I'm at 9 13 min and I think I've seen 96 😮
Are you going to make a video on the state of woman's soccer?
Half if these legend were from barca
Your videos are far better than oh my goals I appreciate that you put time and effort in your videos also could you possibly do a video about the down fall of Juan Mata 😉
Hey raymar I really enjoy these high quality documentaries so I would like to say thank you. It will also be an honer to get the official jabullani
Spain was dominant because they were able to perfect what football is all about
Teamwork
Well balanced team in every department that doesnt need messi i guess ... because i think for players like MESSI you always have to serve them first before the team ...
this team played freely ... every player is equally important ....
True. Teamwork is all what it is about. Thats the main Reason why Germany won the world cup in 2014. They didn't have the best players (besides neuer) but their Teamplay just was top notch.
@@Daniyalumer95 This is very true, although I will say they rely or "serve" to Messi more now than they did back then, probably due to the fact that they lost players like Xavi and Iniesta
Ronaldo will never understand that
@@burekmesni4969 true but i mean portugal has won two cups already playing that system

@@harolgarciarok facts, they were so elite.
They didn’t need fast wingers, they’re style of play was fast
Here in the UK, I remember when Spain were constantly labelled as 'underachievers.' And I mean CONSTANTLY. They shut everybody up, and they did it in style. We were privileged to witness such a great team.
Because they never managed to win anything until 2008. It's a young team in terms of history. Never passed WC quarter finals before 2010.
@@Tziumannu87 we won an Eurocup in the 60s and one WC semifinals in the 30s. If I remember well. But we were always losing in quarterfinals after that. Solid teams underachieving...
That is cool to hear
Similar to us in a sense, not won something in fucking years
They were known as underachievers pretty much everywhere else also, including Denmark where I'm from.... Even though Spain were considered the Evil Spirit during our golden generation in Euro 1984, World Cup 86.... and last game World Cup Qualification of 1994 loss - where Bakero ( known as the black sheep by us Danes) deliberately backed into Peter Schmeichel as he was about to claim an easy corner, which gave Nadal (the uncle of tennis player Nadal) a free header into an open goal. No foul given by the blind ref... (We ,Denmark, later became friends with the Barcelona captain Bakero as he acknowledged what he had done in an interview lol)
Luckily we didn't play Spain in Euro 1992 (and the united Yugoslavia had ceased to exist)... Because we won that...
Anyway..... point is, we all knew they were underachievers, especially after they pummeled the then situational world cup favorites after the group play Denmark 5-1 in 1986 Mexico.
All that being said, Denmarks Michael Laudrup was the main inspiration of all the key players from the Spain national team during their 2008 - 2012 success.
"Iniesta is underrated"
"iniesta is regarded as one of the best midfielders of all time"
PA R iknow lol 😂
Iniesta is not underrated at all, everybody knows hes amazing
Iniesta isn't underrated really (maybe he is when compared to other great players as Rakan Elias said)...where he is right is with Villa and Busquets, they are super underrated. Busquets is the best def. midfilder of history alongside Vieira (they are very different but in my team i would take Busquets no doubt).

@@RaymarFootball I rank him up there with Zidane in terms of technical ability. The only thing that separates them is Zidane's leadership and ability to control games. Zidane can carry a team, but Iniesta is more of a team player. That's why his recognition isn't as big as it could be.
Iniesta is underrated?!? Even in a cricket dominated country like us, he's regarded as one of the best mid fielders of all time!
he just says ther underrated because its not the 2 most known soccer players
yeah but compared to Messi or Ronaldo. They might be better/more valuble I guess but so much. Almost any person who dont care about fotball knows who Messi or Ronaldo is but its a high chance they dont know who the great Iniesta is.
That's because you don't have a proper football team.
If you were as good in football as you are in cricket, the Spanish players would be just another AVERAGE OVERRATED side.
@@blaumax918 Yup our football team is really dreadful. We are horrible in both defending and attacking. We have leaked many goals against teams due to miscommunication , miserable defending and set pieces. And our wingers , midfield and strikers are not able to convert chances. Our captain Sunil Chhetri, who keeps constantly scoring for indian team, but, if his performance is not good, then we lose or draw the games. We have succeeded in getting draws against Qatar, China etc and win against Thailand respectively. In the other end, we have lost against team like Bangladesh. Our world cup qualifier has been a horrendous failure. Since, this world cup qualifier event, we habe got many young and versatite players in the concluded isl season, Hopefully, our coach Stimac uses all the players really well, and we start getting some better results. Hopefully in the next 5-10 years, we can get our place in world cup
ISHAAN KAPIL Let's hope for the best...I also wish to play for them🙂
The most amazing thing is that the quality there was within Spain in such a short span of time was so high that many World Class players had to be out of the Spanish Team because the quality was just too high. If that peak of quality was more scattered in time they could've won 3 WC in a row easily.
Not really. If it was scattered they wouldn't even have their WC

