FN xPts — what each moment was worth

How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist.

50' Vinícius Júnior Goal · scorer +0.5 · assist Kylian Mbappé +0.2 +0.7

Knockout ties have no league points, so moments are weighed on a win-3/draw-1 scale only.

Pre-match expectation for Benfica is an estimate: no top-five-league record, so it uses the published starting values.
