  • The Sporting Performance Pillar disbursed stage-by-stage bonuses, awarding $2 million per group win up to $21 million for a semifinal berth and culminating in a $40 million champion bonus.

  • Paris Saint-Germain matched Chelsea’s $85.625 million in Sporting Performance earnings and can reach the same $125 million cap once their participation fee is confirmed.
