Real Madrid earn staggering £46M from Decima triumph

Real Madrid raked in a staggering £46 million from their successful Champions League campaign last season.

Real beat city rivals Atletico 4-1 in a memorable Lisbon final to win their first European Cup since 2002 and their tenth overall.

And they consequently pocketed the biggest share of UEFA's £726m prize fund for the 32 clubs that qualified for the group stage.

Beaten finalists Atletico earned £40.1m for their efforts, putting them third on the Champions League money list.

Paris Saint-Germain split the Madrid sides despite bowing out in the quarter-finals, getting £43.7m thanks mainly to lucrative French TV rights.

However, UEFA is withholding £16m as a fine for overspending in breach of their Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Barcelona finished with £33.7 million.
