The "metaphysical" factor of Manchester United losing to Tottenham Hotspur? One 100% loss, the other 100% win

Football match is a competition of team strength, and it is also a battle between the players' fighting spirit and state. The good side can basically win, especially when they meet in the finals, they will not lie. However, sometimes, "metaphysical factors" are also necessary conditions. Good or bad luck can really "steal the trend".

For example, Manchester United lost to Tottenham 0-1 in the UEFA Cup final and missed a complete victory to win the trophy. Onana started the game in this game and played the whole game. Although he had good save performances and tried to ensure the stability of Manchester United's goal, he failed to help the team win. Johnson's goal was something he really couldn't save.

Interestingly, this is already Onana's third European final defeat. Previously, when Onana played for Ajax in the 16/17 season, she lost to her opponent in the UEFA Cup final. It was Manchester United's trophy that time, which was also their most recent championship trophy. Later, when playing for Inter Milan in the 22/23 season, Onana almost played the best season of her career, but unfortunately, she lost to Manchester City in the Champions League final. This season, he played for Manchester United and lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final. After three consecutive losses, Onana was indeed very upset and had bad luck.

What people are afraid of is comparison. If Onana is just "unfavorable for the passing of years", then Romero on the opposite side is "annoying". VS Manchester United, Romero performed at the top and got the highest score to win the MVP. In addition, this game is the fifth time in Romero's career to participate in the finals, winning all 5 times. Romero basically played in these 5 games, with 4 of which achieved zero marks.

In contrast, one is "100% lost" and the other is "100% won", which is indeed black humorous.

Romero's career finals:

2021 Copa America finals, Argentina 1-0 Brazil, Romero started 79 minutes

2022 European and American Cup, Argentina 3-0 Italy, Romero started 85 minutes

2022 World Cup finals, Argentina penalties battle 7-5 France, Romero played the whole game

2024 Copa America finals, Argentina overtime 1-0 Colombia, Romero played the whole game
