Arsenal tops Champions League revenue charts

Paris - Arsenal has never won the Champions League but it reigns over the continent when it comes to matchday revenue, with takings at its Emirates Stadium greater than anywhere else in Europe.

Their 60,000-capacity ground in north London, opened in 2006, generated €132 million in the 2014-15 season from ticket sales and fan spending, according to a study by Deloitte.

That is the equivalent of 30 percent of its total annual income and puts the Gunners just ahead of Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu, with its capacity of over 80,000, which generated €129.8 million in the same season.

Of the 10 most profitable stadiums in terms of matchday revenue, five are in the English Premier League, two in Spain, two in Germany and one in France.
