I think Real Madrid might find world class players time and again, but it will be very difficult to find replacement for Florentino Perez
True 💯
The real goat, Don Florentino Perez
😢Yeah...The time Perez is in Office ...Not even a single Fan of us is worried about anyhting...I think Rafael Nadal will be next
exactly!! last time we had such a gr88 president was santiago bernabeu!!
Ye, when "tito Floren" leaves us... it will be very dark times. We've already experienced (at least me at my 41yo) other presidents like Mendoza, Sanz, Calderón... and they were terrible. Yeah, some of them won titles (Sanz won 2xCL), but economically Real Madrid was ruined with a debt over €600M. And we're not talking€600M of 2024... we're talking about €600M of the late 90s. He always put the club and the team over any player, getting rid of Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ozil, Sergio Ramos... any player that came with threats asking for stupid amounts of money, thinking they were over anything else... well, he showed them the door. I've never seen such a good president, not in Real Madrid, in any other club, and certainly we won't have another Florentino after he's gone. Sad to think about it now. We should show him all the love while we can. Because he deserves it.
Florentino Pérez is the GOATfather
totaly :)
Period!
He’s Papa Perez for a reason
Your father 😂😂😂
Papa Perez legacy is and will forever be untouchable
One thing they forget is that florentino perez has a rule that after 30 the vets take a small salary cut and season by season performance in order to extend their contracts, which i think is a key thing in the team
No pay cut (it was applied only during the pandemic) but only one year contracts so they are not a burden if their performance falls off a cliff.
He learned from the first galáctico era, players like Raúl were destroying the club in their last years because they remained starters for status not performance, now Pérez gets rid of them before its too late and become a problem. Like Ramos and cr7
@@bangoagroupmadrid1 Ramos and cr7 easily starters for Madrid right now
@@bangoagroupmadrid1 if ronaldo was in 2019 Madrid would have won another CL
@@timbaktuu9845 maybe. But thanks to selling CR7 for 100M at age 34, we signed 17 years old Vinicius and Rodrygo and we got rid of the biggest contract pre-pandemic while Barcelona ruined themselves with Messi And Lost the RACE for the two brazilians. They are key to us now
Henry is right, Real Madrid knows when to release legendary players in the squad, Ronaldo, Casemiro, Varane, and who to keep. Modric is 38 y.o, Kroos is 34 and RM keeps renovating their contracts. They are essential mentors to new midfield players like Bellingham, Tchoumeni or Camavinga. It's the reason RM keep winning CL, they know how to transition their squad.
Madrid has won one UCL since 2018. In 2022, Madrid was completely outplayed by PSG and ManCity but they rode on luck and one-man show from Benzema en route to final. Call me jealous but these are facts.
@johnhonai4601 and yall barely one for the first time after years of trying and billion spent and being considered favorites every year for a couple of seasons already
@@johnhonai4601 ur right even by Chelsea any real football fan can see that
Chelsea won vs Bayern was luck Drogba game changing,Spain win world Cup Final by luck after Robben missing 1 on 1's,milan blew a 3-0 lead to let Liverpool come back...this happens in football..its not just purely luck..but in football you definitely need some luck, it's anyone's game on that particular day@@johnhonai4601
@@johnhonai4601 City only outplayed them at Ethiad, at the Bernabeu they were slightly better than City until City scored in the 73rd min and then took over after they scored in the 89th min but yeah Benzema most of all + Modric and Courtois stepped up and saved them many times with moments of magic
Real Madrid got rid off Di Stefano in 1964, and he was the best player in the history of this club. And they won the UCL in 1966, just two years after his departure
And 3 years After Ronaldo left.
Did the same after Cristiano
and went 12 years without winning the ucl after the galacticos era☠️
Di Stefano made what Real Madrid is just like Messi is Barcelona's greatest player and not Cruyff
Di Stefano was 38 at the time, I mean how long would they want to keep him?? same with Modric and Kroos. They should leave tbh.
Henry is right. Mentorship is very important for sustainability and longevity. Kroos and Modric are mentors for the young team, look how Messi suarez and neymar left and never mentored anyone in Barca not Gavi, Pedri Ansu Fati or any of the others, and it shows in their struggles in Barca. That's why Real Madrid have dominated for decades.
