[@syedmustafa3929]

After reading some comments it seems Real Madrid's against the world...

[@Tifo]

I think a lot of people would like to see Juve win because Real have won 2 of the last 3! - Danny

[@cant_handle_deeznuts]

Doesn't bother me, we will prove once again Real Madrid is the best team in the world. Regardless of how Juve will play, Real hasn't failed to score at least one goal in a match this season so Juve's defence will break at some point. I also think Juve's defence is overrated, Monaco could have scored a few goals if they were more clinical which Real are.

[@syedmustafa3929]

musiclover Thats the spirit...HALA MADRID

[@love4ever870]

musiclover overrated pff.. which is why we haven't conceded a goal from barcelona (neymar messi and suarez) for 180 minutes And we have only conceded 3 goals in the competition

[@kaychikumbi2289]

Fuck Real Madrid..arrogant team and fans

[@mohammadericzulkarnaen7150]

BBC vs BBC Pjanic vs Modric Zidane vs Allegri Real Madrid vs Rest of the world 😂😂😂😂

[@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights]

Juventus has the harder BBC. Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini would fuck Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo up in a fight.

[@najeebrazuck2912]

I prefer BIC. Isco deserve to start

[@ErebosElter]

Kepala Bana then that would be IBC, no way is Isco starting in the center of attack

[@Karthik-fj8rz]

Kepala Bana Isco is coming on a massive form, but he can't play as dynamic as bale. Bale helps the team in every way. Both attack and defence. His pace is crucial to run past the back three of juve, and dominate them in the air. Isco only can find pass, which modric does better with bale. Modric and bale duo can turn deadly if properly used. So bale should start infant of isco.

[@mohammadericzulkarnaen7150]

Karthikeyan Saravanan yeah thats true. Isco will face real nightmare in the middle pitch. but, if Zizou put bale it will be easier to cut Juventus defense from right flank.

[@mihaitudorescu5190]

THIS CHANNEL IS FULL OF SHIT THAT WHY?

[@neydrasyt3335]

4-1 for Real, the attack win

[@mepkn]

So it's literally going to be Modric vs Pjanic.

[@akb6459]

Praveen Nirmalkar not exactly... if kroos fails, Madrid finished.... only way to play against juventus is careful n precise passing.

[@siam9914]

akhil babu no. only way to beat then is to beat their defensive wall. real need pace. real need bale and dani carvahal back ASAP

[@rahulpandey3325]

Implying kroos ever fails, the highest passing accuracy in the top 5 leagues. In my personal opinion, juve scores a goal, with a defensive miss hash (counter) and then madrid replies back from the set piece, leading the game to ET, after that I dunno, would depend highly on subs. But if the match go to penalties, I'd rather bet my money on madrid for their calm experienced head than juve nervous to win their first CL in more than 20 years.

[@idontknowwhy0]

Bale is just gonna get injured, we have isco so I'm not too worried about that. However, Carvajal passed his medical if I recall correctly. So they're both back in training.

[@XfotisRonaldo]

idontknowwhy0 I dont know sure about bale but carvajal is 100% ready

[@rafaelalberto7127]

Ronaldo destroys any defence

[@shivzzi]

Mandzukic has been amazing this season! Traditional number 9 but played as a winger, striker and even a fucking full back!

[@nkegoaekokobe1866]

Potato when was he full back??

[@ennioarcidiacono1151]

Nkegoa Ekokobe he play in every position every single match in that left lane

[@shivzzi]

against barcelona he was wing back. and exactly the man is a machine.

[@caesar1752]

A great analysis ! But when you have Cristiano Ronaldo these things sometimes end up being pointless

[@fathimohamed3469]

lol op fan

[@ebm4017]

Caesar 1 Yep like a non existing penalty :v

[@michaelo1878]

coldblood008 dude just stop. Idk how you think youre relevant because after that stupid comment about only tap ins you clearly arent relevant

[@haroonbakoban8225]

He is not just any Tap-in Artist, He is called the Tapin-aldo (Picasso of Tap-ins if you will) Scoring goals is the most important thing in football, and Ronaldo is'nt just about tap-ins these days, his long range shots are crucial, his Headers to make comebacks, his Counter-attacking ability, and even drawing players to himself, Allowing Isco and Modric the space they need.

