Granada Enterprises is launching a dedicated Champion’s League area on itv.com/football to support its comprehensive broadcast coverage on ITV.

Granada has partnered with Opta Sportsdata to provide new online Champions League content. The new area will provide fans with rich, live match updates as well as a definitive breakdown of all Champions League performance statistics, by team and by individual player.

Aidan Cooney, Managing Director of Opta Sportsdata, said: “The partnership has been forged to create the most comprehensive and compelling football coverage on the Internet to complement ITV's fantastic broadcast coverage. Combining this with Playaformance TM, the most dynamic and exciting interactive football content that has ever been available, is a mouth-watering prospect for the football fan."

Colin Ramsay, Online Sales Controller, commented: “True footie fans love to scrutinise the facts that matter, now we’re giving them the opportunity to find out live match updates online – itv.com/football will give them the ultimate proof that Thierry Henry really is a better striker than Ronaldo!

“We’re hoping that this new content will attract additional young upmarket males to the site.
This year's competition is also extra special not only because we still have three British sides competing - Man Utd, Arsenal and Newcastle, but also because the Final will be held on May 28th at Manchester's Old Trafford.”

Opta Sportsdata Limited today announced that it will be launching revolutionary new live football statistics and analysis products during the 2001/2 football season that will enable enriched broadcast coverage of the sport and the development of sophisticated new products for the gambling market.

Opta Sportsdata has developed a proprietary technology and methodology for the simultaneous collection and analysis of live information and statistics from uninterrupted team ball sports. Playaformance statistics consist of statistical data (up to 3,000 different actions or events per 90 minute game) from all game participants. It has also established an advance distribution mechanism that enables customers to receive the information in a format of its choice from an indexed menu which means the customer gets its exact requirement.

Opta Sportsdata will generate revenue from the sale of these feeds and products derived from these feeds to media, gaming and gambling organisations.
