This study aimed to examine the differences in physical performance when winning and losing in UEFA Champions League (UCL) matches. Data were collected using an optical tracking system from all UCL matches (n = 125) in the 2022/23 season. A linear mixed model was used to examine the differences in physical performance in won and lost matches while controlling for match location, team formation, opponent quality, playing time, red cards, and between-player, -team, and -match variations.

- The study investigated how environmental heat stress (EHS), measured by wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), impacted the running performance of elite soccer teams during UEFA Champions League matches.
- Results showed that matches played in high heat (WBGT ≥22°C) led to reduced total distance and intensity in running compared to cooler conditions (WBGT <22°C).
- The findings suggest coaches should adapt playing and recovery strategies in hot conditions to maintain performance and minimize physical strain on players.