[@md.fakhruddin1012]

coldblood008 there is surely something in him that has taken him this far I mean none of his skills are extraordinary his quite a basic player but and it seems like there are millions of players who are way better than him however I believe there is something in him that sets him apart otherwise he wouldn't be in Real Madrid fist team .

I am a Juventus fan. I was born in 1995, and since then i've never seen my team winning the Champions League. yes, it's true, we won it in '96. I was one! what I wish, is that we'll be able to make all the effort this team has put through all these years become reality. #finoallafine

[@TheXoninu20]

Leonardo Santini i was born in 89. so i sow them lose 2 finals:( 1against milan on pen and barca. i hope this is the year that they will lift the trophy:))

[@TheElvin1991]

4 finals Sean!?

[@TJaeSpeaks]

I've learnt more about football tactics here than anywhere else. Great video and I hope it's a good final.

[@ESJ2476]

For Real Madrid, the equation is pretty simple. Attack, Attack and Attack. I am extremely worried about that right back. If carvajal returns and starts, Sandro will have a lot of trouble. If Danilo starts, the fear of Sandro running all over him is there. For me, I would go with Nacho. Nacho is having a great season and he has a whole lot of experience playing in the right before. And i would prefer not to risk carvajal immediately. It would be good if Isco starts ahead of Bale. And James and Asensio coming on as substitues. I am Predicting a 1-1 draw at the end of 120mins. Penalties? I am not very sure about that. Why dont you guys predict who will win if the game is going to shootouts. Great video by the way. Thanks alot!

[@eugenex18]

once again another amazing and in-depth tactics explained video! I would love to see you guys try to coach a group of players in real life (even though it is going to be very difficult)!!

[@siu281]

Gareth Bale How's your injury Gareth? Will you be fit for Cardiff?

[@eugenex18]

yeah getting there, hoping the gaffer will put me in the line-up :D

[@signoresantinoburnett1169]

Juve did score 21 goals, and should get more respect for their attack also. This is more then Offensive Real Madrid, vs Defensive Juventus.

[@SASMADBRUV7]

As a neutral I actually want Real Madrid to win even though I desperately hoped Buffon can get a UCL title. But messi fanboys (not even Barcelona fans) annoy the hell out of me. Can you forgive me?

[@anithegreat6632]

SFAAPK7 haha no brother let's prove to the world that RM can beat Juve without any offside goals

[@SASMADBRUV7]

Leoul Andargie I'm not. As a Liverpool fan I hated Ronaldo. But there is something about messi fanboys such as when they treat him like a God way more than Ronaldo fanboys do and as a result never give players that kept Barcelona winning (puyol, Xavi, iniesta) any credit.

[@thepoint3515]

I agree Messi fanboys are the worst in football history.

[@ryancasey7713]

Nirvik Selwal stopped reading at, "I support Liverpool too"

[@misosesic]

Real Madrid and ManUTD dont have rivalry.Read abouth Busby Babes and what Real did for ManUTD after the acident.One doesn"t forget such help.

[@LARdTLARdT]

Very interesting análisis with beautiful graphics although as an old-style Real Madrid fan I would go with the inmortal saying of Di´Stefano's "Sometimes people forget that fútbol is easy, You only have to score moré goals than the other team"

[@TheBloodsuger150]

Feels like the neutral is really rooting for Juventus. Plus, nobody wants Real to retain the Champions League.

[@awesome1ru]

Michael Ampadu they will win, why? cuz they faced tougher defence b4 in athletico and bayern

[@firstlast7584]

awesome1ru nope juventus has better defence than borh

[@berbafan67]

Bayern defence tough??? Are you for real? plus Juve's defence is much better then Atletico's

[@pratiksuleforever]

Oliver Payne neutrals obliviously will hate real....cause they win too much....

