Barcelona drop to second place in Forbes' list of most valuable clubs in the world
Barcelona have dropped to second place in Forbes' 2022 list of the world's most valuable football clubs.
Real Madrid top the ranking, valued at $5.1 billion, just $100 million more than Blaugrana.
Interestingly, last year the situation was exactly the opposite.
What is more, neither Manchester City ($4.25B), nor Paris Saint-Germain ($3.3B), made it to the top 5, despite being owned by sheikhs rather than club members, as in the case of La Liga sides.
Manchester United ($4.6B) and Liverpool ($4.45B) rank 3rd and 4th respectively.
Bayern Munich (4.26B) complete the top 5 most valuable football clubs.

La Liga have unveiled its salary caps for the 2022/23 season.
Barcelona are healthy again as their cap rose from minus €144m to €656m+ in less than a year. This is truly impressive.
Only Real Madrid - €683m - are allowed to spend a bit more on players' salaries.
Barcelona partly fixed their financial situation through activating economic levers, i.e. selling part of their TV rights and assets. This is the decision that allows the club to function as usual financially – at least for a short term.
