ZIDANE USED TO SAY "ITS REAL MADRID AGAINST THE WORLD ". ALL FOOTBALL EXPERTS HAVE NEVER GIVEN REAL MADRID A CHANCE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE EVEN IN THE PAST.AND WHEN MADRID WINS IT,THEY SAY IT WAS LUCK,REFEREES ETC
Exactly they are jealous of Real Madrid's success
If they win this 14th.. there is no luck. And it would go down as the hardest route ever.
Hala Madrid
Exactly. When you are the best, almost everyone hates you.
The Referees aways Help RM
That Sergio Ramos 92:48 equalizer in Lisbon against Atletico UCL Final 2014 has changed Real Madrid forever
i think it's zidane's volley vs leverkussen for the win
Real have been winning even before Sergio Ramos was born! 😜
Alisson 95:13 certainly changed this Liverpool. 😉
@@paymans1153 their mentality now is better than ever. If you know football Real Madrid struggled in Europe from 2003-2010 they barely reach quarter finals and hadn’t been the favorites to win UCL. And then The latest Galatico came in which were two of them CR7 and Benzema and more Mourinho came and at that point Real Madrid build a new foundation and on their way making a Dynasty that we witnessing in Zidane Managing era
I can see why you said that.
It’s incredible that this Madrid beat all the best teams in Europe and they still say it’s not a great team…incredible
Absolutely this English pundit are joke, even dan Thomas is laughing
that's what i thought these pundits never give credit to real madrid . ESPN sucks
I Still remember when Micah Richards compared (parafraze) "great striker Benzema with like Kane". Henry face of disbelief was priceless. LMAO
Liverpool are best team in Europe.
PSG and City are perennial CL bottlers, while Chelsea have been awful since the Abramovich scandal.
Real Madrid lost at home to Sheriff for goodness sake. They have lost 4 games in the CL. If they lose the final they will officially be the worst finalist ever with 5 defeats in a campaign.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Madrid defeated Man City, Chelsea, an PSG. Their road to the final is much harder than anyone else, you are delusional if you think Madrid road was all luck, and easy.
The quality of Real Madrid is unlike anything I have ever seen. Look at the three goals against city. All three involved several players and each one of them played the ball to perfection. Every pass every cross was measured inch perfect. Their quality separates them from everyone else.
One was a header that luckily came off another header (that's fluke not class) and another was a dubious penalty.
And I dislike sportswashing, financial doping City.
@@lyndoncmp5751 dubious penalty?
Came off someone else but the way the youngster adjusted his body including his head to direct the ball was not a simple feat. That is not a coincidence! He directed the ball to where the goalkeeper couldn't get. That is not pure luck.
@@karaninamunyu6072 exactly… give the boy credit for adjusting himself on the occasion… heading is essentially instinctive and that header certainly was
@@lyndoncmp5751 hahahahaha dubious penalty??? That corner wasn’t luck. Sit down 🤡
I'm a Bayern fan, RM are in a league of their own.
Their history/ heritage ( achievements + all the names/ legends who played for them)
Their current squad names( stars+ new talents)
Thier manager ( I don't see a manager have exceeded what Carlo have achieved so far)
Their talents that will form the future squad.
The personality, even when they play bad they deliver ( call it voodoo, call it champ's charisma; call it luck , they get champions league DNA once they wear the jersey ).
I don't know how on earth they lost 4 :0 in El Clásico ! ( with all due respect to Xavi and Barca).
I believe they deserve a lot more respect! , and the commentators should stop acting surprised that Madrid made it to the final! and as if they don't deserve to reach ! Let's be fair , they have taken down 3 favourites.
Hope Bayern will have such a rich recipe one day ( always missing few final parts of the puzzle).
Even great teams sometimes have bad performances but after that loss, they righted the ship. If that one game as the reason so many "experts" didn't give them a chance, they really need to start watching more than El Clasico.
It's been a few days now of confused commentators trying to figure out how the better team won.
I am RM fan and Bayern represents same values than Real. I admire Bayern Munich. Hope you do even better in the 22/23 UCL.
Let's not get carried away. They got thrashed at home by Ajax the other year. Lost to Sheriff at home this year. Didn't win it in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Im 52. Both Liverpool and Bayern have been in more finals in my lifetime.
