Juventus (€1.302b)

Juventus clinched their seventh consecutive league title this season

Italian champions Juventus edged past Tottenham by a margin of €16 million, after being valued at €1.302 billion by KPMG. The Bianconeri owe a big chunk of their financial growth to the on-pitch success, clinching five titles and finishing as Champions League runners-up in the last two years.

In season 2017/18, the Old Lady won their seventh consecutive league title and the Coppa Italia. Considering their ageing squad, manager Massimiliano Allegri deserves an ovation for guiding the club to success and continuing their domination in Italy.

In comparison to the previous year, Juventus have increased their EV by 7%. KPMG has listed the club's Champions League journey to the final in 2017 and the record sale of Paul Pogba to Manchester United as the two key factors behind their improvement in the EV. Also, they have shown the third-highest EV growth in the past two years (32%).

The social media numbers of Juventus are as follows:

Facebook - 32 million

Twitter - 7.5 million

Instagram - 9.5 million

Juve's total social media fan-following adds up to 48.9 million, making them the most followed Italian club in the world. With a 12% increase in their fan-following on the internet, the Italian champions have amassed 5.4 million new followers in contrast to the previous year.
