THE DEBRIEF: Tobin Heath Debriefs the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final (Lyon v Barcelona)

[@portlandthorns9929]

You call CGH "pillow feet" and you're definitely in the same category, you're the reason why i cared about soccer in America, an absolute joy to watch you play.

[@Thovarain]

Agree 100 %. Graham-Hansen should be Ballon d'Or winner.

[@tashrif46]

Lucy Bronze is an exceptional player. She might not get the overwhelming plaudits, but she is vitally important to every team she is a part of.

[@allocat586]

Alexia really is extraordinary! I didn't have any reason to root for Barca, but watching her play made me a fan. The only jerseys I own are Tobin's and her's. This goal was so cathartic and I really hope it helps catapult her back into the form she was in when she won the two Ballon D'ors.

[@MrSudeepdas]

I have been fortunate to watch & understand Brazil 82 with Zico, Socrates, Falcao & Eder in midfield - the greatest team to play the beautiful game in a beautiful way. Of course, in Tobin's view they won't matter because they didn't win anything just like Cruyff's Holland in 74. Alexia reminds me of Socrates. Her telepathic connection with Jenni Hermoso made me a fan of Barca women in 2018. It was like watching Zico & Socrates working their way through the centre of compact defenses. Mesmerizing football.

[@hmccharmedgirl]

Applauding Lindsey! And the winner of this debrief; the amount of times Tobin said “football.” 🖤

[@juanluque9687]

La filosofía del Barça de Jona Giraldez : 1er. gol de Aitana tras 25 toques de balón sin que O.Lyon tocará el balón. 2° gol, Alexia inicia la jugada en su campo,sigue la jugada hasta el área de Lyon y remata la asistencia de Claudia Pina. Conclusión: posesión,control,asociaciación de las jugadoras = Triunfo. El más puro estilo Guardiola.

[@thereallg4587]

*Love the Lindsey horan shoutout. Even giving her shoutouts before they were teammates with psg.*

[@lesliebriggs2704]

Really enjoy the debriefs! Love the insight and the humor! Great job, Tobin! 👍🏻

[@wendy226]

Kudos to the editor 👏

[@r2dad282]

I appreciate the content, and especially the mention of a soft touch being important and valued as a skill. Wish this was longer so you could get more into the weeds. Lyon had their chances early on and if they were better at finishing on the day an early goal would have changed the face of the match. Chances not taken! Match seemed so tight until that Barca goal.

[@anger101]

Loved the debrief! Now adding “pillow feet” to my lexicon.

[@AgnetaK-r3m]

Well spoken Tobin 👍 Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@aletapequena]

Best rendition of the Champion's song ever. I tried myself during the final and I think that all the wildlife in my city surroundings warped toward safe ground.

[@tashrif46]

Caroline Graham Hansen. Women of the match. What a performance. She was electrifying to watch

[@MrSudeepdas]

Insightful debrief by one of those rare technical players to emerge from USA. Although I differ on couple of your observations. Agree: - football is a game that you play with your brains: Cruyff (this is engraved on La Masia entrance wall) - modern football is a game of chess in the midfield - Barca & Lyon are only women's teams capable of playing modern football like a top men's outfit; Barca for 90', Lyon inconsistent - finer margins that you called dichotomy went Barca's way (every champion team in history needed that rub of the green) - Alexia, CGH (& Jenni) are among the greatest footballing brains across genders - CGH is the feminine avatar of Garrincha - Horan was fantastic with her gritty football Disagree: - how you play the game is as important as winning; fans from technical nations like Spain, Italy, France, Portugal & Netherlands appreciate that - despite outwitting an opponent, a much better team can lose due to finer margins not going their way - the process brings success in the long run - Brazil 1982, Holland 1974 are teams that never won anything but are still celebrated for their impact on modern football & frequently crop up in discussions about greatest teams to play the game When will US system start teaching young girls to take care of the ball instead of their opponents? With such financial, cultural, population & infrastructure resources USWNT should be dominating WoSo. When will the system move away from rugby football?

