While the Champions League final will determine the best team in Europe, financial service company KPMG put their auditing skills to work to decide who the richest clubs on the continent are.

Manchester United and Real Madrid are the most valuable clubs in Europe, according to a study of the 32 most valuable teams by auditing behemoth KPMG. Catalan giants Barcelona come in close in third whilst big gaps  follow to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in 4th and then Arsenal in 5th.

With five Premier League clubs in the top ten, English clubs make up 40 percent of the total value before even taking into account the £5.1 billion television deal that will kick in next season.

Modern football has changed the way the game is promoted to supporters. What happens on the pitch is now less significant than how the club is dealt with off it. Neither Manchester United or Real Madrid have won a league title between them in the past three seasons but they are the two most valuable clubs on the planet.

These top earning clubs have more fans over the world than any of their rivals and must do everything they can to keep interest in their club as high as possible. And as for tonight on the pitch its a good chance for Real Madriad to prove to those fans that their loyalty and interest is worth it.
