One thing that nobody says about this Real Madrid side and their strong winning mentality is that they practice it, and they have been practicing it every weekend for most of the last 4 years. When you look at what top teams in England and Germany have been doing every weekend, and then you look at what Real Madrid has been doing since Cristiano Ronaldo left, you'll notice that most Real Madrid games go down to the wire at lot more than Manchester City, Liverpool and/or Bayern games. Real Madrid lost Cristiano Ronaldo and his 50+ yearly goal tally very abruptly, and despite signing Eden Hazard, Real Madrid has found it very difficult to consistently score enough goals to win comfortably. For the most part of the last 4 years, every weekend, when the clock approaches the 85th minute, Real Madrid is most likely either protecting a very slim lead, having yet to score or having to come back. Week in and week out they've struggled to put enough goals to feel safe, so they never do feel safe; they play their every game from whistle to whistle knowing that those final minutes are the most important ones. They all know that how you perform in those final minutes determines whether or not you take the points home, and Real Madrid is ALWAYS expected to take the points home. Week in, week out, this habit of winning slimly and winning late has left an indelible mark on their character. This year, Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Camavinga have given Real Madrid the last bit of edge they needed to be an elite winning squad. Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, these teams are all used to comfortably sealing wins before the dying minutes of the game. Real Madrid, due to a simple lack of quality and due to playing in a much more defensive league, have had no choice, but to build the unbreakable mentality required overcome their rivals in the dying minutes. A lot of people attribute this Real Madrid's run of epic comebacks to lofty ideas of club glory and football heritage-which obviously do play a part-but the thing that top teams in Europe often lack, that this Real Madrid has bags of is grit.
Man that is a very interesting take, spot on. Never saw it that way. At least we took away something valuable from many of those matches in which we suffered as dogs to get a win haha. It is also worth mentioning that whenever RM arrives in any town or city, it is a big deal, and most teams will have an extra motivation to beat us.
Luck doesn’t score you 3 v Paris, 3 v Chelsea and 3 v City. This cones down to Real Madrid’s incredible resilience. I am sure it won’t be any different when they face off against Liverpool.
@@doesnotexist305 You mean just van dijk? Alison already conceded three to Madrid. Only one of those players eclipse and run past any other player in his position.
I've been a Real Madrid for 20 years and I've never seen a run like this. They just don't quit. Despite the success, money and glamor they just don't quit. It's like some kind of blue collar approach to big games. It's really admirable.
I can only compare it to the 2006/2007 laliga last 11 matches. that shit was mental too. at 11 years old seeing that run made me fan. (but after this ucl im a whole ac)
@@gonfreecss7353 yes, english clubs are so overrated, even their players are, i mean english players. liverpool is not in that list for me, but that "big-six" for me is a joke
@@puneet_sharma007 Ok let's see UCL (La liga) - 19 UCL (Premier League) - 14 UEL (La liga) - 13 UEL (Premier League) - 9 So, Tell me, at what point have they shown to dominate Europe? Even Real Madrid > Premier League.
@@Joker-bp1gf Even England National Team is also Overrated. They won their only international trophy long time ago in 1966 WC. But they act like they are greatest footballing nation.
Also worth remembering that the last time Ancelotti coached Real, he took them to the CL final where they pulled off one of the greatest comebacks of all time (92:48 will go on to live in the folklore of the club for time immemorial) to get our coveted La Decima. Both the players and the coach have been in this situation before and know how to handle it - the match isn't over until its over.
Madrid's mentality of signing young comes from way back. Casemiro was signed when he was 19 or something (even marcelo, varane, ramos, carvajal, casemiro, benzema, isco, asensio, lucas were all signed before they were 22). But probably this shift came more prominently with the signing of Odeegard, as Perez realized that City and PSG were going to blow up the market with their oil.
As a Barça fan I admire the fact that Madrid in recent years abandoned their Galactico policy of just buying the world's best players, and instead buying top quality prospects for the future like when they bought Vini, Rodrygo, Casemiro, Mendy, Camavinga etc.
@@i_havethe_highground3955 the mentality is always there, the trophies are there to show. both teams have had periods without much success but they both always return to the top.. the rivalry drives each team. We had a poor season this season but we had a horrible start, won a trophy last season tho and hopefully a couple more next season
@@i_havethe_highground3955 comeback defeats in the UCL happens, both those seasons we won La Liga but some fans look back at those years as failures. Personally I enjoyed those seasons even if we got bad defeats, our UCL run to the semi-final was amazing, we won La Liga and were unbeaten until the penultimate game only losing to Levante all season.. Messi won the Balon Dor with some amazing performances.. I look back at that time fondly. Even last season I enjoyed because despite all the talk and media narratives we still won a trophy when Madrid went trophyless last season. This season we are trophyless and they have trophies but I'm hopeful for next year.
Every player at Real Madrid that's older than 23 has either won or participated in tons of finals for both club and country. Kroos has 4 UCLs, Bundesliga, Pokkal Cup, World Cup and even Euros and sub 21. Modric has World Cup final, 4 UCLs, 1 Ballon D'Or, several league titles. Casemiro has 3 UCLs, Copa America, La Liga. Benzema was the bridge between old Galacticos and the second Galacticos era... he got some of his best goals playing with Guti... He has little accolades with France for obvious reasons but has tons of merit with both Lyon and Real Madrid. He's been forever at the club. Alaba won everything with Bayern. Carvajal is out of fitness but still has tons of experience both club and country. Even the bench themselves have accolades galore. Nacho and Lucas Vasquez know damn well what the weight of the shirt is, they are work horses and extremely talented. Then we have the rest of the bench which includes... Bale, Hazard, Isco, Asensio... the least experienced player is probably Vallejo and he is a great young talent. They have way more experience at tournaments and winning than ANYONE else in modern football. No other team assembled has this amount of experience in their squad and has a combination of this many young talent. Credit to Rodrygo and Vini who are young, willing to learn and HUNGRY (everything Neymar wasn't).
