Opta highlighted that during Amorim's time at Manchester United, he suffered 19 Premier League losses—the second-most—behind Postecoglou's 21 at Tottenham. Spurs beat United 1-0 in the 2025 Europa final in Bilbao via Brennan Johnson's goal, but both managers were later sacked: Amorim today after a 31.9% win rate, and Postecoglou after Tottenham's 17th-place finish despite the trophy, plus a brief stint at Nottingham Forest. The statistic captures football's harsh realities, as fans traded banter over the irony of high-profile flops colliding in Europe.

Key Takeaway

A popular post compared four massive transfers—Neymar's €222 million shift to PSG in 2017, Hazard's €115 million flop at Real Madrid in 2019, Ronaldo's 2018 Juventus switch, and Messi's 2021 free move to PSG—asking which was the worst. Ronaldo's decision topped the list for many, as he left Madrid's dynasty at age 33, delivered two Scudettos and 81 Serie A goals but saw Juventus exit early in Europe three straight years. Hazard's injury-plagued run yielded just 7 goals in 76 games, Neymar managed 118 goals over six years without Champions League success, and Messi added two titles despite PSG's European struggles. Fans often spare Messi due to Barcelona's financial woes, while nostalgia lingers for Ronaldo's unreal 2011/12 Madrid season of 60 goals.

Key Takeaway

Ronaldo's 2018 move from Real Madrid to Juventus still haunts fans, trading Champions League triumphs for a Serie A stint that ended in disappointment.
