Juventus is the most popular club left in the Champions League. If you’re watching the UEFA Champions League round of 16 these days, chances are you’re supporting Juventus or Barcelona. After all, most of Europe is. According to Forza Football, a Sweden-based fan app that collects data from more than 4 million users across the continent, Juve or Barça was the favorite remaining Champions League team in 32 out of 45 countries polled. For the Spanish giant, it makes perfect sense. Barcelona has won the tournament three times in the past decade and is backed from Iceland to Slovenia. Juventus was more surprising. Despite being crowned champions of Italy three years in a row, the club has only reached the quarterfinals of Europe’s most prestigious tournament once since 2006. And still, it retains a huge following in Eastern Europe. For teams with more recent success, like English club Chelsea or Bayern Munich of Germany, titles have bred contempt on the rest of the continent. Chelsea, among the favorites this season, is only the top club in Great Britain, according to Forza. Bayern’s major appeal, meanwhile, is in Germany and Austria. As for the defending champions, Real Madrid, Los Blancos only carry four countries—including Hungary and Luxembourg, but not Spain. Paris Saint-Germain isn’t much for reaching beyond its home country’s borders, either, but boasts the most random combination of fans: France and Sweden. Still, there is an explanation. PSG’s biggest star is Malmö native Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

London’s April downpour couldn’t damp the enthusiasm of these Liverpool girls, garlanded with the colours their team and ringing a hand-bell, as they toured the city before going to Wembley Stadium.
England Women’s players take to Twitter in reaction to the news that England will take on Germany in a friendly at Wembley Stadium in November. The Lionesses’ clash with the European champions and second ranked team in the world will be the first women’s football match to be played at Wembley since the Olympics in 2012.
