This was an incredible time in football. You will never see El Clasico at that peak again. The atmosphere and energy leading up to the Clasicos was crazy! Even people that didn't watch football tuned it to watch...it was beautiful. The whole world tuned in!
For like 10 years they were averaging 50/60 goals each every season, that's unseen, while the rest of the elite forwards were averaging 25/30. That's how insane they were, they could have in a season more goals then a whole top 10 team front line of forwards.
Yeah. A 30 goal per season striker in a top 5 league would fetch ~ €100m. That's an elite bracket. These guys were aliens. For my money, they're the 2 greatest footballers who ever lived. It was a privilege to watch them do their thing. (even if Messi did put a fair few past my own team in the Champions League during that time 🤷♂️)
By the time Ronaldo went to Madrid he had already won everything with Man U. Including individual awards Also it’s Real Madrid. everyone always dreams of playing for Real Madrid
Where i play 2nd div football a loss means running after the game, 3 days of physyical training without the ball, and depending on the scoreline we might need to hitchhike home. No cap some senior players had to walk or hike 60 miles after a 5-0,nevertheless to say it didn't happen again haha
And other trophies 🏆 during last four stages of the knockout stages tie goes to 30mins extra time n then if no one scored above the other team penalties shootouts
Ronaldo x Messi was the greatest era of football. They are healthy rivals and their rivalry was something different, something unique, something from a epic movie, book. Nobody could have predicted this. I rember all of this happening all over the years. You could go to any place on this planet and people would know about Cristiano vs Messi, people would watch each one of their El Clássicos and Champions League matches, I remember being surprised many times with the things these two did. One day Messi was saving Argentina and Barcelona and the world was saying he was better. Literally the next day Ronaldo would show up and save his club or country. This happened many times throughout the years. I remember working and at my workplace, at the streets, at the mall, at the bar and restaurant people where watching and suddenly you hear the reaction... It was Cristiano doing something crazy or Messi doing something crazy... Oh man... You have no idea how great this sport is. You can go anywhere on the planet and people know how to play, they understand the culture, if they don't they ar least know who these two are and exactly how great they are. Keep driving on this sport. You won't regreat it. You can have many good moments throughout your lives watching or playing in real life or even at videogame. I bet even the USA will be on fire during the World Cup. Go out and watch any World Cup match. Even if the game isn't as good the importance of it and the world literally stopping to pay attention to it will make it a giant game. Half of the planet watch the World Cup, it's a short, dense and intense thing. I honestly can't wait. I love other sports too, I love the NBA and NFL but you can't match something this popular, this big, this historically rich. Each country have it's particular history, football culture, football style, football philosophy etc. It's something amazing. You should try to learn about the different clubs and fans all over the world, just an overall view of the map of football. Each of these teams have millions and millions of fans. I would say that at least 200 clubs have more than 1 million fans on Earth, some have 50 million fans or more.
@@ragnarok283 nah, it's just Ronaldo and Messi are too dominance that make the others to be unseen.... There is no way Players such Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Suarez, Neymay, Bale, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Iniesta, Xavi, Modric are ordinary.... Nah they are amazing but once again Messi&Ronaldo are on another level....
Between 2008 and 2018 only 3 teams other than Ronaldos Real Madrid and Manchester United or Messis FC Barcelona won the Champions League trophy (Inter Milan 2010, Chelsea London 2012, Bayern Munich 2013). Between 2008 and 2021 the Ballon d'Or (MVP) was only given to Luca Modric (2018) other than them both. There is almost no record they didn't break. But for me this duel was so amazing, because both sides were so different: Messi is the technical player, Ronaldo the more physical player. Messis talent was 'given by god', Ronaldo is maybe the hardest working player there is or was. Ronaldo is the flashy celebrity, dating super models. Messi is the quiet kind of guy, with the same girl back from his city in Argentina. "[For FC Barcelona...] Winning becomes less important, because it is important to win in the “right way”.In Madrid, winning is the ultimate goal. The club exists to win." Both of the players fitted perfectly the style of their teams: At that time, many players of Barcelona came from the region and/or their own academy. They played beautiful football as a team (TikiTaka). Real is always going for an all-star team (galacticos). The style of Madrid was more straight forward an aggressive. Real Madrid is the Club of the spanish capital and the king of Spain (Real..), FC Barcelona the team of Catalonia, a region which wants to separate from Spain. This wasn't only a fight between two different players, but between two clubs with different ideologies from two different regions in Spain with political history. At their peak.
That El Classico era was without a doubt greatest footballing era ever in terms of rivalry..Neymar Messi Suarez iniesta Xavi pique Ronaldo benzema bale cassilas Marcelo di Maria Ozill ramos…all were on their peak of their powers
Just imagine that 2 different days when this two Legends announce their Retirement from Football..😪 I can't hold my tears specially when Ronaldo retires because I'm a huge fan of him but i will be sad for Messi's too.😔 I can't imagine Football without this two Great players who ever played this game...🐐🙏🐐
CR7 never move from good situation to a good situation . When he joined these clubs though they have good history of records but he meet them in a struggleing state he never met them in their glory rather he brought back that glory to the clubs . That is the CR7 effect . The goat
I’m 33…. In all my time watching every el Classico since 1996…. These two are the best ever this was the peak of football, nothing will come close. I remember thinking every time they played… this is special. Goosebumps
Man this gives me nostalgia and goosebumps .. Early 90s kids will understand growing up with these two legends, I remember in 2009/2010 I was a highschool freshman, the whole world was already following CR7 in Man United and following Messi in Barcelona. The day CR7 joined Real Madrid was like a dream come true to everyone, not just football enthusiasts. I am not that crazy about football myself but these two legends made everyone love the game again, from all ages and throughout the whole world. The day El Classico was on, everyone was watching it, all coffeeshops were packed, the whole city was holding its breath, literally everyone was fan of both legends and because of that they loved the teams they were playing for. I get tears in my eyes when I remember these days, of course the day Messi left for PSG and CR7 left for Juve was a very sad day in football. In my opinion, it even sadder for Messi because he went to a country that is not really interesting in terms of teams etc. However, CR7 went for Italy which has more exciting games + he was still breaking records there and now he's back home at Man United, at a time where there is Mo Salah at Liverpool, another magnificent player which makes everyone wants to watch a legend VS a superstar. The same scenes of packed coffeeshops went back, and a lot of people currently are watching England but on a lower level that was in CR7 vs Messi days, that was a time that will really never happen again in football history.
28:20 yes you can tie in football. In playoff competitions you can't tie if it's a single game playoffs. If it's home and away match playoff you can tie only the first match. When ties aren't allowed the matches goes into extra time, two halfs of 15 minutes each and if the tie continue the game ends on penalties.
Fun Fact: Ronaldo’s son “Ronaldo Jr” idolize Messi and Messi’s son Thiago idolize Ronaldo. Also Ronaldo's 869 days older than Messi, the same age difference between their sons
Please react to lafc vs la galaxy first ever derby by copa90. Have some pride in your home country and at least react to it to see what the sport is like here in the states
Thank you so much. I don't if it was a bug but right now it appears in 720p, great quality. Thank you for posting so frequently. I'll always support the channel. React to Cristiano Ronaldo return to Man Utd.
every league has its own clasicos and the atmosphere is fire in all of them.. some leagues clasicos atmosphere is so intense that rival fans arent even allowed in the stadium
That point system is la liga, 20 clubs playing eachother, 3 points win 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss , the most points is the champion of la liga
I went to the “el clásico” in Miami a few years ago and I can tell you the atmosphere was insane. I woke up the next day with a sore throat and barely being able to speak from all the screaming
There can be ties in a game, but it depends on what type of match is being played. Nick is right about the point system. That gets used in all the domestic leagues: Premier League, La liga, Serie A etc. However in champions league and the other cup-formats there is a knockout stage. If a tie happens in those games they usually play till a winner has been decided. Thats when extra-time (added 30'minutes after the initial 90*) gets into play. Hope that helps:)
This video makes it seem normal for 2 players to continually win the Ballon D'or, it is completely abnormal and miraculous. Ballon D'or is basically 'footballer of the year'. Prior to Messi/Ronaldo era, there was a different player every year pretty much, and no one has won more than 3, except Ronaldo/Messi who between themselves won it about 10 years in a row.
Crazy thing is that we have both of them AT THE SAME TIME!!! Not only that... THEY WERE RIVALS in the SAME league! We can only dream that this will happen again...
