That amount comes from a combination of bonuses from results and fixed payments for participating in the league stage, plus additional prizes for advancing at every knockout stage.
In addition to the 15 million prize, the team playing the semifinals would get ticket sales from the home leg of the next round, whether itās against Arsenal or Sporting Lisbon. And they could go on to get 18.5 million for advancing to the Final, plus 6.5 million for winning it. And if you do win it, you earn 4 million for participating in the European Super Cup, and 1 million more for winning it.
All told, a team that wins both the Champions League and the Super Cup could be due a total payout of around 150 million counting all fixed payments and bonuses from one Champions League campaign + one edition of the Super Cup.
