The Los Blancos tops the Deloitte Money League with record revenue.
Real Madrid are still at the top of the Deloitte Money League after being the first team to make over €1 billion in revenue.
Last season, the LaLiga heavyweights, who won another Champions League trophy and a domestic title in 2023–24, earned 1.05 billion euros (£883 million/$1.09 billion). No team has ever reported such figures, with off-field financial success emulating on-field achievements.
With remarkable revenue numbers of £708m ($872m), Premier League winners Manchester City, who won that award in a record-breaking fourth consecutive campaign last term, are ranked second in the Money League. However, they are still engaged in a Financial Fair Play battle with 115 charges.
The Deloitte top five is completed by French powerhouse Paris St-Germain (£681m/$839m), struggling Premier League team Manchester United (£651m/$802m), who are still cutting costs under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the team’s INEOS co-ownership team, and Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich (£646m/$796m).
Nine English teams are in the 20; Aston Villa are rising after finishing in the top four the previous season and are playing in the Champions League, while Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, and West Ham are all holding onto their spots.
Five more Premier League teams—Brighton, Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham, and Wolves—are in the top 30, while Barcelona have dropped from fourth to sixth place due to a £53 million ($65 million) decline in matchday revenue brought on by Camp Nou’s renovations.
