Real Madrid have beaten
Manchester United and rivals Barcelona to become the richest club in the world.
After winning a third
consecutive Champions League in May – to take their tally to 13 – The
Galacticos banked revenues of an astonishing £659m in 2017-18.
That represented a rise of
£60m from the previous year, when they had fallen narrowly behind United in the
revenue list.
But with United’s latest
figures showing a slight fall to £590m, to add to their on-pitch woes under
Jose Mourinho – Real have streaked ahead of the Old Trafford club.
Barcelona, too, who
reported figures of £602m, are above United and in second place.
But while the United has
dropped off the pace set by Spain’s big two, they remain comfortably the
best-placed English side.
While Arsenal, Chelsea and
Liverpool are yet to report their latest figures, they were all way adrift of
United in 2016-17.
And United’s only real
financial rivals, Manchester City, have already confirmed their revenues rose
in 2017-18 from £463m to a club record £501m.
