Recent figures have revealed that Manchester City have the fourth most valuable brand in world football, with a brand value of $905m (£687m).
City are only beaten by Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona as well as arch-rivals Manchester United, who top the rankings with a value of $1.17b (£888m).
The Sky Blues remain in the same position as last year, despite their brand value increasing by 13%.
City Football Group’s brand influence, however, is only 8th in the world, with a BSI score of 83/100. That sees them beaten by fellow English clubs Arsenal, Liverpool and aforementioned rivals Manchester United.
The Citizens’ brand rating is AAA- – the same as it was in last year’s summary.
Pep Guardiola has had a big influence on the 2016 results, with Bayern Munich dropping from 2nd to 5th in the overall rankings partly because of his departure.
In the coming years, City will look to establish themselves among the top brands in world football.