These games are insane countries shut down just because of a game going on in another continent...The feeling is nervousness like you want to shit a brick.... It's crazy, parties are thrown streets are shut down and beurocracy breaks down, sometimes even fireworks and loud ass vouvouzelas. when Finals of games come around... Especially the world cup Everyone is involved.... I've never seen a single superball game other than the halftime show but wherever I travel to that love football it's always wild.
Football is a beautiful sport. I love how 1 team can have like 10 different nationalities and still play the beautiful football language is not a barrier.
@@dunsonhouse 11:00 the teams very often decide the clothes players use before the match. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't used the suit because he wanted but bacause Manchester United in that final chose to go pre match with suits on, this is common for many clubs in important games, normally Champions League finals.
American here, I’m a Barca fan and my fam is Real Madrid fan. We’re a “soccer” family and watched every el classico and after every one we would go play ball outside bc we were inspired
He actually wanted to play for Real Madrid for a while it was always a dream of his, he had been planning on leaving earlier but Ferguson convinced him to stay for another few seasons. Those turned out to be his best seasons at Man U
Ronaldo is from Iberia (Portugal/Spain), and for most young Iberian boys their dream is to play for Real Madrid one day. That's why Ronaldo transferred at the time. At the time Manchester United were stronger than Real Madrid.
Messi has a gift, to play football. Is something that a few players have it. Like Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff and Messi (My POV) Ronaldo had to work a lot to be similar on level with Messi. Both have merit and is difficult to stay on the top, but these guys are in the top since 00’s
But also people forge that you need to have talent to be like Ronaldo ,hard work alone will not make you to get the same level as Ronaldo ,the fact that as a teenagers was already widely knws show that he already had huge talent. He might not have the same talent as messi but he def has still huge talent ,I don’t want people to confuse by making seem that just by hard work u can get to his level .
In this time Real Madrid vs Barcelona Was the biggest match in the World, im from Spain and i can say that el clásico Was fucking crazy, You could see that the atmósphere in all the country changed, i swear those Days Was something really special
Privildged to have watched both of their careers in full. Genuinely don't believe ANYTHING will compare to Messi/Ronaldo. It's impossible, they're just built completely different, new ballers don't have the determination, let alone the skill.
Guys remember it this way it will be very easy: 1-If it is a league game you get : 3 points for the win 1 point for the tie 0 points for the loss 2- If it is in a Cup game i.e(Champions league/Copa Del Rey in Spain/FA cup in England etc) there can be no ties in the game. It either is a home and away game( you can tie the first game but if the second is tied you go to extra time and then penalties) or you play the extra time and penalties directly because a winner must be determined. So in conclusion ties in league games give you 1 point and ties in cup games will go to over time and penalty shootouts because a winner has to be determined beceause only 1 will qualify. (Added time and overtime are not the same. Added time is the added time of the time wasted in the half regularly its about 3-4 minutes. Can be 1 minute or even 5-6 depends on the game because the clock doesnt stop in football even if the play does).
I remember in elementary school the El Classicos were played on channels we didn't have in my country. The next day in IT class I went on youtube and watched all the highlights I could find that's how important and legendary these games were.
I can’t imagine how the last match of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi 😭💔 Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time 🐐 respect to Messi for me he is the 2nd greatest. But we have to enjoy their greatness until there here because they will retire this decade. We will never see a player like them ever again the same two guys in the top level of football for 15+ years this is unthinkable stuffs, we argue who is the best but we can’t dined their greatness every single games we all have different opinions about them but we have to respect for what they are. I’m not ready for they’re retirement that last game will be the emotional game of all time. All of the football fans will cry even who don’t know them will cry because of their greatness on what they do on the football field that we never seen before. Respect Ronaldo Respect Messi Their both our goat’s 🐐x🐐
I've been to a classico in 2017! The score was 3-1 Ronaldo did a beautiful far long distance goal ascensio too and Messi scored a pen but what a game!!
Both legend story make me goosebumps every-time both have so much hard-work to get up to this fame. Ronaldo face poverty never loose hope and believe in himself. M10❤️ Cr7
That is one reason why the world see a great player of all time in CR7. Like every single tale surrounding him is enough to ruin a player's changes to stardom rather these challenges were his courage, his strength . From his mother wanting to abort him to him leaving home at 11years, playing with clubs and national team that were struggling to get their game up for trophies . Yet he shone through with blasting brightness, standing in the place of legend . He is born for this . This is what a great player and a goat looks like . He inspires everyone to reach for the star . And I feel his life is divinely designed to show a generations that are looking for the easy way out that hard work pays and if you set your mind on it you can make it . He did . He is truly a hero for ever age .
Talking about football's atmosphere, I think it would be very cool for you to react to Copa 90's mini documentary about the Superclassico (River Plate x Boca Juniors) in Argentina. It's the biggest rivalry here in South America and the guys from Copa 90 really did a great job on explaining the reasons for that. Understanding how rivalries (like Barça vs Madrid in the video) are formed and experienced in football is key to understanding the soul of the sport, it's awesome! Great video as always, guys! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷💛
By the time ronaldo moved to real madrid he had already won everything he could at Manchester United. His reason for leaving was pretty much that it was a dream to play for Real Madrid.
El Clásico is (alongside Liverpool vs Manchester United) the biggest and most watched club football match each season because they are two of the biggest clubs in world football. I went to my first and only el clasico 2 years ago at the Bernabéu (Real Madrid’s stadium). The atmosphere was incredible. Both teams and the Spanish league in general aren’t as strong as they used to be. In the era of Messi and CR7, the Spanish league was the best in the world by far. Now it is the premier league. Love the growth of your channel. Keep up the good work. Oh and the Golden Ball trophies you kept seeing in the vid is the Balon D’or or World Player of the Year award. It is the award given to the best player in the world each season. During the late 2000s it was basically shared between Messi and CR7 as they were posting up ridiculous scoring records season dates season. They set a level that has never been seen before in the history of football which goes back over 100 years. Most players score around 20 - 25 goals in one season. That used to be the average and even then only a handful of players could achieve it do. For a period of about 5 years, Messi and CR7 were scoring 50 goals and more EVERY season. Just incredible.
You're right mate, points win the league. But also in cup competitions which are tournaments, you have to knock other teams out until you win in the final. If these games are a tie, then extra time of 30 mins and penalties will decide if no difference in scoreline after extra 30. In the league it's 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 if you lose. Then the 'goal difference' (goals scored - goals conceded) will decide it. Also, you guys should watch some goalkeeper saves I like how you appreciate the defense haha
It’s honestly a beautiful/sad feeling knowing two greats will no longer be playing the beautiful game most of us grew up loving anymore. Even though it was considered a rivalry, you have to tip your hat to them both. There will never be a period like that in football where two greats dominated the game by both being the best players for their respected clubs. That time frame of them two just winning the ballon d’or is just an example of how both of them are on a different level than most.
In barcelona, you see people around the stadium shouting like 10 hours before the game. Fireworks, highly-crowded stadium. Craziness just to see them both
Magic and Bird all over again. That's the best analogy to basketball. Those two battled each other for years and were always at the top of the NBA until Bird messed up his back badly, Magic got HIV and lost Kareem, and Jordan finally got some help on the Bulls.
