The world's richest football clubs
Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 7:55 pmReal Madrid is the world's richest club for the second time in a row. Manchester United was occupying that position for some years before losing it to the Spanish club last year and is now 4th. Barcelona is 2nd. Liverpool lost 2 places, Chelsea 1 place (despite the ruski's petrodollars 
) and Arsenal has gone 1 place up. Lyon is the only french club in the top20 at the 11th position. The surprises of this year are most probably Hamburg, which enters the top20 for the first time but is 18th in the Bundesliga, and Juventus which is ranked above "ManYoo" despite the recent corruption scandal and its presence in the 2nd Italian division. Rangers, West Ham United and Benfica are the 3 other clubs that join the top20.
Notice that there are 8 English clubs.