[@siam9914]

neur is better than buffon. oblak isnt bad either. both bayern and atleti has amazing defence. before bayern faced real, they had not conceded any header in any competition then neur faced ronaldo and boom. trashed them in both legs.

[@TheYORK21]

One salty Barca fan didn't like this video.

[@pratiksuleforever]

Dean Simonse one?? thousands r coming 😂😂

[@Alzato]

I'm a Barca fan and really liked this video being a Barca fan doesn't mean I'm not a Football fan i love the game that's why i watch it for some reasons people think you're only allowed to watch your teams matches :|

[@maxwelljoer8326]

Dean Simonse True. Ohh there they are 😂

[@chelsea2807]

Wow 😳 lots of Barcelona fans here

[@dicktracy4306]

Juventus is both the unstoppable force and the immovable object. It's not just the number of goals, it's also how they got in. Both QF and SF were handed to Real on a silver platter, Atletico was especially appalling in how they shat themselves in the first leg. This year is Juventus vs Fear of Choking, with Real as a special sideguest that gets the cup in case FoC wins. Real is a more experienced Monaco, with virtually the same flaws and a somewhat more overrated defense. If Juventus took down Barcelona and Monaco, they should tear Real up, but Juventus has choked under every condition imaginable, so we'll see.

[@mussaalphaxard985]

Personal view; The only tactical decision Zidane should device is 4-1-4-1, Casemiro at DM, Modric and Kroos at CM, Isco LW, Vasquez RW and Ronaldo CF. This counters Juve WB with two defensive minded wingers (Isco + Vasquez) relieving Kroos and Modric to orchestrate the game. Modric or Kroos can push ahead to help Ronaldo leaving Casemiro as a cover. This particular scheme leaves the battle at Midfielders whom Madrid might excel. If Allegri shift to 4-2-3-1, Zidane can go with his Precious diamond. Still its a hard match. Sorry for my English

[@herosupportnews]

In actuality this is what happened: Juventus played with very high intensity in the first half and thats why were better initially but to sustain such intensity for 90 min is hard .. So when they settled .. Madrid steamrolled them.

[@bradleyjacob3984]

CR7 king ballon d'or

[@harsinomercy]

excellent analysis of both the teams ! I would say Juve will go with 3-4-3 plus they have Dani Alves who has alot knowledge about Real Madrid's game ..I would say Madrid will stick with 4-3-3 and bake to start over Isco ..they will use pace to exploit the defence

[@aaronstorey9712]

Harsimran Singh 4-4-3? I think you miscounted mate

[@harsinomercy]

Aaron Storey thank you my mistake :)

Brilliant analysis--always appreciated. One helpful suggestion: on the tactical diagrams, instead of black/red circles (which can be confusing), use different solid colors or shapes.

[@789french5]

can you talk more about Ligue 1? Like why it is never talked about and never goes very far in European competitions (minus PSG and Monaco from time to time) Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, Lyon etc. have created some of the the best players of this generation!

[@dicksonh]

4-3-4 formation? You may be drunk😂😂😂

[@sciencelover4269]

He meant 4-2-4.

[@justanothergamer7410]

you know what he meant though it was a bit funny

[@nerdstark9002]

Was he talking about real? Maybe he included the linesman?

[@Mark-xm1yd]

It's kinda pointless complaining about referees but this season especially real have got big help in the CL from bad decisions. hope juve don't get robbed tomorrow.

[@haroonbakoban8225]

i think you are talking about the 2 offside goals in Quarter finals, remove them, the score was still 4-3 so we win anyways. :P

[@dancemechanic1708]

If Juventus plays with a 3-5-2, they would essentially be playing with 12 outfielders and that would overpower Real Madrid if we play a 4-3-1-2. This final is going to be tough.

[@AhmedTechno10]

Finally something about real madrid.

