With or without mbappe Madrid always been favorite
Mbappe is the kevin durant of football.
@@bouzaineanis4458plz mbappe ain’t done nothing yet compare to Messi or Ronaldo I need to prove himself
Of the Refs and Var yes
@@bouzaineanis4458he should stay at PSG? What about his WC performances?
@@CG68810 cry louder. You have to be a certified re-ard to suggest that Real Madrid which is UEFA's enemy number one, as they are actively trying to replace it with Super League, has even the slightest influence over refereeing in European matches. Not only that but even if Madrid had done such a thing in the past Uefa would have exposed it long ago. But keep crying as I'll watch my fav club in a UCL final for the 8th time. lol
The question about Real Madrid is the stupidest question ever.
Exactly, the way we all see it Mbappe needs Real Madrid more than they need him
Man City is very well coached because they have Pep, but not sure if they will be the same when Pep leaves. Real Madrid will be on top no matter who is coaching them.
Very astute point.
True..., mbappe going to royals... 👎🏻
You call Madrid a slightly bigger club than City? They are not slightly but far bigger club than City. I don’t understand why media and pundits often like to tailor or control the narrative.
Gab was being sarcastic about it. I think he simply wanted to say that Real Madrid are a bigger club.
by 2030 RM will be winning their 20th champions league title😂
They are already usually top 3 favorites and now with Bayern falling off and Mbappe?
Real Madrid should be the favorites next year along with Man City

Bayern falling off? They were 10min away from going to the final…
@@akimlaberge-touat362they had lost the game even b4 it began!!
What is it with Endrick. He is a kid with raw talent that needs time to develop.
A lot of players have shined quickly at 18. Don’t be surprised if endrick pops off as well. Remember he scored the winner against England at Wembley
True but if you see him play, his mannerisms, the kid looks like he's ready to go right now
@@bbqboss_8712Nah he’s gonna need time.
All the kids from Brazil needed time to adapt.
Neymar
Vini
Rodrygo
Robinho
Casemiro
etc.
They all played way better in their second and third seasons whereas they struggled at times in their first seasons.
It takes time to adapt to a new league and new country even for an experienced player from the same continent.
It’s much harder when you’re young and coming from all the way on the other side of the world
the only thing that i worried about brazilian superstar is their love of party.. if they can control that, they gonna win balon d or.. not being judgemental here just sad that many potential superstar go off the grid because of lifestyle.
@@label967 Endrick is like the last guy to go out partying, so it's fine.
As a player, choosing real Madrid over city is easiest choice ever.
Aren’t they favourites every year without him!?
yes coz they bribe refs
Lookman, no more Lookman jokes 😁
PSG 2023 squad with messi and neymar and mbappe won zilch in Europe 😤🥹It's not about the quality of each player on the team It's about something I don't understand yet.😭
Kendrick gets a mention from Gab!
no long pass from kroos and modric won't be starting so his coming to Real Madrid a bad timing but Real Madrid always finds a way
Their only way is the road to refs
@@eL--RaL why u everywhere crying about refs
Camivinga will solve that
Bellingham would probably fall further back into midfield from next season. Ofcourse Kroos leaving makes that more of the picture that makes sense.
@@eL--RaL this is madrid not brokelona, brokelona now in shambles because no negreira, no fifaboy and uefaboy anymore
Honestly as a Madrid fan I say we don’t need Mbappé

@@MoodKill3000Lol, he might not even be an actual Real Madrid fan 😂
@@eL--RaLthis guys keeps crying everywhere
Lol you can't be serious. Madrid need a player like Mbappe. A natural finisher and a player that will attract a lot of attention from defenders. Can you imagine the freedom and space Vini will have cos 2 defenders are worried about where Kylian is?
When a player like Kylian is available, you get him, no questions. It's the coach job to figure the rest.
Its funny when you try and dissect Madrid's struggle to rebuild next season, you just think: they'll be fine.
