Real Madrid and Barcelona just battled it out in what is probably the premier footballing draw in league football. Madrid came out on top, but the result signified much more than a score line.
Today, we talk about what it all means.

You forget a couple of things. Trust me, im not being defensive coz we have been pretty shite in the past few games (after the bloody international breaks, that always has negative effects for Barça).
But our main issues...
1. Injuries. Our best defender Araujo didn't play because of an injury he picked up in, yup you guessed it...the international break few weeks ago. His presence on the pitch is genuinely our best defense. If he was fit, Pique and Eric Garcia wouldn't have played. And those 2 sucks. While I'm at it, Sergi Roberto as well. Another player who needs to be booted off. If Hector Bellerin was fit, i don't think Roberto would play.
2. Busquets. This mofo has been an absolute liability for our defense for the past 5 years. Kroos ran past him, not Mbappe or Haaland or prime Messi... Toni Kroos.
3. Xavi's selection. This one is the most depressing thing. I don't know why Ansu, Balde, De Jong, Kessie dont make the starting 11.
Conclusion: we are crap. And idk what or who or when we will stop being crap.
Visca Barça....
Very good points. These definitely should have been mentioned.
I have been reading that de Jong is mentally not really a 100% at Barca anymore after all the troubles with them wanting to sell him for money, wanting to sue him, and so on.

@@FootballIconic and Xavi's tactics
Our? Damn a pro baller commenting here. That's pretty cool
didn’t he score in el classico the day before he won the Ballon D’or? damn that must be an amazing feeling, dude is high on life
My last song is fire fr
@@ktbecstasy stop it 🤫
@@ktbecstasy Its shit
just scored today too, what a week
Modric what a young talent
This cracked me up😂 anyways he is prolific as usual.
As a madrid fan,feeling happy abt my club situation for now.praying tht this continues for long time
why hasnt perez let him go? he let casillas , ronaldo and ramos go.
@@avarma6313 its hard to replace modric, plus the guy is 37 and still can put a game that can put 99% of midfielders to shame. Its still better to have him than not
Finally, a well-deserved winner! Benzema really showed that he stepped up once Ronaldo left, especially when his career is marred by controversies.
What you mean by finally?
@@sehapoul7097 some people are still salty over last year's Ballon winner.
@@M.Sajid98 Not last year. 2020. Messi deserved the 2021 win. Despite coming short in the UCL, his stats for his final season in La Liga were amazing.
@@Linkonpark100 mate I totally agree. We all can see what barca has become with Mess's departure. But who would explain this to these internet trolls.
@@Linkonpark100 messi didnt even deserve most the bdors he got
The drake curse is probably the 2nd greatest curse in sports after the benfica curse
Chelsea Striker Curse and Yay Toure Man City Curses are up there
@@lma-gj7um for context after Benfica won their 2nd European cup their manager went and asked for pay rise from the board which they denied he then said not in 100 years will Benfica win another European trophy since then Benfica have been to i think 8 European finals and lost every single one
@@nooftaheri3502 man city has been i only one final and in that chelsea outplayed them with the stick to ball technique so its still not a curse
Peps African UCL curse has to be up there
@@ChrisMDi It's a literal curs bro
That picture if Rodrygo at 3:49 got me dying 😂😂😂
Fede can play damn near every position on the pitch at a high level. I don't think there's any other player in the world as effectively versatile
Another ignorant Madrid fanboy comment do you even watch football or just Madrid matches? I swear y'all think everyone on that team world class legends who are the best in the world

Benzema is the most one sided vote for years apparently…it makes sense really, considering Messi and Ronaldo used to split the voters!
I got good songs too
As people said "Fede Valverde is the 3rd attacker, the 4th midfielder, and the 5th defender"
Very few things are as reliable as the Drake curse
the laporta lever had me on the floor😂😂😂😂😂😂
I too thought Lewa doesn't show up in big games but then he scored 2 against Inter with all his might and I'd rather write that off. He hasn't been getting enough service lately.
