All the pundits predictions turned out wrong! ❌ Arsenal to beat Bayern ❌ Manchester City to beat Real Madrid ❌ Athletico Madrid to beat Dortmund ❌ Barcelona to beat PSG I need to stop watching ESPN FC. Lol
I just watch it to laugh at them.
@@bibekbasa same bro
None made it, haha
Don't, every time the panel has the same bet they always lose lol so you just need to bet against their pick lol
Klinsman got every prediction, right
ESPN is always doubting and ruling out Real Madrid all the time and they keep proving them wrong
Let's be fair, they never rule out RM. RM are the blessed ones in CL.
This crew are too biased with their pundits
To be honest, I like it when they do that because it drives Us the fans to push the players to perform💯
Both madrid and Ronaldo Lmaoo been laughing at these dudes since forever
Try watching them talk about Bayern, it's probably worse.
Carvajal is an absolute legendary warrior🔥 year after year this guy defends his heart out.
Ramos spirit lives on
Such an inspiring performance 💪
You know if Grealish is still in his pocket or no?
Apuu wasa rough
Imagine having to deal with both Grealiah and Doku in one match?? Absolutely insane, what a legend.
people need to realize that Real Madrid was never going to the Etihad Stadium to dominate possession whatsoever. Ancelotti knew he needed to score first and he did with Rodrygo; if Madrid hadn't scored first, then there would have been no way that this team would come back. Ancelotti played around with Pep's tactics. City having like 70% possession meant nothing if everything they did with the ball was sideways or backward. For Ancelotti, he dictated City's style of play with his defensive structure and player movements. Yes, I agree that it looked disgusting to watch, but Ancelotti dictated the play for tonight's game. He was never going to play like last year when we lost 4-0 and he made the field open for City. In fact, all those goals for City came from central positions where Real Madrid's defense was dissected through the middle. This year, he blocked the middle of the park, which is where City thrives and gave them the wings. Ancelotti was playing around with Pep without Pep even knowing. This was a typical "You take the ball and play with it, but I won't give you a chance to penetrate and expose me" situation. Even City's goal today came from a lucky rebound back to De Bruyne. Other than that, City just passes the ball amongst each other with no real threat most of time. It felt like they kept the ball for 5 minutes for each attack and nothing happened. I don't know why people are pissed at the fact that Ancelotti didn't expand his team and make the game so open. He knew that the only way to beat City was by closing down the midfield and forcing them sideways. Then, it becomes a training ground drill of pressure and cover for the players. The agenda that City dominated was due to Ancelotti giving City the ball for the entire game, knowing well that he can control the way City attacks with his defensive structure. It was working the whole game but eventually, the ball rebounds in the path of a City player for a goal. Other than that, Ancelotti coached a defensive masterclass that City struggled all night to break down. Let's not forget, the same thing happened in the 3-3 game where City just passed the ball sideways and rarely created chances. In the 1st leg, they only scored through goals from outside the 18-yard box. Today, the exact same thing happened but Madrid had less possession than in the 1st leg. The only difference is that City never shot from a distance. Over the 2 legs, City could only really create scoring chances by shooting from outside the 18-yard box. We need to give a lot of credit to Ancelotti because he basically nullified City's passing through the midfield lines and forced City to play a boring sideways passing game over the 2 legs. Once again, Real Madrid controlled the game by having the ball since their defensive shape dictated that game and Real Madrid was content since they were making City do what they wanted them to do. That is to pass the ball sideways and backward and not penetrate through the midfield.
Good perpective
Brilliant 👏 analysis
yet again if De Bruyne had took that 2nd chance that he usually buries all this analysis would be nothing 😂😂
In short city did the foreplay and Madrid did the KNACKING 😅😅 .
@@hazacarrobinson6673 Constant over analysis. When the chance comes, you put it away and it's a different game. In the end, they win the lottery. The blessed ones.
Lord Lucas Vasquez has nerves of steel, juggling with the ball there just before taking the penalty,it just reminded me of 2016 when he was coming to take penalty while rolling the ball on his finger in ucl final against Atletico Madrid. The most chilled person on ucl's nights.
Oh, my. 1 % of that man's confidence when he is taking a penalty would do wonders for most of us.
Gotta respect Lord Vasquez 😎 he pulled through for us tonight 😎😎💯
THIS! I am always amazed by Vasquez's chill attitude when taking penalties on the biggest stages of club football! Man is ice-cold!
I thought the same thing I had a feeling he was going to take one I trust him with a pk. Man is ice cold on big match pks
Right! Soon as I saw I was 100% confident he would score.
Rudigar is one of the reasons why chelsea won a champios league. He locks the defene down!
He was exceptional. Man of the match.
thats right. we love Rudi. happy for him
german rulez
Luckily his only mistake didn’t cost us the match. Love him.
I mean honestly Haaland did nothing in both games, that has to be extra points to Rudiger. and scoring the last penalty is just the cherry on top.
Guardiola and Arteta losing in the CL at the same time. It's like the good old days!
Modric came on playing DM like he was Rodri. What a big time performer
Nacho played like maldini, rudiger played like rudiger and lunin challenged his inner courtois 😂, big win guys!

