PSG and Inter Milan are set for a huge financial boost when they meet in the Champions League final this weekend.
The French and Italian giants are set to clash in Munich for the right to be crowned kings of Europe.
Inter saw off Barcelona 7-6 in one of the greatest Champions League semi-final ties of all time to reach the finale.
Davide Frattesi scored what proved to be the winner in extra time at the San Siro after a late Francesco Acerbi equaliser saved Simone Inzaghi‘s men.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain saw off Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate, with Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi scoring in the home leg to ensure that the French side made the final.
And both are set to bank a huge chunk of money.

All 36 clubs that competed in the League Phase banked €18.62m (£15.6m) for participating.

Each position in the table was worth €275,000 (£230k).
That meant the team that finished second last in 35th claimed double that at €550,000 (£461k) through to €9.9m (£8.3m) for the table-toppers.
The top eight raked in a €2m (£1.6m) bonus, with clubs that finished ninth to 16th earning €1m (£830k).
The prize money for reaching each knockout round only increases as well, with those reaching the play-offs getting £840,000.
