Eye-Popping Champions League Revenue Sees UEFA Finally Give The Right Team The Most Money
Real Madrid won its third straight Champions League in 2018. For once, Los Blancos also topped the charts in Champions League revenue.
UEFA released the 2017-18 Champions League revenue (and Europa League, if anyone cares) on Thursday. For the first time during Real Madrid’s impressive back-to-back-to-back UCL championships, the club also won the most prize money.
UEFA doled out $1.605 billion in Champions League revenue, an increase over the $1.5 billion it gave out in 2016-17. Real Madrid took home $100.8 million of it.
