Real Madrid's financial windfall: Calculating the Champions League victory bonanza
This article outlines an approximation of how much Real Madrid could get from their 15th Champions League triumph.
1. Jadon Sancho

Despite his failings on the biggest stage, he still looks a different player from the one who left Manchester United in January.
2. Ian Maatsen
The man on loan from Chelsea struggled early when pressed by Fede Valverde, but linked and moved well as Dortmund cut through Madrid in the first half, including a sublime pass for Niclas Fullkrug.

However, he switched off at the corner to lose Dani Carvajal for the opener and made a dreadful pass which led to Vinicius Jr making it 2-0 to finish the contest. Feels a harsh rating,
In the end, his mistakes decided the game in favour of Los Blancos.
