Real, who occupied the top spot for the last three years, are ranked in second place ahead of arch rivals Barcelona, with the New York Yankees and Manchester United making up the top five.

Further down the list, Arsenal are ranked in 23rd place, Manchester City in 28th, Chelsea in 36th and Liverpool in 41st place.
