This Python code simulates a fictional football (soccer) match between "Real Madrid" and "Barcelona" in the UEFA Champions League Final (UCL Final 2026). The code generates a dynamic, text-based play-by-play simulation of the match until it concludes. Here's the breakdown of what it does:
1. Setup and Initialization
-
Player Lists:
- Lists of Real Madrid and Barcelona players (
rmaplayers
andbarcaplayers
) are defined.
- Lists of Real Madrid and Barcelona players (
-
Score and Timing:
realmadrid
andbarcalona
variables store goals scored by each team, both initialized to 0.- Variables (
tiem
,tiem2
,q
) are used to simulate the match clock. The match runs beyond 90 minutes due toq
, which adds random extra minutes (1-9).
-
Misses List:
- Common phrases for missed goal attempts are stored in
misses
for generating random outputs like "saved by the keeper", "went wide", etc.
- Common phrases for missed goal attempts are stored in
2. Match Simulation
The while
loop runs the simulation in increments of one minute:
-
Updating Time and Scoreboard:
- Each simulated minute is displayed: e.g.,
"Minute 10' --- Barcelona 1 - Real Madrid 2"
. - At half-time (
minute 46
):- A break message is shown.
- An "unfortunate passing" message is printed for comic effect.
- Random players from each team are substituted.
- Each simulated minute is displayed: e.g.,
-
Random Events:
- At every minute:
-
A random number determines if a "big chance" happens (33% chance, based on
Q
random logic).- It simulates a chance for either team but doesn't necessarily result in a goal.
- Uses information like the player involved (
random.choice
) and miss descriptions from themisses
list.
-
Another random number determines if a team scores a goal:
- If
e == 5
, a player scores and is assisted by another player from the same team. - The score for the respective team is incremented and displayed (e.g.,
"Player A scored, assisted by Player B"
).
- If
-
- At every minute:
3. End of Match and Outcome
-
The simulation ends when time exceeds the randomly defined match length (
tiempo
). -
Match outcomes are decided based on the scores:
- If Real Madrid scored more, it announces:
"REAL MADRID WINS Barcelona X - Real Madrid Y"
. - If Barcelona scored more, it announces:
"BARCELONA WINS Barcelona X - Real Madrid Y"
. - If tied, it announces:
"TIE Barcelona X - Real Madrid Y"
.
- If Real Madrid scored more, it announces:
4. Extra Features
- The match implicitly includes some humor (e.g., "missed so bad he killed someone in the stands") and randomness in substitutions, misses, and scoring actions.
- The
time.sleep()
function slows down the interval between each simulated minute, making the simulation feel more realistic.
Summary
This code dynamically simulates a humorous football match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, generating random events (misses, goals, substitutions, etc.) using probabilities. It ends with a realistic scoreline and announces the winner, loser, or a draw.