It was a festival, so it was nice to be able to watch it.
Thank you for the video.
I love this video. “And of course, modric a really promising young talent” *pans to modric skilling pedri*
loving this style of video! would love to see a vid on modric
Thanks for updating me. Didn’t watch any of the soccer, lately
Great video, as always
Love the Vid man keep up the great work!! Love the commentary
I'm watching From TEMA Ghana.🇬🇭
Best sports CZcams Channel of all time .
I always love your joke man, hitting at unexpected timing that can warrant at least a chuckle out of viewers. Keep it up, love to see it!
Great video my dude 🙌
Great content, keep going 👏
Great video and also a great CZcamsr! 💪
Man makes the absolute best videos
love this channel
That lever gag cracked me up🤣🤣
That Rodrygo pic😂
ain't no way drake coming back to spain after this dawg 😭💀💀
I remember watching quite a few football CZcamsrs during the champions league draw, making predictions that Barça would go through to the knockouts. I knew immediately that they wouldn't. I don't hate Barça. I just knew with all the complications they've had as of late, it's too soon for them.
My God, it's the sound of another lever. 😂😂😂
I honestly forgot all about Hazard
For real, and I was really surprised he had even played a min in el classico
The falloff was insane
Don't worry, Ancelotti forgot too lol
The alliteration in the title a 10/10 😂
Can you make a video about who’s the most underrated player in history
Good video, but to do Barca justice you have to mention that Barca have had Araujo, Christiensen, and Kounde out injured, so we were relying on Pique and Garcia, our #5 and #3 choice defenders, and many of the goals we’ve conceded have been blatant individual errors from them. Especially Pique’s inexcusable error vs. Inter
hes just a hater
Madrid have cortouis and masked rudiger out. It's not like you guys mention a fluke win last season with modric as cf 2 midfielder and 4 attacker experiment. You guys take it for granted. Even celebrate it like y'all won a thropy.
@@mHANIF-xl3rx did I mention that game? I’m talking about this season, not last one. And yes, Real had injuries too, but again, I’m talking about Barcelona and their recent form, not Real. Courtios being injured has no bearing on Barcelona’s form
Eden Hazard to make a shock move to Arsenal in January and help guide them to securing the league title. you saw it here first
It’s 3 months later… this did not age well. That being said, super entertaining, thank you for the video!
Great video to look back on 😂😂 forca barca 👊
That Barcelona X Sheffield Wednesday shirt looks great.
Where is it being sold?
Valverde is a top player no question about it. He has scored in some key moments when the game is pretty closed.
Hey man you need to do a video on Valverde....
the problem is in defense is the main problem , I love serge busquets but if he sit this season out like how Marcelo did at real last season it'd be good , I mean tbf the guy won every trophy by 24 he was completing side quests since.
Players who lead rebellions against coaches normally see a dip in their career, it happened to hazard and then Pogba. These players show moments of brilliance and then people start comparing them with with Messi and Ronaldo but they don't have the consistency say they get pushed out quickly for the next new kid in the block
Like how you said "Royal Madrid" 😂
That Lever 😅😅😅
Tbf real and inter are two teams that sit back and defend and then counter attack
that gods plan joke left me fascinating wheezing
Love your content, but just a friendly FYI…when you say Barca vs Real the ‘vs’ is “versus” and not “verse.” I don’t mean to be pedantic, but more and more people seem to be using that word incorrectly when comparing two separate things. It’s starting to grate on me especially when it’s someone who I hold in high regard such as yourself who is clearly very intelligent, creative & well read. It’s like listening to an early 60s Miles Davis recording of ‘So What’ and out of the blue someone scratches the record during the Coltrane solo if that makes sense. Lol
For anyone who cares to know:
Versus means to compare two or more things as in Barca vs Real while verse means to speak in or compose also it is a writing arranged in metrical rhythm such as grouped lyrics in music or poems.
