The Spanish giants continue to dominate the Football Money League as they have expanded their enormous lead over the top clubs from England, Germany and Italy
Real Madrid and Barcelona remain top of football’s rich list as the Spanish duo moved further clear of their rivals from England, Germany, Italy and France. According to the 2012 Deloitte Football Money League, published today, the Liga giants are the only clubs with annual revenue over €450 million.
Real Madrid top the Football Money League for the seventh year in succession and are now just one year short of equaling Manchester United’s dominance in the top position during the first eight years of the Money League.
However, they are being chased hard by rivals Barcelona, whose 13 per cent growth in 2010-11 meant revenue surpassed €450m for the first time.
Although United’s failure to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League in 2011-12 will likely result in the gulf between the club and its Spanish opponents stretching to over €100m. Once again, the Money League top 20 comprises clubs from the ‘big five’ European leagues, six of which come from the English Premier League, while a further five English clubs were just outside the top 20 for revenues in the 2010-11 season (Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Everton, West Ham United and Sunderland).