They will be only Kroos and Nacho are leaving, they will sign a replacement for nacho, bring in Davies, mbappe endrick then search for a controller like Kroos during the new season
A couple of days ago someone on ESPN extra time asked whether or not Bayer Leverkusen will win the champions league next season. Today in the Europa League final to Atalanta of all teams, their 51 games in a row unbeaten streak finally ended and now there's a question on whether Leverkusen will regress next season. Make it make sense.
You do realize that it's question from viewers right?
4:20 to 4:30 Stevie just described defenders' dilemma in dealing with an in-form forward who is ambidextrous in football.
Thanks for bringing it up seria A is better than premier league i was looking city is a joke it to almost 30year for leverkusen to win well done bayern won 10 straight titles italy last 5 years different teams have lifted as a former player im not professional but com on guys im I write or wrong
Depends on whether RM keeps Mbappe's ego under control, AND whether he's prepared to do what the manager tells him to do. He could be their next Ronaldo... equally, he could be their next Bale.
Getting mbappe is a bonus with or withou mt him Madrid are always favorites to win UCL
Barca calling every team they lose to refs/VAR favs reminds of this dude who farts in class then holds his nose. Legit you paid refs, there is a record of that. Stop blaming life and own up to your problems
Every big team pays refs, there is a record of that. Real Madrid also had a fascist dictator on their side for forty years, that seems to have helped them get established.
Allegations that’s what they are, the fact you’re taking it as fact when there so substantial proof is ridiculous
@@Kevon420 Franco been gone since 1975. You can’t attribute their recent success 50 years later to that.
@@orvilfuentes5444 Paid refs = transferred more than €7 million to companies linked to the former vice president of the refereeing committee, Negreira. Whether these payments were bribery is unknown but there is no explanation Barca gave regarding what these payments were for. I like Barca, I just hate when people keep pointing to the refs and VAR for RM success when substantial evidence suggests the opposite of that
Don’t know how they gonna balance this team.
They are always favorites regardless of who comes and goes
How does Real Madrid manage to get every player
Becuz Barça is struggling financially
because they are football
Because Madrid is the most important football club in the world and where every player dream to play.

@@eL--RaL my mistake. They used a player that used steroids to win championships
While Leverkusen is owned by Bayer, they haven't been pumping the club full of money, and are definitely not a "rich" club like Bayern, City, Real, etc. They could definitely pump some more money into the club if they wanted, but they haven't done that, and instead stand on their own merit. Atalanta has a wage bill of 45M, Leverkusen of 63M. Yes there's a difference, but it's not the wage bill of club that's getting pumped full of money, and their transfer spend is around neutral if you look it up. Let's stop this false narrative before it even starts!
Nobody pumps money into Real Madrid. They are a social club owned by the members and "stand on their own merit".
Real Madrid were favorites before and after Ronaldo, before and After Vini and Jude and will still be favorites before and after Mbappe
As long as they keep their core team with Mbappe added.. and someone steps up in Kroos position.. uhh yea lol
Madrid without Kroos are going to need some adapting. Kroos is more integral than people realise. Kroos was our replacement of Alonso, and there is no other player in the squad with that profile.
Sorloth never scored like this in a big 5 league, but he did score 24 goals in Turkey in 2019.
With mbappe it’s going to be a 10x possibility of winning a champions league cup 😅
I swear this guy can't even list Madrid's squad in 11/12
That's not how it works kid, if penbappe was that good, he would've helped psg to win it after all those years.

Stevie is timeless man.
Ammm let's see. Yes
Weren’t they favourites without him already? Of course they will be
Bro just said Madrid is a slightly bigger club with a slightly bigger history than man city lmao. City was founded before Real Madrid and the total of city’s major trophies is equal to or a bit higher than (not up to 5) Madrid’s La Liga trophies, not to talk of other trophies. These guys are jokers.
Your a fool😢
That odd question was tailored for Mr. Stevie Nicol, So Happy He didn't take the bait.
