Arsenal are the only side to boast a 100 per cent record in the Champions League this season

Mikel Arteta's Gunners have finished up on maximum points (24) and are the only side in the entire competition to have won all eight of their group matches.

The accolade also means Arsenal advance straight through to the last 16 - something they already wrapped up with one game to spare - avoiding the awkward play-off round.

Not only that but they will also receive home ties in the second legs of the last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, should they make it.

That could effectively prove more important than the prize money, which will bolster Arsenal's coffers ahead of the summer transfer window or in the final days of the winter window, should they wish to utilise it.

UEFA will distribute a record £2.88billion pot across the Champions League, Super Cup, Europa League and Conference League respectively this season.
