## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome back to the Boxer Box podcast.
[0:02] This is episode 49, and today we have Power Rankings.
[0:05] But first, we will do our Champions League review.
[0:08] The quarterfinals are set. And Alvarez's pen, should it
[0:11] have counted? All that and more on the Boxer
[0:13] Box Podcast. Let's go.
[0:15] You ain't go home. Your Honor, I'm.
[0:18] Sorry. Your.
[0:19] Honor I'm. Sorry.
[0:43] Welcome back, everyone. It is Saint Patrick's Day as of
[0:46] recording, but none of us are wearing green.
[0:48] Yeah. Oh, it's true.
[0:50] Very nice I was. Thinking about the Celtic Kid, I
[0:52] was thinking, oh, that would have been.
[0:54] Perfect. Good addition, good timing.
[0:55] But Millie, this time last year you were actually in.
[0:58] I was actually. In Ireland.
[1:00] Yeah, first Saint Patty's. That's where you got the Celtic
[1:01] it. That's where I got exactly where
[1:03] I got the Celtic it fully that I think the the the idea of Saint
[1:08] Patty's day around the world is seen different than what it is
[1:11] in Ireland. I feel like in Ireland it's.
[1:12] More like an Independence Day. Yeah, and this one's more like
[1:16] just an excuse to party and in any other way in, in any other
[1:19] place in the world. We have a lot of Irish people in
[1:21] Montreal. Oh, huge tradition.
[1:23] So downtown is jamming with like people and it's like a certain
[1:27] like, it's like certain type of people, like the, the people,
[1:30] you look at them and you're like, they celebrate Saint
[1:32] Patrick. 'S you know, you know.
[1:33] Yeah, that they celebrate like everyone's wearing pins, like
[1:35] Guinness pins and drinking beer and all that.
[1:37] It's, it's it's cool to see in the and especially here, the
[1:39] weather is like finally winter is finally broke.
[1:42] People are people are finally going out again.
[1:43] There's no more 10 feet of snow outside.
[1:45] Yeah, it was nice. And then also like like a little
[1:47] Montreal niches like McGill does, like the the what's ginger
[1:51] run, the Ginger run. Yeah, Ginger run where?
[1:53] The university. Yeah, well, yeah, McGill
[1:55] University. And then it's like they get all
[1:56] the redheads from McGill University and they run down the
[2:00] monster hill. Yeah, Then they just go down the
[2:02] main path. Yeah, like I actually got, I got
[2:04] invited to go and I'm like, I'm not going to watch a bunch of
[2:06] redhead people run down a hill and uphill.
[2:09] Yeah. That's all they did.
[2:10] In context it doesn't sound. Every year.
[2:12] Every year they do it, no. There's a crowd like crowd of
[2:14] like hundreds of McGill students watching.
[2:17] People run down a. Bunch of people run down and
[2:18] then up the hill. Yeah, it's like they parade the
[2:20] redheads. Yeah, in the in the, the
[2:22] students, the student body. But yeah, yeah, Saint Patty.
[2:25] But didn't, didn't shy away from the games.
[2:27] That happened this week, too. One second, one second.
[2:30] We had Millie. This is what's the first week in
[2:33] a Formula One. I was, I was, I was chatting
[2:36] with some of the people in the Discord too, during the qualies.
[2:38] Really. Yeah, but you were.
[2:39] Chatting late because for us Eastern Time that the the
[2:42] qualifying was at 12 no one. 12:12-ish or 1:00 and.
[2:46] The race was at 12:00 Eastern Time.
[2:48] As soon as as soon as quality, quality finished, I texted the
[2:50] disc. I'm like, listen guys, it was
[2:52] great to talk to you guys. I'm going straight.
[2:53] Yeah, I'm going to bed. Yeah, yeah, no, but F1F1
[2:56] definitely was a movie. Yeah, I mean, we were a little
[2:58] bit tired watching, but. I called when I could.
[3:00] McLaren's McLaren just looking at as if the Mclarens are the
[3:04] the front runners this season. Yeah, and too much aura.
[3:07] Aura farming from Ferrari so. Varvar Oracle.
[3:09] OK, I'm just gonna hand myself the Oracle, I said.
[3:12] Lewis Hamilton's kind of wash now, and no at one point.
[3:15] It's one race, yeah. If even firms gets it.
[3:18] Oracle Oracle shit right there. He.
[3:20] Finished 9th or what did he finish?
[3:22] 8th? 9th What did he finish?
[3:23] But if you're gonna claim if you're gonna claim this, you had
[3:25] to leave looked up where Hamilton stats you had to no,
[3:29] you had to do this prior because to prove your point, because now
[3:31] it's just. You lost the Oracle.
[3:33] What's Hamilton going to Ferrari, and in football terms?
[3:36] Ronaldo to Man United back like the second time, No Ronaldo to
[3:40] U. Yeah, but but Ronaldo going to
[3:42] Manchester United, you didn't think you were winning the
[3:43] Champions League. That's that's.
[3:45] Yes, I did. What the fuck?
[3:47] You thought you were going to win the Champions League.
[3:49] Bro, we were the second time we we had just finished second
[3:52] place. We had.
[3:54] We had. 2nd but first. Second, OK, but then you bring
[3:58] in Ronaldo. After after you told me that
[4:03] Juventus having Ronaldo changed nothing for two years.
[4:05] You know, you know how it feels to bring these guys, don't know
[4:08] how it feels to bring in Ronaldo.
[4:09] In I know how it feels to bring into Ronaldo.
[4:11] It brings you so much blind optimism.
[4:14] Until he, until you. Don't you?
[4:16] You see? You see?
[4:18] You can't helpers. I knew Ronaldo was finished and
[4:20] I still torqued for that muffler.
[4:22] No Ronaldo was coming off Champions League with Real
[4:24] Madrid going to UV that I could believe.
[4:26] Yes, but UVA fans saying yeah, we're making a push for
[4:28] champions. 5050 goals for Juventus that season.
[4:31] Before you join my bro, you hire you.
[4:33] You bought the version just for sales.
[4:35] You just you. You We bought a player.
[4:36] You bought a mannequin. Yeah, Jersey sales.
[4:39] And then who did you put behind them?
[4:40] 10 Hag? No.
[4:42] Was it 10 Hag? No, it was Ole.
[4:44] Then after it was then Haag because that's the following
[4:46] letter bro. But then I said I got him out of
[4:48] my clothes. Yeah, Stage 6 old.
[4:50] Crazy work bro, at least we cut ties early.
[4:53] You're still on? No literally stage six are Teta
[4:56] right now. Already rage baited bro.
[4:58] He got all goes from a Lewis Hamilton conversation stage 6.
[5:03] Vava said let me rage bait them with the Lewis Hamilton and then
[5:06] he revert. We got reverse rage baited.
[5:08] Bro, that's that's talent. We're learning, we're involving
[5:10] the rage, so. Good at this?
[5:12] But. The answer is like, what's the
[5:15] the? You don't really have one.
[5:16] It's. Ronaldo's Manual.
[5:18] If Mercedes is Real Madrid for for Hamilton's career, then it
[5:22] would be Juventus. This is the one right after.
[5:25] Because Hamilton is not the Hamilton that he was when
[5:29] Ronaldo left for UV. He was at the peak of his
[5:31] career. There's it's not, yeah, just
[5:34] three peated for Real Madrid. It's not the equivalent.
[5:37] He just won balance. But it's also not the Man United
[5:39] version. It is the Man United version.
[5:41] It is. You guys are one you guys cuz
[5:44] you guys are Ferrari fans. You're you guys don't understand
[5:46] that Hamilton is not the Hamilton of old.
[5:48] Yeah, but it's not, but it's not Hamilton.
[5:50] Like you have to understand Hamilton needs time with the
[5:52] car. He needs to get used.
[5:53] It's. The F1 is not like that F1 is
[5:55] it? Jump onto a pitch and start
[5:56] scoring goals. Yeah.
[5:58] Is it in bop it to Real Madrid for people you know?
[5:59] No, no, 'cause he's that's a way young.
[6:03] Yeah, OK. Hamilton, This was like a legacy
[6:05] thing, like to race with Ferrari and possibly win the the
[6:07] championship that pushes him to the 8.
[6:10] Like that was the story. That's the storyline.
[6:11] It's a storyline transfer. Bapa to get the Champions League
[6:14] around? No Ronaldo to help Man United
[6:17] get back their Premier League title and shit.
[6:19] It's a storyline transfer. Thank you, you're proving my
[6:22] point. No, but it's just they just the
[6:23] stars align a lot more with Hamilton than Ronaldo going to
[6:27] Manchester United. Like what was the point of a
[6:28] second transfer to Manchester United?
[6:30] What was the point of Hamilton to Ferrari?
[6:32] Because he could win his eighth championship and he's with the
[6:34] most historic team. But what you have from?
[6:36] The team, from the team perspective, what what helped?
[6:39] Like why do it see you don't like you're not an F1 like fan
[6:43] so you don't know. Leclair is better than Hamilton
[6:46] right now bro. You don't understand that having
[6:48] a veteran driver like Hamilton behind the scenes, like working
[6:50] with the engineers, tweaking the car and fixing it after hours,
[6:53] that's so much more. Get Fernando Alonso bro you.
[6:57] That's. Bro he's 40.
[6:59] Like he's like 44. And he's better than Hamilton.
[7:02] No, OK. Yeah, we're moving on because.
[7:04] He's better than. Hamilton not better than
[7:06] Hamilton. Right now, current day.
[7:08] Two seasons, two seasons with with you, with Hamilton as a
[7:11] secondary driver for Mercedes. All of a sudden we forget what
[7:14] he's done. If you're using your 11 sample
[7:17] size, Alonzo DNF this race, so yeah.
[7:20] Shit no, but I'm doing 2 years of sample size for Hamilton, him
[7:23] competing basically. Alonzo.
[7:25] Alonzo was the clear number one for Aston Martin though.
[7:27] Like the clear number one. Yes, and Hamilton was not the
[7:30] number. One Queen one and two at at
[7:32] Aston Martin look insanely. Large look who they kept them
[7:35] well, yeah, if you look into it, but the gap was I saying the the
[7:40] gap between never mind forgot what I was going George.
[7:44] Literally rage baited into forgetting your thought.
[7:46] No, because like you, you wouldn't get it.
[7:48] You don't watch F1, you just rage bait us.
[7:50] But yeah, I think the tifos here are a little a little
[7:53] disappointed from the. From the finished 10th, by the
[7:56] way. Yeah, well, I.
[7:58] Looked it up. We as I said, it was Porsche.
[8:00] Finish. Of six, 6th or 7th, you didn't
[8:03] have a good race either. There's no you ask Chaji be
[8:05] getting a. Ratioed by by your teammate is
[8:08] crazy work. The teammate that's been there
[8:10] for like 4 years? Like yes.
[8:12] Obviously, bro. But I.
[8:14] Suppose he got into a fight to this engineer too.
[8:17] Just straight misinformation. Bringing toxic environment.
[8:20] It's Ronaldo to Man United. Toxic environment.
[8:22] Barbara F1 is not for region F1 is a is a very.
[8:25] Toxic. This guy a very good community.
[8:27] Lewis Hamilton. You're not convincing me,
[8:29] Barbara. Seven time world champion, but
[8:30] yeah. Just Lewis Hamilton chaps.
[8:31] Anyway, let's let's get to something that Varvara knows a
[8:34] little bit more about. Down which well, was.
[8:36] A little bit, though not. Long, just a little.
[8:38] How debatable. You had a joke lined up straight
[8:41] for you, How can you not do the Let's speak about something
[8:44] else. Varvar knows nothing about CL.
[8:47] You had a joke light up and then you want a crazy.
[8:50] You missed the layup and then you want a crazy ally OOP
[8:53] because then you would have answered me.
[8:55] Me neither bro. Because I didn't like I want
[8:57] Champions League either. No, your team.
[8:59] Played bro at least. Yeah, well, we're sitting on the
[9:01] same couch. Legit sitting on literally, and
[9:04] a lot of teams are going to be sitting on the same couch is
[9:06] because the quarterfinals are set now.
[9:07] But I think definitely that there were two main storylines
[9:11] that came out of this round of 16.
[9:13] But we'll start with drama. We got a lot of drama stuff.
[9:16] We'll start with the real at Larico Cinema, absolute cinema
[9:20] that First off, I'm just going to say it.
[9:22] I think I thought Rico should have won that game.
[9:23] Should have went through. Should have went through, but
[9:25] should have went through. Penalties.
[9:26] Nothing fucking happened in the game.
[9:28] Should have went. Through I mean first leg they
[9:30] were the better side and I do think they were equal at least
[9:33] to Real Madrid in both legs. But Alvarez, Aranya
[9:38] unfortunately slip up. Poor penalty.
[9:40] Listen, the, the, the way I see that rule that I don't think
[9:44] they can change it because that rule can if they change it to
[9:48] like back to the way that you can kick on your own foot or
[9:50] whatever, where is the line of like, can players now start
[9:53] doing double like elastical pens UEFA?
[9:57] Is now looking into the rule, yeah.
[9:59] And they want to add to the rule that it has to be completely
[10:02] unintentional. That's the thing.
[10:03] But that's so subject. Well, no, actually, if a guy is
[10:06] an elastical pen, like, it's pretty.
[10:07] Pretty pretty, but more like if he slips like that was like Leon
[10:11] Alvarez penalty was a clear slip.
[10:13] How do you How do you? Yeah, exactly, But that's very
[10:16] obviously unintentional. What if this our training, bro,
[10:18] football has become so advanced that you can't train to a fall?
[10:22] No, but you can brought is it is it really worth it at that point
[10:26] to spend 10,000 hours just shooting the ball?
[10:31] You're you're guys going to turn into what's the what's the Matt?
[10:34] What's the the Tom Cruise to learn how to take a pen?
[10:39] Learn to be a stuntman? To start falling backwards?
[10:42] Controlled falls. Get those Oscars bro.
[10:44] Yes. I'm saying bro, a guy, a guy
[10:47] very dedicated to it can learn how to make his his instep
[10:51] slightly touch the ball and bounce it and so that his his
[10:54] his other foot kicking it is like it's the ball's elevated.
[10:57] Yeah, but what ended up happening is that he shot with
[11:00] like he slipped with his left and he shot with his right to
[11:03] his left. It's not that the the landing
[11:05] foot kicked the ball. Out it was you know what he
[11:07] kicked it ended up. And that's what people didn't
[11:09] understand. And honestly, that's when I was
[11:11] watching. I thought that he hit it with
[11:13] his left leg but he didn't. Well, it was like a boom boom,
[11:16] like he kicked it and then it bounced.
[11:17] He. Kicked it to his leg.
[11:18] It's not really it shouldn't by the rule.
[11:21] It shouldn't have counted enough counted.
[11:23] Now should we fix the rule is more the question.
[11:26] But a lot of people are saying, oh, Real Madrid, even if that
[11:29] would have counted it was still a tie tie penalty shootout.
[11:32] But which is which is still a 5050.
[11:35] Yeah, but regard like. I still think why, why not
[11:38] retake it? Like, is it that big of a deal
[11:40] that you know? Well, I mean, the fact that was
[11:43] it FIFA or UEFA, they both like they came out and said that like
[11:47] immediately we'll review shows that.
[11:50] I think they do also see it as like somewhat unfair.
[11:53] And that wasn't a good look, that.
[11:54] Really wasn't. They didn't stick to it.
[11:55] Instantly defended, not defended.
[11:57] They instantly like said. We did you see Diego Simeone 2
[12:00] after the game? That was a.
[12:02] Game or a loss? Yeah, I know.
[12:04] What did anyone did? Anyone.
[12:05] See the ball get kicked twice? Razor and see the ball and the
[12:08] camera pans. There's no one in the room.
[12:10] There's one reporter sitting in the middle.
[12:12] Yeah. I didn't see that view.
[12:14] Yeah, his whole rant, his whole rant was in front of one like
[12:17] maybe 2 reporters. They must have said like no
[12:19] reporters allowed in this no in this interview.
[12:21] It was probably because they wanted to report on the winners.
[12:24] Probably I don't know, I don't know, but like.
