Football statistics

Football statistics measure a team's or player's performance during a game or season. Key stats include goals scored, assists, and shots, which show offensive contribution. Defensive stats like tackles and interceptions indicate defense effectiveness. Other metrics such as possession percentage reflect control of the game. Goalkeeper stats like saves and clean sheets show defensive reliability. Advanced stats analyze aspects like expected goals (xG), which predict scoring chances. Together, these numbers provide insights into strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance, helping coaches, analysts, and fans understand how well a player or team is doing beyond just watching the game.
