The best thing to do is stay away from engagement bait football discussions. Foden can ghost for 3 games straight, score 2 whilst city are 4 up and people give him poty shouts, Saka needs just 1 bad performance before people start that whole limping thing again. The media want a downfall story and will do anything to create one
saka ghosts every big game where was he against BOTH LEGS against porto, after he scored that 1 goal against bayern he played shit for the remainder of the first leg and he was shit in the allianz arena. foden has had some bad games sure, but he is much more of a big game player than foden, real madrid, copenhagen in the ucl when it mattered even if city lost to madrid he was literally named motm
Foden's only real big game performance was against RM and Man u. He has only 4 g/a against the prem top 6 clubs. He is overrated imo. Tbh he is the same level as Saka. Saka is over hated
@@bbbm4715 saka bullied Davies the whole first leg and is the sole reason we got results against spurs Chelsea and City this season alone. I have a paragraphs on Saka in big games and if you wanna continue this I'd be happy to pull it up. Foden has ghosted far more than Saka
The Issue that players like mbappe and haaland are going to face moving forward for a long time is the existence of both Messi and Ronaldo. These 2 freaks of nature have practically ruined the perception of what an elite player is and its kinda raised the expectation bar so high that nothing they do for a while is going to satisfy this post messi and ronaldo era.
The narrative that bothers me the most is that he can’t play as a striker. He has thrived in that position in countless of seasons like the 16/17, 18/19, 20/21 and 22/23 campaigns. The only seasons he has looked questionable as a striker is this season and it’s mostly because he’s unwilling to make runs behind the defence or into the box and he doesn’t show for the ball like he used to. I have no doubt he’ll make the position his own in Madrid
@@stefankatsarov5806 yep most definitely. I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes close to 40 league goals in his 1st season as long as he avoids any injuries
@@ZenbassadorA good Midfield Is so important. Psg ignored that for the past 15 Years and that's why they were never able to fully succeed even in the Ibrahimovic Era. Luckily Real doesn't have that Problem. Camavinga, Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde, Güler, Diaz is a serious Midfield for the Future
@Zenbassador No, that's not happening, I think. 1. He needs to adapt to the physicality of La Liga, something he almost never experienced apart from the UCL. 2. Opponents. La Liga teams won't make half their defenders chase someone to create space like in Ligue 1. I think he'll have the same first season like Haaland, though I think he'll score more. This excites me, now that Haaland and Mbappe are in comparable leagues, we're finally going to see whether Mbappe can cook against good teams week in week out, or it just a fraud that was made to look good by Ligue 1. Haaland proved he could, and I don't doubt Mbappe can either.
@@SemmeralddynamicsBaammy with all due respect to La Liga but that league isn’t more difficult than ligue 1 and it certainly isn’t more physical. Mbappe’s record against Spanish clubs are great too, I think he has 12 goals in 10 games against some of the best clubs in Spain so he won’t struggle against Sevilla, Mallorca and them guys
The biggest loser in that PSG team is Al-Khelaifi who has spent millions after millions and not created a better team than Dortmund who had spent pebbles in comparison
You can’t necessarily say bvb is better than psg over the 2 legs psg were really unlucky not to convert. If that tie got played 10 times psg would probably win 8 times, with the ucl it’s KO football so anyone can get lucky and win. Madrid weren’t better than city yet they went through
Let's share the inconsistency joke for a minute with Kylian Mbappe; His DEBUT season 16/17 in Career- 7th in the balon d'or dor 2017 2018- 4th on balon d'or 2019- 6th on balon d'or 2020- COVID 2021- 9th on balon d'or 2022- 6th on balon d'or 2023- 3rd on balon d'or But sure 🤡🫵🏼😂 he is inconsistent!
@@user-op6kt8pg9y regardless, rankings are all in the top 10 from his debut season, how many players have ranked in the top 10 from the very start of their career for 7 years straight. Look at his goals and assists as well.. average of 40 goals a season and 10 assists every season, that is consistency
The funny thing is, he's still been the best UCL player this season, even if Vinicius does well in the final there's still a general case for him being the best. It's not like he was bad against Dortmund too, both legs he was above average imho.
chance creation (which is what Messi fans always praised Messi for in big games), +good goal threat, it definitely wasn't a pathetic showing, especially against an elite backline and defensive-orientated manager which is great for cup competitions.
@@helenhua2970He was terrible vs Barcelona in both legs. Dispute his goals (which were a penalty and a tap in) he was okay vs dourtmound. (Had good crosses in the second leg but was extremely wasteful) Vini was good vs RB (6.5 in first leg 7.3 in second leg and these are my personal ratings) was good vs man city (he was practically involved in all of our goals and was playing out of position he was a 7.5 in the first leg and a 7 in the second. Vs Bayren he was world class even out of position he was a 8.5 in the first leg and in the second he was again a 8.5. Vini faced tougher competition and single handlely sometimes from an attacking standpoint carried Real Madrid. He was the one who wanted the ball all the time he was the one who made things happen. And most importantly he wasn't as wasteful as mbappe in my opinion.
@@galaxyknight7309I think vini is way better this season as well. Madrid has faced much harder teams and vini has shined a lot more. Is vini better than mbappe? Probably not, but this season in the ucl he has been.
these football fans bruh , these mfs are probably the most reactionary people on the planet, Onana was damn neer the best goalkeeper on the planet when utd bought him and football fans with their hindsight bias said it was a stupid transfer, there is no hope for the community to become fair with the existence of tweeter tbh
Onana also hasn’t even been terrible. Made a buncha mistakes in the UCL don’t get me wrong but he’s been facing a million shots a game in the Prem, it’s literally Ten Hag’s fault and the injuries in their backline+Casemiro being a fossil doesn’t help
Yo, found your channel recently. Love to hear someone from the states produce quality vids on football. It's only a matter of time for your channel to blow up. Good work dawg.
