How much money will Real Madrid earn if they win the Club World Cup

The Club World Cup has already started with a goalless draw between Al-Ahly and Inter Miami. Hostilities have thus begun to determine the first champion in this new tournament. Real Madrid wants to be the one to lift the trophy on July 13, the date of the final.

Next Wednesday, June 18, Real Madrid will make its debut facing Al-Hilal. It will be the first match that should lead the Whites to become Club World Cup champions. This way, it will take home a trophy but also an important prize.
