At the beginning of each year, Deloitte publishes the club's earnings rankings. Compared with the club level, Deloitte's rankings have their own professionalism and objectivity, and they are better understood from the financial aspect, and for clubs such as Barcelona and Inter Milan, which rely heavily on external funding, Deloitte, which is deeply involved in financial statements, can also get the freshest financial information, so as to ensure the professionalism and transparency of the rankings.
In the specific rankings, Manchester City, which had been at the top of the rankings for the past two years, was squeezed into second place, and Real Madrid was ranked first. Since the 17-18 season, Real Madrid has been behind Manchester City in terms of team revenue, and in 2023, Real Madrid finally crossed the mountain of Manchester City, earning a record 83.1 billion euros.
And behind them, PSG finished with 8Revenue of 0.1 billion euros ranked third. Although it is still financially difficult, the Catalan giant's revenue soared to 800.1 billion euros ranked fourth. On the list, the Premier League's dominance is still terrifying, with Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal all finishing in the top 10 in addition to sixth-placed Bayern Munich.
Judging from last season's results, Manchester City should probably be better financially: they were the most successful team in the 22-23 season, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup, and the broadcast revenue and commercial development revenue have increased considerably, with a single season revenue of 82.6 billion euros, the team's all-time record level.
As their commercial rivals, Real Madrid only won the Copa del Rey last season (the Super Cup is 24 years old, after all), and the Champions League only reached the last four and were eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals. But even so, in this La Liga where Tebas cries every day, Real Madrid has achieved great success in terms of income, and the team's income has increased by 16% year-on-year5%。
Real Madrid's big money last season was largely due to the team's performance in the Champions League. Although the way to leave is not decent, as the team that has gone furthest in La Liga in the Champions League, Real Madrid can get the lion's share of the Champions League, and with the Champions League bonus alone, Real Madrid will get 11.8 billion euros, only 9 million less than Manchester City.
Although the participation prize money is huge, it is actually Real Madrid's operation on match day that really widens the gap. Unlike Manchester City's games, which are sometimes crowded and many tickets are cheap, Real Madrid's ball market is more popular, except for season ticket holders, Real Madrid has done a better job in selling bulk tickets to tourists and pilgrims, and in the 2022-23 revenue statistics, Real Madrid's membership fees, subscription fees and stadium tickets combined revenue of 15.2 billion euros, which is also the real foundation of Real Madrid's income.
And next season, Real Madrid's new Bernabeu will be fully operational, and according to Spain** estimates, the new Bernabeu stadium will immediately produce 1With an income of 6.6 billion euros, this will increase Real Madrid's total revenue to more than 1 billion euros - whether it is the competitiveness of the team or the future prospects, Real Madrid's finances can steadily improve under the premise of health, which will also reduce the difficulty of Florentino's financing in the future, and Real Madrid can also appear more comfortable in strengthening the team.
