I hope we get the job done and wrap up laliga. Visca el Barca 💙 ♥️
These guys are at the Montjuic😂😂
As a Madrid fan, Lamine Yamal is a generational talent. Best 17 year old after Pele, which l agreed with Ian Darke, but to be the best player in the world needs to be backed by trophies.
Kylian score 4 four goals in arguably the greatest football tournament in the world, and he is now Madrid's problem. Madrid structures didn't help them season from the Board, Management and Carlo never trusting the young ones. Carlo is still my greatest club coach ever because he won 5 ucls as a manager but we still need a change.
There are two persons that must stand out…one is coach of madrid must stand out of stadium and belinghm must stand out of pitch…
It’s a reason why Madrid was leading the league by 10 points they really gas lighting Barcelona without our defense being injured it would be a totally different conversation but hope yall keep the same energy
Y us dat everytime espn wants to see barca lose , bt we shall see
Again with the comparison, any young players who can run towards the defense, they start comparing to messi, yamal is amazing BUT just dont compare him with messi, stop it , those time players did not get opportunites to play since 16-17 age, and messi was the same he has always been even at 17.
are we certain some of Barcelona stars from this season won't be sold for financial need at the end?
Lamin yamal the best🎉🎉🎉
Craig seems less grouchy, could it be the outdoors 😂
At 17 Years Old Ronaldo R9 scored 44 Goals in 47 Games +15 assist including goals 5 in a 6-0 win as a professional. Lamine Yamal is amazing for his age …but he's not "that" level of amazing. Plus he's predominantly left sided to the point where if you defend properly against that threat you can shut him down. There was no defensive solution to stop R9. He was lethal with left foot, right foot, was faster and explosive even at that age. The only thing you can say is that he played and scored in the European Final winning it (although Ronaldo did win a World Cup around that age although he didn't play in it) and that the Spanish League is a bigger league than the Brazilian League which Ronnie was playing in, but then you have to factor in the level of defending then vs now in Spain, which I don't think is as rough as Ronnie would have faced. You'd then also have to look at Pele's record at that age playing in Brazil as well. Yamal is probably the best now but in my opinion despite his number of games and trophies won his abilities are not at the same levels as Messi or R9 at that age. He's very good though. Brilliant.
I don't like Yamal, he talks too much.
Messi didn't say anything until he was 34 )))
The classici in the middle east, Kylian was the mvp of Real Madrid. Ofcourse they need to figure out how to max his presence with the team, he's just been there less than a season.
Mbappe has 30+ goals!!! How is that not fitting? Just stop player hating Mbappe…
Even if mbampe gets retired now he is far bett
Yamal is good but he is a liability too, Inter has proved this fact.
Why are not mentally or physically tired " WE ARE MAD, WE ARE PISSED AND UPSET" THEY WILL SURELY FEEL OUR WRATH !!!!
Xavi Alonso is a different coach with different tactics and ideas. If he comes, I’m sure he’ll better utilize Mbappe and probably Guler.
Ancelotti seems good with star players but I think when you’re someone like Xavi Alonso, you can easily get respect from the dressing room. Plus he’s just a better tactician imo.
Title analysis:
"Real Madrid's problems are caused by multiple of factors such as injuries, squad imbalance and trying different formations to properly balance the team." = 2 views per second
"Kylian Mbappe is the problem" = 10 views per second.
I noticed that TBH.
Yamal, please, talk less. Last year, it was Vini, and everybody was talking about him as the best, but fast-forward to today………….. Same as Jude, it was a lovely boy last season, but fast-forward to today.
It’s simple. It’s the same problem PSG had with MNM
Saying that Real Madrid back 4 "have been solid because which is why they are still in La Liga" is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The reason RM has struggled is that the back 4 is decimated and leaking goals… and the midfield has had to compensate to help the back 4. You have Lucas Vasquez and Fran as fullbacks lol. Hence, the attack is left to figure it out on its own with little support. This is by far the worst analysis I have seen and I've seen some horrible ones.
Please dont ever say never mcmanan. I want RM to win this. 🤍⚽️💯
Media always disrespecting Mbappe. 😢 poor guy
Said the same about Fati 😂😂😂 Barca TV
AI REF SYSTEM SHOULD BE DEPLOYED IN UCL MATCHES….
Same trick with France media….when you title: "Kylian", you get more views. I do not imagine living off of another name and fame
Funny how vini is coming off a season where he was favorite to win Ballon d or for a bit and came in 2nd and he has not played no where near the same
Barca dont need a positive result. They can loose and win all other games and still win La Liga.
Remember guys in Mbappes “worst year performance” he broke Ronaldo’s record of scoring over 30 goals in a season. Thank you psg for giving us a generational talent 🙏

cry more vamos madrid
🤣🤣🤣so mbappe unfit you want him to be like who
Mbappe thinks he’s cr7 I don’t like his attitude towards his teammates he doesn’t celebrate with them, isn’t happy if they score and he doesn’t, doesnt run for the team. Nothing.
we see psg at the ucl final rigth exactly mbappe leave. 🤔
May the fourth be with you Barcelona, I look forward to an exciting game against Real Madrid tomorrow ❤
Barca should sign Sorloth for next year. He surely can count.
did a group of interns record this broadcast? why is the background overexposed like that😭😭😭
I've never seen a group of men cry so much for a team to fail, Barcelona got knocked out the champions league, they're still crying. Come on now, get a life for f**k sake😏
Madrid gonna win tomorrow
There's no vengeance here, go play inter again 😂😂😂. Leave Us alone.. Go against your new opps, leave my injury cursed madrid. We have no expectations, bring on Xabi ball.
No
By the time yamal brings champions league to barca madrid will have 30
Who is telling the camera men to switch all these angles 😂 terrible job!
Luis with the ChatGPT 😂
Yamal is the best player I’ve seen since Messi because he does everything well except finishing once he starts scoring more it’s like Messi and Neymar having a baby
