What are some your favorite end of season chokes?
For me they're:
>2012/13 Benfica (webm)
>2013/14 Liverpool
>2015/16 Ajax
>and the classic, 18-1
2015/2016 golden state warriors
Benfica's choke always puts a smile on my face.
13/14 Liverpool is overrated. It's super memeworthy because he slipped after saying this does not slip but it wasn't as big of a choke that people make it out to be. They never had a commanding lead over City and there was almost no room for error.
11/12 United was much worse, they were up by something like 8 points with 6 games remaining
Spurs 5-1
Atletico Madrid 2014
>>67854558
The pro-united media never seem to bring that season up. If they ever do it's mostly to do with the aguerooo rather than the choke
It's sickening
>>67854558
It's not about points but what it represents
>bottleling your best chance of winning the league with your lifelong club after more than 20 years because you slipped after saying "this does not slip"
>>67855038
>It's not about points but what it represents
So memes. They were up against the 3rd best team in the league and couldn't afford to lose a single game. They were the title favourites at that point but it was far from over, there were many worse chokes when it seemed like the title race is done and dusted.

If you want to post a Liverpool choke at least post 1988/89.
>>67854372
>2011/12 Manchester United
They had a 10 point lead with 7 games left, choked it away, and managed to lose 6-1 to Manchester city in the process.
The chicken and beer red sox. Sad to see them hang out to dry one of the best coaches and gms of all time afterwards though. Epstein and Tito deserved better. Same goes for Cherrington

This, chelsea's record against the top 6 teams was incredible, was always going to be hard for livepoo to beat them. mourinho was selling his 'little horse' bullshit that season but the only reason they didn't win the league was because they couldn't score goals against shit teams parking the bus, they where probably the 2nd best team that season comfortably
>>67855470
That was the western conference finals. Not the NBA finals.
>>67854372
wew lad, benfica also lost the europa league final and cup final that year
I don't think it gets any worse than Manchester United in 2012. They had a 10 point lead with about a month to go and choked the title away to their rivals, who kicked their asses 6-1 in the process.

>greatest footballing year of my life
Says a lot about your shit regional club that's currently dying like it's supposed to be
>>67859888
8 point lead, and they faced City in one of their remaining games. It's a choke but it's not that big.
>AZ only needs a win against shit-tier Excelsior
>Ajax needs a 3 goal win against shit-tier Willem II
>PSV needs a blowout against Vitesse
Both AZ and Ajax throwing this away was ridiculous and the choke of the century
>>67859022
It's also worth noting that both Porto and Benfica were undefeated the whole season up until that point.
>>67859888
United choked harder in 1998 to Arsenal.
Your mom last winter sucking me dry
>>67859979
Winning the league at Benfica's stadium was also breddy cool.
Can't get cucked much harder than that.

jesus fuck, and I thought martinoli and el perro were shit, this guys take it to another level

The Palace game was the choke that ruined their season.
The Gerrard slip was more embarrassing, but they lost the title at Palace.
Leverkusen and >Schalke comes to mind
>>67861014
>still being bootyblasted about this
kek you fucking negro
>>67854558
Didnt the Ba goal put them up 2-0? As in Chelsea was already winning anyway
Still a funny moment though
>>67864516
Ba's goal was the first. Willian scored right at the end of the game to make it 2-0.

Schalke 2001 is forever gonna be the greatest choke of all time. You could see thousands of people going from immense joy to absolute devastation in a blink of an eye.
Then again, Schalke didnt even choke that badly. It was just that Bayern had an unbelievable once in a century moment that turned it all around.
This year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygAfqOjD1Lg
Had he score that Sporting would be champion.
Still hurts seeing that.
Why didn't they just run it? You've got the most explosive RB in the game, plenty of time to run it yet you throw in the red zone? WHY?
>>67864890
They choked on the 33th matchday.
Leverkusen choking it against fucking Haching was so much worse.
>>67854558
Bullshit, they beat City and had an easy run to the final but choked on Gayle dick

>>67864890
Schalke overall are the biggest chokers to ever grace any sort of sport.

Los Angeles Kings managed to reverse sweep San Jose Sharks in the first round of 2014 playoffs. Kings went to win the cup that year, making it extra special.
