Difference in playing time influenced Champions League final four?
Former Italian Players' Association President Damiano Tommasi described some interesting statistics about playing time after there were no Spanish, Italian or English teams in the ultimate four of the Champions League for the first time since 1991.
Two French sides in the semi-finals for the very first time in the annals of your competition with PSG ousting Atalanta and Lyon eliminating first Juve and then Manchester City.
Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are the other semi-finalists, hailing from the Bundesliga, but former AIC President Tommasi maintains this is not a coincidence.
Ligue 1 never resumed following the lockdown, while the Bundesliga concluded on June 27, La Liga on July 19, the Premier League on July 26 and Serie A didn't close until August 2.
Tommasi posted some interesting statistics showing just how many games per average these Champions League semi-finalists played in the 60 days prior to the quarter-finals.
Atalanta and Manchester City had typically one game every 4.28 days, compared to one in 20 for PSG and Lyon.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona had a casino game every five days, compared with one in 10 for Bayern Munich and one in 20 for RB Leipzig.
