Simon Jordan Labels Real Madrid The 'Southgate Of Domestic Football' Due To Their UCL Luck! 🍀🔥 

The guy is delusional and a hypocrite. How in his smart mind does he say things like that. Let's wait for England to fall short again and he will criticize them for not getting over the line. The guy just wants to debate and is obsessed with trying to make the other person look wrong and stupid.

​​@@vincentvries9854I like Simon but on this one I disagree with him. There are things to debate against and things to use context and common sense that tournament or KO football is about eliminating and qualifying to the next round cause possession and stats don't appear on the cup trophies just like the Carabao cup and the FA cup unfortunately champions league is the hardest considering the teams available.

Just another english man trying to use the word lucky for their opponents, but when an english side wins is on pure merits lol

Yeah i really dont get the comparison, whether you like RM or not, they are the team to beat in the CL.

Think he means in terms of Southgate getting lucky draws. But I agree with yourself, it’s a really weird comparison for Jordan to make

They are just coping with silly comments like that. City literally scored from a ball that crossed the line last season and yet today Simon is talking of Madrid's luck...they really are coping, the EPL fans.

Imagine not getting the simile and what he was saying 😂

Extremely silly

Everything he was saying prior to the match and made to look stupid thats why he's making this silly takes

What's truly silly is someone like you misconstruing what Simon said and then making a post about it. How can you have not understood him? [SMH]

Yes and if De Bruyne was English they would call his goal world class. 😅😂.

Johnny foreigner delusion everyone

Exactly!!

Bingo! He keeps calling Manchester United and Liverpool the biggest clubs in the world and you can tell he hates bringing up Real Madrid and Barcelona as arguably both can be seen as bigger (I'd argue Real maybe not Barcelona)

🎯🎯🎯🎯

@@Degrasinboth those clubs are known cheaters though, getting backhander deals from the Spanish government. Why would anyone rate cheaters?

5 of Real's European cups were won when most of Europe didn't care much about it.

​@@user-re9mp2nh5ewill we won 9 ucl....keep crying

Yep, not only in this subject but most things of late. Very odd

Simon Jordan hates spanish teams with a passion. Its obvious if you see his opinions and takes whenever he talks about madrid, barca or Atletico. I wonder if he was bullied by the Spaniards when he was living in Spain.

​@@kosare95obviously 😂😂

Not really, Madrid are awful to watch at times.

​@@MrBarry465there not here to entertain in cup games...win and go through..end off

English media and their EPL fans don't know anything about defending and yet they waffle on about "total football" and "pure football", Mourinho went there to school them about the art of defending and now that's all they brand him, he whooped them so hard that they convince themselves into delusion that Mourinho teams are bad offensively.

Reason why is hard to give them credit is because after a week another team will pull this same defensive masterclass and everyone will rubbish it and call it anti football. U cant rubbish Arsenal for doing that against Man City few weeks ago, and praise Real for doing it now. One day it is Big Sam's ball, the next day it is world class for Real Madrid.

@@danielalfresco969 that's just hypocrisy if a team holds man city to draw any team in the world they should be applauded because man city's attack is something else

We dont care about defending we want good footbal

@@zakariaaisset325 real madrid wasn't there to entertain people with good football they only had one goal which was to go through to the semis and they did

Thank you. I don't understand why people don't understand this. Having more possession doesn't make a team better than the one with less possession.

Preach lad, well said. How do these so-called "pundits" don't get it?

Finally found someone with coherent and logical thoughts. Have these stupid pundits ever witnessed any Italian defensive tactics? Seriously its like football 101😅

In the great sport of Foutball only way to win is score goals and win games at the end simple as that 😂

they held possession the most, but Madrid score goals much more efficiently than them over the two legs. lmao

If you think Real Madrid was just hanging on last night then you just don’t know ball. Simon proved that everyday.

@@theimmaculated6480what 😂 If Real Madrid weren’t holding on last night, what were they doing. Absolute delusion. You think they planned to be penned in their own half for 100 minutes and concede 34 shots on their goal and 18 corners Grow up.

​@sidbob1215 I think they do in a way plan for it because they have done this on more than one occasion. They go all out attack at home, and are very comfortable sitting back and being opportunistic in attack away from home. There more than a couple of examples of them taking a handful of shots and with the opponent taking more. But Madrid still go through. One game they had 3 shots whilst PSG had 21. Another at home they had 10 shots with Chelsea taking 28. They won both ties on aggregate. Most notable example in the final against Liverpool. They took 4 shots whilst Liverpool had 24. And they won. That's why they do so well in the UCL. They are comfortable playing any style needed to get a result.

