Real Madrid heads the table for the percentage of time leading

The 95th Big-5 Weekly Post of the CIES Football Observatory focuses on the percentage of minutes during which teams led since the start of the season. At the top of the table in the five biggest European football markets are Real Madrid (64.7% of minutes), Chelsea (56.3%) and Bayern Munich (52.4%).

Juventus also led for a majority of domestic league minutes (52.0%). This figure was below 40% for Paris St-Germain (39.8%), Barcelona (39.6%) and Manchester City 38.8%). The record low at big-5 league level was recorded for Sunderland (10.3%). This does not augur well for the Black Cats.
