MANCHESTER United earned the biggest share of Champions League prize money last season with 53.2 million euros (US$76.7 million) despite losing in the final, according to figures released by competition organizer UEFA on Tuesday.
Champions League winner Barcelona earned 51 million euros because broadcast deals which weigh into calculations were worth less in Spain than England.
UEFA said it distributed 754.1 million euros among 32 clubs involved in the group stage.
Chelsea received 44.5 million euros, semifinalist Schalke made 39.75 million euros and Real Madrid's share was 39.3 million euros.
MSK Zilina from Slovakia received 7.4 million euros. A further 125 million euros was shared among national associations and clubs which played in the qualifying rounds.
UEFA distributed 150 million euros among 56 teams which played in the group and knockout stages of the Europa League.
Beaten finalist Braga earned 4.5 million euros after joining in the last-32 round, in addition to 11.8 million euros from its Champions League group.
Europa League winner FC Porto got 7.8 million euros but was not the biggest earner because Portuguese TV deals were not so lucrative.
Spain's Villarreal collected just over 9 million euros.
