Are the ESPN FC pundits still going to claim that Newcastle are better than Dortmund? These pundits have mocked Dortmund ever since the group stage despite them finishing first in the “Group of Death” and never let up. Yet another side that these pundits have openly mocked and been completely wrong about.
BVB has been a bit of a joke in the the BL. They choked last year and very inconsistent this year. But all the power to them in the CL!
It seems someone in ESPN took your wife or gf, my God! Go on every page to type some banter and painful 😖 comment! Grow up man, Newcastle where in the anscendancy and BVB where not, a week in football could easily be a year, so they said what they said at the time will you leave it alone or will you moan and cry about everything they say or do not say for the rest of your life? Grow up !
Ya let's cool the jets lol I'm not a fan of either team but pretty much Newcastle's full starting 11 was injured for both the Dortmund games in the group stage. Also Dortmund have played two of the worst teams in the knockout stage, credit to them for taking their chances but we'll see how they do against PSG.
@@ericdennis666Okay dude👍💀
@@ericdennis666 excuses excuses excuses.
About time the world takes note of Bundesliga’s quality…spends the least and always punches above weight…Dortmund made Germany proud tonight
Indeed they did
Yeah. The Bundesliga has the biggest clubs in the world. 5/10 of the clubs with the most members in the world are from Germany.
The fanbase is just unbeaten worldwide.
People really need to acknowledge that.
I don’t know if you’re new to this game but the football world has been taking note on the quality that Dortmund pushes out. But we can’t ignore that they have fell off from being top contenders in the champions league since 2013.
@@johnlopez2422 I wouldn’t say they completely fell off but yes they are not consistent…they keep losing key players every season to clubs with more money and that disrupts the momentum…they can’t compete financially like every other German club except Bayern but I am tired of EPL clubs being overrated by a lot…City is a cut above (because of Pep the genius and never ending cash flow) but rest are not that good as the world makes them out to be
@@DarkarThanBlack5? What do you mean explain.
Why BVB is fifth in the Bundesliga? This year, the Bundesliga is very strong. Remember that Real Madrid needed the help from the referees to eliminate Leipzig. A quarterfinal with BVB, Bayer and Leipzig would have been possible. And Stuttgart is not in the International competition. Leverkusen is in the Euroleague. So it is no surprise that the fifth BundesTeam is in the Semifinal.
The disrespect these so called Pundits show to German teams is crazy. Congratulations to them for getting all predictions wrong
Yeah, its a bit much, from some pundits bordering on open hate. I don‘t expect anything else from this people.
It happened again. All espn pundits predicted Barcelona and Atleti to go through yesterday, but they are both out.
I mean, on paper they aren't wrong.
@@APriestMainthey kinda are. All four teams look kinda equal on paper. Not like it would be when man city would play Dortmund.
In the future just bet on the ones that they bet against
Well the other week they were carrying on about Liverpool winning the EPL. Look at Liverpool now stumbling badly
@@timv.8974 i agree. It is not real madrid or man city. It is atletico man, the team that cannot dictate the play or cares more about defending even when they are goal down
As a Newcastle fan Dortmund were one of the best teams ive seen at st James park
Disrespect to BVB is sickening. One can write them off at their own expense. They won the group of death and have played at their top level in UCL
Who is Jude Bellingham? 🤔
Sickening…. Lol
What group teams where there?
Don’t worry PSG is going to destroy them in the next round. Maybe that will humble you to what Dortmund actually is
@@YD-jf7je psg fan preaching about humility? loll
PSG will be favourites regardless. Point is that BVB have been written off since day one but have outperformed their opponents so far.
When a German team goes through the headline is always: „why did *oppositinal team* loose?
When a english team goes through the headline is: „*English team* advances with great performance“ 😅😅😅
Will there ever be a point where they give the Bundesliga some credit instead of always saying these theams are different animals in the CL or the opponent was bad or whatever. Just accept the legaue is the doing more than the Prem this season despite having half the money.
