Check Out Soccerment for in-depth Statistics: https://bit.ly/3U3vOn5 Statistics can be quite misleading, and for years now we’ve become accustomed to seeing the same possession, shots and passing metrics after every match, under the assumption that these numbers give us an accurate representation of how a game unfolded and how the teams performed.
