Both PSG and Inter have already pocketed over €135 million in the current season. This windfall includes €18.62 million each as a base bonus for the group stage. Inter's better initial performance, more victories, and fourth place in the table, generously filled their coffers with a higher group stage remuneration than PSG, who finished fifteenth. The knockout rounds, with triumphs in the round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals, then added another €57 million to their stashes.
Additionally, they receive proportional bonus payments from a sizable pot laden with television revenues from their respective countries. With French broadcasters shelling out more than their Italian counterparts, PSG raked in a larger share than Inter.