The history with laid back coaches repeats. Del Bosque from 2000 and 2002, Carlo in 2014 and Zidane 2016-2018. It's their signature - when you have 15+ players with world class talent, you just need to know how to talk to them.
@@SantoshMishra-xe5or if I remember 4 years ago was a very different team with a very different goalkeeper, meanwhile last year we had to play Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips at CB so neither of these points actually hold any weight
Fantastic video, Adrian. It's absolutely true about the Madrid squad that they like a certain type of manager. This is arguably the most successful Real Madrid team in history and the most successful coaches in this spell have been Zidane and Ancelotti. Both of them are masters of man management. While yes, Mourinho built this side from the ground up with a stern tactical approach and an underdog mentality, but I doubt he would be a great fit for the current iteration of the squad. For every master tactician such as Guardiola, Tuchel, or Conte, you do have a man management expert such as Zidane and Ancelotti. Different sides benefit from different types of managers, and the current ones work best for Madrid.
From the beginning of the season I always told everyone never give up on Real Madrid, even if we have bad seasons there’s always points where we can come back and fight, the game isn’t over until the whistles blown, I’m glad I’m right about the season
This Madrid side still gives me nightmares as a Liverpool fan. Although we've improved, we've been through the wringer and we bounced back to prevail, we don't have that weight that Madrid has, on paper we're supposedly better but mentally I doubt if we could stand even a chance against the giant that is Real Madrid.
Real Madrid are in transition but people forget how peak Real Madrid was with Cristiano Ronaldo & the rest. Real Madrid was facing a peak Barca who was all about possession, chance creation & took their chances way more than this current Man C. In order to face such a style & team, Real Madrid perfected their edge, they had a style of doing more damage in few moments or minutes than a team that had most of the possession or chances. People say it's not a great team, I think it's the best team atm cause it can do more damage in 2min than 90min of "dominance" (what so called pundits deem it as) by one of the best teams in the world. Liverpool cannot do what Real Madrid does, they cannot outdamage Man C with so little chances. People don't understand football that the best team is not the one with most possession or chances but the one who scores the most, football is won through goals... Real Madrid try to blunt the fangs of other teams while sharpening their fangs & waiting for the moment to fully kill the enemy, to leave them hopeless. They outdid 90min of Man City in 2min, that's Real Madrid & in 10 min they tripled the damage.
@@rodrigofonseca6241 Yup. Franco being the most hated dictator in Europe played a role in Real winning European cup. Franco's Ghost is now playing role in the modern era.
@@alesksander It's true, look it up. He was not sacked because of that but he had ridiculous ideas & ridiculous results. Zidane had to come back & save Real Madrid.
As a barca fan, I naturally support the team that faces real madrid, so at the moment i want liverpool to beat them, but I can't hate madrid, their winning mentality is insane and should be praised
I am a Barca fan. It hates me to admit it, but Real Madrid are goat amongst the club's. The reason is , no matter who stays or not, they always take less time to rebuild. Plus every tournament they are always amongst the favourites to win. Perez makes sure the best always end up at Real. Plus amazing to see them restructure the club after Ronaldo left. Also Perez being ruthless for aged great players to terminate or let go. They make sure no player is ever bigger than Real Madrid.
not many people will like this take but real madrid have had a great underdog run in to the final. they weren’t expected to beat psg, chelsea, or manchester city but still made it. it’s also now the opposite off that liverpool final they had a few years ago with the power being more on liverpools side now.
You have a short memory, Real Madrid in the last final vs Liverpool were underdogs, in their 3 peat they were always underdogs. It was Bayern, Liverpool or Man C favourites for years. Real Madrid was rarely favourite when they won the CL, maybe some fans viewed them as such but pundits, media or even betting was against them...
I think that style of Ancelotti is what worked for Valverde at Barcelona. He'd let the players have their say and if you see Barca's game under him, it's like the players were doing their own thing and it did get results. The difference was that Barcelona always crumbled under pressure. With Messi and Ter Stegen at their peaks, most games they'd demolish teams even tho they weren't as slick and sometimes like with the 1st leg against Liverpool, be outplayed and yet win convincingly.I think that's a nice comparison to make and further emphasises how important a strong mentality is
I think a lot of people ignore the Growth Florentino has had in terms of leading a Club. Ignoring the whole Superleague. Just looking at Real and how the club evolved. Florentino Started as your tipical Football Boss on the helm of a team with a shit ton of cash. Basically his Galáctico era was sign big flashy players ignoring the football side of things And what happened? Florentino himself admired his mistake of letting the players take control. Upon his return Florentino seem to do the same by signing a shit ton of players yet again But that quickly stopped Real would become pretty conservative on the mark Spending big every 2-3 summers While buying Yong players or years on offer the rest of the time Now the focus on Yong Pyers is greater than ever. Aslo we see Floren no longer getting bent by players The moment a player stops working for the club or gets greedy They get out Regardless if they are Cristiano or Ramos Also I noticed that Real is a lot more patient with it's players Back in the day you got sold and replaced afther one weak season,now it's no longer the case,the same goes with the managers.As long as they keep the dressing room,even not winning anything dosen't necessarly mean they are gonna get fired. Lastly,there is an emphasis on protecting Yong talent,this is relatively new,but unlike many other big clubs, Florentino has made it his responsibility to protect the younger players from media pressure Hate the guy all you like I'm Real Fan and I disagree with his idea of a Superleague But as for what he has done for real and what he still does He is one of our greatest presidents and has aways shown to greatly care about the club and it's future
Yeah a lot of us talked trash about Perez when he started the superleague and sold Varane and didn't give Ramos a contract. His apology should be as loud as the disrespect
Tbh a couple of years ago I was afraid we would bend over backwards to please CR7 in the same way Barça ended up doing with Messi. When Cristiano left I felt relieved it wouldn't happen even if it was at the cost of struggling for 1 or 2 seasons in the league and missing the remaining 1 or 2 prime Cristiano years. The club must outlive the players, it can't become overly attached to any of them.