[@ragilmalik]

#TeamMadrid lets gather here and pray. just don't say anything, stay quiet with me. We vs the world. If we win, the we will come back here and trash talk everyone here. what matters is who laugh at the end, not who talks first 🙏

[@justguess8839]

rl mlk sign me up!

[@yakeenrahman511]

good that you know the rest of the world is rooting for juve

[@ragilmalik]

RANDOM GAMER everyone knows. i think even RM squad know it too. i mean, buffon, chellini, who don't want them to lift thropy ? c'mon ? they are superb players. but i stay on my side with RM. i just have to keep in mind that juve is one of the strongest side because of their defence (plus their 3-4-3 system inherited from italia squad) and we are one of the most well known attacking and counter attack side in history. so that has to be an interesting game to watch, as both sides represent the strongest elements in a football game on their own (defence vs offence)

[@zansyed7549]

rl mlk hala Madrid y nada mas!

[@jacamo727]

juventus supporter here , and challenge gladly accepted

[@robbyatwood7734]

These big games are won in the midfield and Real Madrid has the edge in that department. If Isco plays Juve's defense will be troubled but if Bale plays I think he'll struggle to get in the game and Juventus will have the edge.

[@Ianthefatboy]

I wonder if either Allegri or Zidane watch this video lol

So what we learned after the game is that when an unstoppable force vs an immovable object = immovable object get wrecked xD

[@basmatiChawal24-7]

That defense got butchered

[@ajamocampbell9143]

This is one of the best videos you have done I'm expecting it to be a fantastic final and hoping for Juventus victory and also made a fantastic point about Juventus not sitting deep and waiting for counter attack once again great video

[@UmarKhan-qx7fc]

as a neutral.. i will support real madrid because Attacking football is the real football😎 though i like leonardo bonucci's defensive capabilities. modric and pjanic are extremely talented, but madrid has an advantage with KROOS LONG PASSES MATE , LONG PASSES.

[@khgfdzhgtfdr1211]

You're not a neutral at that point.

[@emilandersson8292]

[@StandardEnglish]

real only has 1 clean sheet while juv has 9. juv also scored in every single game except vs barca second leg. Conclusion, real's attack make people forget their bad defence and Juv's defence make people foget their good attack

[@rebeccasaibene8487]

Totally agree. It's gonna be a great match

[@dh41400]

Usually Madrid don't need to defend much because they just outscore most opponents, but do not be deceived, Madrid knows how to play lock down defense when facing a top opponent. After all Zidane was playing in Italy :)

[@StandardEnglish]

dh41400 ok then lets remember juv is unbeaten while real has lost but nobody recalls it

[@dh41400]

It's because Madrid are required to entertain, not just win, which leads to conceded goals. But in biggest games, they change the way they play, move and cover in defence. You'll see what I'm talking about when the game starts.

Real Madrid’s 2017-2018 Full Champions League Season Highlights and/or Analysis. For the love of the World’s Greatest Sport, for the love and passion of reporting and creating, consider producing this idea and content for a video or report. If not motivated by my words, nor influenced by money, be inspired by HISTORY. For awhile now, I’ve been searching tirelessly for Real Madrid’s 2017-18 Champions Leagues Highlights-THE FULL SEASON. I see no one has done this. I know this isn’t your niche, but could you consider this? Maybe even challenge yourself to produce a video addressing and analyzing each of Real’s 17/18 Champions League matches ? If you’re not interested or this is too taxing, difficult, maybe you are connected enough with other content creators and pitch (mention) this idea? Real Madrid Champions League 2017-2018 Fixtures: Apoel (1st in Greece) Tottenham (3rd in England) Dortmund (4 in Germany) Paris (1st in France) Bayern (1st in Germany) Juventus (1st in Italy) Winning vs Liverpool (4th in England) Won 3rd Consecutive Champions League Title (plus 4 out of 5 Champions League titles-this statistic alone puts Barcelona’s entire Champions League 63 year history in shame, since they won 5 in that time and came in 2nd 3 times, compared to Real winning 13 and tying Barcelona’s second place runners-up 3 times). My reason as to mention Barcelona is only to put into perspective of the incredible feats of Real Madrid’s Champions League matches of the 2017-18 season. To compare both teams that are, in fact, the Best Teams/Squads Of The World (during this season* Bayern Munich, Juventus, and many English Clubs are not far behind). My wording may implicate that I am taking away due credit to Barcelona-this is honesty not my purpose. For the love of the World’s Greatest Sport, for the love and passion of reporting and creating, consider producing this idea and content for a video or report. If not motivated by my words, nor influenced by money, be inspired by HISTORY. Thank you, eternally: Chapel Being a reporter and content creator, my professional, moral, ethical, but most importantly NON-BIASED principles are first and foremost, thus creating and reporting, for “the World’s Sport”, that is embedded by passion, and an unyielding and inflexible sense pride and passion is the most difficult profession in this world.

