Barcelona's superstars remain the best-paid players in the world of sports, according to new figures collated by industry analysts Sporting Intelligence.
Barcelona's first team squad earn an average of £101,160 a week. Their conquerors in theChampions League, Chelsea, can boast of fourth position. Abramovich pays an average of £79,197 to the first team squad.
They are not the best-paid English Premier League team, however. Manchester City, who are currently topping the EPL, have leaped from 10th to 3rd place with players earning £86,280 per week.
City's numbers represent a 26 per cent year on-year increase in average first team pay and demonstrate the depth of the pockets of oil-rich owner Sheikh Mansour.
Manchester United (£63,514) are in 11th place. Real Madrid are second with their players earning £90,859 each, over £10,000 a week less than Barcelona.
India have three representatives in the top 50. Kolkata have dropped seven places to 36 with weekly wages of £48,560. Mumbai have risen five slots to 39. Pune creep into 50th place.
The annual figures are on pro rata basis since it is only held in a two-month period.
