FC Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain F.C. → La Remontada – This match is overwhelmingly called La Remontada in the media, sources, etc. Under WP:COMMONNAME this should be moved to that title. I think this football match is an extraordinary exception to the standard naming we usually use. Paul Vaurie (talk) 18:03, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose - no evidence that new name suggested is the common name; the name as it currently stands is clearer and therefore better for readers IMHO. GiantSnowman 15:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
• Soft oppose - those who are aware of this specific term will be quite familiar with the topic anyway and have little need to look it up. Those who are vaguely aware that 'Barcelona beat PSG 6-1' will use that sort of search term. Having said that, if it's a redirect, searching for the score would bring up the correct article pretty quickly regardless of what its title was. I suppose there's a small possibility those who hadn't heard of that term at all (it's not very widely used in English-language media AFAIK) might cause a few searchers to skip past it in doubt.

• Oppose per the same reason the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final isn't titled the "Miracle of Istanbul". —Jonny Nixon (talk) 06:58, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
• Comment: should we move this to Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain and remove the FCs? Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:32, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
• Strong oppose "Remontada" is a very generic term in Spanish to be applied for a single match. Asturkian (talk) 23:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Dispute over including unrelated matches

Crowsus is insisting on including two matches in a section called "Subsequent meetings and similar outcomes". Personally, I think that entire section is WP:UNDUE trivia, but okay, if there's a reliable source about the two teams meeting again that mentions this 2017 match, I can see sort of see it. But, the other matches that Crowsus is listing aren't related to this one at all. It's two matches in which Barcelona played someone else and lost, unlike this one, where they won. Most importantly, there are no reliable sources that link those matches with this one. The best Crowsus could find was a list of "Tottenham & Liverpool: Greatest Champions League comebacks of all time" in which 10 different matches are listed, and this 6-1 result is one of them, and is not tied to any of the others except by being present in the same article. By Crowsus' logic, we could just indiscriminately put all 10 of those matches in this section. Of course, I would not do that. Fred Zepelin (talk) 15:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

What utter garbage. Nobody said anything about all of those 10. I have included matches from the two seasons after the Remontada, in the same competition, which involved one of the two teams in question, and which also happened to involve a significant comeback in the outcome, which is the whole reason for the Remontada match being notable. I don't really see how anyone would fail to appreciate the connection with those 17/18 and 18/19 matches and need dots joined, but since you insisted, I included a source (from the BBC, not a reliable source now?) which explicity connects them all and therefore negates any suggestion of synth / OR in these obviously similar events. It isn't even the 'best I could find', it's one I obtained with no effort at all, directly linked from the match report on Liverpool v Barcelona. There will be many others, in fact here's two reports about Roma mentioning PSG as a comparison, another list, this time from UEFA, mentioning all those matches (it's from this year but is still a short list because such outcomes remain uncommon), one from BBC Spain, another Spanish one and a nice retrospective on 'the' Remontada which mentions - in passing, near the bottom, as it was here - the very same Roma, Liverpool and Man Utd matches. Nevertheless, that one source already added is sufficient for verification in my opinion and as per the guidelines of this site, you may disagree, but then we are in a conflict dispute and wider opinion should be sought, which I have suggested you do and provided a link for a suitable forum, but instead you've come here which is unlikely to get the same response level due to the traffic levels, I could be wrong. I am not here to blindly add and retain random things but instead improve the relevant, sourced content for the readers - you had an issue with what was there so I also added better sources for those matches themselves (and apologised for not spotting that someone had added a pointless box score link as a source) and reduced the phrasing. It's also strange that you seem to be fixated on removing the Barcelona matches but seem to have no problem with the mention of PSG v Man U even though it's identical circumstances, suggesting either you're not actually reading the section fully, or there's some other club-based agenda or something in keeping some bits and deleting others. So, reverted back again. Crowsus (talk) 23:33, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

"I don't really see how anyone would fail to appreciate the connection" isn't the bar we use here, it should be explicitly linked per WP:V. Both appearing in a motley list of interesting champions league matches doesn't explicity link these cases, and it does seem like undue trivia to include them.  — Amakuru (talk) 00:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Amakuru (talk). Fred Zepelin (talk) 05:06, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

How are UEFA and the BBC a motley list? Crowsus (talk) 08:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

And again, the PSG v Man U result was left in but the 2 Barcelona result were removed, where is the logic there? That needs to be explained. It is absolutely not undue weight to mention these outcomes, in passing, with sources. Crowsus (talk) 08:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

And since the bar is WP:V, it's clear I have met that with the list link. Do you want me to add all the others above? Crowsus (talk) 08:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not saying the sources are motley, I'm saying the lists are. They aren't specifically related to this game, just general lists and it's WP:SYNTH to talk as if there's some special relevance here when in reality those are just other interesting games that were listed in connection to Tottenham and Liverpool staging comebacks in the champions league. Also, why have you reverted yet again instead of continuing the discussion here? I have had to leave you a warning on your talk page, because that is not acceptable. Please self-revert and we can continue the discussion here.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Amakuru here. I'm reverting Crowsus' latest edit-warring edit because it's apparent he's not going to self-revert. Any more reverts from Crowsus before this talk page discussion is resolved will result in a report of edit warring to admins (I'll file it). He's been warned, and has repeatedly used edit summaries like "per talk" even though no one agrees with his position but himself. Fred Zepelin (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

To address the two additional sources that Crowsus added: one of them, once again, does not mention this 6-1 2017 match. The other, again, is an indiscriminate list of "Greatest Champions League comebacks". This time it's a list of 18 matches. It does seem that this has become a WP:DROPTHESTICK issue.