55 years old 35 years being member of the club.., I ‘ve been witness of several “remontadas” from early 80’s- Anderlech, Inter Milan, Hamburg- to those more recent, and trust me, the Club taught all young players to all categories to never give up .. this is not miracles this is a know-how. It is a hard mentally work. Just an example: in valdedebas Training center, there are three buildings. First and second building are for younger categories, and third for professionals. You can read messages on the walks like “if you read this is because you still need to work harder to reach a room upstairs” That’s the mentality.
Real Madrid are the best there is , the best there was and the best the ever shall be . Even when the world mocked , laughed, ridiculed and when the Team was down on the last breath virtually beaten they refused to give up . That’s the spirit of Real Madrid, never give up even when the odds and whole world against is you . That’s the Los Merengues Aka Los vikingos way . We are football heritage, it can’t be bought or sold . It’s something that’s from inside , something that’s forged through blood , sweat and extreme perseverance. !Hala Madrid! To Liverpool, you are true warriors you fought till the end .
This season,this team has given me glorious moments and a billion heart attacks but I'm very happy. I don't care what happens on the 28th of this month but I'm proud of this team. From board to players. I love everyone. What a bloody season! A por la 14
Love the video, but I do hate to see people deduce Carlo Ancelotti to simply “a man manager” While he might not be as outspoken as managers like Mourinho, Klopp or Conte, or have some sort of philosophy tied to his game like Pep Guardiola, when looking at his entire career that spans over 25 years, you’ll notice that not only has he more than proven his status as an elite tactician, but also as one of the most adaptable/versatile manager of his generation, if not of all time. Much like his man management skills, there isn’t a manager that I can think of better at looking at whatever his squad is and finding a formation/style that gets the best out of them REGARDLESS of it’s deficiencies(one of the most famous examples of this would be his implementation of the “Christmas Tree” formation he popularized during his time at Milan). It is VERY easy to forget that despite the sensational form of Benzema in the post Ronaldo era, this was in fact a Real Madrid team that still struggled to score goals last season, having a particularly difficult time against oppositions that played in a low block. In response to the growing concerns that the club would continue to struggle even more going into this season as a result of not signing another forward, Ancelotti was quoted in responding : “It's not about signing a proven striker who scores 30 goals, but about implementing an offensive system and mentality, the lack of goals is an issue that can be resolved systematically” Real Madrid have done EXACTLY this and it’s no question as to how. This is a Real Madrid team that’s VERY different from ones of the past, the “big egos” of Galacticos like Ronaldo, Ramos, Casillas or Bale(even though he’s still in the squad) are simply not present in this edition. The least of Ancelotti’s job for this Madrid squad has been “managing egos” or personas and more to do with the task of implementing a system that solves problems of the past(scoring more, breaking down low blocks) along with integrating and further developing the younger and more inexperienced players that the club invested in(Vini, Rodrygo, Militao, Camavinga) He’s done an exemplary job at doing that, and he deserves a lot more credit than people are giving him.
The big difference at Real Madrid is that at the Bernabéu, the players work for the history of the club, and appear in it. It's not just tactics, but technique, courage with a single purpose, to add to the club's history. An example is that at the Bernabeu Cristinano was whistled when he did badly, something that never happened with Mesi at Barcelona. There are no myths but when they add to the history and when they no longer play. In the meantime, to work and to add victories, otherwise, no matter how good you are, you will be out. Madrid's philosophy
Culture will always be part of their success, They know they have the talents, they just need a guide... This era where they are very successful in UCL, the foundation will always be linked to Mourinho when they are rebuilding... If Mourinho decided not to manage anymore, I hope he will be part of real madrid's staff in charge of transfers
Recently, the CIES Football Observatory reported a ranking with the european clubs according to their net spending (spent - income) on transfer operations concluded over the last ten seasons. MUnited, City and PSG top the table with a negative balance of more than one billion euro. Real Madrid ranks 25th with 178M€ net transfer spent (1163M€ spent and 984M€ income). Clubs like Leicester, Wolverhamptom, Brighton, Napoli or Wolfsburg have spent more than Real Madrid over the last ten years. They have made, along with Bayern, way less signings than any other big club in Europe. We all know what RMA achieved these years. They are also always top 3 in revenue and in most valuable clubs lists, but media narrative usually tells us that Real Madrid is the bigger spender in the world and a club used to waste tons of money close to bankruptcy 🤦♂️ I remember Perez saying transfer fees are investments, while wages are expenses. They seem to work with that premise, and I think it worked out quite well for them.
Real Madrid is surely the club under more pressure, not just because they are expected to win as any other big club, but because of the media pressure. Club and players are always under constant media scrutiny and everything is magnified. Spanish media tend to be very very harsh and destructive with the club, almost every RMA player have been disrespected, despised and insulted on national media. Modric was so bad signing he was even named worst signing in LaLiga at the time. Bezema was not a striker for RMA and had no personality. Pundits still laugh at Vinicius almost on a daily basis. And I won’t even mention what they have said about Cristiano and Bale since they arrived. And same for managers, Zidane just made lineups, but he happened to have luck for 3 years, Mourinho was even called nazi. I can imagine this is a lot of pressure for the players. Of course many struggle, can't stand it and end up leaving the club, but those who stay, turn out to have that mental strength not every player has. They surely feel the need to team up and prove others wrong. Bayern, Liverpool, United, AC Milan, Juve, Barça, etc. all other giants are not under the same pressure, because the national media is not as destructive and disrespectful as the spanish media is in Madrid. Combine this mental strength, the history of the club, and the fans always wanting you to fight until the end, and maybe you can get a season as incredible as this one. As they say: hasta el final, vamos Real! Anyway, do not forget not every year is like this.
