In terms of fanbase, trophies, history and players. I think most of us can agree the top 9 should look a little bit like this(in no particular order):
-Real Madrid -Barcelona -Bayern Munich -Liverpool -Manchester United -AC Milan -Inter Milan -Juventus -Ajax
But who would you place to make it 10? Maybe Arsenal, Benfica, Chelsea, Porto, Man City, PSG? Maybe a South American club? Who do you choose?
Real Madrid
Barca
Milan
Liverpool
Juve
Inter
Man U
Chelsea
Ajax
Arsenal
Real Madrid, Liverpool, AC Milan, Manchester United, Flamengo, Boca Juniors, Benfica, Bayern Munich, Juventus and fc barcelona would be my top 10
Real Madrid Liverpool Manchester United Barcelona Bayern AC Milan Juventus Inter Arsenal Ajax
The order can be changed a bit in places but I’d say this is roughly correct
Probably St Louis City SC
like Alen Bokšić said:" I played for HAJDUK and a few minor clubs
I would let south american teams out, because they are another culture and it’s hard to compare, but it would be between Benfica and Arsenal, and I would incline towards benfica because they have UCLs and also they had Balon d’our winners that I think it’s huge
Boca Juniors
Although City doesn’t belong there, it could be somehow justified if some stupid fan puts city in top 10, but PSG doesn’t even belong in the top 25 clubs of all time.
I’m a city fan, it 100% isn’t the top 10 of all time. That’s just stupid. Maybe for recent seasons just on account of the great performance, but the reality is there’s many more clubs that have held more prominence throughout the years
Real Madrid - the obvious choice and is the no 1 club currently
Barcelona - Ofcourse someone can become great only with a great rival on the other side
Man Utd - Now they are shit but they dominated for more than two decades. They are very big in Africa and Asia especially
Liverpool - Even though they have been mediocre in PL for some decades they attracted large set of fan base especially in Australia, US , parts of Africa and Asia. Ofcourse they are comeback kings which made them get a lot of support especially in the past decade
Ac milan - A team that is still big because of nostalgia. So many wonderful players and glory. Sad that serie A fell of like it did.
Bayern - Everyone fears of Bayern and that is their brand of football. They will always be big because even though only a few watch bundesliga religiously they are big in European competitions. They humiliate teams making them attract a big set of audience
From then it becomes hard to rank because they are so many good teams with rich histories and passionate and fan bases. Right now I would say arsenal, Chelsea, inter Milan and city. I don’t think people outside Italy and Netherlands care about Juventus or ajax like they do for PL teams.
Inter Miami, Al Nassr missing from the list
I don’t know about top 10, but the first place is between Tottenham and Spurs.
top 15 biggest football clubs: EU (7) real, liverpool, barca, united, juventus, milan, bayern
South america (5) river plate, boca juniors, santos, palemras, flamengo
africa (3) sundowns, ahly, zamalek
Top 7 is pretty easy to me: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern, Milan, Juventus and Liverpool.
I think Chelsea, Arsenal, Inter and Ajax fight for the last three spots.
Galatasaray used to be up there. Super Lig fell off the rails maybe it’s PSG or City now. To round off the 10
- Real madrid
- Bayern munich
- Barcelona
- Man Utd
- Liverpool
- AC Milan
- Juventus
- Ajax
- Arsenal
- PSG
Yes, PSG is a big club with history
If you have to include a French club Marseille are a more fitting choice, at least until PSG wins a Champions League.