I see what you did with the video title 🙂
After nearly a decade of high performance and success, it is borderline out of this world seeing Barcelona in this state, Messi got everyone used to look this team as the winners all the time, with him gone and the club is dismay due all the shady things that happened with the administration, it is sad to see such a prestigious club struggling to barely pass the group stage of the UCL.
Sadness? Its delightful watching the collapse or an arrogant and poorly run club.
theyve been poor for a few seasons, where have you been?
@@jakebolger6248 Still bigger than your club
@@jakebolger6248 what club do you support Jake?
Please make a vid on Valverde
As a Chelsea fan, seeing Barcelona in the mud is such a beautiful thing
Smd
were both going down :_)
Lol you ain't winning anything either you clown 😂
Lol Chelsea won't even be top 4 have some shame oily chelshiy
Still crying because y'all cheated us and still lost ?
I think Barca is gonna be a long-term project with Xavi like Arteta at Arsenal - however, the moves Barca made this summer point to a quick fix back to the top rather than a long-term project. So to me it does not seem like they went in the right direction this summer and maybe have dug themselves just a new grave.
At this point in time Arteta is miles ahead of Xavi in terms of managerial and tactical acumen, also he plies his trade in Premier league - the most competitive in Europe whereas Xavi despite getting all the toys he wanted is unable to even escape group stages of Champions League and is losing a two team league to a Madrid which isn't exactly at its peak. Xavi is on his way to become an overhyped dud the way things are going.
@@naazahs9045 You just countered your own argument. Arteta is miles ahead because he had years to grow at Arsenal with many failures until now. Xavi is only at the beginning of his journey. My point was that the shopping tour Barca had in the summer transfer window does not fit with the long-term plan with Xavi.
Xavi will not have the time. This "long-term project" is a sham. A trophyless season after this shopping spree and he will be sent packing.
Maybe he'll come back after some years like Ancelotti came back to Madrid and he'll have a good run but right now Xavi might be on thinner ice than they are letting you know.
@@kvineet631 Which would be dumb of course, it's an almost entirely new team and it takes time. In addition, even if they drop out of the CL they still have three competitions to get titles and it's not like the season is over after trailing Real by a few points so early on, everything is still possible (except the CL of course). I also don't know who Barca would get as a replacement for Xavi.
@@MrReese Of course. Staying competitive in the league will get him the season at least. But he himself is saying that if the trophies don't come, someone else will be coming in.
The thing is you don't buy players like Lewandowski for some long term project down the line, you buy them for instant effect. Not having that will have consequences.
Let's see how it pans out. The world cup is another huge international break incoming.
"Barca's team is stacked" Well maybe on paper but the reality is that they lost their 3 most important defenders in Araujo, Kounde, Garcia for their most important run of the season. Kounde just got back against madrid but the damage was already done by pique and Garcia. Not trying to make excuses for the poor form, just putting things into context. In the end I think Barca, fans, players and everyone at the club got a little too carried away by the mercato and thought it was gonna be easy from there, but no, Barca's rebuild will take longer because no matter who they buy, Barcelona wont be back to the top until they get rid of Busquet, Pique, Alba, roberto and bring back the winning mentality. Xavi still has a lot to improve as a coach and youngsters like Pedri, Gavi Fati has a lot to learn before being truly world class but their growth is being slowed down by washed veterans who refuse to accept their time is up. They should look at Iniesta and even Xavi himself who left when they realized it was time.
hazard is not finished, but he probably won’t ever be the player he was at Chelsea. Still a good squad player though
The sound of another lever 😅
" _God's Plan, God's Plan_ " ...
Your content creation skills keep improving my guy, I wish I could edit as well as you do. You've also been more "loose" so to speak lately with your humor and your script, even your sponsored posts are good.
Thanks, man!
Hazard needs to make a move now since he no longer has the upper hand in the squad
this hurts as a barca fan
wait till Inter qualify for the UCL round of sixteen with Bayern; Hala Madrid😄😄😄
Bro we've been through 8-2 . Liverpool
Hazard needs to leave and probably go to France or Seria A, he could regain his form but fitness is key
Not going to lie. My dad works for a company called swedish match and they sell and produce rillows like white owl (very popular for rolling weed) and when I saw barca's kits I didn't think Drake. I immediately thought White owl. If you Google them you'll see why I've always mixed them up
robben vid pls
I forgot hazard played for Madrid 💀
Don't count your eggs before they hatch Barca.
