Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2020/21 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Estádio do Dragão - Porto Saturday 29 May 2021 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Manchester City FC Matchday 13 - Final Chelsea FC Last updated 25/05/2021 20:05CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 7 1 Manchester City FC - Chelsea FC Saturday 29 May 2021 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Estádio do Dragão, Porto Match background Manchester City's first UEFA Champions League final pits them against domestic rivals Chelsea, who are in the decider for the third time and looking to add to their 2012 triumph. • This is the sides' first European meeting in 50 years, but both have already endured plenty of UEFA Champions League heartache at the hands of Premier League sides, City being eliminated by domestic rivals in 2018 and 2019 while Chelsea's first final appearance ended in defeat by familiar foes. • This is the third all-English UEFA Champions League final, Chelsea having been involved in the first, when they lost on penalties to Manchester United in Moscow in 2008. Two years ago, Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid. • There have been seven previous UEFA Champions League finals between clubs from the same country, all since 2000. Real Madrid were victorious in all-Spanish affairs in 2000 (Valencia), 2014 and 2016 (both Atlético de Madrid) while AC Milan beat fellow Italian side Juventus on penalties in 2003 and Bayern München overcame Borussia Dortmund in the 2013 all-German final. • City are the ninth English club to appear in a European Cup final, more than any other country; Italy and Germany are next on the list with six each. • This final will now be held at the Estádio do Dragão in Porto, the venue for City's goalless draw against the local side in the group stage – the only game they have failed to win in this season's competition – and where Chelsea have won only once in four attempts. • City and Chelsea have both conceded just four goals en route to this final, the lowest total for the two finalists since Barcelona (four goals against) took on Arsenal (two) in the 2006 decider. Neither side have conceded more than once in a UEFA Champions League game in 2020/21. Final pedigree Manchester City • City are the 42nd club to reach the European Cup final, and the third newcomers in successive seasons after Tottenham in 2019 and Paris Saint-Germain in 2020. They are the 21st team to reach the UEFA Champions League final. • City could become the 23rd side to win the European Cup, and the first new name on the trophy since Chelsea's 2012 triumph. • This is City's second European final. They beat Polish club Górnik Zabrze 2-1 at Vienna's Prater Stadion in the 1969/70 European Cup Winners' Cup final. • Josep Guardiola, a winner with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011, could become the sixth coach to win the European Cup with two different clubs, after Ernst Happel (Feyenoord 1970, Hamburg 1983), Ottmar Hitzfeld (Borussia Dortmund 1997, Bayern München 2001), José Mourinho (Porto 2004, Internazionale 2010), Jupp Heynckes (Real Madrid 1998, Bayern 2013) and Carlo Ancelotti (AC Milan 2003, 2007, Real Madrid 2014). • İlkay Gündoğan is the only member of the City squad who has previously played in the UEFA Champions League final. Having scored Dortmund's goal from the penalty spot in their 2-1 defeat by Bayern in 2013, he could become the fourth player to find the net for different clubs in the European Cup final. Velibor Vasović (Partizan 1966, Ajax 1969), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United 2008, Real Madrid 2014, 2017) and Mario Mandžukić (Bayern 2013, Juventus 2017) have all previously managed it. Chelsea • This is Chelsea's third UEFA Champions League final, with both previous matches decided by penalties (W1 L1): 2008 Manchester United L 1-1 (aet, 5-6 pens), Moscow 2012 Bayern München W 1-1 (aet, 4-3 pens), Munich • Thomas Tuchel led Paris Saint-Germain to last season's final, where they were beaten 1-0 by Bayern in Lisbon; he is the first man to take two different clubs to the European Cup final in successive seasons. • Thiago Silva was captain of the Paris side that lost in last season's final; he is the only Chelsea player to have appeared in the UEFA Champions League decider. • Mateo Kovačić was an unused substitute in Real Madrid's final wins in 2017 and 2018; he also made eight appearances in their victorious 2015/16 campaign, but missed out on the matchday squad for the final. • In addition to their two UEFA Champions League appearances, Chelsea were also victorious