“It’s a study that associates several criteria,” KPMG Head of Sports Network Jean-Luc Leroux said.
“These include the popularity of clubs with their number of followers
on social media, their sporting potential given the value of their
players, TV rights and their ownership situation, notably of the
stadiums.
“It allows clubs to compare themselves with each other, to see where
they are in the European hierarchy and how they progress from one season
to another.”
