Table 5: _Cont._Table 6 shows multiple comparisons in game indicators according to the final ranking. In general, the most prominent game indicators, in favor of Europe teams, were the possession of the ball and total passes, which resulted in more attacking actions. The trend was similar in all three periods, although these game indicators were particularly prominent in the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods, with a large effect (0.800\(-\)\(\geq\)1.000).
