I'm no Madridista by any stretch, but Guti was one of my favourite players growing up. I wish he'd gotten the gametime and recognition that his talents deserved
@@fernandocalles1726 he was inconsistent because he didn't play enough lol, for example Zidane was inconsistent too but he played even after 3 bad games in a row and Beckham starting instead of Guti was a sacrilege.
The beggining is wrong, Guti was never a Barcelona fan. That picture at 0:34 is from a small amateur tournament with friends, where a Barcelona supporters association offered them to play that tourney under their name, but he was already a Real Madrid fan. He just wanted to play a few games for fun there
As a blau-grana fan of almost 25 years, I have to say Guti is a legend for me: for his class on the field, his “arrogance” in play and his commitment to RM. respect
Great documentary. I only began watching Real Madrid towards the last few years of Guti’s career. I thought he was amazing but I noticed some Real fans weren’t as impressed as I was. I didn’t know that he didn’t get to actually play in the UCL finals, which is a cruel injustice and heartbreak I maintain Guti is one of the most gifted players ever, and many of his assists are otherworldly. I think with the passage of time more people will realize what an exceptional talent Guti was.
Only 20k subs. You produce masterpiece with every video. This channel should have atleast 1M subs judged by the quality. Hope you will never give up because your videos can only be described as ART! Greetings from Serbia ❤️
As a small guy myself, passing and distribution was how I kept my place in school and then club teams. I had two ultimate heroes and teachers - Scholes and Guti. This guy's vision was beyond a joke.
@David-ws6do your comment was exactly what I was thinking. Saying shit like “As a small guy myself” without indicating the other person is small.. that’s basically abusing the “As a..” line. That’s rape
@@paulsloan8915no one can possibly have a favourite Celtic player 🥹 or a favourite Rangers player for that matter 😆 You're talking about fanatism, we are talking about enjoying the game
That fakeheel to Benzema was equally good. Just stopped all players thinking he was moving the play in another direction! This man was capable of world class quality!
He’s still a legend, idgf , I don’t remember him much but I just remember he’s a goat and part of one of the best players during one of the most competitive time of football
He was a fantastically gifted footballer&with many teams,he would have been the 'Point man' but with the glamour &,brand name of 'Lod Blanco's: comes mucho Politico!.So he was extremely limited,(not waisted) and restricted from showing how good he was!
@@brianmande5229 people stick the word "underrated" on half of the players on the planet. Most of them are rated correctly far as I can tell. As is Guti. He gets more than enough praise. But I guess you did a lot of research and interviewed thousand of what they think of Guti or Zanetti. Just sit down, and stop making stupid noises.
Guti was just a marvel to watch he was just overshadowed by foreign nationals with better media attention from world sport journos. Same happened with Raul.
Guti is probably the most magical player that Spain never had, i mean his master pass assist are unique, like Zidanes rulette or Romario scoring, his assist where unique to him. It is a shame the lack of continuity so he could maybe do the same in the Spanish Squad, but talent as Guti, is like wild fire, you cannot cage it, or tame it, it runs wild for good and bad. Imagine a guy who could shine in the field, with the likes of Ronaldo, Cristiano, Benzema, Kaka, Zidane, Figo, this is no easy feat, and he did it . Football wise he is one of those so called Magicians, Footballers so rare you can only see them once or twice every 40 years. Is not about goals scored or number of assists, it is about the quality of them, he is just a Magician.
Another fantastic documentary about an unappreciated a dn underrated player at a time where many Legends stepped on the field. Thank you for another amazing work. As a suggestion for a future video, I would like a full story/documentary of Michael Ballack, one of my favorite players of all time and a Boss of the midfield.
Good to see another video & seems to be ages since the last one,I love these & would really love to see you do a stoichkov or hagi video,loved them from USA 94😬
I always thought that if I make a channel about my taste on football and reviews, it would be almost exactly like yours. Don't know if it's only one person or several on charge of it, but even the voiceover is great.
Un verdadero Genio! Fantástico Futbolista, una visión milimetrica para ubicar el balón donde al delantero le acomodaba. Rompía las defensas de los rivales con una facilidad asombrosa. Extraordinario !!!! Inolvidable!!!! Incomparable!!!!
He was very underrated i actually thought he was from Venezuela or some South American country since he didn't play a lot for the Spanish national team
Guti for me is the best Real Madrid player i've seen, top 3 easily with Ronaldo (Brazilian) and Michael Laudrup. Such a creative player, you put a prolific finisher up front and Guti will feed him goal after goal. Forget Zidane, i'd rather Guti in my centre midfield alongside a ball winner like N'golo Kante and i'm a happy manager! Everybody has their opinion and every manager has their own style, well that's mine
M Laudrup is the real deal. Forget Zidane, Iniesta, Pirlo, Guti etc. M Laudrup up top with Ronaldo phenomenal R9. No defense will stop the goals, even two goalkeepers and a bus packed in front of goal post will not deter such an attack.
@@lifetree3823 don't sleep on Pirlo, his passing was incredible, he could find players anywhere with long range pinpoint passing! Guti was similar to Laudrup with his incredible quick thinking and vision. Zidane was vastly overated thou, sure he had a nice touch and could get round players, but you need that killer ball more importantly that Guti could deliver so well
His era was one of the most competitive eras in football, the average player was way better technically than nowadays, even when the game was already physical it was at the same time technically superior. Guti would have no price nowadays. Le Tissier, R.Baggio, Guti, I miss this kind of players.
Turkey is not in the Middle East per say, while Istanbul in fact IS IN EUROPE. I am not Turkish but am in awe of just how much wererners just don’t care about anything east of Germany, quite sad really…
I asked for a Guti vidoe a long time cos he's one of my favourites passers of the ball. 1. Beckham 2. Pirlo 3. Guti 4. Schloes 5. Xavi 6. Iniesta 7. Messi 8. Ronaldinho 9. Ozil 10. Silva 11. Lampard 12. Gerrard 13. Riqueleme 14. Hazard 15. KDB Now, these aren't my rankings. It's just how I remember them. However, one thing for sure. KDB is at the bottom of this list for me. He's a great passer but all these guys have been way better. There's no competition for him like there isn't for CR7, Messi. These days we can name a handful of players but back in the day every team was strong. You couldn't name a handful, you'd rather talk about the team.
Ronaldinho Cruyff Laudrup Platini Guti Valdivia Zidane Iniesta Juninho Pirlo Gerrard Riquelme Xavi Schuster Salah Beckham Redondo Alonso Rui Costa De la Peña Valerón Modric Özil Fábregas Pedro León To name a few in a somewhat approximate order. Also, CR is a great athlete, just not a great footballer. He was outstanding in MU but then his switch in position and terrible ego made him an awful player with many goals scored.
Elegant player with great vision and unforgettable passes. I was at the Bernabeu when he flicked that back heel to Zizou for his only ever hat trick against Sevilla. He definitely was not better than Modric. He didn’t have the lungs Modric has. He couldn’t do it consistently for 90 minutes. He also had a tendency to miss some wide open shots. Just trying to give a fair analysis.
Your videos are incredible. If you ever make a patreon or "join button" for the channel it will be the first one I ever sign up for. Your work is amazing.
Lesson to be learnt… Good to be versatile but even more important must be great or unplayable in a specific role. Otherwise you will find yourself on the bench.
This guys passes are legendary. Too bad that he plays for Real during Galacticos era and the more famous guys needs to play to earn more money for the club. Really shame.
I'm no Madridista by any stretch, but Guti was one of my favourite players growing up. I wish he'd gotten the gametime and recognition that his talents deserved
Thing is that he was very talented but also very inconsistent

