Real Madrid

Deloitte's financial report for the 2010/11 season places Real Madrid as the sports entity that generates the largest revenue in the world a seventh year running with 479.5 million euros, close to 41 more than the previous year's 438.6 million.

The report also shows Real Madrid's revenue is the most balanced in the top 20, generating 38% from national and international television rights, 36% from marketing, and 26% from ticket sales and exploitation of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Deloitte points out the 20 top clubs generate a combined revenue of close to 4,400 million euros, meaning that, despite the financial crunch, this has increased 3% with respect to the previous season's. The top six spots remain unchanged for the sixth straight year.

The English Premier League has the largest number of teams on the list (6), followed by those of Italy (5), Germany (4), Spain (3) and France (2).
