Shamrock Rovers suffered their first defeat in the UEFA Champions League group stage against Chelsea, but secured their progress to the play-off round. Despite missing out on a direct path to the last-16, Rovers have earned a substantial sum from their European campaign, with a balance of €5,536,000 including qualification fees and match winnings.

Had they made it straight to the last-16, they would have secured an additional €800,000 - but they can still do that in February when they face either Norwegian side Molde or TSC Backa Topola of Serbia.
