Beaten finalist Juventus topped the Champions League prize money table in receiving 110.4 million (US$130.4 million) from UEFA last season.
Associated Press report continues:
Leicester City edged title-winning Real Madrid for second place because the English champion banked a bigger share of broadcasting rights money.
British and Italian TV deals were more valuable and shared between fewer clubs than Spain's five.
Leicester got almost €81.7 million (US$96.5 million) from UEFA and Madrid earned just over €81 million (US$95.7 million).
Of 32 group-stage teams, Basel's €16.3 million (US$19.3 million) was the lowest share of almost €1.4 billion (US$1.65 billion) in the UEFA prize fund.

Europa League winner Manchester United topped the second-tier competition's money table with €44.5 million (US$52.6 million) - more than double any other club.
