"Real Madrid again took top spot with 1.61bn (1.4bn), far ahead of Barcelona, with 974m. Bayern Munich with 860m and Paris Saint-Germain with 837m were third and fourth respectively. Liverpool were fifth, having jumped from eighth in the 2023-24 season, a rise fuelled not only by the success of Arne Slot's side but by staging more concerts by artists such as Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Bruce Springsteen at Anfield."
"Marco D'Elia, assistant director in the Deloitte Sport Business Group, confirmed it was the first time Liverpool, who made total revenues of 836m, had topped the Premier League ranking. Liverpool's strong performance was driven by on-pitch performance, Champions League revenues and a 7% increase in their commercial revenues, he said. That is driven by more focus on non-matchday events at Anfield, including concerts by Taylor Swift and corporate events. They also benefited from the challenges of other Premier League clubs, particularly Manchester City."
"A lack of success on the pitch affected the revenue of Manchester City, who dropped from second to sixth after making 829m. Manchester United, who made 793m, fell from fifth to eighth. United were once regarded as the blueprint for commercial success in football and have topped the Money League in 10 of its 29 editions, most recently in 2017. Their fall was down to broadcast revenue dropping from 258m to 206m and because of their absence from the Champions League."
Real Madrid led global club revenues with 1.61bn, followed by Barcelona (974m), Bayern Munich (860m) and Paris Saint-Germain (837m). No Premier League club placed in the top four for the first time in the Money League's history. Liverpool rose to fifth with total revenues of 836m, boosted by Champions League income, on-pitch success and a 7% commercial revenue increase driven by non-matchday events and concerts at Anfield. Manchester City and Manchester United fell in the rankings amid weaker on-field performance and lower broadcast income. Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea remained in the top ten. Most successful clubs are taking greater ownership of revenue-generating capabilities.
