1 year agoI’ll always remember Man C v Wigan in the FA Cup, where Wigan won 1-0. Man C had ~30 shots, but most were off target, and over 80% possesion. Wigan had 1 or 2 shots and won the game.
OK… but that’s one game. Can a bad team get lucky and beat a better team in one match? Sure. Can they get lucky enough to win the 6-8 games in a row it would take to win the whole thing? Way more dubious. Can they get lucky enough to win a league over 38 games? Almost definitely not.
Counting total international trophies makes no sense, not all tournaments are the same. Like Nacional has 19 total but only 3 Libertadores. 3 Intercontinental cups as well for what you could count as top level trophies.
10 are one off-matches from short-lived competitions. Using just number of Libertadores won would likely be better.