@@erickarias3309 and I guess they were lucky the year before that too 😁
@@nine6tails661 yeah, all they did was parking the bus waiting for a penalty shootout which is a lottery itself.
Klinsmann the only pundit after the 1st leg who accurately said this game would be 50/50 when everyone else had City as the favorites. Only one on that panel with a high enough footballing iq to call it accurately
The others were just blind with English biases
In what world is city not the favorites. They are the defending ucl winners and are the better team.
That game was not 50/50 it was 60/30 favorite. Madrid had a %30 percent chance of winning in open play. Most prediction don’t account for penalties and you guy was out class on the field
Madrid has as many quality players as city no reason why they can't go toe to toe and let's not forget in Spain it took to unexpected goals for city to equalise. Vini, Rodygo, Bellingham Brahim Diaz will destroy any defence in this world and they proved it, it was so easy to score city just a few attacks 1 goal! If I defend better than you and I attack more efficiently than you, doesn't that make me a better team?
Klinsmann actually predicted 1-1 as final score
Any Madrid fans here ? Bayern fan speaking here. I am so happy that you kicked Sheik City out. When did we meet the last time ? It has been a while. I think it was 2018. What a draught. Finally we can have a proper match again. 😀
2 great traditional teams! Big Madrid supporter here, but Bayern vs Madrid is THE CL classic
Our game is going to be a treat! Two great teams with great legacy. I’m genuinely happy Bayern qualified: meet you soon, brother.

Big mistake last year was Rudiger was benched. He’s world class tbh

He has done it in the CL a couple times already.... He hasn't missed.
Reminded me of that CL Final (against Atletico) where he was spinning the ball😅

Real Madrid has a personal relationship with the European Cup! it’s like that ex that keeps coming back.
The hate you give Lunin is mindblowing. Are you not watching La Liga? The whole games? Guys single handedly has them where they are. Look at his stats! He’s the number 1 GK in La Liga! And he’s only going to get better with each start. Get used to him being world class and arguably the best GK in the world.
1. Lunin the wall you can't beat. 2. Rudiger so good at almost everything on defending. 3. Valverde has exellent stamina, great box to box midfielder. And Vini, And Rodrygo together! What a pair they are on the field.
And all of them sat inside their own box for 120 minutes. I wouldn't be praising anyone except your defenders and Citys ability to dominate a game and not put goals in the back of the net
Funny how they couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. Guess Madrid is too good for City @@austinpadgett628
Defending is apart of the game too clown
@@austinpadgett628Madrid goal is cheff kiss, not lucky goal like City
Add Mbappe to Vinicius & Rodrygo 😮
Finally it's time for European Clasico. Bayern vs Madrid 🔥
Every time this has happened previously madrid have turned bayern over every single time.
@@ukgrandmaster978 I guess you started watching football in 2014
@ChrisKara-fq7rz well you stated finally and they have played enough times recently and madrid have done them everytime lol. Last time bayern won was on penalties more than a decade ago no point going back to the Stone age sausage
All the games I’ve watched Bayern vs Madrid, Real cheated most of times
@@ukgrandmaster978 It's also been a while that they last faced each other. I know that in the 2014-2018 period of time we haven't done well against Madrid. You are the one who stated "everytime". It's not everytime
One sided with possession. City is the old Barcelona. Eventually that gets old. Once Madrid figured out Barcelona tiki taka it was over
Let us not forget that defending is part of football, good teams defend well when they are under pressure
Modric is just too good his dribbling is so perfect 🤩
did he dribble b4 the penalty?

