I have always thought possession in football means how long a team has the ball on their feet.
Seems like the current official possession calculation formula is not about that...
and imo another reason why i should just totally ignore current possession statistics and those
who like to give reason that my B team has x% of possession and therefore they deserved better result bullshit...

Possession means possession. As simple as that

is this some jab at RM after beating barca?

you can play possession game. However, you should mix it with knowledge on how to score with current possession.

Or else you never found the net although the ball is kept well at your feet.