@@JR-sj1jz stop teaching idiots about football

​@@theimmaculated6480delusional at it funiest 😂

3 absolutely lucky goals may I add, 2 deflected goals at the bernabeu 1 being a Ruben Dias own goal, and the ping pong goal at the etihad, luck plays a massive part

​@@scottpearce288bohohoho keep crying 😂

@@scottpearce288ahahahaha what a sadistic cry. Schitty scored 3 long range goals that are more luckier and that fumble goal by Rudiger though. hmmm tough luck

That's REAL.

@@Jim-qm9xf 🙄

@@Jim-qm9xf Any team on planet earth knows Real Madrid is the dream team ❤

It's close, let's not lie

Yes his right mate but he forgot to say in England Utd are big while Real are the biggest in the world

Totally Clueless he talks BS

It’s hard to believe that Macca scored in the final for Madrid. Along with Fletcher, just two complete clowns who can’t hide their biases.

In a 2 club tin pot league

@@markrobinson1369 yeah, cause the Premier League is so much better with City winning every year.

@@markrobinson1369 PL is a 1 club tin pot league

How he couldn't use his brain and use Jose Mourinho is baffling. That was a Jose performance through and through. Not flashy, gritty, and we're fine to let you pass 1,000 times but we're going to bend not break. Nobody loves a win like that more than prime Jose.... not pathetic southgate

He does flip flop. For him to intimate that he wouldn’t be singing the epl’s praises had the English teams gone through is ludicrous.

Don't think the pied piper was particularly famous for his extensive repertoire

@@samuelratchford862 very fair point

Mate Simon is smoking some good quality stuff, he makes a lot of sense when he talks about FFP and financial aspects but from a footballing perspective, he's shite lad

He can't even name a single English club that would beat Real Madrid this season. What's he gonna say if Madrid beat Villa, Arsenal and Liverpool in the UCL next season? "The luck continues"? He's a one dimensional analyst.

Y Benzema se fue por sorpresa, y nos dejó sin delantero,Ancelotti ha hecho magia este año

😂😂😂😂😂😂. He is like that always. He is a clown

Check the stats he was right except for the result. Not a fan of Simon but City better in both legs. That's cup football.

He wasn’t wrong was he. Battered them in Madrid as well. 😂

​@@sidbob1215​ madrid are not the ones in their prime its city .madrids kids are not even peak prime yet and a few old legends. They don't even have a striker. I remmeber city without a striker struggled for few years.. plus city have one of la ligas best coach to back them. What do u expect...

@carlheald9228 Except for the result 😂😂😂 that’s a massive exception

Big game team, big game club, elite mentality club, elite club. They can win games and trophies even when they aren't amazing.

I also remember that final against Atleti….

Winning on penalties it's pure luck, nothing else

@@brunokalonji9874if Oil cant buy you luck then nothing else can😂

​@@brunokalonji9874 Vazques in 2016 was spinning the ball om his finger before he took the pen in the UCL final, he was juggling the ball yesterday 😂. Rüdiger told Lunin where Kovacic would shoot and Kepa told Lunin where Silva would shoot. It wasn't luck, these guys were looking like they just got out of a lunch session at Madrid's training complex and were about to do a penalty training.

But he doesn't he just love to hear themselves. All english ppl are like this

I support any club that ain't mine and wanted the results last night. I can't stand Arsenal and Hate city. You are factually wrong English clubs have 15 Madrid 14. No excuses Madrid are top . The first 5 were played and won when many teams especially English teams didn't play in Europe. It was Manc united that went first at playing . I think it could be PSG's year they look good but are bottlers . So, it could be Madrid's 15th for REAL.

​@@Jim-qm9xfso we shouldn't count the first world cup won by Uruguay? What kind of argument is that😂 . How about every world cup before South Sudan officially become a country?

@@danmero6864 who is arguing? Oh you! Did I speak to you? See ya. I am watching the footie . To your question 🤔 yes , probably. Why can't you read and make a discerning judgement? Oh, you think it is edgy to argue . I am staying facts. Bye.

@@Jim-qm9xf @Jim-qm9xf no, I think you should make a better argument and don't hide your point between the lines. The fact that RM is so consistent that it holds the best record of any team in Europe even without the first 5 titles that didn't include the precious English teams reflects pure class

Madrid said to city ok bring it on show us what you got. City folded when they threw everything at Madrid to no avail. 😅😂

also when he repeatedly calls Leverkusen "levercowzen"

😂😂😂😂

Yes they have all the money but aren’t allowed to spend it, because the old elite clubs (of which I am a fan of one - Liverpool) bricked it and forced the powers to introduce not fair - fair play rules

Real Madrid is The most successful Team in Europe

Most successful team ever more like.

