World football has reached a new financial dimension. According to the latest Football Money League report published by consultancy Deloitte, Real Madrid has once again made history by consolidating itself as the undisputed leader in revenue.
After being the first club to break the €1 billion barrier, the Madrid side has shattered its own records by reaching €1.191 billion in the 2024/25 season.

This unstoppable growth is supported mainly by an unprecedented commercial muscle. Through sponsorships and merchandising sales alone, the club generated €594 million.
To understand the magnitude of this figure: if Real Madrid only counted its commercial income, it would already be one of the ten richest clubs on the planet, surpassing the total revenues of historic continental powerhouses.
The European football ecosystem also shows an upward trend, with combined revenues climbing to €12.4 billion.
Beyond Spanish hegemony, the European financial map has seen significant changes this year. Paris Saint-Germain, after winning its first Champions League title, remains solid in fourth position with €837 million, demonstrating that sporting success is the ultimate fuel for its commercial deals.

However, the big surprise comes from England: for the first time in the history of the report, Liverpool (€836M) has managed to surpass Manchester City and Manchester United, becoming the highest-earning club in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, clubs like Juventus and Inter Milan have broken the €500 million barrier thanks to their participation in the new Club World Cup, although Serie A continues to struggle with stagnant domestic TV rights.
On the national front, FC Barcelona returns to the world podium, taking second place with €975 million. Despite playing away from Camp Nou, the strategy of "Personal Seat Licenses" and commercial management have allowed the Blaugrana club to grow by 27%.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich closes out the 'top 3', while Manchester City falls to sixth place after a year of less sporting success.