They're not doing more
@@redfordreddington8834 when arsenal get knocked out tomorrow, they will be doing more.
@@redfordreddington8834they definitely are doing more. No PL teams in the Semis, Liverpool are about to bottle the Europa League(Leverkusen is going to win anyway).🤷
@@bongjava4930 leverkusen isn't winning Europa
@@redfordreddington8834 They are the hottest team right now. We'll see.
Imagine a Bayern-Dortmund rematch at Wembley, still unlikely at the moment though
I got a feeling it could happen
Still possible though
As a Bayern fan, i would love a BVB CL rematch. But If Bayern could overcome Arsenal, RM/MC in SF, then Bayern wins the CL. Bayern is on the harder side of the draw again this year. Happy to see BVB do well and hope they win CL, if Bayern can't!
Dortmund very likely will make the final....but City is very hard to defeat
@NorbertnahumPlatzer thats what they said in 2013....with Dortmund defeating Bale Benzema and Cristiano... and Bayeern Trashing Messi's barca
These guys really can’t handle the fact that the top Bundesliga teams are better than the top EPL teams this year, can they?
Do these guys ever think…maybe, just maybe…the Bundesliga is better than the Premier League fanboys think?
Come On. You've the right to enjoy this moment but don't get too ahead of yourself
Wasn't this a Laliga-Bundesliga affair. No need to make it an EPL affair 😂
@@sacredtree2565 The captain of the English national team plays in Germany. The best English player plays in Real Madrid.

HAHA! This just makes me smile. All of these pundits and youtubers trashed on PSG and BVB saying that they sucked while talking about how good the Laliga teams are. Instead, Dortmund and PSG just went and crapped all over Barca and Atletico. This is why we love this sport!!!
💪 🇨🇵 🇩🇪 💪
What a comeback by Dortmund
Haha to the ESPN pundits who claimed Newcastle would ‘easily’ beat Dortmund. Premier League Propaganda Machine derailed 😅
As a Dortmund fan myself for soo many years now, it was a crazy outstanding performance from Dortmund and a huge comeback as well and they had a lot of energy in this game against Atletico Madrid! I'm really happy that they passed to the semi finals and I can't believe it's been 11 years now for Dortmund to reach the semi finals of the Champions League again! 🙂😮👍✌️
i predicted correctly on my video based on data and statistic.
Luis Garcia must be in real pain as his two former Clubs got knocked out on the same day. Specially after winning the first leg.
You love to see it 😂👌🏻
Eat that, all of you thought Dortmund would get knocked out
Bundesliga beat the EPL in the business and sports game when it comes down to getting the most sport for your money. And on top Supporters can actually afford a beer and tickets as well. And these pundits believe a club like Chelsea, who spend a perverted Billion Euros made any good decision on Maatsen😂
This is facts and this is why i prefer the Bundesliga to the EPL. The disrespect that they get because they have a 50 +1 rule
Wdym what went wrong? Dortmund where the better team in the first leg and they where in the second leg.
Considering they where to play the second leg at home in front of 80000 it was very likely they where going to win.
Iirc Google had the winning probabilities after 90 min like BVB 42% and Madrid ~30%.
After last weeks game I had no doubts, Dortmund would win.
Definitely not the better team in the first leg.... Not even remotely
@@user-ve7hn2dh8hAgreed
@@user-ve7hn2dh8hDortmund literally gifted Atletico 2 goals in the first leg and also hit the post twice. Atletico were lucky it wasn’t a draw never mind a defeat.
Well the farmers did some harvesting today😂😂. What, no farmers league jokes today in the comment section about Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga? Wonder what the excuses will be.
That's what I enjoyed the most about both games and if I'm fans from teams in both leagues, I'd be milking these victories, no pun intended. We could very well have 3 teams in the semi finals that are farmers. Now that would be very funny.
Dortmund vs PSG will be one heck of a match.

CALMA NOU season , Jose's special 2nd season, one of the best teams to not win the UCL, bcoz of Kaka, CR7 and Ramos miss penalty!!
