Market pool part 2, amounting to 150.15 million euros (50%), is based on the games played in the current Champions League season.
Pillar 4: The UEFA coefficient rankings will be used to award an additional bonus of €600.6 million to participating clubs. This reward is awarded proportionally based on position on the leaderboard.
