Europa League
I like EL purely for the fact it introduces me to players and teams I haven't previously considered.- Yannik

I hope so, but doubt Favre has the balls to drop Reus.- Yannik

Champions League
Bayern has some defensive flaps aswell. Honestly, CL is open this year. Can't see a "clear" favourite, could be the year of a surprise team. -

Champions League
But 2 likely results aren't as likely to happen as only 1 likely result. The probability that either one game doesn't go the way "on paper" predicts, is high. Especially in this group in which nothing went according to "on paper". Plus Inter are massive group stage bottlejobs. Remember how... -
Champions League
Inter is the least likely atm. Gladbach, Madrid and Shakhtar can qualify through their owns games and could even qualify through just a draw. Gladbach could even qualify via loosing to Madrid. Inter not only needs a win in their game, they also need to have Madrid beat Gladbach (or vice versa)... -
Champions League
lmao, of course, there's no other way around it. Imagine Inter beating Shakhtar in the early game, so Gladbach and Madrid can just agree a 0-0 and go both through. Would be a second disgrace of Dijon. -
Champions League
Atletico drew 1-1 vs Bayern. If they lose vs Salzburg, they're out. -
Champions League
I don't know if that was offside. He wasn't in sightline of the gk. He was in shotline, but he didn't touch the ball or affected the scene. -

Champions League
Honestly that Group B is the most entertaining group I've seen in years. -
Champions League
Yeah, Bayern is 7 points ahead, they play a B/C-squad today. Should be a comfortable win for Atleti, but maybe they'll bottle. -
Champions League
Also Salzburg leading 2-0 vs Lok. Meaning that if Atletico doesn't win today, they will play a final vs RB. -
Champions League
Yes, Lewandowskis shot was 6m out Berishas was 5m out, so it was valued higher as explained above. But the fact that Lewandowski practically just tapped it home against a goalkeeper lying flat on the floor - whereas Berisha had Neuer stretching practically 10cm before him - is not a factor... -
Champions League
But the point is: It doesn't measure that reliably yet. xG values were originally attributed simply to the position from where a shot was taken. Over the years a few more factors were put in. 1on1s, headers or weak foot strong foot were added and inconsistently applied. But too many... -
Youssoufa Moukoko
Bojan and Moukoko kinda had the same youth level hype, because they scored like 40-50 goals every season. Moukoko even at 3-4 years younger than his opponents though. Goes to show that this hype is dangerous though.- Yannik

Champions League
But nevertheless of it being excluded on that map, it is still mentioned in that stat because even xG agrees that it matters. The whole point of the statistic is to showcase who had better attempts at goal, so you would obviously add the own goal to the hypthesis you make from that stat. Even if... -
Champions League
But.. why? It happened, it counts. There's no rational reason to exclude that from any statistical viewpoint.. Especially when you then also go on to include a goal that should not stand. It just purposely distorts the picture and the impression you try to gain from such statistics. -
Champions League
Isn't this just 2.4 vs 2.6? Plus Salzburg scored from a goal marginably offside. It was a very equal game however, Bayern wins how they do so often: Efficiency in front of goal and Manuel Neuer. -
Champions League
Kinda shows you have to give your best vs the weakest opponent in the group and that's already six points and you're with 1 foot into the knockouts. Makes you wonder why Madrid and Inter can't do that.
