It was one of the most interesting weeks in terms of football games and ratings in the United States, with the highest ratings for a football match in the past six months.

The game in question was none other than the title match for the UEFA Champions League, where Real Madrid claimed their 14th title in this tournament against Liverpool. The English side was unable to beat Los Merengues for the second time in four years, giving Carlo Ancelotti his fifth title in this competition, a record for all coaches in UCL history. The match gave two TV channels in the country the highest numbers in terms of a football game this weekend, leaving no doubt about the relevance of the tournament in the United States.

The third most-watched game in the country saw Atlas becoming champions for the second time in the past six months against Pachuca in a nerve-wracking 2-1 game that gathered almost three quarters of a million fans watching this clash at some point, which confirmed Liga MX as one of the favorite domestic leagues to watch in this country.

Let's have a closer look at those games that kept fans glued to their seats in the past week.
