Biggest day in world football
This afternoon there is £90m up for grabs as Blackpool face West Ham in the
Championship play-off final.
Then, tonight, Chelsea hunt for a £50m jackpot for beating Bayern Munich in
the Champions League final.
The matches will have a combined TV audience of more than 300m — with the vast
majority switching on to the action in Germany.
Last year’s winners Barcelona trousered more than £43m in prize money and TV
revenue.
Chelsea will collect £7.6m in prize money if they win tonight or £5.5m as
runners-up.
Their prize money pot already stands at over £11m — £3.6m for reaching the
semi-finals, £2.8m for the quarters, £2.5m for the round of 16, £2.02m for
their three group wins and £675,000 for their two group draws.
