I wasn't kidding when I said Dortmund in the champions league is a different beast than Bungesliga Dortmund.
Atlético Madrid reach the final of the champions league twice not once( so turns out it’s 3 not 2 my bad)
3 times actually
Rm really brag winning against club who havent won it smh
3 times*
Twice against real Madrid in 16 and 14. But When was the third time?
I can't wait to see your reaction to BVB knocking out Atletico.
I Know it’s Petty But its Bayer Leverkusen. Not Bayern Leverkusen. Bayer = drug company from City who started club, Bayern = Bavaria in german. Leverkusen couldn’t be much further away from Bavaria in Germany 😂😂
Exactly. It was jarring!
@@writingafrica yh i assume he will make a Europe league videos as it arguably just as good as the UCL. If he goes a whole Video Calling them Bayern it will be so jarring
Xavi isn’t getting fired even if Barca don’t win anything. He already announced he’s planning to leave
Contenders :Arsenal ,Man city and Rma Sleepers: FCB & Bayern Atl Madrid Pretenders: BVB and PSG
same for me but i would put bayern in pretenders
@@zigamz243nah no wayyy
U might be right@@zigamz243
Barca doin way better than arsenal
Funny how the pretenders knocked out the sleepers. But your prediction was solid considering the info you had at that time. Nevertheless, this is the ucl, and predictions rarely work out the way you'd expect.
All you said was true except the fact that, we are so far away from being the Man U of La Liga bro... thats just mean. We literally won the league last year and Man U had to celebrate a FA Cup QF win against Liverpool B team as if it was a title. We will never get to that...
More like the United with Finances and Aston Villa on the field.
For real. I'm a Real Madrid fan, but even I wouldn't compare Barcelona with Man U. That's just disrespectful.
Bro you won in the farmers league lol
Bro is in genuine denial
Cry more
I'm no Barca fan, but jesus christ that take came straight from the echochamber. Barca aren't great anymore, but they aren't a bad side, I swear you said it just for the engagement (which would be the most American thing possible).
Messi never broke into the first team at 16, Nor did he score 4 goals at 16
i swear this dude just makes stuff up but what did you expect from a american lol
I swear this guy does review his audio
@@MLGcoworker it’s a damn shame he just makes stuff up and sounds uneducated, and that he’s one of the more popular American football KZheadrs. I would recommend Maqwell and Zealand for 2 American football KZheadrs who have a lot of knowledge on the game.
Facts bro, this guy just makes stuff up.- Probably doesnt even know "The 16 year old" name
As okoye said in black panther "bluh Ammericans"@@MLGcoworker
Barca are "Pretenders" while Atleti are "Sleepers" meanwhile I don't even remember the last time Atleti beat Barca xD
he didn't mean it like that, in the UCL ppl are more scared of a team like atleti then barca for obvious reasons
@@darwinlitaf7544for obvious reasons ? Barca have won the competition five times which is five more times than atlético. Lol ok bud
@@dontworryaboutit8743History ONLY works on Real Madrid's favout though.
@@dontworryaboutit8743 yes for obvious fkin reasons. If a top european team goes to ever round doing nothing but parking the bus and bullying your players for every minute it is quite fkin scarry, and this video is not about how many times a club has won it, it is based on this seaon or the last 3, in which your beloved barca has been fucked by bayern and get knocked out of europa by man utd of all team itw
Atletico always gives Barca the six points with the intention of Real Madrid not winning LaLiga, they are a way better team that never faces Barca seriously at least in a Champions League Match where they always win
Bayern have not opened any door in the Bundesliga, but Leverkusen smashed through the goddamned wall. Bayern's results this year would have won several titles in previous years.
Tell us you havent watched Barca without telling us you havent watched them
I have watched enough Barca this season to know Real is gonna cook them.
@@spinyslasher6586in e Clasico it’s anyone game
He was right
Say it with me 4 1 😂😂😂😂
@@tonypowerstroke AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA
Bold of you to say Borussia Dortmund is the worst team when they just dominated and beat Bayern yesterday in the Bundesliga lol
sry bro but hes kinda right. Dortmund manly won because of the Bad form of Bayern and a stunning Hummels. I dont think that they can hold that form espacially with Terzic as coach. Only real argument i see going for them is that they topped group F.
@@user-uy6st6ui2vthere was also no pressure for Dortmund as well since they were not in the title race
As a BVB fan, I will admit we are the massive underdogs haha. But: we did get put on the easy side of the bracket, and I have confidence that we can beat either of Barça or PSG and make it to the final, should we manage to beat Atlético. Our victory against Bayern was a good omen, let’s bring it home!
