English teams continue to dominate the Champions League in financial terms, according to new Uefa figures.
Despite not progressing beyond the quarter-finals of last year’s competition, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool earned a combined total of 140m euros (£114.6m) from television and prize money alone.
That figure reflects the high value of the new ITV and Sky broadcasting deals for the competition and is comfortably higher that the 116m euros (£95m) earned by the four Italian teams, including winners Inter Milan, and the 105m euros (£86m) by the four Spanish teams in the tournament.
Inter was the top individual earner with 48.7m euros (£39.8m) followed by Manchester United with 45.8m euros (£37.4m). Arsenal, which also made the quarter-finals, earned £27.3m with Chelsea making £26.3m and Liverpool £23.6m.
The figures reflect a 25 per cent increase in the value of the broadcast deals being paid by ITV and Sky for the television rights for the 2009-12 period.