Hats off to BVB. What A Comeback. 🙌👏💪⚽️🥅
playing against these dortmund side is not easy. they sometimes run you over with their energy, like some orcs running you over even if your side has the better weapons and warriors in that match.
The most important person in these games is The Goalkeeper . Real Madrid proved that through Navas and Courtois . But Oblak is a clown , there was a point of the Season when he conceded 9 of the last 11 shots on target in La Liga . That sums it up . 2 of the 4 Dortmund goals should never go in
@@user-qx8hg3bb3s yeah maybe but atleti still didnt defend Well enough and let them find spaces. They would have killed the Game with a Rock Solid Backline a couple of seasons ago
Dortmund playing like prime Klopp era.
It was just this game tho... did you see their performance last game and the entire season I dunno this game they turned into Prime Barca.
I think they want to give tribute to klopp instead of Liverpool 😂
Their defense is something to worry about. Dortmund haven't had a stable defense for a long time now
Dortmund fan here, we are not even close. We were dominant in the Bundesliga back then, with much more complete performances. The quality of the squad was also miles ahead back then, with the likes of Gundo, Gotze, Lewa, Reus all at their best. We played a great game today, but nooooowhere close to prime Klopp era.
@@marianomejiavalenzuela1658 I meant tonight's one-off performance reminded me of classic Klopp era.
Both Dortmund and Atletico are proper football teams - built over decades from local working class communities, few 'plastic' fans and not state sponsored or artificially pumped up with immoral oil money like PSG and Man City.
Atletico should have chosen different colours for their away jerseys! Coming to Dortmund in blue and white is like holding a red rag in front of a fierce bull
truuuuuue!
By the way. Julian Brandt is sensational, he has been the best Dortmund player for the last 3 seasons, he is almost unstoppable, advancing in the midfield, so dinamic....sadly Germany had very bad coaches these years, lot of teams would dream to have a player like that, he just doesnt lose the ball, and is not afraid to turn around with it and always take good decisions...fantastic underrated player
And looks a bit like Modric in appearance 😉
Competition in the German midfield is just too much. Mussiala,Müller, Sané,Kroos… Thats why Brandt is usually only a sub
Hes world class he was everywhere
@@palashpansey63you high? 😂
@@janekmundt579 hahaha people like you have not idea of football and talk without watching the games, very sad comment. Brandt was better than all of them the last season. I'm Bayern fan for decades, but I wouldn't mind to admit it, Brandt is a playmaker, Germany dont have playmakers, Kroos is finished and he was one of the worse players Germany ever had mister Soft I would say, then Brandt is a bit like Müller, he can do it all and very Smart, all the plays he does makes better to his teammates, but also have the quality to play for himself.
Real vs City = 6 goals = what a fame. Dortmund Vs Atletico = 6 goals = horrible defending. It's so ridiculous.
The XG in the City Real game was about 1:1. The goals were bangers.
I guess Bundesliga is a tougher league than EPL.
Klinsmann good guy. 👌
What went wrong for Atletico? They were deservedly knocked out by the better team. The same team that has been written off by these "pundits" all season.
There is No better team in Champions League. There is goals and there is Goalkeepers . There is Ronaldo and Navas and there is Benzema and Courtois, there is Rodri and Ederson , but then there is The clown between the Atletico Madrid sticks . The clown who concedes every shot on target that isn't right At him . The better team by these Champions League standards are Atletico their expected goals prove it . But Dortmund scored more because the expected goals don't know Oblak can't make a single easy save
@@user-qx8hg3bb3sthe better team is the team that wins not the team that has more xG
World is run by facts and action , not by unfulfilled expectations
@@a.m.1568
I am not talking about Atletico wasting chances , that's irrelevant and not the reason for the loss . I am talking about The clown Keeper that can't make a simple save . I just mean that Dortmund expected goals were low because there were 2 goals that should have been saved by Keeper but he is a clown
"Dortmund drank a different juice"...😅😅 good one Craig 😂😂
This guy is completly lost in his hate 😂😂😂
hes an idiot
As Newcastle United fan Dortmund play fantastic football and are a class act
Newcastle was a scary foe, nearly unbeaten when we faced them.