Lunin man of the match for sure. What a beast
Him and rudiger...
Kroos
Rudiger was everywhere.
Valverde
R U D I G E R HERO
Lol, i think people have it messed up. Yes, I can say in the earlier stages Nacho was just a backup player. Over the years due to his versatility and with the threat of always playing 50+ games and potential injuries looming, he grew into the ideal cost effective player that could play all four positions and do it to the best of his ability. You think we would name a player we don't trust as captain?
It's always nice to come here to see the egg on their faces after beating their favorites😂😂😂
Now all the pundits, toxic premier league fans and barca fans can cry together 😂😂😂
Madrid fans are so toxic. Your team looked scared to even try to win and you're gloating about it😂😂 I'd be embarrassed if my team played like a championship side even if they went through. Guess thats the difference. I support City for beautiful football, yall support Madrid for glory "tHeY tHe BeST. LoOk aT AlL tHe CL tRoPhiEs" 🤡 Meanwhile yall talk about plastic and fake fans, but youre just fair weather glory hunters. Never seen more fake fans than Real Madrid.

@@mithunsl574 I was only talking about those barca fans who became city fan whenever they are playing against Real Madrid 🤣
@@delete9090 No bro it wasn't like that as Madrid fan i said City were favourite too because we are in transition years and 2 nd leg at city's home but these pundits they say there is no chance madrid can win especially they gave not single chance to Bayern despite they were playing second leg at home thats the problem with them even from start of the season they are saying like only team that can beat city in UCL is arsenal thats why i said cry now 🤘
Luca modric going for his 6th champions league, what a player
So would Kroos
And carvajal and nacho
Lucas Vazquez going for his 5th
POV: You play for Real Madrid. Nacho on his 6th minimal effort UCL.
He was so bad haha😂 and his pen lol
Roy Keane was right about Haaland! 115 reasons to celebrate 🥂
What does one sided mean? Madrid scored first and Man City had to dig deep to tight the game. Defense is part of the game as well and Madrid was excellent defensively. Congrats to them.
It's like Deja vu....I've commented this same thing here more than twice in the last couple of years. I ALWAYS love it when Real Madrid are completely written off in the Champions league. Then when Madrid turn things around, it's back to the 'they were lucky' and 'they were completely outplayed' narrative. Then they get written off again next campaign, rinse and repeat. Especially in a season where Real Madrid suffered the worst injuries possible and the same season Benzema left and was not replaced and everyone said they'd go trophyless. Ancelotti should never be disrespected again by any Madrid fan!
They won on penalties, it means nothing. 2022 comeback was crazy though
As a madrid fan the credit goes to players but approach with which we played today is totally unacceptable it's so risky too assoon as we scored the goal we were in the backfoot .. the first 10 minutes were good
It was even better when CR7 was still playing in Madrid, pundits writing Real Madrid off and also calling Ronaldo finished every single year and then he would turn out as top scorer every year in the end and Madrid winning it 3 times in a row. I also remember them calling Benzema trash during the CR7 era, then all of a sudden they licked his boots when he was by miles the best striker in the world after CR departure. Pundits are just worthless morons, nobody should ever listen to what they are saying.
The pundits are Man City fanboys

True, 1 champions league winner and everybody think they are unbeatable...
Yea they learned to park the bus and not try to play city in a normal manner lmao. It's also funny that you say that cause City just happened to miss so many sitters that the game could have very well been 4-1, just an unlucky day for one and a lucky one for the other.

@@manuelaparcedo417 33 shots came from passing it sideways?
Exactly, touching the ball doesn’t necessarily make you a better team. Anyone can play tiki taka, but you need to have end product and know how to filter passes.
Spain had this same problem a few years ago with the tiki taka plays that didnt do much but saw them having possession of the ball around the 18 yard box. They werent smart enough to start crossing the ball in the air with the hopes that a lucky header or a foul would be drawn . So, they couldnt penetrate through the ground play because of Madrid stacking the box and they never made any adjustments. Man City is suffering from the same problem. At a certain point, if you cant break the defense down through normal play, then, spread the ball wide and start putting air ball in the six yard box
Lol the way real Madrid left the possession for them was just crazy lol, man city passssssssssssed the ball , legend has it they are still passing today
Madrid ain’t leave the possession to them. City always have higher ball possession. Madrid was forced to defend

