Higher than any club in the world and in history of football. The three most important sources are merchandising and marketing, tickets, TV rights. 31, 31 and 32%. The other 6% came from friendly matches and sportive performances.

Clearly, the most financially successful club in the world. FFP is not even a distant concern for us.

MADRID — Spanish giants Real Madrid claimed Friday world-beating revenue for the sports world in 2010/11.

Real, which is leading the first division early in the new season, said sales shot up 8.6 percent to 480.2 million euros ($663 million) in the year to June 30.

"It is the biggest sum of any sporting institution in the world," the club said in a statement.

Net profit surged 31.7 percent to 31.6 million euros.

The club said it also managed to trim its heavy debt load. Net debt fell 30.6 percent in the year but was still high at 169.7 million euros as of June 30, it said.

Real Madrid rakes in money from the stadium, television rights, marketing, membership fees and sales of players.

But the huge sums that Real Madrid and archrival Barcelona claw in from the sale of television rights has sparked a backlash from other less fortunate clubs in the Spanish league.

Real Madrid and Barcelona receive about 140 million euros ($197 million) a year each from television rights, while small clubs such as Levante, Malaga or Real Sociedad get just 12 million euros.

Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido invited a dozen clubs to a meeting September 8 to seek a new distribution of the TV money that would sharply reduce Barca and Real's share.

They called for the TV rights sales to be centralised by the Professional Football League (LFP) and shared out more fairly.

Sevilla vice president Jose Maria Cruz said in a statement Thursday that Real Madrid had reacted coolly to the plans in an LFP meeting and that most other clubs had not backed up Sevilla's position.

"It shows, once again, that consensus is only possible when we all defer to what is proposed by Real Madrid and Barcelona, otherwise consensus is unfeasible," he complained.

"But we are not giving up and we won't cease in our determination or swallow it however much they attack us."

We'll have to give up some for the good of Spanish football in the near future. By bringing down debt, turning a profit every year, and keeping debt low, we will be able to take the short term revenue hit when that comes.

I think the hard part at this time is selling La Liga as a whole for a price that would great for us madrid. I mean we should push for at least 70M a year, hopefully more but in the end there will be some tough negotiations to be done. Plus our stadium expansion should also cover the lost income stream
