Football in August, Atalanta is following Juve in the ratings

(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 13 - In the crazy summer of August football, Atalanta is following Juve in the ratings: the Nerazzurridi Gasperini, who in yesterday's match against Paris Saint-Germain saw access to the semi-finals of Champions League, have glued to the small screen 6.3 million fans, of which 5.1 million on Channel 5 and 1.2 million tuned to pay on Sky, equal to a share of 34.6%. Last 7 August Juventus-Lyon - with the elimination of the bianconeri - collected a total of 6.4 million spectators (5.4 million on Canale 5 and 1 million on Sky) with 34%. The other Italian team involved in Championships, Napoli, defeated by Barcelona, ​​had 3.8 million spectators on Canale 5 and 712 thousand on Sky.
    This is the picture that emerges from the processing of Auditel data by the Observatory of the Frasi Studio. Among the aSky subscribers, Atalanta has produced more plays (1 million 173 millionaudience) than Juve (1 million 60 thousand). Very high - 60.4% - the permanence of those who followed the meeting with PSG, with the attention remained high until the end.
    On the Serie A front, Auditel still crowns Juventus as queen, but this year the record was undermined by Inter.
   In the championship that ended on 2 August after a strenuous post-Covid run, the highest audience was achieved, both on the first leg and the return, by the matches between the two teams: Inter-Juventus 3.2 million spectators and Juventus- Inter 3 million, both exclusively on Sky. In the ten most watched games, all on Sky, Juve and Inter are present six times, Napoli three times, Milan and Roma twice, Lazio once.
    "In this anomalous summer, football is a foothold for imagining a return to life normally lived", comments Francesco Siliato, head of the StudioFrasi Observatory. Among other things, he points out, "summer ratings are always underestimated, even more so in the event of events: the Auditel, in fact, does not detect ratings in second homes, bars, hotels and public places".
