The page of the consequences of the stadiums emptied by the Covid-19 is turned for the PSG.

With 654 million euros in turnover, Paris ranked 5th among European clubs in 2021/2022, in a ranking where the very powerful Premier League occupies 11 of the first 20 ranks, according to a study by Deloitte. .

With an increase of almost 18% compared to the previous season (556.2 million euros), PSG does better than the average of the top 20 (13%) and gains a place compared to the 2022 edition of this “Football Money League” published by the audit firm, just ahead of Bayern Munich (653.6 million).

“Match day” revenue multiplied by 10

The almost general increase in revenues, with the exception of Juventus and Inter Milan, is explained in particular by the rebound in "match day" revenues (ticketing, catering) which were multiplied by 10, from 111 million to 1.4 billion euros for the Top 20, with the return of supporters to the stadiums.

Commercial revenues (sponsors, merchandising) increased by 8%, from 3.5 to 3.8 billion euros.

But this ranking especially confirms the increasingly marked hegemony of English football, since Manchester City comes first for the second year in a row with 731 million euros, ahead of Real Madrid (713.8 million) and Liverpool (701 million).

Seventh only last year, the Reds overtook Manchester United for the first time (4th with 688 million), buoyed by their incredible last season with their 2nd place in the Premier League, the Champions League final and their success in the two national cups.

England monopolizes six of the first ten places and eleven of the first twenty with new entrants such as Leeds (18th with 223 million euros) or Newcastle (20th, 212 million), whose takeover by the Saudi sovereign fund does not has not yet produced its full effects.

A sign of the times, Barcelona, ​​who topped this ranking two years ago, are now just 7th (638 million) after their early elimination in the Champions League and slower growth than the competition in commercial income.

"The financial superiority of the Premier League is unlikely to be challenged in the coming seasons", further judged Sam Boor, director of Deloitte's Sports Business Group, while "these clubs continue to attract international investment ".

"The question now is probably not if, but when the 20 Premier League clubs will be in the Top 30."

They are currently 16.
