UCL: How Much Manchester City and Arsenal Earned After Quarter Final Elimination

• Arsenal and Manchester City were eliminated from the UCL on the same night
• The Gunners lost to Bayern Munich, while City were beaten by Real Madrid
• Both clubs will miss out on more prize money but made significant before exiting

Manchester City and Arsenal were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League on the same night, but both English clubs made significant fortunes in prize money.

Arsenal were beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Bayern Munich, while the champions were ousted by European giants Real Madrid on penalties after a gruelling 120 minutes.

City's elimination means Madrid are the only team to have defended their title in over two decades when they won three consecutive trophies between 2016 and 2018 under Zinedine Zidane.

The Citizens and the Gunners will now turn their attention to the Premier League title race, in which Pep Guardiola's side holds the advantage over their rivals and Liverpool.

Man City and Arsenal's UCL earnings

Per Mirror UK, last season's champions City will receive a total prize of £75 million, while Arsenal earned £63.8mil. Manchester United £41.4mil and Newcastle United £21.5mil are the rest of the teams.

The two teams could have earned a further £28mil had they reached the final or even won the entire competition.

According to Transfermarkt, it was Mikel Arteta's team's first appearance in the tournament since the 2016/17 season, when the manager was still wearing the club's red shirt.

On the other hand, City have featured in every season since their first appearance in the 2011/12 season under Roberto Mancini and won their first-ever title last year.

Both sides are in action later today. City take on Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, while Arsenal travels to the Molineux Stadium to play Wolverhampton Wanderers.
