1) In terms of Deloitte’s annual Football Money League, Dortmund was in 2015 ranked as the second richest sports club in Germany, and the 12th richest football team in the world. Moreover, under the directorship of Michael Zorc in the 2010s, BVB have cultivated a reputation for spotting and developing young talent, and have remained focused on developing a youth system. They have also received plaudits for generally adhering to an attacking footballing philosophy.
2) By winning the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup, Bayern Munich became only the second club to win the “sextuple” (winning the League, Cup, and Champions League in one season followed by the Domestic Supercup, UEFA Supercup, and Club World Cup in the next season) or all trophies that a club competes for in a given calendar year. Bayern Munich is one of five clubs to have won all three of UEFA’s main club competitions, the only German club to achieve that. As of May 2022, Bayern Munich is ranked first in UEFA club rankings.