The best thing about this team is that they don't have a main man you can mark as everyone can dribble, pass, hold the middle of the park and can score efficiently.

As a Spaniard I really love what you made, dude. I'm so glad and proud of this video and all the positive comments. Thank you all! We played great at this Eurocup with new young players with bright future... we'll come back!
David Villa has one of the most memorable goal celebrations.
As a German fan I have to say, it so totally sucked to watch games against Spain in that era, specially the 2008 and 2010 tournaments. You NEVER had a doubt in every single game, that if Spain played their regular level they were unbeatable. And I am talking about their regular level, not top level. The ball control was insane.
I have seen a lot of "historic" or "unbeatable" teams, like Milan under Sacchi, Ajax 94-96, Barca with Ronaldinho, Real Triple Champs, Brazil in the 90ties, France late 90ties and even Germany sometimes. But this Spanish squad was unique.
The way Germany played against us in all of this tournaments. made that most of spaniards enjoyed a lot when we saw The Mannschaft win the world cup in 2014.
I love those machts when Spain and Germany played, I think that this selection of Germany was great, more offensive and sure could have win more trophies if not had found Spain in their way , Spain was amazing in this time, but for me always were worthy rivals,and when they win their world coap in 2014 I thought that were deserved.🇪🇦🤝🇩🇪
I'm a real madrid fan but I can say that Real Madrid Triple Champs only played well in Champions League, at least in the las two.
@@albertomoldes6143 one year won both thropys but it's a historical thing ,it's very difficult play well in la liga and in champions ,because you have very difficult team with more level ,if you go Germany have two team with only have level for win tournament and the rest of the team dont have enough level,in Spain the teams go outside to bite you ,some teams maybe couldn't win nothing ,but when are playing real Madrid or Barça can be win or draw, the only similar league in my opinion is the premier ,and this year liverpool won champions league and he's tried win premier too, how player's reached the final? Too many played injured and have very lucky that the ajax was eliminated,the champions is always very difficult win ,and if you focused in the tournament Don't ensure that you can win,maybe easy is you focused in the league and you will see how the team its develops in the tournament especially if your team play in a strong and competitive league.
Why did it suck for you? I loved watching good football. The content is more interesting than the result.
Xavi and Iniesta make me wanna cry, those guys passed the ball like football maniacs
Bro sameee. The elegance brings a tear of joy. Seriously
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was nice to see them play. We begin to realize what an incredible generation that was, difficult to repeat something like this. The discreet results do not reveal the enormous superiority that Spain had. It had a bench that many national teams would have wanted as a starter. It will go down in history as one of the best if not the best national teams ever.
😂😂
As a Spaniard myself, i got chills watching this video because i remeber, personally watching every game in each clip of this WHOLE video. Not to mention remembering the epic run we had thru the world cup and euros! It was an enchanting time with this team and i feel, the BEST of all time! Thanks for the Vid
Problem with the meta is Xavi and Iniesta can play in the same team. That should be nerfed.
xavi should be a perma ban, who tf let him go trough
that was definitely meta..like mercy mass rez
Alp Yilmaz u speaking like it’s a video game lmao 😂 but true
They had Xabi Xavi Iniesta Busquets how tf are u supposed to beat this comp
Due to player's reactions, they were banned. Thus nerfing Spanish team
“Einstein would’ve been confused, but not Iniesta.”
~Ray Hudson
I watched Spain play during that era. They had a great goalie, defense and attack but here what made them unbeatable. They had the best starting midfield in the world and the second best midfield in world football on their bench. Unreal!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You forgot to mention Marcos Senna he was such an important piece to the 2008 Spanish team
True story bro! Defensive midfieldier was the most important position in formation and style of play
Such a great player
Senna in fact was my favorite
Why does the music make me feel like the team died in a plane crash
lmfaoo
LMAO damn right