Messi sneaked out but Suarez was forced out.
if cr7 stayed he would mentor vini and rodrygo in finishing lol
@andrengo6081 CR7 sorta forced his exit. He wasn't the highest paid, he wanted to be, and Perez didn't want to pay. He left, move on.
Don't forget that God is Real Madrid fanatic.
From 2000-2010 there was hardly any Madrid dominance. Even after that Madrid struggled. Until 2014 when they won the CL with Ancelotti and just kept winning
I remember being so mad at Madrid for getting rid of Ozil...tbh still upset about it 😂😂
We won't understand these decisions from perez but somehow it always turn out to be for the best
Factsss
in perez we trust@@Roman-yv3ye
I was mad when they sold ozil and di Maria but at the same time we got bale, isco who were equally good
Özil had a bad team (advisors, agents) around him. They tried to pressure Perez and Perez shows them the door.

,,I'm not going to name the whole squad" Class recognizes class
Is like building the first global empire on earth, bravery, experience, perfect timing, never giving-up, making hard decisions, never looking back, and always being fair and equal to all.
It's seems funny to me as Madrid used to get bash for "NOT RESPECTING THEIR LEGENDS" for not renewing contracts or not giving fancy farewell..
It’s Barcelona ran propaganda. Now what they thought was good has caught up with them and they’re broke.
In my point of view, farewell is not important, in a way, this footballers are consider workers too, while theres alot of common workers out there are under appreciated and even underpaid. While these footballer earning millions getting recognised by human around the world, no proper farewell wont hurt them at all. Cos at the end of it, class recognise class. Casillas with no farewell party is still consider legend for real madrid.
I also thought about that 😅
Bro said "let them retire on somebody elses pitch"....BARZ😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😅 "You ain't gotta go home but you can't stay here"
Hazard did
I have to say that I’m concerned as a Real Madrid fan. When things start looking too good to be true, this… “super team”, it probably IS too good to be true. I don’t think we’ll be that unstoppable.
stop being modest lol.. we all know Real Madrid is the oldest club and they know exactly how to manage teams and players and money. the club never has a downfall because of Perez and other directors at the top level management. no disrespect to Carlo but cmon, Madrid was never dependent on one person in their whole history, they just keep winning coz they know how. Also this is why I just couldn't vibe with Madrid to become a fan when I starting following football. every clubs has ups and down and its okay. thats how us fans associate an emotion with a club to keep supporting. Im a Barca fan talking good and high about my rival club , but it is what it is.
They are way overrated as it is worst La Liga in 40 years which has exaggerated their quality. The fact a team as weak as Leipzig dominated them over two games and if they had a striker would have scored 4 or 5, I can’t see them beating Man City and maybe losing to Arsenal and Bayern or Inter. I think Mbappe and Davies will make them worse defensively.
@@Delboy0 well we will se about that
vinicius>>>entire man city
@@BhavyaGupta_bhabya Real Madrid have only beat Man City once in 4 years that is 8 games. Where was Vinicius? . Stop watching KZhead highlights and watch actual football Real Madrid are nowhere near the level of Man City. Leipzig created 36 chances against Real Madrid and they are a mediocre team. Real Madrid best hope for an easy draw because they will be eliminated as soon as they player a team with proper forwards.
rather than knowing to let players go, its the players that had been brought in had been outrageously talented. when benzema was planning to go to saudi, they already plotted to bring in mbappe even though vinicious and rodrygo had been outstanding. its actually became easier for real to attract young talented players by pitching the ucl dominance.
The recruitment they do,pick up young Brazilian talent,give them time to develop like Rodyrgo,vinicius and who knew valverde,brahim diaz,from city,to milan and loan,doing well now.Thir scouting and the players they recruit,play their for years.Legendary club
Thierry said it right. Look how calm Madrid were when they had to chase a result against Barcelona. Modric and Kroos, the two old legs, you don't expect them to run like teenagers anymore. What you need from them is continuity and experience. They slow down the game, control the ball movements and poke for cracks in the defense of the opponents. The younger guys are watching and learning, especially Bellingham. Jude is very confident but brashful and egotistic at times. If he watches Modric and Kroos long enough, he'll probably learn how to bring his game up another level or two.
I'm a Madrid fan through and through for all my life!
All the credit goes to one man only Florentino Perez, absolute genius, best president in the history of football. Bringing legendary players from all out the globe.
