Arsenal's strong performance in the Champions League, including a 2-1 victory over Girona, has earned them over £75 million in prize money so far.
Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory over Girona on Wednesday (January 29th), extending their impressive run in the Champions League to six wins and one draw from eight matches. This success comes on the heels of a format change implemented by UEFA this season, which has the potential to generate an extra £23 million for top clubs like Arsenal .
While the Gunners won't return to European action until early March, with the knockout round play-offs scheduled for mid-February, they are already reaping the financial rewards of their strong performance. Under UEFA's new value pillar system, clubs are awarded £1.8 million for each win and £583,000 for a draw in the league phase. Arsenal's impressive record in this stage has already earned them approximately £11.4 million. In addition to their league phase earnings, Arsenal have received £9.2 million for qualifying automatically for the last 16 and £1.7 million for finishing in the top eight. The club's third-place finish in their group has also secured them a further £7.8 million based on the individual ranking system implemented by UEFA for the 36 participating clubs. This significant financial injection, which pushes Arsenal's total prize money to around £75 million, will undoubtedly bolster the club's resources as they strive for continued success both on and off the field. Despite their strong performance in the Champions League, Arsenal have yet to make any new signings during the January transfer window. This comes despite recent injuries to several key players, raising questions about their strategy in the upcoming months. Arteta's side, currently sitting second in the Premier League table behind Liverpool, will be hoping to navigate their remaining fixtures with their current squad and continue their impressive momentum in the league
