Liverpool’s prize money for defeating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday has been revealed.
The UK Mirror reports that the win only earned the Reds a small financial reward. The total pot for the entire competition is just £200,000.
And that amount is shared among the four teams who make it to the semi-finals or further. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, who were both eliminated at the semi-final stages, have each received £25,000 each.
The runners-up at Wembley land themselves £50,000 while winners Liverpool will walk away with £100,000.
It is in stark contrast to the FA Cup, in which this season’s winners are guaranteed a minimum of £3.4m in prize money.