Philip lamh once said "Madrid can win any game with or without possession". And the best thing about Madrid is that they never die never tremble even when the opponent keeps on pressing.
Hala Madrid ! I still get a sense that proper credit is not being given to both Ancellotti and Zidane. Ancellotti had a solid game plan and made the proper adjustments to win in these 2nd legs of the UCL. A great manager is open to receiving input from veteran players. The Man City 2nd leg upset was very revealing. Prior to the beginning of extra time, Carlos was cool, calm and reassuring, whereas Pep was high strung, giving lots of instructions and had a desperate, manic quality about him. Sometimes less is more and at the elite levels it’s about people skills.
Especially when Liverpool has done the almighty Istanbul final, they of all people should know that it's only over when the Ref calls it and you need to be focused 100% until the whistle.
At Real Madrid when a player who won 3 championships in a row bragged, someone at the club told him, Gento won 6 in a row. That's the mentality, it's never enough. You are there to add to Real Madrid history and be part of it. You never will be more than the club.
I feel like real reason for madrid sucess is that they sign players who actually want to play for rm like as players who have dream of playing fr madrid, not just for money. Obv they should also fit recruitment/ scouting criteria. Thats how you get that never give up attitude on bigger stages
Hey but he did a very good job at Napoli as well !! Grooming players like Milik Koulibaly Mertens and Insigne.. I think apart from Everton(small club) he managed all other clubs very well ! 🙂
Anybody who thinks of winning the UCL must first think of beating Real. Real is one team that has mastered the knack of coming back and winning games in situations where even the most ardent supporters have lost hope. That's Real Madrid. Madrid is for Real.
I think Haaland knew that going to Real, would mean that he would not play in his favoured position. It's highly unlikely that he would/could take Karim's place at this stage. Coupled with the possible signing of Mbappe. Competition would be too high, whereas City doesn't have a number 9. Makes sense from a sporting perspective, of cause the financial reason can't be overlooked.
Real Madrid mentaily is always in The mind we never give up we are smart about Who we buy and we get veteran players Who know what it takes to win we sign player and teach them how to win are club is a history team we Will never give up against liverpool The are a strong team but we wont give up we fight to The end hope we win the champions League 14 hala Madrid
Really appreciate your content and others youtubers like you. These days TV, movies and series just don’t do it for me. You, tifo, Daily football keep me entertained
He wasn’t that bad at Napoli. He led them to UCL qualification and a round of 16 appearance in his 2nd year. Also during his 1st year Napoli were leading a UCL group with Liverpool & PSG on the final match day. Until they lost to eventual winners Liverpool and came in 3rd in the group.
You cant compare tanking in American sports to European Football. They do not have academies or an open transfer market, so tanking is one of the only ways to obtain quality players.
@@langletprolet8378 Tell me about it, whenever i see the likes of Leganes and Alcoyano, i just know we are in trouble. In UCL? Always believe we have a chance.
How can it be great management, to be losing most of the game, ( not just losing, getting slapped around). And Chuck the kids on at the end of the game and hope. Wow that's genius
Tactics not his strength? A bit strange to make a claim like that, only because Ancelotti seems to have a more relaxed personality. At this level I don't think that there are too many differences in coaches' tactical abilities and we could see that in the recent UCL final. Also keep in mind that he is Italian, and they are known to be specialists in tactics. I can also recall a statement of Ancelotti in an interview some years ago when he said that he often spoke to Arrigo Sacchi before important matches. Ancelotti is just different to other coaches. Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho etc. are much more present in the media and they also are more extrovert types. I think it is just a matter of perception. But of course Ancelottis man management and leadership type is more relaxed but also puts more responsibility on the players. If he asks them for their opinion they will feel much more connected and involved. That might make the players take even higher efforts to be successful. That's how you lead, that's how you build a team.
I just have a disagree about "Ancelotti is made for top clubs only" He succeeded with Reggina and Parma And even at Everton it wasnt a failure : his season with the Toffees is by far the best for the club in the last 5 years. So he only failed at Bayern (because of cultural incompatibility) and Napoli (I think, because he succeeded to Sarri who just created something perfect tactically with this group, I mean, who else could have 91 points with this team ?) But Ancelotti can win with smaller team. But you're right on something : Ancelotti CANT manage Everton like Real. But he didnt. Like CR7 said "I heard that with Milan there was a lot of tactical work, because it's the italian culture. With Real, he made very few tactical sessions. And it's good because we didnt need it."
from being ridiculed bcs of their loss to Sheriff, a nobody, to UCL champions beating literally the biggest clubs in the world throughout the knockout stages up until final
Just watching this makes me want to play for Madrid lol if I had the talent but I am enjoying being a fan so we are all good... That's why I was never a fan of Mourinho even though he is a great coach he makes everything about himself and his dressing room is not the most healthy... While Ancelotti gives credit to his players even taking advice that technique is used at my job as well believe me my managers always know how to make me perform at my best.
11:08 I'm always annoyed when I hear people say this, to me this is clear indication of someone not actually having watched Ancelotti/his teams enough. Simple logic here, you cannot have the career carlo has had without being brilliant tactically. He's known as the professor (tite before joining Brazil, said he went to Europe to learn the 433/442 under carlo). Another logic, you don't get handed over good squad if you haven't proven yourself. I guess what happens is, people look at his excellent man management & sort of ignore the rest. You cannot be this successful by man management alone. Simple.
ditto! Don Carlo is a tactical giant but keeps getting this stupid slander because people worship at the altars of "gegenpressing" and "tiki-taka". Similar to Zidane, who wins a never-been-even-conceived-of-before 3peat and still gets labeled as a "man-manager". it's a crazy world out there fr.
