#6 Real Madrid

FFI Score: 2.579
Just like you guys, even I was dumbfounded seeing Los Blancos' position! Care to know how this became possible? Another astonishing fact is that Real Madrid is the only Spanish club that makes this list, with Barcelona and Atletico missing out.
According to the report compiled by Soccerex, the ownership of the club is its biggest drawback; a reason why they scored a low FFI and ultimately a low rank on the list.
Real Madrid is owned totally by the club members which constitute a non-profitable organisation. But, if they were capitalised via the stock exchange, more lucidly, owned by a business organisation, they would have easily held the crown as financially the most powerful club on earth.
The club has notched impressive figures for their playing and fixed assets. Los Merengues boast the most expensive squad on the list worth €771 million. Obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo is their most precious player, with a market value of €120 million. He is followed by Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Isco.