Wish more of these goldfish attention span kids watched actual games and longer form videos like this. These reactionary takes are people who watch tiktoks & base their ball knowledge on memes instead of just letting out a lil nose exhale like the rest of us. As always the vids are fire, hope to see the channel get the recognition it deserves soon.
I was just waiting to hear Zidane's name. Honestly, that's the reason I don't get why Mbappé is bashed. Neymar faced such criticisms as well but he was really great.
You were actually spitting in this video, I still think there isn’t a clearly defined “best player in the world” but a lot of elite players who could have a standout season. Also a lot of football fans are heavily reactionary and will change their opinion over one game 😭
Football fans nowadays seriously think that players are machines...Guys learn to appreciate the game...The people who have played football will know how much impact a single goal has on a game even if it's most stupid tap in u have ever seen...as a forward u are playing against another player who also has a brain , sometimes ur trick just don't work against them, it has nothing to do with ur salary....yeah money can buy u good players sure, but that's where the competition start..if PSG don't offer more money than other leagues why would good players stay there just to play in farmers league? Even consistently getting top 8 in CL is a good result for a team in farmers league right..
Exactly. I understand people hating on teams who have money since their team doesnt, but PSG are forced to overbuy for their players because noone will go to France. Also what about the rest of the french teams, they arent spending money since they have non and are shit in the UCL ( and not that amazing in the other competitions either ).
As a Barcelona fan, gotta hard disagree with Mbappe as best ITW right now. On pure potential? I could see it, maybe. But what has Mbappe done since the WC to put but above Vincius, for example? Man turns up EVERY single week, and yeah you could say “he’s at Madrid lol” but Mbappe is on France, and lets be serious about that team compared to other NTS. Also, we have seen - MANY TIMES - teams keep Mbappe quiet for essentially entire 90s. There is no reason for him to not have scored v PSG (Hummels was great, but Mbappe finishing left things to be desired - also is very selfish and had an INCREDIBLE BCM number when playing with Messi). Vini shows up and shows out essentially every game, regardless of who he is facing, playing in basically the closest position to where Mbappe is. I can’t see it, ami, truly. Nonetheless I do agree ENTIRELY with the argument in general that players are too scrutinized and people love removing context from imperfect performances. That conversation about Zidane needs to be woken up lmao….
The thing about Ayers of the past is that if you remember them for being good players then you probably have heard only about their good moments and not their bad
Imo Mbappe was allways kind of overrated in big games, not in france of course but he never really caried Psg against a big Team in the Ucl, he had one Performance over 2 legs against Real Madrid where he really shined and that one game against Bayern in 2021 but I don't really remember anything else where he made the biggest impact against a big Team, he isn't much more of a big game Player than Haaland if we go by club but I don't think it's because of him, I think it's because Psg is just ass, Im sure that as soon as he comes to Madrid he is gonna become the best big game player in the world because he will have a good System and a good team like he has at france. I still agree with nearly all of the things you said in the video
The thing is Mbappe like many players need a great support system - it’s why Vini pull up his best with Madrid’s but chokes the moment he steps in Brazil due to it not fully being put together right now . PSG is simply not up to par with most of the best.
Lets face it. He will go to Madrid probably win alot even the UCL play really well, win at least one Balon'dor and everyone will remember him positivley. He might even win another world cup who knows.
You are speaking facts! Also, mbappe shows up in big games (world cup finals) and he is relatively highly consistent. I think you cant blame Mbappé for being inconsistent if he has a bad game from time to time, lets remember that mbappe like any other great players have crazy pressure. Also i think Mbappé having some bad games has to do with alot of different Things and factors which people need to remember imo. Not saying Mbappe is unqualified to criticism but like other players he needs the support like others. But yeah, either way i think mbapp is a beast and probably the best in the World. Also people need to remember his not only a speed merchant. Two seaspns ago he had like 15+ asissts plus he is a wc dribbler imo. Maybe mbappe is not on messi level in terms of dribbling and playmaking but he is for sure a world class dribbler and a great playmaker imo. Will be interesting to see how mbappe will improve in terms of the creative aspect aswell, at Real Madrid . Anyways great video and all the best to you and kylian!😊❤⚽🤙
yes right now for the past 2-3 weeks its been vini, at the start of the year it was jude, and in the middle of the season it was safe to say it was between mbappe and kane. Nobody stays consistent through an entire season for every game, not even messi and ronaldo, whove had quite a few sub par champions league exits themselves.
He needs to play in a real club, psg being ran like a 12 y olds career mode save is hard to take serious, at least at this time, maybe given 20 years and more unlimited money... Maybe...