Liverpool have had iconic comebacks against genuine European royalty like Barcelona and AC Milan. Comebacks against PSG and City not the same.
Liverpool just had a tougher comeback away at Villarreal when 0-2 down, a team Real Madrid failed to score against this season in both games.
Bro, what will ur team do without RL9? It would be very difficult for you, if he leaves this summer.
@@lyndoncmp5751 after wining 4 cl in 5 years it was not a big break
Just remember, Jack Grealish cost more than Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo put together.
Oh, and Camavinga was just 30 million.
Florentino Pérez is a master at buying players developing a bit then re selling for double!
Real Madrid is a magnet for players because of the history aswell
What about the 90million for hazard? Hasn't done much since he came. I bet they wish they could get that 90M back.
@@Abdi-libaax hey can’t win them all.. plus he isn’t a complete loss yet. Maybe next season he contributes
@@Abdi-libaax Hazard costed actually 160M. If Madrid wins the CL, they will have to give them 30M. Those 90M are of pure contract, they don't include salary and clauses
Real Madrid are absolutely a great team. They play like a team that understand all of their strengths and weakness in great detail. They've been able to maximize their efficiency while doing as little as possible. Once they see an opening to kill you, they almost always do exactly that.
Expecting a great showdown in the final between two great teams!
R. Madrid is a very strong team when they have all their squad fit. It's when key players are missing due to injury when they are in trouble and they have to improvise like when Kroos replaced Casemiro in Manchester. It was a tactical disaster defensively, but allowed R. Madrid to play from the back and some of R. Madrid's goals came this way.
This team has been awhile since around 2015, so this team has great knowledge of the game and everyone has great teamwork with each other, they all share the heart of the 3peat team, and has done a great job instilling that mindset to the younger players, Vini, Rodrygo, Fede, and Camavinga. These players werent apart of the 3peat team, but you can tell their strength is wanting it just as bad as the people who won it before.
This is my favorite comment I’ve seen so far I totally agree
@@edd0f Tchouameni will sort that
@@pluggedbyj3744 Militao, mendy as well.. vinny, rodrygo, cama, fede, mendy, militao play in ucl as if they’ve been there b4. This is what madrid can instill in you
So I guess winning La Liga by 15pts, having the best player in the world at the moment, best gk in the world, taking down PSG, Chelsea and Man City and with 13 European Cups doesn't make you a great TEAM....
Madrid players all know that 90% of their opponents would call it a dream come true to play for Madrid. That combined with their history gives the players the confidence that they can win every game. Man U lost this aura about them, Madrid is another level.
Same Barcelona. They had that aura until they started to bottle games away from time to time.
@@1990Thunderbolt time to time? They git demolished in the last half decade in cl and humiliated even with messi in their squad
@@vaannebilim they've still won a sextuple, 2 trebles and 4 champions league titles in the last 20 years. if that isn't the aura they've had back then, then idk what is.
Enjoy those British analysts ranting about how Madrid isn't a great team. A team with the best trio midfield in the past years, one of the best striker in the world and a bunch of young talented players on the bench. Actually Madrid beat City with the kids on the pitch. Liverpool is a good team, but kind of overhyped by the British media.
Liverpool is better than City though
@Emad Afzal why did city lose on the fa cup
@Emad Afzal fa cup, major English trophy on the line and they don't take it seriously. Wow. Then nobody takes a pathetic 0 ucl club seriously.
@Emad Afzal they are drawing to wolves which they needed a red card and a pen to beat. European royalty >>> European peasants.
Does ESPN really think that the team which dominated their league and beat the 3 best teams in the world is not good enough?
There is power in a name. And that force is real madrid 🔥
Real Madrid are the kings of Europe because they know how to win Champions League because they know how to do more damage in 2min, 5min, 30min or few moments... than teams that have more possession, more chances or what ever stats modern football pundits can measure to estimate the value of a team.
In the league it's easier for teams with a system because a team with a system can replace a lower quality player vs weaker teams & still win, it makes no difference but against teams on the same level... it's all about moments & who can reach transcend to a higher level in moments, instead of playing at a high level & expect that's enough which only works against weaker teams or in the league.
Bravo! Well said!
Real Madrid are the self proclaimed "kings of Europe" because they are the original 'state funded' team, one who won a lot of their European Cups when the competition was either invitation only and when there were very few teams in the competition.
