GENEVA (AP) \u2014 Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain<\/span> Last season, they topped the UEFA prize money rankings with 144.4 million euros ($168 million), as the competition paid them an extra 400 million euros ($466 million) among Europe’s elite clubs. Expanded new format<\/span>.<\/p>\nThe figures were confirmed in UEFA’s financial report for the 2024-25 season, published on Tuesday ahead of its annual general meeting in Brussels next month.<\/p>\n
Lost finalists Inter Milan also finished second in the prize money list, receiving 136.6 million euros ($159 million) from the UEFA Prize Fund, which distributes 2.47 billion euros ($2.9 billion) among the 36 teams that played the first eight games in the single-place league.<\/p>\n
Seven teams won at least 100 million euros ($116.5 million) in prize money, while five teams won nine-figure prizes. previous season<\/span>a group stage format with 32 teams last year, total funding was 2.08 billion euros ($2.42 billion).<\/p>\nAston Villa was the only one of last season’s quarter-finalists to receive less than 100 million euros in prize money, receiving 83.7 million euros (approximately $97.5 million) paid by UEFA. That was partly explained by Villa’s low UEFA rankings upon their return to the competition after a 41-year hiatus.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid, who lost to Arsenal in the quarterfinals, received less than 102 million euros ($119 million) from UEFA in the Champions League. This is a decrease of 37 million euros ($43 million) from when they won the title in 2024. Madrid earned a further 5 million euros for winning the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta, and 4 million euros for the season opener.<\/p>\n
Inter earned at least twice as much in the Champions League as each of the other four Italian teams in the competition.<\/p>\n
Manchester City had the lowest income of the four English clubs. The reigning English champions earned 76 million euros (approximately $88.5 million) after being eliminated in the first round of the knockout stages by Real Madrid in February.<\/p>\n
Slovakia’s Bratislava paid the least to a Champions League team at less than 22 million euros ($25.6 million). The Slovakian champions lost all eight league games.<\/p>\n
europe and conference money<\/h2>\n
The significant reduction in payments from the Champions League to the Europa League is reflected in the fact that Tottenham, who won the title, received 41 million euros (approximately 4.78 billion yen).<\/p>\n
Losing finalists Manchester United were paid 36 million euros (about $41.9 million) by UEFA last season, but will get nothing this time as they failed to qualify for European competition.<\/p>\n
The third-tier Conference League paid Chelsea 21.8 million euros ($25.4 million) to win the title. Chelsea are currently playing in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
presidential salary freeze<\/h2>\n
According to UEFA’s financial report, president Aleksander Ceferin did not receive a salary increase last season.<\/p>\n
According to UEFA documents, the Slovenian lawyer received a “fixed fee totaling 3.25 million Swiss francs” without bonuses. This is the same as last year and equates to $4 million.<\/p>\n
UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis received a total increase of 2.05 million Swiss francs ($2.56 million) in both salary and bonuses.<\/p>\n
