Revenues at Europe's 20 leading clubs have increased again despite the economic crisis shaking many countries across the continent, business advisory firm Deloitte said in a report published on Thursday.

Deloitte's annual report on European soccer revenues reveals that once again Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona top the game's money league.

The top seven places for the latest report – based on season 2010-11 – remain unchanged from last year's, with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan maintaining the status quo.
