Liverpool have become the top-earning Premier League club for the first time, according to analysis from financial firm Deloitte.

The Reds won the English top-flight title last season and generated 836m euros (£702m) in revenue - more than any other English side.

Manchester United fell to their lowest ever position in what is the 29th edition of the Deloitte Football Money League.

Real Madrid again top the list with 1.2bn euros (£1.01bn), despite not winning the Champions League or La Liga last season, as both Manchester clubs dropped down the list.

There are six Premier League clubs in the top 10 and 15 in the top 30, but for the first time there is no English team in the top four.

Barcelona were second, moving back into the top three for the first time since 2019-20 after generating 975m euros (£819m), despite playing away from their Nou Camp stadium last season as it was renovated.

Bayern Munich are third on 861m euros (£723m), Champions League winners Paris St-Germain fourth on 837m euros (£703m) and Liverpool fifth.

Overall, the revenue of the top 20 clubs went up by 11% to a record 12.4bn euros (£10.4bn).
