Okay so now we know but falling out of love with him for that one play lol think about it ....

CR7 probably has done that to many a player ..... that's why is his the GOAT. Boy he is so cocky though pointing to himself but he produces.

What an initial save by Gigi and Baza with his arms extended like WTF just happened.

I didnt say fuck them. I said I fell out of love with Chiellini when I realized he is a bit of a choker.

Edit: their second goal. A goal conceded purely because of their fear of him.

Calling him a choker is silly and ridiculous but whatever, not really interested in polluting this thread with such talk

His last game is going to be emotional.

What are some of his most memorable games for you all? For me it’s the semi final in 2015 against Real Madrid at home. He busted his head super early in the game by a collision with (I believe) Ramos, and was fighting and trash talking with all their players for 90 minutes straight. What a legendary performance that was.

So he didn't choke in that game?

Oh he is most definitely still a choker, we just need to disregard 99% of his career.

 

[Elvin]

So he didn't choke in that game?

He did. So did Buffon in both the 2015 & 2017 finals. It's just how it is. Doesnt mean we dont love them. Doesnt make them full-time chokers tho, obviously.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Guess they're part time chokers

Wonder what kind of choker Del Piero is. Temporary? Shift choker?

Del Piero? When did he choke?

Even if he did it wouldn't matter because he did win that damn trophy, he is choker proof

I'm sure you can think of huge games where he was disappointing. But hey, the 1996 penalty shootout went the right way so that absolves him of everything.

Silly reasoning

Choking is a specific thing. Choking is when you fuck up purely because of fear/nerves.

Those 2 sitters in the 2000 EU final still haunt me to this day. Doesn’t make him a choker though, in a career you’ll have ups and downs as simple as that.

You're able to tell when it's fear/nerves or bad luck, bad tactics or simply a stronger opponent?

That goal Im talking about is pure nerves. No doubt about it.

Imagine you are Maldini - one of the goats but he lost the WC final, the Euro final and choked 0-3 lead in the UCL final once, crazy shit

Losing is not choking. Fucking up is choking.

Casemiro's goal was a choke job for sure.

Losing despite having a 3-0 lead after 45 minutes of play? That's choking.

No chance of getting to any consensus in this debate with @Elvin with those examples… quite far away from even beginning to prove any point here with those silly Maldini or Del Piero comparisons because of a few unlucky moments/games in an almost 20years spanning career..

Unless you guys find some Sergio Ramos moments when he choked and cost them(or eventually didn’t actually cost them that much because overall those numerous brainfarts were brushed away and went unnoticed because those sides were stronger and with way more individual quality than the ones Chiellini had to play with for large parts of his career) Real Madrid or Spain that is, then maybe there might actually be a chance to have him understand how out of place he is when he labels Chiellini or Buffon as chokers based on a few debatable episodes in a almost 20years long career which they spent with a club that went through hell and back up.
