English sides have experienced mixed fortunes in recent seasons, from Liverpool's Champions League final misery to Manchester United's Europa League triumph.

Take a look below to reveal which Premier League teams have earned the most TV money from European competitions in the last five years.
7. Leicester – £73m
The Foxes enjoyed one memorable season in the Champions League, making it all the way to the quarter-finals.
6. Tottenham – £124m
Spurs have only enjoyed two Champions League seasons in the last five years, and only progressed from the group stage once.
5. Liverpool – £136m
Runners-up in the Europa League, followed by runners-up in the Champions League, can the Reds go one step further in 2018/19?
4. Manchester United – £153m
The 2016/17 Europa League winners have failed to inspire in the Champions League since they reached the final in 2011.

The Europa League crown in 2013 and a deep run into the 2013/14 Champions League semi-finals have boosted the Blues’ total.
