Mookie first time reacting to...Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi • THE END IS NEAR (best video) 

This was an incredible time in football. You will never see El Clasico at that peak again. The atmosphere and energy leading up to the Clasicos was crazy! Even people that didn't watch football tuned it to watch...it was beautiful. The whole world tuned in!

By the time Ronaldo went to Madrid he had already won everything with Man U. Including individual awards Also it’s Real Madrid. everyone always dreams of playing for Real Madrid

For like 10 years they were averaging 50/60 goals each every season, that's unseen, while the rest of the elite forwards were averaging 25/30. That's how insane they were, they could have in a season more goals then a whole top 10 team front line of forwards.

To explain the point system Win= 3pts Tie= 1pt per team Loss= more training

Ronaldo x Messi was the greatest era of football. They are healthy rivals and their rivalry was something different, something unique, something from a epic movie, book. Nobody could have predicted this. I rember all of this happening all over the years. You could go to any place on this planet and people would know about Cristiano vs Messi, people would watch each one of their El Clássicos and Champions League matches, I remember being surprised many times with the things these two did. One day Messi was saving Argentina and Barcelona and the world was saying he was better. Literally the next day Ronaldo would show up and save his club or country. This happened many times throughout the years. I remember working and at my workplace, at the streets, at the mall, at the bar and restaurant people where watching and suddenly you hear the reaction... It was Cristiano doing something crazy or Messi doing something crazy... Oh man... You have no idea how great this sport is. You can go anywhere on the planet and people know how to play, they understand the culture, if they don't they ar least know who these two are and exactly how great they are. Keep driving on this sport. You won't regreat it. You can have many good moments throughout your lives watching or playing in real life or even at videogame. I bet even the USA will be on fire during the World Cup. Go out and watch any World Cup match. Even if the game isn't as good the importance of it and the world literally stopping to pay attention to it will make it a giant game. Half of the planet watch the World Cup, it's a short, dense and intense thing. I honestly can't wait. I love other sports too, I love the NBA and NFL but you can't match something this popular, this big, this historically rich. Each country have it's particular history, football culture, football style, football philosophy etc. It's something amazing. You should try to learn about the different clubs and fans all over the world, just an overall view of the map of football. Each of these teams have millions and millions of fans. I would say that at least 200 clubs have more than 1 million fans on Earth, some have 50 million fans or more.

Between 2008 and 2018 only 3 teams other than Ronaldos Real Madrid and Manchester United or Messis FC Barcelona won the Champions League trophy (Inter Milan 2010, Chelsea London 2012, Bayern Munich 2013). Between 2008 and 2021 the Ballon d'Or (MVP) was only given to Luca Modric (2018) other than them both. There is almost no record they didn't break. But for me this duel was so amazing, because both sides were so different: Messi is the technical player, Ronaldo the more physical player. Messis talent was 'given by god', Ronaldo is maybe the hardest working player there is or was. Ronaldo is the flashy celebrity, dating super models. Messi is the quiet kind of guy, with the same girl back from his city in Argentina. "[For FC Barcelona...] Winning becomes less important, because it is important to win in the “right way”.In Madrid, winning is the ultimate goal. The club exists to win." Both of the players fitted perfectly the style of their teams: At that time, many players of Barcelona came from the region and/or their own academy. They played beautiful football as a team (TikiTaka). Real is always going for an all-star team (galacticos). The style of Madrid was more straight forward an aggressive. Real Madrid is the Club of the spanish capital and the king of Spain (Real..), FC Barcelona the team of Catalonia, a region which wants to separate from Spain. This wasn't only a fight between two different players, but between two clubs with different ideologies from two different regions in Spain with political history. At their peak.