in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals in 1971 (2-1 replay vs Real Madrid) and 1998 (1-0 vs Stuttgart) and the UEFA Europa League finals in 2013 (2-1 vs Benfica) and 2019 (4-1 vs Arsenal). They also won the UEFA Super Cup in 1998, but lost the 2 Manchester City FC - Chelsea FC Saturday 29 May 2021 - 21.00CET (20.00 local time) Match press kit Estádio do Dragão, Porto match in 2012, 2013 and 2019, the latter a defeat by Liverpool on penalties after a 2-2 draw in Istanbul. Previous meetings • The sides have met in one previous UEFA club competition tie, in the 1970/71 European Cup Winners' Cup semi- finals. Chelsea won 1-0 in both legs against holders City, Derek Smethurst scoring the only goal of the Stamford Bridge first leg in the 46th minute, before a 43rd-minute Ron Healey own goal earned the visitors victory at City's former home Maine Road. Chelsea went on to succeed their fellow English side as competition winners, beating Real Madrid after a final replay. • This is the clubs' fourth match of the season, with Chelsea having won two of the previous three, including a 2-1 victory at the City of Manchester Stadium on 8 May at the end of the week in which both teams reached this final. Marcos Alonso scored an added-time winner, Hakim Ziyech (63) having cancelled out Raheem Sterling's 44th-minute opener; Sergio Agüero also had a penalty saved by Edouard Mendy as City were denied the win that would have clinched the Premier League title. • Tuchel's side also beat City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on 17 April, Ziyech scoring the only goal ten minutes into the second half. • Guardiola's side had run out 3-1 winners at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on 3 January thanks to first-half goals from Gündoğan (18), Phil Foden (21) and Kevin De Bruyne (34); Callum Hudson-Odoi's 90th-minute consolation was all a Chelsea side managed by Frank Lampard could manage. • Overall, Chelsea have recorded 68 wins against City, who have won 58 of the clubs' past meetings with 40 draws. Chelsea have been triumphant in three of the last four games between the teams. • The clubs met in the 2018/19 English League Cup final, with City prevailing 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw at Wembley. Gündoğan, Agüero, Bernardo Silva and Sterling all converted in the shoot-out for City, with César Azpilicueta, Emerson and Eden Hazard doing likewise for Chelsea; however, although Leroy Sané had his penalty saved by Kepa, Jorginho's kick was saved by Ederson and David Luiz hit the post for Chelsea. • The teams have contested only one other cup final, the inaugural Full Members' Cup – a competition for clubs in England's top two divisions – in 1985/86. Chelsea were 5-4 winners at Wembley, David Speedie scoring a hat-trick and Colin Lee twice. Form guide Manchester City • Aside from their matches against Chelsea in 1971, City have met English opponents only twice in UEFA competition, on each occasion in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and lost both ties on aggregate. They were beaten 3-0 away and 2-1 at home by Liverpool in 2017/18, Gabriel Jesus scoring their only goal, before an away goals defeat by Tottenham the following season. City lost 1-0 away and bowed out despite Sterling scoring twice and Bernardo Silva and Agüero once each to secure a 4-3 second-leg victory. • That home win against Spurs is therefore City's only victory in their six European matches against English clubs (L5). • City scored three goals in each of their first three Group C victories this season, beating Porto (3-1), Marseille and Olympiacos (both 3-0) before a 1-0 win in Greece on Matchday 4 secured progress. A goalless draw in Porto in their penultimate fixture confirmed City in first place before a closing 3-0 win at home to Marseille. • Guardiola's side then beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 twice in the round of 16, with both games played in Budapest, before defeating Dortmund 2-1 home and away in the quarter-finals. They overcame last season's runners- up Paris in the last four (2-1 a, 2-0 h) to make it seven successive victories – the first English club to achieve that in the European Cup. • City are also the first English club to win 11 matches in a European Cup campaign. They are one victory away from equalling Real Madrid's competition record of 12, set in their victorious 2001/02 campaign. • The goal scored by Dortmund's Marco Reus in the 84th minute of the quarter-final first leg ended City's run without conceding a UEFA Champions League goal at 790 minutes, since Luis Díaz's 14th-minute opener for Porto on Matchday 1.

