Erling Haaland has already paid Man City back despite penalty miss vs Bayern Munich

Manchester City have made more than £54million in Champions League prize money this season after advancing to the semi-finals.

Erling Haaland has played no small part in their run to the final four and has already effectively paid back the £51million transfer fee City paid to trigger the release clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract during the summer transfer window.

The striker has scored 12 goals in the competition, four more than closest rival Mohamed Salah and double the tally of Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior, the closest competitor on a team in the semi-finals. Haaland took his total to a dozen with the opener against Bayern, having earlier missed a penalty, setting up their tie against the reigning champions and securing City an £11 million windfall.

That is the financial reward they, Madrid, Milan and Inter all receive for winning their quarter-finals. For City, it only added to the £43million (€48.9m) they have already earned during this season's competition.

The club received £13.77million (€15.64m) just for qualifying in the first place. Then winning four of their six group stage matches once the action was underway, and drawing the other two, meant a further £ 11.5 million (€13.06m) followed for their performances.

Another £8.45million (€9.6m) came after reaching the round of 16, plus an additional £9.33million (€10.6m) was banked for progressing past RB Leipzig, taking the total to fractionally over £43million (€48.9m). After adding another £11million (€12.5m) in reaching the semi-finals, the total stands at £54.14 million (€61.4m).

Should City replicate their feats of 2021 and reach a second final in three years, £13.64million (€15.5m)