[12:26] Sometimes you could say, like, I don't want those, those
[12:28] journalists I don't want. Those and hugged in that Man
[12:30] United. Yeah, exactly.
[12:31] So you choose who you want in the room?
[12:33] Yeah, you probably chose no one. So and so then he's.
[12:35] Well, that's crazy. He told the one guy, yes, ask me
[12:38] this question please. Who?
[12:40] Anyone raise your hand? You see no one raise your hand.
[12:43] No one was there so. You should be a position that's
[12:46] pretty. Good.
[12:47] Oh, he's got the, he's got the notes, he's got the code.
[12:49] Then he's gonna say, you see, no one limited their hand.
[12:51] Straight out of Stalin's book there.
[12:53] You go. Can't vote against you if
[12:54] there's no one to vote, yeah? But it is a shame that like
[12:57] something a a game like that over 2 like intense bro, like
[13:00] that was an intense couple games and it got decided over pens
[13:04] firstly, and then secondly, there's with drama like and it
[13:07] especially as a real fan, like Asterix, like you didn't you
[13:11] went. You were saying as a real fan, I
[13:12] was like, no, no, like this happened.
[13:14] No, that one to the that one to the Juventus.
[13:17] Arsenal, No, there's no real, there's no real fans in the
[13:20] room. These are all neutrals.
[13:21] There's no real fans in the room.
[13:23] But I'm looking at you, however, but I mean, going now in the
[13:29] following rounds, bro, it's Real Madrid.
[13:30] So like I'm back, I'm back to, I'm back to Real Madrid.
[13:33] Aura versus everyone. Else and there's no better story
[13:35] than Real, like the only team that could have done this in CL
[13:39] is Real Madrid. Like this shit housery like
[13:43] Arsenal fans. I like they meltdown over the
[13:46] smallest thing. If something like that happened
[13:48] to Arsenal fans in the next round, I think I actually think
[13:51] Twitter would break. I actually think there would.
[13:54] Twitter would cease to exist. I'd be there bro.
[13:56] The fans would shut down. I would be there no matter what.
[13:59] There were those true highlights.
[14:01] I'll be there no matter what. This is like, like Twitter wise,
[14:03] this is like plastic. Like plastic, you don't see many
[14:07] real, real accounts versus like a fan base that you see infinite
[14:10] accounts and it's always, it's usually salty.
[14:12] Yeah, like Arsenal fans are usually being salty about
[14:14] something on Twitter. Is Saka supposed to be back for
[14:17] that matchup? Maybe the second?
[14:19] Oh no, not even the second leg. It's April, it's I'll look up.
[14:22] It's April. It's April 8th, so the second
[14:24] leg apparent. According to the the timeline it
[14:27] should be April 11th, 2nd week. Oh, my second.
[14:30] You know our teta is fucking. Even if the hamstring's half
[14:33] cooked, he's in. You're in.
[14:35] Get to that right wing, Yeah. It's all they got fighting for,
[14:37] about all they got. So definitely, definitely,
[14:40] really. Early April 2015 so yeah, OK, so
[14:43] he's rushing him in so that means it's gonna be mid March.
[14:45] So we should be seeing him soon. Surprised you didn't get called
[14:48] up to the England squad to be honest.
[14:49] I mean. We got something to talk about
[14:51] the audience. You be training tomorrow
[14:52] morning. But yeah, tough, tough for real.
[14:55] It's not much to say. I mean, Athletico didn't deserve
[14:58] to go through. In the end, Real Madrid
[15:01] outclassed them and they won the penalties.
[15:03] However, there's another tie that kind of changed the
[15:06] conversations, I think. There's been a shift in the
[15:11] there's been a shift in the the top league in the world.
[15:13] Some would say. Whispers.
[15:15] I just hear whispers on Twitter that's I'm just the messenger.
[15:17] Don't show. Me some rumblings.
[15:19] But apparently the best league in the world with the best team
[15:22] in the best league in the world lost to League One McDonald's
[15:26] Top team League One McDonald's, by the way, new new sponsor
[15:29] McDonald's. Joint You're wearing the
[15:31] Liverpool kit. Milly always wears the the wrong
[15:34] kit every time. He always wears the wrong kit.
[15:36] I mean I I were with fits bro. I'm not getting rage baited bro,
[15:41] because it's not a rage bait if you are.
[15:42] It's not even if there was a lie detector in this room right now,
[15:46] every single one of you, I would say the Prem is the best league
[15:50] in the world without a shadow of a doubt.
[15:52] So I'm not getting. Raped about it.
[15:53] These guys are literally creating a fictional rage bait
[15:57] conversation just to reel me in. You understand this?
[15:59] I'm not. The fans, it's a 3.
[16:01] V1 Every week I hop on this pod. Bro it's about the fans and the
[16:04] fans want a neutral take and I'm just saying it who's the what's
[16:08] the best league in the? World Alice saw a tweet with
[16:09] three likes on Twitter that said the Prem.
[16:11] No, I we can't take that league seriously.
[16:13] Oh, you're. Saying bye, I saw the last.
[16:14] Thing on. You pulled the diegos to me on
[16:16] it. I'm.
[16:16] Going to be honest I saw it on our live stream, they were
[16:19] chatting, they were saying oh what happened to Liverpool?
[16:21] Rage baiters too. Barbara, what's the best league
[16:22] they're? All masturbators bro.
[16:24] What's the best league in the world?
[16:25] The Prem. Of course, who's the best team
[16:27] in your league? Right now, honestly, Liverpool
[16:31] lost back-to-back. But that's the best.
[16:33] Arsenal just got a clean sheet against.
[16:35] Chelsea, Oh my God. So who is it?
[16:37] Are you in the? Manchester United haven't lost
[16:40] in a month and a half. OK, so.
[16:41] Manchester United So you bring the.
[16:42] Only undefeated team in Europe. No, no.
[16:45] Who is the best team? Manchester United.
[16:47] Oh, you come on now that's smart.
[16:48] Trying to get out of the only undefeated team in Europe,
[16:51] unfortunately. The only undefeated team in
[16:53] Europe this season. Oh, come on, you know it's.
[16:55] Plus we haven't lost in like a month and a half.
[16:57] Who ran away the back game? Ran away with your title,
[16:59] Liverpool. 15 points bro. That's the fact of the matter.
[17:03] And they've been knocked out by Paris Saint Germain, bro.
[17:06] Once again, our teams in Seattle.
[17:08] So, OK, who would you think is the best league in the world?
[17:11] I'll throw it back to you. OK, go let.
[17:13] Me, think about it. Gotta say La Liga, gotta say La.
[17:17] Liga there's a three-way tie bro.
[17:18] It might. Just be right.
[17:19] So Man United just beat real associate that OK, so we knocked
[17:22] that one off the list. What was?
[17:24] That was that a friendly or? I didn't see that on the big on
[17:27] the Billboard. Oh sorry, I don't follow.
[17:29] That league. Oh, OK.
[17:29] Yeah, I'll get you. Better get used to it.
[17:31] I don't. I don't.
[17:33] I don't. Follow that.
[17:34] It has been bad. Bro.
[17:35] We were supposed to be in conference like two years ago.
[17:38] We said Nah, Nah, screwed up bro just kick us out.
[17:40] They kicked us out. But this does not change any
[17:43] opinion on the best league in the world conversations.
[17:45] This is just they caught Liverpool at a bad time and hats
[17:49] off bro. PSG you really That's a
[17:50] statement win. I I spoke to a PSG fan recently.
[17:53] They say it's the biggest win in their history.
[17:55] Potentially. Really.
[17:57] Yeah, They say it's bigger than that win against Dorman.
[18:00] They say it's bigger than that win against Atlanta, that they
[18:03] had to come back like he said it meant.
[18:05] More when they went, when they went to a final versus Bayern,
[18:07] who do they beat in the set? Did they have?
[18:09] Like they beat, they beat Dortmund.
[18:10] Dortmund, Yeah. And.
[18:11] Then prior. Like they beat Atlanta.
[18:13] I could see the argument. So there was no they beat
[18:14] Leipzig, so they've never played a big.
[18:17] No, but they they. Like a massive.
[18:19] Match I think they beat Barcelona one year in CL if I'm
[18:21] not mistaken. Man City I think they beat one
[18:23] year. You know what?
[18:23] This was, you know, this was like Canada, USA, like I think
[18:27] there was, I think it was very charged behind, yes, because you
[18:31] had the top of the top team in the Premier League.
[18:33] That was kind of like USA Hockey saying that they're the best
[18:36] team in the world. Let's give me anyone will beat
[18:39] them. And then you had PSG brother.
[18:42] No. Brother, this is this is
[18:44] literally OK. This is no.
[18:46] It's like. Boo.
[18:47] It was charged. You have to, you have to bro.
[18:49] You had you had neutrals that didn't even watch bro.
[18:52] Liverpool. Do not support Premier League
[18:54] team, we do not support PSG. But yet I was there, screaming
[18:57] and hollering, watching PSG. Non non Prem fans act like this
[19:01] when it was Liverpool versus PSG but Liverpool are literally on
[19:04] the vibe of I don't even know who you are.
[19:07] That's good. Now they know what?
[19:08] The fuck? They are bored bro Literally.
[19:10] Yes, but this guy speaking like it was the biggest build up,
[19:15] like there's political tension between.
[19:16] Listen, no, but it was it was there was some background to it,
[19:19] bro. We were like, it was basically
[19:21] the world versus the elites. Yeah bro, this was this was PSG
[19:25] the. The people.
[19:26] The people won. So what happens if they lose to
[19:29] Aston Villa? We don't care bro, we already
[19:30] got. We already got.
[19:31] We already got. We already got it, bro.
[19:33] We already got the the the love bro.
[19:35] That game. Anything could happen.
[19:36] We don't care, OK? That's why.
[19:37] Man United smokes Leo next round I'll I'll.
[19:40] You'll keep that in the bank, yeah.
[19:42] Well, listen, listen. Liverpool still have the
[19:44] premier. League Man United are going to
[19:45] get Liverpool's get back. That's your league, by the way.
[19:49] That's crazy. So we're doing any football
[19:51] analysis today or we're just rage rate.
[19:53] We're just rage baiting each other.
[19:54] That's crazy. Funny rage bait bro.
[19:57] I watched Lyon today, they played decent 4/2.
[20:00] That's you're tuning into that. To scout the opponents you know
[20:03] can't let the OPS go unnoticed. They're very good right now,
[20:05] yeah. Intriguing, even with Fonseca
[20:08] sitting in. The Yeah.
[20:09] Seven month band. Liverpool beat them.
[20:12] All I got to say is that I am Cherokee.
[20:14] We need to have conversations about this brother too, and this
[20:16] could be maybe a Patreon thing, but it's brothers.
[20:19] Just Patreon Subs drop to 0. Breaking news, Nobody.
[20:23] Signed up for that conversation. Breaking news.
[20:27] We get it. That's where we get.
[20:30] It no, but I don't know if you guys have seen this guy's stats
[20:33] recently. Crazy work.
[20:34] I think he has like 13 goals in assistant last 10 games or
[20:37] something like that. Crazy.
[20:39] He's playing crazy. Finally fulfilling the potential
[20:41] that he had set for him. But then if he would get like
[20:43] let's say this summer, he gets, he would get a big word to get a
[20:46] big move. Probably won't, but I just know
[20:48] that transfer would be a flaw. But there's actually a whole,
[20:50] there's a whole background to his past transfers that fell
[20:54] through and shit. Like as a 17 year old, he was
[20:57] like 24 hours away from joining Manchester United as a 17 year
[21:00] old for 25,000,000. But Leo pulled out of the deal
[21:04] last second. Man United even sent an airplane
[21:08] to Leo to pick him up, but it fell through last second.
[21:11] Dortmund, we're trying to buy him for the longest while, but I
[21:13] showed you guys, I think I showed you guys the text.
[21:15] The owner of Leo and and Dortmund hate each other, so
[21:18] they don't want to sell it to Dortmund.
[21:20] There's a whole thing. But supposedly his brother, I
[21:22] don't know, but he's, he's fulfilling his potential.
[21:24] Finding form like this you're bound to get a transfer,
[21:27] especially if Leo are not making CL or something.
[21:29] I don't know what place are Leo in in champ I5. 3rd, 5th, 4th.
[21:33] And they're not getting an extra coefficient spots.
[21:35] Psay malsay malsay I say. Lost it against PSG. 2 Nothing.
[21:39] 3 Nothing. Yeah, I think, I think they
[21:42] they're fifth. Yeah, 5th.
[21:44] But Nice are in fourth and they go into Champions League
[21:46] qualification. So even if you finish 4th, you
[21:48] still go into Champions League qualification and Champions
[21:50] League qualification. It's not that easy anymore.
[21:53] You still have teams like I think Gal Tasaray this year lost
[21:55] in champions, Champions qualification.
[21:58] Like there's decent teams in Champions League qualification
[22:00] so. Well.
[22:01] Anyway, back to the back, to the back to the back to the back.
[22:05] So now when it's time to speak about the leagues that aren't
[22:09] the Premier League, No, bro, let's go back to the bro.
[22:12] We have PSG versus Liverpool Champions League and we're
[22:15] talking about Ryan, Kirky and Leon.
[22:18] We know, we know what PSG are up to now, but Liverpool, they're
[22:22] going in, they're going into this season now they only have
[22:25] the Premier League left. So and they got knocked out by
[22:28] by Newcastle and. Over Oh, they lost the they're.
[22:31] Gonna have that bad. They're gonna have to win the
[22:32] second most prestigious trophy in European comps.
[22:35] Bro you're already second most prestigious after.
[22:38] Champions League, the Premier League the the hardest and most
[22:41] prestigious trophy. Whatever floats your boat.
[22:43] But only English teams could play in it.
[22:45] But. But basically but.
[22:46] Basically, you're saying you'd rather win the Europa League
[22:48] than the Premier League. You you can't be prestigious if
[22:50] some teams can't even play in it, Yeah.
[22:51] Yeah, you, you can't you automatically.
[22:53] Talking about World Cup, you can throw that in.
[22:54] So you would rather. OK, so you would rather?
[22:57] What's your thinking in it? Barcelona can't win the Premier
[22:59] League, they're not in it. Sure, so they can never win the
[23:02] second most. But it's harder to win the
[23:04] Premier League than it is to win every other competition, I would
[23:06] say, other than maybe Champions League I.
[23:10] Don't know. I don't know if there's any.
[23:12] What's the statistical statistical?
[23:14] What the fuck's the what? What?
[23:17] But what I'm saying? Is.
[23:23] But Liverpool right now, 15 points ahead, they have no
[23:26] serious games left. None.
[23:28] You don't have to. It's cruise control.
[23:30] Guys, Liverpool fans, see you next year.
[23:34] Am I? Wrong.
[23:34] But am I wrong? He's not wrong.
[23:36] You're up by 15 points, you're not playing any games that are
[23:38] are determinant like does not affect your season.
[23:42] As soon as you lose, it affects your season.
[23:43] Champions League they lose, affects the rest of their
[23:45] season. And I'm not going to lie, it
[23:47] also affects the Balandor rankings because Mohamed Salah
[23:50] only will will only have the Premier League on his CV when
[23:53] Balandor's season comes in. Is he out of contention?
[23:59] 100% right now, I think. You're saying he's out of
[24:01] contention? Listen, it's tough to say
[24:03] because obviously if Barcelona don't win the Champions League
[24:06] then Rafina too is out of contention.
[24:08] But I think just winning the Premier League is not enough
[24:11] nowadays. Context Context because you we
[24:14] watched the PSG, Liverpool two games Salah was a ghost and the
[24:18] moment Salah got yanked in the first game, Harvey came on and
[24:21] scored so. Been a ghost.
[24:23] If you ghost in big matches like that, but yet you score and
[24:26] assist a bunch of goals in the Premier League, it doesn't. 54
[24:29] to be honest, To be exact, 54 yeah, it might be different by
[24:32] time, but yeah, 54. In the Premier League.
[24:34] Yeah, no, 54 are all comps. I think he's at 40, 40 something
[24:39] in the Premier. I'm sure Rafina has a lot of GA
[24:41] 2 and probably less of it is penalties than Salah cause
[24:43] Salah's. No scored a shit though.
[24:44] We're spreading misinformation. What we're spreading this.
