions Real

– Real Madrid earned just over €88.6 million from Uefa following the Spanish giants’ record 13th European Cup title last season.

Uefa distributed €1.412 billion to all the clubs that participated in the 2017/18 Champions League group stage, as well as the 10 teams eliminated in the play-off round.

The money was allocated based on performance and “market pool” payments, which were determined by the value of the TV market in each country.

Runners-up Liverpool earned €81.3m, slightly less than the €83.8m paid to semifinalists Roma. –