When at the end of the season there is a tie between clubs, they will look at the goal difference (total goals scored - total goals against) and the team with the best goal difference will win the league. One exception is tournaments. In a tournament like the Champions League, Europa league, domestic cup... they'll let a game go to overtime if it's a tie and penalties if it's still not decided after the overtime
did you know that the campnou stadium in barcelona has a capacity of 99'636 spectators. In 1980, during a World Cup in Spain, an additional tier was built to accommodate 119'000 spectators. the bernabeau stadium in madrid has a capacity of 81'044 spectators.
to explain it simply there's a cup competition with knockout stages. Here there will be no draws as the tournament needs to go on to get 1 winner. In the league we have draws that count for 1 point since there's no elimination
Some rules about the point-system and cup-system in European club football: In the competition: 3 points for the win. 1 point for a draw. And if in the end of the competition, if 2 clubs have the same points, then they look a the goal difference. Or at the results they played against each other. ( but it depends on wich country, or league, rules are sometimes different ) In the national cup: Win the game you go go the other round. Draw: extra time 30min, if its still a draw then penalty's Or the play a home and away game. (again it depends in wich country or league) Final is 1 game. National supercup: League winners against cup winners holders. (Spain 2 games, rest in Europe 1 game) European cup: They play a groupstage without 4 teams, so 3x away and 3x home matches. Best 2 clubs qualify for knock out stage. (KO) In the knock out stage, 1/8 1/4 1/2 finales. Its home and away games. (who scored the most goals go's the next round) Draw in both games: extra time in second game, if its still a draw the penalty's. Final is 1 game, in a neutral city in europe. There 3 European cups divisions. Champions league: the best of the best teams in europe. (nr 1, 2,3 of the top league's, smaller league's have 1 or 2 teams or play KO games to qualify before it al begins in september ) Europa league: the teams under the Champions league teams. (winner qualify's also direct for the new champions league season) Confederations league: the clubs under Europa league clubs. European supercup: (first game at the start of every new european season) The winner from the Champions league plays against the Europa league winner. 1 game in a other country. Hope this helps you guys how it works. Bless
U can argue if Messi or Ronaldo was better but the truth is we will never see such dominance like we saw with these 2. 15+ years of them playing at a really high level. Crazy
i first used to like messi so much, cause im like his height and than i switched up to ronaldo bro, im not gonna lie, i love both of them. in my town i play like messi style but shit ronaldo i like how he is and thats my personality too so its hard to pick, but my heart always says Ronaldo 🔥💯
I remember my favorite el Classico that I watched live was the one where Messi had a black eye and bloody mouth. The score was 3-2 for Barcelona. The game was so intense from the beginning right through the end. Madrid opens up the score 1-0 in the first half and then near the end of the first half Messi scored to make it 1-1. And then in the 2nd half Barcelona took the lead 2-1 but then Madrid tied it again 2-2. At that moment everyone practically thought that the game will end in a tie. But then at the last second Messi scored the winning goal to make the score 3-2. I remember having goosebumps watching that game.
Messi did go into the academy system a bit earlier than Ronaldo. On top of that, he went to the best academy in the entire world. He was definitely moulded from very young to be what he is. There was no better footballing education than the one he received at La Masia - and they mould the youngsters to play the Barcelona way.
29:30 at the last game of the season the team who is in top will win the league title so Barcelona was on top and real Madrid needed 2 or 3 points (i guess) to get on the top of the table so tie means its 1 point to both teams so after the game Barcelona still remain at top and real Madrid failed to catch them that's why the game didn't went to extra time
React to Uefa Champions league finals 2000-2020 This is the biggest club competition. Winning it means you the best team in the world. A reaction to such a video will give ya'll an idea of which football clubs are boss, and also how other clubs were once great but now have fallen.
In league-system competitions, the point system is in place, and ties grant 1 point for each side. In knock-out rounds, you have either home and away games, or one single game. If it is home and away, a tie can take place, but if another team won the other game, then that team advances. If both teams won one game, it can come down to the total number of goals in both matches. Or if both games are tied, it can come down to who scored more visitor goals. But there are times where you can go to OT at the end of the second game if everything is tied, counting both games. In a single knockout games, someone has to win, so if there is a tie in 90 mins, OT will take place. And if there is still a tie at the end of OT, they go to penalties. It's kind of complicated at first, especially understanding "away goals", and the way different leagues and tournaments have different rules. Regarding whether two teams end up tied in a league point system, yes that has happened many times. The tie-breaker depends on that league's rules. In Spain, the tie-breaker is the direct duel between the two teams. For example, in 2007, Real Madrid and Barcelona were tied in points at the end of the season. But in their direct games, Real Madrid won one, and the other one was a tie, so Real Madrid was crowned champion. In other leagues, if there is a tie, the tie-breaker can be the total difference between goals scored and received throughout the whole season.
Mookie is right about Messi in the beginning of the vid. Since 10 he was molded to be one of the greatest at Barca. That´s nothing negative. Just a fact. He had the mentality for it😉✌🏽
english premier is the best now. ever since ronaldo left real madrid, the spanish league isnt good anymore. but when ronaldo was at real madrid, thats when spanish league was the best.
The point system is used in the league matches. if your team wins, that 3 points gained but if y'all are tied after the game is over, that's 1 point gained for both teams. if it's in other competitions, then its a knockout system so if it's tied at the end, they play some extra minutes and even go to penalty shoot outs to determine who wins.
Ferguson, who managed Ronaldo for six years at Old Trafford, told snooker champion John Parrott per The Mirror: "People say who is the best player in the world? And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion. "But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers... anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it. "Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player." -sir Alex Ferguson. Greatest manager of all time! Messi is dog water right now at psg! You take him away from Barcelona he’s nothing, ronaldo can do what he does in any league!
Do you have a smooth brain or something? Both players can do it in any league don't be fucking ridiculous. If Messi had gone to Man City he would be top scorer and assister... PSG are poorly managed by Pochettino because he is not a tactical genius like Pep, Tuchel, or Conte. Ronaldo celebrates as if he's won the champions league every time he scores off goalkeeper mistakes. don't comment your opinion unless you understand football.
Who's the best player in last 4 years between them? Can i know? someone won 2 ballon d'ors,golden boots, playmaker awards while other one chilling with dubai d'or and crying in social media after watching his rivals achievements
@@fullchicken4492 understand football? What level have you ever got to at playing football!?😂😂 you Arabs need to get of messi nuts. Absolute dog water. He was made for Barcelona, not for any other type of football. I’ve spoke facts, you on the other hand are making assumptions.
@@hpsauce9608 arabs? You realize that Cristiano wins dubai d’or every fucking year right? 😂 any fan that lives around there or is Indians like you is an invalid fan. They don’t know shit about ball if they think Ronaldo is worth even mentioning for the past 4 years 💀
@@hpsauce9608 Ronaldo will never be the Messi. What makes players like Messi, Maradona, Zidane etc great is they are best or top 2 in 80 percentage of match they plays in their best years ,in case of CR the ratio he is top 2 is far worse. He is a top tier goalscorer never top tier attacking player like Messi/ Maradona. Thats the reason why Cristiano don't have half the motm awards when football sites analyse the stats. And Now both are liabilities,, without Messi psg is better,with CR poacher role teams are going down , liabilities two different ways.
At the time Real Madrid were buying all the biggest players in world football, they were nicknamed the GALACTICOS the best players in every position in one team. When Madrid bought Ronaldo, he was the current world best player at the time so it was bound to happen. Barcelona had the best players as well. He hence a match between Madrid and Barcelona was the greatest but however the rest of the teams in the Spanish league are weak, whilst the Premier league pretty much all the teams in the league are very strong
I dont think La liga is worse than Premier League. La Liga is more competitive and technical. Premier is the biggest show of planet football. It got all the money. There´s no even competion when we refers to spectacle But still Sevilla Atletico Barcelona and Obviously Real Madrid managed during the last 15 years to steal a massive number of the most important European Championships.. La Liga owned among all the others leagues in Europe.
Incorrect. Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Villarreal are not "weak" or weaker than most EPL teams. The bottom half of both La Liga and EPL could beat each other on any given day. And the top teams of both leagues have all done well against each other in Europe. You can even see this in UEL performance in the last 10 years, (where some of the "rest" play each other). EPL teams have won 3 times, where as La Liga teams have won it 7 times. Fans of EPL have a habit of looking at football through tunnel vision, often morphing the other leagues into one "shit league" when in fact it's not at all true. If you had said Ligue 1? sure, we all know PSG is just showing up for UCL practice each week. But, La Liga is not the same.
@@marcopelaezfernandez4573 i stand to be corrected. What I was trying to say is the EPL has the most entertaining football matches in all of the leagues in Europe. Personally I feel like in the EPL you can watch the bottom table teams and still be entertained whilst in other leagues like Spain and Italy yo can't say the same.
Watching Cristiano vs Messi was so hype... even I started watching Soccer. 13:00 - The reason was Real Madrid, from the time he was at Sporting Lisbon, they wanted Cristiano, and they wanted him bad... and after a stint in Manchester and this and that... nothing was going to stop this combo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid from happening... he was at the time the most expensive transfer (team buys player, then negotiates contract): 94 Million EUR, a contract worth 77 Million EUR (11 Million EUR from 2009 - 2015), and a buyout clause worth 1 Billion Euro. Long story short, Real Madrid bought Ronaldo from Manchester, because they wanted him BAD (like downbad). And he wanted it too... Madrid is a club with pedigree like no other professional club (not to knock Manchester United).