Imagine how heartbreaking it is for us. We’ve been watching these 2 Legends for over 13 years 💔

That El Classico era was without a doubt greatest footballing era ever in terms of rivalry..Neymar Messi Suarez iniesta Xavi pique Ronaldo benzema bale cassilas Marcelo di Maria Ozill ramos…all were on their peak of their powers

Just imagine that 2 different days when this two Legends announce their Retirement from Football..😪 I can't hold my tears specially when Ronaldo retires because I'm a huge fan of him but i will be sad for Messi's too.😔 I can't imagine Football without this two Great players who ever played this game...🐐🙏🐐

Fun Fact: Ronaldo’s son “Ronaldo Jr” idolize Messi and Messi’s son Thiago idolize Ronaldo. Also Ronaldo's 869 days older than Messi, the same age difference between their sons

Master of skills, 3 ucl in a row, top scorer of all time,most awarded player in 2008 etc,..... All in packed one. CR7🥵

Man this gives me nostalgia and goosebumps .. Early 90s kids will understand growing up with these two legends, I remember in 2009/2010 I was a highschool freshman, the whole world was already following CR7 in Man United and following Messi in Barcelona. The day CR7 joined Real Madrid was like a dream come true to everyone, not just football enthusiasts. I am not that crazy about football myself but these two legends made everyone love the game again, from all ages and throughout the whole world. The day El Classico was on, everyone was watching it, all coffeeshops were packed, the whole city was holding its breath, literally everyone was fan of both legends and because of that they loved the teams they were playing for. I get tears in my eyes when I remember these days, of course the day Messi left for PSG and CR7 left for Juve was a very sad day in football. In my opinion, it even sadder for Messi because he went to a country that is not really interesting in terms of teams etc. However, CR7 went for Italy which has more exciting games + he was still breaking records there and now he's back home at Man United, at a time where there is Mo Salah at Liverpool, another magnificent player which makes everyone wants to watch a legend VS a superstar. The same scenes of packed coffeeshops went back, and a lot of people currently are watching England but on a lower level that was in CR7 vs Messi days, that was a time that will really never happen again in football history.

I’m 33…. In all my time watching every el Classico since 1996…. These two are the best ever this was the peak of football, nothing will come close. I remember thinking every time they played… this is special. Goosebumps

MOOKIE LOVE THIS VIDEO FAMILY THANK YALL✊🏽

I went to the “el clásico” in Miami a few years ago and I can tell you the atmosphere was insane. I woke up the next day with a sore throat and barely being able to speak from all the screaming

They push up each other limitless. And that made them absolute LEGENDS. Happy to have watched all their entire era.

CR7 never move from good situation to a good situation . When he joined these clubs though they have good history of records but he meet them in a struggleing state he never met them in their glory rather he brought back that glory to the clubs . That is the CR7 effect . The goat

28:20 yes you can tie in football. In playoff competitions you can't tie if it's a single game playoffs. If it's home and away match playoff you can tie only the first match. When ties aren't allowed the matches goes into extra time, two halfs of 15 minutes each and if the tie continue the game ends on penalties.

This video makes it seem normal for 2 players to continually win the Ballon D'or, it is completely abnormal and miraculous. Ballon D'or is basically 'footballer of the year'. Prior to Messi/Ronaldo era, there was a different player every year pretty much, and no one has won more than 3, except Ronaldo/Messi who between themselves won it about 10 years in a row.

Madrid and Barcelona is a huge rivalry, politically and in sports. Having the best players itw playing in each team was something crazy

There can be ties in a game, but it depends on what type of match is being played. Nick is right about the point system. That gets used in all the domestic leagues: Premier League, La liga, Serie A etc. However in champions league and the other cup-formats there is a knockout stage. If a tie happens in those games they usually play till a winner has been decided. Thats when extra-time (added 30'minutes after the initial 90*) gets into play. Hope that helps:)

Bro the world of football used to gather for these games. We were lucky to live this time

The funny thing is that Ronaldo's son is a massive fan of Messi and the same is true vice versa because Messi's son is massive fan of Ronaldo too

Football is a beautiful sport. I love how 1 team can have like 10 different nationalities and still play the beautiful football language is not a barrier.

