The Taylor Swift effect and further revenue away from soccer have helped Los Blancos, with the Miami Dolphins' home game later this year only expected to help keep them at the top.

For a second consecutive year, they topped Deloitte’s Money League, released today. The figures are for last season, which ended with another Champions League title for Real Madrid, enabling them to become the first football club to push through €1billion in annual revenue, earning €1.05bn (£884m; $1.08bn).

Real Madrid have cemented their status as the world's richest club after surpassing €1bn of revenue, says Deloitte's Football Money League.

Real Madrid are the first football club to top a billion euros in revenue during a single season, fuelled by income generated by the revamped Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

Real Madrid became the first soccer team to register one billion euros ($1.04 billion) in revenue in a single season in 2023-24, with the Spanish side topping the Deloitte Football Money League as the world's highest revenue-generating club once again.

Real Madrid have become the first club to record over €1 billion in annual revenue in the Deloitte Football Money League, the consulting firm said on Thursday.

Real Madrid continues to show why it is the world's number-one club, being the first to surpass $1 billion in operating income.
