but first, we have to note that we have selected this list, based not just on
the results, but also on the game’s consequences.
Often, football can be very unpredictable and cruel. During
history, there have been several matches with outcomes totally unexpected.
So, what is the perfect way to celebrate the annihilation of
football in years gone by? That’s how we remind you of the most famous losses
we’ve ever seen in our wonderful game.

International Sports Stadium in Australia, the two teams faced each other on 11
April 2001. Archie Thompson of Australia scored 13 goals, breaking the record
for most goals scored in an international match by a player, and the team set a
world record for the biggest win in an international football match.
This match was one of the worst defeats in the history of
football, prompting FIFA to change the rules! It was, in truth, the biggest
loss in an international match, and it came in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers.
FIFA also implemented a preliminary round in Oceania as a
consequence of the match, qualifying to prevent such unbalanced matches in the
future.
Barcelona 5-0
Real Madrid
Right now, things are pretty grim in Spain’s second capital,
so we’d better give Barcelona fans somethito enjoy.
Remember when Barcelona was the best side in Europe and gave
a big old blow to Jose Mourinho’s ego?
In another El Clasico, where Real Madrid was defeated, the
two former rivals raced against each other.
Defeat in El Clasico is never anything to love, but Real
Madrid’s defeat in 2010 was particularly brutal. As Mourinho suffered the
heaviest loss of his career, the difference in class was exceptional.

and was intended to be a good one, but instead, it turned out to be a
catastrophe!
Arsenal was two points behind Chelsea just after 7 minutes
of the game, while the Gunners were all over the place in defense. When Kieron
Gibbs was sent off the pitch for a handball penalty, which was actually Alex
Oxlade-handball, Chamberlain’s things escalated.
Mourinho’s Chelsea side, Arsenal had one of their darkest nightmares and most
devastating losses in football history back in the 2013/14 season
Manchester United 1-6 Manchester

Trafford – United’s worst home soil loss since 1955.
competitive is the old rivalry between the two teams.
However, back in 2011, for Sir Alex Ferguson and his squad,
things went a little wrong as they suffered one of the biggest losses in
football history, losing against the People

– thanks in part to this crushing victory.

Cup and reached the semi-finals. Everyone, therefore, wanted them not only to
win the match but also the World Cup.
But what happened was totally out of mind as, with so much
difference, the team lost its match against Germany!
Things turned out to be as the fans expected at the
beginning of the match. The Brazilian team looked lost without their captain
and Silva and, as a result, Germany scored five goals in 10 minutes and then
completed the nightmare with two more goals in the second half, while Brazil
could score only once!

League quarterfinals was one of the most humiliating defeats in soccer history.
It should also be remembered that Philippe Coutinho, a barca
player who kicks the ball on loan for Bayern, was the player who scored two
goals for his team with the second one just a minute before the end of the
game.
However, that was not the end and the Bavarians scored 6
more goals in the next 83 minutes of the match, while only Luis Suarez could
score a goal for the hosts!
The Blaugranas were all expected to win the game, or finish
it as a draw at last. They not only didn’t, however, but also lost the game
with a 2-8 score!
Barcelona 6-1 Paris Saint-Germain
