Champions League distance meter.

What technology do they use to say how many meters each player covered during the game? Chelsea covered 144 KM as a team tonight.

Was thinking this myself. Pedometers on each player or cameras tracking them individually.

I often wonder this myself and cant seem to find any info on it.
I half suspect they make it up.

I was wondering about that too. I found this after a bit of googling a while ago but it doesnt say how it does it.

Probably the same as the ones used in the prem. They have ut at anfield, something along the lines of 9 cameras in each corner that can identify each player and their movement throught the game by feeding all of the shots through a program of some description.

yup it is done by cameras in the CL afaik too.

Dont be at yourself

They've an individual camera on each player I believe. Some computing wizadry makes it all happen.

Most big clubs use this: http://www.pzfootball.co.uk/ which gives huge indepth analysis on individual players and movements during a match.
