A season of
excellence
The 2013/14 UEFA Champions League season
will always be remembered for Real Madrid CF
winning La Dcima. After 12 years striving to
reclaim the trophy they had made their own
in the 1950s, the club of Di Stfano, Gento,
Pusks, Hierro, Ral, Casillas and Zidane
captured their elusive tenth European Cup.
New heroes have now joined the illustrious roll
call of players to have lifted the trophy in the
famous white jersey, none more so than the
phenomenal Cristiano Ronaldo, whose record
of 17 goals in a season was suitably rewarded
with the trophy at the end. A special mention
is also due to Carlo Ancelotti, who became the
second coach after Bob Paisley to lead a team
to the title three times.
Madrids victory brought back memories of the
early years of this great competition and it was
with tremendous sadness that we learned of
the passing of two of its most dazzling pioneers
Alfredo Di Stfano and Eusbio true greats
and players who embodied the spirit and
magic of the game.
While we congratulate the winners, beaten
finalists Club Atltico de Madrid also deserve high
praise. For the first time, club footballs greatest
prize was contested by rivals from the same city,
and while the pain of defeat may linger for Diego

INTRODUCTION
COMPETITION OVERVIEW
The lure of
Lisbon
Madrids great rivals laid down a marker in the group stage,
dropping just two points each on their way to ensuring the
competitions first single-city final
One of the multifarious challenges facing
members of the coaching profession is that
expectations can blur the publics perception
of success and failure. In the UEFA Champions
League, success can be a place on the starting
grid, survival into the new calendar year, or
raising a national flag for the first time in the
quarter-finals. For a select few clubs,
expectations are pinned to images of the
captain triumphantly lifting Old Big Ears and
some of the pre-season favourites ended the

Knockout blows
The opening round of 16 fixtures yielded six
away victories, five of which were won by two
goals or more with the advantages
compounded by the away goals rule. Real
Madrid CF, 6-1 victors against FC Schalke 04 in
Gelsenkirchen; Paris Saint-Germain, 4-0 winners
in Leverkusen; and Dortmund, favoured by a 4-2
scoreline in St Petersburg, became odds-on
favourites to go through and did, even though
Zenit claimed a consolation victory in
Dortmund. Only two matches punctuated the
away win sequence. Galatasaray, coming from
behind to draw 1-1 with Chelsea in Istanbul,
were outgunned at Stamford Bridge, losing the
return 2-0. And Olympiacos, 2-0 winners
against Manchester United FC in the home leg,
failed to truncate their negative record of 11
losses in as many visits to England when they
were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford.

THE FINAL
A minute
difference
Sergio Ramoss equalising goal seconds from the end
of normal time turned the outcome and perceptions
of an intriguing final on their heads
The equaliser was the winning goal. The
comment by Sir Alex Ferguson focused a
spotlight on one critical moment. Three
minutes into added time and with only one
remaining, Luka Modri delivered a corner from
the right. The one head that the Club Atltico
de Madrid players wanted the ball to avoid was
that of Sergio Ramos, the man who had killed
off the defending champions by heading home
twice from set plays during the second leg of
the semi-final in Munich. But there he was,
given enough elbow room in the centre of the
box to rise above the ball and, calculating the
angles as shrewdly as a billiards player, swivel his
neck to send his header past the stretched-tothe-limit right arm of Thibaut Courtois and into
the net at the far post. In the short term, it
signified 1-1 and extra time. In the greater
scheme of things, it heralded, as Sir Alex
pointed out, ultimate victory for Real Madrid CF.

