Correction 09:49 - meant to say Vinicius Jr has more assists than Messi in the knockout stages of the UCL - 12 assists each. Apologies for that!
I was going to write a confused comment 😂
I wrote a confused comment indeed xD
real madrid vs bayern and Psg vs Dortmund*
Over hyped Leo Messi, pampered footballer, with everything handed to him, imagine if he was actually talented. Here comes the Messi fanboys, Predictable CR7 bashing Predictable personal attacks Predictable Messi apologists They are like the fn Zionists.
Calm down bro 😂. Take some rest, we understand you.
Real Madrid with the power of friendship
In multiple interviews Ancelottis is said to be the 2nd best tactical trainer, after Pep, but due to the history of the players he coaches, they get more freedom, than in other teams.
Works almost everytime
🤝🏿
It's more than that: 1. They have the best physical trainer in pintus who has conditioned players to go for long hours enduring barrage after barrage without losing focus. 2. They restricted foden, rodri from shooting in their most efficient spaces. 3. Kept Bernardo ineffective by making city psychologically aware that vini will always be present on their right flank. If walker had made runs to the front Bernardo could have had some efficiency upfront. Mandy kept him in check. 4. If they had squad depth they could have snatched the win in extra time. But they lacked the squad depth for that. They created clear cut chances in extra time.
Didnt Zealand say the Same? 😂
Real Madrid is pretty much the embodiment of "F*ck it, we ball!" at this point.
Literally. Just a collection of ballers, balling out 😂
we somehow balled at Ethaid and beated Man City's home winstreak which was like 6 years
Exactly just beautiful football and they beat peps boring ass football of just passing till you get a tap in 😂
@@MecofmecsYeah, sure, City's football is boring, the fuck are you on? 😂
@Mezgj32 what was so beautiful about parking the bus?
Man that Dortmund Atletico game was a BANGER
One for the history books 🙌🏿🔥😋
didn’t get to watch 😢
The best out of all 4, amazing game.
And when you think how many players they lost in the last 2 seasons it's unbelievable.... The way they play under Terzic is beautiful. Hope they make 3-4 good signings this summer.... Reus is getting old and Moukoko doesn't play like he used to
Dortmund going from being ranked as #4 in the group stages to semi finals is something to behold
A true underdog story ngl
I actually had Dortmund going through just not first and all the way to the Semi Finals. My group F predictions were 1. PSG 2. Dortmund 3. New Castle 4. AC Milan
Sancho wins Champions League 7hag gets the sack. 😂
I’m a Newcastle fan and I still rated us 4th in that group of death as the team without ucl experience for a long time. Even though we finished last it shows how well we competed and how strong the group was that both winners have got to the semis
Keep in mind, Dortmund top the "group of death".
Rudiger is to Haaland what Gary Oak is to Ash Ketchum
hahaha!
Great analogy
And what is he against Asano of Japan? 🤣🤣 A clown? He and Kroos are true madridogs. Never turn up for Germany. Traitors
Bro that's lit 😂😂
More like what my dad is to my late night party dreams
the depth of Man City frightened me - They brought out Julian Alvarez, Kovacic, Stones... All we had was Lucas Vazquez and a dream. WE FUCKING BALL
What do you mean "all we had". GOATQUEZ the 5 time UCL winner is more than any other team can have on the bench
Respect Lucas.
@@Siscon92 it's obviously a joke lol, i was calm on the penalty with him shooting
bro came in clutch
In a fair world Vazquez is better than that over rated Argentine shit named Messi. So, what wrong with Vazquez?
