London ( CNN ) Can anybody stop Real Madrid , on the football pitch and off it ? For the 10th year running , European champion Real Madrid is the world 's richest club in the annual Football Money League published by accountants Deloitte , with a revenue of $ 639 million . Money clearly talks in European football with the combined revenues of the top 20 clubs in the rich list rising by a staggering 14 % over the last year to $ 7 billion . All of the top five clubs for the 2013-14 financial year saw their revenue surpass the $ 500-million mark for the first time on a list dominated by the English Premier League , home to five of this year 's top 10 and eight of the 20-strong list . As a result of the latest Premier League broadcast rights deal , all of its teams have made it into the world 's top 40 highest-earning clubs . This year is the 18th running of Deloitte 's Money League , which has been dominated by Real for a decade , although Manchester United catapulted past both Barcelona ( $ 563.5 million ) and Bayern Munich ( $ 566.8 million ) to move into second place with revenues of $ 602.3 million , a hike in revenue of some $ 110 million . United has been below par on the pitch in recent times , under former manager David Moyes and his successor Louis van Gaal , but figures show an 83 % growth in commercial revenue over the last three years . That said , United is expected to slide in next year 's Money League having missed out on Champions League revenues in this current season . Of the clubs on the list only United 's `` noisy neighbors '' Manchester City -- as Alex Ferguson once described them -- enjoyed a greater spike in year-on-year revenue , with a $ 114 million rise from 2012-13 to cement their place in sixth on the list . `` The growth experienced within the top 20 has been remarkable , '' said Dan Jones , partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte . `` Commercial and broadcast revenues are now more important than ever to clubs to enable them to compete financially and put the best talent on the pitch . `` This has led to further dominance from the 'big five ' European leagues -- England , Germany , Spain , Italy and France -- this year , with just Turkey 's Galatasaray making it in from outside of those countries . `` Winning the Champions League for an unprecedented 10th time and staying at the top of the Money League made 2013-14 the year of the 'Doble Décima ' for Real Madrid . `` The club 's continued success on the field is complemented by its financial strength and their accomplishment emphasizes their position as the most successful European club side of all time . However , their commercial supremacy is being challenged by Manchester United among others . '' Barcelona 's revenue plateaued last year , seeing them drop from second spot behind arch-rival Real to fourth below Manchester United and Bayern . Paris Saint-Germain completes the top five while Juventus , in 10th , is the only side from Italy 's Serie A to make the top 10 , with Premier League sides Chelsea , Arsenal and Liverpool rounding off the top clubs in seventh , eighth and ninth respectively in revenue terms .