It sounds funny when people disregard top coaches not being a tactitian.Most coaches in this age have a team of staff for tactics , training ,coaches for throwins penalty freekicks .A coach has a philosophy and the tactics follow accordingly.To say a coach is not tactical straight away is silly .
Very true about Ancelotti and Zidane. Similar histories and similar approach to big clubs. Perhaps Zidane knows this and is the reason why he's waiting on the France National position. Similar setup and similar culture.
If you think about the form since Liverpool vs Manchester City at the Etihad , Liverpool have played better in the 2nd half then the 1st. The have played like headless chickens mostly in the 1st halves and needed tough love by Jurgen at half time . So I think Liverpool need to play defensively for the 1st half in the Final to throw Real off their game plan and play the second half to win 1-0 like a Jose Mourinho esqe .
@@chrundlethegreat2251 They had like 35% possession in the 2019 CL final. They parked the bus after Salah scored that penalty. That's why the final was so boring
Frankly i feel haaland will play at one point in his career for Real just not now. Karim can still deliver for 2 years . Haaland is 21 and his current contract for 5 years takes him till 26 … he’ll only get better
Why would you mention camawinga, before Fede valverede as a young unknown talkent bought who developed at Madrid is beyond me… I mean camawinga was already a world class talent in France.
One thing that nobody says about this Real Madrid side and their strong winning mentality is that they practice it, and they have been practicing it every weekend for most of the last 4 years. When you look at what top teams in England and Germany have been doing every weekend, and then you look at what Real Madrid has been doing since Cristiano Ronaldo left, you'll notice that most Real Madrid games go down to the wire at lot more than Manchester City, Liverpool and/or Bayern games.
Real Madrid lost Cristiano Ronaldo and his 50+ yearly goal tally very abruptly, and despite signing Eden Hazard, Real Madrid has found it very difficult to consistently score enough goals to win comfortably. For the most part of the last 4 years, every weekend, when the clock approaches the 85th minute, Real Madrid is most likely either protecting a very slim lead, having yet to score or having to come back.
Week in and week out they've struggled to put enough goals to feel safe, so they never do feel safe; they play their every game from whistle to whistle knowing that those final minutes are the most important ones. They all know that how you perform in those final minutes determines whether or not you take the points home, and Real Madrid is ALWAYS expected to take the points home. Week in, week out, this habit of winning slimly and winning late has left an indelible mark on their character.
This year, Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Camavinga have given Real Madrid the last bit of edge they needed to be an elite winning squad. Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern, these teams are all used to comfortably sealing wins before the dying minutes of the game. Real Madrid, due to a simple lack of quality and due to playing in a much more defensive league, have had no choice, but to build the unbreakable mentality required overcome their rivals in the dying minutes.
A lot of people attribute this Real Madrid's run of epic comebacks to lofty ideas of club glory and football heritage-which obviously do play a part-but the thing that top teams in Europe often lack, that this Real Madrid has bags of is grit.
Others wither under pressure, we thrive in it.
Man that is a very interesting take, spot on. Never saw it that way. At least we took away something valuable from many of those matches in which we suffered as dogs to get a win haha. It is also worth mentioning that whenever RM arrives in any town or city, it is a big deal, and most teams will have an extra motivation to beat us.

Also worth remembering that the last time Ancelotti coached Real, he took them to the CL final where they pulled off one of the greatest comebacks of all time (92:48 will go on to live in the folklore of the club for time immemorial) to get our coveted La Decima. Both the players and the coach have been in this situation before and know how to handle it - the match isn't over until its over.
Madrid's mentality of signing young comes from way back. Casemiro was signed when he was 19 or something (even marcelo, varane, ramos, carvajal, casemiro, benzema, isco, asensio, lucas were all signed before they were 22). But probably this shift came more prominently with the signing of Odeegard, as Perez realized that City and PSG were going to blow up the market with their oil.

Messi won the Balon Dor with some amazing performances.. I look back at that time fondly.

Every player at Real Madrid that's older than 23 has either won or participated in tons of finals for both club and country. Kroos has 4 UCLs, Bundesliga, Pokkal Cup, World Cup and even Euros and sub 21. Modric has World Cup final, 4 UCLs, 1 Ballon D'Or, several league titles. Casemiro has 3 UCLs, Copa America, La Liga. Benzema was the bridge between old Galacticos and the second Galacticos era... he got some of his best goals playing with Guti... He has little accolades with France for obvious reasons but has tons of merit with both Lyon and Real Madrid. He's been forever at the club. Alaba won everything with Bayern. Carvajal is out of fitness but still has tons of experience both club and country. Even the bench themselves have accolades galore. Nacho and Lucas Vasquez know damn well what the weight of the shirt is, they are work horses and extremely talented. Then we have the rest of the bench which includes... Bale, Hazard, Isco, Asensio... the least experienced player is probably Vallejo and he is a great young talent.
They have way more experience at tournaments and winning than ANYONE else in modern football. No other team assembled has this amount of experience in their squad and has a combination of this many young talent. Credit to Rodrygo and Vini who are young, willing to learn and HUNGRY (everything Neymar wasn't).

Fantastic video, Adrian. It's absolutely true about the Madrid squad that they like a certain type of manager. This is arguably the most successful Real Madrid team in history and the most successful coaches in this spell have been Zidane and Ancelotti. Both of them are masters of man management. While yes, Mourinho built this side from the ground up with a stern tactical approach and an underdog mentality, but I doubt he would be a great fit for the current iteration of the squad. For every master tactician such as Guardiola, Tuchel, or Conte, you do have a man management expert such as Zidane and Ancelotti. Different sides benefit from different types of managers, and the current ones work best for Madrid.
