Top 20 Richest Football Clubs in the World

By: Bob | February 7th, 2007

real-madrid.jpgThey may not be on top of La Liga, but Real Madrid are still number one at producing revenue. The Spanish giants head the list of the world’s richest football clubs according to the Football Money League report published by Deloitte consultants. Real might not want to rest on their laurels too long now that Barcelona have jumped into second place. Barca have doubled their revenue since 2002/03. Don’t we wish we could all say the same!

The rest of the list includes many familiar names, including Manchester United who had a stranglehold on the top spot every year until 2004/05. For those scoring at home, the top 20 includes 8 teams from England, 4 from Italy, 3 from Germany, 2 from Spain and 1 each from Scotland, France and Portugal.