Amen brother 💛🖤 I hope we do well
Imagen winning the ucl against Bayern
This guy just loves big teams with big money that can buy big players. Sensible people like yourself understand that having a successful football club is not only about winning on the pitch but also having the management and infrastructure to develop the next generation.
They disrespect dortmund. Everyone disrespect BvB. While BVB beat AC Milan. Beat Newcastle twice and kicked out of both UCL and UEL (at that time NUFC was at pretty high position in EPL table which is supposed to best league.) I'd say BVB can beat even Arseal (50%/50%) by the fact that Porto managed to win Arsenal at first leg
just here to congratulate you guys, either you win or lose the finals, it was a really great run
Barcelona pretenders? bro!! they won the league last year. what are you on about? also, bayern won't play barca if they won they would play the winner of madrid and city. and xavi is not fired, rather the board is trying to make him change his mind as he was the one that wanted to go.. anyway, you seemed pretty sure when you were talking about barca that you did forget to get your facts right.
Last year and this year ain't the same.
Well apperentaly they was indeed pretenders *cough* 1-4 *cough*
@@christopherkaas6470 if you see beating psg at parc des prince 3-2 and playing the home game with 10 vs 11 from the 30th minutes due to a mistake as pretenders, then u should watch some other sports my dude

Your Barca take…that was personal lol You can say we are bad and that we won’t anything this season, but don’t you ever compare us to Manchester United.
that was just projection tbh bc comparing barça to a team that finished last in their ucl group is wild
@@blondedfc yeah and barca beat psg, this guy is really a clueless american, good thing pedri and frenkie are back
@@footballandsoccerhq idiots 😂😂
If you compare barca with united again i will report you for terrorism
BIG no Dortmund is not who made Haaland ... it was Ole G Solskjaer's Molde who first gave him a chance in Molde for 2 years or so, before going to Austria, and then To Dortmund
Ole tried to sign Haaland to United when he was still a young kid 😢
Barcelona 🤨🤝🗿Dortmund We both are being underestimated. I do believe Dortmund have a chance at knocking out Atletico…but this man made it seem like they are going to get cooked.
Gotta disagree about Barca. They beat Atletico pretty handily in the league twice, and are ahead of them, so they should at least be considered on their level. I don't think they'll win it, but they're also like 10+ games unbeaten atm, and that's with a lot of injuries. They definitely aren't first tier, but are also definitely not last tier.
That plus the winner of psg vs barca almost has the same chance for a final spot as madrid/city cuz of the godly draw.
Athletico is known to be an up and down team in La Liga. Not a big accomplishment.
@spinyslasher6586 sure but what have they done to prove they're better contenders than Barca?
@@johnreidmusicCurrently they're better at knockout football than Barca. Because they: 1) Ranked 1st in the group of death. 2) Knocked out one of the most successful teams in Europe and former UCL runners-up.
@@spinyslasher6586 1) Group of death? Celtic, Feynoord, and Lazio? What? 2) Sure, that's their best claim. But it wasn't like it was a slaughter, getting through on penalties.
rewatching just to see the disparity between the prediction and the actual result
Yeah it's aging like milk.
10:19 If Bayern beat Arsenal they play the winner of Real or City, not PSG Barca
Barcelona in pretender tier is a crime.
They’re gonna get killed by psg be serious 😭
@@asianpablo1574upsets always happen in CL
They're pretty ass this year. The only reason they're in the quarter final is because Napoli decided to implode this season
@@crackjee9301 17 year old “Cubarsi” is gonna have to go up against Mbappe and dembele be serious😂
@@asianpablo1574 mbappe was very quite in today's le classique toh
One thing you had wrong was Atleti playing defensive. The stereotype hasn't been true since a few years now.
i was not expecting to watch this video and have it start with my team getting absolutely roasted lmao
At least it wasn’t as bad as ours…bro called us the Manchester United of La Liga
Given how all the contenders are on the same side of the bracket, I’d say the tier list is flawed.
Man the disrespect ur giving to Barça is insane. Comparing us to Man UTD yet we're second in the league with an 11 game unbeaten streak? Be serious. It's crazy ur praising Atleti more yet we smacked them 3-0 at their own backyard without our best players.
Saying Real has been less than dominant is crazy (1 loss in laliga and champions leaugue combined) and putting Barcalona in pretenders. They are sitting 2nd in one of the top 3 leagues. This guys takes are crazy.