At the time Real Madrid were buying all the biggest players in world football, they were nicknamed the GALACTICOS the best players in every position in one team. When Madrid bought Ronaldo, he was the current world best player at the time so it was bound to happen. Barcelona had the best players as well. He hence a match between Madrid and Barcelona was the greatest but however the rest of the teams in the Spanish league are weak, whilst the Premier league pretty much all the teams in the league are very strong

These games are insane countries shut down just because of a game going on in another continent...The feeling is nervousness like you want to shit a brick.... It's crazy, parties are thrown streets are shut down and beurocracy breaks down, sometimes even fireworks and loud ass vouvouzelas. when Finals of games come around... Especially the world cup Everyone is involved.... I've never seen a single superball game other than the halftime show but wherever I travel to that love football it's always wild.

He actually wanted to play for Real Madrid for a while it was always a dream of his, he had been planning on leaving earlier but Ferguson convinced him to stay for another few seasons. Those turned out to be his best seasons at Man U

Messi has a gift, to play football. Is something that a few players have it. Like Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff and Messi (My POV) Ronaldo had to work a lot to be similar on level with Messi. Both have merit and is difficult to stay on the top, but these guys are in the top since 00’s

In this time Real Madrid vs Barcelona Was the biggest match in the World, im from Spain and i can say that el clásico Was fucking crazy, You could see that the atmósphere in all the country changed, i swear those Days Was something really special

Ronaldo is from Iberia (Portugal/Spain), and for most young Iberian boys their dream is to play for Real Madrid one day. That's why Ronaldo transferred at the time. At the time Manchester United were stronger than Real Madrid.

Guys remember it this way it will be very easy: 1-If it is a league game you get : 3 points for the win 1 point for the tie 0 points for the loss 2- If it is in a Cup game i.e(Champions league/Copa Del Rey in Spain/FA cup in England etc) there can be no ties in the game. It either is a home and away game( you can tie the first game but if the second is tied you go to extra time and then penalties) or you play the extra time and penalties directly because a winner must be determined. So in conclusion ties in league games give you 1 point and ties in cup games will go to over time and penalty shootouts because a winner has to be determined beceause only 1 will qualify. (Added time and overtime are not the same. Added time is the added time of the time wasted in the half regularly its about 3-4 minutes. Can be 1 minute or even 5-6 depends on the game because the clock doesnt stop in football even if the play does).

i first used to like messi so much, cause im like his height and than i switched up to ronaldo bro, im not gonna lie, i love both of them. in my town i play like messi style but shit ronaldo i like how he is and thats my personality too so its hard to pick, but my heart always says Ronaldo 🔥💯

Mookie said it exactly how it is, messi was molded since he was little by the best footballers in his time

Real Madrid was his dream club so he was always going to leave. But Manchester united is his 2nd home (away from Portugal) they moulded the superstar we see today hence he returned to Manchester. As a way to say thank you

American here, I’m a Barca fan and my fam is Real Madrid fan. We’re a “soccer” family and watched every el classico and after every one we would go play ball outside bc we were inspired

It’s honestly a beautiful/sad feeling knowing two greats will no longer be playing the beautiful game most of us grew up loving anymore. Even though it was considered a rivalry, you have to tip your hat to them both. There will never be a period like that in football where two greats dominated the game by both being the best players for their respected clubs. That time frame of them two just winning the ballon d’or is just an example of how both of them are on a different level than most.

Magic and Bird all over again. That's the best analogy to basketball. Those two battled each other for years and were always at the top of the NBA until Bird messed up his back badly, Magic got HIV and lost Kareem, and Jordan finally got some help on the Bulls.

Two of greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch

Messi did go into the academy system a bit earlier than Ronaldo. On top of that, he went to the best academy in the entire world. He was definitely moulded from very young to be what he is. There was no better footballing education than the one he received at La Masia - and they mould the youngsters to play the Barcelona way.