You forgot now he is recruiting raw talent
modric and Kroos LEGENDS to come back coach Madrid
Remember this is a Real Madrid team transitioning from the departures of Bale, Benzema... and replacing those important pieces little by little, not all at once. This season they had to cope many months without Militao and an entire season without Alaba and Courtois. The next phase will be scary I reckon.
Is great to heard this from a ex barcelona player,so much respect for a Terry and great point of view
It is Thierry not Terry.Thanks
Wow , Henry explains and everyone so engrossed in his explanation, probably didn’t even want him to stop😂😂
I like this young guy güler
Jamie its not Cruz but Kroos
"Kroos won't be far behind him" Kroos is, was & always been better than players like Modric, Xavi & Iniesta . Kroos is one of a kind, no player in history was or is like Toni Kroos & it's kinda sad nobody sees it, they just see him as part of the success, not the reason for it . Everyone will see the impact of Toni Kroos at Real Madrid the day he leaves .
😂😂😂😂😂
Kroos played masterfully vs RB
2:29 Jamie had a very good point there
If you think about it, Madrid bought Ronaldo for €80-€90 million used him for over a decade and go over at five champions league him and then sold him to Juventus for €100million profit and remember they got five champions, leagues, and how many la liga titles out of him . Perez is a genius
The irreplaceable here is Florentino Perez. The mastermind ! All others come and go… once Florentino is gone, we’ll see what happens . He is the real GOAT
Jose Mourinho: "Jamie Carragher talks too much for someone who isn't even among the top 1,000 defenders in football history. How can someone who never won the Premier talk about what it takes to win the Premier.” 🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thx sweetheart ourGod with you efi say ❤
real madrid over two legs yes we didnt play good. but the individual on this team is insane:D ADD ALPHONSO, MBAPPE AND ENDRICK. THE TALENT IS INSANE!! what titi said today coming from him. we lose players that scores 300 goals and also 400 goals. im talking about ronaldo and benzema. we still win CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WITH OUT RONALDO. also the final against liverpool 2022 dear people whom are a premier league fan or barca fan. hate on madrid all u want but the titles says alot of this team and the history! even a legend as thierry henry says this team is good and also how the maage to get rid of top players and still compete for big titles and also win alot without big players. i think galactico 3.0 will be insanely good for 2024/2025 campaign. sure we were not good against leipzig but still make the job to go trhue. dont forget not many teams plays 60 to 70 games per season like rel madrid. we won without benzema being the vital in the final. the journey to the final it was benzema and vini show. we lose players like ronaldo, benzema and much more but we still find a way to build for the new generation. not many teams can do that. in 5 games we have been good in champions league. this two legs against leipzig was the best but in champions league is not always how u play. is how us ave the energy and play stretegic :D real madrid with theese players always find away. people say its luck that real madrid have. 14 champions league titles says another thing. the experience this team got and also building the new generation of talent by using modric and kroos as the veterans. u cant ask for more better legends to learn from. i think we have been good in la liga this year with only 18 goals conceded! the statistic without alaba and militao is insane all alone this season. its talk about real scouting a center back in ligue 1 named leny. young and tall. he reminds of varane. imagine him and militao. i am impressed what i have seen in him. rudiger has stepped up this season witout alaba and militao for a along time. carlo ancelotti makes this team work with alot of injuries. that makes him a good trainer! ! for a while we had 7 players out of injuries nut still won difficul matvhes. thats not look thats experience and also good job with the management of carlo! people forget we have played rudiger and nacho half season and had have more then 36 injuries alone. but at the same time we have been impressive this season. the only team that have beated real madrid is atletico. mbappe will adapt too a 4-4-2 formation with vini on top with him. also play rodrigo in a 4-3-3 Bellingham behind rodrigo,mbappe and vini. when we attack is 4-2-3-1 with mbappe alone up there. ancelotti can put any team or formation we will still win. that makes this team better then all in europe! over two legs we havent been good but still always manage to go true because of this talent in this team. we dont have to play good but if we have the players or in the right place and right time. this team is to much. the history of madrid makes u wanna play in this team. we have more history then many teams out there! we have more success in this squad alone! we have more then 20 champions league titles togethere whom have won ins this current squad. we still are in a growing phase. this squad can learn alot from modric and kroos. the veteranes will show the way for the youngsters. people say varmadrid but they are just jealous of this magnitude of this team. this team alone can dominate europe for 8 years to come. kroos will renew and also modric. they can win 7-8 titles more and will end up with 30 trophies each. the age of this team is soo young! the old galactico with figo, beckham,zidane, ronaldo and also roberto carlos. they didnt won many champions league. its the formula. not always the best players that makes the team unstoppable! right manager and right formula. now we have bellingham,ibrahim, endrick, tchoumeni, camavinga,valverde,nico paz, ardda guler and soon mbappe. we will dominate europe ! we will make the ego mbappe work hard as vini at the defence. carlo manage to make star players work like a unite. people hype city because they won it once. not many team has won it 3 times in row! (champions league) copa de reyes! it means king of europe for a reason! fear madrid ins this years to come. cama and tchoumeni is in the learning phase still. they will play till they aare 30 and still dominate with valverde. put arda guler in the mix aswell! uno,does, trec hala madrid!

