Arsenal would bank a healthy sum for reaching the last four of the competition. This will be dependent on if they manage to beat Slavia Prague this evening. The amount of money Arsenal will bank if they knock out Slavia Prague in comparison to Champions League last four teams shows much disparity.
The Gunners are in line to bank an additional €2.4m (£2m) if they reach the Europa League semi-finals tonight. This figure pales in comparison to the Champions League.
The arsenal team must now win or earn a draw by scoring at least twice away to Slavia Prague to book a semi-final place having conceded in the final minute of last week’s first leg to draw 1-1 at the Emirates.