Ronaldo at United already had won everything. Plus Real Madrid made a record offer for the time and united took the money. In the next years Real would build the team that won 3UCL in a row
Ronaldo move to real madrid is a huge deal with a lot of money involved and placed him at the top of the highest transfer real madrid and the world ever made surpassing kakà back then I believe, that's one of the reason I think
yeh in Domestic League games(Prem/La Liga etc) and Champions/Europe Group stage games you get 1 point for a tie/draw. In But Knockout cups games are decided that day (mostly, I will describe directly below the usual format, but for information on when it is different see the "***Extra detail English Cups" section at the very bottom regarding FA CUP and League Cup) : Domestic Cups (FA Cup, Copa del Rey etc) you have extra time at a Level scoreline at 90mins (2 extra halves of 15 mins) if still level you have Penalty shootout (5 chosen penalty takers, and after that sudden death through the rest of your team until 1 team s ahead after a round of Penalty's is complete, 1 round = 1 penalty per team). Domestic cups are usually 1 match per Knockout round (like a playoff) the fixtures are drawn at random so you may be home ground or the oppositions home ground , it is what it is, the Final (and sometimes Semi's) are held in a Neutral ground usually the National Stadium (in England''s case the FA cup and League Cup finals are held at Wembley) The Champions League and Europa League have a group stage which is a mini league, group of 4 teams 6 games per team, home and away with each other team in the group 3pts =win, 1pt Draw/tie 0=Loss, top 2 from each group through too Knockout stage (3rd place teams go into Europe League Knockout and play Europa League Group stage winners/runners up) Knock out Stage: 3 Knock out stages which are 2 legs (meaning 2x 90 minute matches, 1 at each teams Home ground) If at the end of the 2nd leg the teams are still level they go to Extra Time (2x15 mins halves) and then a penalty shootout (as above) Then a Final which is a one off game at a predetermined venue (known at the start of the season) The Final is 90mins of football, 2 x15 mins halves if still level, and then Penalty Shootout (as above) The Final's Venue (Europa League and Champions League) Basically one of the great Football stadiums in Europe, occasionally a team gets to the Final that happens to be held at their Home ground, this is very rare though Bayen Munich had this in the last few years but were beaten by Chelsea in the Champions League final on Bayern's own ground International Football Tournaments (World Cup, European Championship, AFCON, Copa America, etc) These are a bit like the Champions League Group stage, which is a mini league, the Knockout stages (usually 4 or 5 Knockout rounds), but slight differences. The Competition is held in a different country each time (bit like the Olympics, they have a host country), Sometimes its 2 nations joint hosting. The Stadiums are the best Football Stadiums in the Country(s), so only the host nations are in Home grounds, the rest are technically "away". In the Group Stages 4 teams, only play each other once this time so there are 3 games in a group stage each team has to play (3 pts win and 1 pt draw/tie 0 pt loss) Then (usually) the top 2 from each group through to Knock Out stages. Then its 1 off games winner progresses to the net round. The Knock out in International games is like Domestic cups (FA Cup) single 90 mins games , 2 x15 mins Halves if still level, then Penalty Shootout if still level. * Extra detail about when things are not as above International There are exceptions to this in similar competitions around the world, and the exceptions are usually down to pool size meaning how many teams are involved. Sometimes in Group stages you have top teams go through and only the 4 highest 2nd place teams (league stats) this happens in competitions with smaller number of teams than 32 (so Oceanic continental competition is probably like this, so countries like Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Island nations.. Papua New Guinea etc etc). Th European Championship used to be like this but they increased the number of nations taking part ***Extra detail English Cups The League Cup in England is different to most cup competitions in that its single game Knock out stages, which is normal but the Semi Finals are for some reason 2 legs, a bit like Champions league Knock out stages, but they are talking about changing that, making it 1 leg each stage of the Knock out, because the Final,it goes back to 1 leg Also Th FA Cup and the League Cup (and other domestic cups around the world) have Replays for tied games in early rounds. If the first match is tied, then a replay happens. The first game is by draw chosen to be Home for a Team, if they draw that game it will be replayed a week or so later at the other teams home ground. This only happens in early rounds and only on the first game,if the replay is tied, it goes to Extra Time (2 x15 min halves if tied) and then Penalty shootout if still Draw/tie.
Growing up I was a CR7 fanboy but as I got older and studied Messi’s game I’ve realized he’s out of this world…Pique is a Barcelona player who played with both CR7 & LM10 and he said “ Ronaldo is the best of the Humans but Messi is an Extraterrestrial”
here we got another one of those, who has to say he is fan of Ronaldo just to say Messi is better these species of animals are all over the internet just sad to watch them desperately trying to prove their point 😭🧢
@@PassportBro_ The biggest lie is "Messi is out of the world" Messi started his career in one of the biggest club in the world with one of the best players in the world Ronaldo didn't. now that's facts.
@@Roadto15RealMadrid My parents are from Madrid so I grew up being a huge fan of him but since my playstyle is closer to Messi’s I started to watch his highlights and that’s when I came to the conclusion. Not to deminish CR7 greatness after all CR7 & LM10 are the Football Goats without a doubt. Cheers man
For tournaments and playoffs and stuff think of it as a 2 game series and you combine both scores together whoever has more goals wins. And as for regular season a win is 3 points a tie is 1 point a loss is 0 points
In regular league matches you can tie matches but it only counts as 1 point for both teams if they tie, 3 points for a win and 0 points for a loss. In knockout phases of tournaments and championship matches there is no ties, play till you win or go to penalty kicks and win. There is no playoffs in the league (except for mls which is the American soccer league), who ever has the most points at the end of the season wins the league.
Yeah one thing I wish we had in football, is something like the Nba all star games, that would be so entertaining, with all the little mini games or contests before the main game, oh my goodness.
Cristiano once said he wanted to win as many trophies as he can and the only team to that with was real Madrid, he broke all records whilst his will probably never be broken
So y'all can understand better Barcelona's current situation y'all should whatch a vid called "HOW the world's best team imploded | FC Barcelona" Keep the good reacttions coming!!!!
The point system goes like this. A win = 3 points A draw = 1 point A loss = 0 points So if a team wins a game 1-0 or 2-0 or whatever other scoreline, they get 3 points. So if on the table they had 10 points, after the win, they would have 13 points. If the draw either 1-1 or 2-2 then both teams are awarded a point each. If one of the teams had 5 points, after the draw they would have 6 points. If a team loses then they don't get awarded any points. If it's a league match and the game ends in a tie, both teams get a point each, that's it. However if they're playing a cup match and have reached the knockout stages, a tie would result into extra time where the referee adds on 30min of gametime. If they still end up in a tie after those 30min, they go into a penalty shootout to determine the winner who the proceeds to the next stage of the cup competition.
In the la liga, if you win you get 3 points, if you draw (2-2) or (0-0) you get 1 point each team and 0 for loss. If two teams have the same points at the end of the season it goes on "goal difference" which that takes account for who wins. The team with the highest goal difference wins. So if Real Madrid had 90 points, Scored 70 goals and had 20 past them then their difference is 50. And that's the basis of who wins if they have same points.
Madrid just made a bid . A record 100 mil . Manchester accepted . And when comes calling who can say no . A win win situation . Historically Real Madrid is the most successful club in Europe . Everyone wants to play there. All thanks to Alfredo Di Stefano 🐐 legend
This was an incredible time in football. You will never see El Clasico at that peak again. The atmosphere and energy leading up to the Clasicos was crazy! Even people that didn't watch football tuned it to watch...it was beautiful. The whole world tuned in!
Facts!😢
I just get goosebumps thinking of the build up alone
That era was a really magical experience!! 🔴🔵
@@RedLorryYellowLorry_ me too
Pep vs mourinho was the best the atmosphere just was different
For like 10 years they were averaging 50/60 goals each every season, that's unseen, while the rest of the elite forwards were averaging 25/30. That's how insane they were, they could have in a season more goals then a whole top 10 team front line of forwards.
Yeah. A 30 goal per season striker in a top 5 league would fetch ~ €100m. That's an elite bracket.
These guys were aliens. For my money, they're the 2 greatest footballers who ever lived.
It was a privilege to watch them do their thing. (even if Messi did put a fair few past my own team in the Champions League during that time 🤷♂️)

"more training" AHAHAHAHAHAH IM CRYING LMAO
Where i play 2nd div football a loss means running after the game, 3 days of physyical training without the ball, and depending on the scoreline we might need to hitchhike home. No cap some senior players had to walk or hike 60 miles after a 5-0,nevertheless to say it didn't happen again haha
And other trophies 🏆 during last four stages of the knockout stages tie goes to 30mins extra time n then if no one scored above the other team penalties shootouts
The best rivalry ever. Never missed a clasoco 2 of them played in. It was lit yall
Ronaldo x Messi was the greatest era of football. They are healthy rivals and their rivalry was something different, something unique, something from a epic movie, book. Nobody could have predicted this.