Funny how everyone talking about the „old“ Kroos. I mean he is the best player this season together with Bellingham. He is at a level right now where you can’t find a second player worldwide. Bellingham and KDB are there, but they got different roles. Kroos is a big factor at RM. and even Modric with his 38 still got it. Let these two cook
It's not hard to sell players at the right time when you know you are one of only 2 clubs in the world which can attract any player any time as their replacement.
I know today's game wasn't upto the mark obviously it was important and we just wouldn't step up offensively However the attitude of midfield and Lunin sailed us through.. Let's hope for the best..Hala Madrid
I been following since 1996 & they always been heavyweights in #football since 2000, when Luís Figo came on board. #HalaMadrid
From Kroos, Modric and Casemiro to Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchouameni
We didn't get rid of Ozil, Casemiro, CR7, or Varane. They all left for different reasons but no one at the club forced them out of the team. Florentino did an amazing job at replacing them after they were gone plain and simple. Casemiro & Cristiano have both said they knew it was time to try new challenges but really it was also a big $ factor. They made more after leaving and Real succeeded without them regardless
Micah talking about City's experience as if half of the Real Madrid team aren't multi UCL winners or at least just 1 time UCL winners
I respect henry for saying it is easier in the premier league
Zidane for RM President!
These guys just talked about Kronos and modric and made a century long conclusion what the hell
The current rule in the squad is if you are over 30 you will get a contract on year by year basis. Which didnt sit well with Sergio El Capitano Ramos and he left.
Even after he later agree to sign it, they told him the contract as expired
I love Real Madrid
Lucky to be in the draw for the next round. Leipzig finishing was abysmal
Ancelotti is horrible
Look, it can’t be luck if Real does it everytime

@@chaboyaj9189 He said it's our Competition which is literally the truth Real Madrid is the most successful club in ucl history I never said if Madrid would past semis or not because even if they didn't they will still remain the best in ucl
But I think it's not always calculated to have that effect... Some things just happen because Madrid wasn't always dominant until they won la decima which coincided with barcas deterioration. I think pundits tend to dig out more than there's in a situation..
When the biggest fan of a club leads the club's board, it always ends up in the best side for the club. And perez is undoubtedly the biggest madridsta out there
Ramos is the perfect example of this
Don’t think we can get pass MC😢, still missing spark at front need KM next season
Casameiro wanted a new challenge, Madrid wanted him to stay. Ronaldo wanted a new challenge, Madrid wanted him to stay. Varane wanted to leave, Madrid would have been happy with him staying. Benzema wanted a new challenge, Madrid wanted him to stay for at least another season. Henry definitely did not get his facts right. One thing to know is that most of these players leave after they’ve accomplished everything with Madrid because they want a relief from the high pressure on them to achieve everything year after year.
You're totally wrong man, Casemiro feel threatened at the arrival of touchameni, Ronaldo want more pay which Madrid refused, Varane is the only player that want new Challenge, even Sergio Ramos was surprised to hear that the contract brought to him to sign has expiring date, Madrid don't hold you back ones you decide to leave, no matter how of a big name you are......
