What’s your soccer team’s nemesis?
<p><em>Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Manchester United vs Liverpool. Inter vs Milan. Olympique Lyonnais vs Olympique de Marseille. Chelsea vs everybody.</em></p>
<p><strong>European soccer is filled with some amazing rivalries. </strong>These rivalries got created and evolved over time for reasons on and off the pitch and are some of the hardest games that the teams have to face each season. But are these rivalries really the hardest games during the season? For example, even though Real Madrid vs Barcelona is one of the most important games in world soccer, it’s easy to forget how difficult of an opponent Real Sociedad or Athletic de Bilbao can be for Barcelona.</p>
<p>In this post I want to report the methodology and results of a data analysis I did to look at data from all matches from major European leagues across 8 seasons and find which opponent caused the most damage to each team. Aka,<strong> find each team’s nemesis.</strong></p>
