How much a Champions League win over Benfica would be worth to Liverpool

Liverpool have one foot in the last four of the Champions League.

The Reds, having won 3-1 at the Estádio da Luz last week, are 90 minutes away from a semi-final showdown against Villarreal, with Jurgen Klopp's men gearing themselves up for a European night under the Anfield lights this evening as they take on Portuguese side Benfica in their quarter final second leg.

Trophies, of course, trump prize money in the eyes of supporters, but for the Reds the Champions League has become an increasingly important source of revenue for the club, with their participation in the competition this season alone already bringing in close to £77m when factoring in the club's TV market pool slice from the competition and commercial revenues that are handed out among the clubs.
