Introduction: Football is considered one of the most popular systems in the world, among others, technical indicators of football are devoid of scientific studies. Their study can identify the favorable and unfavorable characteristics of a team and exploit them for their own benefit, which makes it a tool to be investigated by experts in the field in order to contribute to the evolution of sport. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the technical variables of ball possession (BP), finalization (FI), certain passes (CP), wrong passes (WP) and disarm (DI) of the teams that won and lost, of each match of the knockout phase of the Champions League, season 2014/2015. Materials and Methods: All 29 matches in the knockout round were analyzed, with 7 games being discarded that ended in a draw in the normal time. Results: We observed that the winning teams showed significant difference (p<0.05) in the indicators BP, FI, and CP. The variables WP (p=0.82) and DI (p=0.32) did not present significant differences comparing the winners and losers of the Champions League. Conclusion: It was concluded that the teams that won showed significant differences in the technical indicators showing better results than the teams that lost. However, the technical variables of wrong passes and disarms did not show differences between the winning and loser teams.Introdução: O futebol é considerado um dos esportes mais populares do mundo, entretanto, os indicadores técnicos do futebol são carentes de estudos científicos.
