Real Madrid have been named the most valuable football club in the world and 13th in the world overall.

Forbes have given the reigning La Liga and Champions League holders a whopping $5.1 billion valuation, a 41 per cent increase from five years ago.

Los Blancos are one of the most successful teams in Europe and defeated Liverpool in the Champions League final in May to win their 14th major European honour.

Two places behind in 15th are bitter rivals Barcelona, who despite their financial troubles in recent years, are still worth a cool $5 billion.
