"They may not have lifted a trophy last season, but Arsenal were the biggest financial winners when it came to participating in the Champions League last season. Mikel Arteta's side made it to the semi-finals before joining Liverpool and Aston Villa in falling to eventual winners PSG. That run earned Arsenal an absolutely whopping sum of prize money, as a new report published by UEFA this week has confirmed."
"The UEFA Financial Report 2024/25 breaks down the prize money paid to the clubs who took part in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference league last season. Champions League winners PSG took home 144.4m (125.9m) for winning the tournament, while beaten finalists Inter got 136.6m (119m), leaving Arsenal as the highest-earning Premier League side with 117m (102m).

Liverpool's 98.1m (85.m) prize money beats out Villa's 83.7m (73m) thanks to the a combination of the Reds' superior coefficient and the fact that Arne Slot's side finished top of the league phase while Villa finished 8th."