when you think of the best player this generation. mbappe is the first to come to mind. not haaland, vini, pedri, or Bellingham. its just unfortunate he plays for a bad team
A lot of people will look back at Kylian Mbappe’s career at PSG and bring up the fact that he’s scored over 250+ goals for the club without winning the champions league despite playing with Messi and Neymar. His stats speak for itself with over 300+ goals in his career for club and country, he’s a World Cup winner, he’s won everything domestically and has already played in 2 World Cup finals one of them in which he scored a hat trick in, but he’s missing that one trophy which is the champions league and he’s 25 years old and also has still not won the Ballon Dor. Many people see him as a failure at PSG, but I’m divided on his time there and I don’t think he failed there, you have to have a balanced perspective and constructive criticism towards him. For any player to average a G/A a game for a single club at the age of 25 and still be considered as a failure, it tells you how high he has set the bar and on paper that’s very impressive. I know most of his goals and assists came in Ligue 1, but realistically, how many players have been putting up those numbers in the last 5-6 seasons. He is obviously a world class player and if only people watched him for a full season rather than just judge him off of 2-3 important champions league games. If you’re a person who looks solely at individual brilliance without looking at who wins more trophies in a season you can see that nobody can rival Kylian Mbappe from a talent perspective including Erling Haaland Jude Bellingham Vinicius Junior Harry Kane Phil Foden etc. . Unfortunately, nobody watches PSG because fans don’t care about winning Ligue 1 since they do it every year when you’re a superstar playing for PSG it’s difficult because your legacy there is defined off of just the champions league and whether you win it or not. He never won the champions league at PSG and due to him getting knocked out by Borussia Dortmund him getting to just 1 final in 7 years, people are pushing an agenda that he’s overrated he doesn’t show up in big games he needs Madrid more than they need him and he can’t be the best player in the world. The same people who think he’s overrated are the same ones who don’t even watch him or PSG on a weekly basis and just judge him off of UCL games. He’s has some big games where he’s not produced when it matters the most 2019- Manchester United 2nd leg or RD of 16, 2020- Bayern Munich in the final, 2021- first leg against Manchester City even after a brace and hat trick against Bayern Munich and Barcelona respectively ghosted in the 2nd leg, 2023- RD of 16 against Bayern Munich, 2024- Barcelona and Dortmund in both legs. That’s an issue especially since he’s a superstar and in some sense he shares a bit of blame for PSG’s shortcomings in the champions league, but it’s not entirely his fault. People expect them to win the UCL since they had Mbappe Messi and Neymar on the same team and it was a squad full of individuals, but talent alone doesn’t guarantee you the champions league because you can have great players, without a team it won’t work out and that’s what we saw at PSG and anyone with ball knowledge should know that with them on the same team they never had a chance to win the champions league. He’s been playing on such a weak team with a decent goalkeeper leaky defense and an ok midfield that has a 17 year old as their most important midfielder. He is their only world class player and with both of them gone, even he couldn’t take them all the way in Europe. No individual has single handedly carried a team to a champions league title not even Messi or Ronaldo. In general, the PSG project has failed filling the squad with superstars didn’t work out you’re about to lose your front 3 in a span of a year and after Mbappe leaves, I don’t see PSG ever winning a champions league title in the future. From Mbappe’s perspective with him going to Real Madrid he’s doing a KD all over again joining the team that just won the UCL a trophy that you’ve yet to win in your career, he needs champions league titles in order to cement his legacy and be a footballing great he knows that he can’t waste his peak in Ligue 1 because he stayed at PSG for way too long and a move to La Liga is great for his brand and image and he’ll exactly get more exposure in a much tougher league. I hope he wins champions leagues and a Ballon Dor because he’s 25 years old meaning that he still has much more to achieve and putting him on a proper squad will allow him to actually fulfill his true potential which is why his move to Real Madrid makes a lot of sense even if they don’t need him.
The Spanish league is the only place to win the ballon dors. It’s the only place for a player to be considered in the goat conversations. None of the other leagues have that massive pr that the Spanish league has.
he ain't the best player in the world, like you said in the end rodri is, bro when you said that there is only one player that is amazing week in week out on the planet and that player was rodri i got so happy finally some respect on this guy's name.
i think the big point, or the rational kernel is a question like: "is mbappe really better than vini jr? not to mention vini has youth on him at this point. Mbappe has rounded aspects of his game like his crossing, but overall vini probably has a higher cieling.
Tbh, he is a player who can cover bad performances with fugazi goals. He has lots of potential but its a shame that he hasnt eon s european golden shoe whikd playing in Ligue 1. Henry won 2 from the EPL at its peak
Real Madrid have one of the best fitness coaches in the world, also one of the best coaches than can get the best out of his players (Ancelotti) just look at players like Vini and Rodrygo We will see an incredible version of him next season
Its simple, people have too many high expectations, they forgot that this is a team game, messi and ronaldo had players like bale, modric, kroos, ramos, casemiro, puyol, villa, iniesta, xavi, busquets, henry, ronaldinho, deco etc, around them while they were winning. PSG is not on that level, and has never been on that level even when they had both messi and neymar.
I know mbappe is gonna wreck la liga, i just dont know where hes gonna play, and as for now i think mbappe needs real madrid more than the other way around, does not mean i dont think of mbappe as the best player in the world at his peak, because he is, even with what vini is doing now i still think when everyone is playing at their best, mbappe is by a bit the most threatening, terrifying and most dangerous player on the pitch.
I’d like to make it clear, that this new generation (post 2010s) are not in any way better individually than any top player from the 2010s or 2000s. Mbappe and Haaland are supposed to be taking over the top spots from Ronaldo and Messi, yet they are way worse against top players and teams. Yeah there’s some situations where you can say: “well look at this:” Mbappe is 25. You know that Messi and Ronaldo we’re definitely in their primes at that age. Ofc they were good long into their 30s, but Mbappe really shows no signs of what they are doing.
Messi and Ronaldo where better than the ones before them too. They are a big exception. Compare Mbappe to the people around Messi and Ronaldo or to the guys before them and he fits in.
As a Real Madrid fan , my main problem with Mbappe is not his inconsistency or his ego ( Carlo will most probably deal with that ) + If he joins and ruins a potentially UCL winning dressing room and La Liga winning one all fingers will point at him anyways , my problem with him is that he is one of the worst attackers in the world in terms of defensive contribution and that puts a lot of stress on the team off the ball and will have a lot of different effects mainly longer stretches of the team struggling to gain possession if the ball got to the other team , also it spreads off the work load of 1 player who is not defending to the rest of the team so the team get tired faster throughout the game , i get it he is the best player in the world and probably talking like that on a free player is a luxury that no fan in the world have the privilege too so i think he will surely be a net positive on the team but i have my concerns that will make me on the lookout for him once he starts playing for us .
