As noted by CBS Sport, Inter Milan will take on Manchester City in the final of UEFA’s tournament on Saturday, June 10.

City contested the final once, while Milan have won the competition thrice, the last time in 2010. Al Ahly and Wydad Casablanca are contesting the CAF equivalent over two legs. The Egyptian side won the first leg of the final 2-1. Casablanca are the defending champions.

Despite both competitions being continental tournaments, there is a big difference in prize money on offer. Goal reports that Milan or City will earn €20 million for winning the UEFA Champions League.

Al Ahly or Wydad will only win just under €4 million, CAF Online noted.
