The two most famous German cup shocks are Bayern in the 90s, losing to Wertheim in 1991 and Vestenbergsgreuth in 1994. Both regional teams.
First round of the German cup puts top tier sides up against “amateurs” (actually it’s just teams from outside the top 2 leagues), so it’s always fun when someone loses.
French cup is good for big giant killings too, I think of Marseille for example getting knocked out by an amateur side around 2018.

2004 for me. The best format, teams from outside the richest leagues still had a chance. Four surprise teams in the semi-final, lots of classic matches (Chelsea-Arsenal, Depor-Milan, Monaco-Madrid - plus those mad Inter-Arsenal games in the group and the game you mentioned between Monaco & Depor).
Then you have Greece winning a brilliant Euros that summer. Plus Bremen, Valencia winning league titles. What a time

The xG ‘score’ will only take into account one shot in the sequence, whichever shot has the highest xG.
