Clueless American REACTS to Guide to UCL ‘24 |

skipping the arsenal section is weak, but I suppose that is the spineless, cowardly behavior I should expect from a spurs fan..

Not even at the table considering Barca is well clear of Atleticó and they have been unbeaten for 11 games in a row. Yes around November/December Barca was actual dogshit but they recovered pretty solidly and since they're eliminated from the Copa and have no hope of catching Real in LaLiga, their focus is 100% the CL, similar to Bayern

[@GilangRamadhan-gi1dv]

Put all teams in the same bracket at the pretender list is stupidity. One of them should be a contender bcs one of them certainly will be in the final

His take about barca are horrendous how does it make sense that atletico are in the pretender tiers when we are better than us(there are fourth in laliga and they lost against us just like 3 game ago let be fr. We also not the manchester united of la liga since we litteraly won the ligue last(the last Time united won the ligue was in 2013) because (also messi started his career at 17 not 16 )

[@tevlar]

Im a Barcelona fan and everything he says is true. To many "fans" live in the past thinking we are still great when in truth we are broke after missmanagment from Bartomeu, can only afford rejects from other clubs that then goes on to fail in Barcelona (Garcia, Raphinha, Christensen, Inigo, Alonso, Torres, Romeu, Inaki, Kounde) buys old declining players like Lewandowski and relies heavily on youngsters like Lamal and Pedri. Bad RWB (Kounde) Weak CD (Araujo is ok but a bit overrated) Weak LWB that is only good in offense (Cancelo) Bad DM (Like Romeu? wtf) No real CM (Frenkie is not CM, Gundogan is ok there but old) Ok AM but a bit disjointed on who players where (Pedri/Gavi) No LW, (Torres is bad) Old striker (Lewandowsk heavily declined, Roque has been really bad so far) 1 good RW in Lamal. Lucky to even get this far in CL.

[@GilangRamadhan-gi1dv]

[@macmanuelodumeru3708]

​@@tevlar Your talking nonsense man. Barca is still currently the King of Spain, until Madrid detrones them come season end. But that is a normal thing. Finish first one season and second the next. The only dent on them is that they got knocked out from group stage of UCL 2 times. But that is past now. Barca is better than Athletico Madrid this season by far. They beat them twice. Higher in the league, more goals than them, more chances created, more xg. More everything.

[@vecx7]

barca fan here, call me bias if you want but i would agree with pretender if this was made 2 months ago, we are playing without 2 of our best players and havnt conceded a single goal in over a month, on a 11 game unbeaten streak after our injuries cleared up, dont underestimate them

[@LauraGS564]

And another mistake from Fat Asian. If Bayern beats Arsenal, they will face Real, not Barcelona.

Answer to the question for another video. India is mainly a cricket loving country, but there are parts where they love Football over cricket. North Eastern states, West Bengal, Goa & Kerala are football loving states in India. May India dont have a strong National team, but this fact dont stop the people to form fan club for another national teams or club teams and fight for them. when the last football worldcup happend in Qatar, a lot of Indians (esp from Kerala) were there to cheer their favvourite team and got a special mention on the fifa tweet. Kerala football or team Kerala Blasters will be a good starting point to know about Indian football.

Narrator: "Atletico reached the Final once in the past 3 decades" Twice actually, 2014 & 2016. Atletico is like Zlatan Ibrahimovich. They won every competition they entered except the UCL. They were runner-ups 3 times. They won Laliga (Spain's league) 11 times & were runner-ups 10 times. Won the Europa league 3 times. Won the Copa Del Rey (Spain's cup) 10 times & were runner-ups 8 times. Won the Spanish Super cup (between the winner of the league & cup games) 4 times & were runner-ups 6 times, & won the Europe Super cup the 3 times they reached it.

No the slow down of MC has nothing to do with Haaland less goals this season. Haaland is always Haaland, score a lot vs weaker opponents, and rarely score against big team, and when he did, MC already won the game so doesn't really impact the important moment for the club.

I feel like the world keeps sleeping on german teams. Bayern isnt that convincing but BVB in champions league mode at their Stadium is not easy to beat. They struggle to play on their full potential often but if they do play on their potential they are a extreme thread offensively. I dont think atletico is a favorite in this match. And PSG is carried by Mbappe but over all they still got a decent squad even without him. I think Barca is better but also not by faar.