@@jaysmith2858 not an accurate argument. Even if you want to take away those trophies Madrid have won 7 since 1998. That’s as much as the team that’s won the second most. Who also won trophies when it was invitation only. They’re the kings of Europe wether you like it or not.
@@carlosandresgarcia10 It's my opinion. If Real Madrid and their fans want to call themselves "the kings of Europe" they are entitled to do so, however I don't have to agree that they deserve that title.
Along with the reasons I stated in my original post, I could also have mentioned the facts that they have spent ludicrous amounts of the money provided by state funding/assistance from Spanish banks on mega expensive signings and astronomical wages, as I could have also mentioned the fact that unlike other teams, not only do they play in an easier, less physically demanding league/country where they play less games, but they are also helped out by their FA when it comes to their European fixtures.
@@jaysmith2858 your opinion is invalid
It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. The greatest in all arenas understand that.
rocky
Without any disrespect to Man City or Liverpool, by what metric have these pundits decided that they are the best teams in the world. They are obviously the best in England but you can't compare it to RM, PSG or Munich who play in different league. The people are clearly biased against any team who play against CITY or LFC.
We all know it’s solely based on the premier league performances. But people don’t realize that there’s a difference between constantly playing against good teams and constantly playing against world class teams. Aside from Liverpool City and Chelsea all the other teams in that league are bang average at best. There’s a reason why teams like Madrid, Bayern and PSG comfortably win their leagues. It’s because they’re world class teams and then there’s a bigger gap in between them and the other teams in their respective leagues. But City Liverpool and Chelsea aren’t constantly playing against World class teams either.
🤣🤣🤣 PSG? World class? Munich? You're having a laugh. Rangers put the second and third Bundesliga teams out and you think the Bundesliga is strong? La Liga is so good that Barcalona can finish second with worst side they've had in 30 years. The French league proves every season how weak it is. This is the fourth season in five that an English team made the final, and two of those finals were ALL English.
This is exactly what I was thinking. They decided city and Liverpool were the best teams in the world last summer without them kicking a ball. Madrid are the champions of Spain and they just beat city so why are they not at least top 2 teams in the world? It doesn’t make sense at all.
@@somebodyelseuk the semifinals of the CL was between 1 in prem vs 1 in La liga and 2 in prem Vs 7th in la liga. The 7th best team in Spain is fighting for the CL. What does that say about the league? It shows you the competition in Spainsh football but you won’t see it.
@@MohamedMohamed-sb6ly the second placed club in Spain didn't even get as far as the knockouts.
Real Madrid has quality. Especially with the Modric, Camavinga , Carvajal, Casemiro, Benzema Vinicious and Rodrygo. These are players capable of highest level of efficient possible in football. If they need three goals in 6 minutes they give you three goals in 6 minutes. The difference between them and their opponents is simply quality
You forgot Courtois, the best GK in the world
@@sm7289 true and Courtois
@Los Blancos not far from the best bro
If he's not the best, he is only a hair's length off
@Los Blancos tell me who is better
@Los Blancos who is better?
One word to describe real madrid comebacks.. "Juanito" real madrid legend.. You will understand why he said "90 mins at the bernabeu is long"
Is like A Day And Half
Es una eternidad
What word describes how Real Madrid were able to play all three knockout games with the second legs all at home?
@@lyndoncmp5751 probably the same word that would define Liverpool getting such minor teams as its route to the final? Hater, I see you everywhere in the comment section. Real Madrid has flogged Liverpool the last 5 times we met. Real Madrid has crushed tougher opponents than you played. Real Madrid has fought hard and merits its seat at the finals. Liverpool is merely lucky to be at the final.
What are you talking about... it's having the best goalkeeper, 2 of the best CB, an excellent LB, Casemiro is still an amazing CDM, Modric is still amazing, Kroos doesn't loose a ball still so for the time he gets he doesn't make too many mistakes, is having a guy with amazing talent an 4 lungs like Valverde who helps a good RB and the midfield and the attack, it's having a top 10 player in the moment like Vini and the Best player in Benzema. Not to mention that Rodrygo and Camavinga have the legs and ability or talent to change big games. Not to mention Ancelotti who knows what he has so stays low and doesn't do anything crazy that will surely give space to others.
Topple that with the history and the confidence that a goal at your stadium gives you and the low mental fortitude of the others and you get this.