15:55 the Jude Bellingham derby
DUDE! How did I miss that. Shameful
@@FootballIconic you shouldn't pressure yourself for this jokes we would understand if you skip once in awhile specially when it is......🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@FootballIconic lmao, this would go hard tho, imagine Bellingham scores in the final and can't even celebrate bc it's his former team
Dont know I think belingham would still celebrate. He has those vibes. Mark my words@@chimporila

Dortmunnd winning the UCL would be brutal to Kane 😢
i hope they do. redo of 2013
Bro, we do not need to curse him even more now 😂😂😂
@@riichobamin7612yeah haha I feel bad for Kane. Guys just doing his job. Unfortunately he played for Tottenham
@@mr.pay2win176 yeop. Kane stats have always been of a World Class players.
Mans scored 40 goals & everyone still gotta envy him to point of still not giving him his credit. Speaks volumes
I would really wish he would get to have his own program for a major channel. His voice, analysis, humor are always spot on.
I don’t wish that at all. Independent media shits on mainstream. No upside to that.
@@demejiuk5660sadly, you’re right.
@@demejiuk5660 I wish him what it takes to be more successful and to reach as many fans as possible. Whether as independent or on mainstream media.
@@demejiuk5660And yes, there are far worse independent media in sports, politics, economy etc etc. Their consumers are morons as opposed to the many mainstream sheep. It doesn't sound nice but morons is the right word
Real Madrid really said "this is Family" (in Vin Diesel's voice)
They are a family Madiristas call them la familia
Vini Diesel
@@KidneyLicker lmaoooo 😂💀
@@Model_Roealso Friendship FC
@@Taizuren yeah I heard all the Real Madrid players are like best friends irl thats why they have such great chemistry on the pitch
The best year of champions league glory I've ever seen in my life.
You started watching this year?
18/19 was crazy too
12/13, 18/19 and 21/22 were also great! And the three consecutive titles from real madrid were also amazing CL seasons. It's hard to choose one season as the best.
Chelsea vs Bayern 2012 was immaculate
It's OK but can't hold a candle to 2002-03, 2004-05 or 2006-07.
Valverde pulled off a masterclass, the silent maestro.
Antonio Rudiger is the best defender of the season, even if they fall on the Semis. Since Van Dijk's start at Liverpool, i haven't seen such a formidable performance from a def.
Now please pray he can conserve that into the Euros! 🇩🇪🍻Cheers and greetings.
you havent seen Mats Hummels performances in Munich and San Siro then. So so underrated. Imo hes the best CB this szn, never got recognition unfortunately
Hummel's comeback this season has been legendary
Madrid losing the final to dortmund would be insane for jude bellingham. At the same time beating his former club he almost lead to a title in a ucl final would also be heartbreak, but in general a cool matchup from the perspective of his legacy/story
Real Madrid are definitely winning champions please be serious 🤣 not to discredit what Dortmund has accomplished but respectfully Real Madrid are not Athletico Madrid champions league final is between Real Madrid vs PSG which would be crazy Hala Madrid ♥️
Other play in the finals, but Real Madrid wins the finals. That's an unsaid rule of the Champions League!
0:29 REAL MADRID'S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BLACK MAGIC 😭
I mean they are always in the semis like how often they aren't , they play UCL like it's their own league
@@morving7714 rm definitely has a lot of 'black' magic that's for sure
It's called VAR
@@warpitexis2341🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@warpitexis2341cry me a river
One thing about the shootout that blows my mind: Lucas Vazquez was just juggling the ball before he took his kick. And in the 2016 final he was spinning the ball on his finger 😳
So glad someone mentioned this
Yeah i saw that in ESP short. But how gansta can u get?!! Vasques: YES!!
I was on my knees praying to every God I know to bless us And Lord Vazquez just juggled up the ball 💀 My man got balls of steel
"Dortmund won't survive the group" they said. "Dortmund is the easiest draw in the quarter-final" they said.
Well well, here we are now
They had a billion dollar squad We had homegrown Lucas and Nacho scoring pens and Carvajal locking both Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish (170 mill combined) up. Y'ALL MUST HAVE AMNNESIA CAUSE YOU'VE FORGOT THAT REAL MADRID IS HIMMMMM!
