Commenting on the findings, James Loxdale, Sports Analyst at Betmaster Ireland said, "The UEFA Champions League is renowned for its high-stakes drama, where every moment counts. The timing of goals can significantly influence a match's outcome, the fans' emotions, and even the strategic decisions made by coaches.

"Early goals can set the tone for a match, providing a team with a psychological advantage. However, they can also force the trailing team to adopt a more attacking approach, potentially creating counterattack opportunities. Late goals, on the other hand, can add a dramatic twist to a match, turning a seemingly comfortable lead into a tense affair."