Not to mention: Psg has 3 players who do not defend, you have a great lead in the first leg against chelsea so it wasn't a comeback as it was the stopping of a comeback, and you have Pep and his inability to know how to defend
Bruh carvajal is no longer elite, Kroos can't play against high pressure, Alaba did not play, Mendy is far from an elite LB...
@@jestenbuckley476 bruh are you blind? I literally only mention carvajal as a good one because of the presence of fede that hepls him.
Alaba will play the final and has played the mayority of the ucl
And mendy is amazing defensively. In the attack he is not that amazing but I'm pretty sure that Arnold will have more problems with Vini than him with Salah and because this is obvious Klopp will do the same as Pep and ask like 3 players to help him with Vini and even discourage him to not go in the attack (because, how many times was Walker even near to the box?)
Also a Madrid fan, kinda off topic,
but Mendy got to be the worst player in starting XI
I will give him credit for the clearance in the 2nd leg, but otherwise he is very poor offensively and recently, below average in defense.
Just watch when Marcelo starts, you ses sparks on the left side with Vini
But Marcelo is beyond his prime, and his defense is a mess.
With all due respect to Carlo, but I think Carvajal Nacho Millitao Alaba
Is a way BETTER strating line up
@@jestenbuckley476 what was his passing accuracy in the last champions league tie, you’re clueless pal
@@pando6491 Mendy after the injury is struggling but if Mendy is out we will lose, you also forgot he gave that ball to vini goal in the first leg.
I know from the outside it seems like we haven’t dominated our games but can you say this is a bad team?
Courtois
Carvajal Militao Alaba Mendy
Kroos Casemiro Modric
Rodrygo/Valverde Benzema Vini Jr
Maybe we could use a more offensive left back but I still think the team is a good one. Add to that some depth in the squad and we have decent players:
Nacho (always there to help)
Lucas Vazquez (Swiss army knife sub)
Asensio
Rodrygo (super sub)
Camavinga (growing every day)
If we add to that a better performing:
Hazard
Bale
How can we say it’s a bad team? Somebody tell me who is actually bad in this squad?
No you aren’t bad…..this pannel is filled with clowns
The right side is dead until Rodrygo came on. It felt like it was Vini and benzema Vs City upfront. So they only have each other to pass to which was obvious. So they had to take shots.
None of the players you listed are playing in the EPL right now, so how can they be good? Only EPL has great players.
They're all clowns, it's fine, they can say Liverpool will win for sure as well and Real isn't a top 2 team so they have no shot.
I think fullbacks should be defensive first. Look at Trent, what happened? His defensive inability is the reason Liverpool lost.
That baldy is a disgrace.
He once said Zidane would be sacked within 6 months.
Zidane went on winning la liga that year.
Here's the thing folks, for all that Liverpool has done this season, their tie versus Villareal (the 7th place team in La Liga) was all tied up with well over an hour gone last Tuesday. It literally took Villareal's Argentine goalie, Rulli, to self-destruct for them to get over the hump. It won't be as easy against a much more talented, well-rested, healthy Real Madrid squad. Lastly, keep in mind that Real Madrid has already won La Liga and can use the next three weeks to prepare for Liverpool without any single distraction. On the other hand, Liverpool still has to worry about the FA Cup final and will be fighting Man City for the Premier League title until the last day of the season. My money is on Real Madrid to win in Paris on 28 May.
Well said, plus Camavinga and Mendy will play the hardest in their home town.
Gonna be a great game.
@@kamaaladiin that’s right. They will represent.
And Madrid scored how many goals against Villarreal this season?
Madrid lost at home to Sheriff for goodness sake.
If Madrid lose the final they will officially be the worst finalist ever with 5 defeats in a campaign.
Madrid's unmatched history is paramount.
Real Madrid will win the UCL
When you walk into the bernabeu as player. And you see what Zidane done,what distefano done,Ronaldo,CR7,you’re trying to be like them
You mentioned Ronaldo without Puskas? Lol
@@claudemakelele2856 Ronaldo is the Goat.
Zidane and Ronaldo never did what de Stephano, Puskas, Cristiano and Ramos with others did as a player. Stephano I think the greatest RM player ever, scored in every final and had that influence in 5 European victories
@@Abdi-libaax which Ronaldo
Well those who saw what Di Sefano and Puskas did couldnt manage to do it for 32 years between 1966 and 1998.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, Bayern, Ajax and AC Milan were the Kings.
