Real Madrid record highest revenue in world football for third consecutive year

 Spanish giants, Real Madrid, have once again been crowned the highest-revenue club in world football. For the third consecutive year, the club tops Deloittes global ranking after generating 1.161 billion in revenue during the 202425 season. That figure represents a year-on-year increase of 115.5 million and places Real Madrid nearly 200 million ahead of second-placed Barcelona (974.8m). This figure is almost 200 million more than the second-placed club, FC Barcelona, which recorded revenues of 974.8 million, and far ahead of the most powerful clubs in the Premier League. For example, Liverpool, ranked fifth, generated 836.1 million. Despite failing to win any major trophies during the season, Real Madrid once again achieved outstanding financial results. As Deloitte points out, the three main revenue streams in football grew to unprecedented levels. Real Madrid were able to capitalise on this environment, consolidating their global leadership in revenue generation, from the new income created by the exploitation of the Santiago Bernabeu to participation in the Club World Cup and the Champions League. According to the report, the key to Real Madrids success lies in commercial revenues, which increased by 23%, to around 570 million (499 million). This rise was driven by improved merchandising sales and new commercial partners. The Spanish capital club also generated 323 million (281 million) from broadcast revenue. It places them at the top of the list in both categories. Below is the full top-20 ranking from Deloittes report, highlighting just how far ahead Real Madrid currently stands: Real Madrid  1,161.0mBarcelona  974.8mBayern Munich  860.6mParis Saint-Germain  837.0mLiverpool  836.1mManchester City  829.3mArsenal  821.7mManchester United  793.1mTottenham Hotspur  672.6mChelsea  584.1mInter  537.5mBorussia Dortmund  531.3mAthletic Club  454.5mAston Villa  450.2mAC Milan  410.4mJuventus  401.7mNewcastle United  398.4mStuttgart  296.3mBenfica  283.4mWest Ham United  276.0mThe post Real Madrid record highest revenue in world football for third consecutive year appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