Dortmund reached 3xtimes the Champions League final and won it against Juventus Turin ...what did Newcastle win ?
Farmer league? It’s all about results, not some baseless mockery.
You talking about the prem?
Ten Hag prefers Mount for 55m and keen to spend another 20m for Amrabat rather keeping Sabitzer for lesser. He is really a fuxking clown.😂
isn't Amrabat a loan?
@@SantomPh Ten Hag was keen to have him on a permanent deal but was unable to do so due to financial constraints. In hindsight, they might have dodged a bullet on that.
This is gonna be long so sorry in advanced.
As an Atleti fan watching them is frustrating and I mean really frustrating. What happened to Inter exactly happened to Atleti and that's if you waste your chances and don't score it will get you. In the first leg I told my dad that Atleti should finish the tie in Wanda but they missed a lot of chances. Then Simeone tried to cool the game down and finish the game with 2 goals which gave BVB the chance to score and by the end of the match Atleti was lucky the tie wasn't equal. Coming to this game we all knew it would be a hard game which was shown by BVB in the first half. I was telling pops that BVB's defence has errors and Atleti should use them which happened with Hummels own goal (but to be fair it wasn't really his fault but still). I wasn't too happy because the tie was even but after Correa scored... Man I was punching the air! (threw some kicks too 😁). I was happy and excited but still cautious and afarid because of what BVB was capable of and telling pops that Atleti should score more but what happened? The exact opposite. BVB played better and finished the job something Atleti couldn't do. Simeone knows that they can't keep clean sheets anymore so he should've thought of something. I mean of course he did (that's why he's a coach and I'm not, that's why he's being payed millions and I'm not) but it wasn't enough. BVB played great but the defense was shambles. Yes there were a couple of good saves and clearances but the fact that BVB cut through the defense so easily tells you what you have to know. The first to goals where scored in a matter of 5 minutes and the 3rd and 4th in 3 minutes just shows how good BVB was and bad Atleti were. And let's not even talk about Morata and Correa's sweet chances especially Alvarito's. I hope he's punching himself for not scoring that chance.
Even if Atleti went to the next round I didn't see them winning against PSG or Barca. As much as I love them to when cups especially the UCL, I don't see them winning anything unless they change a lot of things starting with consistency which they don't have. Congrats to BVB and the fans for advancing 👏.
At the end if you don't wanna get stung by a bee you better kill it when you have the chance because of you don't it will stung you and it will stung you bad 🐝
Been saying it All Season long . There is nothing we Can do with Oblak in there . Any Goalkeeper would save the 1st and 4th Dortmund Goals but Oblak is a clown . This should be 2-2
Better Analysis than what the highly paid idiots say in this clip.
These idiots said that Newcastle will go through over Dortmund 😂😂😂
As an Atleti fan I find the back line embarrassing. Full revamp needed this summer but well done to Dortmund
Atletico's defense is nowhere close to where it used to be from 2014-2018.
There is a huge decline in the individual quality of the defenders. Back then you had many great defenders who were at their peak like Godin, Miranda, Filipe Luiz, Juanfran and Lucas Hernandez.
Everyone laughed at Jurgen Klinsmenn for choosing PSG and Dortmund, now Jurgen Kilnsmenn is laughing at them from his California house ( though Klinsmen smiles all time 😂)
Here’s a shocker for these pundits…..the Bundesliga is tougher than you think. If a German club doesn’t go undefeated they think they can’t compete in Europe. Absolute joke, every team ahead of them is a top team.
we've been underdogs this whole ucl campaign but we keep clawing our way out. Hopefully get a bvb bayern final again.
All the ESPN Fc commentors never gave Borussia Dortmund a chance in this competition 🤭
Klinsmann has more football knowledge than those clowns combined
Jurgen predicted PSG to go through as well. Great vision 👌🏿
Why is this video titled “what went wrong for athletico?” Nothing went wrong, dortmund are the superior side.