Madrid has to be the greatest Team in Team sports
Why are people keep saying this real Madrid is not a great team? Same midfield as before, same striker as before, wingers with skills and pace, great goalie and defenders, what more do you need?
Liverpool are also a great team with unbelievable energy in the pressing game. The front 3 of Diaz mane and salah would scare the living daylight out of any teams in the world.
What a match this going to be.
Real Madrid isn't really strong. They have no RW they have the young Brazilian but he's on the bench. Kroos is slowing down and the defenders are suspect. Mane/Diaz will eat them up. Thiago Vs Modric for control of the midfield.
Benzema and Vini only have each other to pass to because Real Madrid players are worried about pushing forward. The goals came after Real Madrid went for it.
@@Abdi-libaax you got to be a special team to beat psg, chelsea and city, luck is not everything but without luck, nothing will succeed.
So Madrid wins their domestic league and are in the final of the Champions League but yall saying they are not a great team? Only Espn can say such rubbish
needs penalties to win.
Many great players plays for and goes but Real Madrid stays the top and in contention forever. The Club is Legendary in itself.
Club DNA is a real thing, if Milan push this through Daniel will become the 3rd generation of Maldini to have won Serie A with Milan, Cesare won the Champions League, Paolo did the same 5 times, and now Daniel will be trying to compete for his own legacy so yes Club and Football DNA is very much a real thing.
That will be amazing
Wait I thought maldini son players for Roma? Who is the other kid?
@@Abdi-libaax Daniel Maldini is at Milan, no Maldini has ever played for Roma
Lmao it’s really a family business. 3rd generation is crazy
@@Abdi-libaax no way a Maldini will play for Roma.
If Barcelona had done what Madrid have done this season, ESPN would have lost their mind
It's amazing what Real Madrid have done.
I've seen a lot of fantastic comebacks, but to do it *3 times* in a row against top teams who didn't exactly play bad against them.
It's unlike anything I've seen before
it's roots comes from origin in 80th the history of players (camatue carlos santillana, guanito and others) it's called (guanito's spirit) proud that I'm the fan of this team
All of these people from ESPN predicted that City will crash Real Madrid none gave us a Chance. Look at them now, they can’t even explain how City lost.
It does help when UEFA allows you to play all three knockout games with the second legs all at home.
@@lyndoncmp5751 When Chelsea won last year,Real Madrid played all their second games away, so i'm not sure what UEFA has to do with anything.Conspiracy theories are for losers.
“ it’s very rare for the favorite to win it” in you case guys you pick the wrong teams as favorites most of the times. Last 5/6 years you are constantly saying that man city would win the ucl.
The Premier League was won in January as well.
Don't mind them
They're the football royalty. Best club in the world . Madrid natives must be so proud of this institute that represents them. Football Heritage

This year it's over for madrid
I hope to see a final between MADRID & AC MILAN
OR A CLASSICO IN THE FINAL

Best players, best attitude and the best football club background. The organization works very well, it is like a family but big and organized and the environment is perfect, everybody knows what it means working for RM.
Wow the disrespect towards Reql Madrid is so real here. I guess when you are a 13x ucl champion, people start hating everything about you no matter what. 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Yo y'all need to put respect on RM this is absurd. Ever thought that maybe on the ball there just as good of not better than these teams. The way RM defended at times were on point. Yes they were wide open at times but as a team they understand the game the movement when to press at team and how to hold it. These other teams don't do that. And defensively there break... 30 seconds into 2nd half vini missed a sitter. Where was man city??? Vini had a horrible game and Karim and we still b city so foh and put respect on RM they were the better team
These so call pundits must be exhausted from writing off Real Madrid every single time…taking down the Petrodollar Clubs is one of the best things that has happened to football in recent years. Finally facing a club with history like Liverpool
It is soo funny how they’re saying Madrid who has to prove themselves against the best teams in the world are not a great team but Liverpool who has not been tested all year in CL are great side. Just unbelievable. But what do you expect from a Panel full of British men.
Liverpool won AWAY at Atletico, San Siro twice, at Porto, at Benfica and at Villarreal. Villarreal.... who Madrid failed to even score against in both La Liga games this season.