I rember all of this happening all over the years. You could go to any place on this planet and people would know about Cristiano vs Messi, people would watch each one of their El Clássicos and Champions League matches, I remember being surprised many times with the things these two did. One day Messi was saving Argentina and Barcelona and the world was saying he was better. Literally the next day Ronaldo would show up and save his club or country. This happened many times throughout the years. I remember working and at my workplace, at the streets, at the mall, at the bar and restaurant people where watching and suddenly you hear the reaction... It was Cristiano doing something crazy or Messi doing something crazy... Oh man... You have no idea how great this sport is. You can go anywhere on the planet and people know how to play, they understand the culture, if they don't they ar least know who these two are and exactly how great they are.
Keep driving on this sport. You won't regreat it. You can have many good moments throughout your lives watching or playing in real life or even at videogame. I bet even the USA will be on fire during the World Cup. Go out and watch any World Cup match. Even if the game isn't as good the importance of it and the world literally stopping to pay attention to it will make it a giant game. Half of the planet watch the World Cup, it's a short, dense and intense thing. I honestly can't wait.
I love other sports too, I love the NBA and NFL but you can't match something this popular, this big, this historically rich. Each country have it's particular history, football culture, football style, football philosophy etc. It's something amazing. You should try to learn about the different clubs and fans all over the world, just an overall view of the map of football. Each of these teams have millions and millions of fans. I would say that at least 200 clubs have more than 1 million fans on Earth, some have 50 million fans or more.
1996-2006 was much better era. So much more all time great players. Messi and Ronaldo didn’t had competition for 10 years straight.
Great comment 👍
What he said 🔥🔥
@@ragnarok283 nah, it's just Ronaldo and Messi are too dominance that make the others to be unseen....
There is no way Players such Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Suarez, Neymay, Bale, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Iniesta, Xavi, Modric are ordinary.... Nah they are amazing but once again Messi&Ronaldo are on another level....
@@ragnarok283 not really, many ppl rn knows Messi and CR7 instead other, their dominance just too big for the other players
Between 2008 and 2018 only 3 teams other than Ronaldos Real Madrid and Manchester United or Messis FC Barcelona won the Champions League trophy (Inter Milan 2010, Chelsea London 2012, Bayern Munich 2013).
Between 2008 and 2021 the Ballon d'Or (MVP) was only given to Luca Modric (2018) other than them both.
There is almost no record they didn't break.
But for me this duel was so amazing, because both sides were so different:
Messi is the technical player, Ronaldo the more physical player.
Messis talent was 'given by god', Ronaldo is maybe the hardest working player there is or was.
Ronaldo is the flashy celebrity, dating super models. Messi is the quiet kind of guy, with the same girl back from his city in Argentina.
"[For FC Barcelona...] Winning becomes less important, because it is important to win in the “right way”.In Madrid, winning is the ultimate goal. The club exists to win."
Both of the players fitted perfectly the style of their teams:
At that time, many players of Barcelona came from the region and/or their own academy. They played beautiful football as a team (TikiTaka).
Real is always going for an all-star team (galacticos). The style of Madrid was more straight forward an aggressive.
Real Madrid is the Club of the spanish capital and the king of Spain (Real..), FC Barcelona the team of Catalonia, a region which wants to separate from Spain.
This wasn't only a fight between two different players, but between two clubs with different ideologies from two different regions in Spain with political history. At their peak.
Imagine how heartbreaking it is for us. We’ve been watching these 2 Legends for over 13 years 💔
I feel you....😔
Yes!💔💔 Feels like futbol has "ended" for me.
20 years me 😊
That El Classico era was without a doubt greatest footballing era ever in terms of rivalry..Neymar Messi Suarez iniesta Xavi pique Ronaldo benzema bale cassilas Marcelo di Maria Ozill ramos…all were on their peak of their powers
Just imagine that 2 different days when this two Legends announce their Retirement from Football..😪
I can't hold my tears specially when Ronaldo retires because I'm a huge fan of him but i will be sad for Messi's too.😔
I can't imagine Football without this two Great players who ever played this game...🐐🙏🐐
CR7 never move from good situation to a good situation . When he joined these clubs though they have good history of records but he meet them in a struggleing state he never met them in their glory rather he brought back that glory to the clubs . That is the CR7 effect . The goat
Master of skills, 3 ucl in a row, top scorer of all time,most awarded player in 2008 etc,..... All in packed one. CR7🥵
I’m 33…. In all my time watching every el Classico since 1996…. These two are the best ever this was the peak of football, nothing will come close. I remember thinking every time they played… this is special. Goosebumps
Man this gives me nostalgia and goosebumps .. Early 90s kids will understand growing up with these two legends, I remember in 2009/2010 I was a highschool freshman, the whole world was already following CR7 in Man United and following Messi in Barcelona. The day CR7 joined Real Madrid was like a dream come true to everyone, not just football enthusiasts. I am not that crazy about football myself but these two legends made everyone love the game again, from all ages and throughout the whole world. The day El Classico was on, everyone was watching it, all coffeeshops were packed, the whole city was holding its breath, literally everyone was fan of both legends and because of that they loved the teams they were playing for. I get tears in my eyes when I remember these days, of course the day Messi left for PSG and CR7 left for Juve was a very sad day in football. In my opinion, it even sadder for Messi because he went to a country that is not really interesting in terms of teams etc. However, CR7 went for Italy which has more exciting games + he was still breaking records there and now he's back home at Man United, at a time where there is Mo Salah at Liverpool, another magnificent player which makes everyone wants to watch a legend VS a superstar. The same scenes of packed coffeeshops went back, and a lot of people currently are watching England but on a lower level that was in CR7 vs Messi days, that was a time that will really never happen again in football history.
They push up each other limitless.
And that made them absolute LEGENDS.
Happy to have watched all their entire era.
28:20 yes you can tie in football. In playoff competitions you can't tie if it's a single game playoffs. If it's home and away match playoff you can tie only the first match. When ties aren't allowed the matches goes into extra time, two halfs of 15 minutes each and if the tie continue the game ends on penalties.
Fun Fact: Ronaldo’s son “Ronaldo Jr” idolize Messi and Messi’s son Thiago idolize Ronaldo.

That point system is la liga, 20 clubs playing eachother, 3 points win 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss , the most points is the champion of la liga
Madrid and Barcelona is a huge rivalry, politically and in sports. Having the best players itw playing in each team was something crazy
I went to the “el clásico” in Miami a few years ago and I can tell you the atmosphere was insane. I woke up the next day with a sore throat and barely being able to speak from all the screaming
Wow😳
There can be ties in a game, but it depends on what type of match is being played. Nick is right about the point system. That gets used in all the domestic leagues: Premier League, La liga, Serie A etc. However in champions league and the other cup-formats there is a knockout stage. If a tie happens in those games they usually play till a winner has been decided. Thats when extra-time (added 30'minutes after the initial 90*) gets into play.
Hope that helps:)
Thank you for the comment appreciate you family
This video makes it seem normal for 2 players to continually win the Ballon D'or, it is completely abnormal and miraculous. Ballon D'or is basically 'footballer of the year'. Prior to Messi/Ronaldo era, there was a different player every year pretty much, and no one has won more than 3, except Ronaldo/Messi who between themselves won it about 10 years in a row.

@@dunsonhouse 11:00 the teams very often decide the clothes players use before the match. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't used the suit because he wanted but bacause Manchester United in that final chose to go pre match with suits on, this is common for many clubs in important games, normally Champions League finals.
American here, I’m a Barca fan and my fam is Real Madrid fan. We’re a “soccer” family and watched every el classico and after every one we would go play ball outside bc we were inspired
He actually wanted to play for Real Madrid for a while it was always a dream of his, he had been planning on leaving earlier but Ferguson convinced him to stay for another few seasons. Those turned out to be his best seasons at Man U
Two of greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch
Ronaldo is from Iberia (Portugal/Spain), and for most young Iberian boys their dream is to play for Real Madrid one day. That's why Ronaldo transferred at the time.
