For Liverpool, the Champions League has been an enormous source of revenue in recent years.
When the Reds won European football's elite club competition in 2019, their run to the final and subsequent lifting of the famous trophy they raked in £113m for their efforts, something that was a major factor in the club posting record revenues of £533m for the 2018/19 accounting period.
Last year's struggles in the league had created some concern that the Reds, Premier League winners in 2020, wouldn't even make the top four following a wretched January.
