New figures have shown that Manchester City were the second-highest earners in Europe last season, sitting second behind Liverpool in the overall rankings.
City earned £151m from TV revenue last season, banking on their Premier League success, and finished second in the rankings - only £1m behind the Reds, who benefited from their Champions League victory.
The two sides, who battled toe-to-toe for Premier League glory last term, where the only clubs in Europe to break the £150m, with the rest of the top-six finishes above the £140m mark.
City earned significantly more than their European counterparts, including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom won their respective divisions last term.
In comparison, Barcelona scooped themselves £130m, Bayern £87.6m and Juventus, despite having the pulling power of Cristiano Ronaldo, pocketed themselves just £76.5m.
Even more remarkably, Bayern and Juventus, who boast some of the greatest players in the world, earned less in TV money than the Premier League’s three relegated clubs, Cardiff City, Fulham and Huddersfield Town.
Between the three of them, Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield bagged a combined total of £301.2m in TV money.
So with that in mind, Bayern earned £9m less than Huddersfield, who were relegated from the Premier League after winning just three times all season, even though they won a seventh consecutive Bundesliga title and reached the last-16 of the Champions League.
