Champions League 2022/2023

You can't make this up though. [MENTION=30154]Temptation[/MENTION] bragging about Liverpool's spirit in CL and then them bottling a 2-0 lead.

"Book your tickets for Istanbul"

Did Barca ever have a meaningful comeback in CL? I can only think of PSG, but we didn't really play that well that day. Madrid keeps churning these out like it's a South Asian sweatshop

How does Liverpool have xG of 2? I barely remember any chances other than the 2 goals.

3 big chances for Pool: the 1st goal, the Courtois gift, and the double effort by Salah Nunez blocked on the line
1 big chance for Madrid the Allison gift

Don't think Vini second counted towards it too, nor the Rodrygo almost chance.

So that would skew the stats I guess. SuperLeague Playoff games are going to use xG to decide who wins though.

We don't do comebacks.

It's either full on domination/European double/treble or get destroyed.

No in between.

xG isnt worth focusing on and some numpties dont get what it shows as per usual.

La Liga barely has any decent attacking players outside top two.

Woeful stuff.

Teams lack intentsity/pace and quality.

The two best strikers in la liga are in their mid 30s. The rest are more or less EPL failures.

Yeah. I know Newcastle are good now, but Saint Maximim is like a Vini lite. Blistering pace. Forest got Johnson, Leeds Gnonto, Southampton Sulemana. Nearly every smaller team has a striker who is super fast. Funnily enough, the one thing this Man City team is missing now compared to before is pace up top. Their best season they had Sane and Sterling.

First half xG:
Liverpool 2.04 - 0.42 Madrid

Just as in CL final

This happens when you score outside the box though, it will never really register on xG.

You mean Vini's goal?
Wasn't it marginally inside the box?

In any case the shot was taken with many bodies infront from a difficult angle. That's never a big chance

Liverpool bottle I like to watch this ngl. Will never forgive them for the short corner

 

[Luftstalag14]

Madrid is Madrid.

 

[mc_lovin]

Gakpo is a nothing player that actually reminds me of Andre Gomes.
(really hope I jinx it)

 

[wisconsincule]

Yikes.

I wonder what the live line for Madrid was at 0-2.

 

[delancey]

Hahahaha