Yo what’s the music called?
Fun fact: Spain is the first and only team that has won the World Cup after losing the first match of the tourney
And the champion with less goals on all the WC history
leaving New Zealand as the only undefeated team that tournament lmao
That was a completely unreal accident. Spain dominated that match from start to end. Had lots of chances on goal. Switzerland's goal was the result of an incredible sequence of bad luck bounces. The ball simply didn't want to go in for Spain, result was a lost match that had it been repeated 99 times, Spain, all been equal, would've won 99. But luck is still a part of the sport :).
@@ramjb absolutely agree, mate

Defintely cause in Barcelona Messi was too good in scoring goals, so that’s why David Villa was underated
@@bacsi4776 yeah messi still too good in barcelona, and there is high chance for griezman turning into messi's bitch
Best years of Villa were at Valencia CF so far. He joined Barça once he had won everything with the Spanish team, then his role was more secondary.
The way they move the ball, the speed, the beauty of all, doing as they had telepathic powers was a joy to watch. Even if didn’t know anything about football you jnew they were playing something very special. And in sports it's always a pleasure to see the best team winning
it gives me goosebumps...thinking about all those world class midfielders, who just made it to the bench, because of the quality of Xavi and Iniesta, who were even better. So much quality in one team. You can only imagine, how good the clubs Barca and Real Madrid were in their prime, with either Messi or Ronaldo on top of that!
I'm thankful, that I have witnessed that golden Era. We got two football gods at the same time, and a national team, that dominated the world even without them...
As a center defender, I can say that Puyol is one of the most inspirational players and role models to me personally. He played with unquestionable heart, leadership, and integrity...
and sick hair
never seen such a honest player at this level and one of the few one man club
the rocky of soccer !
Thank you, was looking for this comment. Xavi and Iniesta were the brains and soul of the team. Puyol was the heart.
I see more people praising Iniesta than Xavi. Xavi is the underrated one.
@Ivan Quintero Indeed.
Xavi was always consistently brilliant. In the 2000's, only play makers and box-box midfielders were given media attention. Gerrard, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kaka, Lampard immediately spring to mind. It was only after Luis Aragones changed Spain's playing style and Pep was appointed as Barca's head coach, deep lying play makers or the Regista were recognized as media worthy. The likes of Xavi, Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Scholes had very few bad games in their prime and were insanely consistent. You can see this in the Ballond'or and FIFA POTY votings down the years as they are largely influenced by journalists. The early 2000's were dominated by Gerrard, Lampard, Zidane, Ronaldinho and from 2007-08 deep lying play makers started appearing on the listings more frequently and by the end of the decade people recognized the true importance of technical ability as opposed to sheer physical presence. I wish Scholes had this kind of luxury when he was shunted onto the wing to accommodate Gerrard, Lampard and Beckham into the English national team.