Real are lucky and they spend just as much
@@ccc5949 we don't, but keep yapping
@@ccc5949Seems like Manchester City needs to work on penalties and making use of their shots with that many 33 shots only 9 on target.
@@ccc5949 at the beginning of the season Manchester city net transfer spend over the last decade was negative -1086 M Euros, the second highest in football only behind Manchester United. Real Madrid ranked 28th, with a -193M net spend. Man City has spent 5 times more, so no its not even close. 😉
@@ccc5949 Our most expensive players are Jude at 100 M and Tcho at 40 M. Rest of our squad is entirely what we bought for 40-50 M or free transfers.
I will always remember that Dortmund completely took out the most lethally dangerous Real Madrid that has ever existed: 2013 Counter attack kings. It makes it impossible for me to ever count them out again, regardless of anything lol.
Marco Reus winning the UCL in what's possibly his final season against Bayern of all teams would make me cry
you are the 'mkbhd of football'! Kudos to you man, love the channel.
This is so true
why because he is black?
Emery kicking arsenal in the bullocks not once but twice is a thing of beauty. And when Ancelotti does his 🤨 emoji, you know he's gonna have a good day.
He wakes up w that face & goes to bed w it. That's his resting face.
Keep it coming Tinashe 🤌🏾🤌🏾
I was waiting for this one
Same, man
Same i was checking back every 30 minutes since like 3 hours ago
yeah bro
"Seems to me that city could use some help with pens" tsssssssss cold 🥶🥶
Amazing description of all games, first time in a while I feel a creator puts this much effort into making such a good review video, keep up the good work man your amazing
your channel is so underrated. best storytelling, good laughs ; you are hilarious man! 👌🏽💯
What I find kinda funny is that the “top leagues” lost most pf their reps. Both English teams are knocked out and only one spanish team remain. All were knocked out by teams from “farmer’s leagues”
There is ALWAYS 1sp team 32 semiFin through out history
And Bayern didn't even win the title this season so the farming is over (for now) 😂
You're not supposed to say that 3 of 4 teams left are farmers league teams. And that the "best league in the world, aka Peps farmers league, didn't get a SINGLE team to semifinals. Boy they're sooooo ELITE😂🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I mean, the premier league is financially more important than the champions league and has been for years now. I treat winning the champions league as in-between the Premier League and FA Cup. It's the second-best cup for an English club imo. If you can win the superteam tournament, it's a nice bonus. :-)
@@okapi3202 yeah and LaLiga is even lower than that. Interestingly the way Madrid fans see it is, be on top of Barcelona, Champions League, LaLiga title
Its been a very exciting quarter finals overall! Thanks for another brilliant upload
Great video from the start to finish
Another masterclass by Pep Centre forward goal keeper wing back midfielder through ball inverted full back plays Another 500 million please DADDY SHEIKHY because we are the underdogs
What do you mean by that? Are you mad or what, don't be arrogant over your victory. You parked the bus Pep doesn't need 500 millions, he need f'cking 2 billions to win against madrid once more. Note: the first para was obv a joke, I was just trying to mock those oilchester fans making excuses
@@Anonymous-fr2opyour team is fucking irrelevant maybe
Liked the video as soon as it was uploaded, love your reviews!
The best yt channel I live for this videos, i never miss an upload Keep it up Tinashe

This man's content is pure gold
Awesome take as always T.
amazing work as always!

Shoutout to you and your content.
Excellent analysis my guy
As Musa Okwonga would say: "These quarterfinal gave us ALL THE MINERALS" 😋 i can't imagine how it mustve felt actoss the board for neutrals or anybody hate watching their rivals 😂 My beloved Real Madrid put us through hell but i wouldn't have it any other way. We always make it difficult but we somehow escape. Cheers for the coverage as always 👊🏿🙏🏿
Are you Spanish?
