    For the group matches/qualifiers, each team receives roughly 3.7 MM Euros in prize money. In addition, for each group match, each team receives 340,000 Euros for a win, and 170,000 Euros for a draw.

    Advancing to the round of 16 is awarded with 1.7 MM Euros. Advancing to the round of 8 is an additional 2 MM Euros payday. Advancing to the semi-finals is worth an additional 2.7 MM Euros. In the final, the second place finishing team receives 4 MM Euros, and the CL champion goes to the bank 6.7 MM Euros richer.

    In addition to these performance-based compensations, all CL teams are awarded millions of Euros from a marketing pool which is based on revenues from the sale of TV rights in the respective countries.

    Not forgetting ticket income and associated commercial income. English teams come off well in this regard, as they generally get high percentage attendances for European games, and they charge the highest ticket prices in Europe, especially in London.

    German teams make the most money off of TV revenue though because of thier huge market. I think last year even though Bayern got knocked out in the first group stage they still were in the top 5 in CL revenue.