[24:47] We we learnt this on stream. Bro what?
[24:49] The stats were sent to us on stream.
[24:50] Salah has more non pen goals and assists than Rafina.
[24:53] This is Salah has better stats. I'm saying I'm, I just said
[24:55] comparable. But I said yes, 44 goals and
[24:58] assists in the Premier League. OK, but now The thing is is that
[25:00] we saw with Vinicious Junior when he really got into that
[25:03] Bollandor conversation when he was scoring important goals for
[25:06] Real Madrid in the Champions League.
[25:07] Mohamed Salah will not have that this season.
[25:09] Rodri didn't have it last year when he didn't win CL.
[25:12] He won the EUR, won the different times because you
[25:14] don't have an international competition right now.
[25:16] Completely different and you know that, but it's.
[25:18] Didn't play the finals of the Euros.
[25:19] Doesn't matter, he was there for the the journey.
[25:22] The journey bro. My God you're such a rage Vader.
[25:26] But you, it's crazy how you guys put so much emphasis on CL the
[25:30] year that a Barsa players involved in CL, but then we did
[25:33] that. Everything isn't fun but then.
[25:34] The year that Real Madrid won CL with Vinicius winning CL, it was
[25:39] guys, let's vote for Rodri. But we vote.
[25:41] I voted for Rodri. I voted for Vinny.
[25:43] Sorry, I I said that Vinny should have won the Balandor.
[25:46] So you're the only one that can actually sit here and say.
[25:48] I also voted for Vinicius. Yeah, we, I think the the
[25:51] consensus. I voted to win.
[25:52] I voted Roger, but I have to say Balandor is about recency
[25:55] because you can't judge what a player did ten months ago when
[25:59] there's the EUR Roger was playing in the EUR.
[26:02] You have to take that into consideration.
[26:04] But forget Roger, we're talking about Salah.
[26:05] Yeah, Salah had is is having an amazing season.
[26:09] No, in the Premier League. Not just an amazing OK, his
[26:11] story, spectacular, historic. In the Premier League.
[26:15] In the Premier League, once of a kind season.
[26:17] One-of-a-kind. In the Premier League.
[26:19] In the Premier League. Bro, he's about to potentially
[26:21] break the goal record plus the assist record.
[26:24] You know how do you know how fucking insane that is?
[26:26] How? Many goals does he have?
[26:27] 20 Let me check. He's not potentially breaking
[26:30] the goal. Record 27.
[26:31] Is also on pen. Yeah, how many games left had
[26:35] like 3436? Yeah, there's 10 games left.
[26:39] It really depends on what you value more because listen,
[26:43] ultimately his team, I know it's an individual achievement, but
[26:46] his team is not in Champions League so he will not have those
[26:49] important games. He'll be playing Southampton,
[26:51] he'll be getting two goals. Are you putting more emphasis on
[26:53] those goals that he's scoring in the Premier League?
[26:55] Or maybe but. Then he'll he'll play, let's
[26:57] say, let's just take an example, OK, He'll play Manchester
[27:01] United, OK? Who?
[27:02] And he'll score two goals, Yes. But then when Rafiya goes and
[27:05] does it against Dortmund, you're gonna be like Oh my God, because
[27:08] Phineas and then Benfica, bro, Man United are at the same level
[27:13] than as Dortmund right now. No, you're at the same level as
[27:15] a Benfica, right? One winter Leicester does not
[27:17] change that. You guys are dog shit.
[27:18] You guys would lose the buck. You're acting like I'm saying
[27:21] they're ACL fucking favorites. But you're talking about Benfica
[27:25] and Dortmund? 2 teams in around the 16th.
[27:26] Yes, we are at that level, yes. OK, you're.
[27:29] The reality is that those are the teams that Barcelona all
[27:33] Rafiya has no choice but to face.
[27:35] A dorm Salah has no. Choice, but they also paid
[27:37] places. Also, you're forgetting, yeah.
[27:39] But he he also had a choice to do well against PSG and he
[27:41] didn't like it was in his favor. He had the opportunity to score.
[27:45] Gonna you're gonna take a whole season sample size and boil it
[27:48] down to 1 moment. But unfortunately, Champions
[27:51] League you saw Adam O Lukman won, won the Europa League, he
[27:55] scored a hat trick in the Open league, ended up winning African
[27:56] player. Of the year.
[27:57] Let me speak. Forget this doorman gimmick that
[27:59] you're you're pulling out. Iffina scored against Real
[28:02] Madrid multiple times this season.
[28:03] Yep, you're just gonna forget that Salah.
[28:04] Scored against many top teams this season.
[28:06] Who top teams in the Prem? Oh, so top teams in the Prem are
[28:12] not top teams in the world? Real Madrid is better than
[28:15] every. Team in the Premier League.
[28:16] No they're not. Yes they are.
[28:17] No they're not put in a league format.
[28:19] I'm a Real Madrid fan bro. Like OK sure Dorman Dorman.
[28:24] Liverpool have one loss in the Premier League, one loss very
[28:26] good in 29 games. Real Madrid have multiple
[28:29] fucking losses this season and Real Madrid fans themselves will
[28:32] tell you they would not win the Premier League this season.
[28:34] And you play. You play Real Madrid over 2 legs
[28:37] versus anyone in the Premier League, they win.
[28:39] Put them in a league format and Real Madrid are not winning the
[28:41] Premier League. But if?
[28:42] You get the technicalities. Bro you could face them is in a
[28:45] knockout format or if anything it's it's league format with
[28:48] Champions League. But that's only an 8 game sample
[28:50] size, so. Balloon Dorf always, always has
[28:52] and always will favorite tournaments.
[28:54] Favorite tournaments and big game players?
[28:56] Yes, yes. The guy that grinds quietly will
[28:59] never get the balloon Dor versus a guy that plays for big teams.
[29:02] Winning. Now we need to revise because
[29:04] then let's say comes to the end of the year, it was not the best
[29:08] player of that year. It's bro, that's the whole point
[29:11] of the bound door. It's hard to compare players
[29:12] that play in different leagues and they play in different
[29:14] competitions. If Salah helped Liverpool win
[29:17] over PSG, surely where we spoke about it, he would surely be in
[29:21] the Balandor race. The one factor we haven't?
[29:23] Mentioned then next round. Let's say Liverpool lost in the
[29:25] next round to Aston Villa. You would say Oh my God, Salah
[29:28] and CL but what you don't? Understand, Barbara, is that
[29:30] Barcelona would be losing a lot more games if Rafina wasn't
[29:34] playing. I don't think that bro.
[29:35] Big Balandor players changed the course of their team.
[29:39] Vinicius Junior was second place in the in the in the Balandor.
[29:43] Right now that Rafina's a lot more important than Yamal, he's
[29:46] a lot more important than pedry. Rafina to me is the most
[29:49] important player on Barcelona. No, right now for the future of
[29:53] the amount of big games he has changed, he has been that guy
[29:56] bro. Even even just the goal that
[29:58] Rafina scored. Was he CL?
[30:01] Yeah, that's all Laminia Mal bro.
[30:02] Laminia Mal has his moments of excellence is amazing world
[30:05] class, but I think that Rafina has the most important player
[30:08] for Barsa this season regardless.
[30:09] Without him they they heavily stepped down a notch.
[30:12] Salad did not step up when his team needed him.
[30:15] I think if you ask Flick, if you had to keep two players from the
[30:18] squad, let's say right now it wouldn't be Rafina you he would
[30:22] say Pedri and he would say. Yeah, that's that's because they
[30:25] have a world class team like yeah, if you're picking.
[30:28] He's not. He's not even the best player on
[30:30] his team. But you're disregarding Rafina
[30:32] because you're saying we at Barcelona have better players on
[30:35] the team. Bro Rafina has more goals than
[30:37] games. Salah's not playing with the
[30:39] Laminia model that gives him. But not but now they'll play
[30:41] Liverpool. No, because.
[30:42] Because you say the best team in the world and the best league in
[30:45] the world and then when they lose you say.
[30:47] Okay, because they have a Van Dyke.
[30:48] They have a Van Dyke, yes. And on defense he doesn't have a
[30:52] left winger. Like propping up his stats a
[30:56] shit ton. Bro but you still they still had
[30:57] enough to they're the top scoring team in the Premier
[31:00] League. Are they the top scoring team in
[31:02] the Premier League? Or am I like some fucking?
[31:04] If anything. Yes.
[31:07] By a large margin. So who is that?
[31:09] Because? But it doesn't mean that Salah's
[31:11] the guy. The guy with 44 goals and
[31:13] assists? I'm sorry, if anything, Rafina's
[31:15] playing with world class players and he still shines.
[31:18] Yeah, like that's that even he's that helps my argument.
[31:21] Most Salah's not playing with world class players around him.
[31:24] Exactly. And he?
[31:25] Has a bunch of decent to good players around them.
[31:27] But Afina is the opposite. He has very world class and
[31:30] that's crazy to say. Like now you're shooting on the.
[31:32] Okay, so decent to good players is the best team in the Premier
[31:35] League. Okay, so now listen.
[31:37] Yep, good point Millie, honestly.
[31:39] I don't know, you're downplaying so.
[31:40] You can now listen. Listen.
[31:42] The good players, yes. So now left winger Luis Diaz, I
[31:45] would say, is his best compatriot and doesn't even come
[31:49] close to starting for Barcelona. OK.
[31:52] No, but at the beginning of the season Luis Diaz was
[31:53] exceptional, taking a massive follow up, but he was
[31:55] exceptional the beginning of the season.
[31:57] Can Luis Diaz's he's what he what he is.
[32:00] He's an all right player. He's a he's a good player,
[32:02] whatever. He's nothing special striker.
[32:05] They have no good striker option.
[32:06] Jota has your best striker option.
[32:08] I would call it cook quits for the season with that on.
[32:11] The Premier League with it by the.
[32:12] Center Center mid Shobos lie. Oh, now all of a sudden,
[32:16] Shovel's eyes. Not a good player, but he's been
[32:17] cooking. Why are we nitpicking like?
[32:20] Because you're not playing with pedry, he's not playing with
[32:22] your mouth. He's not playing with
[32:23] Lewandowski. Even I'm the biggest Lewandowski
[32:25] eater, Bro Lewandowski's Baron Nunez and so.
[32:27] What I forgot when Pedry was scoring against Real Madrid a
[32:31] hat trick? Solo goal.
[32:32] I don't. Understand your point.
[32:33] OK, so so who gets the ball to Ruffina in these things?
[32:36] Of course it's. Pedry.
[32:36] But who's getting the ball to Salah?
[32:38] He's just picking it up from a goalkeeper.
[32:40] Yes, if you actually I saw a stack, what the fuck you mean?
[32:43] Yes, you. You fell right into the trap.
[32:45] I'm getting rage bated. He's about to make.
[32:47] I saw. No, no, I'll.
[32:49] I'll find it for you too. Yeah.
[32:50] Go find the tweet Twitter merchant.
[32:52] So Salah regurgitate players that bring the ball into the
[32:57] box. So from outside the box into the
[32:59] box, he has like almost double second place in Europe this
[33:02] season. So he's actually taking the
[33:04] ball, bringing it into the box and making stuff happen.
[33:07] Meanwhile, players like La Mina, Mal or Rafina are given the ball
[33:12] in deadly situations. So Sala is the main focus of
[33:15] Liverpool. Everything.
[33:16] Yes. If Sala doesn't play well, the
[33:18] teams cooked. And that's that's exactly what
[33:21] happened versus Piagini lost. But Balandor level players
[33:24] shouldn't have ups and downs like that necessarily.
[33:26] But a Ruffinia, if he has a bad game and everything around,
[33:31] let's say he has a bad game, let's say his passing is off
[33:34] that day or or his dribbling is off that day, it won't matter
[33:37] because Laminia Mao is going to be on and he's going to get his
[33:39] goal or assist on the other wing just but he hasn't.
[33:41] Had Laminia Mao against Real Madrid, he hasn't had that.
[33:43] So you just proved that bars is better than Liverpool?
[33:46] No, because there's there's other, no, there's other
[33:48] variables that included you're better attacking, yes, there's
[33:52] not just attacking. No, but the bounder is an
[33:55] attacking award. Yeah, and that's just the state.
[33:57] Offenders don't win it. Bro, you need to be clinical in
[34:00] important times. That's why Vinicius was even
[34:01] considered for the bondor last season.
[34:03] Because Vinicius bro. Had a lot.
[34:05] I can't wait. Vinicius had a finger.
[34:06] Doesn't win the bondor. I can't wait to have this
[34:08] conversation. You know what revisit thing.
[34:10] But a lot of things do change though, yeah.
[34:11] It's situation. Yeah, situation.
[34:13] Vinicius last season throughout the season was getting a lot of
[34:16] critics talking about him, saying of course Vinicious felt
[34:18] falling off, whatever, whatever. Then he scored, what, two goals
[34:20] in a semi final? Yeah.
[34:21] And and amazing. And then he won a bondor.
[34:24] Yeah. Won a bondor in quotation, yeah.
[34:26] But while also not doing good for Brazil because we're
[34:29] forgetting that's his international.
[34:31] Copernicus was not. Very.
[34:32] If he played good there I think he honestly would have won it,
[34:34] but. For sure.
[34:36] It's tough to say now. I'm not sure about the timeline
[34:38] of it all, but there is an AFCON this year, so like Egypt?
[34:42] It's it would have been a winter.
[34:43] So next December. Yeah, that's not included in the
[34:46] bound door. Isn't it until January?
[34:48] No. I guess not.
[34:49] I guess the end of season because look.
[34:51] When was when was Roger given his Balandor in like November or
[34:54] something? November, but it's fine.
[34:55] But. No, because it takes into the IT
[34:57] takes. No, it's past January.
[34:58] No, it takes the summer into account.
[34:59] Bro Roderick, when did Roderick get given his Balandor?
[35:02] When did we make? That for the 2425 season, that
[35:05] would be. Two months ago or a month ago.
[35:07] So in the half con would be the following.
[35:09] Yes, it would be the next. So there's no savior in the in
[35:11] the afcon for Salah. But regardless like.
[35:14] I mean Club World Cup. There will, there is, there is
[35:16] Club World Cup Liverpool. 'S not in Club World Cup
[35:18] exactly. Sucks this because they're not a
[35:19] big team. Wow.
[35:21] But yeah, I think we can get the power rankings.
[35:23] Definitely, Yeah. Well anyway, congratulations to
[35:25] all the all the fan bases that are into the next round of the
[35:28] Champions League. So.
[35:30] April. April 8th.
[35:31] April 8th we will be there no matter.
[35:32] What? Yeah, we'll be live streaming.
[35:33] Get ready. Yeah.
[35:34] But gentlemen, let's get into the power rankings 'cause that's
[35:37] what everyone wants to see. And we'll start it off, as
[35:40] always, with the number 10 spot. Boys, who do you have as your
[35:43] new number 10? Or sing.
[35:45] I got a crazy one. I had a crazy one too.
[35:48] We let the regular ones go first.
[35:50] I'll start. I have an easy cop out.
[35:52] Newcastle, they just won the Carabao Cup.
[35:54] I have Newcastle as well. OK, not bad.
[35:56] That's my number 10 big. Very big day in Newcastle's
[35:58] history, winning that Carabao Cup because I think it's their
[36:01] first major trophy in like. 70 years. 70 years I saw, yeah.
[36:03] Or 57 or something like that. Yeah, it's a long time.
[36:06] I don't know how long. Long time don't.
[36:07] And on Liverpool, which is crazy.
[36:09] Yeah, Liverpool too. And they dominated.
[36:11] Really. Yeah, yeah, dominated.
[36:12] So it was a it was a crazy game, but Congrats to Newcastle.
[36:16] I actually like I I enjoyed their squad.
[36:18] I think it's a really well put together squad and it's good to
[36:22] see. A lot of teams would have fired
[36:23] their manager last summer after being in CL and crashing out in
[36:29] CL and in Prem finishing I think 7th or 8th or something like
[36:34] that. So a lot of teams would have
[36:36] said, you know what, let's start with the new manager.
[36:39] I I think Eddie Howe's passed it or he got the best out of this
[36:43] team and we need a new cycle. But they stayed patient.