Saying Atlético is going to destroy Dortmund is pretty dumb Atlético themselves are 4th fighting with Bilbao for the last UCL spot in La Liga and Dortmund is coming of a win in Der Klassiker is going to be a pretty close matchup .. also Xavi already said he's leaving at the end of the season, and Barca is currently trying to make him stay so that line about him getting fired makes no sense.

[@kimbirch1202]

Man City have no weaknesses . They dominate possession , and have many different goalscorers throughout the team. They could drop Haaland and still win the UCL.

[@CharlieyT95]

I’m not sure why he’s writing Barcelona off, PSG fall apart every time they play some actual opposition. And if Atletico beat Dortmund they’ll be playing Barca in the semi final and Barca just beat them 3-0 in the league.

[@jeudicielouvert2710]

Fat Asian ball knowledge is non existant,, let's be honest, Barça aren't that bad and PSG is building a young, exciting and for once coherent project for the future, Messi, Neymar departures were a blessing for PSG, financially and also in terms of the team, next year we'll be adding Xavi Simons and other players, PSG's future has never been brighter and never made this much sense

[@ZhangK71]

Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final at least twice…

[@zackrileyii8180]

FatAsian just looks at the league & judge by that. Man City have won all their champion league games no draws,no loses just with scoring 3 goals only. In the league they are just 4pts with a game in hand behind of last year performance. The only difference they conceded more goals this year than last year.

Bayern has a huge Coaching problem. Tuchel is (similar to Mourinho) a really bad Coach. Both spent only a little amount of time as players - and not at top teams. OK, you say. That is surely not the only criteria to become a good coach. Correct. But when you look at their coaching careers (very similar again), they were lucky to get offers from really great teams. Mainz, Dortmund, PSG, Chelsea and Bayern for Tuchel. Benfica, Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real, ManU, Tottenham and now Roma for Mourinho. And now let´s be honest: These are teams where you have not to teach players how to play football. Everybody who might have a UEFA Superlicence could coach these teams. As long as you have players with a good intelligence for the game you are winning. Compare them to Klopp: he had a 15 years junior experience, then 16 years as a pro player, coached for 12 years underdogs, before he came to Dortmund and later to Liverpool. Not only that he understands tactics, analytics and so on, he can handle his players on a very special way, because he lived all playre´s and coaches aspects through. And as always: please forgive me my bad english

[@Gia1911Logous]

I disagree that Barca are pretenders They are contenders And definitely better than atletico who they have destroyed twice this year and sit above them in the league Barca for me are favourites to be finalists Also the best thing for me is watching good freakin football and this year there are only 3 teams delivering it in the top 5 leagues Barca, Man City and Arsenal... and I'm a Spurs fan (we've also been entertaining but not as much) And Barca does a lot and should boast and brag about their young talents because they're seriously a joybto watch A 16 year old Yamal humiliated Napoli and Brazil recently He already has like 20 years experience as a 16 year old Who cares about goals When I watch Messi I don't watch him for the goals I watch him for how he plays I can see why he's the GOAT So what if Yamal doesn't score? He made a chokehold on La Liga He owns the league already And Barca is La Liga's Man United? 😂😂😂 Yeah ok Ever since Franco died, Real Madrid lost its grip on spain Barca has been dominant in spain for the past 50 years and through thick and thin they've been winning la liga titles again and again

15:20 I disagree, man city haven’t been as good this season because KDB and Rodri missed quite a number of games this season, also they sold Güdoğan who was the captain and a stable midfielder. Has nothing to do with their Victoria last season, not to mention they’ve been victorious for almost every season the past 6 years 6:01 Fantasian’s knowledge is questionable. PSG literally sold their star players in purpose of rebuilding the squad based on what’s needed. They always get knocked out of the UCL cuz they were too stacked with star players who were big enough to do whatever they want. This seasons PSG are miles better and more balanced as a whole compare to last season. And also Dembele, Kang-in, Goncalo Ramos and Asensio are not just “The Guy” lmaooo
