YouTube: subscribers and video views of clubs in the European Top 5 leagues as of 01/11/2015

FC Barcelona (Liga BBVA), which reached almost 2 million subscribers (1.99 million) on the YouTube platform, is the most active club of the European Top 5 leagues with 411.3 million video views, according to data compiled by News Tank Football on 01/11/2015. The club's rival, Real Madrid CF, with 1.85 million subscribers, is the second most active club in Europe on the platform.

Manchester City FC (Premier League), which has 500,000 subscribers, is the top English club on YouTube, and the third most active in Europe. In Ligue 1, the number of aggregate subscribers is gradually approaching 400,000, but remains the lowest total of the five major championships. This mark reflects the low proportion of French clubs present on YouTube (50%, 10 of 20 clubs).
