Real Madrid Earned 1.209 trillion won. World's No. 1 Football Team
The best-paid soccer team in the world was Real Madrid.
Deloitte, a global accounting consulting firm, released its earnings ranking on Wednesday. Real Madrid topped the list. It earned 831.4 million euros 1.209 trillion won last season.
In second place is Manchester City. With 825 million euros, it was closely followed by Real Madrid. Manchester City has been at the top of the list for the past two years in a row, this time losing to Real Madrid.
The third place is PSG where Lee Kang-in plays. PSG rose to third place from fifth place last year. The company earned 801.8 million euros, which was not much different from Real Madrid and Manchester City.
It was followed by Barcelona €801 million and Manchester United €745.8 million. Bayern Munich €744 million with Kim Min-jae came in sixth. Liverpool €682.9 million came in seventh, and Tottenham €631.5 million, where Son Heung-min plays as a captain, came in eighth. Chelsea €589.4 million and Arsenal €532.6 million came in ninth and 10th.
English Premier League teams were absolutely strong. Six of the top 10 imported teams belonged to the Premier League. Analysts say that the Premier League's huge broadcasting rights were based on it. As there are many stars, additional income, such as uniform sales, also overwhelmed other league teams.
In addition, the top 20 teams earned a total of 10.5 billion euros 15.286 trillion won last season. Compared to the previous season, the revenue increased by 14 percent. This was driven by a surge in broadcasting rights fees and marketing income. Since COVID-19, revenue from home stadiums has also increased significantly. Real Madrid, which ranked first, saw its revenue increase by 40 percent compared to two years ago.
Teams that earned ample cash prizes by performing well in the UEFA Champions League, their own leagues and cup competitions also ranked at the top. Liverpool fell from fourth to seventh two years ago, and the drop in its performance was a decisive factor.
In the 2021-2022 season, Liverpool grabbed three victories including the UEFA Champions League final, the FA Cup, and the League Cup. It even acquired huge broadcasting fees in addition to the prize money for the championship. However, during the last season, Liverpool lost to the FA Cup in the round of 32, and the Champions League and League Cup in the round of 16, resulting in a sharp drop in income as well.
Meanwhile, Deloitte also announced the earnings of its women's soccer teams. However, clubs outside major European leagues such as Australia, Japan and the U.S. did not include them in the list, claiming that data was not available.
Barcelona, the winner of the UEFA Women's Champions League in the 2021-2022 season and the winner of the 2022-2023 season, came in first. Its revenue was 13.4 million euros W19.5 billion. 스포츠토토
The figure rose from 7.7 million euros last year. It topped 10 million euros for the first time. Manchester United came in second with 8 million euros, followed by Real Madrid with 7.4 million euros. They were followed by Manchester City with 5.3 million euros, Arsenal with 5.3 million euros, and Chelsea with 4.1 million euros.
