MUNICH (dpa)
Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will be eyeing a record prize money when they take the pitch on Saturday in the Champions League final.
The winner could bag a total prize money of almost 150 million euros thanks to the new competition format and distribution key.
In comparison, last season's champions Real Madrid cashed 138.8 million euros.
The match winner will receive 10.5 million euros. From that sum, 4 million euros is considered a participation bonus in the UEFA Supercup, which will pitch the Champions League champions against Europa League winners Tottenham.
Both teams have received more than 135 million euros so far this season,
including an 18.6 million euro bonus for participation in the league phase.
Inter Milan finished the league phase in fourth and, therefore, have cashed more money in that stage than PSG, who finished 15th. For the successful knock-out round, the teams received some 57 million euros.
In addition, there are special payments from broadcasting deals. PSG received a larger share than Inter Milan because French broadcasters pay more than Italian ones.
