TV Money: Liverpool Come Out on Top as European Clubs Ranked by Television Revenue in 2018/19

​Liverpool were Europe's highest earners in terms of television revenue during the 2018/19 season, with only two non-English clubs making the top 20.

​Barcelona claim seventh position after raking in £130m last term, with fellow Spaniards ​Real Madrid three below after ​Everton and ​Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Research from ​Swiss Ramble shows a clear domination of the TV revenue market by ​Premier League teams, England's power meaning no sides from Italy or Germany make the list.

Even Cardiff City - who were relegated to the Championship in May - are above European heavyweights like ​Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, ​Juventus and ​Atletico Madrid as a result of the Premier League's incredible TV deal money and its equal distribution.
