Champions League prize money reveals how much Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund will earn as winners

The  final between  and Real Madrid is almost upon us.

Madrid will go in search of a record-extending 15th Champions League title after Carlo Ancelotti’s side knocked out current holders  in the quarter-finals before squeezing past Bayern Munich in the semis.

Dortmund, meanwhile, upset Paris Saint-Germain in the last four with a superb display to reach their first final in the competition since 2013.

On that occasion, Dortmund fell to a 2-1 defeat to German rivals Bayern at  but will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend as they return to London.

But there will be more than just a trophy on the line at Wembley, with the winning team also set to receive a significant cash prize.

Ahead of the final, here’s a look at the prize money on offer for this season’s Champions League.

How much prize money do the winners get?

The winner of Saturday’s showpiece event will pocket €20million (£17.1m), with the runner-up also taking home a healthy €15.5m (£13.2m).

However, that prize money is only for the final, with clubs in the competition receiving prize money for reaching different stages of the competition and for results in the group stage.

Performance-based prize money accounts for around 55% of the total winnings distributed to clubs by UEFA.

Another €600m (£512m) is handed out to teams based on their UEFA coefficient rankings, while the final €300m (£256m) from broadcasting is shared between national federations and their respective clubs.
