Champions league final, san siro, Milan
Milan’s San Siro will host two teams from the Spanish capital in the final of the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League. The competition’s most successful club, Real Madrid, will compete in its 14th final, aiming to win its 11th
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
European Cup, while City rivals Atlético have reached a third final with the aim of winning Europe’s premier club competition for the first time.
1
It’s a repeat of the 2013/14 final, which was won 4-1 by Real Madrid. Atlético held a one goal lead until injury time before a Sergio Ramos goal from a set piece forced extra time, as Atléti’s high-energy game caught up with them in the extra period. That result completed La Decima for Real as Atléti became the third team to reach the final on multiple occasions without lifting the trophy. Defeat in this season’s competition would see the club become the only team with three final defeats and no victories on its record. This year’s Champions League has seen its share of shocks, from Manchester United’s elimination during the group stage to Atlético’s presence in the final, Diego Simeone’s side having beaten two of the competition’s heavyweights – Barcelona and Bayern Munich – en route. Barcelona’s defeat against Atlético ensured the continuation of the failure of the holders to repeat as champions, something which has not happened since the 1988/89 and 1989/90 finals when AC Milan won back-to-back European Cups. Furthermore, Atlético Madrid are the only team to eliminate Barça prior to the semi-finals since 2006/07, as Atléti also progressed at the quarter-final stage against Barcelona when they reached the 2013/14 Champions League final. Real Madrid have reached the final while featuring both one of the competition’s best attacking and defensive records. Only Bayern Munich (30) have scored more goals (27) and attempted more shots per match (21.3 to 20.6) than Los Blancos, while no club has conceded fewer goals than Real (5), as only Manchester United allowed more shots on a per match basis (6.8 vs 8.3). Of course, it helps to have Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line. The Portuguese forward will enter the final on 16 goals, one behind his own single season record set in the 2013/14 season. He CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
has attempted 88 shots (8.01 per 90) on the road to the final – that’s 41 more than any other player. Ordinarily in European competition, top teams in their domestic leagues have to adjust their systems when facing the likes of Real, Barcelona or Bayern. Atlético, however, are different, and it’s one of the reasons why many saw them as the main outside threat to win the competition. Real will likely see more of the ball at the San Siro, taking the game to Atléti as both Barcelona and Bayern did in the last two rounds, but that is just what Simeone’s side is used to. They have had just two games with greater than 60 percent possession in La Liga, as they have had less than 50 percent possession in over half of their games, averaging 49 percent possession for the season. Atléti quite simply stop teams from breaking into the danger zone. Just 31.8 percent of their shots conceded have been located in the central area of the box, with the team averaging a league-low 3.1 danger zone shots conceded per match. However, they face a Real Madrid side that generates more shots than any other side in La Liga, as they have averaged over seven danger zone shots per match despite under 40 percent of their attempts being located in the central area of the box. A Madrid derby in the home of the two Milan clubs just adds further intrigue into the Champions League final. Real are 54.8% percent favourites according to the STATS projections; however, Atlético Madrid have upset the odds to get to this stage of the competition – so will it be third time lucky for Los Rojiblancos in the final of Europe’s premier competition?

Atlético Madrid have reached the Champions League final for the third time, but have had to do it the hard way. Los Rojiblancos were drawn in Group C alongside Benfica, Galatasaray and Astana before facing PSV, Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the Knockout Stage.