Barcelona aren't good this season, they're just falling upwards in La Liga atm.
@@spinyslasher6586 I know they aren't good but Fat Asian is exagerating it.
I hope Simione wins a UCL before he retires with Atletico
he just might now that his nemesis is in saudi
I'm here after Real Madrid's win😭💯❤️"fuck it we ball tactics work"
I can tell this video was made before the draw. Bayern can't play Barcelona next round, they are on the opposite side of the bracket, they would play Man City or Real Madrid if they beat Arsenal, either that are you are making mistakes due to not researching correctly.
Second because he does know the qf draw which was done at the same time as sf draw
Bro absolutely just violated Kane. That "cant take the spurs out of the player" quote is crazy😭
The Barcelona segment aged well
this guys only knowledge of football outside of england is blue lock and he’s calling barca “the man u of laliga” and yamal “the person who took 30 games to score 4 goals”. I mean he said yamal did well against Brazil which is true but it only shows 1 thing about him, and that thing is that he’s a liar. because he clearly watched that spain brazil match and thought highly of yamal but didn’t watch his 30 games and acts like yamal isn’t adopting people who are double his age at the highest level of football.
As a Dortmund fan, I can say it's kind of a weird year. We've been maybe on one of our worst looking Bundesliga teams we've had in a while, especially since this has been a pretty bad Bundesliga season. Excluding the win against Bayern Yesterday. A lot of the season has been us looking like crap against some of the worst Bundesliga teams, usually not losing the games, but looking horrible in the games, and usually tying or giving up a very winnable game. But then there the champions league, I haven't been able to watch too much of the champions league games for BVB this year due to them going on at a bad time for me, but the ones I can watch that Dortmund team looks like a whole entirely different team. They play amazingly, they actually look like a world class team that can compete against the world's best. I have not clue where that team goes during most of our Bundesliga matches, it's like it just appears in Europe and disappears in the league. It almost feels like night and day watching most of Dortmund's Bundesliga games this season, and just about any of our Champion's League games this season. I wouldn't be surprised if we make the final, but I don't want us to keep Terzic around any longer, nor does any other BVB fan. But if we make a final, not even mentioning winning it which we won't, I'm worried that'll mean we'll have to keep Terzic longer.
100%, and with recent form i dont think atletico madrid will have an easy game with bvb at all
Your writing Barcelona off? They're the favourites to win their side of the bracket because PSG fall apart every time they play some actual opposition. And if Atletico beat Dortmund they’ll play Barca in the semi final and Barca just beat them 3-0 in the league.
Problem with the draws this year is that all the pretenders and sleepers are on one side of the bracket, so one of them is guaranteed to make the finals
Thank you for making this video I smile and laugh through out the whole video and I enjoyed
This video convinced me that this guy doesn't watch football. He's just watching reels and memes
Y'all sleeping on Barça. They aren't here by chance.
They're here solely by chance.
Man you really don't watch half of the teams on here. This is evident by how you talk about RM's current season and last UCL trophy
BARCELONA AS A PRETENDER? WHAT YEAR IS IT: 2024 24 = 2 + 4 2+4 = 6 LA SEXTA ES INEVITABLE
Least schizophrenic Barça fan:
Barcelona a pretender but the team they just smashed in their own stadium is a sleeper no one wants to play? lol, lmao even
I'm gonna save this video just to talk smack if Barcelona proves you wrong😭
Semifinals baby!!!
Barca beat atlético twice yet they’re lower ?
"and Atletico is going to do Borussia like Temari did ten ten" well, more like Shikamaru did Temari lol
Please your videos are amazing 😂every time please make more premier league and football content for the Americans so they understand more and more !! They need some out of the country big hype
Insane hatred for Barcelona. Don't think they are gonna be like man United.
Idk Barca been in great form since Xavi planned to leave
My bro disrespected PSG so hard this season… They still are the favorite to go in the final from their path
Great Video as always man!
Will you please make a video on how American draft, trading, signing and free agents work!
I see people are triggered that Barca are labelled pretenders. They are more likely to lose to PSG than win. Of the eight clubs, Barca and Dortmund are most likely clubs to get knocked out. And that makes them the easiest pretenders.
I would disagree there are pretenders this year. Barca will have a hard time vs PSG. Who knows maybe La remontada repeats
It will still be a hard fight for PSG. Plus if Barça and Atleti were swapped in the draw I bet Atleti would be the pretenders instead.
