How much winning the Champions League could be worth to Liverpool

Liverpool are three games away from potentially winning the Champions League.

A 3-3 draw at home to Benfica on Wednesday night was enough to see Jurgen Klopp's men earn safe passage through to the last four of the competition having won the first leg 3-1 in Portugal, and the Reds will face Spanish side Villarreal over two legs in the semi-final, with the victors facing either Manchester City or Real Madrid in a Paris showdown on May 28.

Having been absent from European football's biggest and most lucrative knockout club competition for much of the early reign of Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool have established themselves among the elite contenders once again in recent years, with their 2018 final appearance followed by victory in the competition 12 months later. The money that comes with Champions League qualification and success in the competition has been a major boon to the Reds and an increasingly vital source of revenues to help them compete.
