REAL MADRID players will be given a bonus TEN TIMES bigger than Liverpool for winning the Champions League, according to reports.
Reds players are set to net £200,000 each if they lift the famous trophy in Kiev… but their La Liga counterparts will see £2million added to their bank balance.
The Daily Mail also report that certain players will also earn more as they will have certain performance-based bonuses written into their contracts.
Two seasons ago, Ronaldo famously donated his €600,000 (£450,000 at the time) Champions League win bonus to charity.
Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo has signed a new contract since then and would likely have an increased figure on his bonus.
Both Liverpool and Real Madrid – hoping to make it a fourth Euro triumph in five seasons – are set to net around £70million from their runs to the final in Kiev.
Los Blancos are odds-on favourites to lift the trophy on May 26.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, a beaten finalist while in charge of Borussia Dortmund in 2013, said he is desperate to finally land some silverware at Anfield.
“We were in League Cup final, we didn’t win it,” he said after progressing past Roma in midweek.
“People don’t tell me in the street since then: ‘Thank you for bringing us to the final.’
“We were in Europa League final, nobody tells me that. I see no trophies after these games.
