Chelsea are back in the Champions League this season after a one-year absence and they are already reaping the rewards for that participation.
The Blues have qualified for the knockout stage of the European competition after finishing as runner-up of Group H, behind Valencia.
Chelsea banked in the region of £23million for their Europa League exploits last season, but this season so far, they have already pocketed £60million.
A win in the Champions League earns a team €2.7million and a draw €900,000, meaning at this stage Chelsea have already earned an additional €11million from their three wins and two draws, which includes a portion of a separate pot that is pooled together.
Besides that, the Blues received €15.25million from broadcasting payments, €9.5million for reaching the round of 16 and €20million in coefficient money.
Chelsea will continue their Champions League run on February with a tie against Bayern Munich.
