FC Barcelona have edged arch-rival Real Madrid to emerge the most valuable football club in the world.
According to Forbes, the Catalan club is valued at
$4.76 billion over Real Madrid who took the second spot with a valuation of
$4.75 billion.
The development comes despite several claims that Barcelona
have been indebted by the exorbitant wage of Lionel Messi, the world highest
paid footballer.
Bayern Munich came third with a worth of $4.215 billion slightly ahead of fourth-placed Manchester United at $4.2 billion.
Liverpool secured the most spots in the English Premier
League (EPL) with the club jumping three ranking points to finish in fifth.
In spite of a decline in revenue dealt by limited stadium
attendance because of the coronavirus pandemic, the world’s 20 most valuable
football clubs are worth an average of $2.28 billion apiece — an increase of
30% from the ratings in 2019.
“The pain is far from over, with a worsening decline in matchday revenue during the current season, as most of the teams in Europe’s top leagues still permit few fans to attend games,” wrote Mike Ozanian, Forbes’ assistant managing editor.