Real Madrid lost at home to Sheriff. If Madrid lose the final they will officially be the worst finalist ever with 5 defeats in a campaign.
They played Sheriff, Shakhtar, a washed up PSG, a Chelsea team out of form and thrashed even by Brentford 4-1 at home and perennial CL bottlers Man City. City usually get kicked out by the likes of Lyon and Spurs and literally everyone else has comebacks against PSG, including a mediocre Man Utd side.
Stop acting as if Real Madrid have knocked out European royalty. They have played a Chelsea in crisis and European flops and failures.
@@lyndoncmp5751 when the season started Madrid was disorganized. No one knew who would even start. They lost a lot of players. They played Sheriff and lost. But since then perfect record in the group and an amazing knock out campaign. it’s so funny how you bring up the groupstage like it matters. Anytime any team tried to go toe toe with Liverpool in the CL the ref gave them a red. You talk about Atelti, they played 90 minutes out of 180 with 10 men. How is that even a competition?
Liverpool in the knockout played inter (without Barella) and still inter out played Liverpool at times, specially at home. when inter scored in the 2nd leg and had a chance to fight to go through, guess what happened. Red card.
Played the 3rd best team in Portugal.
Played Villarreal (7th best in La liga) without their best player in the first leg and then without their 2nd best player in the second leg.
Madrid played the Champions of France, the European Champions, and the English Champions. How do you even try to compare the two teams?? This route to the final is the hardest in the history of the CL. Maybe that’s why Madrid have 4 Ls.
Atletico and Inter, particularly Atletico, are dirty cheating teams. That's why they got reds. Fully deserved. If you don't cheat you won get a red card.
I like how you try to dismiss the merit of Liverpool winning in ALL of those difficult stadiums. If its no big deal to win in the CL at Atletico, Inter, Porto, Benfica and Villarreal then why doesnt everyone do it?
How many goals did Real score against Villarreal this season? Do tell me. Did they beat them home and away? Did they even score against them?
Madrid had an amazing knockout stage? What, by losing half the games and somehow getting to play all the second legs at home? How on earth is that allowed to happen? All three second legs at home, dubious penalties etc? Hmmmmm.
@@lyndoncmp5751 “stop acting as if RM have knocked out European Royalty”. Hahaha. They don’t have to knockout a european royalty because they are the European Royalty. They are the Kings of Europe remember?
Henry,
Are they? Liverpool have been Champions of Europe more recently than Real Madrid.
Again, how on earth were Real Madrid allowed to play all three knockout games with the second legs all at home? You didn't comment about the massive advantage they had there.
Its not only Real Madrid who are European Royalty. So are Liverpool, Bayern, AC Milan, Barcelona, and a bit Lower down Inter, Man Utd, Juventus, Chelsea now.
But PSG and City? Nah.
they keep limiting real madrid to just a team with "great belief", real madrid is a great team with real quality, you can have all the belief in the world but if you dont have the skill and quality then you wont be able to execute a winning result. All these other so called best teams in the world like Man City, Chelsea, and Liverpool are just judged by how well they play in their league. I think maybe this is why Perez wants to start the super league so that all the best teams from all the leagues can face each other and then we can really see who the best of the best is.
Football Heritage
3 goals scored against psg, 5 against chelsea and 6 against Man City. It’s not about luck or belief. Madrid are a great team!
All I'm gonna say to PSG and City, you can't buy a UCL
They've both been a single 1-0 defeat away from it. The truth is they will probably get one eventually and it will be bought just like the majority of clubs. Let's not sit and pretend like Madrid aren't one of the highest spending clubs of all time.
@@Mezzala9 The difference between Madrid and those teams is the history Bro
@@danielukpe4851 Don't see why it's relevant personally
@@Mezzala9 because Madrid and other historical clubs buy players from their revenue which they generate from their following and other means

Honestly.. why are you guys still inviting Robo… like why💀 terrible take after terrible take. How can you say a team is not a great side while they are in the UCL final after having one of the craziest run in UCL history. He needs to have a reality check or hes just a big Madrid hater.
All of these guys sometimes have terrible takes. They continue to count out Real Madrid and are left angry and upset when Madrid beats their predictions. Everyday for the last 2 weeks I’ve heard these guys say how bad Real Madrid is lol joke
The guy legit has the worst football takes in existence, and they still pay him to utter nonsense.
Unbelievable.