@@dondamon4669 Nope, born and raised in Zimbabwe now living in Canada. My Madrid ties come from family and having visited as a kid growing up during the galáctico era 👊🏿
@dondamon4669 You are most stupid football fan ever! Congrats
Love the videos bro!
That touch by Bellingham was absolute class too
good on u for giving real their flowers for their defensive performance, not a lot of ppl doing that
Only stupid butthurt dogs are barking about it! Intelligent people are appreciating it
"Vainita got 5 business days to set up his shot " 😂😂😂😂😂
The Madrid city game was like when you play fifa with your friend that sucks but there computer defense and goalkeeper decide to play the game of there lives saving. Like 23 shots and then you lose on penalties
TBH I think the game unfolded just as Carlo wanted it to 😂if you noticed towards the end all the Man City players were looking visibly frustrated and angry and all the Real Madrid players looked surprisingly calm and collected and cool they wanted it to go to pens because they knew Real Madrid would win and that's exactly what happened
Yah and if city won you would cry how badly real played and how great City was. Real was ass didnt had the tools to beat City so they tried to get a 50/50 chance to win. This wasnt a master plan this was desperation. @@Model_Roe
@@BaxsStudiosI call it a win with defensive tactic Madrid knew what to do had a plan and it worked. Madrid deserved to go through.
@@BaxsStudios the fact of the matter is that Real Madrid lead the elimination 58% of the time through both matches (116 minutes), ManCity only 8% (18 minutes) Man City were loosing most of the time. The two times City took the lead it didn't last more than 10 minutes before Madrid turned it around. It was ManC who was allways trying to catch up.
The Nuri Sahin derby joke wrecked me😅😅...Nice video. Loved every second of it❤
The only bad thing about these games was that we had 2 at the same time. I would've loved to have watched them all individually
Has to be. Knockout rounds has to same time. For fairness
Your videos are excellent.
lol “ (I Live Alone) “ , had me dying, funny mate keep it up😂🎉
Nice to watch your video because you think well before you speak unlike those sports pundits who never had second thoughts and judge a lot
As someone who follows more football than just the Premier League I knew that it was very unlikely that Arsenal would just steamroll over Bayern. Arsenal look great against weaker opposition, but they struggle immensely against teams that are tough and compact, as seen in the previous CL round against Porto. And as you said yourself, they always seem to bottle it late in the season. That Arsenal squad also has zero experience when it comes to winning tough knockout matches. Bayern, on the other hand, has players who won a world cup and at least one UCL, some even two. That kind of experience and winning mentality is not something you can just ignore - it's the same as with Real. In addition to the fact that both teams have top10 squads in Europe, of course. And speaking about the matchups, it's also interesting to know that if Barca had beaten PSG the four teams in the semi-finals would have been the exact same ones as 2013 where Bayern and Dortmund went to the final - which was also held at Wembley. It also would have been great to at least touch on the subject of tactical tweaks Tuchel made to keep Arsenal in check. He had two left wing-backs on the pitch to neutralize Saka and he put Laimer on guard duty for Ödegaard, both of which worked very well. The "farmer's league" term is something uneducated people say and I would even go as far as to say the that the majority of the Premier League is very overrated. Man City are the real deal but they aren't as good as last season, Arsenal is a very good and aspiring team but only being good is not enough to make it all the way. And Liverpool is basically re-inventing themselves but they are not as good as they used to be. When you look at what happened to English clubs over the past two days there is a clear pattern - City was unlucky and got dropped out of the UCL against Real, Bayern deservedly knocked out Arsenal, Liverpool got knocked out of the EL against Atalanta Bergamo in a bad way and West Ham got knocked out by the new German champs Leverkusen.
I mean I get that farmers league is just slander but… I don’t know how else to describe Ligue 1
@@tomas.lambert Why? Ligue 1 is a good league and we all know that France has probably the deepest talent pool in Europe. The only problem France has is PSG - it's one team that dominates. In England there are multiple teams like PSG, but does that make it better? Yes, the competition at the top is a bit more interesting (I am saying that knowing that Man City has won like 4 out of the last 5 titles), but the gap between the top clubs and the others is absolutely massive as well.
