- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Real Betis defeated Real Madrid 1-0 on Friday at La Cartuja, handing manager Jose Mourinho his first La Liga loss of his second spell with the club. Troy Parrott scored the winning goal in the 81st minute, reacting quickly to a rebound after Thibaut Courtois saved a header from Nelson Deossa. Real Madrid had several opportunities to equalize, including a bicycle kick by Carlos Espi that was ruled out for offside following a VAR review and a shot by Kylian Mbappe that hit the crossbar. In stoppage time, Mbappe missed a penalty after Natan fouled Vinicius Junior; Betis goalkeeper Alvaro Valles saved the shot to secure the victory. Valles later stated he had studied Mbappe's penalty patterns to prepare for the save.
Post match reactions differed based on the perspectives of the managers. Jose Mourinho claimed his team dominated the match and deserved to win, suggesting that Betis played for a draw and got lucky. Manuel Pellegrini remained measured, stating that his team reacted well after a previous heavy defeat to Levante and that the result was fair because Betis converted their chance while Madrid did not. Some reports noted a provocative chest bump from Valles toward Mbappe following the penalty save, while others focused on the historical rivalry between Pellegrini and Mourinho.
