Manchester City crashed out of the Champions League after a penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid, but they can still expect a significant financial windfall.
Despite exiting in the quarterfinals, City are guaranteed at least £76 million from UEFA’s prize money and coefficient payments. This includes:
* Reaching the quarterfinals: £48 million
* Performance in the group stage: £14 million
* UEFA coefficient ranking (estimated): £28 million
Additional money from TV broadcasts could push the total closer to £100 million. While missing out on potential Champions League glory stings, the financial consolation prize helps soften the blow.