[36:46] If they win their next Premier League game, they're in ACL.
[36:48] Spot they kept Pioli bro. That's basically the pioli.
[36:52] Compare They kept Pioli bro. I mean, they have Tonali so well
[36:55] well. Listen, I think definitely
[36:57] Newcastle for me along the same lines they want when you win
[37:00] silverware, definitely I consider you at least for the
[37:03] list. But listen.
[37:05] But when Man United win the FA Cup?
[37:06] It means that we don't. Consider that means that to be,
[37:08] but I'm. I will say though, it was very
[37:10] difficult to do the the bottom of this list.
[37:12] For some reason. Because because you're looking,
[37:14] you're looking at the teams, you're looking at the squads,
[37:16] like who's playing well and who isn't.
[37:18] There's a lot of teams who are not playing.
[37:19] Well my my list filled itself to be honest.
[37:22] Near the top, yes, but I'm talking about those last couple
[37:24] spots. A lot of teams I feel like that
[37:26] may have had a shout didn't deserve to be in.
[37:29] There like even even like a Nottingham Forest, I feel like
[37:31] last month they would have had a shout but this month like they
[37:34] kind of fell off if they had a couple of bad results.
[37:36] It was like sputtered, Yeah, it wasn't as wasn't as dominant as
[37:39] you would have hoped. Excuse me?
[37:41] No, they had two losses like five games ago and four games
[37:43] ago. But the last three games I think
[37:44] have been two wins, one tie. Win against Man City, win
[37:47] against Ipswich, tie against Arsenal.
[37:49] And then two losses in a row. Loss against Newcastle, which is
[37:51] they're still. Talking to me, which is great.
[37:53] I think they should be like an honorable mention.
[37:55] It definitely an honorable mention.
[37:57] But listen, the 10 spot, and I think this was unanimous for all
[38:00] of us. The 10 spot was almost like a
[38:01] flex spot. You can go for a cop out, yeah,
[38:03] you can go for the Carabao Cup or you can throw in like AI, say
[38:07] a very like random shout. Just say your team bro, you're
[38:09] fucking edging the listeners. Bro, they're gooning right now.
[38:12] I said exotic. I said real Batiste brother.
[38:16] Five guys put the five in the bag.
[38:18] It's. A flex spot.
[38:19] It's a flex. Spot.
[38:20] But it's about power, right? A bit in my top 30s.
[38:23] It's about power. Check.
[38:25] That's not making my March Madness bracket.
[38:27] They are silently cooking bro. Five wins in a row in La Liga
[38:31] before. It's going to work for Anthony
[38:33] now. Let me hear it.
[38:34] Prior, prior, prior to that, prior to that they beat Real
[38:39] Madrid. They beat Real associated that
[38:41] day 0. Sure they played a few shitty
[38:43] teams like Laganis and stuff in the in La Liga.
[38:45] Batiste, we're not talking about Real Madrid here.
[38:46] But it's real, though. It do be real.
[38:48] Real. They are royal.
[38:49] And they're through in the Conference League.
[38:52] I think I'm thinking about a greenest song.
[38:53] But bro, they're through in the Conference League dominantly.
[38:55] I think they won 40 in their last game.
[38:57] Bro, if we wanna give a random shout to a team, I'm gonna say
[39:00] it's real Batiste. I'm not gonna talk about
[39:01] Anthony, but he has been a good addition to the.
[39:03] Team has been a good addition. School has been absolutely
[39:05] cooking and bro, this team is full of rejects.
[39:08] It's a there's a team full of rejects that are just working
[39:11] together. 4 Niles bro. Do you think 4 Niles would be
[39:13] good in 2025? Or 4 Niles bro the issue OK bro
[39:16] because. The.
[39:20] The Premier League was. So good that when he was with
[39:22] West Ham, he was just like an exceptional bro.
[39:25] But go ahead, Barbara, this. Guy was a good player in La
[39:27] Liga. OK, OK.
[39:28] Went to the Prem. A good player in La Liga is an
[39:31] average player in the Prem. That's what he was.
[39:32] He was a bench option for West. Ever thought the play styles are
[39:35] different? But OK, and then went back to La
[39:37] Liga and he's now a good player. Yeah, also that he's.
[39:40] Going back to Spain. So he's very simple.
[39:42] You can't base players completely.
[39:44] Anthony proven again once Anthony is a.
[39:47] Player that gets the league out more than the Prem and he came
[39:49] from Man United which weren't doing well.
[39:51] We watched the same, Anthony. We had the same.
[39:53] Protecting Anthony you. Literally for me this says this
[39:56] guy's the worst player. His brain doesn't.
[39:58] Work, enjoy things bro. Just a hater bro.
[40:04] I'm happy we get to sell him for more.
[40:06] Bro Hernandez seems like he's from Columbus.
[40:08] Cucho Cucho has been training his spot.
[40:11] Cucho. Cucho Cucho which is that guy
[40:14] from the guy from the winger? No the I think.
[40:18] He's the American. No, I might be so wrong.
[40:20] He plays for Betty. As a abde.
[40:22] As a abde OH. The Barcelona Masia guy.
[40:26] He's Moroccan, Yeah, Moroccan from I was in the red continent,
[40:28] like red shelf of the content. Exactly.
[40:30] But. On Eze Abdallawi, a cool little
[40:35] side thing that Real Betis did last month in the January
[40:38] transfer window is a lot of people were confused as to how
[40:42] Rabbitis just allowed their backup striker Vito Roque to
[40:44] just go to Palmettos for free. Well, actually, Barcelona gave
[40:48] them more of a percentage. They gave them back the
[40:51] percentage that they had on Eze Abdallawi to pay for.
[40:56] Barsa didn't have the cat pay so they gave them percentage of Eze
[41:00] Abdullahi to pay for Vitor Roque's cancelling.
[41:04] Mentioning being Eze Abdullahi in that situation for.
[41:07] You was getting stabbed like the.
[41:08] Paperweights so we're taking we're we're you're not
[41:10] percentage and we're using you negotiation.
[41:12] I know you're a human, but you are now a number.
[41:14] Yeah, you're not a percentage, OK.
[41:15] But regardless, it's a, it's a, it's a tension.
[41:17] It's a flex. Perfect.
[41:19] My number 10. I just went with something
[41:21] that's dear to me, A-Team that has been doing great in the past
[41:25] month. They were almost close to
[41:26] relegation couple months ago. Roma.
[41:29] Roma. That's actually a good show.
[41:31] I didn't think about that Knocked out in.
[41:33] Europa League, I knew you would bring that.
[41:34] But that's that's that was their only loss since November.
[41:37] Yeah, OK. So definitely a deserve it.
[41:40] Honestly, I rather real Batis. Honestly, that's crazy.
[41:43] That's just hater shit, right? That's crazy to say.
[41:45] Because. Romar Romar almost touching
[41:48] double digits of position spot in Syria and they're out of
[41:52] conference. Europa League.
[41:54] They're they're, they're three points away from being ACL.
[41:57] Spot. 5 five points away from CL.
[41:59] What spot is that in the table? 8th No. 4th No Roma.
[42:04] Yes, Roma. He's, as he's saying, CL spot.
[42:06] But what spot is Roma in the table?
[42:08] Roma right now they're 8th. But they're five points away
[42:11] from top four, Yes. And if they keep up this form,
[42:13] who says they don't? They don't make it.
[42:14] And they were very low, Very, very low.
[42:16] I think it's more like the reason I put them is that they
[42:19] were so bad in the past months that they were unwatchable first
[42:23] of all, but then Ranieri came in and now they're actually
[42:25] watchable and I don't know, the ball is back to his best.
[42:27] Everyone's playing good. I'm just a flex spot team.
[42:30] I honestly if they had a better result against athletic Bow Wow
[42:34] conversation or would have that I feel like 10th spot would have
[42:37] been perfect for them yeah but obviously that red card Hummels
[42:40] it didn't really help their case but.
[42:42] It was a red card though. Yeah, it was a red card, but
[42:44] before that game they ended up they beat Athletico in the first
[42:47] leg. So definitely they've shown that
[42:49] they've they're a strong side. But how?
[42:51] Mostly we will pay anyways. I I don't mind it, but you guys
[42:54] need to admit that you guys are heavily city are.
[42:56] Biased. It's fine.
[42:58] Just I said it. I said it does.
[42:59] He have one city on team no. He said a new, he said a Premier
[43:03] League team. I said our La Liga team.
[43:05] He. Wanted to put the Roma but he
[43:07] knows it's fucking stupid. He's saying it's stupid.
[43:10] Do you have the hassle on that list?
[43:12] No, but that so no. Newcastle, but you put Roma.
[43:15] OK, but Newcastle's literally one game this month.
[43:17] Yeah, Very important game. One.
[43:19] One game this month? No, it's one game.
[43:21] You based it off the, Yeah? That's all you based it off of.
[43:23] Which is good, it's fine, honestly.
[43:24] Roma and Newcastle, whatever, it's interchanging.
[43:27] Roma's Newcastle's about to be in CL spot in the Premier League
[43:30] this month. Newcastle lost 40 to Man City.
[43:33] And yeah, it's very bad. The current state of Man City.
[43:36] Oh, it's not bad. Bro Man City once again 40 Man
[43:39] City played Real Madrid and it was like kind of close.
[43:45] Ain't no way you just said that. Ain't no bro.
[43:48] I don't even know why you're trying to rage bait on this like
[43:50] it's. Yeah, Barbara, you're.
[43:51] Off to speed that I. Find the 10th spot for this
[43:54] power rankings was very like you could pick whoever Newcastle.
[43:56] Don't like really didn't deserve it.
[43:57] Like to say that to to argue against aroma by saying
[44:00] Newcastle is wrong. To argue against Aroma is fair
[44:03] but to use Newcastle as the as the opposing 1?
[44:06] Like I'm not going to him and say bro, you should say real
[44:08] batiste. Yeah, like it's.
[44:10] Rob Batiste makes more sense, though.
[44:11] They. Didn't get knocked they.
[44:13] Didn't get knocked out of. 'Cause they played.
[44:15] And they beat Real Madrid in the last month.
[44:17] They put it makes more sense if you're trying to use the last.
[44:20] Month, I mean gimmick. You're trying to use the last
[44:23] month gimmick. Real Batiste makes more sense.
[44:25] Bro, Roma's been doing it for four months, Been doing it for
[44:28] like. But they didn't do it against
[44:30] Athletic Bill. I know obviously listen that.
[44:32] One game second leg bro. If they win that game, they're
[44:35] in my top ten, they lose that game, they're in my 11 to 15.
[44:37] So like that really doesn't take away from Porto the how they're
[44:41] doing. Bro they're barely in the top
[44:43] ten of fucking City Eye and you're trying to but.
[44:45] It's so close. It's close looking at the
[44:46] standings you can't look at. It's literally like five points
[44:48] away. Now you have.
[44:49] To look. They they bro, they were.
[44:50] Barely in the top ten this area OK.
[44:52] He really actually did not. But you did not listen to a
[44:56] single thing we literally just said.
[44:57] I said at this point in the season, you shouldn't be looking
[44:59] at 12345678. You should be looking at points,
[45:02] yes. And what's separating them by?
[45:04] Points. We shouldn't, we shouldn't be
[45:06] looking at 12345678, no, at the standing.
[45:09] We should be looking look at the points.
[45:11] Yes. Oh, because, Matt, remember when
[45:13] matches came second in the Premier League 2 in the.
[45:16] That's a big number, Yeah. You guys were down by what, 20
[45:18] points? Yeah.
[45:19] How about that's when you look at points because I'm trying to
[45:22] tell you, you are looking at Roma or eighth.
[45:24] They shouldn't be in there. No, it's because they're five
[45:26] points away from a Champions League spot in Seria and they're
[45:30] on a winning record. Right now, but this is power
[45:32] rankings, guys. Power rankings do not rely on
[45:34] anything but current power of the teams.
[45:38] You can be 20th, but if you just went yes, 20 games undefeated
[45:41] and you're beating, you're beating the best teams in your
[45:43] league, you're allowed to be in the power.
[45:45] Yes, it's power rankings. It's not how good your season.
[45:49] But Roma once again they lost to an Athletic Bilbao team over 2
[45:53] legs. That is not.
[45:54] That's a fair argument. That's a fair argument.
[45:56] It's not a spectacular team that is, or they lost to Real Madrid
[46:00] or something. They lost to Athletic Bilbao
[46:02] over 2 legs. Listen, I I could go in my 9th
[46:04] right away. Go for it, yeah, Which is Aston
[46:06] Villa, who are ninth in the Premier League.
[46:08] However, I do think in the Champions League they've they've
[46:11] gone forward and they've had pretty good performances against
[46:14] club Brooks. Still bro, you have to take
[46:16] what's in front. Of you, I don't think they
[46:18] haven't even been good in the. Premier League I have, I have
[46:19] they. Haven't I have asked, Well
[46:22] actually in the past. I'd say 4-5 games.
[46:24] Yellow glaze it's. Not bro take take out they.
[46:27] Are in the past 4-5 games like with the addition of Ascencio
[46:29] and Rashford, they've looked better.
[46:31] Bro they lost 41 to Crystal Palace, they won 20 to Cardiff,
[46:35] they beat Bradford 10. But they're, they're Champions
[46:39] League. There's a, there's a big yeah.
[46:41] I have, I have a prime team. I'm Nottingham Forest for me
[46:45] personally. You guys really couldn't find
[46:46] anyone pretty spots it's. Crazy.
[46:48] What do you mean not even forest bro.
[46:50] They're third in the Prem. They just, they just beat
[46:53] Ipswich yesterday, I think 410 up the. 42 Up the four, two the
[46:57] horses. Milankovic goal and assist by
[47:02] the way, they beat Man City one nil.
[47:04] They tied Arsenal 00, which I would say is a good result.
[47:07] Like I think that. Means someone that I have from
[47:10] 1:00 to 9:00. I don't know, isn't on your
[47:12] list. For me, 9 and 10 was just like
[47:15] you. You kind of have to figure out
[47:17] two. Wins in the like I I get who
[47:19] they played, sure, but two wins in the span of since the last
[47:23] time we did power rankings, I find it.
[47:25] I had them higher last time. But I just find it.
[47:28] You also had Napoli. A team you also had Napoli above
[47:30] Barcelona, everyone, Varvar last power king said.
[47:33] Napoli was above Barcelona and Real Madrid.
[47:35] Yes, let it be known. But Napoli had a bad month and
[47:39] they had a good month so that you will not be seeing, I feel.
[47:42] Like it's. Comparable.
[47:43] So you will not be seeing Napoli, but you're monopoly had
[47:47] a comparable. Run to Nottingham, that a
[47:50] comparable run. No, forget the run where they
[47:53] stand right now, you're using completely.
[47:56] Once again. We do this every power ranking.
[47:58] I'm looking at the past month. You have to understand what I
[48:00] think is not it's not just you're 90% of the last month is
[48:05] 90% of my thinking is last month and 10% I'll give to the where
[48:08] they stand and shit, it's where do they stand and today, OK, if
[48:12] if this team like. That should play.
[48:14] That should be. Everything because then then you
[48:17] put Atlanta as is Atlanta in your power ranking, no.
[48:20] Their third, Nottingham 4th, plays Atlanta.
[48:22] Nottingham Force is winning. It's debatable.
[48:24] It's not debatable. Atlanta lost the Club Rouge, so
[48:27] OK. Aston Villa beat Club Rouge.
[48:30] Exactly. And Nottingham Forest?
[48:31] Let me see that's. The villain in your power
[48:32] ranking. We're going into just absolute.
[48:34] Bulls on your power rankings. No, but.
[48:36] Bro stop with them head to heads.
[48:37] Bro power ranking should be yes how powerful the team is.
[48:40] In theory, tomorrow #1 should beat everyone else #10 should
[48:44] not beat any other team in the top tens I.
[48:47] Don't know. No, that's at all.
[48:48] How were rankings? It's in the past month.
[48:51] How well has this team done in terms of performances, results?
[48:54] Yeah, we keep doing this. How, How powerful has the team
[48:58] been in the past month in terms of performances, where they
[49:01] stand, where they were? But why where they stand?
[49:03] Because if aroma was. But they want the.