@@sonofthasoil5275you are ryt. I think da guy above is like a new RM fan
The main thing isn’t then selling players at the right but the players above 30 want a 3 year contracts. They only offer 1 year contracts when you reach a certain age. That’s why the players leave. Ramos was handed a contract offer and when he decided he wanted to stay, they took it back. Casemiro got a 3 year deal with a massive salary at United. Same with Varane. That’s a no brainer. Real Madrid doesn’t let them go. You see Modric and Kronos are still playing. I think they are one of the few players who are okay with short term contracts. That’s a strategy, but I wouldn’t say they get rid of players. Øzil was in his prime when he left Real Madrid. He wasn’t a overages player. I really really like Henry’s insight, but he uses very bad examples and doesn’t always explain the whole context behind things. For him to say they knew when to let Øzil go?😂 Are you serious? They were missing him straight away. Same with Ronaldo. I get his point but it’s about the length of the contract. The players would have still been there if they signed 1 year contracts. Some players want security while others can play with that uncertainty.
On the pitch, only one thing can stop Madrid: the manager. They let go of Casemiro because Tchouameni was there, let go of Ramos because Alaba was coming. Will they let go of Ancelotti when Xabi is the upcoming top manager? I have my doubts, they just renewed Ancelotti for another year...
Ancelotti managed Guttoso, Seedorf, Pirlo, Kaka & Ambrosini in one team... All of these players were happy to play for Ancelotti.. With what's happening at Madrid they Ancelotti for a season to stabilise the ship
Ancelotti is the type of coach who works at Real Madrid. The team has always been built on the quality of its players, and their most successful coaches have not necessarily been strategic or tactical geniuses, but rather human resources managers: Miguel Muñoz, Molowny, Miljanic, Del Bosque, Zidane, Ancelotti. These are individuals who probably wouldn't have been successful elsewhere but fit the needs and requirements of Real Madrid perfectly, like a glove.
@@robert111k Ancelotti, Heynckes and Capello have proved this to be untrue
The time for Özil wasn't there. They shouldn't have let him go. It was premature.
To the detriment of oil and all real fans of football, the sport at the highest level doesn't value his ability 😔
It was the best decision ever. Bale was brought in and finally La Decima came after 3 huge disappointing seasons in the Champions League.
@@simonjrgensen6761 When you look back at history, you dont value what you won, much rather you think back at all the titles you missed out on.
I think Ozil is the one who wanted to leave
@@ayman8545 perez didn't think Özil deserved a high salary so he wanted to leave. Especially Ronaldo was angry at the fact the board didn't feel the need to extend his contract
Any sports organization can benefit from the same strategy. Letting players leave, transferred or traded to make room for talented young players and just keep a few good mentors. Aging stars who cant teach or mentor players lose value. They become a liability with no real benefit to the organization. Its a very steady flow rather than rebuilding abruptly and be in turmoil.
1:35 - They didn’t want to get rid of Casemiro. Madrid wanted him to stay, he wanted to leave and get a big payday and they would get a fee for him they wouldn’t have got after that. The other examples were right though.
Let's rephrase that. Real Madrid didn't plan on him leaving but did not mind it one bit when Man Utd came in with a bid of 70 million euro. That was definitely not expected.
@@simonjrgensen6761especially when we signed Tchouameni in the same window

Keep telling yourself that 😭😂😂
@@simonjrgensen6761 yeah you’re right. Well put
Real Madrid didn't release their top ever scorer Ronaldo, he released himself from them. According to him, it was about the time and when a reporter asked him why he was leaving a club where he was winning everything even at that very time, he said, "life is not always about glory, there's more to life than that". He, probably, was referring to love and appreciation.
Well he did have to leave 115 million euros to leave, so not really a case of hey guys I’m going, bring the cash and go. The day he left his presence on the international scene was over and it was all down hill from then. No player is ever bigger than the club they play for , regardless of the club they play for or player in question

Need some time to digest tht jimmy actually said something good about my club 😂
Thanks for odegaard

❤❤
Yeah i see what you're doing there with the reverse jinx Micah 😂😂 but I respect the hate
I can see the UCL commentators doing a normal job just like before. Also all the social media entertainment really has people distracted. The low effort entertainment system of emerging social media makes it hard for our brains to focus on the hard working things. It's a hard pill to take for everyone in the world.