At the time Manchester United were stronger than Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is from Madeira PORTUGAL
Messi has a gift, to play football. Is something that a few players have it. Like Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff and Messi (My POV) Ronaldo had to work a lot to be similar on level with Messi.
Both have merit and is difficult to stay on the top, but these guys are in the top since 00’s
Most Def. I think ppl forget that
But also people forge that you need to have talent to be like Ronaldo ,hard work alone will not make you to get the same level as Ronaldo ,the fact that as a teenagers was already widely knws show that he already had huge talent. He might not have the same talent as messi but he def has still huge talent ,I don’t want people to confuse by making seem that just by hard work u can get to his level .

In this time Real Madrid vs Barcelona Was the biggest match in the World, im from Spain and i can say that el clásico Was fucking crazy, You could see that the atmósphere in all the country changed, i swear those Days Was something really special
Privildged to have watched both of their careers in full. Genuinely don't believe ANYTHING will compare to Messi/Ronaldo. It's impossible, they're just built completely different, new ballers don't have the determination, let alone the skill.
Guys remember it this way it will be very easy:
1-If it is a league game you get :
3 points for the win
1 point for the tie
0 points for the loss
2- If it is in a Cup game i.e(Champions league/Copa Del Rey in Spain/FA cup in England etc) there can be no ties in the game. It either is a home and away game( you can tie the first game but if the second is tied you go to extra time and then penalties) or you play the extra time and penalties directly because a winner must be determined.
So in conclusion ties in league games give you 1 point and ties in cup games will go to over time and penalty shootouts because a winner has to be determined beceause only 1 will qualify.
(Added time and overtime are not the same. Added time is the added time of the time wasted in the half regularly its about 3-4 minutes. Can be 1 minute or even 5-6 depends on the game because the clock doesnt stop in football even if the play does).
I remember in elementary school the El Classicos were played on channels we didn't have in my country. The next day in IT class I went on youtube and watched all the highlights I could find that's how important and legendary these games were.
I can’t imagine how the last match of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi 😭💔
Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time 🐐 respect to Messi for me he is the 2nd greatest. But we have to enjoy their greatness until there here because they will retire this decade. We will never see a player like them ever again the same two guys in the top level of football for 15+ years this is unthinkable stuffs, we argue who is the best but we can’t dined their greatness every single games we all have different opinions about them but we have to respect for what they are. I’m not ready for they’re retirement that last game will be the emotional game of all time. All of the football fans will cry even who don’t know them will cry because of their greatness on what they do on the football field that we never seen before.
Respect Ronaldo
Respect Messi
Their both our goat’s 🐐x🐐
Ronaldo was a United player, they have an old skool dress code at UTD. They all attend finals in suits
I've been to a classico in 2017! The score was 3-1 Ronaldo did a beautiful far long distance goal ascensio too and Messi scored a pen but what a game!!
Mookie said it exactly how it is, messi was molded since he was little by the best footballers in his time
Both legend story make me goosebumps every-time both have so much hard-work to get up to
this fame. Ronaldo face poverty never loose hope and believe in himself. M10❤️ Cr7
That is one reason why the world see a great player of all time in CR7. Like every single tale surrounding him is enough to ruin a player's changes to stardom rather these challenges were his courage, his strength . From his mother wanting to abort him to him leaving home at 11years, playing with clubs and national team that were struggling to get their game up for trophies . Yet he shone through with blasting brightness, standing in the place of legend . He is born for this . This is what a great player and a goat looks like . He inspires everyone to reach for the star . And I feel his life is divinely designed to show a generations that are looking for the easy way out that hard work pays and if you set your mind on it you can make it . He did . He is truly a hero for ever age .
Talking about football's atmosphere, I think it would be very cool for you to react to Copa 90's mini documentary about the Superclassico (River Plate x Boca Juniors) in Argentina. It's the biggest rivalry here in South America and the guys from Copa 90 really did a great job on explaining the reasons for that. Understanding how rivalries (like Barça vs Madrid in the video) are formed and experienced in football is key to understanding the soul of the sport, it's awesome!
Great video as always, guys! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷💛
Great suggestion!!
Yes do this!
It feels very hilarious when you two fight each other praising ronaldo and messi.
By the time ronaldo moved to real madrid he had already won everything he could at Manchester United. His reason for leaving was pretty much that it was a dream to play for Real Madrid.
El Clásico is (alongside Liverpool vs Manchester United) the biggest and most watched club football match each season because they are two of the biggest clubs in world football. I went to my first and only el clasico 2 years ago at the Bernabéu (Real Madrid’s stadium). The atmosphere was incredible. Both teams and the Spanish league in general aren’t as strong as they used to be. In the era of Messi and CR7, the Spanish league was the best in the world by far. Now it is the premier league. Love the growth of your channel. Keep up the good work. Oh and the Golden Ball trophies you kept seeing in the vid is the Balon D’or or World Player of the Year award. It is the award given to the best player in the world each season. During the late 2000s it was basically shared between Messi and CR7 as they were posting up ridiculous scoring records season dates season. They set a level that has never been seen before in the history of football which goes back over 100 years. Most players score around 20 - 25 goals in one season. That used to be the average and even then only a handful of players could achieve it do. For a period of about 5 years, Messi and CR7 were scoring 50 goals and more EVERY season. Just incredible.
I am a simple south american. I see americans watching football and I hit the like.
You're right mate, points win the league. But also in cup competitions which are tournaments, you have to knock other teams out until you win in the final. If these games are a tie, then extra time of 30 mins and penalties will decide if no difference in scoreline after extra 30.
In the league it's 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 if you lose. Then the 'goal difference' (goals scored - goals conceded) will decide it.
Also, you guys should watch some goalkeeper saves I like how you appreciate the defense haha
It’s honestly a beautiful/sad feeling knowing two greats will no longer be playing the beautiful game most of us grew up loving anymore. Even though it was considered a rivalry, you have to tip your hat to them both. There will never be a period like that in football where two greats dominated the game by both being the best players for their respected clubs. That time frame of them two just winning the ballon d’or is just an example of how both of them are on a different level than most.
In barcelona, you see people around the stadium shouting like 10 hours before the game. Fireworks, highly-crowded stadium. Craziness just to see them both
Magic and Bird all over again. That's the best analogy to basketball. Those two battled each other for years and were always at the top of the NBA until Bird messed up his back badly, Magic got HIV and lost Kareem, and Jordan finally got some help on the Bulls.
The funny thing is that Ronaldo's son is a massive fan of Messi and the same is true vice versa because Messi's son is massive fan of Ronaldo too
Wow
When at the end of the season there is a tie between clubs, they will look at the goal difference (total goals scored - total goals against) and the team with the best goal difference will win the league. One exception is tournaments. In a tournament like the Champions League, Europa league, domestic cup... they'll let a game go to overtime if it's a tie and penalties if it's still not decided after the overtime
Respect for both of them. This is football ⚽️ ❤
did you know that the campnou stadium in barcelona has a capacity of 99'636 spectators. In 1980, during a World Cup in Spain, an additional tier was built to accommodate 119'000 spectators. the bernabeau stadium in madrid has a capacity of 81'044 spectators.
When you get a chance think you would like Liverpool's trent Alexander Arnold , you will enjoy his passes and assists. Take care and boss reaction 👊
to explain it simply there's a cup competition with knockout stages. Here there will be no draws as the tournament needs to go on to get 1 winner.
In the league we have draws that count for 1 point since there's no elimination
Ronaldo basically pulled a Kevin Durant type trade , he said get me tf outta I’m tryna win championships 🏆
Some rules about the point-system and cup-system in European club football:
In the competition:
3 points for the win.
1 point for a draw.
And if in the end of the competition, if 2 clubs have the same points, then they look a the goal difference.
Or at the results they played against each other. ( but it depends on wich country, or league, rules are sometimes different )
In the national cup:
Win the game you go go the other round.
Draw: extra time 30min, if its still a draw then penalty's
Or the play a home and away game. (again it depends in wich country or league)
Final is 1 game.
National supercup:
League winners against cup winners holders.
(Spain 2 games, rest in Europe 1 game)
European cup:
They play a groupstage without 4 teams, so 3x away and 3x home matches.
Best 2 clubs qualify for knock out stage. (KO)
In the knock out stage, 1/8 1/4 1/2 finales. Its home and away games. (who scored the most goals go's the next round)
Draw in both games: extra time in second game, if its still a draw the penalty's.
Final is 1 game, in a neutral city in europe.
There 3 European cups divisions.