There is legit no way that the French team will reach that level but it would be interesting
NIBIR DAS cuz their play style is very different
@@PabloMartinez-zw9ed yes they play a different game but the level of dominance can be achieved of they perfect it!
I think they need to perfect the teamwork. Seeing the world cup it felt more like France was 11 individuals instead of one team.
@@lordzutroy8465 Croatia was a much better team overall. Just each player overworked themselves so they were all burnt out at the end.
Amazing video Raymar. I really began to understand much more why Spain was winning so much a decade ago.
the cut in that video a so weird
If Messi accepted to play with this Spanish team, then literally this team would be a cheating
That's not what literally means.
@@Jordan-hf4ch then you've never seen Messi play.
@@Elimbi1 I've seen Messi play, but I've also been to school.
Testudo LMFAO you did him dirty
@@Jordan-hf4ch damn, you got him!! 🔥
You should have talked about the manager that came before Del Bosque.
That manager MADE that team play the way they did
Yeah, Luis Aragones adopting the Tiki Taka for the La Roja was what changes the football complexion forever.
@@blues05 Luis didn't adopted tiqui taca, he invented it!
@@SampyKhe Nah he didn't create but he adopted though
Nope that was not Del Bosque sorry. Aragonés was the one that made the "tiki taka" then Barcelona adopted it and only then Del Bosque took charge of the national team and continued with this style of play
@@dsanchomariaca Lol The heavily Cruyff influenced Barça already played tiki taka during the 90's. When Van Gaal was their manager they played the tone down version of tiki taka. Rijkaard Barça's played the same. Then Pep took it to the next level. Sacchi Milan's played tiki taka to some degree and even Arsene Wenger Arsenal of 06'-10' played tiki taka too. Luis Aragones adopted the tiki taka because of the La Masia product players at his disposal which he started to implement for the La Roja after their disastrous 2006 World Cup campaing. If it's anything, he didn't create but adopted from Barça.
I remember those years,and,even more,I will always do.And I'll be proud to say:Yes,I was there,I watched them play.And it was mesmerazing.Actually,if you look at the bench not being spanish,you wonder why none of those footballers was of yours.The best generation ever.
David Villa's role in winning the world cup gonna be appreciated forever!
Spain has fallen because they got all their greats at one time and they all retired / got old at the same time.
Now they have to wait for another generation.
Lol
David Tieku
Same for italy
Same for South Africa. We were 16th in the world and 1st in Africa when I was growing up, could beat Brazil and other top teams. Our captain was also Leeds captain, our top scorer was also the star striker for a Champions League winning team. Then all the legends got old at the same time and we've been a complete joke the last 15 years. I haven't seen any of our matches after we hosted the world cup
@@hello-friend990 Italy and Spain dominated international football. South Africa did not
And leeds is shit. So that comparison is dumb.
Leeds lol
Busquets is now the only one from the Barca trio left😭
Great vid on the legendary Spain National Team
And, with Messi and Piqué, the last one of that historic team
That golden time will never be replicated again. What a fucking scary team Barca was.
Im English. I've watched every tourney since Mexico 86. Anything before I that I watched on a rerun the 1966 England vs Germany final and then Brazil vs England game in the 1970 Word Cup.
I missed a lot of great teams before 1986 of course, but since 1986 I have no doubt the Spain team were the best of all time, such a joy to watch. And at the same time the Barcelona team playing the same style was one of the GOAT European teams especially when they had Messi up front. Majestic!
Iker casillas deserves a 20 min episode to describe his legendary career ! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Bro , he should easilly be considered the goat , has the most records for a gk and the most trophys
@@robertoasura5013 yeah ur right
him and buffon
@@1eversince right mate
AZRY hamma it’s just upsetting gigi still hasn’t brought home a champions league, maybe this last year will prove different!
I must say that here in Spain Iniesta isn't underrated, he's considered a GOD.
By the way, in my opinion Busquets is the most underrated player of all time.
The defensive mid of all time....
R u a Spanish
@@kelvinaddae5447 of course, why would I say that if not
SamuLTC so Busquets is underrated in Spain?
@@SamuLTC depends where u live like here in madrid iniesta isnt considered a god
Being a Spaniard(live here now) born and raised in England I am very proud to have seen my 1st country Spain achieve so much and can say I saw them win a World cup during my lifetime, now what I'm urging is for my 2nd country England to also win a World cup and then my dream will be fulfilled and completed.
keep it up, nice video
This video hurts in two ways
1. That 2010 World Cup Final was heartbreaking as a Dutch kid
2. This era was amazing, especially the midfield. As a Barça fan I miss players like Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa and Pedro
Man, Pedro is such an undervalued player. It gave us lots of fight in the attack.
😭
Yeah, but the WC final was played poorly on both sides. To those of us who didn't have a dog in the race it was painfull to watch regardless of the winner...
@@alexisbudzisz well that was mainly because of the Netherlands
It was also heartbreaking for Xabi Alonso
Quite simple
Best goalkeeper in the world
Best centre back in the world
Everysingle midfielder was world class with xavi, iniesta and busquets being the best in the world
All forwards were world class, with torres being the best striker in the world in the late 2000s. Pedro and david villa were also world class
Well said.
David Silva most underrated player of all Spanish history
Alonso
@@mello1179 David Silva is unfortunate. He came through during the Time of prime Iniesta
David villa was better than Torres. Show some respect
Is it just me or does this video have some weird cuts with no sense at all?
nope we all have it (recent viewers)
why the f is that? UA-cam cuts it?
@@abcdeika He just cut out the copyrighted parts
puyol, pique, alba and ramos in defence, xavi , busquets, and iniesta in midfield, david villa, pedro along with xabi alonso, fabregas on the bench, im surprised how teams didn't give up before the match
