In the 12 months before the pandemic, the club made a profit of £10.1m.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "His Highness Sheikh Mansour’s vision, set in 2008, is the reality we are living thirteen years later– we are a sustainable and socially responsible organisation, finding and developing talent and competing for trophies on both the domestic and European stage.

"It is that long-term vision that gave us the confidence a year ago to state an intended return to profitability in our second season impacted by Covid-19, even in a season played without fans.

"Despite the many unknowns in the evolving global pandemic, we knew then that was a realistic objective, thanks in large part to effective financial decision-making, excellent football performance and the support of our partners and shareholders.
