Real Madrid, Barcelona top football's money list
Real Madrid and Barcelona are world football's biggest moneymakers for the second successive year as the combined revenues of Europe's top 20 clubs exceeded €4 billion ($5.5 billion) for the first time
AP Published in Ahram Online on 10 - 02 - 2011

The annual review of football finance by British accountancy firm Deloitte, showed that Madrid generated €438.6 million in the year to June 30, 2010, representing an annual increase of 20 percent as the team retained top spot for the sixth straight year.
Barcelona, which beat Madrid to the Spanish title last year and won the FIFA Club World Cup, saw a more modest revenue increase of just under 10 percent to €398.1.
The Spanish rivals' supremacy is helped by the uneven distribution of broadcasting rights from domestic competitions.
The top six teams remained unchanged from the 2010 rankings, with Real Madrid and Barcelona followed by Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea.
The biggest mover in the top 20 was Manchester City, as the Premier League's wealthiest team climbed nine places to 11th with a 44 percent revenue increase to a club record 125 million pounds (€153m).
Premier League rival Liverpool fell one place to eighth after dropping out of the Champions League places and finishing seventh last season.
"All bar three of the top 20 clubs achieved revenue growth during 2009/10, demonstrating the continued resilience of football's top clubs as the full impact of the global economic downturn took hold," said Dan Jones of the Deloitte sports business group.
"The game's top clubs have proved themselves well-placed to meet these economic challenges given their large and loyal supporter bases, ability to drive broadcast audiences, and continuing attraction to corporate partners." The combined income generated by the top-20 clubs rose to €4.3 billion- up 8 percent on the previous year. Deloitte said that 44 percent of that total- €1.9 billion- comes from the sale of broadcast rights.
Fourteen of the to 20 clubs participated in the Champions League and the remainder competed in the Europa League.