Will see when he has a midfield behind him. PSG have no midfield or dna. Now imagine vini jnr, rodrygo and mbappe dragging defenders away from each other. Then killing teams with pace. With Jude sitting just behind them.. Think it’s different gravy
I think it’s fine to tax Zidane due to inconsistency. I’ve gone back and watched league campaigns of great players (when there’s enough film, so 1970’s+) and Zidane was very inconsistent. He’s one of the guys who I’ve watched the most full matches of and when looking at all time great players since 1970, he’s actually as inconsistent as it gets. There are a handful of all time greats that were regularly phenomenal, especially compared to Zizou. Those include Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maldini, R9 (pre injury only), Platini, Zico, Baresi, Romário, van Basten, Matthäus, and many many others. Sure, like you said, they weren’t great literally every week but they were all notably more consistent than Zidane. Mbappé is also a fair bit more consistent than Zidane and I’ll be interested to see if that continues in Spain. Consistency is a key attribute when defining someone’s greatness, but I do acknowledge that most other people are not going back and watching old matches to actually gauge what it looks like. But holy shit good cooking with the Rodri take.
Also did you get into football 2ish years ago and you made tiktoks tracking your journey? Like watching old Arsenal campaigns for example. I saw someone do that and I think I recognize your voice. If that was you I think it’s great how far your ball knowledge has come since then bro.
@@B1izzardd yessir, I was the most casual of casuals before dat. Didn’t watch much at all and only watched the major stuff wit my mom cuz she was a huge fan. Decided to actually take it seriously and started watching old players
@@mandafrombknah man I remember watching and thinking you were gonna get pretty knowledgeable from the takes you were giving even when you had only just begun watching. You were cooking back then too
2 bad matchups and hes instantly overrated. mbappe is the best in the world, if you dont think so youre letting the media get the best of your opinion by folowing their agenda.
But tbh the last Mbappe WC campaign was a bit overrated, I mean except the finals, he literally statpadded against in the previous stages, but yeah Mbappe is not a fraud in any sense, and yeah he is closest to anyone we can call the best player in the world rn.
Mbappe was completely bad against barca. He was never getting anywhere. Stats don't show u that, watching games do. He got lucky with a penalty and a taping but besides that he ghosted in both the legs. Even against Argentina in the final which u claimed he played well because he scored a hat-trick, u forget he was also completely shut down for the entirety of first 60-65 minutes. Only when Griezmann got subbed off and Kingsley Coman and Camavinga got subbed in and when the Argentine defense got fatigued, was Mbappe able to snatch a hat-trick (2 of them being penalties) . So the "big game player " argument in favour of Mbappe makes sense only if u look at stats. If u watch the game, then u will see how horrible he is when he plays against experienced or even above average teams
Dude, it's not about to be good every week and it's not about to be bad in one game. Mbappe is playing on PSG. So there's only two competition he could show that he is the best: ucl and euros. It doesn't matter how good he seems to be on League One. That competition it's not a worthy parameter to choose the best player in the world. In the last 4 games on ucl he didn't enough and his team was eliminated. He still have one chance. If he didn't show up with France, he can't be the best of this season. Simple as that.
@@roleoahotondji54 well, 23/24 season cards are all on the table. He shouldn't be nominated. But he will have a great chance this season. He's talented enough. Let's see what will happen to "galaticos 3.0"
Nah, dude. Mbappe isn't the best player in the world at the moment (for the 23/24 season), Vini had a better season than him. Mbappe is a good player, and it's not that he isn't consistent, he is. But he hasn't performed well against a really good team since a long time now, and if you actually watch him play repeatitively, you will see he hasn't been really the same since after the world cup. You talk about the Dortmund game as if he was good against Barça... He was far from being the best player against Barça in quarter final and it was the same against Dortmund. How many big games has to pass before we start judging a player? We can't just keep bringing up his past performances (2022 and before) to dismiss any criticism. Mbappe's overall game isn't as good as before; he isn't as dangerous as he was with the ball at his feets. The fact all the highlights (or even the performances) you showed in the video are from pre-2022 is a testament of that. I hope for him he could find his best form at Marid, but the criticisms he has received are completely justified.
The difference is that al though Ronaldo and Messi may have bad performances, they show up when the team needs them in big games.. unlike Mbappe who just disappears every goddamn time, when has he ever bailed out PSG in the past couple of Champions League seasons?? typical western "soccer fans" just found out about football since the recent world cup and thinks their shitty opinion hold significance
Not even gonna watch your video. It's incredibly click baity and disrespectful. Imma break down why Mbappe is not as consistent as he was for most of this season. Ever since Mbappe announced to the PSG dressing room in February he has not been the same outside of France. You see it in every international game outside of Real Sociedad (they were easy tbh) that he has reached a plateau, he isn't as confident and concentrated (with everything going around in the background, plus his abysmal relationship w/ Nasser), and he has become the most loved/hated footballer on the planet. Granted the hate is partially due to his poor decision making when pressured but when the political big wigs of French football and the French government come to you as a fellow French citizen, and gaslight you into staying for their benefit (not yours), and then give you 3 trucks worth of money, as a 23 year old..... its hard making the right decisions. All Mbappe needs is to regain his confidence back and be in a team that not only needs him but wants him. Which Madrid do. And yes for the kind of domination Madrid want (treble, domestic domination) for the next 5 years, Mbappe is needed. No doubt. No need to watch this stupid video. Just know football and the players.
You still have time to delete this bro 😂 I understand your points but if your believe the ppl who are saying he’s a fraud that’s your problem. Your listen to ppl you shouldn’t but the fact is HE ISNT THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. Key words “right now” you even mentioned it in the video… vini had the Same struggles mabappe did and he was able to adapt. If Mbappe is the best he should too, simple as that. vini is the best player in the world right now and this video felt more like a “let me show why vini isn’t the best player in the world” instead of “why I think Mbappe isn’t a fraud” my boy Rodri for ballon dor 😂 he’s amazing but he got eliminated and there are so many other candidates. Idk bro just kinda seems like you hating and tryna cover it up with “Mbappe support”
Does attitude have anything to do with footballing ability? It doesn’t. I highly doubt that is true because most of these comments come from PSG. It’s the only club that seems to have this kind of drama.