[49:06] End now they're 920 last games. OK, forget Roma this month.
[49:10] Roma I could like I could switch to me, it was like just
[49:12] something I threw, but like an Aston Villa has had good
[49:17] performances in this month. So automatically even though
[49:20] they're 9th, they've they need to be in this conversation.
[49:23] In Prem as a Man United fan, I would rather play you.
[49:25] Could put bro Man United has had a good month I.
[49:28] I agree, and they're nowhere near power rankings.
[49:30] I'm not fucking. Stupid.
[49:31] That's because you also look at performances and you say,
[49:33] listen, Man United has not had. Man United played well this.
[49:36] Month you haven't played anyone, you haven't proven that you can
[49:38] beat any top team. Roma have.
[49:41] No, but I'm not bro. Stop using Roma.
[49:43] Did I pick Roma? But we outclassed Arsenal.
[49:46] We should have beaten Arsenal. OK, but you didn't?
[49:49] OK, but scoreboard bro, the all classic.
[49:52] So you classic. I'll bring this one back.
[49:54] No, but you didn't. I'll bring this one back, but
[49:56] don't. Scoreboard there you're gonna be
[49:58] scoreboard. Yeah, exactly.
[50:00] It's just gonna be a bunch of scoreboards.
[50:01] No, but don't theoreticize a win.
[50:03] Yeah, you can't theoreticize a win.
[50:04] So no bringing up if you played well or not if you didn't win.
[50:08] No, you bring up performances, but scoreboard ultimately
[50:11] determines a lot. Like but it's all scoreboard.
[50:15] That's but you're but you. You drew, OK, that was good,
[50:18] very positive. You drew and you put up a good
[50:20] game. That's definitely a positive.
[50:21] We spoke about that and like Leicester, a Leicester win like
[50:24] you need context to these things.
[50:26] I agree Power rankings is based on the team needs to have played
[50:29] top teams and performed well in one if they wanna be up for the
[50:34] top ten in the best teams in the.
[50:35] World, I'm just gonna say I, I, I valued the important games.
[50:39] For sure, the important games are all of it because that's
[50:41] where they're going up against the other potential topic.
[50:43] Wrong. I'm sure like a a Rangers could
[50:45] win 20 games unbeaten in a row and if maybe five of them are
[50:49] like in conference league or whatever, like they still won't
[50:52] get considered for top ten because you need the context.
[50:53] Yeah, fair. Like obviously Prem teams always
[50:56] have that benefit in the power rankings and that's why Aston
[50:59] Villa and Newcastle have already gotten mentioned because they
[51:01] play versus the bigger teams of the world more more so.
[51:04] But yeah, so you have Aston Villa 9A9, you have Aston Villa
[51:08] A9. I had like, no, I had Nottingham
[51:10] Forest, had Nottingham. You had a Nottingham Forest,
[51:13] bro. I can't imagine that these guys
[51:14] aren't in your power ranking. I said buyer Leverkusen bro I
[51:17] not out of. My power I not in my.
[51:19] Power I don't like I I value heavily dropping them because of
[51:23] the loss to Byron. Yeah, and they dropped, they
[51:25] dropped very low, but I can't say that.
[51:29] I can't say that Aston Villa, like I can't say they wouldn't
[51:32] beat Aston Villa or Newcastle if they play tomorrow.
[51:35] I, I see what you're saying, but I also took into account like
[51:38] Vert's injury, like that monster, monster blow.
[51:43] And you kind of saw that in the second leg with Bayern.
[51:45] Like, and The thing is that Leverkusen we all came in with
[51:48] in that Champions League game thinking that like they they
[51:50] were going to beat Bayern because they showed how good
[51:53] they how, how well they played when they faced them and they
[51:55] ended 00. So it was definitely
[51:58] disappointing to see Byer Leverkusen crash out, but even
[52:01] not. Just get crash out like
[52:03] dominated. Dominated, but even in the
[52:05] Bundesliga too, right after that game, after.
[52:08] The They lost against Werder Berman.
[52:09] They lost too. So like for me, it was very
[52:11] tough to look at that Leverkusen team and say like, can these
[52:14] teams in the top ten beat them? But like, I respect, I respect
[52:18] keeping Leverkusen in there because they are still second in
[52:21] the Bundesliga, so. Yeah, I'm not, I wouldn't
[52:24] necessarily vouch for them that you guys have to have them in
[52:27] your power rankings. But I just, I look, I looked at
[52:28] it through a lens like I think there's still a a very powerful.
[52:31] Team world quality wise. It's just and then chubby
[52:34] Alonzo, so like. They're they're on that edge.
[52:36] They're on, they're on. The edge you could.
[52:37] Throw them, you're definitely better than all the teams we
[52:39] just mentioned. So like your paper on?
[52:42] Paper. They're on paper.
[52:44] And as a team, as a collective. But the past month?
[52:46] Like they're better than nodding and forest bro Livy cusen.
[52:49] Not this year. Like you said, not this year.
[52:52] That's crazy that's your opinion, but.
[52:54] Your opinion but. I think, I think Levi cues in
[52:56] like the fact that they're now like almost bound to come second
[52:59] in the in the Bundesliga, like because of this bad month, it's
[53:03] tough. Like it's tough to to vouch for
[53:05] them. You know, like Bayern is running
[53:07] away with a title, right? Now 6 points ahead.
[53:10] No, I just looked at it. Six points ahead only.
[53:13] Yeah, drew to Union Berlin as well, and they lost.
[53:15] As well, Bayern also dropped points.
[53:17] Yeah, yeah, OK. Definitely close, but in the
[53:19] eighth spot, gentlemen, who do you have?
[53:21] Athletico. Madrid bro, I have Athletico
[53:23] too. Oh, I have Athletico too.
[53:25] Big drive. Off I actually do have Athletico
[53:27] too. So we all agree, United, this
[53:29] should be an easy one. But it's a tough, tough team to
[53:32] grade because they they had such a good past months and then just
[53:37] this month they. Crashed out.
[53:38] Don't say crashed out bro. Don't say crashed out.
[53:41] They went to penalties versus Real Madrid in the Champions
[53:44] League. That's like yes, but if any
[53:46] other team does that they give you insane amounts of props.
[53:49] If you say scoreboard, I'm throwing something at.
[53:51] You no I that's a valid point I could bring up right now, but
[53:55] when Liverpool lose on feds to PSG?
[53:57] Different story bro. It's a different story.
[53:59] They got fucking dumb. They did.
[54:02] They did. Oh.
[54:04] They did have I have I ever said that Athletico was the best team
[54:07] in the best league in the world? You just said La Liga is the
[54:10] best league in the world. Yeah.
[54:12] That's correct and. Where's, where's and where's
[54:14] Athletico now? He's remembering all his agendas
[54:16] now, trying to link them together.
[54:18] And we're. So now I have to say, come on.
[54:22] Athletico's performances have been good, it's just they
[54:25] haven't gotten the results against obviously Real Madrid,
[54:29] even Barcelona, they lost. In penalty changes and they're
[54:32] first on their. Power.
[54:33] No. But this month they even lost
[54:34] against. Was it Liganes?
[54:36] I forget. They lost against another team.
[54:38] And now in La Liga, they're third.
[54:41] Yeah. So Barcelona passed them.
[54:42] Real Madrid passed. Them the issue is is that
[54:44] Athletico have been in those in and around 1st to 3rd all
[54:48] season. Yes, but this is where where the
[54:51] the most important points are and unfortunately they're
[54:54] dropping the ball when they need it most.
[54:56] I think they played, I think they played extremely well
[54:59] against Real Madrid. Both legs like. 5050 to be.
[55:02] It really doesn't take away from how well they've been this, how
[55:06] well they've been doing this season, but unfortunately, when
[55:08] the results don't go your way in such important matches, you do
[55:12] have to get docked, yes, because at the end of the day, Real are
[55:15] advancing and you're not. So you're Champions League run
[55:18] ends here and. That was a long sentence really.
[55:20] Just say scoreboard. But it is.
[55:22] It is reflected. It has to.
[55:23] Be and correction, they they lost against Gitaf and all the
[55:26] guys Gitaf. So just it's important games in
[55:29] a title race with Real Madrid and Barcelona that was.
[55:31] Part of the last ball showing up with 9 center mids.
[55:35] I hate Gaddafi, I hate them. They did be technically delete
[55:38] Real Madrid and came back. Crazy.
[55:41] In the second. Champions League.
[55:42] Yeah. Yeah, they did.
[55:43] But that Barcelona game. Yeah, they they lost the 20
[55:47] lead. 20 lead dropped the ball that could.
[55:49] Have helped them a lot in these power rankings for sure beating
[55:51] I. Was watching I'm like this.
[55:52] This changes a lot I think. This changes a couple of the
[55:55] positions of the power rankings, but maybe one or two.
[55:57] Of course, I came back. Yeah, pretty insane. 7th.
[56:01] I'll read the ballot, I'll see what you guys think of this, but
[56:04] I have Arsenal 7th. Yeah, that's I have Arsenal as
[56:07] well. See, that's just stupid.
[56:08] I have Bayern. I also have Bayern.
[56:09] That is a oh. My God, I think Arsenal and
[56:13] Bayern are very interchangeable, I'd say because.
[56:16] Not in my power ranking. Arsenal did have a good
[56:18] performance in in champions against PSV.
[56:20] Byron had an amazing performance against Leverkusen and Champions
[56:23] League. And then in the league, like
[56:25] they they all both lost points here and there.
[56:27] Like Arsenal, I think well, they tied with Man United.
[56:30] That wasn't a great performance. Beat Chelsea.
[56:33] They beat Chelsea this weekend. I I just I think, I think.
[56:37] Lost against West Ham. Like I look at this month and
[56:40] yes, it's like a bit of mixed results, so that doesn't help.
[56:44] But I also think that like they kind of played themselves out of
[56:47] like trying to keep up with Liverpool a little bit.
[56:50] Like that gap significantly widened over the course of time.
[56:54] So obviously it really doesn't help when you lose Saka still,
[56:57] like he's still out there. Marino's somehow scoring goals
[57:01] somehow, and I don't want to discount their their wins
[57:04] against PSV because I do think that's those were massive,
[57:06] massive wins. No other team was scoring seven
[57:09] goals. So definitely a massive win.
[57:11] But I'm looking at the other teams as well and I'm thinking
[57:15] they did a bit better. They did better.
[57:17] Better than winning by 9 goals over 2 legs.
[57:19] Yeah, that's that's great. But I'm not.
[57:21] I'm not using that as my only. Orion glorified DFP pole
[57:24] caliber. Definitely more important than
[57:26] winning by ten goals. I.
[57:28] Mean who's better PSV or liver cuisin?
[57:30] Liver cuisin, OK. To glorify DF people, they're
[57:34] playing, they're playing. All they've played up to this
[57:36] date is their their teams within their league.
[57:40] So, so Real Madrid is a glorified Copa del Rey because
[57:44] they're facing Athletico, and Leverkusen is literally the
[57:46] exact. Yeah, well, no Real Madrid and
[57:49] City in the playoff round, but yeah, sure, that's.
[57:50] Different wanker, wanker. That's different.
[57:52] But no, like my instant reaction to hearing Arsenal that low is
[57:56] like, that's crazy, but there's nothing else.
[57:59] To play with. No, they're they're around
[58:01] there, bro. No, they are around there for me
[58:03] too. They're around there, but like
[58:04] hearing that they're because it doesn't feel like it's been that
[58:07] negative of a month. But aside from the Chelsea game
[58:10] and the PSV blowouts, the the since the last power ranking
[58:13] hasn't been spectacular. Yeah, in West Ham, bad result.
[58:16] In West Ham, there's Man United, Man United draw, which should
[58:19] should be a winning, Yeah, but. I was I was speaking with a
[58:22] million and firms before this and I was selling them.
[58:27] Once Arsenal gets Saca back during the top three, like bro,
[58:31] right now, top three is right now bro, you do that and get
[58:33] Saca back in the Champions League ladder.
[58:35] Stages, yes. It's they're playing Real
[58:37] Madrid, so there you're gonna see like really the levels.
[58:40] I find that's. Very cool.
[58:40] Defensively Arsenal. Defensively Arsenal is in the
[58:43] top three best teams in the world.
[58:44] Defensively, sure bro, you like offensively you can shit on it
[58:47] all you want with a Martinelli. Sterling Marino.
[58:51] Well, no, not sterling. That was just that, that
[58:53] crosshard. It's crosshard but still bro
[58:55] like the defensive and the midfield is has been.
[58:58] Rolling Did you see Olayina speak about playing Arsenal and
[59:02] Liverpool and Man City? He basically said, like
[59:05] Liverpool it's it's so difficult to play them because like within
[59:10] three passes they're already at your box and like next thing you
[59:12] know it, the ball's in the net and they run so much so it's
[59:16] like it's hard to keep up with them, he said.
[59:18] Arsenal there, it looks like they're doing nothing.
[59:21] They're just passing around you rotating every two seconds, but
[59:24] then you're like, oh shit, that guy's wide open, That guy's wide
[59:27] open, that guy's wide open and it opens up the entire game.
[59:29] It's so that he said it's so difficult to play against
[59:31] Arsenal. He said, I think, I'm not sure,
[59:33] don't quote me on this, but I think he said Arsenal is the
[59:34] most difficult team to play against.
[59:36] And then he said playing Man City, he said, he said like it's
[59:39] actually pretty easy because everything's in front of you and
[59:41] everything. It's literally what the squad
[59:43] building. Like I said, everything's just
[59:45] in front of you. There's no like there's no
[59:48] urgency to do anything. It's literally just they pass
[59:51] the ball back and forth, they keep their shape and nothing
[59:54] happens. Yeah, yeah.
[59:55] And it's crazy to say because Man City has like players that
[59:58] could play between the lines and they don't force that play
[1:00:00] often. I don't know, can they?
[1:00:01] They really can't like. Marmouche you know, like, I feel
[1:00:05] like these are players that fold in, like fold in one of the
[1:00:07] best. Should be able to exactly, but
[1:00:09] he isn't currently. So yeah, Allen can't really
[1:00:12] play. No, I don't know, bro.
[1:00:14] It's like it kind of I don't know.
[1:00:15] I don't want to say it's making sense.
[1:00:17] The Man City, we haven't been talking about them a lot, but I
[1:00:19] I like it almost makes sense like the squad building, why
[1:00:22] they're not why they're struggling at this point.
[1:00:24] But I can see them. I can see that I'm on time the
[1:00:27] next next. Next.
[1:00:28] Like this year feels a lot different.
[1:00:30] Like this year feels a lot more grim.
[1:00:32] Significantly grim, yeah. So grim that would like when you
[1:00:36] know your club's grim when we're not talking about, we're not
[1:00:38] talking about your club not even cheating on them.
[1:00:41] It's true. It's gone South.
[1:00:42] Well, six. I have Arsenal.
[1:00:44] I also have Arsenal at six. I changed the middle of this
[1:00:47] video. 6 I have Byron, So Byron, as I said, interchangeable
[1:00:51] between Arsenal. What you're saying higher?
[1:00:53] This guy's gonna have them like third or some shit.
[1:00:55] Byron, I have Liverpool 6. Just keep it like that.
[1:00:58] I don't like. Knocked out of the Champions
[1:01:01] League. Lose the Lose a Cup final to
[1:01:04] Newcastle. You're putting a lot of
[1:01:05] importance. On, as I said, I put a lot of
[1:01:07] importance on the important. Game that's not crazy.
[1:01:09] When you're not showing up to the important games.
[1:01:11] They were one week ago, they they had the possibility of a
[1:01:14] quadruple. Yeah, of a quadruple.
[1:01:16] And if you told me Liverpool wins a quadruple, I wouldn't
[1:01:18] believe. It but it really it's
[1:01:20] significantly it significantly the decreases me.
[1:01:24] Getting lost on pens, yes. And, and they had the
[1:01:27] opportunity. They had 120 minutes, they had
[1:01:29] 120 minutes, they had 180 minutes plus to to win those
[1:01:35] games and they didn't. You can't deny that.
[1:01:37] They had Mohamed salad that didn't really do much.
[1:01:40] So when we get to PSG we have to include A1 nil loss to
[1:01:43] Liverpool. Yeah, but we we saw the
[1:01:45] performance. We know like you.
