Liverpool’s earnings from their run to the Champions League final in Kiev last season were a mammoth €81.3million.

And the Reds are now just two games away from eclipsing that huge figure - with only Barcelona standing in their way of another final, this time in Madrid.

Champions League football is worth more to Europe's elite clubs than ever before.

A new three-year agreement that kicked in for 2018/19 is far more lucrative than the previous deal covering the seasons 2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18.

Liverpool have already earned more than €23million for their group stage performance – €15.25million for qualifying, and €8.1million for their three wins.

Getting past Bayern Munich in the round of 16 brought them an additional €9.5million, while just showing up against Porto has guaranteed a further €10.5million.

This works out at approximately €43million earned in starting fees and fixed amount prize money alone thus far.

Liverpool are now guaranteed a further €12million just for contesting the semi final against Barcelona.

Liverpool will also book an indeterminate amount of Champions League revenues through a further two streams.

One is the coefficient ranking, where the 32 teams that reach the group stage onwards are ranked according to historical performances in European competition over a 10-year period.

The other is the market pool, distributed in accordance with the proportional value of each TV market.

The co-efficient ranking system – where each place in the ranking is worth €1.108million, meaning the highest ranked team will bank €35.46million – is a new addition to the Champions League, revealed by UEFA in June last year.

Not only would further Champions League progress bring glory on the field, but be another welcome boost away from it, too.
