CIES slip-up, but FC Porto shine among Champions League sides | OneFootball

The most recent study from the Football Observatory of CIES, published this Sunday, revealed a surprising curiosity: FC Porto appears in the 'top' of the most athletic teams in the current edition of the Champions League... despite not participating in the competition.

The analysis, based on data from Skill Corner, evaluated the percentage of distance covered at more than 15 km/h. The dragons register 24.5%, a percentage that earns them the second place in the ranking, only behind PSV Eindhoven (24.6%).

This record of the Portistas surpasses that of clubs of great expression in European football, such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Bayern Munich, which also feature in the list of clubs highlighted by CIES.
