Borussia Dortmund have reached the Champions League final and Manchester United's bank balance has subsequently received a boost.
Jadon Sancho left Old Trafford on loan in January for a return to Germany, and there were plenty of financial caveats.

Dortmund had already forked out £3million, plus a chunk of his wages, to land the winger in January, who was ostracised by Erik ten Hag after a fallout.
That agreement also stated that the Signal Iduna Park outfit would pay United a further £3.4m based on Champions League progress and appearances.
And talkSPORT understands that most of the add-ons have now been made as a result of Sancho making it to Wembley.
And that is exactly what happened after Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate in their Champions League semi-final clash on Tuesday.

But while Dortmund might have to end up paying more for Sancho, they will not mind one bit after shocking the footballing world to reach the Champions League final.
After drawing PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle earlier this season in the so-called 'Group of Death', they finished top of that group and have since knocked out PSV, Atletico Madrid and now the French champions.
Mats Hummels scored the only goal of the game in the second leg after Niclas Fullkrug netted last week, while Sancho was praised for his tremendous dribbling skills.
And after the match he was in the middle of the celebrations, leading the Borussia Dortmund squad in a rendition of 'Someone Like You' by Adele.
It is a remarkable turnaround for Sancho, who had been banished to train with the Under-18s at United after a bust-up with Ten Hag early in the season.
He has not played for the Red Devils since August 26 after refusing to apologise to the Dutch coach, who left him out of the squad after defeat to Arsenal earlier that month for his performances in training.

Sancho insisted he was being used as a scapegoat and refused to apologise for his comments, leading to the two being at loggerheads.
The 24-year-old signed for United in 2021 from Dortmund for £73m, being heralded as a potential poster boy to lead the club into a new era.

However, the forward failed to find his feet at Old Trafford and in 82 appearances in all competitions, he has scored just 12 - nine of which are in the Premier League.
Whether his future lies at United remains to be seen with the current campaign still ongoing, though talkSPORT understands the situation might be irreparable.

Dortmund would love to sign him permanently but might not have the funds to complete a full transfer, while they are also keen on purchasing another loanee in Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, who has a £35m option-to-buy clause.
Speaking about the potential transfer, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl told TNT Sport: "We will see. They are on loan, both of them, but at the end we need to make any decisions.
"They are under contract with their clubs so it means we will, at a specific point, get in touch and see if it is possible or not. I know that the players are welcome at Dortmund, they feel at home, especially Jadon, he knows our club pretty well.
"I think it was quite a good decision to take them in the winter, but again this is something for the future."
Much might depend on whether Ten Hag remains at Old Trafford next season with his own future under consideration with Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking control of football operations.

A crushing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday night - just 24 hours before Sancho reached the Champions League final - would have done little to back up his case.

However, talkSPORT understands no decision will be made on Ten Hag's future until after the FA Cup final later this month, but a former Premier League manager is in the frame to take over.
