Where everything on this site comes from, which parts are our own reading, and what a visit shares with anyone.
Fixtures, kick-off times, venues, club crests and league goals and assists: football-data.org, for the Champions League.
Squad values, head coaches and most valuable players: Transfermarkt, as of 2 Nov 2026.
How each club plays: published match analysis and previews. Every line shows the outlet, the author where one is named, the date, and the sentence it was written from, with a link to the original.
Where to watch: UEFA's list of its broadcast partners for the season, country by country, under the name each service goes by. Where a country splits the matches between services, all of them are named.
Two things on this site are ours, not a record: the watch score out of 10, and the calls at the top of a match's “What to watch for”. Both are our reading of squad values and published analysis. Every reason behind a score is printed beside it, a reason written from published analysis has its sources one tap away, and a match we cannot read says so rather than scoring low.
The preview paragraph that opens “What to watch for” is ours too. It says the calls in words and draws only on the facts and quotes on that page, with its sources one tap away.
Both appear for the next round only, from the morning after the previous round's last match, and are updated every week until kick-off. Once a match has been played, its page stays as it was at kick-off.
Each quote is short, credited to its outlet by name, dated, and linked to the original. It stays in the language it was published in; a translation beside it is ours and marked as such.
The quotes are there so you can check a line against what was actually written, not to replace the original. Follow the link to read the full piece.
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any host, it handles every request, and so processes your IP address and browser details to deliver the site and protect it. Your browser may also report failed connections to Cloudflare.
Cloudflare also counts visits for us, with a small script of its own on each page: which page was opened, the site that linked to it, and the country, device and browser it was opened from. We see those as totals, along with how often each page and each broadcaster link was requested.
Another small script, ours, restates kick-off times in your own timezone, using your device's clock, and from that timezone shows where the match is on in your country. If you pick another country, your browser remembers the choice on your device.
Links to outlets and broadcasters take you to their sites, which have their own privacy policies.
Why: to deliver the site, keep it safe, and know which pages people use. That is what the GDPR calls a legitimate interest.
Cloudflare is an American company. It moves data from Europe to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and its own privacy policy says how long it keeps what it handles.
What we hold ourselves is those totals, which do not identify anyone, so there is nothing of yours for us to look up or delete. If you have a concern about how your data is handled, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
