Real Madrid's revenues of 480m euros (£401m) topped the Deloitte league table of the world's richest football clubs for the seventh straight year.

Deloitte's Football Money League, based on data for season 2010/11, says Real will match Manchester United's eight-year record if they stay top next year.

Real's arch-rivals Barcelona remained in second place, ahead of Manchester United, who stayed third.

Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea are fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
Unchanged at top

The top seven clubs stayed in exactly the same positions as in the previous year.

Aston Villa fell out of the league entirely, failing to hold on to their 20th position and leaving English clubs holding six places out of the top 20.

Liverpool fell one spot to ninth place in this year's list.

All of the 20 clubs in the list are from the "big five" European leagues, with Italy contributing five clubs, Germany four, Spain three and France down to two, from three in the previous year.

Together, the top 20 clubs earned 4.4bn euros, a rise of 3% on the previous year.
Spanish rivals

Nine of the 20 clubs saw their revenues grow in double digits in 2010/11.

Although seven of them saw a fall in revenue, the authors said that this was mostly down to weaker on-pitch performances, causing falls in ticket sales and merchandising, rather than the effect of weakness in eurozone economies.

Barcelona's shirt sponsorship deal with the Qatar Foundation is worth about 30m euros per season, according to the report.

This, coupled with the club's 3.5m-euro prize money for winning the Fifa World Cup, may enable the Spanish club to catch up with its arch-rival Real next year, the report suggests.

Both Spanish clubs are approaching record revenue levels of 500m euros and may top this in the next few years, says the report.

German club Schalke leapt six places to 10th after a strong performance in last year's season, which took the club to the semi-final in the Uefa Champions League.

In next year's report, however, Schalke will be edged out of the top 10 by Manchester City, say the report's authors, after considering City's heavy financial support from Abu Dhabi investors and its participation in the 2011/12 Champions League.

Is that list on revenues only?

If that's the case then its only looking at one side of the deal. Turnover is nothing if your running costs are the same as the turnover and less. Then there's assets and liabilities.

Strikes me as a lazy rich list.

Liverpool continue to slip down the Money League,
dropping one place to ninth position, after the club
experienced its first season without Champions League
football since 2003/04. They are the only top ten Money
League club that did not compete in Europe’s top club
competition in 2010/11.

The club’s overall revenues fell slightly in sterling terms,
although reductions in both matchday and broadcast
revenue were almost completely offset by a £15.3m (25%)
increase in commercial revenue to £77.4m (€85.7m).

Driving the commercial revenue increase was the new
four-year shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered
Bank, one of the largest in European football at a
reported £20m (€22m) per season, and an estimated
£12.5m annual increase on the previous shirt deal with
Carlsberg. This allowed Liverpool to strengthen its
position as the second highest earning English club,
behind Manchester United, from this source.

Liverpool will further increase its commercial revenues
from 2012/13, with a new six-year kit deal with Warrior
Sports, worth a reported £25m per year, replacing its
current deal with Adidas.

Matchday revenue decreased by £2m (5%) to £40.9m
(€45.3m) in 2010/11, despite the fact Liverpool played
the same number of games at Anfield (27) as in the
previous two seasons. The principal factor in this was
the replacement of three Champions League matches
with the same number of Europa League fixtures, which
attracted lower attendances at reduced ticket prices.

Broadcast revenue experienced a significant drop of
£14.2m (18%) to £65.3m (€72.3m), mainly due to a
substantial reduction in distributions from UEFA of
€26.3m to €6.1m (£5.5m). A further fall is likely in
2011/12 as the club failed to qualify for a European
competition for the first time in more than a decade.
The reduction in UEFA distributions in 2010/11 was
partly offset by an increase in Premier League
distribution payments, which, following the improved
central deals, which resulted in Liverpool’s
distribution increasing from £48m to £55.2m (€61.1m).

Liverpool’s owners, New England Sports Ventures, have
invested in the playing squad since they acquired the
club in October 2010 and, in the short-term, will need
this to translate to improved on-pitch performance and
qualification for the Champions League if it is to halt
its slide down the Money League. The club needs European
football each year to maintain its status in the Money
League top ten in future editions. In the medium to
longer term, the Warrior Sports deal will underpin
further commercial revenue growth, whilst formulating a
viable plan to either redevelop Anfield or move to a new
home is key in driving matchday revenue increases.
