Their place in the semi-finals earned another €15 million (£12.9 million) in prize money.
After overcoming Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals, Arsenal were awarded an additional €18.5 million (£15.9 million) for booking their place in the final against Paris Saint-Germain.
How Much Will Arsenal Earn if They Win?
If Arsenal beat PSG at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest on Saturday, they will receive an extra €6.5 million (£5.6 million) in prize money.
Victory in the final would take Arsenal’s total earnings from this season’s Champions League campaign to approximately £95.4 million.
Winning the competition would also secure Arsenal a place in the UEFA Super Cup final, which will be played at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg on August 12.
Aston Villa have already qualified for the Super Cup after their 3-0 victory over Freiburg in last week’s Europa League final.
Participation in the UEFA Super Cup guarantees each club €4 million (£3.4 million), while the winners receive an additional €1 million (£860,000).
