1 - Real Madrid

Last season, Real Madrid, also known as “Los Blancos,” won the Champions League and managed to earn $146 million during this tournament. The total revenue of the Spanish club amounted to $807 million. Such figures boosted Real Madrid’s market value by 19% compared to 2022. The capitalization of the club exceeds $6 billion. This is the largest amount among all football clubs in the world.

2 - Manchester United

According to Forbes, Manchester United earned nearly $780 million last season, significantly increasing its market value. The football club’s market cap stands at $6 billion, up 11% from a year ago. Notably, the upcoming sale of the MU could be a record-breaking deal in football history. The club's owners, the Glazer family, estimate the club for more than $6 billion.

3 - Barcelona

Compared to the previous financial year, Barcelona’s market value soared by 10%. Today, it is estimated at $5.5 billion. Last season, the Catalan club's revenues exceeded $720 million.

The club will play its first matches outside Camp Nou since the 1950s.
