Premier League champions Manchester City received a major financial boost with the confirmation of their UEFA prize money for winning the Champions League last season.
The victory in the Champions League final in Istanbul not only secured the coveted trophy but also completed a historic Treble for the team.
The team’s success has resulted in a staggering sum of €134.9 million in prize money from UEFA, as per the published figures for the 2022/23 Champions League prize money.
This sum is the highest among the British clubs that participated in the Champions League last season, with Liverpool receiving €84.3 million and Tottenham Hotspur receiving €65.7 million.
Manchester City dominated the group stage last year, winning all six matches and securing a place in the last-16 of the tournament.
As they prepare for the first-leg of a meeting with FC Copenhagen, the team is focused on continuing their success in the ongoing UEFA Champions League season.
The upcoming match will be a significant test as FC Copenhagen progressed to the knock-out stages despite competition from strong teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Galatasaray.
The confirmation of the prize money from UEFA serves as recognition of Manchester City’s achievements in the Champions League and rewards the team for their outstanding performance.
The financial boost not only reflects the team’s success on the field but also contributes to their continued growth and development.
The UEFA prize money further cements Manchester City’s position as a top contender in European football and provides resources that will support the team’s ambitions for future success.
With the financial backing from their Champions League triumph, Manchester City is poised to maintain their strong performance in both domestic and international competitions, solidifying their status as one of the leading football clubs in the world.
