Bayern's 3-0 win at Lyon on Tuesday gave them a 4-0 semi-final win on aggregate and means they will receive at least 25.4 million euros from European football's governing body UEFA.

That figure includes 5.2 million euros for reaching the final.

Louis van Gaal-coached Munich will also receive at least 20 million euros for their share of the television rights as around 9.42 million Germans watched Tuesday's game.

Bayern's bosses have said each player will make a bonus of a month and a half's salary is they win the Champions League final against either Barcelona or Inter Milan in Madrid on May 22.

Bayern are the current Bundesliga leaders and face Werder Bremen in the German Cup final on May 15 at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
