As a Chicago-born NBA analytics veteran turned football data geek, I’ve crunched the numbers. Real Madrid’s elite squad depth, even battered by injuries, still overwhelms Pachuca’s structural defensive flaws. His 60.6% possession and 89.8% pass accuracy + Pachuca’s 11% shot conversion + 68% save rate = inevitability. Weather? Hot. Crowd? Biased. But stats don’t lie — this is a classic mismatch.
