The 50m euros is comprised of 14m euros in participation and prize money, 12m euros from UEFA's commercial deals, 8m euros from the club's own sponsors and merchandise sales, and 6m euros from increased player values according to Simon Chadwick, professor of sports business strategy at Coventry University, who conducted the research.