I actually agree that we probably won’t win the competition, but this man did us way too dirty. I bet that’s why people are mad lol
Can't wait to come to this comment when Barca are in the semi's
@@Yorner97this aged like milk
am i tripping cuz i swear u did a video on this year's superbowl but i cant seem to find it anymore
Absolutely cooked Barcelona wtf 😭😭
Barcelona have higher chances of winning the champions league than atleti. You give too much hate to barca, if you'd actually watch their matches and pay attention to what's happening at the club, this is not the club we saw at the start of the season. The players have found their groove, the entire locker room has this new mentality. Not only are they contenders for the UCL, they still have a chance at laliga. I'm not just being a delusional barca fan, it is obvious that we are in this. "It's time to dream," Xavi said. It is necessary to be delusional. Only dreamers have the ideas to make their dreams a reality. Real Madrid's chances drop to zero when they have to face off against pep. The power of friendship doesn't win matches, and you can't buy good mentalities for your players.
Your forgot about the possibility of Alphonso Davies joining Real Madrid
That fraud got owned by mfing sancho ,he's all speed no defence and skills
Bro hasn’t been watching Raphinha, my guy it’s a wrap again
Raphinha isn't that good, he's just been against pretty bad opponents, Athletico included.
All the teams in Pretenders and Sleepers are in the same bracket, so one of them WILL reach the final, so I think logically some of those teams need to be higher up the list, and some from the other bracket need to be lower down (to account for the probability of them getting through their quarter final matchup)
damn that bgm shift to Haikyu's "above" during Arsenal segment made it so hype @ 11:06
My boy movie research needs to be done. This video has more bad takes some TikTok.
I kind of agree with your take on most teams current status if looked at overall (even with calling Barcelona pretenders, a lot of people are saying they won the league last year but the truth is this year they've been pretty bad, I would have probably put PSG on sleepers though), the thing is, because of the way the bracket ended, one team between the 3 pretenders and the sleeper is actually going to reach the final against one of the "top 4" ones.
He mentions what happened to Real-City 2 seasons ago, but not last season
Nah man your take on PSG is not it lol We currently are building, for real, for the first time in a long time with rookies striving and players like Vitinha getting better and better (even though yeah we still overpaid some players ffs) but we’re FAR FAR FAR from the shitshow we were with Messi & co
Typical American not seeing potential in young talent. He even undervalued the immense talent Barça is producing rn. What PSG and Barça are doing in the youth system is something not many teams can boast about.
You shouldn’t even be here, AC Milan should have finished 2nd but Newcastle were robbed with that penalty decision, you are the pretenders and should have finished 4th in that group
Did bro forget we haven't lost in eleven games ?
Atletico Madrid made the CL final twice but still lost both😂
This champions league QF group It's eh, what is called? Eh its cooking🔥
Barca fans can't laugh at themselves...smh He's just making a funny guide video, get over yourselves!
Real Madrid is also looking at Alphonso Davies expiring contract to lure him over...they are actually playing Fifa Career Mode like a 14 year old kid again. Just buy all the youngest, best rated and highest potetial future superstars and put them together, let them cook for 3-4 seasons and just rake in the silverware.
I really respect starting a video with a tier list and then abandoning it half way through because it’s not necessary
As a Dortmund fan I'm furious, you're right, but I'm still furious
Are you going to do the Copa America since the US is in it?
for reference, xavi is stepping down as barca manager in the summer. He announced this a couple months ago.
“King of the colonizers” 😭😭😭😭😭
I’m about to lose so much money or win a shit load of it because this year Champions League feels even more unpredictable 😂😂 I’m one of those new ManCity fan and even I can tell they’ve lost a bit of steam but they still are sharped clawed animals who can’t be taken lightly.
This guy knows football as well as I know olive oil. I don't know shit about olive oil.

Damnit, that was a fair assessment of Arsenal. After hearing you bag on a few clubs before, I was expecting the worst and had my keyboard warrior fingers ready. But alas.... Fair play.
Xavi is actually leaving next summer, confirmed and signed
This guy didn't do his research

Tbf 4x in a row Prem seems more enticing than the Champions league. Especially with all the power sides on one end of the bracket, just feels like an inevitable lackluster final

thomas tuchel + harry kane are the two most prolific choke artists in world football. so your theory is they what, cancel each other out? theyve got no chance. if they even score against arsenal i will be surprised.
bruh, we know that arsenal scraped past porto but you forget that porto are an extremely solid defensive unit who like to sit back. not all the cl teams play that way. plus bayern are in a terrible run of form and we can rule out arsenal to not get thumped like they used to.