From the beginning of the season I always told everyone never give up on Real Madrid, even if we have bad seasons there’s always points where we can come back and fight, the game isn’t over until the whistles blown, I’m glad I’m right about the season
This Madrid side still gives me nightmares as a Liverpool fan. Although we've improved, we've been through the wringer and we bounced back to prevail, we don't have that weight that Madrid has, on paper we're supposedly better but mentally I doubt if we could stand even a chance against the giant that is Real Madrid.
At least this time ramos isn't there to injure Salah and don't have karius giving away goals left and right
I, as a Madrid fan for 20 years, give you a well deserved W for this comment.
I think you should be a little more confident in liverpool. They can be pretty big mentality monsters at times too
@@leftnut1055 last year we both teams had lots of injuries and we still won…
As a Madrid fan Liverpool is probably the only team in the world with Bayern probably currently that has a monstrous mentality too.
Real Madrid are in transition but people forget how peak Real Madrid was with Cristiano Ronaldo & the rest. Real Madrid was facing a peak Barca who was all about possession, chance creation & took their chances way more than this current Man C. In order to face such a style & team, Real Madrid perfected their edge, they had a style of doing more damage in few moments or minutes than a team that had most of the possession or chances.
People say it's not a great team, I think it's the best team atm cause it can do more damage in 2min than 90min of "dominance" (what so called pundits deem it as) by one of the best teams in the world. Liverpool cannot do what Real Madrid does, they cannot outdamage Man C with so little chances.
People don't understand football that the best team is not the one with most possession or chances but the one who scores the most, football is won through goals... Real Madrid try to blunt the fangs of other teams while sharpening their fangs & waiting for the moment to fully kill the enemy, to leave them hopeless. They outdid 90min of Man City in 2min, that's Real Madrid & in 10 min they tripled the damage.

This is so true. It’s like the power dynamic between the two clubs has reversed. That’s a rly nice observation
You have a short memory, Real Madrid in the last final vs Liverpool were underdogs, in their 3 peat they were always underdogs. It was Bayern, Liverpool or Man C favourites for years.
Real Madrid was rarely favourite when they won the CL, maybe some fans viewed them as such but pundits, media or even betting was against them...
Vely nice Observation Ever and good spot Silvesta☺☺☺☺☺😉😊😇
Perfect Timing, got my lunch ready and everything
I think that style of Ancelotti is what worked for Valverde at Barcelona. He'd let the players have their say and if you see Barca's game under him, it's like the players were doing their own thing and it did get results. The difference was that Barcelona always crumbled under pressure. With Messi and Ter Stegen at their peaks, most games they'd demolish teams even tho they weren't as slick and sometimes like with the 1st leg against Liverpool, be outplayed and yet win convincingly.I think that's a nice comparison to make and further emphasises how important a strong mentality is
Madrid have been doing that since 2017 with Zidae
I'm from Madrid and madridista since I can remember....can't imagine it other way , so proud of it.
Hala Madrid
i think their mentality is what won them those games
I think a lot of people ignore the Growth Florentino has had in terms of leading a Club.
Ignoring the whole Superleague.
Just looking at Real and how the club evolved.
Florentino Started as your tipical Football Boss on the helm of a team with a shit ton of cash.
Basically his Galáctico era was sign big flashy players ignoring the football side of things
And what happened?
Florentino himself admired his mistake of letting the players take control.
Upon his return
Florentino seem to do the same by signing a shit ton of players yet again
But that quickly stopped
Real would become pretty conservative on the mark
Spending big every 2-3 summers
While buying Yong players or years on offer the rest of the time
Now the focus on Yong Pyers is greater than ever.
Aslo we see Floren no longer getting bent by players
The moment a player stops working for the club or gets greedy
They get out
Regardless if they are Cristiano or Ramos
Also I noticed that Real is a lot more patient with it's players
Back in the day you got sold and replaced afther one weak season,now it's no longer the case,the same goes with the managers.As long as they keep the dressing room,even not winning anything dosen't necessarly mean they are gonna get fired.
Lastly,there is an emphasis on protecting Yong talent,this is relatively new,but unlike many other big clubs, Florentino has made it his responsibility to protect the younger players from media pressure
Hate the guy all you like
I'm Real Fan and I disagree with his idea of a Superleague
But as for what he has done for real and what he still does
He is one of our greatest presidents and has aways shown to greatly care about the club and it's future
Yeah a lot of us talked trash about Perez when he started the superleague and sold Varane and didn't give Ramos a contract. His apology should be as loud as the disrespect
Tbh a couple of years ago I was afraid we would bend over backwards to please CR7 in the same way Barça ended up doing with Messi. When Cristiano left I felt relieved it wouldn't happen even if it was at the cost of struggling for 1 or 2 seasons in the league and missing the remaining 1 or 2 prime Cristiano years. The club must outlive the players, it can't become overly attached to any of them.
55 years old 35 years being member of the club.., I ‘ve been witness of several “remontadas” from early 80’s- Anderlech, Inter Milan, Hamburg- to those more recent, and trust me, the Club taught all young players to all categories to never give up .. this is not miracles this is a know-how. It is a hard mentally work. Just an example: in valdedebas Training center, there are three buildings. First and second building are for younger categories, and third for professionals. You can read messages on the walks like “if you read this is because you still need to work harder to reach a room upstairs”
That’s the mentality.
Real Madrid are the best there is , the best there was and the best the ever shall be .
Even when the world mocked , laughed, ridiculed and when the Team was down on the last breath virtually beaten they refused to give up . That’s the spirit of Real Madrid, never give up even when the odds and whole world against is you . That’s the Los Merengues Aka Los vikingos way . We are football heritage, it can’t be bought or sold . It’s something that’s from inside , something that’s forged through blood , sweat and extreme perseverance.
!Hala Madrid!
To Liverpool, you are true warriors you fought till the end .
This is my favorite soccer channel ever . I’m always entertained with each upload
This season,this team has given me glorious moments and a billion heart attacks but I'm very happy.

