You could say that, although someone else could say that makes their victories all the more impressive.
@arsenescoatmaker: Luck plays its part sure but that’s football and sport in general, takes nothing away from the accomplishments of the respective sides that won.
Chelsea and Liverpool you could say fluked the CL in terms of they beat better teams you would never have expected them to, on paper.
Man united in 1999 I’d disagree is a a fluke. Bayern were a better team in the final, but they had both Scholes and Keane out for it and those 2 bossed Juventus in the semis among other teams.
You still need to play great football to get the fluke…
Also more and more star studded team in recent years, and the chance to fluke is slim.
That’s reality
Leicester did fluke the league because no one took them seriously in the first half of the season. If the same players came out with Man United or Arsenal kits teams would of given them a harder time.
They didn’t fluke it, the league was just unbelievably shit. Which is kinda like fluking it. Leicester winning the league was a bit like Giroud fluking into being better than Sanogo.
Leicester is out of many cups many times in the past decades and never won the league. I think the rest of England bottling it that season could be labelled a fluke as well.
I remember that cl season. Couldn’t believe my eyes how Chelsea were not conceding. Bayern hitting the woodwork left right and top. Bayern were completely all over them and so were Barca the game before. It was sheer luck in the end on Chelsea’s behalf.
when something has a finite chance of happening, it can happen. A load of stuff had to happen for Chelsea to win that game and it did. Low probability for sure but still within realms of possibility
