On Wednesday evening, FC Bayern will start the new Champions League season against Inter in San Siro. The German record champions can look forward to hefty income even before the start of the premier class. Before the first whistle of the season, Bayern are already sure of 52.024 million euros.

The money is made up of the appearance bonus, which is distributed by UEFA for all 32 participants. All clubs will receive a guaranteed €15.64 million in entry fee. There are also bonuses for every point or every win in the current competition.

Regardless of the sporting performance, the European Football Association distributes further guaranteed income. FC Bayern gets the most money from the so-called coefficient pool because it is linked to the UEFA club ranking. Similar to the five-year ranking of the leagues, the clubs and their performance in Europe over the last five years are also evaluated and listed.

Bayern are in first place ahead of Liverpool, Manchester City and defending champions Real Madrid. Accordingly, that means 36.284 million euros that go to the Munich account. For comparison: Maccabi Haifa, ranked 169th as the worst team of all this year's Champions League participants in the UEFA ranking, only gets 1.137 million euros guaranteed from the coefficient pool. As a result, FCB conceded 32 times as the best-placed team, Haifa as 32nd in the CL ranking only a fraction.

With this income, the end of the road is of course far from being reached. There is also money from the national market pool, which also includes TV money. And with the high goals of Bayern in the premier class, there should also be many bonuses for success.