Group Stage
Round of 16 vs PSV Eindhoven
Atletico finished top of Group C, although that was only secured in their final group game. Diego Simeone’s side collected maximum points against Galatasaray and four points against Astana, drawing 0-0 in Kazakhstan, but a 2-1 defeat at the Vicente Calderón Stadium against Benfica on matchday two was an early setback, despite dominating in that fixture.
PSV managed to prevent Atlético Madrid from scoring over the two legs, but the Dutch side were also unable to break through Atleti’s defensive shell. Central midfielder Gabi was at the heart of everything Atlético did against PSV, averaging 115 touches, 99.5 passes and 3 ball recoveries over the two games, more than all other players on both teams, he was key to Atlético’s ability to control the tie and keep PSV at bay.
Atléti took an early lead through Angel Correa; however, Nicolas Gaitan equalised before half time and Goncalo Guedes made it 2-1 to Benfica in the 51st minute. Simeone’s side were unable to find a second, which meant that both club ultimately entered the final game of the group stage on 10 points. Atleti’s 2-1 victory in Portugal ensured that they were a seeded team in the round of 16.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
Missing Eredivisie top scorer Luuk De Jong for the first leg, PSV were limited to just 14 shots (2 on target) over the two games as they struggled to create opportunities. However, PSV were relatively error free when then had possession, losing the ball 29.5 times per game, fewer than every other team in the last 16. This discipline in possession and in terms of shape was a major factor in enabling the Dutch side to keep Atlético scoreless despite the latter’s total of 36 shots. Atletico 4
eventually won the contest 8-7 on penalties, with Juanfran scoring the winner after Luciano Narsingh, a 118th minute substitute, missed for PSV. Quarter-Final vs Barcelona Atlético dumped the defending champions out of the competition with a superb 2-0 second leg victory after losing 2-1 at the Nou Camp. Becoming just the fifth team to prevent Barcelona from scoring in 2015/16, Atlético’s defensive resilience shone through as the team progressed to the semi-finals with goals from Fernando Torres, who was later sent off in the first leg, and Antoine Griezmann across the two legs. One of the keys to Atlético’s success is the team’s ability to keep its structure and maintain a threat even when without the ball for long periods of time. Diego Simeone’s side averaged just 32 percent possession and made just 270 passes to Barcelona’s 1,227 between CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
the two games, but Atleti were able to stifle Barça’s phenomenal attacking talents. A hallmark of Atlético’s defensive excellence was their ability to marginalise Lionel Messi during the second leg. In fact, the Barcelona star didn’t record a single touch inside Atlético’s penalty area at the Vicente Calderon as the home side restricted him to just three shots, with two coming from free kicks. Semi-Final vs Bayern Munich Atlético Madrid survived an onslaught at the Allianz Arena in the second leg in order to progress on away goals to reach the final, but things could have been very different. Atléti carried a one goal lead into the second leg as the tie was effectively won in Madrid, due to Bayern’s inability to come away with an away goal, as Simeone’s side were outshot 19-11, playing without the ball for the majority of the contest. 5
The second leg was dominated by Bayern, with Atlético mainly limited to counter attacks. When Atléti were in possession, they attempted to play around Bayern rather than through; however, the vast majority of their touches were in their own half – and box – especially after Antoine Griezmann had equalized on the night, giving them the lead on aggregate. Things could have been much different at the point of Griezmann’s equaliser, as Thomas Muller would have changed the approaches of both sides had he converted his 34th minute penalty. Bayern would have taken a 2-0 lead on the night and Pep Guardiola would have likely switched to a more patient possession-based style, while Atlético would have had to score at that point. Bayern did press, and Robert Lewandowski was able to put them ahead on the night and level on aggregate, but they were unable to CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
score a vital third goal – and Fernando Torres could have ended the tie early in the 84th minute, but this penalty miss did not prove to be costly. Bayern attempted 35 shots in the second leg alone, to Atlético’s seven, as the German champions generated more shots in that tie than Barcelona were able to do in two games against Atlético. The victory sets Atlético up for a Champions League final against their Madrid rivals, and they have had to do it the hard way to get there. One of Barcelona, Bayern and Real have feature in every final since 2008/09, which was really the start of the English demise in the competition, as at least two of these clubs have reached the semi-final stage in each year since 2009/10 – highlighting the current position of the three clubs in European football and how tough the road to the final has been for Atlético.

Real Madrid reached the Champions League Final for the fourteenth time as the ten-time winners progressed through a group including PSG, Shakhtar Donetsk and Malmรถ before beating Roma, Wolfsburg and Manchester City in the knockout stages.

Group Stage
Round of 16 vs Roma
Real Madrid came through a potentially tough Group A without suffering defeat, winning five of their six games and only dropping points in a 0-0 draw with French champions Paris Saint Germain. Despite being drawn with PSG and a strong Shakhtar Donetsk side, Real scored 19 (equal most with Bayern Munich) and conceded just three (equal second fewest after PSG) to stamp their authority on Group A.
Madrid eased through to the quarter-finals with a pair of 2-0 wins over Roma in the last 16. Controlling both games with an average of 57% possession, Real peppered Roma’s goal as they took 56 shots, including 37 (11 on target) in the second leg at the Bernabéu. Cristiano Ronaldo took 19 shots alone over both games (including 13 in Madrid), scoring in both legs as he once again proved pivotal to his team’s success.
As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo was the undoubted star of the group phase for Los Blancos. The Portuguese forward scored in four of Madrid’s games and finished with 10 goals, including four goals in the 8-0 demolition of Malmö in the final group match.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
Roma struggled to assert themselves when confronted with Madrid’s relentless attack. Losing the ball 57 times per game and hitting the target with just 23.8% of their efforts, the side from the Italian capital were unable to match the firepower of the Spanish giants.

