MOST READ


Futebol Finance published its annual rankings of the best-supported clubs in Europe. The rankings, based on average attendance last season, have Manchester United in first place, ahead of other soccer giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. United's average attendance of 75,304 last season helped the club leapfrog Real Madrid, which dropped from first to fifth. English clubs make up 13 of the top 50, as do German clubs. While attendances dropped in 2007-08, they were on the rise again last season despite financial crisis.

Top 10 (2008-09):

1 Manchester United 75,304 2 Borussia Dortmund 74,748 3 Barcelona 71,045 4 Real Madrid 70,816 5 Bayern Munich 69,000 6 Schalke 61,442 7 Arsenal 60,040 8 AC Milan 59,757 9 Celtic 57,366 10 Hamburg SV 54,811
