Who is the most popular club in football? For the most part, Manchester United are the most popular team in football, they are the club with the most fans in the world, and Manchester United has always been at the top of the list of shirt sales. However, this seems to have changed now, and the open-air stands have recently counted the 2021 football club shirt sales rankings, with Bayern rising to the top of the table and Manchester United slipping to the fourth position. Without further ado, look at the specific data.
As shown here, the highest number of shirts sold in 2021 was Bayern, who sold 3.25 million shirts, followed by Real Madrid's 3.05 million, Liverpool's 2.45 million, Fourth Manchester United's 1.95 million, followed by Juve's 1.42 million, sixth Barcelona's 1.34 million, Chelsea's 1.31 million, Eighth Dort's 1.22 million, Paris' 1.18 million, and Manchester City's 1.08 million. As can be seen from the list, Bayern are the most popular team in 2021, after all, their record is the best.
Of course, this list is still a big gap compared with last year, in the 2020 football shirt sales rankings, Real Madrid is the existence of the top of the list, followed by Barca, the third is Manchester United, the fourth to the tenth are Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, Juve and Tottenham Hotspur. As can be seen, Bayern's shirt sales have grown rapidly, they have risen from seventh to first, and Liverpool have also surpassed Manchester United to rise to third. Tottenham, on the other hand, fell out of the top ten and was replaced by Ligue 1's Grand Paris.
Of course, shirt sales are closely related to the performance of the team, and in the past one or two years, Bayern's performance has been very good. In particular, the team's number one star, Levan, who also won the World Footballer of the Year award. And the Premier League giants Manchester United, in recent years, the ranking is getting lower and lower, they even handed over the first place in the Premier League to Liverpool, which also has a lot to do with the team's poor performance in recent seasons, is not sure whether Manchester United can return to the first place in the future? And Milan, Inter and other teams in the traditional European giants, I don't know when they will return to the top ten?
