Arsenal Top Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United in Matchday Revenue Table

Arsenal bring in more matchday revenue than any other European club, with the Emirates Stadium ranking ahead of Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu, Barcelona's Camp Nou and Manchester United's Old Trafford, based on a study from the 2014-15 campaign. 

According to Deloitte (h/t Agence France-Presse via Yahoo Sports), the Gunners generated €132 million (roughly £116 million) that season, narrowly beating Los Blancos. The Bernabeu seats over 20,000 more fans than Arsenal's home ground, which fits just over 60,000.

Here's a look at the full top 10, which contains five Premier League clubs, two from La Liga, two from the Bundesliga and Paris Saint-Germain as the only Ligue 1 representatives:

Club	Stadium	League	Matchday Revenue (in Euros)
Arsenal	Emirates Stadium	Premier League	132 million
Real Madrid	Santiago Bernabeu	La Liga	129.8 million
Barcelona	Camp Nou	La Liga	116.9 million
Manchester United	Old Trafford	Premier League	114 million
Chelsea	Stamford Bridge	Premier League	93.1 million
Bayern Munich	Allianz Arena	Bundesliga	89.8 million
Paris Saint-Germain	Parc des Princes	Ligue 1	78 million
Liverpool	Anfield	Premier League	75 million
Manchester City	Etihad Stadium	Premier League	57 million
Borussia Dortmund	Signal Iduna Park	Bundesliga	54.2 million

Per the report, the £116 million revenue represents 30 percent of Arsenal's annual income, a huge figure that more than justifies the club's decision to move out of the iconic Highbury Stadium in favour of a new home.

But while those numbers are something to be proud of, there's a dark side to the figures as well. As reported by MailOnline's Sami Mokbel, manager Arsene Wenger was forced to defend the club's massive ticket prices earlier this year.

Per the report, which calculated the ticket prices for the 2015-16 season, the Gunners were the only Premier League club charging more than £1,000 for their cheapest season tickets and well over £2,000 for their most expensive ones.

But Arsenal's financial reserves haven't resulted in many high-priced players arriving at the Emirates Stadium, another issue fans have complained about for years. According to the Press Association (h/t the Mirror), that's another matter Wenger had to address over the summer:

"

Why do you say I'm reluctant? If I buy you tomorrow for £45 million I have spent £45million and I would have done well because I will have listened to you but spending the money in itself is not a quality. Spending the money buying a top player is different and we are ready to do it.

I just said I'd spend £300 million if I find the player and I had £300 million. Do not forget we are a club who has 600 employees who we have to have a responsibility to as well. It's a bit surprising you come out of games and don't speak about football. You have to speak about money.

"

In contrast, clubs like Real, Barcelona and United all have a tendency to spend freely in the market―the Red Devils paid a record fee for midfielder Paul Pogba just last summer, per ESPN FC's Arindam Rej.

The Premier League's financial superiority is clearly visible in the top 10, and Tottenham Hotspur are likely to join that list when their new stadium, which will seat over 60,000, opens as planned in 2018.

No Serie A clubs made the list, which can be chalked up to poor attendance, per Transfermarkt.co.uk, and the fact that only a few clubs own their stadiums.