Champions league: the best of the best teams in europe. (nr 1, 2,3 of the top league's, smaller league's have 1 or 2 teams or play KO games to qualify before it al begins in september )
Europa league: the teams under the Champions league teams. (winner qualify's also direct for the new champions league season)
Confederations league: the clubs under Europa league clubs.
European supercup: (first game at the start of every new european season)
The winner from the Champions league plays against the Europa league winner.
1 game in a other country.
Hope this helps you guys how it works.
Bless
U can argue if Messi or Ronaldo was better but the truth is we will never see such dominance like we saw with these 2. 15+ years of them playing at a really high level. Crazy
i first used to like messi so much, cause im like his height and than i switched up to ronaldo bro, im not gonna lie, i love both of them. in my town i play like messi style but shit ronaldo i like how he is and thats my personality too so its hard to pick, but my heart always says Ronaldo 🔥💯
Thank you Luis Sanchez thank you sometimes ppl don't understand him (Cr7)
I remember my favorite el Classico that I watched live was the one where Messi had a black eye and bloody mouth. The score was 3-2 for Barcelona. The game was so intense from the beginning right through the end. Madrid opens up the score 1-0 in the first half and then near the end of the first half Messi scored to make it 1-1. And then in the 2nd half Barcelona took the lead 2-1 but then Madrid tied it again 2-2. At that moment everyone practically thought that the game will end in a tie. But then at the last second Messi scored the winning goal to make the score 3-2. I remember having goosebumps watching that game.
You two are very knowledgeable about football(compared to other american RUclips channels I've watched. I'm subscribing right now.
Messi did go into the academy system a bit earlier than Ronaldo. On top of that, he went to the best academy in the entire world. He was definitely moulded from very young to be what he is. There was no better footballing education than the one he received at La Masia - and they mould the youngsters to play the Barcelona way.
hey hello.....RONALDO HAD HEART SURGERY AS TEENAGER! STFU and have respect for them both
Two Legends! ✌️
Ronaldo scored 451 GOALS in those 8 seasons in Real Madrid. He had more goals than games played. You have no idea how absurd that is. Good times.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are the biggest teams in history, playing for one of them is any players dream.
29:30 at the last game of the season the team who is in top will win the league title so Barcelona was on top and real Madrid needed 2 or 3 points (i guess) to get on the top of the table so tie means its 1 point to both teams so after the game Barcelona still remain at top and real Madrid failed to catch them that's why the game didn't went to extra time
React to Uefa Champions league finals 2000-2020
This is the biggest club competition. Winning it means you the best team in the world.
A reaction to such a video will give ya'll an idea of which football clubs are boss, and also how other clubs were once great but now have fallen.
In league-system competitions, the point system is in place, and ties grant 1 point for each side.
In knock-out rounds, you have either home and away games, or one single game. If it is home and away, a tie can take place, but if another team won the other game, then that team advances. If both teams won one game, it can come down to the total number of goals in both matches. Or if both games are tied, it can come down to who scored more visitor goals. But there are times where you can go to OT at the end of the second game if everything is tied, counting both games.
In a single knockout games, someone has to win, so if there is a tie in 90 mins, OT will take place. And if there is still a tie at the end of OT, they go to penalties.
It's kind of complicated at first, especially understanding "away goals", and the way different leagues and tournaments have different rules.
Regarding whether two teams end up tied in a league point system, yes that has happened many times. The tie-breaker depends on that league's rules. In Spain, the tie-breaker is the direct duel between the two teams. For example, in 2007, Real Madrid and Barcelona were tied in points at the end of the season. But in their direct games, Real Madrid won one, and the other one was a tie, so Real Madrid was crowned champion.
In other leagues, if there is a tie, the tie-breaker can be the total difference between goals scored and received throughout the whole season.
Excited for you guys to watch your first World Cup this summer.
Yall dont understand!!😹😹 this game is bigger than the super ball..
Ive been watching el clasico since 2003
Mookie is right about Messi in the beginning of the vid. Since 10 he was molded to be one of the greatest at Barca. That´s nothing negative. Just a fact. He had the mentality for it😉✌🏽
english premier is the best now. ever since ronaldo left real madrid, the spanish league isnt good anymore. but when ronaldo was at real madrid, thats when spanish league was the best.
to end this forever Messi is natural and Ronaldo trained hard to achieve his success both are so good
League is 3 pts for a win and 1 point for a draw/tie. Other results only carry over in 2 leg cup games
The point system is used in the league matches. if your team wins, that 3 points gained but if y'all are tied after the game is over, that's 1 point gained for both teams. if it's in other competitions, then its a knockout system so if it's tied at the end, they play some extra minutes and even go to penalty shoot outs to determine who wins.
Ferguson, who managed Ronaldo for six years at Old Trafford, told snooker champion John Parrott per The Mirror: "People say who is the best player in the world? And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion.
"But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers... anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it.
"Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player." -sir Alex Ferguson. Greatest manager of all time!
Messi is dog water right now at psg! You take him away from Barcelona he’s nothing, ronaldo can do what he does in any league!
Do you have a smooth brain or something? Both players can do it in any league don't be fucking ridiculous. If Messi had gone to Man City he would be top scorer and assister... PSG are poorly managed by Pochettino because he is not a tactical genius like Pep, Tuchel, or Conte. Ronaldo celebrates as if he's won the champions league every time he scores off goalkeeper mistakes. don't comment your opinion unless you understand football.
Who's the best player in last 4 years between them? Can i know? someone won 2 ballon d'ors,golden boots, playmaker awards while other one chilling with dubai d'or and crying in social media after watching his rivals achievements
@@fullchicken4492 understand football? What level have you ever got to at playing football!?😂😂 you Arabs need to get of messi nuts. Absolute dog water. He was made for Barcelona, not for any other type of football. I’ve spoke facts, you on the other hand are making assumptions.
@@hpsauce9608 arabs? You realize that Cristiano wins dubai d’or every fucking year right? 😂 any fan that lives around there or is Indians like you is an invalid fan. They don’t know shit about ball if they think Ronaldo is worth even mentioning for the past 4 years 💀
@@hpsauce9608 Ronaldo will never be the Messi. What makes players like Messi, Maradona, Zidane etc great is they are best or top 2 in 80 percentage of match they plays in their best years ,in case of CR the ratio he is top 2 is far worse. He is a top tier goalscorer never top tier attacking player like Messi/ Maradona. Thats the reason why Cristiano don't have half the motm awards when football sites analyse the stats. And Now both are liabilities,, without Messi psg is better,with CR poacher role teams are going down , liabilities two different ways.
At the time Real Madrid were buying all the biggest players in world football, they were nicknamed the GALACTICOS the best players in every position in one team. When Madrid bought Ronaldo, he was the current world best player at the time so it was bound to happen. Barcelona had the best players as well. He hence a match between Madrid and Barcelona was the greatest but however the rest of the teams in the Spanish league are weak, whilst the Premier league pretty much all the teams in the league are very strong
I dont think La liga is worse than Premier League. La Liga is more competitive and technical. Premier is the biggest show of planet football. It got all the money. There´s no even competion when we refers to spectacle
But still Sevilla Atletico Barcelona and Obviously Real Madrid managed during the last 15 years to steal a massive number of the most important European Championships..
La Liga owned among all the others leagues in Europe.
Incorrect. Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and Villarreal are not "weak" or weaker than most EPL teams. The bottom half of both La Liga and EPL could beat each other on any given day. And the top teams of both leagues have all done well against each other in Europe. You can even see this in UEL performance in the last 10 years, (where some of the "rest" play each other). EPL teams have won 3 times, where as La Liga teams have won it 7 times. Fans of EPL have a habit of looking at football through tunnel vision, often morphing the other leagues into one "shit league" when in fact it's not at all true. If you had said Ligue 1? sure, we all know PSG is just showing up for UCL practice each week. But, La Liga is not the same.
@@marcopelaezfernandez4573 i stand to be corrected. What I was trying to say is the EPL has the most entertaining football matches in all of the leagues in Europe. Personally I feel like in the EPL you can watch the bottom table teams and still be entertained whilst in other leagues like Spain and Italy yo can't say the same.
Finally someone who has brain cells who’s explaining why the prem is better. Amen.
Watching Cristiano vs Messi was so hype... even I started watching Soccer.
