The best paid players in the Champions League have been revealed

The 10 best paid players in the Champions League has been revealed, and the list is dominated by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain stars.

The list, released by France Football magazine, is made up of players who are still in the competition at the quarter-final stage, devoid of any Premier League players and is topped, unsurprisingly, by Lionel Messi. Wayne Rooney was reportedly the ninth highest earner in the Champions League, but as Manchester United were knocked out in the group stages, he doesn't make this list. His former United teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel di Maria, do however, as does former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, while PSG captain Thiago Silva is the only defender included. 1.
