Roland Dobbins, an engineer with network performance firm Netscout said the outage was due to an accidental traffic jam issue with a European internet company that collided with Facebook and other websites.

"While not malicious in nature, such events can prove disruptive on a widespread basis," he said.

This really sucks. It may not seem like a big deal unless you use your Facebook to log in to other services. Bleacher Report Live carries the Champions League. I wasn’t able to watch through that because I log in through my Facebook. Luckily, it was showing in TNT also and I logged in to that app.
