I thought it was funny how the expected goals was inverse to the actual result. In a way it shows the quality difference between the two teams
I really don’t think they had any clear chances, most of it was just blocked shots and xG doesn’t take defender or gk position
I’m so tired of watching this team under Ancelotti. It’s getting worse for every passing season.
Feel like this kind of match has been your identity for years.
When Real beat Liverpool in the final in 2021, they did not beat a single team in the knockout phase on xG. It’s just what Real does, they step up when they need to
That was one of the most one sided Liverpool games I’ve ever seen and we lost.
Well yeah, they played against PSG, Liverpool, Man City, and Chelsea. We’re talking about Braga here, who spent 1/5 of what Madrid did on transfers this summer, who haven’t been in the UCL since the 2010-11 season. Very impressive display by Braga.
Nothing to see here, just normal Madrid stats under Ancelotti.
The thing that ancelotti promotes among all his players is to play versatile football and to trust their intuition which is why he works so well with young talents. You never know what kind of style they might bring out because it is a little bit more of a free for all among the forwards who constantly swap with midfielders and fullbacks constantly involved in attacks.

Big match pedigree. They have the killer instinct and are an anti-thesis to xG reliance
Might not make for pretty viewing, but they win a lot