El Clásico is (alongside Liverpool vs Manchester United) the biggest and most watched club football match each season because they are two of the biggest clubs in world football. I went to my first and only el clasico 2 years ago at the Bernabéu (Real Madrid’s stadium). The atmosphere was incredible. Both teams and the Spanish league in general aren’t as strong as they used to be. In the era of Messi and CR7, the Spanish league was the best in the world by far. Now it is the premier league. Love the growth of your channel. Keep up the good work. Oh and the Golden Ball trophies you kept seeing in the vid is the Balon D’or or World Player of the Year award. It is the award given to the best player in the world each season. During the late 2000s it was basically shared between Messi and CR7 as they were posting up ridiculous scoring records season dates season. They set a level that has never been seen before in the history of football which goes back over 100 years. Most players score around 20 - 25 goals in one season. That used to be the average and even then only a handful of players could achieve it do. For a period of about 5 years, Messi and CR7 were scoring 50 goals and more EVERY season. Just incredible.

Both legend story make me goosebumps every-time both have so much hard-work to get up to this fame. Ronaldo face poverty never loose hope and believe in himself. M10❤️ Cr7

By the time ronaldo moved to real madrid he had already won everything he could at Manchester United. His reason for leaving was pretty much that it was a dream to play for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the biggest teams in history, playing for one of them is any players dream.

The biggest achievement of Ronaldo is that people have been mentioning his name in the same breath as Messi's.

4:12 Mookie is right it was destined for Messi to become a footballer and nothing else. I compare Messi to LeBron James as they both just have God given abilities that can't be taught. It's wired in their DNA. Ronaldo however is like Kobe Bryant who are both naturally talented of course. But their work ethic and killer instinct is what really made them become GOAT status. They couldn't depend on their natural talents alone they had to work twice as hard just to reach that same level.

In barcelona, you see people around the stadium shouting like 10 hours before the game. Fireworks, highly-crowded stadium. Craziness just to see them both

I can’t imagine how the last match of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi 😭💔 Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time 🐐 respect to Messi for me he is the 2nd greatest. But we have to enjoy their greatness until there here because they will retire this decade. We will never see a player like them ever again the same two guys in the top level of football for 15+ years this is unthinkable stuffs, we argue who is the best but we can’t dined their greatness every single games we all have different opinions about them but we have to respect for what they are. I’m not ready for they’re retirement that last game will be the emotional game of all time. All of the football fans will cry even who don’t know them will cry because of their greatness on what they do on the football field that we never seen before. Respect Ronaldo Respect Messi Their both our goat’s 🐐x🐐

I've been to a classico in 2017! The score was 3-1 Ronaldo did a beautiful far long distance goal ascensio too and Messi scored a pen but what a game!!

U can argue if Messi or Ronaldo was better but the truth is we will never see such dominance like we saw with these 2. 15+ years of them playing at a really high level. Crazy

did you know that the campnou stadium in barcelona has a capacity of 99'636 spectators. In 1980, during a World Cup in Spain, an additional tier was built to accommodate 119'000 spectators. the bernabeau stadium in madrid has a capacity of 81'044 spectators.

You should react to cristiano unforgettable revenge moments in football

i'm not crying, u do🥺

It feels very hilarious when you two fight each other praising ronaldo and messi.

I am a simple south american. I see americans watching football and I hit the like.

Real Madrid is the club with most history in the champions league and he wanted to win everything for another team. And he went and did just that. He went after Messi to the Spanish league (with the 2 best teams in the world for several years). He won 4 champions league for Madrid (to add to the one he won for MU) and broke all the records of Real Madrid and the Champions z league while at it.

Ronaldo participated in every trophy he won in every team he played for

When you get a chance think you would like Liverpool's trent Alexander Arnold , you will enjoy his passes and assists. Take care and boss reaction 👊

I love how he tries to play off by saying "he Iight" yOooo G, Messi is the GOAT THE GOAT!!!

