The past week in the United States had Real Madrid and Chelsea topping nationwide viewership numbers with their second UEFA Champions League meeting. The game where Los Blancos came back from a three-nil score to make it to the next round of the continental tournament gathered the most attention by fans in the U.S., taking home the honor of being the most-watched game of the week by almost 200,000 average viewers.
The game was originally aired by CBS for English-speaking users and gathered over 904,000 viewers throughout the match that was decided in extra time. If you add the amount of viewers that also watched the game in Spanish via TUDN, then you'd be talking about a clash that was watched by over 1,100,000 average users.
Another UEFA Champions League match earned the runner-up spot in the ratings race. Liverpool and Benfica had over 700,000 average viewers. Meanwhile, the third spot in this ranking went to none other than Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, who beat Norwich City with a stellar performance by the Portuguese ace, gathering over 400,000 average viewers in their weekend clash.
