The 2021/2022 UEFA Champions League campaign remains one of the most uncertain and interesting, and it’s so saddening that it will come to an end on Saturday when English giants Liverpool and Spanish giants Real Madrid meet in Paris.
The match will be the third time the two sides have met in a European Cup final, with Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool not coming out on top the last time.
Meanwhile, as exciting as the final is for the fans, the competition’s prize money is undeniably important to the clubs.

As revealed by UEFA, the finalists of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League will each pocket a huge sum of $17.5million for reaching the final.
More so, the team that emerges victorious at Stade de France on Saturday will receive an extra $5.1million (making it a total of $22.69million) for qualifying for the UEFA Super Cup which is a one-off final that pits the UEFA Champions League winners against the UEFA Europa League winners.
