SHEER. DARTING. DRAMA. | The Final Highlights | 2022 Betfred World Matchplay 

Wow. Just wow. Winning the second biggest major after just having surgery on his wrist and barely practicing before this tournament is incredible. Tonight we saw the true scoring power of MVG, the doubles were poor to begin with but did improve as the game went on. Had he hit those doubles he could've won like 18-6 because he outscored price averaged over 100 all game. Congratulations MVG, a true king of darts.

What can I say? This was an absolutely incredible tournament that had some of the best matches I've seen since I started getting into darts, and it ended in an all-time classic final. Congrats to MVG for taking his 3rd Matchplay title!!!

Surely one of the greatest wins in MVG’s illustrious career..

How does he do this... With just having had a surgery, having taken a vacation right before the matchplay, barely any practice. He even admitted to being in a bad form and himself was even not expecting to win like he usually does... Pure class. Well done Michael, and be afraid to the other players for future tournaments, when he may actually put decent practice in

What makes this MVG performance even more spectacular, that only last month he was undergoing surgery on his throwing arm. “ He said he would be back to his best for the Matchplay Final “ and boy he didn’t disappoint on the night.

This shows that mvg is the best player in the world atm. Even just after injury be can win arguably the hardest major on the calendar

MVG being down early showed that you should never give up

If someone asks you how good MvG really is, show them this video. This is what makes him world class.

One of the most entertaining finals I think I've ever watched. All credit to Michael and Gerwyn and lets not forget the crowd... they were stellar this event. OOOOOOOH MICHAEL AAAAND GERWYYYYN!!!! 😁😁😁

Thats to all the haters especially mardle for saying mvg had no chance of winning this title. boooom 34 doubles missed and still won what a champion 🏆🎯💚

I love MVG. Such a lovely down to earth guy. Credit to Price as well for the good sportsmanship he showed MVG after MVG won. Also let’s not forget MVG had not long had wrist surgery before this Tournament, and he still managed to win it, shows the determination he has.

3:08 even Price felt that when MVG missed the 9 darter

I'm so happy for him . Hard but deserved win . Congrats 👏

To be constantly behind missing all your doubles and to keep headstrong still is a remarkable effort. Good job to mvg and big ups to price as well.

And there ends an absolutely brilliant tournament. Congratulations to MVG for winning his 3rd Matchplay title. What a way to finish it with a 121 checkout on the Bull and even though hes not been at his best during the tournament, he still wins it. Gotta feel for Price, he didnt play as well as he did the last few days but he was up the entire match until 14-14 and then just like yesterday, once MVG takes the lead he doesnt give it up. In fact he doesnt lose a single leg after he takes the lead. The scoring was unreal from MVG but all those chances missed at doubles was the reason he was behind in the first place. It just felt as though if he could start getting them in a bit more it would be a closer game and thats exactly what happened. After the 5th session, Price started missing some doubles and then the tables turned. A great final to top off a great tournament and i really love this format, it gives us great darts and i can just appreciate what we have seen from all the players during the entire week. I just love darts.

Never give up, the best player will always win. Congrats MVG. Amazing performance.

Congrats MVG you are absolutely amazing!!!!

Very happy for you MVG, even I'm certain you've more to offer. Very sad the tournament gets to the end. Thanks to all the great players who entertain us through the whole event.

That how to slow the critics down, we’ll play MVG. But this was a tournament for the ages, some of the best matches and quality ive ever watched. Brilliant 🙏🙏

Only mvg can do special things on special nights

MVG, really the best

What. A. Match! Absolutely world class from both players

It was coming, Mighty MVG was showing glimpses of brilliance for a few months now just needed to sort out his doubles and boy has he been the best in this tournament. Gerwyn has been superb too but i am delighted for MVG he needed that to let the others know he is back! Has world darts ever been in a better place where realistically 10 players can be argued favourite for every tournament...love it!

The best of MVG on display. REAL fighting spirit

MVG - best of the best!!!!

Lets go MvG!!! Without the missed doubles he could have steamrolled the world number 1

MVG... The Best ...The Real World Number ☝

It's been a great Matchplay this year.Well done to all who have taken part and congratulations to Michael Van Gerwen 2022 Matchplay Champion 🏆 🎯👍

Amazing tournament and the standard of darts superb. Congratulations MVG. Thanks for uploading so quickly.

Mighty Micheal Van Gerwen indeed! What a finish to the match!

Well, Price got the World Number One spot but not the title. MVG did so well to take the title here. His doubles were not good at all at the start... but his scoring power gave him plenty of opportunities. And once he got the lead, he was never letting it go. Beauty of a checkout to win it too. World Matchplay number 3.

Just brilliant, some big finishes, he hung in, & prevailed, great final

Mvg just back from operation with very little practice and goes and beats 5 major winners to win it! when on his A game no players lives with him! an all time great!!

What a game! Congratulations MVG!

Loved every bit of it!

Against number one, MvG shows again how to do it.. What a tournament what a final..MvG back!!!!

That 160 checkout was so clean 😎

MVG took the third title! Great success of the Flying Dutchman, congratulations!🎯🏆👏

Amazing! Well done MVG you have proved that you are simply the best!

late game MVG is so impressive!

