GS = Real Madrid. Biggest name in their respective worlds, nothing else to say.
MS = Barcelona. Another enormous name but seen as 2nd to Real Madrid
JPM = Manchester United. One of the biggest names in the world. Doesn't have as many accolades as the above 2 but still competes on a name brand basis.
BofA = Bayern Munich. Very solid name who always competes at the top level, although not seen as big as the above 3.
Citi = Liverpool. Another very solid name who regularly competes at the top level.
Evercore = Manchester City. New kid on the block with a lot of money who now competes at the highest level.
PJT Partners = PSG. Similar story to above but not quite as big.
Lazard = Chelsea. Solid name who performs well - also pays a lot of money similar to the above 2.
Barclays = Juventus. Usually are around competing at the highest level but never really the best.
Rothschild = Arsenal. Performs well domestically but doesn't really do anything outside of it's home market.
Jefferies = Dortmund. Somehow always manages to punch above their weight but so far hasn't been able to break into the big leagues.
UBS = Spurs. They're pretty big but they just embarrass themselves when competing with the best.
Deutsche Bank = Atletico Madrid. Similar story to above. They're pretty big and often compete at the top level but inevitably they end up embarrassing themselves.
Wells Fargo = AC Milan. A huge name but have just fell off now.
HSBC = Inter. Again a huge name but are largely irrelevant now.
CVP/Qatalyst/FTP = Newcastle. New names with a ton of money to spend - will be amongst the biggest soon enough.
BNP Paribas = Marseille. Big name in their own country but irrelevant on the global stage.
SocGen = Lyon. Similar story to above.
Nomura = Everton. Both sizable names who embarrass themselves.
Moelis/PWP = RB Leipzig. New name with money but not on the level of EVR/PJT
HL = Ajax. Level below the top names but outperforms in certain niches (Rx/UCL).
RBC = Benfica. Top name in their respective countries but a cut below the top global players.
Mediobanca = Napoli. Big in Italy but irrelevant on the global stage.
MUFG = Roma. Both mid.
Mizuho = Lazio. Both mid.
Raine Group = Sevilla. Both should be irrelevant but they both somehow win on the global stage (Europa league/raine's recent deals)
Robey Warshaw = Brighton. Seriously outperforms with a very small budget.
This is in terms of club size and historical performance throughout the years - not current performance.
don’t make me pull out my AK-47, its soccer in the LAND OF THE FREE 🇺🇸
It’s football
zero laughs
We don't use AK-47s in the land of the free that's just commie BS
Real Americans use AR-15’s
Bayern is bigger than United and Barkalona
No they're not
Even Liverpool is, Barcelona are 4th/5th at best.
Moelis literally led the Chelsea deal
bro works at ftp
Credit Suisse = Bury FC
Hmm but they were nowhere near that big. Best comparison would be something like when Juventus got relegated to serie B
CS = Leicester, on top of the world a few years ago and now relegated
grown men getting paid to flop like babies, I'll pass
What do you watch baseball?
Congrats on Man Utd
Blud said inter milan is irrelevant when they're playing in the ucl final next weekend☠️☠️
I said it's not based on current performance but either way they should be nowhere near the final and obviously got lucky based on the draw.
Then what are you basing this on? They have historically been better than current form.
Congrats on FTP
Yo, where tf is Brighton...small budget rockstars. Maybe something Robey Warshaw esque?
UBS is too good for Spurs, sorry. The Gunner in me doesn't see them at level. Maybe a bank that only does syndicate deals and makes a documentary of the journey?
True will add them.
Perhaps about spurs but you could give them it based on club value (they're around 10-12th). Also links well the fact they're downsizing their IB + Daniel Levy hates spending money
Lmao that makes sense. I love Levy, let him run the club into the ground.
Congrats on Real Madrid internship!
Acting like real madrid aren't the biggest club in the world
Someone do this with NBA teams
For tennis:
GS = Federer
MS = Djokovic
JPM = Nadal
idk why, it just makes sense
Serious disrespect for HL this list as Ajax has been freaking trash
Also, what do you have against Italian clubs? Napoli and Inter have been fire this season
If you read the post I said it's about club size not current performance. Most Italian clubs are small
Have you ever been to a game outside of the UK? I don't think you have if you have looking at this list... 'historical performance throughout the years' my ass
Did you guys know that Texas is 4x bigger than all of Europe?
Do you know Russia is about 2x the size of USA?
This is false actually
But my comment is true
Thanks
as a liverpool fan, fuck off...i dont wanna be fucking citi
JPM = Manchester City
No
This list is pretty much just 'best football team' = 'best investment bank' - might as well pull up a ranking of each and look at them side by side. Got to add some more context for why ones Madrid and the other is Barcelona for example - some similarities
Should do one for Formula One teams these days
I think you meant to say soccer clubs bruv
It’s literally football you guys should stick to calling the other one ‘American football’ like the rest of the world does
This is genius
Wall Street is located in the United States and we call it "soccer" in these lands
Motherfuckers calling it football like this isn’t an American site that they’re pulling up on their American phones because of the freedom that they’ve been allowed to have because of America.
It’s soccer if we say it’s soccer.
Football was actually invented before America even existed. Cristiano ronaldo is so rich in fact, that his salary (which is bankrolled by the Saudi government) is greater than the GDP of california and NYC put together.
You Americans think that the world revolves around y'all when the fact is that football (aka soccer to all y'all) was invented decades before American football existed as a sport. For fucks sake American football isn't even 'football' y'all run around the field carrying the ball in your hands tackling people lmao. Anyway meant no disrespect but don't go around calling it soccer just because a 300mil out of the worlds 7bil people call it soccer since that's not the sports name and never has been since the day it was created.
Hmm thought PSG would top the list…shout out to PJT Partners
Why? They were nothing before Qatar money
What about RJ
