Sh267 million each! Real Madrid stars strike jackpot

Real Madrid’s victorious Champions League squad are expected to share the biggest bonus in football history after completing the European and domestic double for the first time in 59 years.

The players are believed to be receiving £2million (Sh267m) each for their achievements this season.

The bonus structure is done differently in Madrid, with the amount handed out being the personal decision of club president Florentino Perez rather than written into players’ contracts, as is done in the Premier League.

Perez, in his fourth presidential term and best known for ushering in Real Madrid’s pursuit of Galacticos including David Beckham, is expected to be more generous than ever following his club’s best season since 1958.

The partying Real Madrid players left Cardiff, Wales, the venue where they dismantled a Juventus side famed for its immovable defence.

Led by Captain Sergio Ramos, the players divided into two parts, some chanting, revelling and joking in one section while others were reflecting in calm.

Ramos, leader of the team on the pitch, also took charge of the incredible atmosphere.

Incombustible, he started off with a little flamenco to cheer everyone because there’s no one better to understand the sacrifices one has to make to win a Champions League.

With the permission of Ramos, the cup was the great star of the trip.

The trophy won in Cardiff was pictured with everyone single person on the plane.

Real Madrid have already made history by becoming the first team to win back-to-back Champions Leagues with some hailing Zinedine Zidane’s side as the best of all time.

In his 17 months on the bench at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Zidane has seen Real lift two Champions Leagues, a LaLiga, a UEFA Super Cup and a Club World Cup.
