Two European heavyweights go head to head to tonight in the richest game in sport, PSG and Real Madrid, Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo.

The two clubs are no doubt amongst Europe's elite in terms of players but when it comes to finances these two are in a league of their own.

The two clubs combined spend a staggering £287 (€391)million on wages every year making them not only the highest spenders in football but in the entire world.

Qatari owned PSG lead the way spending a frightening £147.1 million on wages every year, meaning the average wage at the Paris club is a handy £113,000 a week.

Famous big spenders Real Madrid are close behind spending £140 million per year, an average wage of £107,00.