In CR7 defense Sir Alex Ferguson wanted his players to show up in a suit and tie...it was a thing

Ronaldo at United already had won everything. Plus Real Madrid made a record offer for the time and united took the money. In the next years Real would build the team that won 3UCL in a row

Ronaldo basically pulled a Kevin Durant type trade , he said get me tf outta I’m tryna win championships 🏆

to explain it simply there's a cup competition with knockout stages. Here there will be no draws as the tournament needs to go on to get 1 winner. In the league we have draws that count for 1 point since there's no elimination

Messi= Talent Ronaldo= Hard Work

to end this forever Messi is natural and Ronaldo trained hard to achieve his success both are so good

Two Legends! ✌️

You ask can you imagine them in the same team? Then watch what if Ronaldo and Messi were on the same team by magical Messi giving us a glimpse of unbelievable greatness

Growing up I was a CR7 fanboy but as I got older and studied Messi’s game I’ve realized he’s out of this world…Pique is a Barcelona player who played with both CR7 & LM10 and he said “ Ronaldo is the best of the Humans but Messi is an Extraterrestrial”

A draw (tie) is equal to one point, A win is equal to three points and a loss equals 0 points, that's in league play. If the two teams are tied at the end of the season at top of the league, then their head-to-head record comes into play, if they drew in both the games they played against each other; home and away, then their goal average comes into play.

every league has its own clasicos and the atmosphere is fire in all of them.. some leagues clasicos atmosphere is so intense that rival fans arent even allowed in the stadium

We will see another Ronaldo but we will never see another Messi!!

When at the end of the season there is a tie between clubs, they will look at the goal difference (total goals scored - total goals against) and the team with the best goal difference will win the league. One exception is tournaments. In a tournament like the Champions League, Europa league, domestic cup... they'll let a game go to overtime if it's a tie and penalties if it's still not decided after the overtime

Messi simplemente el mejor jugador de todos los tiempos, ronaldo no existe !!!.

Mookie is right about Messi in the beginning of the vid. Since 10 he was molded to be one of the greatest at Barca. That´s nothing negative. Just a fact. He had the mentality for it😉✌🏽

You two are very knowledgeable about football(compared to other american RU-vid channels I've watched. I'm subscribing right now.

31:11 Cristiano Ronaldo he's 6,2 and Lionel Messi is 5,7.

english premier is the best now. ever since ronaldo left real madrid, the spanish league isnt good anymore. but when ronaldo was at real madrid, thats when spanish league was the best.

Respect for both of them. This is football ⚽️ ❤

Fr bro 2017 el classico

Cristiano once said he wanted to win as many trophies as he can and the only team to that with was real Madrid, he broke all records whilst his will probably never be broken

The point system is used in the league matches. if your team wins, that 3 points gained but if y'all are tied after the game is over, that's 1 point gained for both teams. if it's in other competitions, then its a knockout system so if it's tied at the end, they play some extra minutes and even go to penalty shoot outs to determine who wins.

the premier league is the best right now but it was not back then that's the beauty of european football the title of the best league changes from time to time depending on how competitive the teams in champions league and european league

React to Uefa Champions league finals 2000-2020 This is the biggest club competition. Winning it means you the best team in the world. A reaction to such a video will give ya'll an idea of which football clubs are boss, and also how other clubs were once great but now have fallen.

Another banger from the Dunsons 🔥🔥 keep it up

CR7 and Messi the greatest of all time

34:41 the love in mookies eyes 😂😂 Mayn shut up! 😂 y’all legends.

When you tie both teams get 1 point when you win the team that won gets 3 points ,they will only go to extra time or penalties if a tournament like the UEFA champions league or The World cup

Back in 2013-15 my whole family would watch el clasico and the side that like barca goes to one house and the one that likes real madrid goes to another house. I loved those days

Messi was Christiano's son's fav player. Don't know if it's still the case. And btw, a win is considered getting 3points and a draw is a point in all major leagues.