Carletto also has a balanced approach to
the job. In the technical area he seems
imperturbable, almost inscrutable. Those who
study his behaviour on the touch line would
maybe find it difficult to equate that image
with the ease and jocularity of his relationships
within the dressing room. When the
93rd-minute equaliser hit the Atltico net, his
reaction was a minimal gesture with clenched
fists. When Bale nodded in the second goal,
Ancelottis body language transmitted more
passion but it was a contained passion. His joy
at lifting the trophy was allied with a measured
appraisal of the victory. I am a lucky man, he
admitted, before stressing that happiness is

Unlocking
the door
From launching attacks from deep or hitting teams
on the break to the importance (or not) of possession,
opinions differed on the most effective route to goal
If we ended the season asking ourselves why
Real Madrid were the champions, wed have
to think about the balance within their squad;
their ability to field a team equipped to deal
with any rival. They could always field two of
the best central midfielders you could hope to
see, because of their skill on the ball and their
defensive strength. They were always ready to
get back to their own box or, as we saw against
Bayern, to double up against Ribry and
Robben. More importantly, against any
opponent, they could find ways to unlock the
door. These words, spoken by Roy Hodgson on
the morning after the Lisbon final, raise many
of the points to emerge from a fascinating
UEFA Champions League season.
Flexible structures
The trend towards a 4-2-3-1 structure
continued in the 2013/14 season, with 19 of
the 32 contestants operating in this formation
at some stage, six setting themselves up in
4-3-3, another six in 4-4-2, and Juventus
playing their trademark 3-5-2 except in the
two group matches against Real Madrid, when
Antonio Conte opted to play four at the back.
However, the season offered infinite
opportunities to play with numbers. AC Milan,
with a change of coach during the campaign,
permuted 4-4-2 with 4-3-3; David Moyes
Manchester United FC mixed 4-4-2 with
4-2-3-1; Carlo Ancelotti switched from 4-3-3
to 4-4-2 against Bayern in the semi-final; AFC
Ajaxs starting lineup at home to Barcelona was
an example of the teams whose structure was,
at certain moments, more akin to a 4-1-4-1
than the traditional 4-3-3; Atltico occasionally
switched to 4-5-1; FC Schalke 04s 4-4-2 was so
distant from two flat lines of four that UEFAs
observer was tempted to label it a 4-2-2-2
formation; and, in general, quick transitions
to and from attacking and defending structures
blurred definitions. Yet the top teams
suggested that, in order to be able to unlock
doors in the UEFA Champions League, you need
to be equipped to play in more than one system.

On the ball
After nine seasons at the top of the ball
possession chart, Barcelona were relegated to
second place by Bayern, Pep Guardiola having
transferred a playing philosophy from Catalonia
to Bavaria. Possessing the ball can be equated
to possessing the initiative. But the 2013/14
season demonstrated that, to quote Arsne
Wenger, football doesnt necessarily reward
teams that take the initiative. Defeats for the
main standard-bearers of possession football
kept alive a debate which has been ebbing
and flowing since the contrasting winning
styles of Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, and an
FC Internazionale Milano side which became
the filling in a sandwich by winning the title
under Jos Mourinho feeling comfortable
without the ball and having it for only 32% of
the 2010 final against Louis van Gaals Bayern.
The 2014 final was between two teams and
two coaches who gave little relevance to
possession figures. Madrids average for the
victorious campaign was hoisted upwards by
a 60% share in the Lisbon final, after defeating
Bayern at home and away in the semi-final with
a 36% share of the ball. Atltico, the silver
medallists, dominated possession in only three
of their 13 matches one of them a marginal
51% quota away against FK Austria Wien.
Like Madrid against Bayern, they defeated
Barcelona in the quarter-final with 34%
of the ball at Camp Nou and 36% at home.
Gareth Southgate, one of the team of UEFA
technical observers during the season,
commented: There seems to be a small
current trend where teams that dominate
possession are being beaten by well-organised
defensive blocks and quick counterattacks.
Antonio Conte adopts a similar line: The
football mentality is slowly changing in Italy,

Counters count
UEFAs technical observers frequently
highlighted teams reluctance to expose
themselves to counterattacks until the
necessities of chasing a result obliged them to
do so. During the 2013/14 season, the number
of goals directly attributable to counters
dropped to 61 in comparison with 79 in the
previous season. Even so, counterattacks
accounted for almost a quarter of the goals
scored in open play (23% to be precise). The
champions provided a prime example of the
potential value of the quick break. No fewer
than 13 of Real Madrids goals almost a third
came from counters, the most frequent
modus operandi being a ball win in midfield
(often just inside opposition territory) and a
quick launch of the Formula 1 forwards,
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. Seven
counterattack goals came from a simple ball
win + one pass + solo run combination.
Jrgen Klopp makes no secret of the
importance he places on counterattacking skills
and Borussia Dortmund scored seven times
via this method during the season, including
one lightning reply to a dangerous free-kick in
favour of Olympique de Marseille. In their away
game at RSC Anderlecht, Olympiacos FC also
scored one of their five counterattack goals
after a set play for their opponents. Barcelona

