Real Madrid
has achieved a record by making over €1 billion in a single year. According to the
Deloitte Football Money League
, this is the first time it has happened. According to the report, the top 10 clubs in Europe made €11.2 billion last season, mainly by selling tickets, participants from financial backers, and broadcasting rights.
Real Madrid leads the money league once again
For the second time, Real Madrid is listed as the
most affluent football team
on a worldwide scale. Advertising, business rights, and shirt sales during that season brought the club a total of €1,045.5 million. A big part of this jump came from the newly upgraded Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which helped bring in more ticket revenue and new commercial deals.
This is the ninth time in the last 12 years that Real Madrid has taken the No.1 spot in the Deloitte list.
Their continued success on the pitch, combined with smart business moves off it, has kept them ahead of the competition. The club's loyal fan base, strong brand value, and global appeal are all part of what keeps the money flowing in.