What a bloody season!
A por la 14
I feel the same! Hala madrid! A por la 14!!

Love the video, but I do hate to see people deduce Carlo Ancelotti to simply “a man manager” While he might not be as outspoken as managers like Mourinho, Klopp or Conte, or have some sort of philosophy tied to his game like Pep Guardiola, when looking at his entire career that spans over 25 years, you’ll notice that not only has he more than proven his status as an elite tactician, but also as one of the most adaptable/versatile manager of his generation, if not of all time. Much like his man management skills, there isn’t a manager that I can think of better at looking at whatever his squad is and finding a formation/style that gets the best out of them REGARDLESS of it’s deficiencies(one of the most famous examples of this would be his implementation of the “Christmas Tree” formation he popularized during his time at Milan). It is VERY easy to forget that despite the sensational form of Benzema in the post Ronaldo era, this was in fact a Real Madrid team that still struggled to score goals last season, having a particularly difficult time against oppositions that played in a low block. In response to the growing concerns that the club would continue to struggle even more going into this season as a result of not signing another forward, Ancelotti was quoted in responding : “It's not about signing a proven striker who scores 30 goals, but about implementing an offensive system and mentality, the lack of goals is an issue that can be resolved systematically” Real Madrid have done EXACTLY this and it’s no question as to how. This is a Real Madrid team that’s VERY different from ones of the past, the “big egos” of Galacticos like Ronaldo, Ramos, Casillas or Bale(even though he’s still in the squad) are simply not present in this edition. The least of Ancelotti’s job for this Madrid squad has been “managing egos” or personas and more to do with the task of implementing a system that solves problems of the past(scoring more, breaking down low blocks) along with integrating and further developing the younger and more inexperienced players that the club invested in(Vini, Rodrygo, Militao, Camavinga) He’s done an exemplary job at doing that, and he deserves a lot more credit than people are giving him.
SPOT ON
@@the_yb7 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The big difference at Real Madrid is that at the Bernabéu, the players work for the history of the club, and appear in it. It's not just tactics, but technique, courage with a single purpose, to add to the club's history. An example is that at the Bernabeu Cristinano was whistled when he did badly, something that never happened with Mesi at Barcelona. There are no myths but when they add to the history and when they no longer play. In the meantime, to work and to add victories, otherwise, no matter how good you are, you will be out. Madrid's philosophy

Adrian I’m loving you posting constantly as of late. Keep it up I love your vids!!
Recently, the CIES Football Observatory reported a ranking with the european clubs according to their net spending (spent - income) on transfer operations concluded over the last ten seasons.
MUnited, City and PSG top the table with a negative balance of more than one billion euro. Real Madrid ranks 25th with 178M€ net transfer spent (1163M€ spent and 984M€ income). Clubs like Leicester, Wolverhamptom, Brighton, Napoli or Wolfsburg have spent more than Real Madrid over the last ten years.
They have made, along with Bayern, way less signings than any other big club in Europe. We all know what RMA achieved these years. They are also always top 3 in revenue and in most valuable clubs lists, but media narrative usually tells us that Real Madrid is the bigger spender in the world and a club used to waste tons of money close to bankruptcy 🤦♂️
I remember Perez saying transfer fees are investments, while wages are expenses. They seem to work with that premise, and I think it worked out quite well for them.
Football royalty
Another great video Adrian. Keep it up! Hala RabonaTV!
Real Madrid is surely the club under more pressure, not just because they are expected to win as any other big club, but because of the media pressure. Club and players are always under constant media scrutiny and everything is magnified. Spanish media tend to be very very harsh and destructive with the club, almost every RMA player have been disrespected, despised and insulted on national media. Modric was so bad signing he was even named worst signing in LaLiga at the time. Bezema was not a striker for RMA and had no personality. Pundits still laugh at Vinicius almost on a daily basis. And I won’t even mention what they have said about Cristiano and Bale since they arrived. And same for managers, Zidane just made lineups, but he happened to have luck for 3 years, Mourinho was even called nazi.
I can imagine this is a lot of pressure for the players. Of course many struggle, can't stand it and end up leaving the club, but those who stay, turn out to have that mental strength not every player has. They surely feel the need to team up and prove others wrong.
Bayern, Liverpool, United, AC Milan, Juve, Barça, etc. all other giants are not under the same pressure, because the national media is not as destructive and disrespectful as the spanish media is in Madrid.
Combine this mental strength, the history of the club, and the fans always wanting you to fight until the end, and maybe you can get a season as incredible as this one. As they say: hasta el final, vamos Real!
Anyway, do not forget not every year is like this.
Quality vid mane
Totally agreed with everything you said 🔥🔥🔥
Philip lamh once said "Madrid can win any game with or without possession".
And the best thing about Madrid is that they never die never tremble even when the opponent keeps on pressing.
As a Madridsta i feel like i've aged 50 years.
Love it though 🤍🤍🤍
50? I'm already in the grave after this season
Hala Madrid ! I still get a sense that proper credit is not being given to both Ancellotti and Zidane. Ancellotti had a solid game plan and made the proper adjustments to win in these 2nd legs of the UCL. A great manager is open to receiving input from veteran players. The Man City 2nd leg upset was very revealing. Prior to the beginning of extra time, Carlos was cool, calm and reassuring, whereas Pep was high strung, giving lots of instructions and had a desperate, manic quality about him. Sometimes less is more and at the elite levels it’s about people skills.
It would be amazing if they win the final coming back at the 89 minute but I think Liverpool wouldnt make the mistakes of PSG, Chelsea and City
Especially when Liverpool has done the almighty Istanbul final, they of all people should know that it's only over when the Ref calls it and you need to be focused 100% until the whistle.