[1:01:46] Need to factor in like you can't.
[1:01:48] That's what I was saying. Liverpool you can just look at
[1:01:50] scoreboard we've watched. The game that's just pure,
[1:01:52] that's just trying to raise your blindness to it.
[1:01:55] Like if you're gonna do scoreboards then this is very
[1:01:57] easy, but if you're gonna add context and performances.
[1:02:00] We all watch the game, Barbara. Don't act, don't don't play the
[1:02:03] innocent gimmick. We watch the game.
[1:02:04] They got dominated for 90 minutes.
[1:02:06] But they lost OK if, if. OK, moving on, moving on.
[1:02:09] But no, no, we're not supporting that.
[1:02:11] We're not supporting. You would have done that to
[1:02:12] let's say of a Lil, let's say in the league and lost one nil.
[1:02:15] We would have been here like, oh they lost a Lil one nil.
[1:02:18] Even though they dominated. No one cares that they
[1:02:20] dominated. They lost.
[1:02:21] Yeah, but this was the the Champions League marquee game
[1:02:24] against the Premier League's. Best the whole world saw you got
[1:02:27] fucking dicked. And unfortunately Liverpool
[1:02:29] right now, they are 15 points up in the Premier League and that
[1:02:33] is the only competition that they're in right now.
[1:02:35] I don't think I'll see a full strength, high intensity
[1:02:38] Liverpool for the rest of the. Season and then.
[1:02:40] You get knocked out of Champions League and your whole motivation
[1:02:44] is I already have the Premier League in the bag, let me beat
[1:02:47] Newcastle and they go and shit the bag at.
[1:02:49] Least it's a double. They didn't even show up to that
[1:02:51] game. But.
[1:02:52] Exactly the problem. You have nothing else to show up
[1:02:55] for the rest of the season. You can't get your guys
[1:02:56] motivated for one last. A record a potentially record
[1:03:00] amount of points they could get high for.
[1:03:01] It well, I don't give a fuck about the record.
[1:03:04] It's literally just a Premier League trophy.
[1:03:05] You win it by one point, you win it by 15 points.
[1:03:08] You won the trophy. I do not care.
[1:03:10] You look a lot better when you have a double.
[1:03:12] Yeah, you look a lot. Better.
[1:03:13] A lot better. It's I don't see it as like a
[1:03:16] completely like. I I think I think there's a
[1:03:19] scenario where if if the debate, if the if the the.
[1:03:23] Guys underrate winning the Premier League.
[1:03:24] How much of A? How much of A?
[1:03:26] Feat, I know, but they understand that they've already
[1:03:27] secured the Premier League, yes? Yeah.
[1:03:29] So. You had you had any, every
[1:03:32] they're. Being hurt for winning the
[1:03:33] league title, No. No, no, no.
[1:03:35] They've already secured the Premier League.
[1:03:36] So like this, this important match versus Newcastle.
[1:03:39] You should have put all your. You should have put.
[1:03:41] All your guns out like they. Didn't they started Kwanzaa
[1:03:43] right back? But exactly you, you have the
[1:03:46] opportunity. You don't have to worry about Oh
[1:03:48] my God, next week without. My yesterday McAllister of DI
[1:03:51] started Bro I think the whole might.
[1:03:54] Have listen, I didn't watch the game, but you were telling me
[1:03:56] that Newcastle dominated Yeah, so performance as.
[1:03:59] Well, that's not a top five team at in this current state and
[1:04:02] they were no first. Well, listen.
[1:04:03] OK, Barbara, they started the whole team.
[1:04:05] Bro stop. Bro performance wise.
[1:04:06] Start out right back though. Pretty sure Trent was injured.
[1:04:09] And he had a he had a decent second leg.
[1:04:10] Against Trent, got an ankle injury, he can play.
[1:04:14] Bro. Huh, I know, but that's not
[1:04:15] their full strength team. Trance a pretty big fucking
[1:04:18] miss. The best player in this?
[1:04:19] Position. So power rankings I'm not
[1:04:21] allowed to take into account things outside of injury?
[1:04:23] Like what? Like literally you just said if
[1:04:25] Arsenal had soccer they'd be in the top.
[1:04:26] Three, yeah, but I can't take, I can't dock Liverpool marks for a
[1:04:30] trend injury. I just, I just think that in the
[1:04:32] biggest games of the season right now, they did not perform
[1:04:36] up to their standard that they've been doing all season.
[1:04:38] And unfortunately I'm reflecting that in my power rankings.
[1:04:41] Fuck it. Fair.
[1:04:42] I'm changing Arsenal. Arsenal is now above Liverpool.
[1:04:46] Arsenal is now above Liverpool despite being 15 points back in.
[1:04:49] It's not. Millie has Millie has convinced
[1:04:51] me. I changed this mid mid podcast
[1:04:53] and I re changed it back to my original 1.
[1:04:55] That's one of the stupidest things I've ever.
[1:04:57] Liverpool is now 6th. I I'm not taking away they want
[1:05:00] brother, they're winning the Premier League by 15.
[1:05:01] That's a blessing, yes. If anything, Liverpool fans
[1:05:04] should be ecstatic that they're winning by 15 points.
[1:05:06] But if I was, if Inter were in a position of 15 points, I'd
[1:05:08] expect them to play their starting team week in, week out.
[1:05:11] Or at least, at least it's. Not even that.
[1:05:13] Like quality wise, we all know Liverpool is the best what, top
[1:05:16] three teams in the world? But that doesn't put them in top
[1:05:19] three power rankings because in this month they've lost two of
[1:05:21] the most important games, PSG and Newcastle.
[1:05:24] I think it's very fairly. Who do you have?
[1:05:27] Putting them under Arsenals like his whatever.
[1:05:31] Putting them under Arsenal? Insanity.
[1:05:34] So. You're cooking with Michael
[1:05:36] Marino at striker and you're telling me Saka's coming back?
[1:05:38] You're lucky I only put them at 5th, but that's you're talking
[1:05:40] about hypotheticals in the future.
[1:05:42] The power Osaka's coming back. OK, let's put Arsenal third.
[1:05:45] But there's no they're still currently they were they beat,
[1:05:48] they beat a Chelsea like those are they tied to United?
[1:05:51] They lost to West Ham. I take the whole month into
[1:05:54] account. They won nine, they won by nine
[1:05:56] goals and I had been a Champions League round the 16 against PSV.
[1:05:59] The face, what's in front of you?
[1:06:00] Club Brugge, though. Conversations.
[1:06:03] Exactly who's at your 6, Barbara?
[1:06:05] Club Brugge, Ashton Villa Be. Club Brugge is your 6.
[1:06:07] No, I said Arsenal 6, Arsenal, Liverpool 5.
[1:06:12] That's you guys know my Yeah. I put, I put Liverpool. 5th
[1:06:15] Liverpool 5 Who's your 6th? 6 was Bayern Bayern.
[1:06:18] Where's your Bayern? I put 7.
[1:06:22] Fine, that's a low. High.
[1:06:23] It's modern 7776. You're just high.
[1:06:26] Yeah, I, I have it high, but in my 5I have Real Madrid.
[1:06:32] Sorry, I mean, sorry, sorry Madridistas, you're looking at
[1:06:37] me as if my list my fucking outlandish.
[1:06:39] But brother Real Madrid, you, I, as I said, they they did not
[1:06:42] look convincing against Atletico Madrid in the in La Liga,
[1:06:45] they're not winning games dominantly at all.
[1:06:48] It's his first go around with Real Madrid.
[1:06:51] OK, yes, they end up winning at the end.
[1:06:53] I get it, I'm not a fucking idiot, OK?
[1:06:56] But Jesus, you watch a fucking Real Madrid game once in a while
[1:07:00] and you tell me that's one of the best teams in the world?
[1:07:02] No, they just get fucking lucky and end up winning on penalties.
[1:07:05] But after because Julian Alvarez had to kick it twice.
[1:07:09] So. But why is it always them?
[1:07:11] Bro what? Do you mean why is it always
[1:07:12] them? Why is it always Real Madrid?
[1:07:14] Or it gets lucky. Because I'm watching it with my
[1:07:18] own two eyes and yeah, I didn't see another team in this round
[1:07:21] of 16 make it through because one player kicked the ball twice
[1:07:24] in a penalty shootout. I didn't see that happen to any
[1:07:27] other team. Scoreboard.
[1:07:29] Yeah, scoreboard, sure, it's fine.
[1:07:31] But are they first in La Liga? No, right now, yeah.
[1:07:33] Barcelona is. They might have gone over in
[1:07:35] goal difference. Yeah, Scoreboard, bro.
[1:07:38] Scoreboard unfortunately, I actually I actually do believe
[1:07:42] Real Madrid got better this month though.
[1:07:44] It's just yes, there there's been bad results like against
[1:07:46] Rob Betty's like he said in in the Champions League was really
[1:07:50] a 5050, but in the end, like. I wouldn't.
[1:07:52] The result 5050 bro. You think I'd let it go?
[1:07:54] Play better. Bro, I think in the in the
[1:07:56] second leg, you saw Real Madrid get suffocated.
[1:08:00] Yeah, there was scary struggle and Bape and Bape, aside from
[1:08:03] that singular, singular moment of that, you know, when he did
[1:08:06] the two moves and drew the penalty.
[1:08:07] Aside from that, and they locked up in Bape, they kept Vinicius
[1:08:11] Junior, took some could say a ghost session to his standards.
[1:08:15] Rodrigo silent like they suffered.
[1:08:18] Athletico Madrid do in the first leg.
[1:08:20] OK, but what did Real Madrid do in the second game?
[1:08:22] What did Real Madrid do in the second?
[1:08:25] Leg I'm asking what did like you're talking about Real Madrid
[1:08:27] doing nothing in the second leg. What did Athletico Madrid do in
[1:08:30] the first leg? Yeah, they scored a wonder goal.
[1:08:33] They competed though. That's all they did all day.
[1:08:35] It was. Two wonder goals.
[1:08:36] Real Madrid scored a wonder goal as well.
[1:08:37] Yeah, but they scored two goals. Wonder goals.
[1:08:40] OK but forget the technicalities, we watched the
[1:08:42] game once again. Context bro, that was a 5050
[1:08:44] game. If Athletico Madrid can can keep
[1:08:48] you to that like 5050 coin flip over 2 legs.
[1:08:51] You've dropped a level bro. You have Mbapa, you have
[1:08:53] Vinicious Rodrigo, you have all these talents with Ancelotti
[1:08:56] Proven, and you're getting suffocated by a Simeone's
[1:09:00] Athletico. And let's not forget this
[1:09:03] weekend you're seeing Real Madrid players on their knees
[1:09:05] gasping for air because Angelotti doesn't know how to do
[1:09:07] a rotation apparently. So these players are are gassed
[1:09:11] out of their minds. But I mean, sure, you want to
[1:09:13] put them in the top three? It's up to you, bro.
[1:09:14] It's your list. Top three who?
[1:09:17] I don't know. Varva might have put them top
[1:09:18] three. Put them 4th so I.
[1:09:20] Don't. Did everybody say 5th?
[1:09:22] I said my 5th it. Was Liverpool Liverpool?
[1:09:25] You said Arsenal. I said Arsenal, Liverpool,
[1:09:26] Liverpool. Real.
[1:09:28] Real and my four. Like Varva, I have real.
[1:09:31] And I have real as well. Before I have Bayern so.
[1:09:34] That's like, that's like. If you it might be a what?
[1:09:36] What makes you put Bayern over Real?
[1:09:39] Well, right now in Champions League they are the more
[1:09:42] convincing side right now. If you have to play them one of
[1:09:45] the teams. Tomorrow, who would you rather
[1:09:47] face? Well, I'm facing Bayern so.
[1:09:48] Who would you? Rather stop facing Bayern.
[1:09:51] This guy is the most like, yeah. Because Manchester United is
[1:09:54] actually the strongest team in the Premier League and you're
[1:09:55] telling me I don't answer? Questions guy doesn't answer.
[1:09:57] Manchester United is the strongest team in the Premier
[1:09:59] League. You want to say Liverpool?
[1:10:00] Yeah, sure. Truly would.
[1:10:02] You play that game. Would you rather put the block
[1:10:03] on you? Play that game.
[1:10:04] Would you rather face? Well, I hope the face Real
[1:10:06] Madrid in the Champions League final, bro, I hope to face them
[1:10:09] in the Champions League. But exactly that means that
[1:10:11] Inter makes it to the. Party goes like this 3/3.
[1:10:14] We're in three competitions. Three competition.
[1:10:16] Yeah, so, but no, that the head to head is a bad thing for Real
[1:10:20] Madrid because the head to head in champions and you'll always
[1:10:22] choose. I want to play anyone but Real
[1:10:24] Madrid. Yes, but like once again, like
[1:10:27] we, we, we saw the results of those matches.
[1:10:29] I mean, and even Real Madrid in the league, like it's not like
[1:10:32] it's it's not like it's absolutely spectacular.
[1:10:35] So. Exactly.
[1:10:35] And honestly, Byron Byron feels like like those two Champions
[1:10:39] League legs. It really seemed like they were
[1:10:41] clicking very, very well. And I think company is doing a
[1:10:44] decent job so far. I think there was a lot of
[1:10:45] doubts, but this month. Oh, I we all had doubts of
[1:10:48] company in the Champions League, like, yeah, can he still show
[1:10:51] the Bayern powerhouse that we all know?
[1:10:53] But he did it. And you know what the, I think
[1:10:55] you could bring up the the fact that they lost, who'd they lose
[1:10:58] right after the first leg, but they lost the Bundesliga match
[1:11:01] and then they tied Union Berlin after the second leg.
[1:11:03] Boca, Yeah, Boca. But, but that was the week.
[1:11:06] That was the week where a bunch of Champions League teams ended
[1:11:08] up losing right after the Champions League as well.
[1:11:10] I know, but. It's not it's it's, it's
[1:11:12] something that happened. Frankfurt, Norman, Leverkusen,
[1:11:15] Bayern. I think all four of them drop
[1:11:17] points. Yeah, but to me, like Real
[1:11:19] Madrid has had a better month than Bayern, like head to head,
[1:11:23] like the fact that Barn lost to Bokem tied with Union Berlin.
[1:11:26] Yeah, listen, they they did good in Champions League, they
[1:11:28] destroyed Leverkusen, but Real Madrid ultimately like beat.
[1:11:32] We're talking about small. It's really like.
[1:11:34] Yeah, I think bro, I could. I could see me.
[1:11:36] I could see the reasoning to switch like put real at the four
[1:11:39] barn number. Five, but you beat the first
[1:11:41] leg. I know the second leg you're
[1:11:42] already up 30 on aggregate. So different you're you're
[1:11:44] playing versus a team that has nothing to lose.
[1:11:46] But 30 versus Leverkusen in the first leg that's like massive
[1:11:50] very good after you after after you stalemate drew them 00 where
[1:11:54] Leverkusen dominated and Verts was gone in the second leg.
[1:11:57] I'm just looking at the first leg, like he was there and you
[1:12:00] completely shut down Verts to the point where you got like,
[1:12:02] yeah. And Leverkusen was a top eight
[1:12:03] side in the Champions League this season, so definitely,
[1:12:06] definitely a statement win. This might be the week we found
[1:12:09] things that we find things to the debate, but this might be
[1:12:11] one of the closest. All of our power ratings are
[1:12:14] like there's little batches of three from like 7:50, whatever,
[1:12:17] 8 to 6-7 to five, where we're like, we're just interchanging
[1:12:19] the same team. Yeah, it's almost like the
[1:12:21] they're all merging. It's cuz ultimately Champions
[1:12:23] League is is like the barometer. At one point cream rises to the
[1:12:26] top. That's what I'm saying.
[1:12:27] Especially now. Yeah, especially now at.
[1:12:29] The beginning of the season when no one's playing, no one.
[1:12:32] It's so ambiguous, you know, like what's a win versus Laganes
[1:12:35] versus a win versus Venezia? Like yeah, exactly.
[1:12:38] Where are the? Where are the margins?
[1:12:39] So 4th we had Real Madrid, Real Madrid, Real Madrid, Byron.
[1:12:44] We're into the top three, gentlemen.
