Liverpool and Manchester City in line for record prize money if they win Champions League

Liverpool and Manchester City stand to make record amounts of prize money should they go on to win this season’s Champions League, with the semi-finalists assured of at least €100m (£84.4m) if they progress to next month’s showpiece in Paris.

The Premier League ’s top two face Villarreal and Real Madrid respectively in the first legs of their last four ties this week. And they have already banked close to €90m (£75.9m) from a campaign that will last a maximum of 13 games.

According to a breakdown of prize money from football-coefficient, Jurgen Klopp’s side have made €89.1m to date with Pep Guardiola’s side earning €88.8m (£74.8m). Chelsea, who were knocked out in dramatic fashion by Real a fortnight ago, made €81.8m (£69m). Both finalists will receive €15.5m (£13.1m) with the champions getting an additional €4.5m (£3.8m).

The prize money is calculated on the basis of past performance and results during the current campaign.

All 32 clubs to qualify for the group stages received a base payment of €15.6m (£13.1m) after earning a bonus payment based on their coefficient

Group stage wins were worth an additional €2.8m (£2.4m) with draws earning clubs €930,000 (£784,000).

Reaching the round of 16 earned an additional €9.6m (£8.1m)

Quarter-finalists made €10.6m (£9m)

Making the last four is worth €12.5m (£10.5m)

And the finalists get €15.5m (£13.1m) with €4.5m (£3.8m) for the champions

Both sides will also receive an as yet unspecified share of UEFA’s market pool, effectively a €300m (£253m) pot of broadcasting money, with City entitled to a marginally larger slice on account of being last season’s Premier League winners.

City made €103.3m (£87.1m) by reaching last season’s final only to lose 1-0 to Thomas Tuchel’s team