Mbappe and Real Madrid together feels surreal! So excited 😊
Idk about favourites but every single football fan will have their eyes on RM games/highlights they really are new gen galacticos. 🔥
9:46 what a stupid question lmaooo
respect gab . , bu today was a dissapointing day for him'
Madrid has been favorite since year
Hmmm I wonder if adding a top 5 player in the world to the champions league winners will make them favorites…
They are not Barca, they're now called backa
With him, when they don’t win UCL (highly unlikely), makes the trolling jokes even funnier
I have nothing to say as yet . Ego is the biggest issue here. So let's see who plays where and how comfortable the team will be first...waiting
The guy that said Real Madrid is barely bigger than man city, that man shouldn't be talking about soccer, Real Madrid are the kings of Europe, they are the definition of football heritage, yes city is a good club the past few seasons they have dominated but they are nowhere near the kings of Europe Real Madrid
Yep! The kid can't win Champions League without Madrid! We'll do that for him. Cause you know, that's what Madrid do...
Or Miami FC
"some of those massive owners that we see" - gab
which owners are we talking about hmmm glugluglug
Bro imagine they have an invincible season next year , anythings possible
I am not so sure about Mbappe being successful in Madrid. Real Madrid as a club has always been bigger than any individual player and given Mbappe's big ego and track record, he might find it difficult to settle there.
Yeah, yeah, stacked attack. Tell me about that defense though.
Defense will always be fine with Mendy, Rudiger, Yoro if he signs, and Carvajal. As backups, Militao, Alaba, Cafucas, Rafa Marin, Mario Martin and Davies if he signs. That's strong enough.
already have the best defense in Europe
@@strawhatsgear5th Give me Davies for LB (I heard that will happen next summer) and Hakimi for RB (I heard there is mutual interest but nothing actual).
With or without 🙇🏾♂️
Even when they are not favorites they are favorites
Which Champions league qualified team for next season is most surprising?
Girona
Atalanta
Aston Villa or
Bologna
The best team on paper by far, will just be a matter of keeping egos in check and the other players willing to play for Mbappe
madrid are favorites no matter who plays for them, vini, ronaldo, mbappe, theyll find a way.
Italian coach are always to play against
Add Mbappe may not be gain with losing Toni k
No, adding the best player in the world to the best team in the world doesn’t make them a favorite in the competition which they will probably win this year without the best player…
Yes they’re favorite already.lols
I love ale's comment on sorloh.. just because militao being militao as usual make him look super good relax it's just that one game with a team whi already won the league
To mention Militao is coming back from one of the most difficult injuries to recover from and it was mostly Madrid’s B team.
Is it that ESPN likes a bit of comedy that's why they keep Stevie. Please get over Atleti beating Liverpool. Atleti is a step down 😒
REAL MADRID are Champions league favourites without Mbappe
Kylian Mbappé has the opportunity to win his first Ballon d’Or this year, and the Frenchman has the chance to win several trophies to strengthen his candidacy. I'm more curious on how Carlo Ancelotti would manage all of them next season 24/25. Nevertheless, enjoy the remaining games in La Liga and UEFA Champions League.
It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2027. We are referring to Modric, Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Arrizabalaga, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos" Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez, & Guler.
Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Malo Gusto, Pedro Lima
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Miguel Gutierrez
Centre Back: William Saliba, Leny Yoro, Dean Huijsen
Main Striker: Kylian Mbappe
Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Wan-Bissaka, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, Livramento, Terracciano, Bradley, Sanchez, Lewis, Fresneda and Gray.
Madrid's decision could be costly. The acquisition of Mbappé could alter the balance of the team
Bellingham has the biggest chance to win Ballon d'Or this year with Madrid winning CL and England winning Euro.
@@rishabhmdh7985 Real best player is Vinicius Jr
@@vinijr_best5925 i wouldn’t argue with you (i see your username) lol
Of course they will….
