Leicester City earned more money for reaching the Champions League quarter-finals last season than Real Madrid did for winning the competition.
The Foxes, who were knocked out by Atletico Madrid, received 81.7m euros (£73.2m) in their debut season in the competition.
Champions League winners Real Madrid were paid 81m euros (£72.6m).
Runners-up Juventus were the only club to earn more with 110.4m euros (£98.6m).

Well, if you look at those, you realize we haven't caught the teams in front of us yet, but we are putting a huge gap behind us
Our income is at 306M, Leicester's at 233M (but that was their one off CL season, which would have accounted for 45M+ of that revenue)
So 50M to make up gap to next two, 120M behind to nearest competitor.
It's really quite fudged up, take City out of the equation and Levy's stadium and expansion (which was planned before City's sugar daddy) would have had the potential to put us on par or better than everyone bar united.
Our new stadium income though will put us on the £400m plus bracket
I'd assume so, and that will put us in top 4 income bracket (instead of 6th), you could even argue we likely have a real shot at being 3rd on list.
Wow i didn't expect us to jump up to 4th highest revenue in the league but looking at the numbers that seems quite likely
Yep, and that's with no real view of what the NFL deal & other non football related activities at new WHL will do.
If we really pull this off organically, with no financial cheating/doping, it's an amazing statement about our progress and fan base.

I'm not so sure. Liverpool weren't in the CL that season.
Bizarre as it might seem, I don't think the new stadium will change our ranking at all. We will close the gap on PL competitors. Likewise in Europe, as Juventus have followed United and Liverpool in extending their commercial interests into regional fish sauce sponsorship.
They have achieved nothing meaningful and never will. They are a blank spot on the table as far as I am concerned.
Please just look at that last chart, and consider how well Spurs are doing recently
