Million dollar rain for Real Madrid

Real Madrid, after winning the Champions League for the 16th time in history, pocketed 138.79 million euros - a huge number.

Accordingly, the huge gap between the amount of money that Real Madrid earns compared to the Barcelona women's team. Although both teams won the Champions League, the rewards they receive are clearly different.

Real Madrid, after winning the Champions League for the 16th time in their history, pocketed a whopping 138.79 million euros. It was the result of an impressive season, excellent performance and huge UEFA coefficient bonuses over the years.

Along with that, coach Carlo Ancelotti's team also earned an additional 36.38 million euros from the UEFA coefficient and 14.31 million euros from the market revenue share (formerly called "market pool", now replaced by "pillar value"). This helped Real Madrid firmly hold the leading position in revenue in Europe last season.

Although they cannot match the amount of money that Real Madrid earned, Barcelona still had a successful financial season. The Catalan club earned 98.38 million euros, thanks to a "pillar value" bonus of 15.21 million euros - more than Real Madrid.

However, this is still a modest sum compared to the huge amount of money that the Spanish royal team has earned. However, Barcelona is not the only Spanish team making a big financial mark.

Along with that, coach Carlo Ancelotti's team also earned an additional 36.38 million euros from UEFA coefficient and 14.31 million euros from market revenue sharing.

Atletico Madrid continued to show their financial strength, earning €92.96 million, making them one of the teams with the highest revenue from the Champions League. Sevilla and Real Sociedad were not far behind, earning €50.77 million and €50.1 million respectively. These figures show that Spanish football is dominating the prize money from European tournaments.

The list of teams with the highest revenue from the Champions League season 2023/24, in addition to Real Madrid, also includes prominent names such as: PSG - 122.44 million euros (34 million euros from "pillar value"), Borussia Dortmund - 120.75 million euros, Bayern Munich - 120.40 million euros, Manchester City - 110.45 million euros. These teams not only dominate on the field but also on the revenue rankings, showing the financial dominance of Europe's biggest clubs.

In total, the seven Spanish clubs competing in European competitions in the 2023/24 season (Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico, Real Sociedad, Sevilla, Betis and Villarreal) will earn a total of €465 million from their achievements and UEFA prizes. Compared to other countries, Spain is clearly the leading country in terms of revenue in European competitions, while English clubs only earn around €383 million, German clubs earn €411 million, and Italian clubs earn €330 million.

It is worth noting that although Barcelona Women won the Women's Champions League in 2024, the prize money they received was a paltry €1.38 million - a figure significantly lower than what Real Madrid earned from the men's tournament. This difference of €137.41 million shows the huge financial gap between men's and women's football, despite the progress of women's football in recent years.

UEFA is well aware of this injustice and is working to close the gap between the men's and women's competitions. The total prize money for clubs participating in the Women's Champions League (from the group stage onwards) will be €18.2 million from 2025 to 2027, rising to €24.1 million from 2027 to 2030. This is part of UEFA's strategy to ensure the sustainable and equitable development of women's football in the future.
