Pandemic Set To Cost Top European Clubs Excess

The coronavirus pandemic will cost Europe's 20 richest football clubs over £1.7bn by the end of this season.

The Deloitte Football Money League survey found the clubs had already lost around £976m up to the end of the extended 2019-20 season.

Clubs have suffered considerable losses on both broadcast and matchday revenue.

Barcelona generated more money than any other club in Europe, but still had the second-largest revenue fall in absolute terms.

The Catalan club saw a drop from £741.1m to £627.1m but remain narrowly ahead of La Liga rivals Real Madrid, whose revenue fell from £667.5m to £627m.

Bayern Munich (£556.1m), Manchester United (£509m) and Liverpool (£489.9m) make up the top five with Liverpool moving up from seventh last year, replacing Paris St-Germain.

Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus make up the remainder of the top 10.

Eighteen of the 20 clubs retain their places from last year's survey - with Zenit St Petersburg (15th - £207.4m) and Eintracht Frankfurt (20th - £152.6) replacing AS Roma and West Ham United.

In a statement, Abramovich said: "This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have an excellent personal relationship with Frank and I have the utmost respect for him.

"He is a man of great integrity and has the highest of work ethics. However, under current circumstances we believe it is best to change managers.

"On behalf of everyone at the club, the board and personally, I would like to thank Frank for his work as head coach and wish him every success in the future. He is an important icon of this great club and his status here remains undiminished. He will always be warmly welcomed back at Stamford Bridge."
