Chinese TV exaggerates Real Madrid viewing figure by 50 times

It was supposed to be a landmark game, moved controversially to a midday kick-off in Spain to help Real Madrid reach a massive 7pm prime-time Saturday night audience in China.

Jose Mourinho’s side duly kicked off against Osasuna at 12.00pm in Spain on 6 November, winning the game 7-1, and Real subsequently reported that match had attracted a TV audience of 60 million in China.

Except it hadn’t. It appears that somebody at national broadcaster CCTV had made an error – or just invented the figure.

The true figure was 1.3m people watching in China, according to reliable audited data just available. That means CCTV – and Real – exaggerated the true total by almost 50 times.

The real figure comes via Kantar Media and has been reported on Sportcal (a subscription site but the headline is viewable on the news page on Monday afternoon).

Kantar collate viewing data in China via a subsidiary, CSM, who are the respected equivalents to BARB in the UK and Nielsen in the USA and many other countries.

The Real-Osasuna game was only shown on seven local channels in China with a potential total audience of just over 5m people. A figure of 1.3m was a decent proportion of the viewing public – but unfortunately 58.7m shy of the claimed 60m.

The midday games in Spain are likely to continue as La Liga tries to catch the world’s best-viewed domestic football competition, England’s Premier League.

    I have worn replicas many times to play . No biigge. Jerseys of all can and do rip at times. That happens. I usually wind up with puck marks on the jerseys more than holes . They are very durable

    Brazil and Italy are two of the world's leading football powers who have memorably met on the pitch on many occasions, but they come together in a more unusual way thanks to one small club. Clube Atlético Juventus are a small team based in a neighbourhood of Sao Paulo called Mooca, and were formed by Italian workers in the area in 1924. The Italian Juventus was the obvious inspiration for the club's name, but the team's colours were taken from another Italian club. Pele once stated that the most beautiful goal of his career was scored against Juventus, an event which is marked by a plaque at the club's ground.
