Great repercussion of the Champions League in the media and on social networks

This season of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, which has just ended with Lyon as champions, not only brought a new game format but also laid the foundations for new records in terms of audience both in stadiums and in the media and social networks .

The quarter-final match between Barça and Real Madrid was witnessed by 91,553 spectators, a UEFA and FIFA record, at the Camp Nou, and that incredible figure was surpassed when 91,648 saw the azulgranas beat Wolfsburg by 5 -1 in the first leg of the semifinals at their stadium. The match broke records worldwide, in football between clubs. In total, no less than 179,734 fans attended the four semi-final matches.

Official UEFA Women’s Champions League operator DAZN and its YouTube channel recorded 6 million views over the course of the semi-finals. This brings the figure for the season to 55.9 million streams and views across the two DAZN platforms.

There were 1.3 million video views across all platforms for the @UWCL account, as well as a 114% increase in impressions compared to the same stage of the competition last year. Meanwhile, Paris’s Jordyn Huitema starred in the first Women’s Champions League Instagram Live, and there was also a soccer ball giveaway on Instagram Reels to celebrate Wendie Renard’s 100th birthday.