Fuckin' Hell man! YOu really hit the nail straight in the head! Awesome!

[@javiermolina999]

Too many Real Madrid haters... It's clear who has won it more times. Juve totally deserves the trophy, but Real will fight until minute 93. Hala Madrid.

[@omaromaromar84]

Juventus will play deep with a 3-4-3 where manzukic teams up with left full back on Carvajal, while the other side of the pitch will have the actual fight, Balzary defensively and Alvas offensively versus Casimero defensively and Marcelo offensively and this side has the weakest defensive players as Balzari is 36 and Casimero is likely to have cards or get caught out of position, and strongest offensively as Alvas and Marcelo with help of Dybala and Benzema makes the biggest difference. The pitch will be deviated to the left side of Real (Right of Juve) and whoever players on the day on this side will win them the game through Ronaldo and Huguain!

[@easymoney153]

Just for the record,Real Madrid make the pitch wider when having possession,i think Madrid will overpower Juve if Bale and Carvajal star.Mark my words

So...if the games comes down to Modric v Pjanic.Just imagine what Yugoslavian national team would be like now.By the way Juve will win ..dont foresee Juve losing yet another final to a Spanish club.

If Modric and Kroos are on form..no one can stop Real Madrid from winning the Champions league. Forget the attacking of Real Madrid or the Impenatrable defence of Juve, the battle will be won by the midfield.

Real Madrid's defensive acumen is definitely underestimated, however, against Atleti last season, Pepe frankly disgusted me with the simulation he attempted on 3 occasions without getting a single yellow card, generally, the Real Madrid back line annoys me, as I see it, you can be a hard man like Nemanja Vidic or you can try to be a tactical diver like *insert one of thousands of footballers who meet this criterion here*, however Pepe and Ramos (although Varane may play instead of Pepe) are just terrible for the way they behave. Overall, I think that Juve have too much class, I think Real will need to devolve the game, when they had their second leg against Atleti, it took a moment of brilliance in Benzema but it took a scuffed shot from Isco to crawl between Oblak's hands to beat them. I think if Real try to play Juve, they will lose, Juve are brutal on the break. I think Dybala is too clever for Ramos and will likely dribble Ramos into a yellow card and have a bit more space as a result for the rest of the game. Also with Mandzukic in there too, it creates a very good overload when the three get together with two physical players in Mandzukic and Higuain and a tricky guy in Dybala. I dont see Ronaldo bullying any of the Juve back line or being able to outclass them. Not to mention that Juve will have some seriously brilliant players in reserve, should they need them. Real's best sub would be Morata (assuming Bale isn't fit, although if he is, Isco, or Bale, depending on who starts) whereas Juve can replace almost anyone, they have, Rugani, Asamoah, Marchisio who can revitalise a defence if it tires (this is all disregarding the fact that Barzagli is pretty amazing too. I do love Juve honestly, but I think that if Real dont play a scrappy, conniving attacking game, their only hope is that Higauin has another shocker in a final (like in Brazil 2014)

PALMEIRAS vs juve final world times 2017.1951 is repeated

if Real play the 4.2.3.1, they'll be playing right into Juve's hands(considering that they play with their usual 3 at the back).