Lewandowski: Scores two goals in UCL against Inter
Tinashe: hE DOeS NoT SCorE iN BIg gAMes
And to put this screenshot to make it look like he only had to tap the ball in to score is misleading at best.
Scored in one big game out of 4, what an achievement!
HALA MADRID Y NADA MAS
as a CITY fan am always amused that Barca actually think that Garcia deserves to be in their squad.
Why don't you do more videos related to man United? I heard you were a utd fan and your utd videos are always good.
What is there to make a video on might red devils untill and unless they really go up direct and win the europa there is nothing to talk after sir alex they have really been bad and will take time to be back to top 4
There s nothing to talk
Barcelona definitely have been better than last season so far and will get even better with time but their fans delusion about possible treble or even sextuplets in the beginning of the season was just insane! Now they face reality which was obvious for anyone who wasn't a Barca fan!
It's a joy to see them suffer now!
you sound South African bro? am I right
The title is almost worthy of Bojack Horseman.
As a usmnt fan it was Barcelona that got me into football back in 2014 but fuck them for how they did my boy Dest. Glad they’re out early if the ucl
Can you please open that curtain in your next video?
Kessie could have had a startingposition at the italian champion but instead he chose to be a bench warmer at fc fucking barcelona bro fucking barcelona man i still cant believe it such a shame.
Lewandoswki should have been at Real Madrid, Benzema at United and Ronaldo at Bayern. This summer that is.
Meanwhile Arsenal were fighting hard against the curse 💀
Football Iconic is the goat
I have good songs as well
Yaya Toure : Am the King of.......
Yrs later..............
Yaya : OH NO!! 😱😰It's Drake!OH NO! My throne....My throne😰
Benzema!
How did he break Barcelona 😂😂😂
drake's fault
A thing that I can't get my head around is how clueless Xavi sounds after every game his team losses.
He always seems to be perceiving the circumstances, and specific errors from the players as the main reason for the loss.
But fails at realizing maybe his playing style could be a breeding ground for those mistakes to happen.
I mean, playing possession so high up on the pitch, any missed pass, any interception from the rivals, and they get in a perfect position for a counter attack, with a lot of space, with Barça's defense misplaced. Also this puts great pressure in Barça's CBs, and they have shown to not be of the quality necessary break the counters.
That is Barcelona style and is not negotiable. Is part of the team philosophy.
Putting Roberto on Vini Jr, because he did SO well guarding Mane in UCL 🙉🤦. I'd rather put Dembele as right wing back. 🤔
At least I am not the only one who notices that Lewandowski is almost absent on larger matches. We get that he is considerably the top goalscorer of his generation and by far, but I'd choose Benzema and Suarez over him anytime. Sometimes one goal, assist or even a dribble or a key pass is far more valuable than 3 goals on a 5 0 match.
What ?
Suarez maybe yes, Benzema ffs not even on the same bracket.
top 3 means top 3 of all active players , if he wanted to say top3 midfielders he would had said that instead
as for the injuries excuses Benzy was out for 3 or 4 games TC has been out 4 games and Case is gone so save us the BS ....
as for better?? every one said wait for his next season after his preseason and his new players come....
well they won classico 4-0 last season with out the 7 new players Xavi got rid of some of those players and kept some average ones and failed to fix the FB problems and still have the same problems of failing to do anything with all that possession & No Plan B against the decent clubs
& IM absolutely😂😂😂😂😂😂 loving it
It's not Drake curse.
Real question, Tinashe: Which club do u support?
It's gonna go great for Barcelona, it's just gonna go greater for Real Madrid.
Greatest club in the history of sports.
