Liverpool revenue hit hard after early Champions League exit | OneFootball

Liverpool's early exit from the Champions League this season hit their earnings in a major way.

The Premier League champions were knocked out of Europe at the last-16 stage as Atletico Madrid earned a 4-2 aggregate success.

The Swiss Ramble reports last season as well as the glory of lifting the trophy, Liverpool's run to the final and subsequent success was worth around £98million to the club.

However, the same source now puts the Reds' 2019/20 earnings at around £71million, with Tottenham also losing out on around £29million as they also lost in the last-16.

Manchester City will be the English team that earns the most money from this season's Champions League as they prepare to face Lyon in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Their total - which is made up of TV revenue, participation in the competition and prize money for progression, and again determined by coefficient - currently stands at around £88million.