Exactly, Dortmund basically conceded 3 own goals from the total of 4 over the 2 legs and they still went through by simply outscoring Atletico.
There has been so much disrespect to Dortmund this Champions League. Who's in the semis now
ESPN pundits have once again proven their incompetence
but one
spain's dominance has been ended in ucl
0:01 - "Dortmund win by four games to two" - Is he drunk?
I'm normally not someone who dunks on Simeone but my god he fumbled the bag, instead of killing the game and the tie in the 2nd half, he preferred sideways passing over trying to score.
Der Klassiker again in Wembley
The fan base is unreal, we saw earlier with Bayer and Dortmund.Glückwunsch!!
Atletico Madrids board needs a slap across the face for being so cheap.
Congrats to Dortmund 🤝
Yes! The Ath Madrid team of a few yrs ago is probably a good example on how to set up strong defensively 🙏🙏
Bundesliga harder than champions league confirmed
Dortmund vs Psg will be a joy to watch it'll be a mission to outscore the other it'll be an open game, but Enrique's experience could come into play. After tasting glory with the comeback against Barca they could be really pumped. Mbappe's last hurrah.
For the first time in a loooong loong time a referee was unbiased and immediately CHOKElona failed to cope with unbiased refereeing since they have been getting favourable calls in LA LIGA for soo long LMAO😂🤣😆😝
Do People even know the rules? It was a mistake a BIG one by Araujo and he knows it... the rules if you are the last player with another enemy player and you put your hands on him and pull him like that it's RED. simple as that.. go read the rules and say not red.
they will never learn
Maatsen such a gem at 22 scoring UCL QF KO goals. 35M pounds would be a steal for him
dortmund played very good let’s repeat 2013 bayern coming
As soon as a team doesn't win espn comes out with all what's wrong with a team. As soon as as a team wins, it's the best. These guys are really strange
The way people were talking about Atletico coming into this tie you would think Dortmund were coming against the likes of Prime Godin and Saul. This new version of Atletico Madrid cannot defend like they once did in the past
Kudos to Dortmund 💫🔥🔥
Luis is the saddest person here by far 😂. Both of his teams are out through comebacks.
I’m a United fan and I’m glad to see Sabitzer getting some recognition as he was underrated for us last season. Letting him go and keeping McTominay was CRIMINAL
German final anybody ?
As a German, I'm 99.9% confident neither Bayern nor Dortmund will make it to the Final, even though I wish it would happen.
@@Nice-ou8ps u never know brahhhh !!!
@@Nice-ou8ps we can’t act like psg is that much of a unbeatable team weather people wanna hear it or not in terms of ucl they are known to choke I know domestically Bayern Ben horrible but so what they won 11 straight titles it’s about time somebody else wins it 😂 just saying lol they still got world class experienced players who can beat any team on any given day I m not about to call it a psg vs man city final already I m not about to do that and if that happens I got my money on man city … but we all fell in love with football cause anything can happen in the great game of football !!
@@croatiankid6595 I predicted Man City will win the UCL again, so I say they make it through.
Dortmund has already played against PSG twice and not won a single match. As much as I'm impressed with Dortmund's UCL accomplishments this season, in both games against PSG it looked very clear to me that they can't do anything against their speed and counterattacks. I'm not saying PSG is unbeatable, but over the course of the season they've grown stronger and are sort of a direct counter to Dortmund's squad.
@@Nice-ou8ps that’s true but again I would not be surprised if psg found a way to screw it up like they do always … either vs dortmund or in the finals !!! We shall see tho it should be some great games coming up who’s to say RM might beat man city u never know as great as pep is he sometimes overthinks what needs to be done on the field perfect example of that was the ucl final vs chealsy recently also another thing none of these teams that are left are great defensive teams I m expecting a wide open game back and forth that’s why I say u never know
In the end Atletico deserved there 4 goals but it has to be said Dortmund literally gave them 3 of them. If this can be corrected were gonna take down PSG!
