Arsenal look set to bank a sizeable £10.5million bonus following their record-breaking Champions League last 16 win over PSV in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
It was also the largest ever win from an away side in the knockout stages.
An eye-watering £2.06billion prize money is up for grabs in this season's Champions League and the Gunners are well on their way to another substantial payday as the gear up for a potential quarter-final clash against Real Madrid or Atletico.
Any club that qualifies for the quarter-finals will receive a guaranteed sum of £10.5m, that's before potential broadcasting bonuses are taken into consideration, and Arsenal have already claimed an estimated £73.55m in prize money from their commendable third-place finish in the group stages.
It's the kind of financial incentive that underlines the importance of playing Champions League football as it will also help bolster the club's summer transfer budget come the end of the campaign.
Meanwhile, table-toppers Liverpool have earned a lucrative £80.91m in prize money to date and that could reach £91.41m if they finish the job against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield.
Aston Villa are looking to set up a Champions League quarter-final showdown with Liverpool or PSG.
The Villains have already banked £58.67m in prize money from the group stages where they squeezed through in eighth place after beating Celtic 4-2 to avoid an unwanted play-off clash.
Last season, reaching the quarter-finals was worth in excess of £9.1m meaning there has been a notable £1.4m hike this term.
Each Champions League group stage win was worth a £1.8m bonus.
