As reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', the total prize money spread across all competing teams will hike up from €2.3billion to €3.4billion, an increase of €1.1billion that will go directly into the clubs' pockets.
Europa League competitors will also receive a boosted reward, as the total prize money increases by €100m up to €500m.
The biggest news in their announcement is the introduction of a bonus for teams based on historical results. This new system will favour teams with a tradition of success in Europe, in essence benefiting big clubs such as Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan, who have been succesful in the CL in the past. These clubs will share out a pot of €528m, with a maximum of €32m per team per game.
With respect to the games themselves, each team will receive a fixed €15m for just competing in the tournament, which represents an increase of €2.3m compared to this year. For a draw, both sides will receive €900,000, whereas a win will net the victor €2.7m.
Making it to the round of 16 will activate a bonus of €9.5m, the quarter-finals €10.5m, and the semis €12m. The two sides that get all the way to the final, which will be played in Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitana stadium in 2019, will bank €15m, with the winner taking home €19m.
With all that added together, the team that manages to make it through every stage of the tournament to lift the prestigious Champions League trophy will be the recipient of an incredible €76m in prize money. Furthermore, this total does not take into account historical ranking and extra league-related bonuses, meaning the final figure would be in the region of €100million. Not half bad.