9:49 😭💀😂💀💀😭😂💀 Luis thank you for being a good sport
Dortmund deserve lot of respect they made Germany proud but ESPN are not giving respect to them since they topped in the death of group beating Newcastle United both home and away it really hurted them a lot
Sancho smiling from ear to ear after he left Man Utd. 😏
I think even Poland defended better back in '39 than we did tonight, or this whole season for that matter. I still dont know how this team made the quarterfinals of the CL, semifinals of Copa del Rey, and top 4 in La Liga with this defending. And with Morata starting at number 9. I would even say Atleti are kind of over-achievers this season.
The way Atletico played in the first half, they were just not good enough to go further.
I can't understand why Witsel is chosen as center back over Saviç who is clearly better. In the final third they are very wasteful, can't pass well and can't finish off great chances.
Higher expected goal in both the legs yet could not get the job done, Dortmund deserved to go through.
this club is a joke, until the stupid board gets rids of these horrible defenders, and actually spends money, we will be in this same position every single year
Don’t you think it’s time to get rid off Simeone I mean what does he do for you guys honestly he’s the most paid coach and you can’t say he doesn’t have good players so how more time do he need to do something big with this team
We will end up getting grandpas
The board needs to go also. Can you believe we are linked with Marcos Alonso who is 33 years old ??
But Atletico spend quite a lot of money actually... They spend more than Dortmund.
@@therealone76t8 he's not, he's taken several paycuts over the years. Atleti's best defender is Axel Witsel, a 30+ DM who can't run, Simeone really isn't the problem.
I saw everyone from espn, kate Abdo n party etc underestimating dortmund like it would be a piece of cake for Atletico. Come on, i mean it is atletico not some man city or real madrid. Real football fans who watch both teams will know Dortmund do have a big chance esp. At signal iduna park
Generally both teams are always in the top 4 teams in their respective league so their superiority are always no doubt parallel in strength .. so never was a shocking result coz either team could go through ..
The group of death dortmund..psg...milan...Newcastle...semi finals in the champion league the top two in that group soccer is a funny game eh
It shows us that this was truly a group of death. When two teams from the same group meet again in semifinals it’s a fantastic achievement from both of them.
Juergen got every pick right not just Bundesliga
Sabitzer glad man utd didn’t keep him. 🤣
But at least we could get it to the club World Cup next year, which is positive
It literally makes no sense playing a club World Cup with the same mistake prone defense. The club is just taking up space in that competition for nothing
Why not, want went right for Dortmund instead of the other way around.
Fun fact: Jurgen Klinsmann was very close to joining Atleti, but when Gil Marin (then Atleti president and Mayor of Madrid) found out, he said something like, I dont want them gays playing at my club, and the move fell through.
Athletico played better at home all season. On the road is a struggle. Also there was no Lino playing either. That guy makes a difference too
For consistency and continuity more money would be required. Especially with Dortmund one can see that they are excellent in developing young players, but later on those players get bought by PL and La Liga teams (e.g. Haland, Bellingham, Dembelée, Lewandowski,……). Quite a few of world class players have been with Dortmund previously.
yeah, it's because when their players perform well then they would get a lot of media attention and bigger club would start offering them better wages, which Dortmund is unable to watch. In the end, Dortmund would decide to cash in when they can not match the wages the bigger clubs pay the players.
Then Dortmund will use that money and buy younger players and develop them. Then, again, the same cycle will repeat itself.
It's the kit
PL might not be better but the matches are way more entertaining than in the BL. Anyway, so far these QF matches in the CL have all been top shelf. Football doesn't get any better than that.
If u are a betting man just be patient and wait for ESPN pundits prediction. Go opposite to what ever thier prediction is Boy I tell u.. you gone cashout big time
😂
Nice to see Craig back after the weekend???
Fullkrug reminds me of H Hrubesch, the terrifying CF who was reknown for headed goals? 😅😅
