Arsenal’s progression to the Champions League final on Tuesday night had significant financial implications, as the Gunners are set to receive an additional €18.5m for reaching the showpiece event.

That brings the club to €143.5m (£124m) for the season so far, not including the ticket sales and commercial deals associated with being in the competition.

The Gunners could earn another €6.5m for winning the competition, which would bring their prize money total to €150m (£129.6m). Arsenal would also then earn an extra ~£3.5m for qualifying for the UEFA Super Cup.

The money Arsenal have already earned by reaching the final is a huge amount, more than in any of their previous campaigns in Europe, and more than Paris Saint-Germain received for winning the competition last season.
