Remarkably, Liverpool - along with the eight other sides who played their part in the attempted formation of the European Super League, will not have to pay any fines as punishment, despite aiming to form a breakaway league that could have scuppered the landscape of elite football on a global scale.
Originally, UEFA had intended to implement both financial punishment and potential competitive sanctions, the latter of which would only come in to play if any of the clubs involved try to relaunch the European Super League for a second time.
Of the 12 clubs involved, only Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have stood by the idea - while the remaining nine had agreed to pay a £12.8m (€15m) fine on top of handing back five per cent of revenues generated from UEFA competitions this season.
The three rebel sides have since turned their attention to the nine clubs that u-turned on the proposal, trying to entice them back into the fold by lodging a legal battle against UEFA to try and get the sanctions imposed on them overturned.
The war has waged on since the capitulation of the ESL in April, but UEFA have temporarily abandoned their action after a Madrid judge demanded European football's governing body to halt efforts to punish the rebel clubs.
While that does not represent the end of the legal saga, UEFA are now unable to demand money from clubs as a form of punishment- in turn saving Jurgen Klopp's men millions with the January transfer window edging ever closer.
Though the £12.8m fine mentioned above may not be a significant sum in the grand scheme of things, when factoring in the £1.4m. goodwill fee, the broadcasting rights, market pool and co-efficient payments that come with appearing in the Champions League group stages come to around £58m generated for Liverpool.
If the sanctions were imposed, Liverpool would have had to hand back a percentage of that to UEFA as part of their punishment - instead, it is all Liverpool's to keep and spend as they wish, providing they aren't tempted to resurrect the idea of a breakaway league.
UEFA had threatened that any side aiming to re-enter negotiations over re-forming the ESL would face a whopping €100m fine.
Should Liverpool reinvest the money saved into the squad? Comment below.
The money saved could potentially used to bolster the playing staff, given Liverpool made just one addition last summer in the form of Ibrahima Konate.
Whether there relative inactivity in the transfer market last time around had anything to do with potential financial sanctions related to the ESL is unclear, but the news that they will not have to stump up any funds will be welcomed by fans and staff alike.
