Real Madrid topped football's rich list for the sixth year in succession, as Manchester United dropped to third.

Accountancy firm Deloitte have announced their annual Football Money League report, which again confirmed Real as football's top revenue earning club.

Indeed, Real posted record figures as their revenues moved in excess of €400million (£363m) for the first time.

The Spanish league is benefiting from the strong Euro at the moment and, partly as a result of that, Barcelona have leapt into second spot ahead of English champions United.

"Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have created a clear revenue gap between themselves and their European competitors, and look set to contest the top two positions in the Money League for the foreseeable future, particularly if the pound doesn't strengthen against the euro," said Alan Switzer, director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte,

The top 20 was little changed from last year, with Werder Bremen and Manchester Cityreplacing VfB Stuttgart and Turkish club Fenerbahce.

The list was again dominated by European clubs, with seven English clubs, four from Italy, and two each from France and Spain. The number of German clubs grew to five from four.

Despite being in the Championship, Newcastle managed to remain in the top 20.

So how can utd be one of the richest clubs when they're drowning in debt? Also Real taking out massive loans to secure those players?

I think the list is just a comparison of the clubs revenue, without taking into account their expenses.

Good to see our board doing a great job there. It's really great position for us actually and we can only go up from here. Too bad I'm not so sure about our football qualities.

Napoli? Wow.

Oh, and not bad, Italy.
You surprised !!

Last season serie A clubs "in general" have spent more on the transfer market than any other league ( including the premier league and the la liga). Take away barca, Real from the la liga and the rest of the la liga clubs spent around 100 mil euros.

In serie A excluding the top 4 clubs (juve, milan, Inter and Roma) the rest of the league clubs have spent around 300 mil euros (thats 3 times what the la liga clubs have spent).

Same in england, take away man City and the rest of the leagues clubs still spent less than serie A clubs (but they're still pretty close to serie A).

Clubs in italy had spent more than twice :money: than the bundesliga clubs last summer too.

Serie A is in a pretty decent financial state ATM. It's just that it didn't show up much in europe "in results" (it will eventually)....