To answer your tie question: - If the game is a league game (premier league, la liga etc), the game can end in a tie, both teams get 1 point each (a win is 3 points, a loss is 0, the points are totalled at end of season to determine the league winner). - If the game is a cup (tournament) game, it depends on the tournament and the stage of the tournament. IN GENERAL, in the group stage of a tournament, you can tie, and both teams get 1 point. In the knockout rounds (last 16, quarter final, semi final etc) if the game ends in a tie, it goes to extra time (an additional 30 minutes) and if that ends in a tie you do a penalty shootout (both teams take penalties, 5 each as standard but can be more or less. Whoever scores the most penalties wins). The main exception to this is the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE which is the biggest tournament in club football. In the champions league knock out stages there are 2 'legs' where the teams play 2 games, one at home, one away. If the FIRST match ends in a tie, nothing happens, because the 2nd match still needs to be played. If the combined goals of both 'legs' is a tie, it then goes to extra time and penalties if extra time ends in a tie.

The point system goes like this. A win = 3 points A draw = 1 point A loss = 0 points So if a team wins a game 1-0 or 2-0 or whatever other scoreline, they get 3 points. So if on the table they had 10 points, after the win, they would have 13 points. If the draw either 1-1 or 2-2 then both teams are awarded a point each. If one of the teams had 5 points, after the draw they would have 6 points. If a team loses then they don't get awarded any points. If it's a league match and the game ends in a tie, both teams get a point each, that's it. However if they're playing a cup match and have reached the knockout stages, a tie would result into extra time where the referee adds on 30min of gametime. If they still end up in a tie after those 30min, they go into a penalty shootout to determine the winner who the proceeds to the next stage of the cup competition.

Please react to “what if ronaldo and messi were on the same team”, you guys gonna love it🔥🔥🙏🙏

Watching Cristiano vs Messi was so hype... even I started watching Soccer. 13:00 - The reason was Real Madrid, from the time he was at Sporting Lisbon, they wanted Cristiano, and they wanted him bad... and after a stint in Manchester and this and that... nothing was going to stop this combo of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid from happening... he was at the time the most expensive transfer (team buys player, then negotiates contract): 94 Million EUR, a contract worth 77 Million EUR (11 Million EUR from 2009 - 2015), and a buyout clause worth 1 Billion Euro. Long story short, Real Madrid bought Ronaldo from Manchester, because they wanted him BAD (like downbad). And he wanted it too... Madrid is a club with pedigree like no other professional club (not to knock Manchester United).

28:54 he was talking about aggregate scores not necessarily points per se. So yeh winning on aggregate ending on a level score doesn't matter once a particular team have won the last game. For example in a 2 leg game (home/away)..leg 1/2: team A scored 2 and team B scored 1..heading into leg 2/2 the aggregate would be (2) - (1)... so if team A ended leveled with team B say 1-1. it doesn't matter because now it is technically (3)-(1) and team A is declared the winner. This can also be a case where in the first leg both teams tie the game..there would be the need for a winner in the 2nd leg, if at the end of the regular 90mins + stoppage time there isn't a winner, the game goes to extra time. If still without a winner penalties then take place.

Madrid just made a bid . A record 100 mil . Manchester accepted . And when comes calling who can say no . A win win situation . Historically Real Madrid is the most successful club in Europe . Everyone wants to play there. All thanks to Alfredo Di Stefano 🐐 legend

A win in the league gives you 3 points, a tie (draw) gives you 1 point and a loss no points.. the team with the most points after a season wins the league.. The Classico is named after Real Madrid V Barcelona matches during the season.. points system remains the same..

Messi the alien and Ronaldo the peak human

In the la liga, if you win you get 3 points, if you draw (2-2) or (0-0) you get 1 point each team and 0 for loss. If two teams have the same points at the end of the season it goes on "goal difference" which that takes account for who wins. The team with the highest goal difference wins. So if Real Madrid had 90 points, Scored 70 goals and had 20 past them then their difference is 50. And that's the basis of who wins if they have same points.

What if ronaldo joined barca and then took away messi's spot light

23:39 the ICONIC celebration!

The best league rivalry in the world
