Successes and revenues in the Champions League are particularly important in this respect.
The TV revenues enable the high premium payments from UEFA.
Last season, Bayern had won over 130 million euros in Europe's premier football class as the title winners.
At that time, the three home games in the group stage in the Allianz Arena could still be played in front of full stands.
