As a data-driven analyst who sees soccer as a system of probabilities, not passion—I watched Nasser’s face turn iron-gray as Botafargo clawed their way to top the B-group table. This wasn’t luck. It was a model failure. My ShotIQ algorithm flagged this outcome weeks ago. The numbers didn’t lie: PSG’s spending was noise, Botafargo’s efficiency was signal. I don’t care about drama—I care about coefficients. And yes, the ‘tyrant’ and the ‘kid’ are just human distractions in a data-rich game.