FK Austria Wien had the lowest average of
65% whereas, in the preceding campaign,
five teams fell below that figure.
Individually, Barcelona schemer Xavi Hernndez
once again proved his status as pass master by
making 1,117 passes during his 811 minutes
on the pitch. Bayerns Toni Kroos was the only
player to exceed this figure, but his total of
1,212 was reached during 175 minutes more
than Xavi, whose passing accuracy was
measured at 92%, with the German
international only marginally behind at 89%.
Baras holding midfielder Sergio Busquets
underlined the importance of not giving the
ball away by registering a 93% success rate in
his 833 passes in 793 minutes of play. For the
champions, Luka Modri was passer-in-chief
with 838 (85%); Gabi led Atlticos passers
with 813 (75%); Pariss screening midfielder
Thiago Motta made 931 passes (90%); and
Bayerns rich passing weave allowed Philipp
Lahm (995/88%) and David Alaba (887/81%)

GOALSCORING ANALYSIS
Open play
Average goals per game were only just off the 2012/13 record and
Cristiano Ronaldo hit a new individual high as scoring flourished again
The goalscoring record of 368 established in
the 2012/13 season was not surpassed, but the
final tally in 2013/14 fell only marginally short
of the benchmark and registered the
second-highest average of goals per fixture
during the 22 seasons of the UEFA Champions
League. Real Madrid CF scored 41 times en
route to the title, with Cristiano Ronaldo setting
an individual benchmark of 17 goals with his
last-minute penalty in Lisbon, bettering the
previous record of 14 strikes in a single
campaign. He led a pack of 177 different
players who scored during the season.
By the time the two Madrid clubs headed
for the Portuguese capital, they had jointly
accounted for 17% of the seasons goals.

The 2013/14 season revealed that there is still
life in the dead ball. The steady downward trend
registered in recent seasons was halted and the
three dead-ball situations which led to goals in
the Lisbon final brought the total for the
campaign to 94. In the 2005/06 season, the
number of set play goals peaked at fractionally
below one-third before falling away to marginally
over 20% in 2012/13. However, in 2013/14, the
figure climbed back to 26% the level registered
in the 2008/09 and 2009/10 seasons.
However, there is a codicil to add. The recovery
of the dead ball was due, in great part, to a 50%
increase in the number of successfully taken
penalties: from 20 to 30. This represents the
highest figure recorded since the UEFA
Champions League adopted its current format
in 2003. The total had only once reached 20
(21 to be exact, in 2004/05) until 24 were
scored in 2010/11, to spark off correlations
with the introduction of the additional
assistant referees. During 2013/14, another
striking figure is that 17 penalties were not
converted. This can legitimately be associated
with greater in-depth analysis of opponents,
with goalkeeper coaches encouraging their
pupils to study penalty takers preferences.
Adding successes and failures, 47 spot kicks
were awarded at an average of one every 2.6
matches. However, 14 of the 32 contestants
were not awarded a penalty.

Success rates in the UEFA Champions League
raise questions about the wisdom of investing
in training ground rehearsals of certain types
of set play. In 2013/14, only seven goals were
struck into the net from direct free-kicks
representing fractionally below 2% of the total.
In other words, only one in 50 of the seasons
goals was supplied by free-kick specialists.