[@c0f3324]

I like the debrief, keep it coming

[@portlandthorns9929]

Couldn't agree more with all the praises you give Horan, she's doing an important job paving the way for future American players, it has been sickening to see all the reddit bros and facebook boomers insisting that she's there for her husband because god forbid that players choose other leagues not named nwsl because they think those are better competitions and that women making career decisions without revolving around men.

[@diane1926]

I love the editing 🤣 This show is GREAT

[@Loverof4s]

The editing is 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 So funny

[@bmoney5970]

the stomp when talking about Alexia KILLED me

[@mracer8]

Great game and Great Debrief! the Barc fan there was unbelievable! so much passion and energy!! The thing I really want to talk about(unrelated to this game) is when Jonatan Giraldez become the manager of the Spirit, will he be or be able to bring Barc style of playing to Spirit considering the player was bought up to play a different way or will he have to instead adapted more toward the traditional US style of "football"? Is he coming to Spirit by himself or bring along some of his "barcelona" staff aka Emma style?

[@portlandthorns9929]

Forget about the "barca style", you said it yourself, the players didn't grow up playing the proper soccer, they were immersed in the rough athletic football style, that's how everyone in this country plays at every level and age group, all muscles and cardio, inferior soccer brain. They will never be able to play the beautiful passing soccer that Barca do week in week out, the only way to have that is to import those players to one team.

[@zainetteramos5554]

It is my understanding that Jona isn't bringing any of the current Barca staff. He already had a coach from Español, as the assistant coach.The rest of the Barca staff will stay with Pere Romero,the incoming coach. Pere is one of Jonas assistant coaches.

[@Teachr.]

More a combination of both. You cant play a barca as us. These girls have been playig like this since la masia days 10 12 14 the equivalant is he pep 2009 wih messi iniesta xavi busquets thiago. Been playing together for years and undetsand each pther like no other. Same for aitana alexia patri pina ona. I see them more playing like carolina courage having allot of posession with a combination of direct play.

[@lauramelotti9416]

Love the sound effects

[@SugerKick]

Puteyas two LL’s turns into y in Spanish 😃 for me to take you seriously you have to say her name correct

[@abfanatic4766]

5:59 Lindsey Horan didn’t start and let alone play last years Champions League final as it was a match between VfL Wolfsburg and FC Barcelona

[@joseluisalvarez5809]

1:30 Si me permites la corrección, a Jonathan Giráldez aún le quedan dos partidos de Liga F por disputar como entrenador del FCBarcelona, aunque la Liga F ya la ganó el FCB hace 3 o 4 jornadas.

[@sushienlapradera]

The player that made me fall in lov with womens football (tobogan) praising my favorite team in the world! nice

[@nataliatmontano2708]

I get that i sound like an old lady, but a small suggestion... Can you please please lower the volume of the sound effects to a more "background noise" level? I beg you.🙏🙏🙏

[@Augustso_Spoons]

Wow an incredible song. Spotify when?

[@Katsoles717]

Agreed, best content ever.

[@Shazkai1]

Lucy Bronze was PHENOMENAL

20 minutes, please

Tobin Heath - one of women's football's most technical players - calling CGH "pillow feet" 🥰

[@VeryGoodsoup]

Loved this but definitely needs to be longer!! Energy of the fans before, during and after the game was unbelievable. You would have thought you were in Barcelona and not Bilbao. ❤

[@PaulKRedd]

Love the Horan shout. So many US football pundits downplay Horan because she is not in the US. Skip college soccer. Go pro and go to Europe young. That's courage, and leadership. The future top players will do this in both women and men. (Ok the two Champ League finals she started were NOT consecutive. They were LYON"s last two finals appearances and 2 of the last three years.)

[@c0f3324]

Can you pls interviews some of spanish players, wsl players pls. Would be really nice pls bring in lucy bronze, kiera, alexia, aitana, patri, mariona etc.

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Tobin (and Christen). Football! I was beside myself at having to pick my girlfriend up from work and go do some jobs for her instead of watching the game (I know my place). I did manage to avoid finding out the score and watch on DAZN on KZbin as if live. I was not disappointed. It was everything you said. Good Debrief. I commented before that I watched every Barcelona game since the English players arrived. The team are a joy to watch. The other Spanish teams are falling behind they are so good. Like I mentioned in your comments after the World Cup, if US investors put money into some of the other teams on condition that young US players got that chance you mentioned, to train and play overseas, surely it could only benefit both sides of the deal?

