Tottenham have earned over £42.6m in Champions League prize money after beating Eintracht Frankfurt to reach the last 16 of the competition, having finished
Tottenham concluded their Champions League league phase campaign with a commanding triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday evening to secure their spot in the last-16. Second-half strikes from Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke ensured under-pressure Thomas Frank's side sidestepped a two-legged play-off encounter.
Spurs join four other Premier League clubs in finishing amongst the competition's top eight, alongside Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Sporting Clube de Portugal complete the confirmed last-16 lineup.
This campaign sees £2.14billion available in the Champions League - with the substantial sums on offer providing a significant financial uplift for Tottenham compared to their Europa League earnings.
All 36 participants collect a basic payment of £16.18million, whilst sides finishing in the top eight and advancing to the last-16 pocket an additional £9.56m.
League phase victories also deliver £1.82m apiece, with Spurs banking £9.1m from defeating Villarreal, Copenhagen, Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Draws yield £606,000 each, meaning Spurs collected over £1.2m from stalemates against Monaco and Bodo/Glimt.
Teams additionally earn £239,000 per league position. Kazakhstani minnows Kairat will claim that amount having finished rock bottom.