@@MrReese the thing is that apart from PSG, they underperform in European competitions. Yes, Marseille is doing good in europa league, but it’s an outlier rather than the norm (and it’s europa league)
@@tomas.lambert I believe many French clubs suffer a lot from the failed broadcasting deal that was supposed to give them a good amount of money but it failed and they had to settle for a lot less. While the EPL broadcasting deal is of course by far the most lucrative, the deals for the Bundesliga and LaLiga are also quite good. The Ligue 1 deal is a lot lot less. According to wiki this is how much money each team gets from their respective deals: Premier League: £81,600,000 (so roughly 85m EUR) La Liga: €49,500,000 Serie A: €46,375,000 Bundesliga: €29,972,222 Ligue 1: €15,315,789 The valuea for the Germany and France are also lower because the deals apparently are for 1st and 2nd division clubs as opposed to only the top division like in the other countries.
@@tomas.lambert Stupid YT automatically deletes any comment when mentioning sourcess, so I can't do that here. Suffice to say that Ligue 1 has a lot less money because their broadcasting deal fell through and they had to settle for less. This does not hurt PSG with an basically indefinite amount of money, but it hurts every other team in the league very badly.
I'll casually mention that Tomas Tuchel managed 3 of the 4 teams in the semis in the past 7 years, which is kinda crazy to think about.
While it certainly sounds impressive he also managed to give bayern their 1st league loss since 2012
Now everything is possible. Real being Real, PSG being PSG, Terzic's black magic, and the prayers of Arsenal fans for Bayern. What a CL season!
Kimmich, our saviour!
Nuri Sahin Derby i cant 😂😂😂
As City fan I can't complain. We lost in a great game. Rooting for Dortmund to win that final. They deserve to lift that lost Cup.
Fantastic video. Should have discovered this channel sooner
Another Dembele derby in this ucl season against his other former club Dortmund. As a Barca fan it's a disgrace letting this snake go to the semis instead of us. It is truly becoming the history of the Barcelona.
😂😂😂 salty lil boy. Without messi you'll be nothing.
@@xGSxAmAZyn Maybe ur right but we made Messi and he ended up being the goat. What has ur team ever done
@@joshuamwendakaberia171 Other clubs do not depend on one single player and can still get to UCL semifinals and finals. It is not about having the best play, it is about having the best team.
Where was Messi in 1992? Did we not make qf this year without Messi? How many knockout appearances did Messi make in 2006? You're deluded if you think Barca have never made UCL finals without Messi when we won 2 without him (1 completely and the other he made 1 appearance outside of the group and had 1 goal in 4 appearances.@@Harry-tb8yo
@@DontAttme I am aware that Barcelona had huge success before Messi came in. They also attracted many world class players before Messi was even born. So I am obviously talking about the time Messi was at Barcelona and the time after he left. I also never claimed that Barcelona never made it to CL finals without Messi. That's a thing you just made up.
The fact that this analysis is so much better quality than what both paramount and espn fc can muster up officially (maybe minus Thierry Henry's) is astonishing
glad to say Hala Madrid
Real Madrid are definitely winning champions league this year Hala Madrid ♥️

Amazing
Dortmund v Bayern is the 2013 final in Wembley AGAIN!! I hope it happens and this time Dortmund win
Rodrygo is simply too good
i wanted to watch PSG vs Barcelona, but I could not turn away from Dortmund Atletico. Incredible game!
Real Madrid with plot armor.
15:56 Jude Bellingham Derby
MADNESS, i tell ya!
Drop a tear for the Premier Farmers League 😢 RIP
It was a masterclass defending performance by Bayern. If you watched the whole match you could see how perfectly Laimer played on Oedegard, Goretzka was outmuscling everyone around the box and duo Mazzroui and Guerrero were just DOGS on Saka. Plus Guerrero become what everyone thought Davies would be.