Quarter-Final vs Wolfsburg After suffering a surprise 2-0 defeat in the first leg in Germany, Madrid mounted a dramatic second leg comeback as Ronaldo rescued Los Blancos with a superb hat-trick at the Bernabéu. The primary difference between Wolfsburg’s respective performances in the two legs was
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
their ability to create high-quality chances. In Wolfsburg, Die Wölfe hit the target with 7 of their 10 shots, falling to just 3 of 9 in Madrid. Bruno Henrique, Julian Draxler and André Schürrle combined for 7 shots in the first leg but were held at bay in the second, taking just three shots between them at the Bernabéu. Madrid’s improvement in defence during the second leg was key to them winning the tie and progressing to the last four. Combining

for 11 ball recoveries, three interceptions and five tackles (compared to eight recoveries, five interceptions and two tackles in Germany), Madrid’s back four was more adept at snuffing out Wolfsburg’s attacks in the second game. In attack, Ronaldo was the hero for Madrid once again, and his superb second leg performance is borne out in the match statistics. Scoring with three of his five shots and completing eight passes in the final third, Ronaldo was a constant threat as he took his Champions League goal tally to 16 for the season. Semi-Final vs Manchester City Real Madrid did enough to overcome a stubborn if lacklustre Manchester City in the semi-final, with Fernando’s own goal from a deflected Gareth Bale shot proving the difference between the two sides. Los Blancos were the more proactive side across both legs, taking 26 shots to City’s nine and making 963 passes (481.5 per game) to City’s 748 (374 per game). Toni Kroos and Luka Modric were key to Madrid’s control of possession, combining for 301 passes and 15 ball recoveries as they kept City at arm’s length with some superb passing football. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
Having missed the first leg through injury, Ronaldo made a big difference to Real when he returned at the Bernabéu. Taking seven shots (three on target) and taking 45 touches, Ronaldo powered Madrid in attack and caused City’s defence serious problems. Despite needing to score after going a goal down after 20 minutes in Madrid, City were surprisingly timid and failed to register a single shot on target. Sergio Agüero took just one shot during the game, which was from outside the box, as City struggled to get the Argentine involved, while Kevin De Bruyne also took only one shot (from a difficult angle) and Yaya Toure failed to shoot at all. Real advance to the final having not conceded at home throughout the entire competition, while scoring a total of 27 goals (second only to Bayern Munich’s 30) and possessing the tournament’s leading goal scorer (Ronaldo with 16). If Zinedine Zidane’s side can harness their attacking power against their Madrid rivals, then Real will likely prove why STATS has projected them as 54.8% favourites to claim a record 11th Champions League title.

Ahead of the second all-Spanish Champions League final in three years, Chris Mann spoke to spoke to Dr. Héctor Ruiz, a Data Scientist based in the business’ Barcelona office, to get an analytical angle on the two Madrid clubs.
Spain of late and will need to be at their very best against Atlético. Real have only beaten their city rivals once in the 10 games they’ve played since the 2013/14 Champions League Final and should be wary of Diego Simeone’s side.
Chris Mann: What’s Real Madrid’s form like ahead of the final?
CM: What can we expect from Real Madrid in the final?
Héctor Ruiz: After a troubled start to the season, Real Madrid have improved under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane and are set to play in the final of Europe’s premier club competition for the 14th time. Real finished the league season with 12 consecutive wins and will be confident of their form ahead of the game.
HR: According to our Playing Styles framework, Real Madrid typically combine possession-based styles with counter attacking and a high level of pressing. This results in particularly high values for offensiveness as we can see in their radars. Zidane’s side generally exhibit less direct play, crossing and counter attack in the Champions League than they do in La Liga, perhaps as a result of having to be more cautious against a generally higher calibre of opponent.
However, Los Blancos haven’t been as convincing in Europe as they have been in

CM: How are Atlético Madrid shaping up? HR: Atlético continue to go from strength to strength under Diego Simeone, with this year’s Champions League final representing the club’s fifth European final and the third since the Argentine was appointed in 2011/12. Famed for their defensive strength, Atlético have had an extremely tough run to the final, defeating Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the previous two rounds while sustaining a La Liga title challenge until the final weeks of the season. CM: How do Atlético contrast with Real?
attacking than Zidane’s, instead being more efficient in front of goal when they create scoring opportunities. Atlético are generally happy to sit back and absorb pressure in the Champions League, with that being illustrated by their value for high press being similar to Real Madrid’s despite having played arguably the two most possession-heavy teams in the quarter and semi-finals. Interestingly, Atlético exhibit less direct play and counter attacking in La Liga than they do in the Champions League, with the frequency of crossing and fast tempo possessions rising in Europe despite a better quality of opposition.
HR: While Real Madrid are a team that generally relies on high quantities of possession, Atlético have shown that they do not need much of the ball to be successful. Simeone’s side are also far less counter

