TRACKING STATISTICS
One of the prime objectives during the 18-year life of the UEFA Champions League has been to offer the media a good back-up service in terms of match documentation and publications such as this Statistics Handbook. Advances in technology have paved the way for continual improvements and, in recent seasons, the introduction of a tracking system at UEFA Champions League matches has been translated into a greater amount of statistical information ready for distribution within minutes of the final whistle. However, reporters tend to see the data related exclusively to the match they are covering or to the fixtures played on a given day. Now, thanks to our colleagues from Delta Tre (who have been providing on-screen graphics since the birth of the UEFA Champions League and who introduced the on-site tracking system), a review of some of the season-long statistics can be incorporated, for the first time, into the Statistics Handbook.
DISTANCE COVERED TOP 50 When FC Schalke 04 bowed out of the 2010/11 campaign after the return leg of the semi-final at Old Trafford, Ral Gonzlez was a few weeks short of his 34th birthday. The fact that he covered more ground than any other player represents a tribute to his fitness and dedication to his profession. He also provides a striking illustration of another tendency to emerge from analysis of the chart: that attackers are, these days, expected to be mobile and to operate on a wide front, rather than to perform as static target men - a fact borne out by the presence of Cristian Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, David Villa and Wayne Rooney among the top twenty.

PASSES COMPLETED TOP 50 Its maybe not much of a surprise to see FC Barcelona players occupying the top seven places, with midfielder Xavi Hernndez supplying and average which is not far short of 100 passes per game. However, it is more surprising to see Gerard Piqu among the front-runners - how many other central defenders appear among the top 50? - along with Lionel Messi, whose renown has been built on his goalscoring ability but who also makes invaluable contributions to his teams combination play. He is one of the few attackers to appear on a list which offers revealing evidence about styles of play within the UEFA Champions League.

TEAMS Average distance covered In this case, the statistics are thought-provoking in that they offer invitations to make interpretations. Is it a coincidence, for example, that seven of the top ten teams in terms of average distance covered per match were eliminated in the group stage? How significant is it that the top two were drawn into the same group as FC Barcelona and, arguably, were obliged to apply themselves more strenuously to pursuit of the ball? Is it coincidence that three of the four semi-finalists were among the bottom ten in terms of distance covered?
Team Distances in metres Games
TEAMS Passes Attempted Average per Match The 2010/11 UEFA Champions League highlighted the trend towards a passing game based on elaborate approach work rather than direct supply to front-runners. Among the teams who attempted the highest number of passes per game, 13 of the top 15 were clubs who progressed beyond the group stage into the knockout rounds whereas all but one of the bottom ten were eliminated before Christmas. The exception to the general rule was FC Schalke 04, who reached the semi-finals with a style of play which was much more direct than most of the other successful teams.

TEAMS Passing Accuracy Average per Match Terminology comes into play in this sector, with the word accuracy used to describe a pass which is successfully received by a team-mate. In other words, the pass may be accurately directed towards a team-mate but, for the purposes of this chart, it becomes inaccurate if it is intercepted. Three of the four semi-finalists are among the front-runners, with FC Barcelona a head - if not shoulders - above the rest. A glance at the bottom of the chart reveals that anything under 70% in terms of passing accuracy is an invitation to elimination during the group stage.

TEAMS Possession Average per Match FC Barcelonas average is in line with their statistics over the last half-decade or so and it is no surprise that the three Spanish contestants were among the front-runners. Once again, FC Schalke 04 provided an exception to the general rule in that, like the 2010 champions, FC Internazionale Milano, they were comfortable without the ball. The data are obviously influenced by the nature of the opposition, with the averages of FC Barcelonas opponents dragged down by their scant share of the ball against the eventual champions. Even Real Madrid CF, for example, had only 28% of the ball during the home leg of their semi-final against Pep Guardiolas team.

TEAMS Longest Distances in one Match Club by Club The table refers to the greatest distance covered by each club during the 2010/11 campaign. The interesting factor here is that a high percentage of teams reached their zenith during matches they lost - FC Barcelona providing a prime example. The champions record for the season was registered in London when they suffered their only defeat of the campaign against Arsenal FC. Another interesting feature is that Tottenham Hotspurs three group rivals and their quarter-final opponents Real Madrid all registered their maximum for the season against Harry Redknapps team.

TEAMS Use of Substitutes How strong a squad do you need in order to compete in the UEFA Champions League? Until comparatively recently, clubs tended to encounter difficulties in combining domestic and European successes. But now the likes of Manchester United FC and FC Barcelona seem to have come to terms with this challenge. More and more coaches are now juggling workloads and rotating their squads with a view to maintaining freshness and sharpness. In the 2010/11 season, the number of players used ranged from 17 to 28 and, during matches, the number of changes also differing substantially from club to club. Ten coaches made their full quota of substitutions, whereas the Rangers FC manager, Walter Smith, used only half of his opportunities to inject new players, with all nine substitutions coming in the last half-hour.
