Liverpool and FSG set for £85m Champions League boost

Liverpool's run in this season's Champions League has accrued the joint highest prize money, with the Reds set to take their earnings past £85m for this season should they defeat Benfica in the quarter finals.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds have been in sublime for this season both at home and abroad and remain on course for an unprecedented quadruple after reaching the last eight of the Champions League, closing the gap to Manchester City in the Premier League to one point, winning the Carabao Cup and reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It is success that has delivered them tens of millions of pounds worth of prize money into the club coffers.

The Champions League is the most lucrative of them all and the Reds have amassed the joint highest prize money in the competition, level with Bayern Munich, with their record of six wins from six games in the group stage, and their progression to the last eight delivering £31.9m (€38.3m) in prize money so far. That is a figure that doesn't take into account the other revenue streams that arise from Champions League football that make participation in it so vital to Europe's biggest clubs.
