1. Real Madrid ($639m) -- The Spanish side, awash with international stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, remains in the top spot again with a revenue for 2013-14 edging closer to $700m.

2. Manchester United ($602.3m) -- Performances may have dipped on the pitch for the club under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal but United is now a close second to Real Madrid.

3. Bayern Munich ($566.8m) --The structure of the German giants is seen as a benchmark for most clubs but, despite that, Bayern slipped behind United in the top 10 last year.

4. Barcelona ($563.5m) -- Revenue has stayed fairly static for Barcelona in the past 12 months but, while it has plateaued slightly, the likes of United and Bayern have leapfrogged them.

5. Paris St Germain ($551.5m) -- Increasingly big players among the biggest clubs in the world thanks to their Qatari backers and key playing personnel such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

6. Manchester City ($481.9m) -- Another club dependent on an oil rich Arab nation is City, who once more slot in at sixth in the top 10.

7. Chelsea ($451.1m) -- The London club's revenue has shot up to nearly $500m but Jose Mourinho's men remain in seventh spot overall.

8. Arsenal ($417.9m) -- The Gunners, who have been spearheaded on the pitch this season by Alexis Sanchez, are the second-ranked London club.

9. Liverpool ($355.8) -- One of the biggest movers on the list has been Premier League club Liverpool, shooting up from 12th place a year ago to inside the top 10.

10. Juventus ($325.0m) -- Rounding off the top 10 is the only Serie A side to make the financial grade with an almost equal revenue in 2013-14 as the previous year.
