Arsenal now make more money on match days than any club in the world

Arsenal are generating more money on match-days than any club in the world — and have overtaken Chelsea as the top financial power in London for the first time in six years, according to figures released by Deloitte.


The extra revenue brought in by their 61,000-seater Emirates Stadium, opened in 2006, is enabling them to lead Europe's biggest clubs in money generated for each home game.

They made £101.84million last year, narrowly ahead of Real Madrid, who made £100.12m from games at the Bernabeu, and Barcelona, with a total of £90.17m made from the Nou Camp.

Manchester United are next on the list, generating £87.96m from Old Trafford while Chelsea are sixth with £71.84m made from Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool (£57.85m), Manchester City (£43.98m) and Tottenham (£41.83m) make it into the top 10 in eighth, ninth and 10th respectively.
