As the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League approaches its final in Munich between PSG and Inter Milan, financial figures reveal how much each participating team has earned under the competition’s new league-style format, which replaced the traditional group stages. With 36 teams now playing eight matches each, smaller clubs had a better chance to increase their revenue.
Lowest Earners (36th–27th):
Clubs like Slovan Bratislava, Sturm Graz, and Sparta Prague were among the lowest earners, with Bratislava making the least at just under £19 million. Bologna and Dinamo Zagreb were also on the lower end, though they crossed the £30 million mark.
Mid-Tier Earnings (26th–17th):
Teams such as Celtic, Sporting Lisbon, and Stade Brestois fell into the mid-tier, earning between £39.7m and £56.07m. PSV topped this bracket with just over £56 million in revenue.
Upper Mid-Tier (16th–7th):
This category included European heavyweights like Juventus, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Manchester City. Real Madrid and Liverpool made the most in this group, with earnings of £87.48m and £84.30m respectively.
Top Earners (6th–1st):
The top six were led by semi-finalists and finalists. Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich earned over £87m and £90m respectively. Barcelona and Arsenal, both eliminated in the semis, made nearly £99 million each.
Arsenal earned £99.21 million after strong performances against PSV and Real Madrid.
Inter Milan made £115.86 million, and Paris Saint-Germain topped the list with £116.95 million, as they head into the final looking for their first ever Champions League trophy.