Eden Hazard has become a La Liga flop. Before a year or so I thought the 'Premier League legend' would get back to his old self but no chance of that happening. No chance Vinicus, Rodrigo, Valverde & Benzema playing in Madrid.
Hello young Gus fring
Hazard has been done
I know people like to make fun and everything, but I think the Barça downfallis because of very unfortunate events. At the end of the day I don't think Real Madrid would fare really well if they had to play their 4th and 5th choice cb, we saw what happened with Liverpool just last year in 2021 when they lost their defensive starters. At the same time Xavi should have had some sense and not played someone who has honestly been a defensive liability since 2013 during the most difficult games of the season in defensive midfield while all the main defenders are out injured. And having 2 purely creative wingers just makes 0 sense to me, only 1 striker is not enough of a goal threat and every big team plays with at least 1 winger who can drive in from the flank and do something other than spam crosses (Vinicius, Salah, Sane/Musiala)
Thing is Xavi doesn't have the players he exactly needs, its why a lot of players were pressured to leave, to make room for other players, like bernardo silva, foyth, rather all the old captains stayed, busquets plans to leave and thats good but jordi and pique, they are causing problems by not leaving, which is why xavi is in the worst case scenario if a lot of players were to be injured.
You would notice pre international break barca, he rotates everyone, giving every player time to play and build up chemistry, which is all down the drain with injuries. And with the performance of ferran and paranoia related to ansu, its understandable why he relies on raphina and dembele
You're a true Barça fan mate, I mean who else would seek optimism via false excuses.
Last season Nacho and Vallejo (3rd & 4th choice CBs) played 42 and 8 matches respectively. Lucas Vazquez played 41 matches as RB. Casemiro also played as CB in 2 matches. And yet Real Madrid managed to win the UCL and La-liga titles. Injuries are part and parcel of any sport and every great team knows how to tackle that situation. Not to forget about the squad depth of Barcelona is on par with the likes of Man City and Bayern Munich, and yet somehow Barça fans are getting orgasms blindfoldly from Xavi & Laporta's Lever pulling noises.
You think Madrid would struggle if they had to play Rudiger, Nacho or Vasquez? You won't see a difference. Vasquez easily replaced Carvajal for long stretches and Madrid kept going as usual. Nacho can pick any spot on the defensive line and would still play like anyone he replaced.
It's just quality man. Madrid just have a better quality bench. Barca just pulled the levers and went to town. Brought whoever was available. That's the difference.
@@kvineet631 nope, Barca bought quality players, but too inexperienced, but they quickly adapted to the Barca system, Whats different from real compared to barca is barca had horrible financial decisions before laporta, many useless players, and la liga ffp to deal with, real madrid had good management, its why they won the UCL, Barca got screwed thanks to pique and alba not wanting to leave, atleast roberto and busquets had uses, but the other two didn't making it hard to buy any solid players which xavi needed.
We should have never sold Auba
hate to say it but el Classico is for now , officially a one sided rivalry to Real Madrid
they are pretty even. Remember the last clasico, barcelona destroyed Madrid.
lmao they just got destroyed by barca 4-0 in march at the Santiago Bernabeu so stop talking nonsense
Hazard should never have left Chelsea
So you finally revealed your Barca-hater personality. about time bro...!
Modric to Chelsea
loving the fact all the Barca fans were on the Laporta band wagon of europe isnt ready for us LOL LOL LOL
big joke is hes taken a huge risk
A. he isnt in finance or ecconomics
B. he is a politician
C. lied about Messi staying
Barca problem any body saying injuries is kidding them selves...
Araujo & Kounde were all there when Bayern played 4 mins of football scoring 2 goals so comically their full 1st chouice back men were there... Xavi ball and not knowing what to do with all that possession and then not being able to identify a problem & mix it up ...
which im laughing about
That game could have gone Barcelona way if Lewy didnt miss so many chances.
I love ur content bro but don't blame Drake🤣🤣🤣 Barca r just bad
nah its a lot of things why barca lost, they aren't bad, just real were better
This guy is on real Madrid's subreddit, all the same jokes 😅
Hala madrid
