Real Madrid and Barcelona moved past Manchester United to become the top earning clubs in 2018 in terms of revenue according to Deloitte's annual report.

The Premier League had 6 out of the top 10 highest earning clubs.

The 20 highest-earning clubs generated over $9.5 billion, a 6% increase from last year. 

“European football remains a bull market, with annual revenue growth of almost €450m [approximately £390m]. Real Madrid’s outstanding financial performance in 2017-18 is built on their long history of success on the pitch, most recently three consecutive Champions League titles. This has enabled the club to continue to drive commercial revenue as the appetite to partner with Europe’s most successful clubs remains stronger than ever," said Dan Jones, a Deloitte partner.