Bayesian methods are also used in this research field, but the association between these two is being developed. The aim of this paper is to present new mathematical concepts that are based on information and probability theory and can be applied to network analysis in Team Sports. These results are based on the transition matrices of the Markov chain, associated with the adjacency matrices of a network with n nodes and allowing for a more robust analysis of the variability of interactions in team sports. The proposed models refer to individual and collective rates and indexes of total variability between players and teams as well as the overall passing capacity of a network, all of which are demonstrated in the UEFA 2020/2021 Champions League Final.

Previous meetings • This is Sporting's first game against Norwegian opposition for 20 years, their previous two home games having both produced victories and clean sheets. • Rosenborg's ten previous UEFA fixtures against Portuguese opponents have yielded four wins, one draw and five defeats. Just one of those victories has come on Portuguese soil – 3-0 against Boavista in the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League first group stage. Their only previous visit to Lisbon – and also their most recent trip to Portugal – brought a 1-0 defeat by Benfica in the third round of the 2003/04 UEFA Cup, a result from which they were unable to recover, going out on away goals after a 2-1 second-leg win in Trondheim.

The referee tosses a coin and the team that wins the toss, decides whether to attack or defend in the first ADG contest. The teams receive an additional substitution. The referee meets separately with the teams and records their five attackers. The attacker receives the ball at the ADG mark, which is 32 yards from the goal line. Having seen the attacker, the opposition field their defender. eTh defender and goalkeeper must be at least 10 yards from the ball until it is in play. Half the field is in play. The attacker kicks off and has 20 seconds to try and score a goal. The contest will end if any of the following occur: • A goal is scored • The ball goes out of play • The goalkeeper controls the ball with their hands inside the penalty area • The 20 seconds elapses • The attacker commits a foul If the defender or goalkeeper commits a foul, the attacker is awarded a penalty kick, and the 20 second time period is disregarded for the remainder of that contest.

  • COMPETITIVE BALANCE in VEIKKAUSLIIGA and LIIGA Roope
    COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN VEIKKAUSLIIGA AND LIIGA Roope Töllikkö Master’s Thesis Sport and Exercise Promotion Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences University of Jyväskylä 2020 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences TÖLLIKKÖ, ROOPE: Competitive balance in Veikkausliiga and Liiga ABSTRACT Master’s Thesis, 77 pages Social Sciences of Sport 2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the nominal paper by Simon Rottenberg in 1956, in which he discussed the notion of competitive balance for the first time, the theory has been a backbone in team sport economics. However, recent empirical evidence shows a clear trend of decrease in the levels of competitive balance across different leagues and sports around the world. A clear gap in the evidence exists in the Finnish sporting context and therefore this thesis aims to determine the current levels of competitive balance in Veikkausliiga and Liiga and how these levels have evolved throughout the last 30 years (1990-2019). The theoretical framework of this thesis can be traced to Simon Rottenberg’s theory of competitive balance and uncertainty of outcome, which is widely considered as the kick-start for team sport economics. The theory states that in order for a sport league to thrive, to attract spectators and thus be more profitable, the teams must be of approximately similar strength. Dominance, or in other words, a monopoly position of one or a few teams would harm the league, the main product itself. In order to measure the levels of competitive balance in the two leagues, a series of widely established measurement methods were used. The tools included the Herfindahl-Index, Gini Coefficient, standard deviation and historical winning percentages.