Atlético Madrid
The most successful team in the history of the European Cup/Champions League, Real Madrid have won 10 titles as well as reaching another three finals and 13 semi-finals.
Atlético Madrid have been less frequent participants in the European Cup/Champions League than their city rivals, with the club’s most successful eras coming during the 1970s and in the last three seasons.
Having won six titles between 1956 and 1967 (including the first five tournaments), Los Blancos had to wait until the late 1990s to enjoy a similar period of success. After lifting the trophy three times between 1998 and 2002 (1998, 2000 and 2002), Real failed to advance beyond the quarter-finals between 2004 and 2010. Recent years have seen Real make consistently deep runs in the competition, reaching at least the semi-finals in each of the last six seasons. Real won the all-Madrid final in 2014, with Sergio Ramos equalising late on before Los Blancos dominated extra-time to win 4-1. Real will hope to repeat that success, but after taking just one point from Atléti in La Liga this season their task will not be an easy one. Real Madrid
After losing to Real Madrid in the 1959 semi-finals, Atléti next reached the last four in 1971 before going one stage better and losing to Bayern Munich in the 1974 final. The following 30 years yielded just two quarter-final appearances (1978 and 1997) before Diego Simeone took over in 2011 and began to build a team that has been able to compete at the highest level of European football. 2014 saw Atlético reach the final for just the second time, losing out to Real before suffering the same fate in the quarter-finals a year later. The 2016 final represents Atléti’s third European Cup/Champions League final and Los Rojiblancos will be hoping it’s third time lucky at the San Siro this season. Atlético Madrid

This year’s Champions League final is a repeat of the final from two years ago. Real Madrid won its tenth European Cup at the Estadio de Luz in Lisbon despite trailing to a Diego Godin goal until deep into second half injury time. A 93rd minute Sergio Ramos equaliser for Los Blancos forced the game into extra time before Real ran out 4-1 winners as Atléti struggled thanks to goals from Gareth Bale, Marcelo and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty. Post-match, much of the focus was on that equaliser from a set piece, as it could be have been prevented had Atléti had a man on the post. But why didn't Atlético have a man on the post? Jimmy Coverdale looked into the data to find an answer. Pundits criticised Atlético for failing to have a man on the post, but generally they, like a lot of football fans, prefer conventional styles of play. Concede a goal when marking zonally? Pundits question the strength of the system. Concede a goal without a man on the post? Pundits point it out as a huge error.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
Furthermore, this analysis is often made with complete disregard of any other corner situation that has happened in that match, let alone during the rest of the season. Defending corners was a strength of Atlético during 2013/14 as it is now, in part due to having additional players defending against the cross rather than standing next to the posts. To get an idea of the club's success when defending corners in 2013/14, we looked at the data and viewed each goal conceded from a corner by Atlético to see whether this was an isolated incident. Diego Simeone's side conceded just nine goals from all set piece situations (not just corners) between La Liga and the Champions League – with seven coming in the league (fifth lowest in the division) in 2013/14. In terms of corners in domestic football, Atléti conceded a league-low 141 over the course of the season (an average of 3.71 per match) and 73.8% of these were swung into the box. However, just
17
five of the 141 corners directly led to shots on target (3.5%), with a further 14 leading to shots. This means that just 13.5% of their corners allowed resulted in an attempt on goal. Atléti have shown a similar strength in defending corners this season, as just 16.3% of corners conceded have resulted in a shot and just 3.7% with a shot on target. Overall, Atlético only conceded three goals from corner situations in La Liga in 2013/14: against Real Madrid at the Vicente Calderon (when Karim Benzema scored from an Angel Di Maria cross, but the corner was initially played short); against Almeria (Verza scoring from the wing after another short corner routine); and, finally, in the 3-0 defeat against Osasuna in February (Alvaro Cejudo volleying home from an Emiliano Armenteros cross – another that was also played short). The common theme here is that a man on the post would have done nothing to prevent these goals – so it was a system that was
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 2016
working. In the 2013/14 final, Real had success with five of its nine corners on the night, although one of these was played short and the other was over-hit and collected by a Real player outside the box. Three of these corners resulted in shots, with one proving to be decisive. Should Atlético have had a man on the post? It would have helped in that instance. However, Sergio Ramos’ equaliser was also the first effort from a corner to be directly converted by one of Atlético’s opponents in either La Liga or the Champions League that season. Therefore, it was the first corner where a man on the post would have had a positive effect for Atlético Madrid between the Champions League and La Liga. It’s clear that the club’s prior strategy was working so it is understandable that it was not changed for the final. It was simply an unlucky and costly incident at the most unfortunate time of the season for Atlético Madrid.
