Chapions League Final, Opta's analysis of the final includes some great post-match facts

Champions League Final around 220 countries in the world last seen in Barcelona but won by a landslide in statistics as a victory Saturday night because it was on the pitch?

The Catalans' 3-1 Manchester United PEP Guardiola winning a manager and as a coach in his first three years earned his 10th trophy as second Champions League trophy.

Opta (this is their twitter feed) in which about 70 countries in 30 different sports should cover all tournament games Datablog complete data analysis has agreed to publish.

Opta's analysis of the final includes some great post-match facts:


• Barcelona have now won more league and European Cup doubles than any other team in history
• Since 2006-07, Manchester United have been restricted to just a single shot on target in only two Champions League games, both v Barcelona
• Five of the last six clubs to have lost a Champions League final have come from England
• Despite attempting a Champions League 2010/11 high of 148 passes (excluding crosses), Xavi managed the best success rate (95.3%) on the pitch
• Thanks to Barcelona's victory, Spain (13) have overtaken Italy (12) in terms of most Champions League/European Cup trophies
• Messi, Villa and Pedro have scored 98 goals for Barcelona this season, in all competitions
• More than half of Wayne Rooney's goals in the Champions League have come in the knockout stages (14/24, excluding qualifiers)
