While Messi earns 50 million, what Fluminense received with the Libertadores win

The 2023 Club World Cup already knows its last qualifier and after Fluminense managed to defeat Boca Juniors 2-1 in the final of the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilians got the ticket to Saudi Arabia to dream of being champions of the world at club level. A match that was played at the Maracaná Stadium, one of the temples that holds the history of football at a global level.

Germán Cano converted again in said tournament and became its top scorer with 13 goals. The Argentine fights neck and neck with Erling Haaland in terms of goals scored throughout the season. The second goal was scored by Kennedy, who will remain in the great history of Fluminense. On the other hand, Luis Advíncula was the one who had scored the partial tying goal with a shot from outside the box.

After winning the Copa Libertadores in Rio de Janeiro, what many did not know is the amount that Fluminense received for being the champion of the tournament. The truth is that this amount of money is relatively small, at least if we compare it with the salary of some footballers who are in the football elite, such as Lionel Messi himself.

How much money did Fluminense receive?

CONMEBOL gave Fluminense a check with the amount of money it received for having won the trophy and added to what it had already accumulated, the Brazilian team disbursed around 25.8 million dollars. If we compare this amount with Messi's salary, the truth is that the Argentine earns almost twice as much per year, since his salary is 50 million annually.
