Europe's leading 20 clubs by revenue together earned €9.3bn last year. 22 years ago, the top 20 earned just €1.2bn

BARCELONA’S FOOTBALLERS do not sparkle quite as they used to. Granted, at the season’s halfway mark they are top of La Liga, just ahead of Real Madrid, their perennial rivals, and may win a third consecutive Spanish title. But they have not won the European Champions League since 2015, in which time Real have lifted the trophy three times.

The leading 20 clubs by revenue together earned €9.3bn last year. Twenty-two years ago, when Deloitte compiled its first financial league table, the total for the top 20 was just €1.2bn. Behind this steep increase in revenue lie increasingly lucrative broadcasting contracts. Over the past five seasons, income from broadcasting has risen by 11% a year, and makes up 44% of the top 20 clubs’ revenues. In 2016-17 it overtook commercial income , which brings in 39%.
