The European Champions League final match took place on June 1st, 2019 with Liverpool beating Tottenham 2 to 0. Because this years match was between two United Kingdom clubs, Gizmodo<\/a> asked our statisticians to take a look at how traffic across the U.K. was affected as fans dropped everything (including porn) to watch their favorite team play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Liverpool had by far the biggest traffic drop during the game-time. Preparations started early with traffic dropping by 14% two hours before the match, and reaching 32% below average at 9pm. London is one of Pornhub’s highest traffic cities<\/a>, so a 10% drop at 9pm was quite significant. Manchester traffic went as low as 11% below average and Birmingham was down 9% when the game started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the match ended, traffic in London and Birmingham was above average by 9% and 8% respectively. Liverpool traffic was slower to recover, possibly because fans were out celebrating their team’s win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our statisticians found similar changes across the U.K.’s countries. Northern Ireland traffic was down by 18% at the beginning of the match, while England and Wales dropped -10% and Scotland by -9% below that of a typical Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t just U.K. fans tuning in to watch their teams. We found traffic drops in most European countries even if their countries didn’t make the final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 8pm to 10pm, Finland’s traffic was down by -16%, Switzerland by -12.7% and Greece by -11.3%. Overall, U.K. traffic dropped by -9.3% during the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