Anybody who thinks of winning the UCL must first think of beating Real. Real is one team that has mastered the knack of coming back and winning games in situations where even the most ardent supporters have lost hope. That's Real Madrid. Madrid is for Real.
I think Haaland knew that going to Real, would mean that he would not play in his favoured position. It's highly unlikely that he would/could take Karim's place at this stage. Coupled with the possible signing of Mbappe. Competition would be too high, whereas City doesn't have a number 9. Makes sense from a sporting perspective, of cause the financial reason can't be overlooked.

He wasn’t that bad at Napoli. He led them to UCL qualification and a round of 16 appearance in his 2nd year. Also during his 1st year Napoli were leading a UCL group with Liverpool & PSG on the final match day. Until they lost to eventual winners Liverpool and came in 3rd in the group.

How can it be great management, to be losing most of the game, ( not just losing, getting slapped around). And Chuck the kids on at the end of the game and hope. Wow that's genius
Tactics not his strength? A bit strange to make a claim like that, only because Ancelotti seems to have a more relaxed personality. At this level I don't think that there are too many differences in coaches' tactical abilities and we could see that in the recent UCL final. Also keep in mind that he is Italian, and they are known to be specialists in tactics. I can also recall a statement of Ancelotti in an interview some years ago when he said that he often spoke to Arrigo Sacchi before important matches.
Ancelotti is just different to other coaches. Klopp, Guardiola, Mourinho etc. are much more present in the media and they also are more extrovert types. I think it is just a matter of perception. But of course Ancelottis man management and leadership type is more relaxed but also puts more responsibility on the players. If he asks them for their opinion they will feel much more connected and involved. That might make the players take even higher efforts to be successful. That's how you lead, that's how you build a team.
I just have a disagree about "Ancelotti is made for top clubs only"
He succeeded with Reggina and Parma
And even at Everton it wasnt a failure : his season with the Toffees is by far the best for the club in the last 5 years.
So he only failed at Bayern (because of cultural incompatibility) and Napoli (I think, because he succeeded to Sarri who just created something perfect tactically with this group, I mean, who else could have 91 points with this team ?)
But Ancelotti can win with smaller team.
But you're right on something : Ancelotti CANT manage Everton like Real.
But he didnt. Like CR7 said "I heard that with Milan there was a lot of tactical work, because it's the italian culture. With Real, he made very few tactical sessions. And it's good because we didnt need it."
from being ridiculed bcs of their loss to Sheriff, a nobody, to UCL champions beating literally the biggest clubs in the world throughout the knockout stages up until final
Thank you for call it football
Respect for Real Madrid. Benzema is a Beast.
Just watching this makes me want to play for Madrid lol if I had the talent but I am enjoying being a fan so we are all good... That's why I was never a fan of Mourinho even though he is a great coach he makes everything about himself and his dressing room is not the most healthy... While Ancelotti gives credit to his players even taking advice that technique is used at my job as well believe me my managers always know how to make me perform at my best.
11:08 I'm always annoyed when I hear people say this, to me this is clear indication of someone not actually having watched Ancelotti/his teams enough. Simple logic here, you cannot have the career carlo has had without being brilliant tactically. He's known as the professor (tite before joining Brazil, said he went to Europe to learn the 433/442 under carlo). Another logic, you don't get handed over good squad if you haven't proven yourself. I guess what happens is, people look at his excellent man management & sort of ignore the rest. You cannot be this successful by man management alone. Simple.
ditto! Don Carlo is a tactical giant but keeps getting this stupid slander because people worship at the altars of "gegenpressing" and "tiki-taka". Similar to Zidane, who wins a never-been-even-conceived-of-before 3peat and still gets labeled as a "man-manager". it's a crazy world out there fr.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but habit - Aristotle
It sounds funny when people disregard top coaches not being a tactitian.Most coaches in this age have a team of staff for tactics , training ,coaches for throwins penalty freekicks .A coach has a philosophy and the tactics follow accordingly.To say a coach is not tactical straight away is silly .
Very true about Ancelotti and Zidane. Similar histories and similar approach to big clubs. Perhaps Zidane knows this and is the reason why he's waiting on the France National position. Similar setup and similar culture.
Their run ends on the 28th May
If I wanna get paid a lot of money and win easy trophies I go to psg but if I want to be part of history I go to Madrid
Adrian man, you make some beautiful videos
Hala Madrid
#🤞4thefinal
If you think about the form since Liverpool vs Manchester City at the Etihad , Liverpool have played better in the 2nd half then the 1st. The have played like headless chickens mostly in the 1st halves and needed tough love by Jurgen at half time . So I think Liverpool need to play defensively for the 1st half in the Final to throw Real off their game plan and play the second half to win 1-0 like a Jose Mourinho esqe .
Lol you know that's never going to happen...Klopp and the boys like their heavy metal football too much
@@chrundlethegreat2251 They had like 35% possession in the 2019 CL final. They parked the bus after Salah scored that penalty. That's why the final was so boring
@@user-cg2tb9or2l what's your point?
Frankly i feel haaland will play at one point in his career for Real just not now. Karim can still deliver for 2 years . Haaland is 21 and his current contract for 5 years takes him till 26 … he’ll only get better
But just like with Mbappe, oil money is too hard to resist. They'll keep haaland as long as money can catch his eye.
@@yogi2983 i dont think so .. ppl has better ffp restrictions. Not just that Haaland ain't Mpaypal 🤣
.. Cheers to you ..
Just to book mark this video for Saturday.
This video was right
@@Abdullm2 yep. I can’t be right every time :)
@@paulbourguignon3632
Nobody can always be right all the time. And if you were you would be bored of it soon lol
Why would you mention camawinga, before Fede valverede as a young unknown talkent bought who developed at Madrid is beyond me… I mean camawinga was already a world class talent in France.
At this point he should own half of one football 😂
Who is here after Real Madrid won their record extended 14th UCL title?
