By Nick Harris 23 December 2019 Lionel Messi's Barcelona have retained their status as the best paid team in all of global sport, measured by average basic pay in their first-team squad, according to Sportingintelligence’s Global Sports Salaries Survey (GSSS) for 2019, published today. Barca's average pay is just over £9.8m, with Real Madrid in second place on £8.9m. But arguably the most significant development in the list of best remunerated teams is that Juventus - home to Messi's great generational rival and nemesis, Cristiano Ronaldo - have climbed to No3. Last year Juve were only just inside the top 10 and as recently as 2017-18 they were No32. The reasons for this and a detailed breakdown of 'the working' are included in the full GSSS, available free now as a PDF download.
