[Saba Sports News] Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain finally won their first-ever Champions League trophy in history. Moreover, they set a record for the highest single-season revenue in the Champions League. It is reported that Paris Saint-Germain became the team with the highest total Champions League prize money this season, amounting to 148.4 million euros. UEFA’s Champions League prize money mainly consists of basic participation rewards, television broadcasting shares, and club coefficients and past five years of European competition performance, as well as match result bonuses. Despite their poor performance in the group stage, thanks to their high coefficient and a strong performance leading all the way to the final and eventually winning the title, they topped the prize rankings. Added to this are revenue increases from French media broadcast agreements and ticket sales, pushing their European competition revenue over 200 million euros. The editor believes that the generous prize money and record-breaking income are a recognition and motivation for the team. Players will realize that their efforts have not only brought honor but also actual economic benefits, further boosting their fighting spirit in future matches to achieve more victories. This will make Paris Saint-Germain’s image even stronger in European football. It will help attract more talented young players and enhance the team’s competitiveness and status in the international football world.
