Prestigious Financial magazine “Forbes” has published an article about Football – or Soccer in lots of Anglo-Saxon countries – analyising the Top 20 Clubs in Value in the World for 2009. Here is the link if you wish to read the original (World Football- Soccer).
The magazine looks at the change from 2008 to 2009 & takes into consideration TV rights, merchandising, sponsorship, ticket sales...etc, to come up with a close estimate of the Clubs market value (this term is relative as foreign exchange deviations change figures). In global terms, from 2008 to 2009 the value of the Top 20 Clubs fell 8,5% mainly by the economic crisis. The top 2 Clubs - Man Utd & Real Madrid - fell 2%, FC Barcelona with its 6 titles went up 4% , while AC Milan lost 12% in a year.
Manchester United leads the table with (1,835 M US$, ie. 1.8 BillionUS$ - 1,400M€), followed by REAL MADRID second, Arsenal third, FC BARCELONA fourth & Bayern Munich fifth.
