Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham earnings from 2010-11 Champions League revealed

Figures announced from Uefa show English clubs have made a profit of around €130 million (£114m) from last year’s Champions League competition.

Manchester United profited the most out of the English clubs, having reached the final at Wembley, where they lost 3-1 to Barcelona.

They gained €53.197m (£46m) in payments from Uefa, comprising more than €27m (£23.7m) for their performances from the Champions League group stage onwards, and they gained a further €25.9m (£22.7m) out of the television market pool, whilst also picking up €5.6m (£4.9m) for being runners-up.

Chelsea were another major earner from the competition as they earned €44.523m (£38m) for their performances and television rights.

They were third on the list of high earners, ahead of other European clubs such as Schalke, Real Madrid, Inter, Bayern Munich and London rivals Tottenham.

Spurs earned €31.1m (£27.3m) for their performances, which saw them famously beat AC Milan in the knock-out stages and Inter in the group stage.

Barcelona, the competition winners, picked up €51.025m (£44.8m).