13:00 - The reason was Real Madrid, from the time he was at Sporting Lisbon, they wanted Cristiano, and they wanted him bad... and after a stint in Manchester and this and that... nothing was going to stop this combo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid from happening... he was at the time the most expensive transfer (team buys player, then negotiates contract): 94 Million EUR, a contract worth 77 Million EUR (11 Million EUR from 2009 - 2015), and a buyout clause worth 1 Billion Euro.
Long story short, Real Madrid bought Ronaldo from Manchester, because they wanted him BAD (like downbad). And he wanted it too... Madrid is a club with pedigree like no other professional club (not to knock Manchester United).
Ronaldo at United already had won everything. Plus Real Madrid made a record offer for the time and united took the money. In the next years Real would build the team that won 3UCL in a row
Ronaldo move to real madrid is a huge deal with a lot of money involved and placed him at the top of the highest transfer real madrid and the world ever made surpassing kakà back then I believe, that's one of the reason I think
I did see a lot of live games. You can not imagine how crazy it is.
yeh in Domestic League games(Prem/La Liga etc) and Champions/Europe Group stage games you get 1 point for a tie/draw. In
But Knockout cups games are decided that day (mostly, I will describe directly below the usual format, but for information on when it is different see the "***Extra detail English Cups" section at the very bottom regarding FA CUP and League Cup) :
Domestic Cups (FA Cup, Copa del Rey etc) you have extra time at a Level scoreline at 90mins (2 extra halves of 15 mins) if still level you have Penalty shootout (5 chosen penalty takers, and after that sudden death through the rest of your team until 1 team s ahead after a round of Penalty's is complete, 1 round = 1 penalty per team). Domestic cups are usually 1 match per Knockout round (like a playoff) the fixtures are drawn at random so you may be home ground or the oppositions home ground , it is what it is, the Final (and sometimes Semi's) are held in a Neutral ground usually the National Stadium (in England''s case the FA cup and League Cup finals are held at Wembley)
The Champions League and Europa League have a group stage which is a mini league, group of 4 teams 6 games per team, home and away with each other team in the group 3pts =win, 1pt Draw/tie 0=Loss, top 2 from each group through too Knockout stage (3rd place teams go into Europe League Knockout and play Europa League Group stage winners/runners up)
Knock out Stage: 3 Knock out stages which are 2 legs (meaning 2x 90 minute matches, 1 at each teams Home ground)
If at the end of the 2nd leg the teams are still level they go to Extra Time (2x15 mins halves) and then a penalty shootout (as above)
Then a Final which is a one off game at a predetermined venue (known at the start of the season)
The Final is 90mins of football, 2 x15 mins halves if still level, and then Penalty Shootout (as above)
The Final's Venue (Europa League and Champions League)
Basically one of the great Football stadiums in Europe, occasionally a team gets to the Final that happens to be held at their Home ground, this is very rare though Bayen Munich had this in the last few years but were beaten by Chelsea in the Champions League final on Bayern's own ground
International Football Tournaments (World Cup, European Championship, AFCON, Copa America, etc)
These are a bit like the Champions League Group stage, which is a mini league, the Knockout stages (usually 4 or 5 Knockout rounds), but slight differences. The Competition is held in a different country each time (bit like the Olympics, they have a host country), Sometimes its 2 nations joint hosting. The Stadiums are the best Football Stadiums in the Country(s), so only the host nations are in Home grounds, the rest are technically "away".
In the Group Stages 4 teams, only play each other once this time so there are 3 games in a group stage each team has to play (3 pts win and 1 pt draw/tie 0 pt loss)
Then (usually) the top 2 from each group through to Knock Out stages. Then its 1 off games winner progresses to the net round.
The Knock out in International games is like Domestic cups (FA Cup) single 90 mins games , 2 x15 mins Halves if still level, then Penalty Shootout if still level.
* Extra detail about when things are not as above International
There are exceptions to this in similar competitions around the world, and the exceptions are usually down to pool size meaning how many teams are involved. Sometimes in Group stages you have top teams go through and only the 4 highest 2nd place teams (league stats) this happens in competitions with smaller number of teams than 32 (so Oceanic continental competition is probably like this, so countries like Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Island nations.. Papua New Guinea etc etc). Th European Championship used to be like this but they increased the number of nations taking part
***Extra detail English Cups
The League Cup in England is different to most cup competitions in that its single game Knock out stages, which is normal but the Semi Finals are for some reason 2 legs, a bit like Champions league Knock out stages, but they are talking about changing that, making it 1 leg each stage of the Knock out, because the Final,it goes back to 1 leg
Also Th FA Cup and the League Cup (and other domestic cups around the world) have Replays for tied games in early rounds.
If the first match is tied, then a replay happens. The first game is by draw chosen to be Home for a Team, if they draw that game it will be replayed a week or so later at the other teams home ground. This only happens in early rounds and only on the first game,if the replay is tied, it goes to Extra Time (2 x15 min halves if tied) and then Penalty shootout if still Draw/tie.
Here is my favourite football/Soccer derbies "Soweto derby (South Africa),Manchester derby (England),EL Classico (Spain),Milan derby (Italy)".
Growing up I was a CR7 fanboy but as I got older and studied Messi’s game I’ve realized he’s out of this world…Pique is a Barcelona player who played with both CR7 & LM10 and he said “ Ronaldo is the best of the Humans but Messi is an Extraterrestrial”
here we got another one of those,
who has to say he is fan of Ronaldo just to say Messi is better
these species of animals are all over the internet
just sad to watch them desperately trying to prove their point 😭🧢
@@Roadto15RealMadrid well its all facts what he said
@@PassportBro_ The biggest lie is "Messi is out of the world"
Messi started his career in one of the biggest club in the world with one of the best players in the world
Ronaldo didn't.
now that's facts.
I bet my life you lying bro. once you fanboy CR7 you never feel someone is greater than him.
@@Roadto15RealMadrid My parents are from Madrid so I grew up being a huge fan of him but since my playstyle is closer to Messi’s I started to watch his highlights and that’s when I came to the conclusion. Not to deminish CR7 greatness after all CR7 & LM10 are the Football Goats without a doubt. Cheers man
Please react to “what if ronaldo and messi were on the same team”, you guys gonna love it🔥🔥🙏🙏
For tournaments and playoffs and stuff think of it as a 2 game series and you combine both scores together whoever has more goals wins. And as for regular season a win is 3 points a tie is 1 point a loss is 0 points
In regular league matches you can tie matches but it only counts as 1 point for both teams if they tie, 3 points for a win and 0 points for a loss. In knockout phases of tournaments and championship matches there is no ties, play till you win or go to penalty kicks and win. There is no playoffs in the league (except for mls which is the American soccer league), who ever has the most points at the end of the season wins the league.
I love how he tries to play off by saying "he Iight" yOooo G, Messi is the GOAT THE GOAT!!!
Yeah one thing I wish we had in football, is something like the Nba all star games, that would be so entertaining, with all the little mini games or contests before the main game, oh my goodness.
Cristiano once said he wanted to win as many trophies as he can and the only team to that with was real Madrid, he broke all records whilst his will probably never be broken
So y'all can understand better Barcelona's current situation y'all should whatch a vid called "HOW the world's best team imploded | FC Barcelona" Keep the good reacttions coming!!!!
The point system goes like this.
A win = 3 points
A draw = 1 point
A loss = 0 points
So if a team wins a game 1-0 or 2-0 or whatever other scoreline, they get 3 points. So if on the table they had 10 points, after the win, they would have 13 points. If the draw either 1-1 or 2-2 then both teams are awarded a point each. If one of the teams had 5 points, after the draw they would have 6 points. If a team loses then they don't get awarded any points.
If it's a league match and the game ends in a tie, both teams get a point each, that's it. However if they're playing a cup match and have reached the knockout stages, a tie would result into extra time where the referee adds on 30min of gametime. If they still end up in a tie after those 30min, they go into a penalty shootout to determine the winner who the proceeds to the next stage of the cup competition.
In the la liga, if you win you get 3 points, if you draw (2-2) or (0-0) you get 1 point each team and 0 for loss. If two teams have the same points at the end of the season it goes on "goal difference" which that takes account for who wins. The team with the highest goal difference wins. So if Real Madrid had 90 points, Scored 70 goals and had 20 past them then their difference is 50. And that's the basis of who wins if they have same points.
i'm not crying, u do🥺
Much love for you big brothers ❤
Madrid just made a bid . A record 100 mil . Manchester accepted . And when comes calling who can say no . A win win situation . Historically Real Madrid is the most successful club in Europe . Everyone wants to play there. All thanks to Alfredo Di Stefano 🐐 legend
