The Greatest CHOKE In The History Of Football 

Thanks to a greater curse in Harry Kane, Leverkusen have broken theirs

Michael Ballack suffered the most. He carried Bayer Leverkusen to every single trophy and germany to the 2002 World Cup final and loses it all. Then he loses the ballon dor to Ronaldo, who did NOT deserve it. Ballack deserved it

Under xabi Alonso it's BAYER "NEVERLUSEN 😂😂😂😂

Don't forget this was (even despite their UEFA cup win in '88) by far the best season Bayer Leverkusen ever had... until now.

Tbh if the stuff that happened to Leverkusen in between 1997 and 2002 happened in the prem everyone would be saying its the most exciting league, the bundesliga was the best league in the late 90s early 2000s

They will win the Bundesliga this year ⚔️⚔️🏆🏆⚽⚽⚽

As, a german i can say. Michael Ballacks career and story is just crazy. Carried Germany for a decade, carried Leverkusen and partly Bayern & Chelsea to great success many times. Yet he was, kinda rightfully proven Germanys performances at WC 2010 & 2014, cast aside. Great player of his time but he was eaten by modern football since people like Lahm, Neuer Schweinsteiger and Kroos took over

Bayer Leverkusen was the first team to reach the final of the Champions League without ever having won a national championship. In addition, five members of the Bayer Leverkusen team were also members of the Germany national team which lost the final of the World Cup of 2002. 2001-02 season, Bayer Leverkusen finished second in the Bundesliga and lost in the 2002 DFB-Pokal Final. UEFA Champions League final 2-1 to Real Madrid, which also led to some of the English-language media dubbing them "Neverkusen".

One thing that gets to me is the disrespect for Ballack. Dude was tall/strong, had great technique, could pass/shoot with both feet like they were his natural ones (which is sth thats going missing in todays game), had under appreciated ball control/skills/passing ability, sure he was no mbappe but he had some deceptive pace as well, and man those headers?!?! Michael Ballack was an amazing all around talent. Not a jack of all trades cuz he was amazing in multiple aspects of the game, not to mention his fight/will to win (despite his many failures to do so which honestly were not his fault).

I liked this Leverkusen team had outstanding players from Lucio, Pogatez, Placente, Ze Roberto, Remelow, Basturk, and Neuville, I was heartbroken when they fail to win anything

Michael Ballack brought many fans to the joyful game. I'm one. Miss seeing him.

"So listen to this..." will always be an iconic line, I will forever enjoy your content!

Neverkusen was hunting them for so long, probably the worst "Treble" (Petition for a video about Cafu: Week 15, Day 98)

Who is here when Lever Won Bundesliga title

The curse of Harry Kane is so powerful that it 1) ended Kingsley Coman league winning streak 2) help to lift up Leverkusen curse. This means that England will finish second in Euro24. Bet on it

Leverkusen unlike in 2002 are now one win away from breaking the curse. Until now Bayer Leverkusen has never won the Bundesliga title in their history and now Xabi Alonso are one win away to achieve history. Alonso took over a side that was fighting relegation last season and since then they could become the first team ever to win the treble without a single loss. Incredible.

today Leverkusen won the League...i waited since1998 for this moment (became as a 13 year old fan of Leverkusen)

That team was soo good back then! Just take a look at the players they had. It was such a shame they didnt win a single trophy, maybe one of the best teams to never win anything.

And they finally did It with an unbreakable record. First club to ever win thier first Domestic title with an Invincible season.

With Bayer Leverkusen about to be winning the German Bundesliga this season,this video is a motivation for the team to focus on winning the title with a win,good friends!!!They are going to win the league this time and they will do this against Werder Bremen,good friends!!!LONG LIVE BAYER LEVERKUSEN AND GERMAN FOOTBALL!!!🇩🇪

This is the best football storytelling channel on youtube. There is something about this guy's voice and accent that is very nice to listen to. Still waiting on a Kenny Dalglish video

3 heart attacks was because he was over 400 pounds mate. We are getting a bit carried away here.

Botafago last season was a bigger choke. Leading with 13 points half season and finishing outside the important top 4, which qualifies you for South American Champions League.

The day you uploaded the video,Leverkusen won the league

Ballack didn't just lost all these finals,he also lost his SON!!

