PSG to earn more money from Champions League than winners Bayern Munich

PSG earned more in revenue from the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League than any other team despite finishing the competition as runners-up.

The French giants came close to winning their first ever Champions League title, but lost the final to a sharp Bayern Munich.

Despite running the German heavyweights close, Thomas Tuchel’s side lost the game by a lone goal scored by Kingsley Coman.

Swiss Ramble, however, estimated that PSG will earn more in revenue than any other club in Europe’s top five leagues.

#PSG revenue up 18% to €659m in 2019, 5th highest in world, very largely due to huge sponsorships, including QTA publicity campaign (€175-200m). Further growth in 2020 from new Nike and Accor deals. By far the highest in France on practically every metric. pic.twitter.com/7fPF602FxD

The Ligue 1 side earned a staggering amount of £121 million with Bayern pocketing £117.3 million despite winning the competition.

Barcelona (£104 million), Manchester City (£89.4 million) and Atletico Madrid (£85.8m) complete the top five earning clubs.
