Jurgen Klopp noted that the lead of 2-0 is the most frequently overturned in football history, emphasizing the misconceptions surrounding its danger. If players believe they are halfway through, they risk losing focus and control in the game.
Despite the popular belief in the dangers of a two-goal lead, historical statistics show that 90% of teams with such leads go on to win, highlighting the myth of Csaplar’s Trap.
In the 2024-25 season, the number of teams who have surrendered a two-goal lead is at a record high of 17.5%, with teams like Everton demonstrating this trend dramatically.
The psychological aspect of being 2-0 up often leads to complacency among players, who might mistakenly think the game is won, therefore increasing the risk of conceding goals.
