Abstract

The opinions regarding the impact of the domestic league's competitive balance (CB) on continental club competition sporting success are divided. Through the data of the last 18 seasons (2004/05–2021/22) and 576 games, we have examined whether the teams from a more balanced domestic league can achieve more unexpected results in the Champions League group stage. The current study aims to contribute to previously published literature by applying the market value-based surprise index. The results of panel logistic regression models suggest that a lower domestic league's CB in a given season can support teams to overperform in the international field in the same season.

国内竞争失衡是冠军联赛出人意料的 "代价"

关于国内联赛的竞技平衡（CB）对洲际俱乐部赛事体育成就的影响，众说纷纭。通过过去 18 个赛季（2004/05-2021/22）和 576 场比赛的数据，我们研究了来自更均衡的国内联赛的球队是否能在欧洲冠军联赛小组赛中取得更出人意料的成绩。本研究旨在通过应用基于市场价值的意外指数，为之前发表的文献做出贡献。面板逻辑回归模型的结果表明，在特定赛季中，较低水平国内联赛的 CB 可支持球队在同一赛季的国际赛场上取得优异成绩。
