Champions League prize money: How much will PSG, Inter Milan win after the final?
Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will clash on Saturday for the UEFA Champions League, the ultimate European trophy of the season.
While Inter will be looking to bring the trophy back to San Siro after 15 years, PSG is looking to win the honour for the first time. The UEFA Champions League is the epitome of European soccer, and its final is also the culmination of the soccer season on the continent.
Apart from the obvious bragging rights and the shiny trophy stamping continental legacy, both Inter Milan and PSG are fighting for a record prize money in Munich, Germany.
The winner of the UEFA Champions League final could bag a total prize money of almost €150 million ($170.2 million). Last season's champions Real Madrid cashed €138.8 million
The bump this year is due to the new competition format and distribution key. In comparison.
According to a report by Deutsche Presse-Agentur, the winner of the match between Inter Milan and PSG will receive €10.5 million. €4 million out of that amount is considered a participation bonus in the UEFA Supercup, which will pit the Champions League winners against Europa League winners Tottenham.
The report added that both teams have received more than €135 million so far this season, including a €18.6 million bonus for participating in the league phase.
Inter finished the league phase in fourth place, compared to PSG's 15th-place finish. Thus, the Serie A runners-up for the season have bagged more money than the French champions.
For the successful knock-out round, the teams received some €57 million in bonuses.
In addition, broadcasting deals bring in a big chunk of money for the teams. In that bracket, PSG received a larger share than Inter. It was because the French broadcasters pay more than their Italian counterparts.

Explained: How China's Rare Earth Magnet Export Curbs Could Hit India's Bajaj Auto, TVS Motor
Last Updated: China's rare earth magnet export curbs: After Bajaj Auto's warning, TVS Motor fears production hurdles and price hikes China's Rare Earth Magnet Export Curbs: India's two-wheeler electronic vehicle EV is gearing up for a new supply chain turbulence, with TVS Motor Company too raising a red flag over China's curb on export of rare earth magnets, just days after Bajaj Auto expressed production concerns. China's Rare Earth Magnet Curb – What Does It Mean? With new Chinese export rules delaying shipments, manufacturers are warning of significant disruptions to vehicle production if supplies aren't restored soon. At the center of the problem is a crucial component: neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. These rare earth magnets are indispensable to both electric and conventional vehicles, used in systems ranging from motors and steering to brakes, wipers, and audio equipment. Without them, even a small shortage can bring assembly lines to a crawl. What Changed? The bottleneck began in April, when China — which processes more than 90% of the world's rare earth magnets — introduced stricter export controls. Under the new rules, exporters must obtain government licenses and detailed end-use certificates from buyers before shipping. While pitched as procedural updates, the result has been a slowdown in clearances. According to The Economic Times, several Indian-bound consignments are stuck at Chinese ports with no movement in sight. Unlike some European companies, Indian firms have not yet received export approvals, deepening concerns about when production may start to feel the strain. Current inventory levels, industry executives say, could run out by early June. India imported 460 tons of rare earth magnets in FY24 — virtually all from China — and planned to import 700 tons this year. Their relatively low value belies their critical function. No viable alternatives exist at scale today, which leaves Indian production lines exposed. To reduce long-term dependency, India is advancing plans for domestic production. A high-level meeting is reportedly scheduled for June 3, where the Ministry of Heavy Industries will finalize a support framework for magnet manufacturing, including incentives and infrastructure. What Are The Auto Giants Saying? 'The impact of the ban will begin to reflect in production by June or July," Sudarshan Venu, MD, TVS Motor said during an interaction with CNBC-TV18 on June 2, warning that the electric two-wheeler segment could be especially exposed. Rare earth magnets, largely sourced from China, are vital to EV motors' performance, and any supply disruption could derail production schedules. In the near to medium term, this could lead to output halts and even potential price hikes, said Venu, as companies race to secure alternative sources. 'We're actively exploring ways to de-risk the situation, but there could be cost increases down the line," the managing director of TVS Motor said. The company has again underscored the urgent need for India to localise its EV supply chain. 'The auto industry must build a robust domestic ecosystem for such critical materials. Developing a self-reliant supply chain is a necessity," Venu said. According to the protocol, Indian importers – in this case, TVS Motor vendors – must self-declare the end use of the magnets, which are then cleared through a multi-step certification process involving Indian authorities and the Chinese Embassy. So far, about 30 such applications have cleared the Indian stages and await final clearance from China. With China supplying nearly 90% of the world's rare earth magnets, sourcing immediate alternatives is proving to be a significant challenge. Substitutes would require extensive investment in testing, validation, and integration — a process that would only bear fruit in the medium term. Last week, Bajaj Auto warned of the looming crisis during its Q4FY25 earnings call, describing it as a 'dark cloud on the horizon" and cautioning about production risks as early as next month if the issue isn't resolved. Although a formal process is now in place to certify that these materials won't be diverted for military use, the fate of shipments from China remains uncertain.

