Rovers are massively underrated, being able to defend a draw for 80+ minutes against Real Madrid is impressive by itself, especially as a team from Ireland
Absolutely legendary performance. I had never heard of this and to hold out against players like that is truly unbelievable. Prime Barcelona would be happy holding that side scoreless til the 88th minute.

Clarify this, don’t underestimate the *FAI* teams. Celtic and Rangers hit up the IFL sides all the time and just pound the shit out of like Glentoran but rovers could hold their own 100%
Because Real has decades of titles and all transfers were paid from profit generated by the club. Unlike P$G and €ITY which are ran by entire countries. Qatar and the UAE are oil countries that have unlimited money. Real madrid made sensible signings. Cristiano was a steal for 90 million. P$G paid close to a quarter of a billion for Neymar. 70 million for David Luiz. City spends 100 million on substitute players. Smh. There's a huge difference.
Real Madrid without summer transfer window 2009 is still the most historically successful team of all time. City and PsG would be where without oil money?
@@amateursoundtracker8877so you’re telling me billions of dollars were generated from “history”? Do the math yourself, it didn’t add up. Had PSG won the ucl in 1995, the same season they made the semis, you wouldn’t be saying this… the only difference between PSG and other big clubs is that they won a ucl before they got an investor, otherwise clubs would end up like Hamburg, FCSC, and Red Star, where they won the ucl but became mid clubs after all the big clubs got investor money.
Ah the wonderful place called "Tallaght" mostly famous for rivers with greater radioactivity than the 4th reactor chernobyl, monge the roundabout gnome and the distinct smell of biscuits.
I was at that game, very surreal . I also live in that "small" town tallaght . Pronounced Tall-ah . Its not small in terms of towns in Ireland tho . One of the bigger ones
What’s impressive is they signed them in the same window all going to a new club, new teammates, new coaches, & new league. All while there was already one of the greatest teams in history in that league. And they didn’t need no adapting like some other players going to new teams.
I remember playing for another League of Ireland club at the time and playing a reserve game on the same ground around about the same time as this match, closest I’d ever got to meeting Ronaldo 😂😂

Rovers were a beast in that match. Part-time footballers, but when they played, there hearts were out
Ultimate team in real life
As for Ronaldo and Co, I'd say they did alright themselves 🤣
As an Irish man Iam still surprised we did that well against near prime rm
it was a great achievement but this was before prime as they just got signed and didn't build up the chem yet

"They did alright"
Perfectly summed 😅

96 points that season. 94 the next with cdr & 100 best ever la liga team the next, 85 the fourth & ucl & cdr the 5th year
They bought 793 goals in that week. Their first and second highest scorers in club history. It doesn't get much better than that in my opinion...

Tallaght is actually quite a big town in dublin 😅
Karim Benzema last minute winner - where have I heard that before 🤔

Yeah, Barca this season. Lewa, raphi, kounde, Christensen and kessie💙❤️
Shamrock is such a great club. They helped real madrid gain attention

barca signing johan cruyff in a transfer window is best.
because this signing is history,legacy,everything for barca
Best transfer history in 2008, then the rest is history
Benzema and Ronaldo and gareth bale and luka modric and Toni kroos and Casemiro were the best signing players in last 18 years club history
Greatest window ever. I also love how Barca responded by signing Zlatan 🔥🔥
Samuel etto won back to back trebles in inter
Signing 3 balon 'dor winners in 1 transfer window is WILD
I was there, great atmosphere!
That's some story 💯💯
Chelsea left the chat......they talked about transfer window
All it did for me was highlight just how good that barca side was, and how much real had to spend to even compete with them.
What’s impressive is they signed them in the same window all going to a new club, new teammates, new coaches, & new league. All while there was already one of the greatest teams in history in that league. And they didn’t need no adapting like some other players going to new teams.

I am a shamrock fan and I’m happy to hear of them because I almost never hear of Irish teams
2009 Madrid is like modern day Chelsea if they actually signed good players
Ah bless ya for the way you pronounced Tallaght 🤣🙏
And they took years to win the liga... and longer to win the ucl
In this transfer summer things are going to kind of repeat itself again as real Madrid are looking for new good galacticos.
Pat Flynn to Ronaldo : *Agua*

Ofc they signed them after they saw what prime barca is 🔥
