£110m windfall awaits Champions League winners

Manchester United or Barcelona will cash in to the tune of £110m (€127m) if they triumph in tomorrow’s Champions League final, according to a new financial study.

The victors’ record windfall will be a combination of official prize money, a boost for the club’s brand, enhanced media rights and an increase in the value of the squad according to the study commissioned by MasterCard. The losers will also benefit to the tune of an estimated £63m (€73m).
