Truly evaluating the relative merit of football teams through statistical magnificence.
We found the arbitrary point systems of many sports league to be entirely unfounded. Three points to a victor? Why? Just track who beat whom, and use Bayesian inference!
Please note that there exist a few Facebook groups and Twitter handles that claim this website as their own. While we appreciate the promotion, it must be stated explicitly that we are not affiliated with any of them.
Here we predicted Liverpool as the eventual winner.
One million Monte Carlo samples were bootstrapped to yield mean powers
for Manchester City and Chelsea of 0.122 and 0.119, respectively, at 99% confidence with error margins limited to even lower digits.
Hence, Manchester City was the true victor of the 2020-2021 Champions League.