Best matchplay ever, in my opinion even better than the 2018 matchplay

That 130 finish was the big blow!

Price has really upped his game and his attitude, well done to both amazing players

So much for everyone having a shot. The field might be the strongest it's ever been, but the GOAT always comes through!

MvG is literally the only player in darts history to win three biggest major tournaments (the Worlds, Matchplay and Premier League) checking out the bullseye finish in the very last leg. What a legend!

MVG is bigg player !! Congratulations

RIP the great John Gwyne ❤️

This year's Matchplay has been an absolute joy to watch. The level of play especially from Price and MvG was unbelievable. Was hoping for "the iceman" to get his first Matchplay trophie but congratulations to MvG well deserved.

Incredible win after coming from so far back, took so much character. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

MVG outing is incredible. Congratulations 👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯

It was nice to see his dad giving him the trophy

That 121 finish seemed to come out of nowhere

Mentally very impressive. Never give up is an understatement

Great Match Congrats both phenomenal players, MVG was down but had the spirit to come back

Simply epic. Wonderful edge of the seat drama. Hopefully this competition will be widely seen and spoke about and help get the next generation interested in darts. So happy for the British fella. Big respect to the Dutch guy for making this such a great contest.

What a match.. one of the best I've ever seen.

I'm not the greatest mvg fan but you got to hand it to the guy what 3 of the last 4 legs to hit 130, 121 and 114 that's champion quality. 🏆 well done the green machine. He's back.

Just love this guy since day one!

Congrats to MvG 👏, would say his best Matchplay championship win having to claw back legs and the surgery. Incredible resilience, stepped his scoring and finishing game. Would have been the cherry on top if that D12 went in for the 9 darter 😂. Good to see Price getting that form, and number 1 ranking back as well. Hopefully, we could see a rematch at the Worlds 🔥.

This is like a love drug, what MVG needed, to start to believe in himself again!!

The swings of Momentum is a crazy thing to experience in real life

I'm really happy for MVG

Fantastic Tournament. We should celebrate all these great players.

He always legend in my heart. What a battle.

Great final from two absolutely phenomenal players. 😀

Such a long format. A real test of endurance and nerves.

Wan Gerwen, the champion of 2022... he is the best in my opinion

Fair play Mighty Van Michael!! He had the much harder draw in the tournament, but still came out on top☺️

What a finish! Nails the comeback with the bullseye, wow.

Both were great.👍

MvG is the best of all time. Keep going.

How can you not love MVG

Well done to both players in this final 👏 what a game

I'm amazed that they can stay focused with all the cheering and high emotions for the Finals.

What a great match, what a comeback and victory! Pity did not see it live.

well done mvg awesome to watch

I love this two. . .michael van gerwen price. . . Lol. . . Never gets old . . . They meet again. . .

Welkom back to the top MvG 👍

players can be argued favourite for every tournament...love it!

Incredible match and incredible comeback

The finishing from mvg at the back end of the match was absolutely stunning. After missing so many doubles at the start to just have the bottle to take out they ton+ finishes in the last 5 games. Couldn't hit a double to save himself at the start it was insane but if he was hitting them I hate to say it but gerwyn may have been on the end of a bad one. he wasn't hitting big numbers himself to be fair he was just more clinical at the doubles. When Mvg puts it altogether he is aesome to watch and when starts getting those doubles it could be a very good end to the year for him after so many doubters wrote him off.

Mvg , what can we say , what a final. You did it agian. Nr 1 by far.

Just watching these highlights...wow! Never crumbled MVG with missing many doubles earlier...I thought Jonas and Pogacar were amazing in the LaTour (well ye, they were). Always good seeing two Bulls go at it. Congratulations MVG. Well done Pricey.

One of the best fights ever

MVG took the third title! Great success of the Flying Dutchman, congratulations!

Don't know how he does it.....but he does it! GP was off today, can't wait for their next finals matchup

Amazing performance from MVG considering the surgery and lack of practice. Double trouble all through the tournament but got it together when it mattered. Price wasn't able to up his game when it mattered, which is unusual for him but showed great sportsmanship at the end. Keep it up Pricey. You don't need to do all that other stuff. Great matchplay tounament as usual.

Congrats Michael💪🏻👍🍾🥂🏆

Thanks for share’s what a great 👍 vedeo From Malaysia 🇲🇾 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🌹👀🎥

Damn that was intense knew it was gonna be close!

Its not how you start, its how you finish. Awesome stuff

Brilliant darts Mike

Very happy Van Gerwen won especially after listening to Mardle slate him off throughout the whole match.

Well, the only words are; OMG. Thanks for the video!

Great "bullseye" finish from van gerwin👏👏

This is pure perseverance

the beast is backk

Price my fav but great to see mvg back near his best. Hopefully they're both on it in the next big tv final they play

Gutted for price but mvg was class

Great match, and I like Price more and more, he is not throwing darts near peoples heads anymore. He screams, but to celebrate, not to annoy. He is behaving better, which makes me like him more and more. So many great darts player out there. Smith is my personal favourite but what a player MVG is :)
