Yes, 295,600, according to Broadcast. At the same time Norwich vs Ipswich on Sky got 541,300, although it was a massive Championship game and a pretty run-of-the-mill (on paper, I know the actual match turned out to be quite something) Premier League game.

I seem to recall that when the Beeb didn't have the rights to the FA Cup, they also lost the rights to show archive footage from after a certain date, I don't think they could show any from the previous decade. I don't suppose Sky would want to show archive Champions League stuff anymore anyway.