Toni Kross and Luka Modric are back bone of Real Madrid for winning Champions League
To the contrary. Casemiro wanted to move on, CR7 moved on too not because the club didn't want him. Everything correct but moving on of players isn't really a madrid thing. A lot of players left because of competition. For instance they kept Bale until his contract and injuries took toll on him. They kept a useless Hazard too.
Underrated opinion: PREMIER LEAGUE IS OVERRATTED - Only ManCity and Arsenal left in UCl (arsenal lost 1-0 first legg) - Brighton lost 4-0 to Roma - West Ham lost 1-0 to Freiburg - Aston Villa draw against the worst Ajax in lik 30 years. I’m nit saying the prem is bad. Just way overhyped
The depth in their squad? The first time in many decades doesn't have a clear number 9 the main keeper in injured, the 2 main CB are injured yet they won agains a 100% read man city, why? Because of the winning mentality and discipline, just notice how every player that goes to madrid changes completely in terms of those 2 elements, this is why Real madrid is leagues above the other teams
The only difficulty Real Madrid will face is getting a replacement for Florentino Perez
Everyone keeps saying “super team” but let’s give Flo some credit. It took Rodrygo & Vini 2-3 seasons to get to a level like this. & though there were rough seasons, it never looked THAT bad.
Hazard 😂 be let’s destroy the party
but casemiro has been the best player of man united for the last two years... look at them with /without casemiro on the pitch...
That's the quality of the current man utd squad bro 😂😂... Remember Bruno came in mid season and became the player of the season for many utd😅.. Legit played half season and eas better then any of them
Madrid keeps selling lemons to Man Utd lol
Thierry is wrong about Casemiro, the Brazilian wanted to leave as he felt satisfied with all the achievement he has done. Ancelotti didn't want to sell him and so as Perez. you where sharp Infront of the Goal but not on your facts.
Now everyone fears Madrid 😂
I´m real madrid fan and what says Henry is not right... he assumes Real Madrid managers have a cristal ball to see the future and how players will perform in the future, they dont... what Real Madrid do is to let go out any player who dont want to stay in the team... normally that happens because they got a better offer than what Real Madrid was offering (Casemiro, Varane, Di Maria), OR they got tired to stay at the bench (Isco, Asensio, Kovacic...) which is very good because 1) you only have players that fully want to stay in Real Madrid - 2) Players know if they ever get a super-offer from some other team, Real Madrid is going to let them go easily as longer as the other team offer something reasonable.... also Real Madrid no longer offer long extensions of contract to players older than 30 years old, and start to work based on their last year performance rather than in their expected future performance
It's not the manager lol.. It's Perez that's make the decisions, guess you never give what he actually said... Perez has been running the club this way as always.. Like you said if they bring trouble or their legs started giving up, he will get rid of them regardless of their star power... But the replacement Is where Perez and the scouts shines... While vini is on top of his game now, they still have endrick in the making for the future
@@MetapodUsedHarden9 Florentino dosnt make that many decisions anymore other than the very big signatures... he already learn that lessons the hard way during his first period with the Galacticos... just think for a moment... ¿do you think Florentino knew about Valverde or Camavinga? that was the other people decision to go for those players that nobody knew about
team is beyond players but it was never time for cristiano he is the prince of bernabeu
Ronaldo could've easily played here for 5 more years without a problem. Nevertheless, he's always gonna be the biggest Real Madrid legend and greatest player in history.
He chose money dawg. He chose money.
Ozil was the only one that they mentioned, that left at the wrong time. Not just for Madrid but for Ozil as well. He left just before their ucl dominance. I do wish he left with Di Maria, a year later. Only after, winning the champions league. Ozil went on to win the world cup that year anyway and that's more important and valuable, than the champions league anyway
Man I remember when he left he left just a couple hours before the window transfer ended, and I literally cried like a child when it became official 😂
In different situation, he could win Ballon D’Or
no it's not wrong, they use the money to bought Gareth Bale that won 5 UCL in total since joining Madrid.
@@TheDarkKnightRacist Gareth Bale had 2 and a half maximum 3 good years in Real Madrid.