STATISTICS
The importance
of scoring first
Real Madrid CFs from-the-brink comeback in
the Lisbon final was one of the rare exceptions
in a season when the team scoring the first goal
became, for yet another year, the odds-on
favourite to emerge as the victor. No fewer than
74% of the games which produced goals were
won by the team scoring first. This statistic sets
a UEFA Champions League record, beating the
72% success rate for sides scoring first in the
2004/05 and 2010/11 seasons. In the 2008/09
campaign only 56.8% of matches were won by
the team that broke the deadlock but, since
then, the percentage has steadily increased.
The total of 23 draws in 2013/14 represents a
downturn in relation to 27 in 2012/13 and 31
in 2011/12. It is a return to the figure recorded
in 2010/11. Groups D and F did not produce a
draw, while just five of the 29 knockout fixtures
ended in stalemate. The season produced six
goalless draws the only one in the knockout
rounds being the semi-final first leg between

ANALYSIS
Talking points
Pedro Rodrguez or the Bayern wingers as
strikers? Is it realistic to class any of the Bara
front men as strikers? A scrutiny of squad lists
reveals a high number of middle-to-front
players who could just as easily be labelled
midfielders as forwards and very few attackers
who operate as genuine target men.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEASON REVIEW 2013/14
TALKING POINTS
47
Is shooting a crime?
Strikes from outside the box provided some
of the most spectacular goals of the season,
but the goalscoring pattern to emerge from
2013/14 reveals a sharp decline in the number
scored from long-range shots a 29%
downturn. The debating point is whether this
can be interpreted as a tribute to greater
alertness by goalkeepers, as the sheer number
of goal attempts from outside the penalty area
has shown no sign of decreasing. Of the
campaigns 3,127 attempts at goal, 1,476
(47%) were delivered from long range.
No fewer than 15 clubs tried their luck more
frequently from outside the area than they did
within it (AFC Ajax, RSC Anderlecht, FK Austria
Wien, FC Basel 1893, Celtic FC, Chelsea FC,
Bayer 04 Leverkusen, PFC CSKA Moskva,
AC Milan, Olympiacos, Olympique de Marseille,
Real Sociedad de Ftbol, FC Shakhtar Donetsk,
FC Steaua Bucureti and Zenit), the most
striking example being Zenit who, with Hulk
prominent, had 63 long-range shots compared
with 37 inside the box. SSC Napoli distributed
their attempts on a 50-50 basis or rather,
37-37. Of the two finalists, 38% of Madrids
finishing was from long range compared with
45% of Atlticos. Paris were alone in having
two in-the-box attempts for every effort
from outside.
The next question is whether a success rate of
one goal per 42 long-range attempts represents
encouragement for players and coaches to
advocate the ploy. The ratio is not inspiring in
48
Turning a corner?
Luka Modri takes a corner on the right, Sergio
Ramos heads into the net. This was the script
for two key episodes in Real Madrids route to
the title: the crucial opening goal against
Bayern in Munich, and the even more crucial
winning equaliser during the final, where his
header annulled the advantage which Atltico
had acquired as a result of a corner kick. The
two successes from corners in Lisbon brought
the seasons total to 37 16% more than in
the previous season and a 37% increase on
the total in 2011/12, when the success rate
was 1 in 46. The ratio in 2013/14 was one
goal per 34 corners.
STATISTICS
Distance covered
For the second successive season, Jrgen
Klopps Borussia Dortmund covered more
ground than any other UEFA Champions
League participant, peaking at a team total
of 126,344m in the 3-0 victory over Olympique
de Marseille in the German clubs first home
fixture of the season. This was also the match
in which Dortmund hit their highest number of
long passes and, by far, the lowest number of
short passes. During the quarter-final against
Real Madrid CF, for example, the team played
three times as many short passes.
The four German clubs featured among the
top dozen in terms of distance covered, with
FC Bayern Mnchen slipstreaming Dortmund
for much of the season, only to bring their
average down by covering just 112,660m
during the home leg of their semi-final against
Madrid the Bavarian clubs lowest tally of the
campaign. It is noticeable that the other six
quarter-finalists are in the bottom half of the
table. Another salient feature is that no fewer
than 13 of the 17 teams which covered the
greatest distances per match were eliminated
during the group stage, and that the difference
between first and last in the table is significant:

