Two of La Liga’s leading clubs feature prominently in the top places of the clubs valued highest in world football at present.
That’s according to American outlet CNBC, who have this week provided a breakdown of the numbers.
Real Madrid, unsurprisingly, top the entire list, with Los Blancos’ continued dominance on the continent having given rise to a current valuation of $6.7 billion.
Next up, despite their long-standing woes as a club, come Premier League heavyweights Manchester United. The Red Devils are considered to be worth $6 billion on the current market.
Rounding out the podium places are Real Madrid’s arch rivals, Barcelona, who, amid a potentially historic campaign to date, come in at $5.5 billion according to CNBC.
Looking further down the list, Premier League champions Liverpool take the no.4 spot ($5.4 billion), ahead of Manchester City in 5th ($5.2 billion).
Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid, meanwhile, round out the Spanish representation in the top 25, sitting 12th, with a valuation of $2.1 billion.