@@Rodney231uefa killed seri a to promote la liga

He's acting as if non of the City players wouldn't dream of joining Madrid.

They have been objectively lucky in the competition for a long time now…

@jimmytoothpaste1757 luck helps you once or twice not your whole history.

Which has rubbed off on Bellingham since he arrived. A "superstar" quality which sees them continually throwing themselves to the ground screaming in agony to miraculously jump back to their feet in an instance. The time wasting even before they scored and the constant whining to the officials was hilarious.

​@jimmytoothpaste1757 it's disingenuous to label it "alot of luck" - if you're unlucky all the time you suck at what you do, if you're lucky all the time alot of skill is involved too

😂😂😂

Southgate = 14 international trophies 😂

The REAL slim shady.......

Defending so well??? A big club park the bus with a trailer attached to it for 90min, and you call it defend so well really???

@@brunokalonji9874yes they got their goal and we’re very good defensively, Man City had lot of possession etc but we’re limited to hardly anything in terms of chances, Madrid gave them no space at all in the box, They done a job on City and went through, outstanding defensive performance.

@@brunokalonji9874arsenal did the same thing against city home and away, atleast Madrid tried at home

VARdrid got lucky 😂

@@brunokalonji9874maybe you didn’t watch football in the 90s.

THey did, but they are not a good footballing side.

​@@MrBarry465They're a brilliant footballing side, Man City are just better in that department.

​@@MrBarry465keep crying

⁠@@MrBarry465man city must be trash if they got knocked out by them at home 😂

@@dannybradley8391 Small but important correction: Man City are better in the *ball possession* department., which doesn't always equate to a consistent creation of high quality chances when facing a style that hard counters possession-oriented teams like the catenaccio pulled off by Madrid for 100+mins. City had 33 shots with only 9 on target and an xG of 2.7, compared to Madrid's 3 on target with an xG of 1.4. Taking an even closer look, Man City's xGOT (for shots on target) was actually only slightly higher than Madrid's at 1.79 vs. 1.46, meaning that City potentially only had a second goal in them the whole game after all of that possession, after all of those shots taken and all of those crosses and corners put into the box. That second goal was probably De Bruyne's missed sitter but what Madrid did so well for so long is to reduce all of that control over the game that City had (particularly after Rodrygo's goal) to just ~2 high quality chances in 120mins. One of those went in and the other, well if you're playing a calculated numbers game to get to the penalty shootout where arguably you might have the upper hand with more experience (and intel on the opposition thanks to Kepa and Rudiger)...reducing the opposition to a coin flip on one, maybe two chances is as good as it gets in reducing the effectiveness of the opposing team's high possession percentage. City are obsessed in having control of the ball (like most Guardiola teams do), but Madrid and Ancelotti made sure that obsession was largely inefficient and far more ineffective than usual with a disciplined and resilient display of Catenaccio while still maintaining a somewhat reasonable xG of 1.4 across the few chances they had overall. It's neutralising your opponent while still maintaining a credible threat on the counter attack. The difference between Madrid's Catenaccio display and the park the bus of say a Luton Town or most other teams is that Madrid can still keep high enough xG numbers on the break while also holding City's to within arm's length, resulting in a low xG difference between the two that unsurprisingly led to the penalties. A 'park the bus' team would also have 11 men behind the ball but crucially with something like 0.5xG or less, and typically in a league game where that side are playing for either the 1 point draw or even to simply avoid racking up the numbers in the Goals Against column, and then roll on next match. Conclusion: Wednesday night was just one example of what Madrid do best on this stage: they know how to win 'ugly' when necessary and play the numbers game to seize victory out of the jaws of defeat, more than any other club in the history of the UCL.

Man City 1 treble VARdrid 0 there goes your entire point

​@virtuallimit3619 u take treble we take ucl back to back.

@@depressedk1id428 will you really 🤔

same here. it was fun while it lasted!

I know right Like damn Madrid must have some genie in their back pockets 😂😂

As Bellingham said when Madrid showed interest in him he didn't want to sign for anyone else not even Man city.

City have eliminated them twice in recent times as well. They actually deserved it though unlike Madrid.

They’re acting as if City didn’t miss their penalties

They adapt to luck there's nothing special about them
