Liverpool denied chance of £150m payday thanks to Man City’s Champions League exploits

Manchester City 's Champions League triumph means six-time Euro kings Liverpool will miss the proposed inaugural 32-team Club World Cup.

City have secured a place in FIFA’s new money-spinning tournament, scheduled to kick-off in the summer of 2025, after beating Inter Milan in Istanbul last week. And with prize money expected to be in the region of £150 million, the Blues would get the chance to add significantly to the staggering £294 million they have banked for winning a Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup treble.

Chelsea, European champions in 2021, and 2022 winners Real Madrid have also qualified. Manchester United, Arsenal or Newcastle could add to the Premier League contingent by lifting the Champions League next season.
