Real Madrid Becomes First Club to Earn Billion-Euro Revenue

Real Madrid has become the first football club to generate over a billion euros in revenue during a single season, according to Deloitte's annual Football Money League report. The club's $216 million revenue lead over second-place Manchester City is the largest gap Deloitte has ever recorded. Madrid's financial success stems primarily from its dramatically renovated Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which doubled matchday revenues to $258 million. Since 2018, Madrid has invested over $1 billion in stadium improvements, creating a state-of-the-art venue with an undulating metal roof, expanded VIP areas, and a retractable pitch. The stadium now hosts diverse events, including performances by Taylor Swift and an upcoming NFL game. Commercial revenues continue to dominate, accounting for 44 percent of total revenue among top clubs. English teams remain strong, occupying six of the top 10 spots, driven by Premier League television revenues. […]

Mbappe Finally Breaks His Silence On Real Madrid Struggles

Kylian Mbappe has attributed his recent improvement at Real Madrid to a mental transformation, following initial struggles after his high-profile transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. The French forward, who experienced inconsistent form in his early months at Madrid, has recently rediscovered his peak performance. "You always have to be calm and focus on your game and what you can improve," Mbappe stated at a press conference before Madrid's Champions League match with RB Salzburg. After missing crucial penalties against Liverpool and Athletic Bilbao in late 2024, Mbappe acknowledged hitting "the bottom." However, he has since rebounded impressively, scoring eight goals in his last ten appearances across all competitions. "It was more of a mental thing...

Rashford Breaks Silence On Manchester United Future After Month Long Exile

Marcus Rashford maintains hope of returning to Manchester United's first team despite his ongoing absence from the squad. The 27-year-old forward hasn't played since being taken off during United's Europa League win against Viktoria Plzen on December 12. Following that match, head coach Ruben Amorim questioned Rashford's training performances. Since then, Rashford's only inclusion in a matchday squad came as an unused substitute during the 3-0 home loss to Newcastle on December 30. After United's 3-1 defeat to Brighton at Old Trafford on Sunday, Amorim's comment that "it's his choice" sparked speculation that Rashford had requested not to be considered for selection. However, club sources indicate this was a misinterpretation of Amorim's words, suggesting the former Sporting manager was simply stating that Rashford's future depends on his own actions. Sources close to Rashford emphasize that he remains committed to playing […]

Manchester United Pays Last Respect To Club Legend Denis Law

Manchester United honored legendary striker Denis Law, who passed away at 84, before their Sunday match against Brighton with a moving ceremony at Old Trafford. Law, who netted 237 goals in 404 appearances during his remarkable tenure from 1962 to 1973, left an indelible mark on the club's history. His legacy was commemorated as flags flew at half-mast and players donned black armbands, while the traditional sound of bagpipes playing "Flower of Scotland" accompanied the teams onto the field. The stadium fell into a respectful silence as a poem was read, with notable United figures in attendance including Sir Alex Ferguson, Pat Crerand, Alex Stepney, and Brian Kidd. Stadium announcer Alan Keegan captured the sentiment with poetic words: "Beyond the goals the man stood tall, a heart of gold who inspired all. He's still the King of the Stretford End." […]