Free-kicks
During the 2013/14 season, the average UEFA
Champions League fixture was punctuated by
a few decimal points below 28 free-kicks
(27.58 to be precise). The overall total
increased slightly season on season from 3,413
infractions to 3,448 in other words, by just
1%. The technical report on the 2010/11
season remarked that, for the first time, none
of the 32 teams had exceeded 20 fouls per
game and that the average number of fouls had
dropped below 30. This trend was continued,
with all 32 teams comfortably below the 20
mark. It was noticeable that 10 of the 16 teams
in the top half of the fouls committed table
were eliminated during the group stage. Once
again, the trend towards defending from the
front meant that forwards, middle-to-front
players and screening midfielders were often
the most penalised, including, to cite random
examples among the leaders, Eden Hazard,
Mario Balotelli, Neymar, Ezequiel Lavezzi,
Robert Lewandowski, Olivier Giroud, Giorgios
Samaras and Franck Ribry, alongside
midfielders such as Axel Witsel, Marco Verratti,
Fernandinho, Gabi, Ramires and Ral Garca.

All-star
squad
Selecting a squad of 18 players who had made an impact on the
2013/14 UEFA Champions League was among the challenges facing
a team of coaches led by Sir Alex Ferguson when they met in Lisbon
on the morning after the final. In recent seasons, there had been
up to 23 players in the squad. But this season, the decision was to
imitate the UEFA Champions League coaches and to impose a limit
of 18 names on the team sheet.
The selection features 11 players from the two finalists, with Club
Atltico de Madrid, in the final for the first time, supplying one player
in each line. A notable departure from recent traditions is that Lionel
Messi was not selected. Seven players from the previous seasons
squad were named once again: Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm,
Sergio Ramos, Andrs Iniesta (the only FC Barcelona player on the
list for the 2013/14 season), Arjen Robben, Zlatan Ibrahimovi and
Cristiano Ronaldo. The defensive line comprises three central
defenders and two full-backs, although Lahm permuted his place
in the back four with a holding role in midfield. Four of the six
midfielders operated in central roles, with ngel Di Mara and Iniesta
playing wide on the left. The five attackers include two central
strikers and three who started in wide positions.

At the UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum in Nyon
prior to the start of the 2013/14 season, Arsne
Wenger commented: Winning your group is
important, as you get to play the second leg at
home. Whether or not that is a real advantage
is unknown. But you feel you have done the
job well if you finish at the top of the group.
Sir Alex Ferguson added: Some years ago, a
change in counterattacking methods in terms
of the use of quick combinations and collective
counters has given teams a better chance of
scoring away from home.
Further discussion of their views was promoted
by events when the top 16 teams kicked off the

COMPETITION IDENTITY
A prestigious
brand
The UEFA Champions League is footballs greatest club competition and this is reflected in
its brand. The best of the best on the ultimate stage is the brand essence, and its vision is
to create the ultimate stage for Europes top clubs. Passion, inspiration, excellence and
authenticity are the brand values that reflect this mission and it has successfully conveyed
the combination of excitement and prestige strongly represented in the competition since
it kicked off in 1992.
These are also values held by the players
themselves. Its the best competition in the
world of football, along with the World Cup,
Chelsea FC playmaker Eden Hazard said. Its
the highest level. Everyone in the world watches
it. There are only great players in this
competition. These are games where the great
players must be at their best. Thats what the
Champions League is.
In 2013, global brand consultancy firm
Interbrand valued the UEFA Champions League
brand at 3.14bn. The strength of the UEFA
Champions League brand was comparable to
the top ten global brands in the Interbrand Best
Global Brands ranking and was significantly
higher than competitor sporting properties,
earning particular praise for its clarity,
authenticity, differentiation and consistency.

Licensing
The UEFA Champions League licensing
programme brought outstanding examples
of manufacturers working in tandem with
sponsors and broadcast partners, with some
superb precedents sure to be pursued in
future campaigns. One notable example was
the UEFA Champions League Virtual Sticker
Album, involving tournament partner
UniCredit and sticker experts Panini. Virtual
stickers could be traded via social media, and
online communities were formed as fans
searched for missing images. The promotion
enhanced the UEFA Champions League
experience for supporters, and strengthened
the sponsors association with the
competition in the eyes of collectors.
A similar feat of cooperation between Konami
and PlayStation brought a rebranding of the
online PES 2014 (Pro Evolution Soccer 2014)
tournament, played online through
PlayStation 3 consoles. The new Virtual PES
UEFA Champions League pitted the best
gamers in the world against each other, with
the competition winners given the chance
to move out of the virtual world and attend

