NEW YORK (AP) — Chelsea’s penalty-kicks win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League final got a 1.3 overnight rating and a 3 share on Fox, down 28 percent from the 1.8/5 for Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United last year.
Chelsea’s 4-3 shootout win following a 1-1 tie Saturday was up 18 percent from the 1.1/3 for Inter Milan’s 2-0 win over Bayern in 2010, the first Champions League final played on a Saturday.
Barcelona-Manchester United was a more attractive matchup, featuring stars Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney.
Miami and Austin, Texas, tied for the highest rating at 2.6, followed by Dallas (2.2), and Washington D.C. and New York (each 2.1).
The overnights sample the 56 largest markets, with the rating representing the percentage watching among television households, and the share the percentage of those tuned in among those homes with televisions on at the time.
National ratings will be released Thursday.
