Rivaldo was an amazing player. Overshadowed by Romario, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho after him, but he was a beast. Most amazing Bycicle kick goal I've seen in my life, after Cristano's with Juve.
@@MiguelBaptista1981Rivaldos was better for what it meant. Hugo Sanchez scored the best in terms of execution. I saw Hernan crespo score a great one too.
Just to point this out, Ronaldo overshadowed him playing 1 season vs 5 of Rivaldo. That is no diregard to Rivaldo, he played 5 seasons, won everything, score and assit like crazy. But that just shows how THAT Ronaldo season was. For those that witness, I don't remember ever seeing anything like that in top leagues. Dude didn't lift for a year. And I'm talking goal of the century after goal of the century in consecutive weeks. Btw, what seasons of Messi or Ronaldo do you think equals that Ronaldo 98 Barcelona season?
Yeah. Back then the best teams had top players on every position. Almost every year had a diferent Ballon D´Or winner. There were just so many superstar players. Sure, Messi and CR7 are the best strikers ever. But back then the amount of outstanding players was much higher than it is now.
@@gothia1715it was the best era and still Messi and Ronaldo we still top level and we’re enjoyable because the atmosphere was crazyyyy good diehard fans and Messi and cr7 were well-known youngsters
@@ninadchavan5133 you have no idea what you are saying, this match, this match is unique, every player involved has said that they have not seen anything similar since then, nothing comes close to the absolute craze camp nou became this match
Players were matured back then and friendly, they didnt let the fans get into their heads like players nowadays and turn this into a fighting and physical game. Look at how Xavi and Alfonso greetings and hugging Figo afterwards, fans would definitely not throw bottles at figo if Xavi is next to him!
You're dumb, the game was far more physical before, during this same period you had Roy Keane holding a grudge and ending a mans career. So stop talking nonsense, the game went soft.
@@davidcarcamo5010 cantona is a completly crazy person who should be restrained to a place in order to not hurt other people. Cantona is liability for society. Unpredictable, a bad example super self centred and arrogant.
The early years of Real Madrid's Galaticos were so special, a team of superstars. Even though I think Real Madrid didn't win enough to justify the astronomical transfer fees, that team were beautiful to watch during their prime. No one will attempt to build a team like that again.
@@LRhorses.LRhorsesit’s not about him being a good player, it’s about how we all put up with his bullshit for 6 years and kept rating him, Xavi even risking his credibility and always backing him just for the little snake to celebrate like that.
@@LRhorses.LRhorseseven barca players respected him by wearing his named jersey when he was injured.and also remember he missed a free opportunitie and that cost us a champions league.and now what he celebrating like that he deserves some hate
As a lifelong Barcelona fan, he deserved all the hate, but to be honest, he was so calm and mature to withstand everything and stay by his decision to join Madrid and play the game. Truly, massive respect for that. Any modern superstar would cry and leave the field, yet Figo played and was the best Real player at that match (in my opinion), despite being welcomed with messages "Traitor, welcome to hell", jersey burnings, and even pig heads. Truly an impressive game, and time in football history.
@@user-kn9hw5mo8c Why not? Every club has players they bought from other teams, there should not be an exception between Barça and Real just because some idiots think competitors and enemies are the same.
Mmmm... si para ti no es magia el como juega Messi o las remontadas y momentos cruciales de Cristiano en Champions, nose qué lo es, tenemos hoy mismo al mejor futbolista de todos los tiempos y otro que por lo menos está en el top 10, "magia" eran Ronaldinho o Maradona, los de este video solo son "buenos futbolistas" como les dices...
Still remember this like yesterday, he was receiving death threats before the game, police had to shield him when he went down the tunnel at half time and full time, lighters, galss bottles and a pigs head thrown at him. Crazy
The pigs head was a different game. In this game he didn't take any corners or throw ins because he didn't want to be too close to the fans because he knew they would throw stuff at him. The next year in his second game at camp nou, he decided to take corners and he got absolutely pelted by bottles, lighters, cans etc. Everytime he moved to take the corner, multiple items would fall around him and prevent him from kicking. Eventually the ref had to suspend play for 30 mins and as the cameras filmed the staff cleaning up the waste they saw the infamous pigs head.
@@rvns5173either way, y'all need to stop acting like you won't be fuming at a player of your club if he ever goes to barca. Just because alaba voted for messi in fifa the best y'all were racially abusing him. Basically what I mean to refer is that a large portion fans are rather connected to a player and a club emotionally; and if a thing like this happens they go wild, crazy thing but true
The people of Barcelona have a big misunderstanding. They are anti-government. Israel is similar to Hamas. They think they are just. This is all the same in soccer. Just people have bought referees for 10 years. And when they play, they roll on the floor. They didn't pay Figo, but they tell Figo that they are traitors. They are what they are. They are hypocrites. The same goes for soccer. Eventually the hypocrites will perish
former team mates, everybody saluted him and hugged him at the final whistle. so it's clearly just a supporters hatred. the whole match throwing garbage at him and booing him, it was sad tbh
How can I forgot this one 😢 at that time I saw barca fans look like espanyol fans when we win our title at their cage last season 😂 so emotional but the opponent win it all. I love from this era were Xavi
It makes angry to see Fc Barcelona fans treat Figo like they always want to win Im always a Real Madrid Fan and second of all Figo did right choice to leave Barcelona and Joined Los Blancos ⚽️🇪🇦
I don't understand why there's a need to hate him, because at the end of the day Barcelona received 62 millions from the move, it's all just business, each party is being professional.
Because people tend to associate themselves with things/people they believe in quite strongly and feel betrayed when that faith is shattered. They are at their own fault I dare say.
@@ivandragonyc5240 pride? it's just a game, players getting paid, clubs received profit, and us, the spectators, we PAID for the tickets to watch the game
Comments saying he acted mature. The thing is if he had shown aggression things would have been much worse. He played smart didint agitate the crowd more.
For me i think figo didn't leave just for money , ofc he was appreciated and loved by the fans but he wanted to be appreciated and wanted by the president and the club members as well , to show him how much barca wanted him to stay. In one side , the upcoming president of madrid was calling him personally to convince him to come on the other hand the upcoming barca president was accusing him of bluffing and rejecting his request to raise him salary. Lost us the best player of that time and retired a couple years ago after a drought of 5 years.
Nunca en la historia del Real Madrid ningun jugador contrario por odiado fue recibido asi. Eso demuestra la clase que tienen unos, y de la que carecen los otros
I think Figo didnt like that rivaldo was selected as 1999 balloon dor winner ahead of him bcuz he, not rivaldo played for barca first creating a lot of assists (2nd most in la liga behind Messi if im not mistaken). By joining Real, he won ballon dor 2000 and fifa best player 2001.
Esos clásicos españoles si eran buenos, no como los de. ahora que las figuras son Vinicius y Ansu Fati, el fútbol español a perdido mucho poderío, sobre todo desde que se fueron Cristiano y Messi
Por isso e que o futebol e uma merda por causa de fanaticos como tu, se o gajo da esquina te pagar mais tu vais ficar na mesma loja a receber mt menos do que podias receber, e a profissao dele amor devia ter o Barca que o homem foi o Ballon d Or e nem sequer querem lhe dar dinheiro a mais.
