The situation of the Athletic Club in the Spanish championship, La Liga, is concerning. The team finds itself in a difficult position that could earn it a place as relegated, according to the latest audience data. This article explores the performance of Athletic in terms of television audiences, revealing the challenges it must overcome.
The audience data in La Liga
According to a report from the company Barlovento Comunicación, the Athletic Club currently occupies the fifteenth position in the rankings based on television audiences, with an average of 579,000 viewers per match. This is particularly concerning, given that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona largely dominate the rankings with 1.5 million and 1.3 million viewers on average, respectively.
It is important to note that these figures are regularly updated after each matchday. Barlovento also incorporates variables such as the number of guests and viewing from secondary residences to refine its statistics.
Comparison with other teams
When analyzing other clubs in La Liga, we find that only Atlético de Madrid (1.1 million) and Villarreal (1.0 million) exceed the one-million viewer mark. In fact, Villarreal is the only club to show more than five million unique viewers, indicating a constant interest in its matches, even beyond just audience numbers.
For the Basque teams, Real Sociedad is the one that attracts the most attention, ranking twelfth with 641,000 viewers on average, just slightly above Athletic. In contrast, Alavés does not fare much better, sitting in seventeenth position with 570,000 viewers per match.
Clubs in difficulty
At the bottom of the standings, we find Mallorca, Leganés, and Getafe, each struggling with low audience figures. Mallorca is the least followed club, with an average audience of 470,000 viewers, while Leganés and Getafe record 484,000 and 561,000 viewers, respectively.
With such revealing data, Athletic must rethink its strategies if it wishes to improve its presence not only on the field but also in the homes of fans.
The challenges are numerous, but the passion for football and the support of fans could help turn the tide before the club finds itself in an even more precarious situation.