Realmadrid once went 32years without a UcL trophy
As things stand they won't replace Kroos but rather shift back to a 433 instead of a 4312 with Bellingham dropping to midfield alongside Tchouameni and Valverde. Modric seems to be staying on for one more year, as does Nacho surprisingly. I don't expect any signings at rightback regardless of the age of players there currently simply because there are no good players on the market who are feasible transfer targets. Honestly, i expect Madrid to sign maybe 1 more player other than Endrick and Mbappe, either Davies or Gutierrez for leftback or a young, talented centerback like Yoro, that's it. They might look at Wirtz in '25 when Modric and potentially Ceballos leave but don't expect any midfield signings this summer.
they don't play 4312. they play 42 and the rest switches between various setups in game depending on the situation. And Camavinga is better than Tchouameni in midfield.
@@abody499 Camavinga might be better overall (i don't agree but the difference isn't so glaringly obvious in favor of Tchouameni that i'm willing to dispute your opinion because you might be right) but not as a DM. Cama's biggest weaknesses are getting caught out of position, losing the ball in unfavorable positions or sometimes overcommitting in his challenges while some of his biggest strengths are his ball carrying ability and his front foot defending / pressing. All weaknesses and strengths that don't translate well to a CDM role. They're great in a box-to-box role but Valverde is better still in such a role. IMO you have to play a CDM, leaving 1 spot for a b2b which would go to Fede.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm glad you have a well developed view of this situation, because I haven't seen many who have. Interestingly though, much like your view of Cama, I see Tchouameni's flaws as the most critical possible for that position.
I'd be interested in which examples you have of Cama getting caught out of position especially. It's not something I have noticed about him. I agree he can sometimes lose the ball, but from memory, I think that happened mostly while he was playing inside left. But it's also something that was more prominent in the past - he seems to be tidying up those kinds of errors (to be fair, I do think Tchou has improved on his main error too, which I'll get to below). On his challenges though, I totally disagree. I think both are great tacklers, and I have to admit that recently Tchou has made me question my opinion on that front, but I still think Cama edges it on tackling. He has great desire to make the right tackles at the right time. By that I mean being proactive and stopping anything developing, rather than allowing play to get into danger territory - incidentally, this is something I like about Carvajal, especially early on, and think was the difference in losing semis and beginning to win CLs. Anyway, I think Cama is slightly stronger in tackling. His timing is impeccable. His elasticity gets his legs around players perfectly, and he's strong. He does go to ground, but he rarely gets beat when he does.
I wonder if the yellow cards he gets puts you off on this respect? For me, DM was my preferred position (in my very amateur "career"), and I do think there's a lot to it that rarely gets spoken about. But sometimes I honestly get so frustrated with things like the yellow cards Cama has received that I feel like not watching football again. The physical side of the game is something I really enjoy watching, but it's being diluted and there's no consistency in officiating. This is especially bad when it comes to Cama. Some of the cards he's received are just bewildering. At one stage it seemed like he'd come on from the bench, make any tackle at all, and immediately get booked.
Positioning is (part of) everything. What I mean is, firstly the job is to be in the right space - to know where the angle is that cuts off the pass and to be where it's possible to track the runner goal side. This is the crucial element as I see it, and it's where Tchouameni's worst trait comes out, i.e. *ball watching.* There are so many examples to choose from with him, and I noticed it almost immediately when he arrived. Go back to his first games, and while they were all victories - I think RM won the first 7 games or more that season - but there were goals leaked in most of them, if not all. He was responsible for them all, or at least his ball watching made them all possible, when a more decisive player - Casemiro for example - could have stopped them. A couple of more recent notable examples are griezman's goal in the cup match v Atleti, and Gundogan's goal in Barcelona. In the first, on the highlights, the sequence begins just after Vini loses the ball. Pause it there - that's when Tchouameni should have reacted in the first place. He should have been immediately closing down that ball as it moved towards Griezman, but he just watches. He does the same throughout that whole play, watching the entire sequence unfold with zero intention to do anything about it. This is exactly what his job is to do - be aware of danger unfolding, and stop it from happening. There are so many times when he is in a position to do something, i.e. goal side, then ultimately the runner ends up past him and scoring, with Tchouameni watching from behind. It can be seen a lot for France, too. I don't understand why Deschamps, of all people, doesn't seem to catch this. I think Craig Burley on here has been the only pundit I've seen speaking about it (while discussing the Griezman goal). The gundogan goal in Barcelona, apart from his weird pass into no man's land, then highlights his ball watching too, as he began goal side of Gundogan, who then just breezes past him to challenge for the loose ball. He just lets danger unfold in front of him.