Thank you for the video. Great memories and enjoyable to watch

and this is why 2nd place hurts WAY MORE than last place

I love your Intro! So.. Listen to this.. simply iconic!

Fun fact: The teams that beat Leverkusen in 2002 in each trophy were not that "winners" either. Bundesliga champion Dortmund lost the UEFA Cup final that year against Feyenoord. DFB Pokal champion Schalke failed to qualify for the Champions League, a year after narrowly losing the league title. And Champions League champion Real Madrid (which was celebrating its centenary) lost Copa del Rey final in Santiago Bernabeu and dropped from league leadership in 33th matchweek (finished 3rd).

All that is history now. They are the Champions 🏆

leverkusen getting save by harry kane curse

Here's a list of interesting videos to make: Arsenal's Invincible run Mourinho's 2nd run with chelsea Dortmund under Klopp Miracle of Istanbul

OMG im getting shivers of how good football was back then! Seeing all these legends and the matches they played! This will never, never, never be the same! :/

keep up the great work

Well, the curse is broken finally! I'm happy for them! Greetings from a Sporting CP fan

u kno its a good day when ts man uploads

Hopefully, history doesn't repeat itself. Victory will shine on Bayer Leverkusen this season.

Whos here after the they lost the UEL Final

Keep it up bro❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Who here after the Lookman hat trick?

Sooooo i love this channel ❤😊

I was there at that time. Now I fully enjoy and I am just proud of that whole club with all its people ❤

"So listen to this" I love that intro 💯

Who is here after they defeated Werder Bremen and clinched the Bundesliga!!! 🏆

Most youngsters are gloryhunters, but I was almost on the other opposite. This season was my 2nd football season overall. I was little child and didn't understood a lot. But when I saw how Leverkusen suffered in the end, they became my favourite team and also I hated Real and BVB a lot back then(because I blamed them for 'stealing' what was Leverkusen's. After a while I stopped hating on BVB because I saw they are not so great and just were lucky that season, but for Real(and some other similar teams) till this day I hate them for so many different reasons. They are just full of them. But that year was so bad for Leverkusen that made me suffer with them in the end like they are my home town team.

8:03 “I never thought it would be so easy to bottle a treble” 😘😉

i love your videos!

Leverskusen should thank Harry kane without him they wouldn't be champions

As a Spurs fan I felt I could fall back on calling Leverkusen bigger bottlers than us, but I will probably not be able to do that anymore because one of our own legends joined a team in the same league as them bringing an even bigger curse 😭

Leverkusen winning now Stay winning Xabi

Do a video of Benfica's treble tragedy in 2013 as well. I know you'll love doing this because you're a FC Porto fan lol. But try to remain unbiased please, Benfica was playing amazing tiki taka football at that time and honestly deserved all three trophies.

2002 Bayer Leverkusen is also the one of the five teams in history that had players in World Cup top 3 teams in that year. -Gold: Lucio -Silver: Ballack, Neuville, Ramelow, Schneider, Jörg-Butt -Bronze: Baştürk Other teams were 1998 Real Madrid, 2018 Barcelona, 2022 Tottenham and 2022 Atletico Madrid.

Another great video! Please as a portuguese comrade allow me to make a special request since in this video you were talking about German footbal... Please do a video about Sebastian Deisler...

It took Kane's curse to break curse on Leverkusen. My man is next level cursed

goated youtuber

People forgot Kaiserslautern

I was lucky enough to follow the season of this team on champions league back on the day, the team was so good, and was the base of the German national team that they also lost on the final. The champions league final was an amazing match with one iconic Zidane goal. And the debut of maybe the best spain goalkeeper on history. Because of the injury of Cesar. Casillas was a wall in that match

The UCL final was a bad day for Leverkusen and the starting of a great career from Iker Casillas.

update !! leverkusen won this year league title with xabi alonso !

I never seen this as a failure. But i remember the importance of their Libero Jens Nowotny....playing phenomenal.... holding the defense together. Then he had a incredibly bad injury....and it all went downhill. Leverkusen was playing above normal level...in the end it was the lack of experience and leadership. But damn....what a year.

