The study also listed seven European football sides in the top 10, two more than last year, with three American sports clubs making up the list.
Just behind Barca and Madrid are English pair, Manchester City and Chelsea who are third and fourth respectively.
The other football teams to make up the top 10 are AC Milan (seventh), Bayern Munich (eighth) and Inter (tenth).
