Arsenal’s Champions League run could deliver more than just silverware this season — it may also come with a massive financial boost.
According to londonworld.com, the Gunners stand to earn a staggering £68.8 million if they eliminate Spanish giants Real Madrid next Wednesday and secure a place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Mikel Arteta’s men gave their campaign a powerful push on Tuesday night with a commanding 3-0 win in the first leg of their quarterfinal clash at the Emirates Stadium. Declan Rice delivered two exquisite free-kicks to put Arsenal ahead before Mikel Merino struck a third goal, capping off a dream night in North London.
Should Arsenal hold their nerve in Madrid, they’ll not only move one step closer to European glory but also significantly boost their earnings from the competition.
Awaiting in the semi-finals will be either Paris Saint-Germain or Aston Villa, with PSG currently leading 3-1 after their first-leg triumph at Parc des Princes.