[1:12:46] Into the three I'm gonna start it off.
[1:12:47] I have inter in my. Venture as well, Inter, yeah, I
[1:12:52] think dominance. I just switched it to switch.
[1:12:56] It to the three. I thought you were debating
[1:12:58] Inter no? No, I think, I think threes, I
[1:13:00] don't think they deserve to be in the top two conversation.
[1:13:03] No, I do think that we're inter their level right now is is
[1:13:07] 3:00. We we did what we needed to do
[1:13:09] against Fire Nord. We're winning in city.
[1:13:11] We're first in city out by I think 2 points so.
[1:13:14] Next power ranking is going to be so much fun when they lose
[1:13:16] the bar and I'm going to put them fucking 910 conversations
[1:13:19] maybe off the list this is going to be.
[1:13:22] Depends on their performance. Going to be absolute fucking
[1:13:24] cinema, absolute cinema and you're going to be sitting there
[1:13:28] trying to justify after ripping Liverpool for being head of the
[1:13:31] league, you're going to sit there and try and justify, bro,
[1:13:33] we're top of City out. We came up against Bayern and
[1:13:36] you're going to. It's going to be so funny.
[1:13:37] So now this is where we. When I put enter like.
[1:13:40] This is where we. Enter might not even make it on
[1:13:42] the they might have to be a Patreon exclusive.
[1:13:45] Yeah. So.
[1:13:45] Check it out we. Might have to do the 11 to 15 on
[1:13:48] Patreon just so we can include enter in a conversation.
[1:13:51] Like that thinking, bro, I like that thinking.
[1:13:55] I'm not doing anything, that's cool.
[1:13:56] What? Were you saying?
[1:13:58] Content king over here, but honestly?
[1:14:02] Oh, your rewind? You didn't.
[1:14:03] Want yeah, the rewind. Rewind.
[1:14:04] The Rewind Barbara did say that losing to Byron is like an
[1:14:08] honorable loss. So that's an acceptable loss.
[1:14:10] I'm not going to make fun of city as a whole.
[1:14:11] If used to Byron, that's an acceptable loss.
[1:14:13] But you But you just said you would drop them into the depths
[1:14:15] of hell. You literally just made fun of
[1:14:17] that shit. Exactly.
[1:14:18] So you just wanted? To make sure you have multiple
[1:14:21] person personality disorder. No, because within two sentences
[1:14:25] you just said 2 completely contrasting things about beating
[1:14:29] losing the Losing the Byron is respectable, but if you lose the
[1:14:32] Byron I will drop you into the depths of hell.
[1:14:34] Yeah. Well, listen, now we're at the
[1:14:36] margins, so I won't be upset if you put enter in the.
[1:14:41] You guys all agreed enter three. I didn't say enter.
[1:14:43] So either none of my power rankings or this.
[1:14:45] I mean, you're putting them higher than me.
[1:14:47] It's kind of crazy work. But who's who's at your number
[1:14:49] three? I'll.
[1:14:49] Talk about enter. Enter are my number two.
[1:14:51] I won't say my #3 yet, but bro, enter is a team where they're
[1:14:55] gaining this inevitability that every time we start thinking
[1:14:58] enter might be shaky, enter might be this all.
[1:15:00] They don't have to do that to unlock Inzagi.
[1:15:02] Just woo woo. Yeah, and they're back to being
[1:15:05] a stable, good team. Bro, they had absolutely 00.
[1:15:10] What do? What do you call it when the
[1:15:11] shake gets this? We're not shaky in the Champions
[1:15:13] League. In Seria, they got a firm grasp
[1:15:15] on the on the Scudetto. We locked in.
[1:15:18] We locked in you. Just bro he just he literally
[1:15:20] sat in the front of his chair. Inzagi went in the game Remote.
[1:15:23] This is this is what they call in the streets, a jinx.
[1:15:25] OK, so this is this is this is what they mean?
[1:15:28] We're just talking. We're talking about.
[1:15:30] We're talking about the last. Month you've been this one I
[1:15:31] can't jinx into. It, I think this is being
[1:15:33] unbiased, Varvar, something that you should learn a little bit.
[1:15:36] I am unbiased. Oh yeah, yeah.
[1:15:38] And what? Do you think you haven't?
[1:15:41] Heard the patron exclusive to put in You haven't heard
[1:15:43] Barcelona yet? But what it?
[1:15:45] I mean, what am I supposed to be surprised?
[1:15:47] Undefeated in the past like 10 games?
[1:15:49] Some. I mean, let's go straight into.
[1:15:52] Let's get just. #2 I'm in semi 3.
[1:15:54] Oh yeah, OK who's your 3? The team that you guys probably
[1:15:56] have a 2 or one, I have Paris Saint Germain.
[1:15:59] At the three OK, well I I do definitely think that I would be
[1:16:03] scared as an Inter fan to face PSG.
[1:16:05] Yeah, like what makes you put Let's talk?
[1:16:06] About PSG, Let's talk about PSG before we talk about our cuz.
[1:16:10] Then once you give your tool, you give your one.
[1:16:11] Yeah. So let's let's withhold from
[1:16:13] that. Let's talk about PSG just as me
[1:16:15] being putting them at the three spot.
[1:16:18] Why under enter? Because everyone seems to forget
[1:16:22] the start the PSG season, the the the Champions League's
[1:16:25] troubles, the losing to the Arsenal's.
[1:16:28] Nobody had PSG in their sights at the beginning of the for for
[1:16:32] the good majority of the season. Nobody had.
[1:16:34] And now all of a sudden I understand the Cavada.
[1:16:36] I'm still putting them in my they're they're very close to
[1:16:39] Inter, but Inter enter been that guy enter.
[1:16:43] Context to that beginning of the season, though, their first
[1:16:46] couple months without Mbappe and the team, it takes a a bit of
[1:16:49] like. Oh, but Hamilton has to win the
[1:16:50] 1st. I stopped myself because we
[1:16:56] can't start paralleling. No, no sports person listen.
[1:17:00] Listen, listen, listen. Hamilton, let me.
[1:17:05] Stop. What's that?
[1:17:09] I knew that she was a banger before it came out of my mom
[1:17:11] let. Me, Let me think how I can get
[1:17:12] myself out of this one. But it's not a fucking UN debate
[1:17:16] bro. It's like.
[1:17:17] Let's formulate some notes here. Bob Yeah, give me, give me a
[1:17:19] second. OK, so Hamilton, what I said,
[1:17:23] What the fuck did I say by that? You.
[1:17:25] Had to win right away. Yeah, exactly.
[1:17:28] Watch. He called him more.
[1:17:29] Finished 9th in his first race. So and Bape goes to Real Madrid.
[1:17:33] He had a tough, He had a tough start to the season, no.
[1:17:36] OK, Yeah, Yeah, you got. This go ahead, go ahead.
[1:17:40] So Hamilton and Bape, meanwhile, Mercedes today, they weren't the
[1:17:47] Mercedes that we knew back then, no.
[1:17:50] No. The dominant Mercedes.
[1:17:52] But Mercedes finished third and 4th in this race.
[1:17:55] Yeah. Not first though.
[1:17:57] Scoreboard. Conversations scoreboard with
[1:17:59] Hamilton, where do they go? I don't look at 123456, I look
[1:18:03] at. Look at voice and about.
[1:18:05] I look at voice. Shit, we've come full circle.
[1:18:08] Like good. Shit, we've come full.
[1:18:10] Circle that's crazy work crazy crazy work but definitely PSG at
[1:18:17] the three my goodness I I I'm very scared to face them.
[1:18:21] I think that's one of the best you're.
[1:18:22] Not facing them? Don't worry.
[1:18:23] You don't need to worry about that Big Bang.
[1:18:27] I don't got through either bro I.
[1:18:29] Don't got through it in the same ball.
[1:18:31] We're sitting on the same count. Yeah, but bro, PSGI can
[1:18:35] defensively like still defensively I have I have issues
[1:18:39] with PSG. The Marquinho's Badcho Badcho.
[1:18:42] Bro offensively, offensively is fucking spectacular, bro, but.
[1:18:46] No. I.
[1:18:47] Arguably the best left back and best right back in the world
[1:18:49] this season. Offensively, Luno, Mendez,
[1:18:52] defensively, I won't give him his flowers.
[1:18:53] Defensively, he's been a beast. I keep he's.
[1:18:55] Been in. Pretty good defensively this
[1:18:56] season 2. He's been all right, yeah.
[1:18:59] Yeah, I I think PSG has one of the best team, obviously.
[1:19:01] But best teams that most I think attacking.
[1:19:04] Wise they might have the second best attack like midfield,
[1:19:07] midfield, midfield, amazing Vitinia draw, Nevez, even Fabio
[1:19:11] Ruiz, he's been good, probably top three.
[1:19:13] Did you guys see that Vitinia has like he's in in, I forget
[1:19:19] which that was, I think it was passes completed within a
[1:19:22] Champions League knockout stage record.
[1:19:24] I think he's already tied. He the only people with more
[1:19:29] than him I think are are Tony Cruz Bousquet in one single, one
[1:19:35] single game campaign. And no, not in the campaign, ACL
[1:19:39] knockout campaign. So he's played, what, four games
[1:19:41] so far in the CL knockouts? In those four games he's done.
[1:19:44] Asterix, though, because this is the first year of playoffs.
[1:19:47] Yes, but. No, we're considering playoffs.
[1:19:50] Not no, no. Yes, well, PSG played that's
[1:19:52] breast and what are you talking about?
[1:19:55] So within those four games versus breast and Liverpool,
[1:19:57] yeah, he completed as many like the only players were more
[1:20:01] passes than than him and within ACL knockout.
[1:20:04] Were Cruz and were. Cruz, Bousquet and one more,
[1:20:07] which was like a well, didn't we see a stat after the game up in
[1:20:10] the second leg? He completed like 150 something
[1:20:13] pass Yeah, like 96 percent, 96. Like yeah, accuracy insane.
[1:20:18] Insane. I think that's also Luis Enrique
[1:20:19] ball like he he has, he has the ball on his feet like.
[1:20:22] It's a using Portuguese players to play Spanish, yes.
[1:20:25] Spanish tiki taka bro. I'm I'm watching Barcelona
[1:20:28] flopped out. Wolf, by the way.
[1:20:29] Who? Yeah.
[1:20:31] Little known fact. Was that wolves?
[1:20:34] Under whom? When?
[1:20:35] Under Yeah. Oh.
[1:20:38] My God, Well he's an unknown fact.
[1:20:39] You see Nuno spirit is whatever his name is.
[1:20:42] Counter attacking manager doesn't fit Vt makes.
[1:20:44] Sense he went where was where was Vt as a as a youth Academy
[1:20:49] player. Young.
[1:20:50] Good. I'm not sure if he was at portal
[1:20:51] because he went from Wolves to Portal, so I'm not sure if he
[1:20:55] went Porto, Wolves back to Porto.
[1:20:57] I'm going to look it up right now.
[1:20:58] You don't know this. But he basically went almost
[1:21:02] showing Man United to Vitini. I remember that.
[1:21:04] Porto B. But he was at Porto B, so he
[1:21:07] went from Porto to Wolves. I think he played like 15 games
[1:21:10] or something I remember. Him 22 games.
[1:21:12] I actually remember him I. Do not even remember him, I do.
[1:21:15] But I remember when he came on, I would think, oh, OK, this
[1:21:18] guy's fucking terrible. And then this just shows how
[1:21:21] little we know. But yeah, but then he goes back
[1:21:25] to. Portugal Yeah, Portuguese, no
[1:21:26] names playing for. What then he goes back to
[1:21:28] Portugal, is team of the season of Porto and gets a move?
[1:21:31] Yeah. That's a long.
[1:21:33] That was a player that when Man United were linked, I wanted him
[1:21:36] so bad, so bad. Insane, man.
[1:21:38] You can just two minutes of watching him and you're like,
[1:21:41] OK, this guy's special. Yeah, and John Nevis, two Yeah,
[1:21:44] insane performances. Yeah, it's Champions League.
[1:21:46] Performances and we haven't even mentioned like a ball and lore
[1:21:48] nominee from their team, like, you know, them, them ballet
[1:21:51] booze balling. I think this is stats wise, best
[1:21:53] season ever. Yeah, I almost certainly, yeah.
[1:21:56] Took a minute. And a guy like Barcola is like
[1:21:58] one of the last guys we mentioned, which is still a a
[1:22:00] spectacular. And I wouldn't, I don't know if
[1:22:02] I'd say world class, but it definitely.
[1:22:04] Class. Maybe this year, yeah, but he's.
[1:22:07] Definitely. There and imagine, OK, but
[1:22:09] imagine that being your third option.
[1:22:10] Winger that's crazy with Desiree Duy.
[1:22:12] And Duy comes on. Wow.
[1:22:13] And bro, Duy at the second leg came on and said, bro, this is
[1:22:16] an important game. I still don't care.
[1:22:18] I'm still doing your last your your.
[1:22:20] Bench scraps are going to long loan to see all teams like Aston
[1:22:23] Villa and like playing very well Mercencio.
[1:22:27] Not, but I, I don't know how we didn't see this, this squad
[1:22:30] building. It clicked, man.
[1:22:31] Everything just clicks. This is one of the the few teams
[1:22:34] in Europe where you're looking at each phase of the pitch.
[1:22:36] You're like that is. Top three.
[1:22:38] Top three. Top three.
[1:22:39] Exactly so, but we also. We also got to put into context
[1:22:42] that there's been years in the past where we said, oh, PSG are
[1:22:46] the best, PSG are the best, PSG are the best, and then they go
[1:22:48] into a seal knockout and they somehow lose with some random.
[1:22:50] I think defensively they've never been better midfield wise
[1:22:54] like debatable, but I it's. Never been better than the time
[1:22:56] than they had Fantiago Silva, David Louise and stuff like
[1:22:59] that. In big knockout games, they
[1:23:00] haven't been good in the past. I don't know bro.
[1:23:04] A lot of asterisks. But they were pulling up with
[1:23:07] they've. Definitely not had a better
[1:23:08] Mango Silva. Marquis with Levin Kurzawa the
[1:23:11] left back. The left back.
[1:23:12] Was that was that? Maxwell back in the day.
[1:23:15] Maxwell, Who's? It was the right was Maxwell,
[1:23:17] Tiago Silva, David Louise and the right back was Okie.
[1:23:23] I think this. Is Sergio.
[1:23:25] Before punch. Yeah, way before.
[1:23:28] Way before. Who's manager?
[1:23:29] It was. It was Laurent Blanc.
[1:23:32] Back they entered down by. They would get Man City in the
[1:23:34] Sea all every year. Yeah, I remember the Yeah.
[1:23:37] The man said We want to face Monaco.
[1:23:38] Yeah, I would be willing to say PSG would be competing with
[1:23:42] Liverpool this season for the Premier League title at this
[1:23:45] point in the season. 100%. The way they they built this
[1:23:47] team, the way that they play right now, I'm going to say that
[1:23:51] they might actually win the Premier League.
[1:23:53] That's not God, it's your rage. Mate, it's not rage mate bro,
[1:23:58] Bro that's crazy. It's definitely not rage.
[1:24:00] There is a point, as I said, they have a top three striking
[1:24:04] they. Have the best They'd have the
[1:24:05] best front three in the Premier League.
[1:24:07] Yes, yeah, that's what I do. They.
[1:24:10] Would have a top five midfield in the Premier League.
[1:24:12] Top debate Top three in the. World bro Milenkovich, you have
[1:24:16] a back line with Milenkovich, which is top four in the Premier
[1:24:18] League. Pacho and Martinos, why not?
[1:24:22] Why not them win the Premier League?
[1:24:24] The way that, the way that. Yeah.
[1:24:27] The way this PS team has been has been put together, man is
[1:24:29] absolutely fantastic. And without Mbappe 2 and they
[1:24:32] somehow are more balanced, yeah. I, I, they would finish, I would
[1:24:38] put, they'd be in between Liverpool and Arsenal, they'd be
[1:24:42] in between them. So a second.
[1:24:43] Yeah, they'd be second. So the team, so the team that
[1:24:45] beat them in the Champions League scoreboard, you'd put
[1:24:48] them above them. OK, so now listen, OK, I'll tell
[1:24:51] you. So you just worry about one
[1:24:53] competition, OK? Now I'll tell you how the league
[1:24:55] works, OK? There's no extra time.
