Premier League Dominates Football's Rich List

Real Madrid has topped the list of football's richest clubs by income for the tenth year running, but the Premier League is now dominating the chart.

England's top flight clubs have shown their dominance among the highest-earners, with all 20 teams making it into the rich list's top 40.

The Football Money League, published by business advisory firm Deloitte, shows clubs are looking to commercial and broadcast revenue to boost their finances.

The combined revenue for the top 20 clubs by revenue rose by 14% over the past year to £5.2bn.

Real Madrid saw revenue growth of £25.6m - a total of £459.5m over the past year - on the back of increases in broadcast and commercial revenue.

Dan Jones, partner in the Sport Business Group at Deloitte, said: "The club's continued success on the field is complemented by its financial strength.

"Their accomplishment emphasises their position as the most successful European club side of all time.

"However, their commercial supremacy is being challenged by Manchester United (NYSE: MANU - news) , among others."

Manchester United earned revenues of £433.2m over the past year, making the club the second highest-earning team in the world.

Austin Houlihan, a senior manager at Deloitte, said the strong result for Manchester United came despite poor on-pitch performance.

"Commercial revenue has grown 83% in the last three years. Thanks to the latest Premier League media deals, broadcast revenue also increased 34% to £135.8m."

Eight Premier League clubs have been ranked within the top 20, and every club made it into the top 40.

Mr Houlihan said: "The Premier League’s new broadcast deals have translated into big revenue increases across the English top flight."

"In fact, every Premier League club reported record revenues in 2013/14.

The eight English clubs in the top 20 list achieved total broadcast revenues of nearly a million pounds:
