With the industrialization of football, not only the sporting success of the clubs, but also their financial performance has become subjects of discussion. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of five major football clubs in the UEFA by comparing their liquidity, leverage and profitability ratios for the 2015-2019 period. The data is obtained from the clubs' websites and annual reports. It is concluded that Manchester City FC has the highest financial performance while Juventus FC has the lowest. It is also determined that liquidity and short-term debt/equity ratios are the most important performance indicators for football clubs.
