There’s been a lot of debate on this site in recent weeks about which club is the world’s biggest and what it actually means to be a ‘big’ club.
This was on the back of an article we published a few weeks ago and since then, we’ve been running a poll asking you who you think is in fact the ‘biggest’ club on the planet, taking all of the criteria that we discussed into account. The results of this are below:
Manchester United 37%
Celtic 21%
Barcelona 20%
Liverpool 11%
Real Madrid 7%
The rest of the teams in the poll were AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Boca Juniors and Santos, but they all received 1% or less each.
So despite United coming out on top with 37%, it was hardly a landslide victory for any of these sides. Of course, we have to take into account the fact that a lot of fans simply vote for their favourite team regardless of the criteria presented, but I do think it’s possibly the case that both United and Celtic have arguably the biggest followings in world football. However my own vote was Real Madrid taking all things into account.
It’s simply one of these arguments that no-one can ever truly win isn’t it? A classic pub argument! Many thanks for all who took part in the poll and feedback on the original article.
