How much money Chelsea have made after overcoming Man City in the Champions League final.
Chelsea achieved a major cash advance following their Champions League victory over Man City.
Kai Havertz notched the only goal to fire Thomas Tuchel’s men to a remarkable victory over their Premier League rivals to claim the final prize in Porto.
And as well as bringing home the coveted piece of silverware, the Blues also got themselves a palatable lump sum for their efforts.
The Champions League prize money is divided based on how far each side advance in the competition and how many matches they win along the way.
Teams who enter the group stage receive a fee of £13.14m, while each win in the group pays £2.32m and a draw gets you £770k.
Teams who then achieve to progress to the knockout stage of the tournament are then granted additional prize money.

Teams earn £8.16m for advancing to the round of 16, £9m for the quarter-finals and £10.3m for the semi-finals.
The winners of the Champions League then pocket £16m compared to the runners-up who receive £13m.
The Cityzens won five group stage matches and drew one, suggesting they had made over £50m before the final.
Their runner-up ending implies they have raked in just over £60m.
Chelsea won four group matches, drawing two, implying they earned just under £50m up until Saturday’s confrontation.
Saturday’s victory now takes their total earned in the competition to just under £70m.
Those numbers are performance-based, but UEFA issues more cash to clubs based on the broadcast ‘market pool’ theory, which sees money distributed depending on the size of their television market.
The cash pot in the Champions League is far more sweeping than the Europa League.
For instance, Manchester United only took home £8.5m from the knockout stage as they succumbed to Villarreal in the final, but claimed £23m from the Champions League despite going out at the group stage.
