European soccer revenues grew by 10% in the 2020-21 season despite most an almost total lack of supporters in stadiums, according to the Deloitte annual survey of the sport's finances. 

The season was like no other with the Covid-19 pandemic curtailing virtually all matchday income, but Deloitte's Annual Review of Football Finance showed the industry had held up across the continent with total revenues of €27.6bn.