4:50 "And you as well I SUPOSE" nobody noticed that dig😂. You've outdone yourself Dan. Nobody is on your level anymore😂
Real does not need to play good football for 90 minutes to win a match.. Thats what makes them a great and exceptional team. They need only few minutes to demolish a great team. They stay in matches just drifting. When they are led the killer instinct coupled with believe and talent set in. They have a fine mixture of old experienced talent plus young ambitious talent plus one of the greatest coaches to ever grace the game. A winning culture is an amazing weapon particularly when it is well handed down from generation to generation. That perfect transition of the mentality of a winning culture from one generation to another is reals Madrid's ultimate weapon
Although I'm happy for Madrid it was shocking to see that those Man city players were not well equipped with dealing the pressure and it is just unthinkable to see that their mental strength were so flimsy that the moment they conceded the first goal they fell apart. I'm rooting for Madrid to win!!
To be fair, Pep took some of the players who might be better equipped to handle that pressure off the pitch in the 70+ minutes.
Man city let the foot of the gas peddle in first game they got too cocky.
They’re used to dominating other teams with possessions. When reeal madrid press high in the final minutes in the cl semifinal they froze
Real Madrid is an old school team. We don’t play to perform art we play to win by any means necessary. Our squad is filled with the most seasoned of vets and some fresh hungry young blood who want to add their names to the list of legends at the club. You can’t just say it’s all luck and belief, the spine of this team have been together since donkeys, they won countless things together and although their legs may not run as fast as they once did, their minds do. In an instant this team can break the strongest of defences and flip the tide.
Indeed they always looked dead and buried but when they attacked with numbers they inevitably scored. As if they knew they could score at anytime. Liverpool are a great team no doubt but how much more better are they than Real Madrid? It's not like the difference is heaven and Earth and the same is true for the teams that lost to Madrid.
Difference is LFC have firepower pace & energy which will be the key against Madrid. City played cautious at Madrid & payed the price
@@HafizShivji786 You make a good point though I'll have to see how Madrid will cope with that particularly if he will play that older midfield. This is a game that can disappear very quickly for these teams.
@@diroysama8558 absolutely for LFC in order to win they have to play with a pace & energy or else Madrid are very very comfortable when they control the pace that's Where their midfield & attackers hurt you.
Just remember as much as Real never give up and have heart too, Liverpool are only here because our amazing goalie scored with the very last touch ❤🔥
Why do I get the disturbing feeling that UEFA does not want the African players (Mane or Salah) to win the Ballon D'or so they'll let RMA win the CL
Not amongst one of the best two sides? Lmao Robbo tell me you didn’t just say that. Real Madrid is in the final and they’re not amongst the best 2?! After knocking out one of the supposed strongest 2?! Lmaooooo. My friends, Real Madrid is taking it home. All the negativity is bound to produce a certain number 14.
I've been a real Madrid van since 06' and this is one of the most insane matches I seen in my life.
It's a royal club. It's by far the most high status club in the world.
ESPN fc cast script “ Real Madrid won because every other team
They faced was bad , not because madrid was the better side “
Also Liverpool who faced the mid table of every tournament to get to final is definitely the best.
Liverpool is definitely the greater club with the greatest history of 30yrs trophyless run.
Man I love Del Piero one of my all time faves, I really fascinated by his take on stuff.
I fell in love with Real Madrid 2015/16-2017/18
It's almost like a standard because of the fact that other players in that club have made it to the top plenty of times it almost gives the players a belief that they need to at least perform to the best of their abilities and +10
They scored 6 GOALS in 2 matches at England with both legs I dont think it was only LUCK and CROWED. They created chances when opposition were relaxed and they didnt asked them to be relaxed, they have gone with this strategy. Athletico also tried this but didnt help them coz they were not good enough to score.
Stevie is so honest and believable as a former player, is great to have him in the show
I remember watching Stevie win it with Liverpool.
He manned up an took the first penalty against Roma in Roma's own stadium in the 1984 European Cup Final.
He fecking missed of course. But he was there.
these commentators are super bias. they keep saying the fans the stadium. the players still have to play and they are good. Any given weekend anyone can get beat. stop hating on Real Madrid.
Why are we having this conversation?
Let me give you reality check, none of Chelsea, City, and Liverpool players will say no to a move to Madrid.
