Unlike their bitter rivals FC Barcelona, Real Madrid seemingly do not need to cut their players' salaries amid the coronavirus crisis. Here are the Madrid giants' top earners, with Gareth Bale still in second place!
Click through the gallery above to see who the 10 highest-paid Real stars are, and what they earn weekly, according to Total Sportek.
Marca has reported that Real's players do not need to commit to any temporary pay cuts in line with Spain's temporary redundancy scheme (ERTE) due to the club's healthy financial situation.
Los Blancos' staff wages do not make up more than 50% of the club's overall budget, while Barcelona spend up to 80% of their budget on salaries.
As a consequence, Real's stars can continue to earn their lofty wages, while Barca's stars have agreed to accept a 70% pay cut and also cover the salaries of the rest of the club's employees.

Bale is still Real's second-highest earner, receiving £350 000 (R7.8 million) per week despite falling down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane– you can see the complete top 10 in the gallery above!
