£ 170m in play and 90,000 spectators: Derby and Villa in Wembley for the richest sport

It is the most lucrative game of the sport.

Aston Villa and Derby County are heading to Wembley Stadium for the championship final full of hope, but are also worried about missing the carrot available for the winner.

Forget the Superbowl (£ 4.9m) or the Champions League final (£ 16.7m), the championship final lasts 90 minutes and can turn the fate of a team in an instant.

In fact, the win at Wembley on Monday afternoon for either of these two games is more lucrative than the combined victory of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

If you are Aston Villa, you gain hope and confidence at regular season meetings with the Rams.

In two games against Derby, Villa sits 7-0 overall before his third game of the season at Wembley.

But Villa has lost in his last six trips to Wembley after his last win, four years ago, during a FA Cup semifinal win over Liverpool.

Players will not need much motivation for the biggest match of the Championship calendar, but if they need a makeover, the bonuses offered should do the trick.

According to The Sun, the Derby team is online to get bonuses of 10 million pounds when they reserve their place in the Premier League for 2019-20. If Aston Villa returns to the podium, its players will share a £ 6m bonus pot.

It should also be noted that if Villa reached the top, the former owner Randy Lerner would be entitled to 30 million pounds and 10 million more if they survived two seasons.

The American inserted a clause when he sold the club to Tony Xia in 2016 that he would have a boon if they increased within three years. Monday's match represents Lerner's last chance to get to £ 30 million from Villa.

Entry into the Premier League brings substantial funds that would otherwise be unavailable in the lower divisions, particularly because of the huge sums spent on broadcast rights.

Each team participating in the Premier League earns 79.4 million pounds per season just by being there. This season, Huddersfield Town, who finished last in the league, won £ 93.3 million in the Premier League.

The latest broadcast rights agreement would mean that even if either team reaches the end of next season, it will still win £ 110 million.

The Sky and BT broadcasters will be alongside Amazon for the broadcast of the Premier League matches next season.

With Villa among the favorites, the success of Derby would really be a slice of history, since he had almost ensured a place in play-off.

If Derby went up, his 74 points would be the least of those promoted to the Premier League since Crystal Palace in 2012-13.

Reaching Wembley, Villa scored 84 goals in 48 games while Lampard's fluid derby clocked 73 in 48.

Villa was losing the finalists last season – it was missing at Fulham – but the successive defeats of the play-offs would have a significant cost for next season as the club prepares to lose the help of the parachute payment.

The club's revenue, according to Birmingham Live, has gone from a peak of £ 108.8 million in 2016 to £ 68.8 million last season. Parachute payments should end if they do not go up, this figure should fall to around £ 50 million. .

If both sides look into the record book, they will realize that the final of the 2012 play-offs will be valued at over a billion pounds for the winner, West Ham.

The East side of London has remained in place since winning Blackpool seven years ago and has seen its revenue soar since it came out of second place.

This incredible value of 1 billion pounds sterling on the 2012 victory clearly highlights the height of the stakes as Aston Villa faces the Derby in this year's game.