But to be more positive about him, I think his attributes are most obvious when he's played CB. I think he has everything to be a legendary CB for Real Madrid, because he seems to operate better when he knows he's the last line of defence, and can see the play coming towards him, rather than being in the middle of it.
Madrid's decision could be costly. The acquisition of Mbappé could alter the balance of the team
d umb questions to hook in views.
Madrid back line is not as balance as the front line.
Has he actually signed for Real?
I thought he was still without a club?
Even pep know's It '

They are K Dot heard Drake was a fan of Barcelona.
Real Madrid have more pull than a black hole.
Slightly bigger history? Slightly 😂, City history is size of underpant comparing to real madrid...

Xabi should have started Victor boniface
Mbape will will contribute to their solidity.
Mbappe will destroy the locker room in Madrid.
Mbappe will feel how little he is when he arrives at Madrid. He will bow to the Emblem.
🙄
From what sources? Madrid is different than PSG.
Real Madrid has a complete good young Team, they dont need diva Mbappe.
So Real Madrid is just slightly bigger than Man City?
I started watching seria A more because of a discussion I had with someone about the prem v seria a. Overall yeah I guess you can make an argument that the prem has the better players but seria a isn’t that far off. I also believe the prem does a better job at marketing their players. In terms of competition it’s not that far off from the prem. I mean inter ran away with it this season, and now ac Milan, juve are great, but in terms of the mid table teams they are really competitive and fun to watch. I’d say the prem isn’t head and shoulders above seria A. Are they better sure but it’s not but much imo, the seria a is very competitive and had great quality. And now, Atalanta won the Europa league, I believe seria a closed the gap a lot the past 3 seasons.
I don’t know how she trying to underestimate Real Madrid that is a problem of English media. They are arrogant last year before two years. Every time there is same, who is going to remember when why Ronnie say Manchester city will destroy Real Madrid please try to change your mind and be honest.
How is she underestimating Madrid? She probably understood the club much better than all of us here, since she worked for Real Madrid TV back then.
I swear if Dortmund manages to win that final somehow we need to force mbappe to join them instead of Madrid 😂
Nice respond from Nike. Perfect way to answer a political football question.
The stupidest question ever! Madrid is always a favorite in the UCL with or without Mbappé.
Gab is definately right in the middle of his menopause these days.
Why is Gabb so excited when the question of sorloth pops up???😅😅😅im curious
Mbappe will not be racist for France
Who hit ale
Steve ,Ale moreno and Gab macorotti shouldn't work together...😂
Giving me heart attack
Mbappe's performances have dipped.
Mbappe is still in Ryerssons pocket. He wont make an impact against teams outside of the french farmers legue
nah, they'll probably lose all of their games in the group stage 4-0. probably get relegated in La Liga too.
With or without mbappe Madrid always fav
Real Madrid has a "slightly" bigger history says Rohit. What a flawed statement by a cuppy pundit. So nonsensical.
I thing bringing u this topic about madrid and mbappe is insulting to madrid because madrid has shown that even without the Galacticos we can still dominate world football, so no we really are favorites fo everything every year, and mbappe needs madrid madrid really doesn't need mbappe
In last 24 years in la liga it was only three clubs, in bundesliga maybe two clubs, in france it was lyon period and now psg, he should went to serie a or premiervleague, this is the problem today because players like mbappe, jude etc. they all took easier route, dream club, to go and play for royal fa$ci$t$ is not challenging enough, and this players think that they are competitive, also Jude talking about racism when playing for fa$ci$t$ 👎🏻
Madrid Front 3 Of Vinicius Mbappe Guler will destroy Europe 🔥🔥🔥
Real madrid will lose more by kroos leaving, then having mbappe
