Why Are Real Madrid So Good? | EP 117

Was it a mistake to substitute Harry Kane in Bayern Munich’s Champions League defeat? Would you rather have Vinicius Junior or Kylian Mbappe in your side? Will a Premier League spending cap work better than the current Profitability and Sustainability Rules?
Gary, Alan and Micah also discuss David Moyes’ upcoming departure from West Ham and whether he has been harshly treated.

Stop calling it a disallowed goal, there was no goal. Once the whistle blew any subsequent action or play doesn't count.

[@user-ww4vl8kl3p]

People are feeling like the "goal" would have sent Bayern Munchen to the final, but : one, Real Madrid players stopped playing, as did the goalkeeper. Two, it would have sent the game into extra time, and Bayern had to survive 30+ minutes without their three best offensive players. It could have perfectly gone 5-2

What can be seen at Real Madrid is that they manage all the football records and the players apply themselves thoroughly to comply with the demands of each match. Everyone fights for the team and doesn't stop until the referee whistles. That is a sign of humility and respect for the sport in which Real Madrid are undoubtedly the kings.

[@fredrikstaelvonholstein6458]

Joselu has actually scored 17 goals this season

[@abody499]

7:27 - wrong Micah. Completely wrong. *You have assumed that if there was no flag that there would have been a goal.* You can only speculate about what would have happened because the whistle blew and almost 3 seconds passed from the start of the whistle to the ball hitting the net. Rudiger, Militao, and Lunin had all stopped. Militao made a half effort to block it as you would in that situation and Lunin was standing upright when de Ligt hit it. I speculate that either (a) Militao blocks it, or (b) Lunin saves it, or (c) Rudiger also gets back to assist Militao and blocks it. Seems to me the chances of it ending up in the net if no flag goes up are very slim. Therefore, they did not get a goal chalked off. There was no goal. For a goal to chalked off, it needs to be, for example, Joselu's second - he scores with first touch, the linesman raises the flag, and the ref chalks it off. THAT is a disallowed goal.

Real Madrid did comeback in their first European Cup final against Stade de Reims in 1956. They have been coming back since... forever. What most people don't get is that every other club have a playing philosophy or style but Real Madrd simply has a goal: to win. That's why many pundits talk about in a way that comes to show that they don't understand the importance and the difference of those two positions: for them is not about playing football is about winning championships.

[@tahirsajjad4323]

As a Madrid fan, The refree made a mistake, the question is not whether or not it was an offside, He should have let the play on. But I'm not sure how any of it is Madrid's fault. We have suffered multiple times this season due to absolute incompetence of refrees, but no one mentions that. Still remember when the ref blowed the whistle while the cross was in the air and then disallowed the goal and gave Bellingham a RED.

[@kentond19]

The thing about Vini Jr for me is that he is so relentless. He runs all game. He never shies away from the ball and always looks to take on his marker with a new trick. That must be hell to play against. Top 1 in football right now.

[@nevarran]

The more you do this kind of comebacks, the more you expect them to happen. If you do it once, next time when the end of the game is close and you start getting nervous, you think that maybe it will happen again. If you're going it time and time again, next time the end of the game is close you are certain you'll get your chance. I watched a few videos from fans in the stadium, and in all of them you can hear the spectators saying even after the 80th minute "it's ok, we're Real Madrid, we can turn this around". And that's exactly how the players on the pitch feel. And even more, the opposing team is on the other end of the spectrum. They are like "this is Real on Bernabeu, they will hit us".

[@morgansdnews1155]

Specialy the opponents when they have a small lead like a goal or 2. They become nervous because they know Real Madrid is coming and many of them start making mistakes. Once Real Madrid scores a goal the game is over.

[@jean-lucdacouri3477]

Get it right, Real Madrid defence played to the referee blowing the whistle, the players stopped when the whistle went, if the referee action didn’t take place there was no guaranty the German player would score, he took the shot maybe he didn’t hear the whistle or did it to see what would happen. It was later revealed that the whistle went too early after video review.

[@abethebae6018]

It’s the fact that the linesman put his flag up too early that’s the problem. Sure you can argue that the players stopped but a goal could’ve still been scored maybe even in a different way and not exactly the way that DeLigt scored but we’ll never know because of the linesman.

What I find amusing is that there seems nothing wrong with adding 6 minutes to the 9 min of extra time. Most claim they disallowed a goal yet all players had stopped so we dont know if it would have been a goal or not. So why do thay keep saying they disallowed a goal? It just shows how biased views are. I do agree that shouldnt have been whisteled, but at the same time the match should have also been over, the ref indicated he was adding 2 min to the extra time and that play took place at the 3 min mark, with no interuption from the 9 minute mark

And by the way both were offside. You can pause the video when the pass is hit and see that both de Ligt and whoever else was there were ahead of Rudiger. De Ligt's head was beyond the line, and his right foot was further than his head. It can be seen clearly from how close they are to the line on the grass. Both were offside. Good decision. Of course he should have let it play on, but even if there was a goal, which is doubtful, it would have been offside.

