The Facebook Champions League XI

The UEFA Champions League is the most popular club competition of the football world and all the participating teams know about the importance of Social Media these days.

The media and marketing departments of European football clubs have realised the importance of Social Media like Facebook to keep in touch with the fans around the globe. They use the plattform to interact with their supporters, offer special infos and exclusives, contests, fantasy games and a lot more.

But which clubs have managed to get the most out of Facebook? Which clubs have the most fans, the best design, the best interaction, the best additional Facebook apps, etc?

I had a proper look at all the official Facebook pages of the 32 clubs taking part in the UEFA Champions League 2011/12 season and the result is “The Facebook Champions League XI”!
