🎲 This is why we love football. Its not all about statistics and the best team does not always win. We have to adjust for context In all of these games yesterday, the team with the least amount of xG ended up winning. Biggest upset was Villas defensive masterclass against Bayern and Juventus beating Leipzig basically playing with 10 men the whole game❗️ 🏆 Champions League Results (𝘅𝗚): Girona - Feyenoord 2-3 (𝟮.𝟯𝟬 - 𝟭.𝟴𝟲) Aston Villa Bayern München 1-0 (𝟬.𝟰𝟬 - 𝟭.𝟱𝟱) Lille -  Real Madrid 1-0 (𝟭.𝟭𝟵 - 𝟮.𝟭𝟴) RB Leipzig  - Juventus 2-3 (𝟯.𝟯𝟳 - 𝟭.𝟮𝟬 + 🟥) 🍀 It is important for clubs and coaches to accept that luck plays a big part in football, and to look for the performance behind the results (xG is a good indicator) ⏱️ Game state will also affect the accumulation of xG and the result. A team that scores early will most often sit back, protect their lead and take a more cautious approach. The team behind will statistically generate more shots than their opponent and effectively boost their xG numbers #expectedgoals #football #statistics #dataanalysis

jonews.ng | Latest Nigeria newsEPL: Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface in shock move to Arsenal Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, could make a shock move to Arsenal this January window. Boniface, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is set to join up with his Nigerian team mates for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. The Gunners are in the market for potential forward additions this winter. Football London reports that Boniface is one of the names under consideration. The 23-year-old is understood to be an Arsenal fan and that could give the Premier League side a huge advantage when it comes to a potential transfer deal. It may be a move that has to wait until the summer if it goes ahead, though. Leverkusen are leading the way in the Bundesliga title race and will not want to give up their best striker. Although there is no sell-on fee that the German side have to adhere to, they would likely also want a significant fee. https://lnkd.in/dfxKA7WA #Uncategorized
