Report outlines some of the financial gains Liverpool are making this season | OneFootball

The financial benefits of Liverpool’s latest Champions League participation have been outlined by the Liverpool Echo with the Reds already earning over £20m from this season’s competition.

The 18/19 Champions League winners currently sit top of their group with nine points from the first four games, with the first loss coming on Wednesday night against Italian side Atalanta.

The three wins prior have the Reds on course to progress, though, and they’ve also brought in some significant cash along the way.

£20.7m has been earned from the three wins and defeat in terms of prize money with £13.5m coming from group stage participation and a further £2.4m for every victory.

Then, providing the Reds seal progression to the knockout stages in the coming weeks, another £8.6m will be received alongside any further payments for the results in the final two group games.

ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Champions League participation is always lucrative business and the value of it has been seen over recent years with the strides the Reds have made back to the summit of domestic and European football.

With nine points from the opening four games and a point just needed against Ajax next time out, the hope too will be that the Reds are going to again go deep in the competition and continue to boost themselves financially, as well as obviously competing for the title.