I will go another mile and say, most pf them dream to play for Madrid.
Get it??
PSG: 3-2, Chelsea: 5-4, City: 6-5. Are we seeing a 7-6 final against Liverpool? May be in penalty.
Let's see. Liverpool does have an European pedigree...and under Klopp it has the mentality too. Looking forward to a great and exciting final.
And Liverpool do comebacks against genuine European royalty like Barcelona and AC Milan.
Real Madrid doing it against PSG and City is not at that level.
8-7
Stevie always inserts Liverpool. Everywhere. There's a difference between this effect at Real Madrid and Liverpool
ask barca dortmund and AC about that
It's the spirit of Juanito
In a positive way. Gives them belief and responsibility to continue that trend
Dan is back ❤️
I wonder why British media always try to undermine real madrid
Envy my brother despite they laying claim 2 be where d game started they don't have the club of 20 century named by FIFA just ignore them.
Espn is American media actually
what stewart Robson just said about Madrid !!! it seems people are still very much negatively occupied by logic and greatness and stuffs. What Real has done is supernatural and isn't that different than to the mundane that we see everyday in the leagues.
Dan the man!!! Gr8 squad today! Sans alé lol
Alex Del Piero what a legend !!!!
To answer the shows question, yes, of course. Always. If you even take Liverpools 2005 cup run. The crowd, the media bringing up the past and the players awareness of their clubs pedigree must have given them as a sense of pride and destiny. The atmosphere for the semi final 2nd leg at Anfield was electric. Their first semi final at Anfield for 21 years at that point.
You could see Nacho telling the others "hasta el final" after Mahrez goal. "Until the end", no one gave up.
Welcome back dan
Lets just chill and enjoy the game! Good luck to both the teams!
This is one of my favorite real Madrid roster last few years think about that we won 3 ucl in a row and this team just different
Football is not just about Guardiola’s control and possession. There is a reason why Netherlands are failures at International level and Italy have 4 WCs. You play to win not to keep possession.
Dan is back!
Real Madrid is the greatest club of all time and the legacy of this Club which motivates its players
Jose was right. Football Heritage. Liverpool have it too. Gerrard, Alisson, Origi 😄
It’s always Real Madrid against the world ..We will come back to this after the final ..HALA MADRID🤍
Dan Thomas the old real Madrid TV 📺 commentator loves it so much
They just have many talented players.
Thats it.
Don't overthink
In between these champions league comebacks there was also sevilla win where they were 2:0 down in the first half. RM is unbelievable magical club.. unique in the world.
Well RM have one of the best squads in the world. The squad depth is waayyy underrated. Imagine you can call valverde ceballos isco asensio camavinga hazard etc as substitutes.
Dan’s back, about time 😂
Yes, glad he is back. I believe his mother passed.
It's the art of coach not only history of Real Madrid !
The stadium took the air out of man city. The stadium is very intimidating!
Is Aguero's last minute winner not part of City's history? Or is city's history so insignificant we have forgotten already...
Insignificant, sorry
not ucl mate
It doesn’t matter if you cannot win the game. Liverpool might have most of the ball positions and shots on goal but doesn’t matter if they can’t win the game. And Real Madrid knows exactly how to win. They know their weaknesses and their strengths.
They watched the movie "goal 2:Living the Dream"
Never say die attitude and never give up because you are playing for Real Madrid and you must not lose. Thats the weight of that white jersey. No matter if you are 34 year old veteran or a 21 year old new signing. It comes to you when you understand the club history, achievements and expectations. Tell me one team who still try to score goals after 89’ being two goals down. Other teams would have mentally collapsed and given up. Look at City players. City had 15 MINUTES to equalize in extra time and how did City players respond?
Madrid Changed when they signed the biggest influencer Cr7 the goat!!
Mourinho changed the club. Stopped Barca with prime Messi and Xavi in 2010 and changed RM which was average in 2010 to one of best teams within an year. 2012 they won la liga.
Real Madrid not a great team?
Best striker in the world: Benzema
Best midfielder in the world: Modric
Best goalkeeper in the world: Courtois
They may not produce the most beautiful football for 90 mins, but you cannot deny this team is one of the best!
Can anyone recommend another channel?
Carvajal performance matters a lot he didn’t play well in the first leg and leaked a lot of goals from his side, 2nd leg he was awesome City struggled to score.