Alonso and his team have rewritten the history

You knew you gonna enjoy the video when it starts with : "so...listen to this"

And now they have done it. Xavi Alonso brought the bundesliga while being undefeated (yet), and they are still on track for europa and pokal so worst case leverkusen gets the bundesliga, best case they get an undefeated trebble. Regardless, Xavi Alonso transformed neverkusen/wizerkusen to neverlosen and that is a legendary feat :)

ze roberto, Ballack, Berbatov, Lucio, Neuvile... under Klaus Topmoller. Wow wow wow... this was football.

I love your vids can you pls do one on benni mccarthy 🙏

Im watching this youtube channel and my son vame into my room and said "i know what are you listening to...its daily dose of football" Even teenage boys watching your channel

Xabi Alonso really rectified this mess up

The ‘so listen to this’ is just in every vid I saw

Leverkusen made me know who is ballack and his nickname (Mr. Runner-Up). At first, i didnt understand it. But after i see his carrer, i have sympathy for ballack. The only man who get 4 runner-up in the same season twice (2002 & 2008).

Xabi Alonso turned Neverkusen to Neverlusen

Can you do a video on former International Serie A & Primera División legend Marcelo Salas, there's just something about el matador that screams swag and epic the way he plays

Talk about Tele Santana, and the team that conquer the world twice in 92 and 93!

Ballack2002, 2nd in bundesliga, 2nd in UEFA CL(everybody knows that goal in Glasgow), 2nd in WC (had to miss the final due to YC in Semi). Ah life can be cruel sometimes.

Please make a video about Pippo Inzaghi (Month 2)

Michael Ballacks downfall was that he looks and plays like the second Beckenbauer but outside the pitch comes across as the stereotypical East German. That combination confused many people who first put him on a pedestal because of his talent (he was the nations sole world class player of his entire generation) but then ditched him as a loser because he is "just an Ossi". In retrospect people should admire him, in spite of his ill fortune. If you rewatch the matches of Germany with him you will see how a sole midfielder almost turned the tide when Germany had not a single striker and he stepped in with scoring in almost every single match.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KEKDBeBhRPA.html unforgettable ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NLo28x2AHew.html

The cup is ours. Leverkusen has won the league and are on track to win the Europa League as well, but the DFB Pokal will go to Kaiserslautern. Mark my Words. We are the most notorious giant Killers in german football. An unbeaten Trebble season comes to an end at the hands of a struggeling 2nd tier club. Overwhelming ods stacked against us? Nobody giving us a chance at all? Thats comfort teritory for us! We will write the most incredible underdog story in german football since our Nationla Championship in 1998 as a freshly promoted team. Kaiserslautern is back!

Do an episode on Dragan Mance his story is incredible

Through all of this, Ballack was the most unlucky. He got through this treble of horrors not once, but TWICE. And when he got the chance to redeem himself, all he got, was a career ending injury a week before the 2010 World Cup. He deserves a seperate video tbh

Need a video of Marcelo the best LB in the World 😭😭

Ballack2002年拿了四个亚军，也是个传奇了

Ballack would get his teams to finals and always lose them Amazing how one player could be like this Its like the jimmy white of football, how jimmy white in snooker kept getting to snooker world championships finals, and always lost them

Never: ask a women her age ask a man his salary ask leverkusen fans what happened in 2002

Bro where are u from? Cause ur portuguese is so good.

Micheal Ballack the unluckiest player ever

This is probably the most compelling episode of daily dose 16:14

I feel so sad for ballack, he was such a great player

4:34 this time there are 13 points clear of Bayern

Any chance for a video about Matthew Le Tissier?

Vais fazer um vidéo sobre o Leverkusen deste ano?

Congrats for them for winning it!

Sounds like the German Spurs

WHOS HERE AFTER LEVERKUSEN WON THE LEAGUE AND DFB POKAL WITH 0 LOSSES IN BOTH

Can Leverkusen please, please, please win the league undefeated 🙏🙏🙏

Ok, it's been 22 years now. I still think I remember that one of Leverkusen's regular players wasn't there for the last few games due to doping rumors (???). I could also be completely wrong

Do a story about Hagi!!!

this season, 50 games no losses (overall)

pls don't whisper in your vids

Neverkusen + Xabi Alonso = Neverloosen

Why did u remove the Zlatan video

They will break the Vizekusen curse tomorrow