Well I guess Europeans are the only ones capable of talking about football. Reminder that some of the best footballers have come from the Americas which is particularly from the south.

But sure 🤡🫵🏼😂 he is inconsistent!
Twitter is full of clowns bro😂😂
@@Neohacnort It sure is
You're using ballon d'Or rankings? The rankings where majority of the vote is decided by journalists?
@@user-op6kt8pg9y regardless, rankings are all in the top 10 from his debut season, how many players have ranked in the top 10 from the very start of their career for 7 years straight. Look at his goals and assists as well.. average of 40 goals a season and 10 assists every season, that is consistency
@user-op6kt8pg9y No way you actually think he's inconsistent, when he's been the best player ITW since 2021........
The funny thing is, he's still been the best UCL player this season, even if Vinicius does well in the final there's still a general case for him being the best. It's not like he was bad against Dortmund too, both legs he was above average imho.
chance creation (which is what Messi fans always praised Messi for in big games), +good goal threat, it definitely wasn't a pathetic showing, especially against an elite backline and defensive-orientated manager which is great for cup competitions.
@@helenhua2970He was terrible vs Barcelona in both legs. Dispute his goals (which were a penalty and a tap in) he was okay vs dourtmound. (Had good crosses in the second leg but was extremely wasteful)
Vini was good vs RB (6.5 in first leg 7.3 in second leg and these are my personal ratings) was good vs man city (he was practically involved in all of our goals and was playing out of position he was a 7.5 in the first leg and a 7 in the second. Vs Bayren he was world class even out of position he was a 8.5 in the first leg and in the second he was again a 8.5. Vini faced tougher competition and single handlely sometimes from an attacking standpoint carried Real Madrid. He was the one who wanted the ball all the time he was the one who made things happen. And most importantly he wasn't as wasteful as mbappe in my opinion.
@@galaxyknight7309I think vini is way better this season as well. Madrid has faced much harder teams and vini has shined a lot more. Is vini better than mbappe? Probably not, but this season in the ucl he has been.
@@leonmarquws The thing with vini that is do exciting is that he still has another level to reach finishing wise.
Vini definitely been better in the Champions League. He was destroying Bayern on the wing the other day.
these football fans bruh , these mfs are probably the most reactionary people on the planet, Onana was damn neer the best goalkeeper on the planet when utd bought him and football fans with their hindsight bias said it was a stupid transfer, there is no hope for the community to become fair with the existence of tweeter tbh
Onana also hasn’t even been terrible. Made a buncha mistakes in the UCL don’t get me wrong but he’s been facing a million shots a game in the Prem, it’s literally Ten Hag’s fault and the injuries in their backline+Casemiro being a fossil doesn’t help
@@mandafrombk So true my guy, I'm honestly glad Onana is improving and he has a positive attitude even though I am not a yanited fan
For anyone that really thought Onana was better GK than Courtois for example, is simply r*tarded.
Yo, found your channel recently. Love to hear someone from the states produce quality vids on football. It's only a matter of time for your channel to blow up. Good work dawg.
Wish more of these goldfish attention span kids watched actual games and longer form videos like this. These reactionary takes are people who watch tiktoks & base their ball knowledge on memes instead of just letting out a lil nose exhale like the rest of us. As always the vids are fire, hope to see the channel get the recognition it deserves soon.
totally
Absolutely agree with the takes in this video. Mbappe is still an elite player but I think right now, Vini Jnr is the best in the world.
I was just waiting to hear Zidane's name.
Honestly, that's the reason I don't get why Mbappé is bashed. Neymar faced such criticisms as well but he was really great.
You were actually spitting in this video, I still think there isn’t a clearly defined “best player in the world” but a lot of elite players who could have a standout season. Also a lot of football fans are heavily reactionary and will change their opinion over one game 😭
One of the most level headed, balanced, unbiased, and well rounded breakdown videos I've seen - subscribed!!
Football fans nowadays seriously think that players are machines...Guys learn to appreciate the game...The people who have played football will know how much impact a single goal has on a game even if it's most stupid tap in u have ever seen...as a forward u are playing against another player who also has a brain , sometimes ur trick just don't work against them, it has nothing to do with ur salary....yeah money can buy u good players sure, but that's where the competition start..if PSG don't offer more money than other leagues why would good players stay there just to play in farmers league? Even consistently getting top 8 in CL is a good result for a team in farmers league right..
Exactly.
I understand people hating on teams who have money since their team doesnt, but PSG are forced to overbuy for their players because noone will go to France.
Also what about the rest of the french teams, they arent spending money since they have non and are shit in the UCL ( and not that amazing in the other competitions either ).
As a Barcelona fan, gotta hard disagree with Mbappe as best ITW right now. On pure potential? I could see it, maybe.
But what has Mbappe done since the WC to put but above Vincius, for example? Man turns up EVERY single week, and yeah you could say “he’s at Madrid lol” but Mbappe is on France, and lets be serious about that team compared to other NTS. Also, we have seen - MANY TIMES - teams keep Mbappe quiet for essentially entire 90s. There is no reason for him to not have scored v PSG (Hummels was great, but Mbappe finishing left things to be desired - also is very selfish and had an INCREDIBLE BCM number when playing with Messi).
Vini shows up and shows out essentially every game, regardless of who he is facing, playing in basically the closest position to where Mbappe is. I can’t see it, ami, truly.
Nonetheless I do agree ENTIRELY with the argument in general that players are too scrutinized and people love removing context from imperfect performances. That conversation about Zidane needs to be woken up lmao….
