New figures show Cardiff City raked in more TV money than European giants Bayern Munich, Juventus, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain last season.
The Bluebirds, who were relegated from the Premier League last term, earned themselves a whopping £102.7m through TV money.
Respected financial blog Swiss Ramble have conducted research into how the TV money between top Premier League clubs compares with their European counterparts.
And, remarkably, figures show that Bayern, Juventus and PSG, who boast some of the greatest players in the world, earned less in broadcast revenue than all three of the Premier League’s three relegated clubs, Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield Town.
In fact, only Barcelona (£130m) and Real Madrid (£125m) earned more than the Bluebirds outside of the Premier League.
In comparison, Bayern scooped themselves £87.6m, PSG and Juventus, despite having the pulling power of Cristiano Ronaldo, pocketed themselves just £76.5m.
Between the three of them, Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield bagged a combined total of £301.2m in TV money.
Cardiff came 18th in the Premier League rankings, with Liverpool (£152m) narrowly pipping Manchester City (£151m) at the top of the earnings.Only Fulham (£102m) and Huddersfield (£97m) earned less than the Welsh capital club.
