Authors : Saoudi Ayyoub .

Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzed goal-scoring patterns in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League using key performance indicators such as scoring methods, timing, locations, and body parts used. A descriptive survey method was applied, including all participating teams. Data were collected through systematic observation, analyzing 618 goals across 189 matches using video analysis. Results showed a high scoring rate of 3.27 goals per match, exceeding previous seasons, possibly due to the new competition format. Most goals (75%) came from open play, highlighting the importance of dynamic attacking. Additionally, 22% of goals were scored in the final 15 minutes, indicating the influence of fitness and tactical adjustments. Technically, 52% of goals were scored with the right foot, and 62% occurred inside the penalty area. These findings provide valuable insights for coaches and analysts to better understand goal-scoring behavior in modern elite football.