It's interesting about Kane, and top goalscorers, and the relation to winning trophies, isn't it. In my own lifetime (since 1980), there have only been 12 seasons (I think) when the league's outright top scorer was in the title-winning team: Rush in 1984 Aldridge in 1988 Smith in 1989 Smith in 1991 Shearer in 1995 Henry in 2002 Van Nistelrooy in 2003 Henry in 2004 Ronaldo in 2008 Drogba in 2010 Van Persie in 2013 Haaland in 2023 (Yorke was joint-top in 1999, as was Berbatov in 2011) The evidence seems to suggest that it's far better for your chances of winning the title if your team spreads the goals out and all your eggs aren't in one basket, so to speak. If you're the top striker in the league but your team relies on you too much, they probably won't have that consistency needed to win the title. It's not likely to be a coincidence that Man Utd won it so much and the likes of Giggs and Scholes got more than 100 league goals in their careers from midfield. Kane never really had that at Spurs, though he certainly would have done if he'd been allowed to join Man City.

I'd like Gary to explain why he thinks Leicester in the top four is a "false" position for them. If you don't have ambition what's the point? West Ham fans have had some stick from many pundits about wanting better football and a new manager. David Moyes has done a decent job but many fans don't think that he can move the club on. The view seems to be that he is a great defensive coach but WHU have shipped 70 goals this season - only the three clubs likely to be relegated have conceded more. Leicester winning the title gives hope to the rest of us. Micah's point about top players not wanting to come to the Prem is valid up to a point. BUT if Prem clubs don't buy them the vast over inflated prices will drop. Which for me is a good thing.

Sorry but are all pundits blind or do you have memory problems. Yes Moyes won a cup last season but last season West Ham were circling the plughole for the majority of the season. That cup saved him his job then. This season got off to a fast start but ultimately he doesnt have enough in his locker, he sets up the same way week in week out and in 2024 opponents in the league have been all over West Ham because Moyes is predictable. 70 goals conceeded this year, last time we conceeded that many we were relegated. 3 league wins in 2024, and in six games weve conceeded five or more goals. His transfer policy has been dire, in 4 and half years hes spent 500m on players and yet we have the smallest squad in the league and the second oldest squad in the league. His transfers have been so dire, that when he was offered a new contract in Feb, the deal was Steiden would be fully in charge of recruitment going forward. And Moyes didnt want to sign that. I agree the club handled it appallingly but i dont agree there was any more David could achieve at this club, or any club if he continues to just play his one style of football

The whistle was blown before Muller got the ball to pass to de Ligt, camavinga stopped pressing and lunin didnt even attempt a save. So yeah it was a mistake but it isnt proven that it was 100 goal, just a possible chance

West ham have another potential 120-200 mil coming in this summer if their 3 main players got sold. Kudus, Bowen, paqueta. They need somebody that can buy good good players and manage them and get them better

You mention about Jadon Sancho, but dont forget about Mason Greenwood. Had a great year in Spain, shown he is top class and some big clubs are after him right now. I am sure Fergie would have protected him and not let him leave, like he did with others.

[@footballgossiper]

Boys, great work always. My question is, would Man Utd get any worse if Sancho and Greenwood are guven a second chance? They need proper coaching, just like my boys need under Slot. We will Slot that League title home next season

[@user-kq1kp7wu5j]

i feel like vini wiped the hell out of that ball on a bounce on purpose watching Joselu cut in hoping for the bounce back .... re watched it a few times and look like vini just new

[@algfourty9185]

On Ancelotti not being a tactician... he absolutely is a tactician, perhaps not a strategist in the way that a guardiola is, but the nobody else reacts as well as consistently as Don Carlo.

[@Jefstito]

True, sometimes this pundits dont know shit. The move that Ancelotti did when he noticed Bayern was letting Mendy received alone in the left was the key to the second half. What he did was push Mendy up the field so the guy that was alone was Vini and he destroyed Bayern, its insane this match didnt end 3-0

[@adamboow8299]

A midfield 3 of wharton rice and Bellingham would be unstoppable 100% all 3 of them can swap and change roles and all be effective

Gary - am not sure if you know your calmness! You are so calm … it’s unlike from a striker😅

[@user-md9sp5nc2c]

0:02 i wonder if Gary will mention Gazza this episode 😂

Why madrid are so good? Elite mentality and not thinking top 4 is a trophy

The weight of history

[@misterc5783]

Ancellotti in the greatest manager in history

[@Sauvage_Foxes]

What's incredible is that dortmund apparently will make 20mil for winning the CL, but if they lose they stead to make 25mill from bellinghams contract. Talk about a win win situation for yellow & black army

[@heighleybaily8037]

I heard a rumour that Kane had a back injury. Don't know how true that is, but I can't see him being subbed otherwise

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

True,I heard that as well

[@juanjaramillo4270]

Musiala and Kane were subbed due to injuries. But idk in that stage players should tank it out if possible

[@silverophelian877]

I'm convinced Micah is only a Mbappe fan because he hangs around Henry so much and Mbappe is his natural successor as a player. I dont remember Micah sucking Mbappe so much last season. I understand opinions change but generally English pundits are hilariously/delusionally bias towards England and their players.

[@alberlusconi1]

Bellingham will be playing deeper for Real next season anyway. Southgate needs to be brave.

[@marielinha80]

Technically - did not disallow a goal bc it wasn't a goal since he'd stopped play
