The past week in the battle for the ratings had interesting results to keep an eye on, but despite all the games that were played, one competition can be named as the biggest winner.
That tournament was with no shade of doubt, the UEFA Champions League, who managed to see the same game earning the top audience and the third-highest number of viewers. After all the numbers came in, the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City that ended in a one-all draw, gathered over 2,000,000 average viewers considering the English and Spanish broadcasts.
The runner-up spot for the past week went to a Liga MX playoff game, where América succumbed to Atlético San Luis but ended up making it to the next round thanks to their aggregate win. The first leg of this match also gathered quite a few viewers on Wednesday, even if fans were a bit busy celebrating Mother's Day in Latin America.
Here is how all games ranked during the past week. Networks have been listed in alphabetical order.
