La Liga sides Real Madrid and Barcelona have topped Sport +Markt’s
Football Merchandising Report only weeks after finishing first and
second in the Deloitte Football Money League.
The Spanish giants helped the 10 top clubs make €1.2bn in turnover from
retail sales of merchandising items during the 2009-10 season, with only
two English sides in the top 10 - Liverpool (3rd) and Manchester United
(6th). La Liga also surpassed the Barclays Premier League in total
turnover, generating €190.1 million to the Premier League’s €167.5
million.
But the Barclays Premier League had a more even distribution between its
clubs whilst Barcelona and Real accounted for nearly 80% of La Liga’s
total.
Merchandise such as scarves, flags and shirts were included with replica shirts making up for 57% of merchandising sales.

2. Barcelona
3. Liverpool
4. Bayern Munich
5. Olympique Marseille
6. Manchester United
