Jackpot in sight for Paris Saint-Germain. Defeated by Aston Villa (2-3) at Villa Park, the men of Luis Enrique will, despite everything, be very present at the semi-finals of the Champions League after their convincing victory at the Parc des Princes on April 9 (3-1). While waiting to meet the iron with Arsenal, executioner of Real Madrid, the Parisians can already celebrate a (very) good comeback of money.
Indeed, by counting their participation bonus (€ 18.62M), their classification bonus (€ 6.05 million), their results premium (€ 9.1 million) and their qualification premium in dams (€ 1 million), the French champions in title were already guaranteed to collect 34.77 million euros at the end of the league phase.

Finally, the Club World Cup, organized from June 15 to July 13, 2025 in the United States, will offer the largest endowment distributed in history for a tournament, with nearly a billion euros for the 32 participating clubs.
