Each member of Real Madrid’s Club World Cup squad will reportedly bank around a total of €280,000 ($330,000) as a reward for reaching the semifinals, although that only represents a fraction of the sum they could have earned if they had won the tournament.
From an institutional point of view, Real Madrid have been keen to support the newly expanded global jamboree. “This competition means a lot,” club president Florentino Pérez gushed ahead of the opening group game against Al Hilal.