@@DrakeDHDerrthe better team went to semi finals .
There are many ways to win a football match, just because a team has most of the possession means nothing. We can forget that sometimes when a team defends they're pushing you into certain areas of the pitch where you can have possession but be ineffective with the ball so even shots at goal doesn't mean the defending team was outplayed if they're forcing you to take shots from distance. We all love attacking football but forget that defending is also a skill in itself so have to applaud Real for their strategy, tactics and nerve in the game
Real Madrid mental toughness over the years is unmatched by many top clubs
who is the team's psychologist?
Pain went straight to the club Barcelona FC and their fans FC.😂

@@ekomzyuche3402 you lack ball knowledge kid. Madrid played smart. Madrid knows what it lacks in front of a stacked City side and they found the most effective way to take on City
Most of the referee is below the whistle, but not all of him. Only from about the waist down (depends where he's holding his hand).
Rudiger defending really made the difference shutting the parasite's out, he was outstanding apart from the Man City equaliser
Well done our Manager Klingsman 👏🔥😀
Bernardo Silva looked like he was sleepwalking towards an exit when he took that penalty. Too many soft chances missed by City.
I hope espn highlights how there are no more English side in the champions league like how they did for the Italians
It's not about who deserved to go through. City held on to more possession , completed more passes, had way more shots on target and yet , it's a shame on city that they couldn't capitalized those opportunities. It's not madrid faults that they scored early goal and went to defensive duties . They came Etihad with a game plan and it worked in their favour . Your possession means nothing if you don't win the game . City got knocked out of ucl by themselves .
Foden bottled a clear cut chance by swivveling too early- simple trap + shoot - goal. No one mentioned this
Real Madrid’s dominance in the champions League needs to be studied 🧠🧐
Except for Klinsmann with common sense, all clowns in the ESPN FC pundits.
Now they can focus and predict well since their favourites are out..😂😂
Not common sense when City were favourites they had hammered Real Madrid the previous season, Real Madrid got away with their small team tactics.
@@erickarias3309 You have a striker who got bodied by Real Madrid's 4th choice center-back Nacho and who can only score against Luton. You have a team who have yet to win a game against Real in added extra time, yet Real are the ones who got away with small team tactics. Also, what does last season have to do with anything? 🤡🤡🤡
Hammered?? All 4 city goals last season were lucky, whcih madrid proved this season, If Madrid wants to stop and beat OILY OIL chester, they can do it anywhere!!
Last season has to do with city being the favorites lmao. Is it that hard to comprehend that the defending ucl winner city that so happened to destroy madrid last year wouldn't be the favorite?
Why ESPN fc always show Bellingham face when talk about real Madrid 😂 ? O English man I see .
You always write us off. But we are Real Madrid. Enjoy your humble pie
Here comes this people again. At the end of the day, Real Madrid win. Now go and cry 😂. Man city have possesion and bla bla😂
What alot of people don't realise Real Madrid is used to playing teams who 'play the barca way'. When teams have alot of possession and try to score by walking the ball into the box. Real Madrid have learned how to counter that playing style and unfortunately that's the only way Pep knows how to play
Jurgen got it all right, maybe because he wasn't biased. These guys need to watch more football.
How much more football can they watch?
What were all klopps predictions?
That Bernardo Silva penalty kick ! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy !! Brilliant ... That rat thought he was too smart.
The shot looked like Warm-up before the game.
If any player was born to be a Farcelona player then is that little MF i hate that little fucker
Why call the guy a rat tho?
@@nicholasbaldwin4897 ye im wondering that too, is there some silva hate im missing on? he seems like one of the cooler city players.
Pep was on and on about "team spirit" hard and loud talk....FOR PENALTIES 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What was he pushing players to do on penalties. Instead he messed-up with the calm space the payers need most when dealing with penalty shootouts. Learning from Don Carlo in this regard, will help him a great deal next time. Penalty shootouts need culmness and manager/coach needs to create an environment of calmness at any given opportunity. The last thing players need, its a loud and hard talking watermouth when they are about to take penalties.
Finally some respect being put out for Carlos Ancelotti. Rightly pointed, no manager can have Madrid where they are with so many injuries.