Bale is a moment player for real Madrid he to inconsistent or not available@@TheDarkKnightRacist
they just got good now and that's thanks to kroos and modric longevity. real madrid STRUGGLED when RONALDO left. it's a fact.. then next season they had benzema step up and everyone playing for him. they still haven't replaced benzema and won't so all this talk is just annoying
Cristiano is the one whose suffering from the moment he left till now.. Madrid is just being Madrid, they will always back on top
Bellingham IS 20 and Vinicius IS 23 mate they are the two top players of this team now
I'm pretty sure they choose their players not only based on football playing but also based on personality background. No Divas allowed since CR7 got away. And even he was a player who would not bring any problem to the dressing room.
the only super-team remaining in the europe @ this moment is man city...while real madrid are not living up to their standards...they barely hung on to that fixture against leipzig
They mean next year after Mbappe come... City become super after they have Haland.
@@bbudimanalqodri mbappe...vini jr...& brahim in the front...lead by bellingham in the middle...that will be a super team
Man City was abysmal against Liverpool as well, so I'd say it's balanced.
I also admire Real as a close follower of both Milanese clubs. Actually, Milan was not that far from real before the 2013-14 season as they had already won their 7th Champions League back in 2006-07. But they are still stuck in this overall for ages, while Real has added another 5 Champions League during this time span. 🫡
UEFA won’t let the Italian teams breathe. You have man city and psg spending billions but the ones that get pressured to sell players are the Italians. I remember when they let Cancelo and HAKIMI go so cheap.. 💀
Serie A clubs were already in financial crisis before covid, and i don't know why they kept failing to attract foreign investor, perhaps it's because their attitude, i mean, why in the world would Saudi invested in Newcastle instead of the likes of Milan, Inter, or Juventus ? something is wrong with the Italian football culture that investors didn't like.
@@TheDarkKnightRacistI think it has a lot to do with the language as well
@@Roman-yv3ye exactly! @TheDarkKnightRacist maybe the language has been the biggest factor in turning the Premier League into a super league. They are enjoying the hegemony globally under the tag of British colonialism.
@@thulunggamwshahary673 English is the most spoken language in the world global fans attract to the things they can relate because they know English they can interact in KZhead channels, Trolling, Memes I think that's also the reason and not everybody speaks Italian . In old times it was easier to compete for Italian teams because their were not many global fanbases .Their was used to be a cycle of dominance by a particular country in order but now that epl is the most followed they get the most money hence other leagues can't compete
Old real team are most power Full 😢 cr7 and other lengend player
How do you get your team in champion league and play like that is beyond me. ( leipzi played bad in their finishes
Let hope it ain't like guti said too many star for attacking no too less player to defend.... I hope mbappe fit in the squad well like his idol....too many cook spoil the broth #halamadrid
Leipzig play well... They deserve to qualify...
They played well but didn't deserve to qualify. They missed so many chances, only have themselves to blame.
I got it...but Ronaldo should have played atleast more 3 seasons ...
he should have accepted his salary at the time then
@@huycao100 the thing is Ronaldo was signed by ramon cauldron not florentino perez so relationship bw perez and Ronaldo has always been rocky.perez wanted bale to be his new superstar but bale disappointed so he was stuck with Ronaldo until Ronaldo decide to leave
His life would have been different if he stayed. Yes he would have won more trophies and individual awards as well. Ronaldo made a bad decision and it cost him a lot.
Madrid need a striker , they miss Benzema , unfortunately Mbappe won’t be there until the summer .
Real madrid unbeatable
Florentino kicked out ,redondo,hierro,del bosque,Raúl,Robben,di María,Ozil,CR7,casillas and Ramos when they were playing good also all of them were feeling unchangeable,Florentino Knows better than anyone else how how this business works
Hazard did retire there
Without any star player real madrid are still the best. They work as a team.
Modric is a bigger player than xavi+iniesta combined. Won ballondor, won 5 ucl, almost took croatia to wc glory and now developing new talent.
cool story bro Xavi + iniesta won world cup
That's disrespectful. They are legends, just like Luka. Chill tf out.
@@prabhubose1504they played for Spain, Modrić play for Croatia. Can you see the difference?
Henry is righ. However i think ronaldo could have play in real madrid at least 3 more years instead of buyin hazard.
There's a 17yo player from Brazil called Riquelme that Florentino is gonna bring too
I dint think hazard is a good example ❤
Why is it so hard to say Kroos for a englishman? It's not Cruise and it's not difficult at all to say
Real Madrid are the pinnacle of world football.
As they call us, football heritage. No club has a richer history and has shown more consistency than madrid.
