beIN MEDIA GROUP’s flagship sports channel beIN SPORTS saw viewership numbers soar last month during the eventful UEFA Champions League final match in Paris’ Stade de France – drawing approximately 88 million viewers for the stand-alone finale according to IPSOS figures. 

With the help of a close-range goal from Brazilian winger Vinícius Júnior in the 59th minute, Real Madrid was crowned the European football champions once again, taking home the coveted trophy after beating Liverpool 1-0 in a record-extending 14th win for the Spanish giants.

The match was aired live and exclusively on beIN SPORTS - in three languages with dedicated Arabic and English studios - across all 24 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) on Saturday, 28 May.