The thing about Ayers of the past is that if you remember them for being good players then you probably have heard only about their good moments and not their bad
Imo Mbappe was allways kind of overrated in big games, not in france of course but he never really caried Psg against a big Team in the Ucl, he had one Performance over 2 legs against Real Madrid where he really shined and that one game against Bayern in 2021 but I don't really remember anything else where he made the biggest impact against a big Team, he isn't much more of a big game Player than Haaland if we go by club but I don't think it's because of him, I think it's because Psg is just ass, Im sure that as soon as he comes to Madrid he is gonna become the best big game player in the world because he will have a good System and a good team like he has at france. I still agree with nearly all of the things you said in the video
The thing is Mbappe like many players need a great support system - it’s why Vini pull up his best with Madrid’s but chokes the moment he steps in Brazil due to it not fully being put together right now . PSG is simply not up to par with most of the best.
6:54, Bro kept in the voice crack😭
🤷🏾🤷🏾 Aye it happens to all of us, I was too lazy to edit it out 😭
Lets face it.
He will go to Madrid probably win alot even the UCL play really well, win at least one Balon'dor and everyone will remember him positivley.
He might even win another world cup who knows.
You are speaking facts! Also, mbappe shows up in big games (world cup finals) and he is relatively highly consistent. I think you cant blame Mbappé for being inconsistent if he has a bad game from time to time, lets remember that mbappe like any other great players have crazy pressure. Also i think Mbappé having some bad games has to do with alot of different Things and factors which people need to remember imo. Not saying Mbappe is unqualified to criticism but like other players he needs the support like others. But yeah, either way i think mbapp is a beast and probably the best in the World. Also people need to remember his not only a speed merchant. Two seaspns ago he had like 15+ asissts plus he is a wc dribbler imo. Maybe mbappe is not on messi level in terms of dribbling and playmaking but he is for sure a world class dribbler and a great playmaker imo. Will be interesting to see how mbappe will improve in terms of the creative aspect aswell, at Real Madrid . Anyways great video and all the best to you and kylian!😊❤⚽🤙
Like the vibe of your videos a lot. Keep grinding bro. Love seeing other Americans who love el juego bonito
🫡🫡🫡
Dosen’t change that Vini jr is the best player right now .
yes right now for the past 2-3 weeks its been vini, at the start of the year it was jude, and in the middle of the season it was safe to say it was between mbappe and kane. Nobody stays consistent through an entire season for every game, not even messi and ronaldo, whove had quite a few sub par champions league exits themselves.
In as much as I love Vini and love watching him dribble. I don’t think he is better than Mbappe. However, I think Vini is red hot right now.
@@thetruthsayer8347100%.

@@Richard-ks5fg what do you mean skilled?
He needs to play in a real club, psg being ran like a 12 y olds career mode save is hard to take serious, at least at this time, maybe given 20 years and more unlimited money... Maybe...
when you think of the best player this generation. mbappe is the first to come to mind. not haaland, vini, pedri, or Bellingham. its just unfortunate he plays for a bad team
Hes a good player. One of the best. But the one goal in 8 semi/ finals games cannot be ignored.
A lot of people will look back at Kylian Mbappe’s career at PSG and bring up the fact that he’s scored over 250+ goals for the club without winning the champions league despite playing with Messi and Neymar. His stats speak for itself with over 300+ goals in his career for club and country, he’s a World Cup winner, he’s won everything domestically and has already played in 2 World Cup finals one of them in which he scored a hat trick in, but he’s missing that one trophy which is the champions league and he’s 25 years old and also has still not won the Ballon Dor. Many people see him as a failure at PSG, but I’m divided on his time there and I don’t think he failed there, you have to have a balanced perspective and constructive criticism towards him.
For any player to average a G/A a game for a single club at the age of 25 and still be considered as a failure, it tells you how high he has set the bar and on paper that’s very impressive. I know most of his goals and assists came in Ligue 1, but realistically, how many players have been putting up those numbers in the last 5-6 seasons. He is obviously a world class player and if only people watched him for a full season rather than just judge him off of 2-3 important champions league games. If you’re a person who looks solely at individual brilliance without looking at who wins more trophies in a season you can see that nobody can rival Kylian Mbappe from a talent perspective including Erling Haaland Jude Bellingham Vinicius Junior Harry Kane Phil Foden etc. . Unfortunately, nobody watches PSG because fans don’t care about winning Ligue 1 since they do it every year when you’re a superstar playing for PSG it’s difficult because your legacy there is defined off of just the champions league and whether you win it or not. He never won the champions league at PSG and due to him getting knocked out by Borussia Dortmund him getting to just 1 final in 7 years, people are pushing an agenda that he’s overrated he doesn’t show up in big games he needs Madrid more than they need him and he can’t be the best player in the world. The same people who think he’s overrated are the same ones who don’t even watch him or PSG on a weekly basis and just judge him off of UCL games. He’s has some big games where he’s not produced when it matters the most 2019- Manchester United 2nd leg or RD of 16, 2020- Bayern Munich in the final, 2021- first leg against Manchester City even after a brace and hat trick against Bayern Munich and Barcelona respectively ghosted in the 2nd leg, 2023- RD of 16 against Bayern Munich, 2024- Barcelona and Dortmund in both legs. That’s an issue especially since he’s a superstar and in some sense he shares a bit of blame for PSG’s shortcomings in the champions league, but it’s not entirely his fault. People expect them to win the UCL since they had Mbappe Messi and Neymar on the same team and it was a squad full of individuals, but talent alone doesn’t guarantee you the champions league because you can have great players, without a team it won’t work out and that’s what we saw at PSG and anyone with ball knowledge should know that with them on the same team they never had a chance to win the champions league. He’s been playing on such a weak team with a decent goalkeeper leaky defense and an ok midfield that has a 17 year old as their most important midfielder. He is their only world class player and with both of them gone, even he couldn’t take them all the way in Europe. No individual has single handedly carried a team to a champions league title not even Messi or Ronaldo. In general, the PSG project has failed filling the squad with superstars didn’t work out you’re about to lose your front 3 in a span of a year and after Mbappe leaves, I don’t see PSG ever winning a champions league title in the future. From Mbappe’s perspective with him going to Real Madrid he’s doing a KD all over again joining the team that just won the UCL a trophy that you’ve yet to win in your career, he needs champions league titles in order to cement his legacy and be a footballing great he knows that he can’t waste his peak in Ligue 1 because he stayed at PSG for way too long and a move to La Liga is great for his brand and image and he’ll exactly get more exposure in a much tougher league. I hope he wins champions leagues and a Ballon Dor because he’s 25 years old meaning that he still has much more to achieve and putting him on a proper squad will allow him to actually fulfill his true potential which is why his move to Real Madrid makes a lot of sense even if they don’t need him.
