Having become the first team to win the European Cup on ten occasions in 2014, Real Madrid has also claimed the title of world’s highest-earning club for the tenth straight year. According to Deloitte’s football money league the Spanish giants earned €549.5m ($745m) in the 2013-14 season. Aggregate annual revenues from the world’s 20 highest-earning clubs surpassed €6 billion for the first time, with ticket sales contributing the lowest share in the report’s 18 years. Broadcasting rights and commercial deals are becoming increasingly important; the Premier League’s lucrative television deals now mean that all 20 teams in the English division make the top 40 richest globally.
