That's not a choke that's a rape

The hues never had anything to choke away

1999 and 2005 Champions League finals

1999 CL final

embarrassing, but not a choke. Brazil was BTFO from the start

>>74110305
not that

No highlights unfortunately but long story short, eternal choker Mervyn King was 9-2 up in this final (first to 11) and lost 11-10.

>>74110215
18-1 is still the biggest choke in football

>>74110267
18-1 is a bigger story but I think 28-3 is a bigger choke because it's almost impossible to lose that lead that late in a game

>>74110332
When has a team ever scored 18 goals in a football match?

>>74110215
1 strike away twice was a worse choke than the 2004 ALCS

2016 NBA Finals as already mentioned in this thread. Team with the greatest record of all time and up 3 games to 1 and loses the series. Why are we having so many historic chokes recently?

>Pats lose to a team that almost beat them a month prior

Toyota at Le Mans.

Bundesliga 2002

Leverkusen 31 matches 66 points
Dortmund 31 matches 61 points

Dortmund still won the league with very dodgy referee decisions. Look at this penulty.

I always get shouted at for pointing out that it wasn't a choke. The Pats played well and lost a close game to a very good Giants team. If they went 15-1 in the regular season and lost that game in identical fashion it would never be called a choke. Hilarious that they lost the unbeaten season they wanted so bad but they didn't lose it because they choked.

>>74110464
This. 18-1 was tragedy: an all-time great team brought down in their hour of greatest triumph by the one team capable of beating them. 28-3 is farce.

Context: Coria was odds on favourite and by far the best clay court player at the time. Gaudio was a complete nobody ranked 44th and went 5 sets in the first two rounds.

Gaudio became the first man ever to win a Grand Slam after losing the first set 6–0. He became the fifth-lowest-ranked player to win a Grand Slam, and the first man in the open era to win a Grand Slam having saved match points in the final. He never achieved anything of that level again and had some embarrassing results as a top 10 player from winning a grand slam such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sRhqJkrU9I

Coria then came up against Nadal in the next season and despite some valiant efforts like link related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkOhsBWDQHY faded into complete obscurity

Team New Zealand in the 2013 Americas Cup.

One race. Of the last 8. Just one win. From 8-1. And the other team had already had 2 points deducted.

Lost 9-8.

The Seahawks Packers NFCCG is still the largest choke in football. The Packers had a 99.9% of winning that game with 3 minutes left and their own awful mistakes are entirely why the Seahawks won that game. The Falcons had a lower chance of winning this SB (99.7) and they didn't really make any unreasonable mistakes besides the sack, the Patriots just played really well.
