Chelsea will earn a least €12.7 million from UEFA for their participation next season, but that could rise to a maximum of €57.2 million if they win the competition.  Chelsea will also stand to earn more from the commercial and marketing side of the game for their qualification, with the aforementioned fees including just the TV and prize money on offer.  They follow the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and FC Basel in qualifying for the Champions League. Meanwhile, Everton have qualified for the Europa League after West Brom and Southampton failed to win this weekend.</blockquote>
