Liverpool's big financial hit from Champions League failure as Chelsea earn more

Liverpool's Champions League earnings from this season were reported £27million down on their successful 2018/19 campaign. The Premier League champions were knocked out of Europe at the last-16 stage. Atletico Madrid earned a 4-2 aggregate success just before coronavirus lockdown. The defeat came in stark contrast to Liverpool's victory over Tottenham Hotspur in Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano stadium back in June 2019. Liverpool's run to the final and subsequent success was worth around £98million to the club according to the renowned football finance blog Swiss Ramble. However, the same source now puts the Reds' 2019/20 earnings at around £71million, with Tottenham also losing out on around £29million as they also lost in the last-16. Source: The Mirror
