Tottenham's 2019/20 Champions League prize money revealed as Daniel Levy faces big revenue drop

Tottenham fans will be looking on with envious eyes this week as the Champions League quarter-finals get underway.

Reaching the final of Europe's top competition at the start of last June following a miraculous run to set up a showdown against Liverpool, the Lilywhites unfortunately crashed out at the Round of 16 this year.

Drawn against Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, injury-hit Spurs lost 4-0 on aggregate as the Germans progressed through to the final eight rather easily.

Following the completion of the Round of 16 last week, football business experts Swiss Ramble have now produced a breakdown of how much clubs have made from participating in the competition so far.

Making a whopping £90million last year following their run to the final, Spurs made £61m this time around after only advancing to the first round of the knockout phase.

It means a big decrease of £29m in earnings from the 2018/19 season in the Champions League.

With all clubs earning a basic €15.3m just for participating in the competition, money differs when it comes to prize money for their results, UEFA coefficient and TV pool.

As Spurs had a rather mixed time in the group before losing both of their games in the Round of 16, they only earned €19.3m in prize money compared to Man City's €33.7m, Liverpool's €22.3m and Chelsea's €20.2m.

It was once again the same in terms of their UEFA coefficient as the aforementioned clubs all brought in more than Tottenham's €23.3m.

The TV pool was also considerably lower for the Lilywhites as they were given €11.5m, with Man City recording the highest out of the English clubs at €23.8m.

As expected, Man City (£88m) have earned the most amount of money from the competition after progressing through to the quarter-finals where they take on Lyon.

Chelsea (£72m) are just ahead of Liverpool (£71m), with Spurs coming last out of the four clubs with a total of £61m.

Tottenham will not be taking part in the Champions League for a fifth year on the trot next season and will instead be in the Europa League after finishing outside the top four in the Premier League.
