Results on the pitch haven’t gone to plan this season, but for anyone seeking confirmation that Liverpool have firmly reestablished themselves as one of the financially dominant players in English and European football over the past decade the latest football rich list from Deloitte would seem to put proof to that. Having been a top ten mainstay through the Jürgen Klopp era, for the first time the Reds are listed as the top English club—though on this occasion that’s only good enough for fifth overall. Real Madrid and Barcelona top the list, unsurprisingly and once again, followed by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. Aston Villa, Newcastle, and West Ham also make it into the list, meaning the Premier League have nine of the 20 richest clubs in Europe at the moment. Spain and Germany have three, as does Italy—though no Italian side is in the top ten—with one for France and one, Benfica, for Portugal to round out the top twenty.
