Power of the Premier League: English clubs dominate Europe with the lion’s share of UEFA prize money... they split a whopping £414m last year and Liverpool will bank £106m if they beat Real Madrid in Champions League final

For a golden period in the 1970s and 80s, English football ruled the roost in Europe.

And since claiming seven out of 10 European Cups through the triumphs of Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Aston Villa, England has strived to restore those continental bragging rights.

Now, the country can finally step into a new era of supremacy, say analysts, as the Premier League hammers home its financial advantage, which was enhanced during the Covid pandemic.

Three English clubs were in two European finals last season, including Man City and Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League, while Manchester United took on Villareal in the Europa League

Unsurprisingly, the two Champions League finalists earned the most with winners #CFC and #runners-up MCFC receiving £105m and £104m respectively, followed by #RealMadrid and #PSG, both £96m, then #FCBayern £81m and #LFC £77m.
