‘Real’ for a reason. Los Blancos continue to dominate in one way or the other.

LaLiga side Real Madrid has been ranked as the most valuable football team in the world for the fourth consecutive year, with a valuation of $6.6 billion, according to business magazine Forbes.

Real Madrid made history by becoming the first football club to generate a billion dollars in a single year, achieving a record $1.13 billion in revenue for the 2023-24 season, the magazine reported on Friday.

The Spanish club is the second sports team in history to reach the 10-figure revenue milestone, following the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys. Additionally, they are the first soccer team to record one billion euros in revenue in a single season, as noted by Deloitte earlier this year.

England’s Manchester United holds the second spot on Forbes’ list with a valuation of $6.6 billion. Despite finishing eighth in the Premier League, they generated $834 million in revenue for the 2023-24 season.

Barcelona, Real Madrid’s LaLiga rivals, are third with a valuation of $5.65 billion. Liverpool and Manchester City are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.

Forbes identified six Premier League teams among the top 10 most valuable teams. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea joined Bayern Munich and Paris St Germain on the list.

Together, the 30 most valuable soccer teams are worth over $72 billion, averaging $2.4 billion each. This marks a 5% increase from the previous record of $2.26 billion in 2024.
