Champions League Round of 16 (16th Feb - 17th Mar)

It’s a really weird article. Those definitely aren’t the best by percentages — for instance Bruno has 38/41 - 92% conversion rate.

Figure so. There were tons of articles when I searched, most were outdated. I also wonder how far back research was conducted - surely there were players prior to MVB with high rates and high conversions.

If you have the time/effort, or just want to know specific players, just search “player name X - penalty goals, transfermarkt”. They have them laid out quite nicely.

Another example of a player with a 90+ percentage rate https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raul-jimenez/elfmetertore/spieler/206040
 
Finally. RB Leipzig have been a joke in both legs frankly.
 
RB Leipzig are possibly one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen play in the Champions League.

What a truly awful football team.
 
Upamecano has looked a total dud in every CL game I’ve seen him in, honestly.
 
Liverpool as shit as they have been all season are going to win the Champions League

Calling it now....
Yes would be foolish to write them off with their history and tradition in this competition. They were in simliar league form in 2005. Won't be a surprise if they draw Porto next.
 
It’s insanely annoying. We lost to these lot AND Istanbul. So angry at our performances in the group.
Agreed. Such a shame we bottled it. With the state of the potential last 8 I’d have fancied us to go quite far if we had our heads screwed on.
 
Why does Messi take pens anyway, just saw a stat that he missed 24 out of 106, that sounds pretty bad.

Same reason Ronaldo takes free kicks I guess.
77%, average penalty success is roughly 75% so Messi is slightly above average with them.
 
People complain about Maguire being slow to turn, slow sideways, like a fridge , etc. Upamecano looks just the same. Has done a lot of good things today but in the end he was slow 1v1 at both goals.
 
Why do Leipzig need 5? Surely 4 would see them through on away goals?

Defensively he looks massively suspect. Which as a defender is a bit of an issue I'd say.