crowning glory
Two days before the mens final, the UEFA
Womens Champions League commanded
attention as VfL Wolfsburg became the third
team to retain the European womens club
title with a breathtaking victory over Swedens
Tyres FF. Tyres led 2-0 at half-time at
Lisbons Estdio do Restelo through Marta
and Vernica Boquete, but the holders hit
back in the most thrilling 45 minutes in the
competitions history. Alexandra Popps
47th-minute header revived the German side
before Martina Mller levelled. If Tyres
seemed on the ropes, Martas brilliant finish
restored their advantage three minutes later,

TV PRODUCTION
In the
picture
The UEFA Champions League remains at the cutting edge of innovation
in television, with 4K technology introduced at the final for the first time
As Cristiano Ronaldo scored the last goal of the
2013/14 UEFA Champions League season at
the final in Lisbon, 33 cameras around the
venue ensured that his 17th strike of a
record-breaking campaign was captured and
transmitted all around the world.
With host broadcaster Sport TV implementing
a production plan coordinated by UEFA TV
Production, nothing escaped the attention of
the cameras at the Estdio do Sport Lisboa
e Benfica. The action on and off the pitch was
picked up by among others two high-speed
cameras, four super slow motion cameras, an
aerial spidercam system suspended above the
pitch and a helicopter mounted camera
surveying the venue, capturing all the
pre-match excitement.
Ronaldos goal may have drawn a little more
global attention, but the TV production
standards were similarly high for all 125 UEFA
Champions League matches from the start of
the group stage. A year-long involvement with
host broadcast partners kicked off in July with
the broadcast partner pre-season meeting
and the UEFA Champions League directors
workshop, both providing UEFA with an
opportunity to outline its vision for the
seasons coverage.

VENUE OPERATIONS
Sign of the
times
Dressed up for the big occasion, there is no mistaking a UEFA Champions League venue
Since the start of the 2012/13 season, UEFA
has played a greater role in the delivery of UEFA
Champions League matches, running media,
commercial and broadcast operations at the
venues as well as taking the lead in terms of
running the competition.
VENUE OPERATIONS
Message boards
LED perimeter boards replaced static ones at
UEFA Champions League knockout matches
at the start of the 2012/13 season, and
were used at some venues in the group
stage for the first time in 2013/14. The
aim is to use high-quality LED boards at
all venues from the 2015/16 season. The
boards give UEFAs partners more visibility,
a greater chance to display their messages
and the opportunity to own the pitch
for 30 seconds at a time, as well as allowing
UEFA to reiterate its own important Respect
and No to Racism messages.
Media operations
With the eyes of the football world on the
Lisbon final, UEFAs media operations team
were put through their paces to
accommodate the needs of the written
press, broadcasters and photographers.
Not including the host broadcaster or
rights-holding radio and television
broadcasters, 602 accreditations were
delivered for the final. Official pre- and
post-match media conferences were
organised featuring both teams, as they had
been for all UEFA Champions League games
during the season. The UEFA Womens
Champions League final also proved a big
draw, with 146 press accreditations delivered.

game
The continued surge of social media may have
moved the goalposts in what constitutes an
official web presence, but the UEFA.com
formula has not changed, with a continued
mission to inform, engage and entertain.
An overhaul of the UEFA Champions League
MatchCentre and the competitions history
sections added even greater depth to coverage
in 2013/14. From March, meanwhile, the
UEFA Champions Challenge provided a new
dimension, the online treasure hunt inviting
fans to register, explore the website and fulfil
tasks to win a range of plum prizes put forward
by UEFAs commercial partners.
Much was also done to enhance some of the
websites prime assets; a UEFA Champions
League Fantasy Football app was launched
for iPhone and Android devices, bringing the
hugely popular game to the mobile world for
the first time, while the annual UEFA.com users
Team of the Year, revealed in January, attracted
a record 6.3 million votes (including 86,000
picks on Twitter) and intensive media coverage.