Thanks, working on the next video as we speak.
@@theretroroute delighted to hear 👍
Well said, Couldn't agree more 👍
Incredible channel ❤
Guti was a maverick with zidane's poise and xavi's passing 🔥
Guti outlived 2 galacticos eras. Legend!
Almost brought me to tears. Guti was a symbol of my youth and I am always grateful to his performances which defined grace of football in my life.
Absolutely love this episode! It does justice to Guti's legacy as a player.
I’m madridista because of him
He’s the most talented and beautiful player I’ve ever seen
This channel is an absolute gem. Great vid again
Guti, The most underrated star in the world!
Jose Maria Guti is the victim of Los Galacticos..
not a victim. he is real madrid personified. he and raul define what real madrid needs to be to win.
Victim of the great gangster of this country, Florentino, the Mob made flesh.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate these videos and the research put in - it’s a very high quality and very underrated also

My favourite player.. you deserve so much more subscribers... more content like this and you'll have a million soon enough
Thank you for giving this underrated player his flowers. Guti was always the midfielder I tried to emulate when I played. Crazy passing. 👏🏼
"Probably one of my favorite Real Madrid players along with Zidane and Casillas" - A Barça fan
Shows you don’t have a proper rivalry. I am a rangers fan and have no favourite Celtic players.
Supongo que habrás visto vídeos de Iván de la Peña y si no has visto, era lo más parecido a Guti, dos fenómenos.

@@JuanEspana344 otro, lo pelat, eran de clase superior
I always believe he is the best Spanish passer ever..
Somehow I always remember Guti as one of the greatest RM players.
That assist to Zidane is the greatest pass I've ever seen.
That fakeheel to Benzema was equally good. Just stopped all players thinking he was moving the play in another direction! This man was capable of world class quality!
His temper and his adaptability were great strengths imo, reasons he outlasted so many at Madrid.
I loved this video. Narrated very well, the background music is perfect.
Almost emotional.
Great job.
Great video! Guti will always be the best CM 4 me
Özil is just the reincarnation of Guti, composure, technique and passing just like Guti
I'm from Madrid and madridista, both were great, but Guti was way better.
He’s still a legend, idgf , I don’t remember him much but I just remember he’s a goat and part of one of the best players during one of the most competitive time of football
Guti fue un auténtico crack, un artista del balón, inteligencia pura.
This guy Guti produced some of the craziest assists....
Guti, i miss his charimatic moves with thé ball & his raised fist after scoring💪
Love this channel, so iconic and yet so underrated
From Italy, my greetings, one of the best football channels no doubt. Keep going on! Your works are absolute gems!

Great video great player. Great club Great everything.
Killing it mate
He's more creative and among my first five creative midfielder of all time
He was a legend. He embraced the magic of late 90's, early 2000's. Raw talent, self confidence and pure magic.
Magic player
If Gutti singed to Barca, he would be best playmaker of all time, too bad he wasted his full potential at Real. Criminally underated.
Sad to say you're completely right
You never seen M Laudrup, or J Cruyff!! You think Guti stands a chance to be named GOAT playmaker ahead of those two monsters?!?
If nobody told you fam, I recognized that rendition of "Zombie" in the video. Absolutely class 👌🏿
Excelente reportaje
Guti was the most consistent Galactico and football mastermind and masterclass❤
Please continue your work always love your videos
Thanks for the vid!!!

Why did this make me cry and am a Barca fan
Your channel is amazing! Love your videos. Can you make one about Okocha? Or Marcelo Gallardo? Great players but quickly forgotten in my opinion.
Yes I agree, I think there's a great Okocha documentary floating around youtube.

C’était pas le meilleur joueur au monde mais dans la passe qui casse des lignes dans les derniers 30m il avait vraiment quelque chose en plus