[@For_Cruyff_Sake]

Isn't that the song intro for the men's theme song? 🤦‍♀️Tobin gaffe 😅

[@itseveryday8600]

Lyon FWs were too focused on getting behind the defenders and didnt use the space between the lines, where as Alexia did and scored that goal.

[@franktadley1810]

AH, go Lindsey.... Great game

[@javierluissantosrubio6603]

"These are the champions Die besten Les grandes equipes The champions" It has always bothered me that the anthem ignored the Italian and Spanish languages, they are the most successful in Europe. In any case, it is the anthem of the men's champions, the women's anthem is another in the same epic style.

[@sinyilam5469]

Tobin can sing 😍 thinking about cutting that as jingle ！

[@Nelladrama633]

The play off didn't help us because it was the same 11 and our Mildelfied did work Well Dumoray wasn't in her comfortable position. We missed so many chance to score. Cascarino Wasn't there Diani was so low. We lost in the tactics area. I know you maybe a barcelona.fan don't worry we will be in tve Final again and we will take our throne.

[@jessicaevl]

Amazing

[@ali.cg11]

I wonder if Tobin says football in her dreams too 😂❤⚽️

[@ConnieSanchez]

debrief the Liga Mex Femenil final 😵

[@delfmendez4311]

Tobin is trying to catch up with Femenil soccer such as Spain. Remember when she belittled their winning the World Cup last year by saying “Well done Spain. Well done to Japan who beat them 4 - 0.” There’s tremendously great women’s soccer in Hispanic based teams as well.

[@lassam333]

Great analysis of the Champions League final, unfortuntely Tobin got the wrong anthem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYqom5lrptBparc I was rooting for Lyon, but Barcelona was bVttVr in converting chances. The goal by Alexia Putellas was the absolute highlight of this awesome final.

[@Pumpkin-vg1ur]

Graham-Hansen. That is all.

[@prometheustv6558]

Well deserved Barcelona dominated Lyon. Barcelona won all their duels and created better opportunities

[@Olive-gd3wn]

Olive, la barre ne compte pas, l'arbitre avait siffler faute. Barça a contrôlé le rythme du jeu la plupart du temps.

[@Olive-gd3wn]

@@pescasaladacocktailbar7093 la faute est sifflée après parce qu'il y a faute commise parce que le ballon ne rentre pas.La faute est commise parce qu'il y a duel suite au retour du ballon.Controler le jeu par le Tiki taka ok mais ce qui compte c'est les occasions franches et les buts.Faire du Tiki taka pendant une heure sans marquer quel intérêt.Mais ok vous marquer sur deux erreurs de défense rien a dire.

[@hahafalseflag5090]

If I'm correct. Lindsey has been in France since she graduated high school?

[@Footy4life15]

No. She left at 17 and spent 3 1/2 yrs with PSG. Jill told her If she wanted to play for the national team, she had to Come back and play in the states. Unfortunately how they did it back then. Spent 6 yrs at Portland and then signed a one year loan deal with Lyon in 2022 and the club permanently signed her in 2023 thru 2026.

[@zainetteramos5554]

I think she was with PSG then she went back to NWSL and since 2021 she has been with Lyon.

[@thereallg4587]

She played at psg at 18 yrs old. Stayed until the end of 2015. Then played with Portland until 2021. Then she played for lyon in 2022 and won a champions league with them that season.

[@Wladislav]

⚡⚡⚡ I don't think Bonmati's goal was a shot on goal at all, I think she was crossing the ball to CGH arriving at the far post.

[@catman518]

😂 Tobin's lost it... She makes me laugh.

[@enriqueveglio5034]

On the 1st goal, I have to disagree. Aitiana is trying to center for Graham or Paralluelo, who were making the runs to space. Lyons' defender unfortunately deviates the center's throw into the net. Look at the angle of Aitiana's pass. There was more chance of a goal from a center than going straight to goal from that angle.
