Final Champions 2011, FC Barcelona - Manchester United's schedule and how to view television

While the issue of FC Barcelona improvised trip to England this afternoon to avoid complicate life with another Icelandic volcano in Football Notes do not want to miss a day of more to remind you when to play the final of this season's UEFA Champions League schedule and how to see it on television. We assume that this being the most interesting game of the year, most of you already have the date marked on the calendar but there are always some clueless that we appreciate this kind of information. Well, here goes.

The final of Europe's top competition will be played next Saturday 28, at 20.45hy will be broadcast on La 1 TVE and its website . In recent times, the final of the Champions League football has been, year after year, one of the most watched sporting interclub in the world. The 2009 edition, which played the same teams that will play it this year, Barca and Man United, brought together an audience of 109 million people around the world, surpassing even the Super Bowl that same year, which stood before the boob tube to 106 million viewers.

Of course, the Olympics or World Cup football than these figures (the World Cup final was followed by TV, reportedly for 700 million people), but also not to be competitions between sports clubs international but also must take into account that are tournaments that last more than a day, so that audiences accumulate. Even so, taking advantage that I've messed with this theme, the audience figures sporting event do not seem very reliable. First, because the system is unreliable and calculate accurate (how do you know how many people are in a bar watching the same TV? What if a bar has four TVs, the capacity would be divided among four or what?). And second because I think the World Cup final only see in Spain an average of 15 million viewers. Come, or kidding ...

The first leg of the semifinals of the Champions who played in the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu was attended by an average of 12,550,000 viewers, with 63.6% audience share, "but that figure was surpassed by the final of the Copa del Rey that faced the same teams: 14,172,000 media-with a 73% share. Is it the most-watched Champions League final in Spain? The two parties that previously had discussed the appeal of Madrid and Barca were they faced in a fratricidal duel, but on the other hand, maybe the European final appeal to other audiences, not as football fans. Hopefully, at least, has some 20,000 Catalans do not see it on television would be a sign that the entry will have finally been able to travel to England.
