Kanté was moved into a more advanced role in the second half to press higher in the hope of creating turnovers in the final third. It would appear this move was designed to mask the unsuitability of Kovačić to a more attacking role.

None of the goals were directly on him but at the same time, he did not have a particularly good outing.

In a moment that summed up his season, the goal was chalked off because Tammy’s trailing leg was offside in a phase of play that did not matter to the goal itself. A little bit of tactical creativity such as moving Alphonso Davies, a disappointing winger to full-back, can go a long way towards changing the dynamics of the team.

Chelsea started too many players who are, at best, only good enough to be squad options at serious clubs. This is not to say he should be sold immediately either.

He is superb at progressing the ball, but that alone does not make a world-class midfielder.

Tonight’s scoreline actually ‘equals’ the biggest aggregate win ever in a Champions League quarter-final, which was recorded when Real Madrid beat Cypriot side Apoel in 2017.

As well as watching and writing about the game, I enjoy a kickabout too.

It is bizarre how he has fallen out of favour to the extent that he has, considering how poor some of his more senior teammates have been. Legends team The FC Bayern Legends team was founded in the summer of 2006 with the aim of bringing … European champions Bayern Munich face a test of their strength in depth with a flurry of fixtures, starting Saturday in the Bundesliga as the defending Bundesliga champions attempt to … Here are 11 of them.

The club needs profound change. Callum Hudson-Odoi scored a peach of a goal that was ruled out because of a marginal and totally irrelevant offside call, akin to how Pulisic’s goal was disallowed against Liverpool in the Super Cup. There is not a lot anyone associated with Chelsea could have done about these games. He will have better displays.
Lampard praised James’ resilience to bounce back from a torrid showing in the first leg.

Chelsea are not perfect and Chelsea are not close to the best teams in the world. NB: Unless otherwise specified, when we say stuff like ‘in Champions League history’, we mean since the competition was restructured and branded as such in 1992. Atletico Madrid’s Champions League match at Bayern Munich will be played behind closed doors with all stadiums in the Bavarian city closed until 25 October at the earliest. I’m a football (soccer) writer who follows what’s happening in the game across the world, from Southampton to Sapporo and everywhere in between. Au total, Neymar et Kylian Mbappé ont tenté 23 tirs lors de ce Final 8. Le Bayern est devenu la deuxième équipe à remporter le triplé Championnat / Coupe nationale / Ligue des champions à deux reprises (2012-13 et 2019-20), après Barcelone (2008-2009 et 2014-2015). The team picked for this game appeared stronger on paper than the one used in the first leg. My writing has appeared in the Guardian and in many indie football magazines such as Pickles and In Bed With Maradona. Even without the goal, this was perhaps Tammy’s best performance since the restart.

To expose someone like Lewis Bate or Dynel Simeu to the sheer ferocity of Bayern could have had detrimental effects on their development. He's just opening the scoring in the 2019-20 #UCL quarter-final. The problem with Christensen these days is not that he is “soft” or that he is scared to go into duels, it is the fact he cannot stay switched on throughout a game. Overall, they have 39 goals in nine games. On only one occasion have they scored fewer than three, a 2-0 win at home to Olympiacos in the group stage.

His skillset means he is neither an “attacking 8” nor a defensive midfielder. It analyzes both the player passing and the player receiving the ball, giving more weight to moves that bypass opposition defenders and don’t involve the striker losing possession.

Keeping him will not harm the team and he is a useful option to have off the bench.

This is one more than the previous best in terms of goals scored in a single Champions League quarter-final game.

For example, a defense-splitting through-ball gets the ball past four opposition players while a sideways pass by a central defender gets the ball past nobody at all.

Top soccer clubs on the other hand use this data to help analyze matches and recruit new players. Having shown a lot of mental strength to bounce back from a dismal first season, the onus is on Kovačić to improve more and find himself a spot from where he can contribute. The most goals any team has ever scored in a single Champions League campaign is Liverpool (47 in 2017/18), and they had the luxury of two-legged ties. Was slightly better than Christensen but considering the overall performance, that says more about his partner in defence than it does about him. That makes an average of 4.3 per match. So technically his wait for a bona fide away goal goes on. The numbers behind the last game of the season. One would think this issue will be fixed as the club signs better players. No fans have been in the stands in Spanish football since early March, with no football fans allowed back into stadiums across the nation due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. pic.twitter.com/27qL7a7rub, According to Opta, Barcelona named their ‘oldest’ lineup in Champions League history tonight in terms of average age (29 years and 329).

Soccer is becoming more data-driven, but the complexity of the game means that it is much harder to analyze with statistics compared to sports like Baseball and Basketball.
