97 pages full of interesting stuff, like the average amount of time a team was in possession before scoring was 12.5 seconds. Liverpool's average possession prior to scoring was 7.81 seconds, and contained 2.51 passes. The fastest sprint recorded was 34.5km/h. It was of course made by Virgil van Dijk.

This review of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions
League season serves as a record of a campaign
that spanned 125 matches between the start of
the group stage last September and the final in
Madrid on 1 June.

The 20th UEFA Champions League technical
report of its kind, it aims to provide a meaningful
analysis of the action via the input of UEFA's
Technical Observers’ Group

...The report is backed by statistical analysis and
with the tendencies identified in the following
pages, UEFA aims to provide a meaningful tool
for coaches across the continent. It will be made
available to members of the coaching family and,
hopefully, will help development coaches stay aware
of the prevailing styles and strategies, as well as the
qualities required, at the elite end of the club game.
