Real Madrid made history by becoming the first football club to achieve annual revenues of over £1.013 billion. This record-breaking figure was composed of £203 million from ticket sales, £292 million from broadcasting rights, and £518 million from commercial contracts. Notably, the club's player wage bill (£446 million) was lower than that of its runner-up, Barcelona (£460 million). This achievement solidifies Real Madrid's position at the top of Deloitte's list of the world's richest football clubs for 2025. Meanwhile, Barcelona climbed from sixth place in the 2023-2024 season to second place, though its annual revenue of £851 million is significantly behind its local rival.