Bro wrote a hole ass dictionary 💀🙏
DAM 💀
The Spanish league is the only place to win the ballon dors. It’s the only place for a player to be considered in the goat conversations. None of the other leagues have that massive pr that the Spanish league has.
@@kerengarcia1811 it's about the teams and players, not the league really. You could win the ballon d'or in the PL for example.
he ain't the best player in the world, like you said in the end rodri is, bro when you said that there is only one player that is amazing week in week out on the planet and that player was rodri i got so happy finally some respect on this guy's name.
Last year it was also Rodri or KDB.
It just shows how good these guys are and what a team City has.
Honestly found your channel recently and you expose the bs of the media❤
i think the big point, or the rational kernel is a question like: "is mbappe really better than vini jr? not to mention vini has youth on him at this point. Mbappe has rounded aspects of his game like his crossing, but overall vini probably has a higher cieling.
comparing mbappe to ozil at arsenal at around 3:16 echoes the point. how far or how close is he to being the best player?
I like this guys takes
Tbh, he is a player who can cover bad performances with fugazi goals. He has lots of potential but its a shame that he hasnt eon s european golden shoe whikd playing in Ligue 1. Henry won 2 from the EPL at its peak
Real Madrid have one of the best fitness coaches in the world, also one of the best coaches than can get the best out of his players (Ancelotti) just look at players like Vini and Rodrygo
We will see an incredible version of him next season
love listening to you while having breakfast, just something to look forward to. Thank you.
Its simple, people have too many high expectations, they forgot that this is a team game, messi and ronaldo had players like bale, modric, kroos, ramos, casemiro, puyol, villa, iniesta, xavi, busquets, henry, ronaldinho, deco etc, around them while they were winning. PSG is not on that level, and has never been on that level even when they had both messi and neymar.
I know mbappe is gonna wreck la liga, i just dont know where hes gonna play, and as for now i think mbappe needs real madrid more than the other way around, does not mean i dont think of mbappe as the best player in the world at his peak, because he is, even with what vini is doing now i still think when everyone is playing at their best, mbappe is by a bit the most threatening, terrifying and most dangerous player on the pitch.
I’d like to make it clear, that this new generation (post 2010s) are not in any way better individually than any top player from the 2010s or 2000s.
Mbappe and Haaland are supposed to be taking over the top spots from Ronaldo and Messi, yet they are way worse against top players and teams.
Yeah there’s some situations where you can say: “well look at this:”
Mbappe is 25. You know that Messi and Ronaldo we’re definitely in their primes at that age. Ofc they were good long into their 30s, but Mbappe really shows no signs of what they are doing.
Messi and Ronaldo where better than the ones before them too.
They are a big exception.
Compare Mbappe to the people around Messi and Ronaldo or to the guys before them and he fits in.
As a Real Madrid fan , my main problem with Mbappe is not his inconsistency or his ego ( Carlo will most probably deal with that ) + If he joins and ruins a potentially UCL winning dressing room and La Liga winning one all fingers will point at him anyways , my problem with him is that he is one of the worst attackers in the world in terms of defensive contribution and that puts a lot of stress on the team off the ball and will have a lot of different effects mainly longer stretches of the team struggling to gain possession if the ball got to the other team , also it spreads off the work load of 1 player who is not defending to the rest of the team so the team get tired faster throughout the game , i get it he is the best player in the world and probably talking like that on a free player is a luxury that no fan in the world have the privilege too so i think he will surely be a net positive on the team but i have my concerns that will make me on the lookout for him once he starts playing for us .
Will see when he has a midfield behind him. PSG have no midfield or dna. Now imagine vini jnr, rodrygo and mbappe dragging defenders away from each other. Then killing teams with pace. With Jude sitting just behind them.. Think it’s different gravy
I think it’s fine to tax Zidane due to inconsistency. I’ve gone back and watched league campaigns of great players (when there’s enough film, so 1970’s+) and Zidane was very inconsistent. He’s one of the guys who I’ve watched the most full matches of and when looking at all time great players since 1970, he’s actually as inconsistent as it gets. There are a handful of all time greats that were regularly phenomenal, especially compared to Zizou. Those include Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maldini, R9 (pre injury only), Platini, Zico, Baresi, Romário, van Basten, Matthäus, and many many others. Sure, like you said, they weren’t great literally every week but they were all notably more consistent than Zidane. Mbappé is also a fair bit more consistent than Zidane and I’ll be interested to see if that continues in Spain. Consistency is a key attribute when defining someone’s greatness, but I do acknowledge that most other people are not going back and watching old matches to actually gauge what it looks like.
But holy shit good cooking with the Rodri take.
Also did you get into football 2ish years ago and you made tiktoks tracking your journey? Like watching old Arsenal campaigns for example. I saw someone do that and I think I recognize your voice. If that was you I think it’s great how far your ball knowledge has come since then bro.
