No doubt Manchester United are currently the richest club in world football according to the Forbes magazine. They are followed by Barcelona and Real Madrid, but surely that shouldn't be a disappointment for the Madrid fans.

Barcelona might be second on the rich-list, but that's the highest position they have ever achieved since the magazine started releasing this list in 2007.

Real Madrid have finished as the richest club 4 times in a row for the past 4 years. Enough to prove which club has the better financial muscle, isn't it?

According to the report compiled by the Sports Business Institute, Real Madrid have outclassed Barcelona in the revenues department from 2003 to 2015, earning considerably higher than their fierce rivals.

In 2016 Madrid accumulated a wealth of €129 million in contrast to Barcelona's €121.4 million from match-day revenues. They also beat Barcelona in terms of broadcast revenues, earning €227.7 million in comparison to their rivals' €207.7 million. But Barcelona emerged as better earners by a minimal margin in the overall revenue (Barca - €620.2 million, Real Madrid - €620.1million)
