I gotta tell ya, last night’s match got me itching to dive into the stats. First thing I grabbed my laptop, smashed the Premier League app open. Scrolled straight to the Liverpool section, hunting for that PSG showdown.
Found the stats page easy enough. Then fired up my notes app side-by-side. Started scribbling down possession numbers – bloody hell! Liverpool had 63% ball time? Against PSG’s superstars? Couldn’t believe my eyes so I triple-checked ESPN’s match report too.
Key stats that slapped me in the face:
- Shots on target: Liverpool 8 vs PSG’s measly 3
- Corners: 6 for Reds, just 2 for French lot
- Salah completed more dribbles than Mbappé? Madness!
Cross-referenced everything with UEFA’s database, took screenshots like crazy. Nearly spilled coffee when I saw the passing accuracy – Henderson hit 92% while Verratti barely scraped 81%. Saved all the screenshots in my “Football Analysis” folder.
Found two different stats sites showing conflicting foul counts. Got proper annoyed, so I dug up the official referee report. Turned out both were wrong – actual count was 14 fouls total, not 11 or 17 like those clowns reported.
Spotted something juicy in the heatmaps too. Liverpool’s left side was glowing red hot the whole match while PSG’s right defense looked like Swiss cheese. Zoomed in till my eyes hurt just to be sure.
Final confirmation came from three places:
- Official Premier League match center
- UEFA’s Champions League archives
- That football stats guru Dave who always double-checks referee notes
Now my notes look proper messy with arrows everywhere and coffee stains. But the numbers don’t lie – Klopp’s boys dominated that game start to finish. Shocking how stats can tell a completely different story than the highlights show, innit?