This Intro >>
Nuri Sahin Derby - ahahahahah, great one 😂❤
As a Souuth African, i love this channel 🇿🇦❤️
The Jude Bellingham touch leading up to the goal is majestic,criminal that you didn’t include it
Our worst squad in the last decade and we still beat Arsenal at their best, MIA SAN MIA
Unfortunately they play mah bois RM next. RIP Bayern. Can't wait for the game regardless
Semis tho, anything can happen
It's the beautiful game where nothing is for certain. Can't wait for the game
Your squad has a Harry Kane more then last years squad
This is certainly not the worst squad that Bayern have had in the last decade, especially as Tuchel is very well suited to playing knockout football. It's just that Leverkusen are way to good lol. Also Arsenal were certainly not at their best in that match either
Cmon dortmund now’s your chance
I love that you said "... couldn't give a toss"! You are officially adopted-English 🙂
One of the best CL draws ever
Bayern won ucl 2013 next year we beat for the first time at their home ground chelsea won it 2021 we beat them at their home next year for the first time now city won it and we won for the first time at etihad
Real Madrid are winning champions league this year remember I said it first 😆 Hala Madrid ♥️
Bayern Dortmund in the final in Wembley, 2013 vibes
Dembele was playing with pure hatred, 3 goals in both legs against your former team… he was a menace on the right wing. performance was one for the books
Funfact, the last time Dortmund was in a Cl semi-final, they lost 2:1 to Bayern in Wembley...
it could happen again. As a German and Bayern fan I wouldnt say no ;)
@@Fabii2000 Harry Kane's presence alone would already make sure Bayern wouldn't win that particular final.
@@segafreak2000 the ucl trophy as his first and only trophy would be funny as well
The sprint duels of Hummels vs. Mbappé will be interesting to watch :D
Real Madrid is just straight up broken in the Champions League.
2 Out 4 Clubs from the Bundesliga. Not Bad for a Farmers League
The Sahin derby had me wheezing
Bayern Losing UCL to Dortmund (of all teams in Semis) will be the most "Kane Curse" things.
Haa haa😂
BVB vs Bayern Munich = Wembley 2013 all over again (I hope BVB will get a revenge and make Harry Kane's curse continues). BVB vs Real Madrid = Jude Bellingham Derby. Also, Liverpool and West Ham United were out already in Europa League, while Aston Villa only beat Lille on penalties. A complete bad week for EPL clubs right now.
Sick of Real winning. 14 and counting and they got Mbappe next season.
Cry 😭 more 😂 get used to it we are winning champions league this year and the next UCLs back to back for about seven years Hala Madrid ♥️
Ok guys hear me out: Dortmund win the Champions League, Austria win the Euros, Marcel Sabitzer Ballon d'Or.
No
Haha. Not quite.
@@lowersaxon I think they're being sarcastic 🤣
couldnt agree more
Wake up! You've overslept again.
PSG vs Bayern is the Tuchel derby
to be fair, any game not involving Real could be the "Thomas Tuchel derby" as you put it. If there is such a thing as a plan for CL maxing it would require Dortmund to win and simultaneously place 5th in the league
Bayern vs Madrid after 6 years, can’t wait!!
Takk!
real madrid vs dortmund is the,jude is playing against his old club already,and in a ucl final
People kept saying that City have the best squad depth in the World but they forget that Madrid still has Vasquez this man has won 5 Champions League that’s more than what Man City, United, Chelsea has ever won 😂. If next season Madrid kept all the veterans while also going for Yoro, Davies, a new CB, a new RB, a new CM, and a new striker with the possibility of Mbappe joining good luck for City because they’ll never win a Champions League ever again😂😂😂
Every year they doubt REAL Madrid just to be proven wrong 😂 hala Madrid