Gold investment demand surges 170% in March 2025 quarter, driven by ETF inflows and Central Bank buying
Gold markets witnessed a historic uptrend in the March quarter of 2025, with investment demand skyrocketing by 170 percent year-on-year, according to the May Alpha Strategist Report released by Motilal Oswal Private Wealth. The surge was largely propelled by a revival in exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows amid global economic instability, mounting geopolitical tensions, and the weakening US dollar. Despite only a marginal increase in supply, the value of the gold market soared, reinforcing its safe-haven status. Motilal Oswal Private Wealth highlighted that gold investment demand in the March quarter surged to 552 tonnes, marking a remarkable 170 percent jump compared to the same quarter last year. This spike nearly matched the post-Russia-Ukraine war demand seen in March 2022 quarter. The surge was underpinned by strong ETF inflows globally, with holdings expanding by 226 tonnes in the quarter. European-listed funds added 55 tonnes, bolstered by expectations of further rate cuts from the European Central Bank. Meanwhile, Asian-listed ETFs added 34 tonnes, with a significant portion coming from China due to rising US-China trade tensions. India also posted robust ETF demand, recording an 11 percent increase in holdings. The report from Motilal Oswal Private Wealth also underscored that geopolitical uncertainty, stock market volatility, and ongoing tariff wars played a key role in pushing gold prices to record levels. Domestically, India's spot gold price surged 23 percent year-to-date to ₹ 93,217 per 10 grams. Globally, the total gold supply stood at 1,206 tonnes in Q1 2025, up by 1 percent year-on-year — the highest level for a first quarter since 2016. While supply rose modestly, the value of the gold market climbed an impressive 40 percent YoY, reflecting the sharp price increase. Furthermore, Central bank gold purchases remained resilient in March 2025 quarter, as per Motilal Oswal Private Wealth. Total official sector purchases stood at 244 tonnes — 24 percent above the five-year quarterly average, although slightly lower than the preceding quarter. Emerging market central banks led the buying spree, continuing their reserve diversification strategies and reducing exposure to US dollar assets. The persistent uncertainty across global markets reinforced gold's appeal as a reserve asset. As per the report, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) added 0.6 tonnes of gold in March 2025, bringing its total holdings to 879.6 tonnes — accounting for 11.7 percent of its total forex reserves. Over the past year, the RBI has increased its gold reserves by 57.5 tonnes. However, recent purchases have moderated, suggesting a more cautious and strategic approach despite gold's growing role in India's monetary reserve portfolio. Amid record prices, it also noted a significant contraction in global jewelry demand, particularly in India. Jewelry consumption in the country fell 25 percent YoY to 71 tonnes in March 2025 quarter, the lowest quarterly volume since Q3 2020. Still, the value of Indian jewelry demand rose 3 percent YoY, owing to higher gold prices. Consumers adapted by purchasing lighter pieces or exchanging old jewelry for new, with 40–45 percent of transactions involving some form of exchange. The popularity of gold-backed loans also continued to rise. While wedding-related purchases remained relatively stable, they failed to offset the decline in discretionary buying. Although high prices weighed heavily on jewelry consumption, especially in India, gold remained a core component of strategic reserves and investment portfolios. With geopolitical tensions, market volatility, and interest rate expectations continuing to influence investor sentiment, gold's status as a resilient hedge appears stronger than ever.
