Real Madrid CF

Real Madrid, Barcelona's arch-rival, is right behind them with a valuation of $4.75 billion, just $10 million less than Barcelona. It's difficult to comprehend the size of this Spanish squad for individuals who don't watch soccer or grasp its extent. This club topped the list of the most valuable sports teams in 2013, 2014, and 2015.

Man United surpassed them in terms of valuation in 2018, but Real is back with a vengeance in 2019. Before moving to Juventus last year and Manchester United this year, the Spanish soccer team won the UEFA Champions League in 2016, 2017, and 2018. They were captained by Cristiano Ronaldo, football's highest-paid and most following athlete on social media. Last year, revenue was $112 million.
