What is the Snickometer technology being used in VAR in Euro 2024 and its meaning and rules and football #var #snickometer #football #euro #euro2024

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Madrid got through the final after a 2-2 draw against Bayern in the semifinal second leg (30/04/2024). The first match in Madrid, Real won 2-1. For a lot of people Kim, Bayern centerback, was to blame for Vini Jr's goal, after a brilliant pass from Tony Kross. I have a different opinion. The centerback is suposed to chase strikers in between lines in order to prevent them from receiving the ball and control the play. Vini Jr. was very deceptive when, firstly, he went to support Tony Kross (in what the Spaniards call "desmarque de apoyo") and then he breakway towards Neuer's defended area (in what the Spaniards call "desmarque de ruptura"). A fantastic move that caught Bayer's deffender out off balance. However, Kimmich should have provided Kim the proper cover to allow him to perform his task. Kimmich was too wide open towards the right side of the pitch making the German line of defenders too stretched. He was very far from the center of the game and did not support his teammate properly. If the line were short Kim could have been covered by Kimmich who would have stop Tony Kross's assistance to Vini Jr. A tiny detail that could have made all the diference. #football #footballinternational #Brazilianfootball #worldfootball #Europeanfootball #Americansoccer #Asiafootball https://lnkd.in/d5wdxkMb

⭐ UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Finalists overview ⭐ Just before the 2023/24 Champions League final, let's have a look on some stats from this year's competition of the two finalists and their opponents till they reach the final. Some first notes: ◾ We see that Real Madrid C.F. xgoals and actual goals as per 90 minutes, are the same both for scored and conceeded. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund scored more than xgoals created and conceeded way less! ◾ In goal and shot creating actions, Real Madrid C.F. has more with Shots, dribbling opponents (Take on) and live passes, while Borussia Dortmund has more with Defensive actions, Fouls won and Dead-ball passes (corners, throw ins etc). ❔ Will the above be confirmed on the final?
