Real Madrid, kings of Europe in terms of income too

Over the years, Real Madrid has built its legend in Europe on sporting success.

The team has shone in what was known as the European Cup and in the more recent Champions League, achieving a total of 13 titles.

However, beyond the titles, the team from the Spanish capital has also triumphed financially, especially in the modern era of competition. 

According to 'L'Équipe', Zinedine Zidane's team is the most successful in terms of revenue in the history of the Champions League.

Since the 1992-93 season, when they switched to this name (leaving the European Cup behind), the team has earned a total of 863.3 million euros for their results in the tournament.

Despite this, Real Madrid's advantage over its main rivals in this respect is not that big. In second place is Bayern Munich, who have earned almost €827 million since 1992 thanks to the continent's top competition.

The last in the podium is Barcelona, the eternal rivals, who have cashed in €811.4 million from their participation in the Champions League. These three are the only ones that surpass the 800 million barrier, which speaks volumes on their steadily good performances on a European level in last 28 years.