@@B1izzardd yessir, I was the most casual of casuals before dat. Didn’t watch much at all and only watched the major stuff wit my mom cuz she was a huge fan. Decided to actually take it seriously and started watching old players
@@mandafrombknah man I remember watching and thinking you were gonna get pretty knowledgeable from the takes you were giving even when you had only just begun watching. You were cooking back then too
2 bad matchups and hes instantly overrated. mbappe is the best in the world, if you dont think so youre letting the media get the best of your opinion by folowing their agenda.
Do you have to be consistent to be the best? Or do you just have to outdo everyone once? Genuinely curious as to what it means to be the best.
Fotmob put striker as his main position 💀
But tbh the last Mbappe WC campaign was a bit overrated, I mean except the finals, he literally statpadded against in the previous stages, but yeah Mbappe is not a fraud in any sense, and yeah he is closest to anyone we can call the best player in the world rn.
Mbappe was completely bad against barca. He was never getting anywhere. Stats don't show u that, watching games do. He got lucky with a penalty and a taping but besides that he ghosted in both the legs. Even against Argentina in the final which u claimed he played well because he scored a hat-trick, u forget he was also completely shut down for the entirety of first 60-65 minutes. Only when Griezmann got subbed off and Kingsley Coman and Camavinga got subbed in and when the Argentine defense got fatigued, was Mbappe able to snatch a hat-trick (2 of them being penalties) . So the "big game player " argument in favour of Mbappe makes sense only if u look at stats. If u watch the game, then u will see how horrible he is when he plays against experienced or even above average teams
Dude, it's not about to be good every week and it's not about to be bad in one game. Mbappe is playing on PSG. So there's only two competition he could show that he is the best: ucl and euros. It doesn't matter how good he seems to be on League One. That competition it's not a worthy parameter to choose the best player in the world. In the last 4 games on ucl he didn't enough and his team was eliminated. He still have one chance. If he didn't show up with France, he can't be the best of this season. Simple as that.
Well, he didn't show up for France either.
@@roleoahotondji54 well, 23/24 season cards are all on the table. He shouldn't be nominated.
But he will have a great chance this season. He's talented enough. Let's see what will happen to "galaticos 3.0"
Nah, dude. Mbappe isn't the best player in the world at the moment (for the 23/24 season), Vini had a better season than him. Mbappe is a good player, and it's not that he isn't consistent, he is. But he hasn't performed well against a really good team since a long time now, and if you actually watch him play repeatitively, you will see he hasn't been really the same since after the world cup. You talk about the Dortmund game as if he was good against Barça... He was far from being the best player against Barça in quarter final and it was the same against Dortmund.
How many big games has to pass before we start judging a player? We can't just keep bringing up his past performances (2022 and before) to dismiss any criticism. Mbappe's overall game isn't as good as before; he isn't as dangerous as he was with the ball at his feets. The fact all the highlights (or even the performances) you showed in the video are from pre-2022 is a testament of that. I hope for him he could find his best form at Marid, but the criticisms he has received are completely justified.
Fax the exact thing happend to Onana
Messi is who he's being compared to and he RARELY had an off game.
Im a Rodri man myself
The difference is that al though Ronaldo and Messi may have bad performances, they show up when the team needs them in big games.. unlike Mbappe who just disappears every goddamn time, when has he ever bailed out PSG in the past couple of Champions League seasons?? typical western "soccer fans" just found out about football since the recent world cup and thinks their shitty opinion hold significance
Not even gonna watch your video. It's incredibly click baity and disrespectful. Imma break down why Mbappe is not as consistent as he was for most of this season.
Ever since Mbappe announced to the PSG dressing room in February he has not been the same outside of France. You see it in every international game outside of Real Sociedad (they were easy tbh) that he has reached a plateau, he isn't as confident and concentrated (with everything going around in the background, plus his abysmal relationship w/ Nasser), and he has become the most loved/hated footballer on the planet. Granted the hate is partially due to his poor decision making when pressured but when the political big wigs of French football and the French government come to you as a fellow French citizen, and gaslight you into staying for their benefit (not yours), and then give you 3 trucks worth of money, as a 23 year old..... its hard making the right decisions.
All Mbappe needs is to regain his confidence back and be in a team that not only needs him but wants him. Which Madrid do. And yes for the kind of domination Madrid want (treble, domestic domination) for the next 5 years, Mbappe is needed. No doubt. No need to watch this stupid video. Just know football and the players.
You should've watched the video
great vid bro, you finna blow up soon
Cole Palmer is da best in da world
I like you take. I’ll subscribe
You still have time to delete this bro 😂 I understand your points but if your believe the ppl who are saying he’s a fraud that’s your problem. Your listen to ppl you shouldn’t but the fact is HE ISNT THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. Key words “right now” you even mentioned it in the video… vini had the Same struggles mabappe did and he was able to adapt. If Mbappe is the best he should too, simple as that. vini is the best player in the world right now and this video felt more like a “let me show why vini isn’t the best player in the world” instead of “why I think Mbappe isn’t a fraud” my boy Rodri for ballon dor 😂 he’s amazing but he got eliminated and there are so many other candidates. Idk bro just kinda seems like you hating and tryna cover it up with “Mbappe support”
? I mentioned Vini for like 4 seconds in the video, he was a sidenote 💀
All this Mbappé glazing and you never mention his problematic diva attitude.
Does attitude have anything to do with footballing ability? It doesn’t. I highly doubt that is true because most of these comments come from PSG. It’s the only club that seems to have this kind of drama.
I hate to hear Americans talk about football
Womp womp 🤷🏾
Well I guess Europeans are the only ones capable of talking about football. Reminder that some of the best footballers have come from the Americas which is particularly from the south.