[1:24:57] There's no extra time and penalties.
[1:24:59] OK, so Liverpool won one of the games, PSG won one of the games.
[1:25:05] So the points were separated, Millie separated.
[1:25:09] And then in the and the Champions League league phase,
[1:25:13] PSG got dominated by Arsenal. So let me so let me.
[1:25:16] So let's go back and see the record against Prem teams this
[1:25:20] year in the Champions League, because I believe it's actually
[1:25:23] 500 because they beat Man City. What are you scoreboard 5?
[1:25:26] 100, it's actually scoreboard 500.
[1:25:30] That's a term. You know what that means for me?
[1:25:32] No. So that's a North American term,
[1:25:35] I guess. 500 means that you went through, you lost two, you won
[1:25:39] three, you lost three. It's you're 50%.
[1:25:41] It's based on 1.0000 so it's like it's.
[1:25:43] Like a batting average when a team is 500.
[1:25:46] No, No batting averages. Yeah, it's the same.
[1:25:47] No one's hitting 500 batting. Yeah, no, that's not.
[1:25:50] It's batting average, 500 is more like when a team is 500,
[1:25:54] let's say in an 82 game season they went 41 and 41.
[1:25:57] Why? This is 500.
[1:25:58] Because that's the winning percentage.
[1:26:00] It's .5. So you see 500 OK, a North
[1:26:03] American slang. Regardless, PSG don't have a
[1:26:06] loss in their league so it shows that they they can control a
[1:26:09] domestic league while still doing well.
[1:26:11] I mean they're they're in Liger but still put that into the
[1:26:15] Premier League. Drop that consistent domestic
[1:26:17] form with the Champions League fixtures bro.
[1:26:20] I do not see why you can argue PSG wouldn't be competing for
[1:26:23] the domestic form. It's easy because you can play
[1:26:27] your scraps on the weekend. They don't.
[1:26:30] They have 73 goals scored in 26 matches.
[1:26:33] I don't care if that's the Portuguese league or the MLS.
[1:26:37] Bro, that is pure not a loss. They haven't skipped a beat and
[1:26:41] I said that they were bad at the beginning of the season.
[1:26:42] They're. Clearly they're getting a level
[1:26:44] above. Paulo was the main advocate of
[1:26:46] league aren't being like the worst league in history of
[1:26:48] mankind. I know, but and then now since
[1:26:50] PSG beats a Prem team, it's like, Oh my God, these guys are
[1:26:53] the second coming. I know, but you?
[1:26:56] You don't have a loss. To box to box you.
[1:26:57] Don't have a loss. You went faultless.
[1:26:59] You can say all you want about the other.
[1:27:01] Proving how easy Arsenal's invincible season was, by the
[1:27:03] way. Thank you, but that's a whole
[1:27:06] other conversation. That's crazy work.
[1:27:08] I don't know if. You don't want to talk about
[1:27:09] football, bro, You. Have an insane team, you can't
[1:27:12] deny it. They do have a crazy team but
[1:27:15] they would not be able to do this in the Premier League.
[1:27:18] I would believe the. Wolves, they beat.
[1:27:20] They they they I can be confident they would beat What's
[1:27:24] the mid table bro? The Manchester United the issue.
[1:27:26] Is that one? Yes, they would.
[1:27:28] They would beat Manchester United, they beat Chelsea.
[1:27:30] But the opportunity to slip up in League R is a lot like
[1:27:35] there's a lot less risk of slipping up.
[1:27:37] You can play your backup team. PS GS backup team compared to
[1:27:39] the average team in League R is still a super.
[1:27:42] Team, but they don't play their backup team.
[1:27:44] That's even more of an issue in the Premier League.
[1:27:46] You can't just play your top team every single week.
[1:27:48] So everything's an issue. It is.
[1:27:50] It's a it's a cakewalk. You're literally describing.
[1:27:53] The backup team is good, like they have good depth, yes.
[1:27:57] I don't. But if you pull up to Brighton
[1:27:59] with your whole backup team, you will still lose a whole.
[1:28:01] Backup team, yeah, I I don't see Liverpool pulling up every game
[1:28:04] to with their backup team. Because they can't.
[1:28:06] You can't. You can't and PSG don't.
[1:28:09] Like I don't need it bro, it just shows that.
[1:28:11] Minutes played. It's the.
[1:28:13] It's the, the. It's minutes running.
[1:28:16] What's this new stat that we came up with?
[1:28:18] No. It's, it's, it's running
[1:28:19] minutes, bro. It's, it's the same.
[1:28:21] If you're running 5 kilometers in France, you're running 5
[1:28:23] kilometers in. Yeah, but the issue right now is
[1:28:24] that is that you said PSGF 26 games you played PSGF 26 games
[1:28:30] played, right? The Premier League we are past
[1:28:33] 26. So how many are we at?
[1:28:35] You're about to see some bullshit. 29 K, so that's three
[1:28:38] extra games within this calendar.
[1:28:40] We had an extra cup competition too, so Carabao Cup.
[1:28:44] There's no such equivalent in France.
[1:28:46] Do you know the cups that are happening in Yes Coupe?
[1:28:48] De France Coupe de France, which is FA Cup.
[1:28:50] So it's such a terrible. And they have that glorified
[1:28:53] Community Shield. So basically we have they have
[1:28:56] Liverpool have a whole other competition to worry about,
[1:28:58] which is the care about. Well, clearly they don't worry
[1:29:00] about it because they play their scrub.
[1:29:01] They made it to the final tournament.
[1:29:03] OK. And they played make it anyways.
[1:29:05] Enjoy that super coupa. Oh my God, we've reached the
[1:29:09] depths of Green Rd. Crazy and then on top of that,
[1:29:13] they have three extra game played in the league.
[1:29:15] So your PSG schedule has been a lot more favorable.
[1:29:19] Certainly, but bro, I have PSG #1 so I don't even know what the
[1:29:22] number one yes bro, they they deserve to be #1 you took down
[1:29:26] the top dog. You deserve to be there.
[1:29:28] You are right now. Like if this is like Aww style
[1:29:31] or a UFC, they're they're. They're all lining.
[1:29:33] Up, bro. It's like a massive 18 card car
[1:29:36] crash, bro. What I have to I have to say
[1:29:38] what I have to say? It just clicked.
[1:29:40] It just bro, it just clicked. I know, bro, I know bro.
[1:29:42] His his agendas are starting to they're starting to merge, bro.
[1:29:46] It's like The Time Machine where the guy's ear becomes his eye
[1:29:48] and his eye becomes ear. I need a shit on bar.
[1:29:50] So so I got to put them second. I can't put them first because
[1:29:52] that would be fucked up. PSG needs to go one, but
[1:29:54] Liverpool needs to be the best team in the world because the
[1:29:57] Prem is the best league in the world.
[1:29:58] Bro, you're getting caught up. No, you're saying that you got
[1:30:02] leaning fights all fodder that PSGR should.
[1:30:05] Who cares where they finish, because they would never finish.
[1:30:07] So they always raise you. Can you let me?
[1:30:09] Can you let me explain? OK, so a.
[1:30:12] Lot of explaining to. Them in a UFC In a UFC, this is
[1:30:15] basically. Like in front of you in the US,
[1:30:17] so. In UFC talk about football, you
[1:30:20] know, because you have to make you have to put in terms that
[1:30:22] these Neanderthals will understand, OK.
[1:30:26] OK, you have some fire, fire, fire sports.
[1:30:29] Yeah, so UFC, there's someone, let's say number one spot on our
[1:30:33] power rankings is the belt. So you have the heavyweight
[1:30:36] belt, Alex Pereira is the best is the.
[1:30:40] The belt. OK, I got it.
[1:30:41] Belt. Belt.
[1:30:42] Alex Pereira is the best fighter in the world.
[1:30:44] OK, he lost to Ankali. Does that mean that Ankali is a
[1:30:47] better fighter than Pereira? No, but Pereira gets the belt.
[1:30:51] Pereira lost the belt. Pereira lost the belt.
[1:30:55] I'm on the Andrew's hole. You lost me at the.
[1:30:56] Belt OK, so the viewers who aren't stupid will understand.
[1:31:00] Hopefully there's some too complicated.
[1:31:02] For me and I, obviously I have PSG one and that means I have
[1:31:04] Barcelona too, so. Just gonna gloss over that it's
[1:31:08] OK, just. Just let it slide.
[1:31:10] Let it slide but at #2 I have pro.
[1:31:12] There is absolutely no argument for putting for not putting
[1:31:15] Barcelona one. Yeah, I try to find every single
[1:31:17] bro I love to shit I love to shit on.
[1:31:20] Barcie beating Liverpool, Barcelona beating Benfica.
[1:31:24] And Atlantico. 4/2. Athletico they were losing for.
[1:31:28] Their first and likely. Got the performance.
[1:31:30] Speak about the performance. Bro Barsa bro.
[1:31:32] Did you watch the game? Speak about the performance was
[1:31:35] good from Barcelona, down for 70 minutes in the game.
[1:31:37] Am I wrong or Barsa won their last?
[1:31:39] Games end at 70 minutes. What?
[1:31:42] Crazy work. Crazy, crazy work.
[1:31:44] What are we talking about? Let me.
[1:31:44] Check Barsa's form. Insane they haven't lost in like
[1:31:47] 10 games undefeated. Varvar Varvar sums.
[1:31:50] Bro I brought them up. What the fuck you want?
[1:31:53] PSG just beat Liverpool bro why am I?
[1:31:55] Defending bars. PSG have not done more to prove
[1:31:58] that they are the number one spot then Barsa bro they have.
[1:32:01] They're bi bro they're close. You're bi, they're close.
[1:32:03] They're you're fucking bias bro. They're not close.
[1:32:05] I'm not getting rage baited with Barcelona bro.
[1:32:07] Barsa is the clear one this week.
[1:32:08] Clear clear one I would love to put.
[1:32:10] I'd find any reason in the world to put them too.
[1:32:12] They are #1 this week and I hope PSG.
[1:32:15] Have not lost all season practically other than Arsenal.
[1:32:18] OK, but I guess, but this is where you say that that that run
[1:32:21] doesn't is meant less because it's not the Premier League,
[1:32:24] yes, but Barcelona but. Barcelona in LA.
[1:32:26] Liga, which is also once again you once again stop, stop, stop,
[1:32:31] stop. OK, buy yourself some time once
[1:32:32] you say once again. No one more time once again.
[1:32:34] Premier League all the other top five leagues.
[1:32:38] So La Liga is a lot closer to lead earn than it is to the
[1:32:42] Premier League. The gap between the Premier
[1:32:44] League and every other league is.
[1:32:46] That's such a generalization. It's not a generalization.
[1:32:49] Barcelona and Champions League against Ben Figo was great.
[1:32:52] There's three good fucking teams in La Liga.
[1:32:54] There's 17 in the Prem. Good teams.
[1:32:58] There's three teams, everything that do with that, do well
[1:33:01] every. Year.
[1:33:02] Every. Every.
[1:33:02] Year they're all dog shit. Man United beat Real Sociedad
[1:33:06] bro. So man.
[1:33:07] United, the worst team I've watched in my life, the worst
[1:33:09] Man United I've watched in my life was 13.
[1:33:11] Why are you bringing up destroyed?
[1:33:13] Real Sociedad. Cameron's building a project
[1:33:15] that. Zubi Mendi looked like absolute
[1:33:17] dog pissed. Meanwhile, this guy's a
[1:33:19] superstar player in La Liga. That's superstar.
[1:33:22] Player, Oh my Lord. Yeah, Zubi Mendi's a superstar
[1:33:26] midfield. Signing.
[1:33:26] That's the latest singular player for your debate topic.
[1:33:29] Anthony joined your league. I'm not.
[1:33:31] Even saying your league, my league, Anthony joined Real
[1:33:33] Betis and is now the second like a global superstar for that
[1:33:37] league. I can't take your league
[1:33:39] serious. I don't know.
[1:33:40] Barbara's losing it today. I don't.
[1:33:41] Know I didn't. I didn't realize the league
[1:33:42] Leaguer had like a Real Madrid in Athletico.
[1:33:45] In their PSG, which is close to like a Barcelona in Athletico.
[1:33:49] Space PSG, You get what I mean? Sure like PSG doesn't don't PSG
[1:33:54] 1 doesn't face. PSG, Millie, I'm afraid our
[1:33:56] lists are very similar. I have Barsa first and PSG
[1:33:59] second as shockingly similar. Who do you have?
[1:34:00] Third enter? We have 4th Byron.
[1:34:04] That's where we get Thank God for DB.
[1:34:06] And then fifth, Liverpool 5th. Real.
[1:34:08] OK, thank God it's not that similar.
[1:34:09] Yeah, but it's around there though.
[1:34:11] Barsa. Barsa, 100%.
[1:34:12] Barsa was the first team on my list as the number one first
[1:34:15] team. They've done nothing to tell me
[1:34:17] otherwise. Yeah, they are the most most
[1:34:19] informed team in the world. Rafina currently, in my honest
[1:34:23] opinion is runner, is leading the race for the Balon.
[1:34:28] Yeah, right now. Right now in this current.
[1:34:30] Rafina is Balon. Moment of recording.
[1:34:33] He's the runner, he's leading the race for the Balandor.
[1:34:36] Bro Barsa have not lost the game in 18 matches.
[1:34:39] Insane. But you have to go back.
[1:34:41] How many wins do they have? December 21st.
[1:34:43] How many how many wins do they have in the last?
[1:34:44] You tell me they. Haven't lost in 2024.
[1:34:46] Have. They have they lost this month.
[1:34:47] No. What's the month start?
[1:34:49] Feb 11th or Feb 12? They haven't.
[1:34:51] They haven't lost. Have they won all the and?
[1:34:52] Even in Copa they remember. They drew.
[1:34:54] They drew one game to Athletico. Every other game was a win.
[1:34:57] Every. Other game was a win, his
[1:34:58] dominant wins. 123456 66 match, six wins bro.
[1:35:03] PSGPSG are levels above anyone in the league and that's not.
[1:35:07] AGI think are in that conversation, but they're
[1:35:09] second. Yeah, those are big.
[1:35:11] Wins. I think it's far bro far from
[1:35:13] Barsa. Far from Barsa.
[1:35:15] Far from Barsa. Debate.
[1:35:16] This is the biggest one in them all.
[1:35:17] But even this. Yeah, but that's that's not a
[1:35:20] debate I definitely think Barcelona deserve.
[1:35:23] Yeah, they deserve the one spot. Deserve the one spot this.
[1:35:25] I'm more scared of going to play Barcelona tomorrow than PSG.
[1:35:30] Not like, not equally sane. Equally scared, right?
[1:35:33] Yeah, equally scared, but I I think right now.
[1:35:35] Barcelona. No, merely Barcelona in in.
[1:35:37] Let's say you are Inter in Zagy is your manager, bro?
[1:35:41] He can, He can. I'm playing Barth, I'm playing
[1:35:44] Bayern, bro I. AM.
[1:35:45] I'm playing Bayern, bro. I'm not gonna answer that
[1:35:47] question. Thank you for stating actual
[1:35:49] factual information. You can manage PSG.
[1:35:52] Crazy. Inzaghi can manage PSG a lot
[1:35:55] better than he can manage Barcelona.
[1:35:56] Bro you have Lamini, Ma Rafina and shit running around you.
[1:35:58] You're cooked. Imagine should be trying to
[1:36:00] manage Rafina. Well, you can't.
[1:36:03] You can't mark those guys. You can't, you can't mark those
[1:36:05] guys, bro. That Lamini Ma will pick up the
[1:36:08] ball from the touchline and just fucking cook three of your
[1:36:10] players and then that's it. He's so good.
[1:36:11] Although Cavada, Dembele and Barcola might do that, but I
[1:36:15] think. PS GS team is equally as good,
[1:36:17] yeah, but the. Certainty of Barcelona is much
[1:36:19] stronger in my opinion. Penny world class.
[1:36:23] So yeah, those are those are our.

[1:36:27] Can't believe it wasn't like not even that crazy this like not
