Will Real Madrid be FAVORITES in the Champions League with Kylian Mbappe? 🤔 | ESPN FC Extra Time 

Exactly, the way we all see it Mbappe needs Real Madrid more than they need him

Mbappe is the kevin durant of football.

@@bouzaineanis4458plz mbappe ain’t done nothing yet compare to Messi or Ronaldo I need to prove himself

Of the Refs and Var yes

@@bouzaineanis4458he should stay at PSG? What about his WC performances?

@@CG68810 cry louder. You have to be a certified re-ard to suggest that Real Madrid which is UEFA's enemy number one, as they are actively trying to replace it with Super League, has even the slightest influence over refereeing in European matches. Not only that but even if Madrid had done such a thing in the past Uefa would have exposed it long ago. But keep crying as I'll watch my fav club in a UCL final for the 8th time. lol

Gab was being sarcastic about it. I think he simply wanted to say that Real Madrid are a bigger club.

Very astute point.

True..., mbappe going to royals... 👎🏻

Plastic Franco fans Can smell them everywhere

​@@eL--RaLBroke Varcadogs Can smell them everywhere

​@@eL--RaL franco?

Bayern falling off? They were 10min away from going to the final…

​@@akimlaberge-touat362they had lost the game even b4 it began!!

A lot of players have shined quickly at 18. Don’t be surprised if endrick pops off as well. Remember he scored the winner against England at Wembley

True but if you see him play, his mannerisms, the kid looks like he's ready to go right now

@@bbqboss_8712Nah he’s gonna need time. All the kids from Brazil needed time to adapt. Neymar Vini Rodrygo Robinho Casemiro etc. They all played way better in their second and third seasons whereas they struggled at times in their first seasons. It takes time to adapt to a new league and new country even for an experienced player from the same continent. It’s much harder when you’re young and coming from all the way on the other side of the world

the only thing that i worried about brazilian superstar is their love of party.. if they can control that, they gonna win balon d or.. not being judgemental here just sad that many potential superstar go off the grid because of lifestyle.

@@label967 Endrick is like the last guy to go out partying, so it's fine.

yes coz they bribe refs

Their only way is the road to refs

@@eL--RaL why u everywhere crying about refs

Camivinga will solve that

Bellingham would probably fall further back into midfield from next season. Ofcourse Kroos leaving makes that more of the picture that makes sense.

@@eL--RaL this is madrid not brokelona, brokelona now in shambles because no negreira, no fifaboy and uefaboy anymore

They will be only Kroos and Nacho are leaving, they will sign a replacement for nacho, bring in Davies, mbappe endrick then search for a controller like Kroos during the new season

You do realize that it's question from viewers right?

Honestly as a football fan i know you became Madrid fan in 2022

@@eL--RaLtry 2003 and you would be correct bud

@@MoodKill3000Lol, he might not even be an actual Real Madrid fan 😂

​@@eL--RaLthis guys keeps crying everywhere

Lol you can't be serious. Madrid need a player like Mbappe. A natural finisher and a player that will attract a lot of attention from defenders. Can you imagine the freedom and space Vini will have cos 2 defenders are worried about where Kylian is? When a player like Kylian is available, you get him, no questions. It's the coach job to figure the rest.

Every big team pays refs, there is a record of that. Real Madrid also had a fascist dictator on their side for forty years, that seems to have helped them get established.

Allegations that’s what they are, the fact you’re taking it as fact when there so substantial proof is ridiculous

@@Kevon420 Franco been gone since 1975. You can’t attribute their recent success 50 years later to that.

@@orvilfuentes5444 Paid refs = transferred more than €7 million to companies linked to the former vice president of the refereeing committee, Negreira. Whether these payments were bribery is unknown but there is no explanation Barca gave regarding what these payments were for. I like Barca, I just hate when people keep pointing to the refs and VAR for RM success when substantial evidence suggests the opposite of that

Becuz Barça is struggling financially

because they are football

Because Madrid is the most important football club in the world and where every player dream to play.

Aura

@@eL--RaL my mistake. They used a player that used steroids to win championships

Nobody pumps money into Real Madrid. They are a social club owned by the members and "stand on their own merit".

I swear this guy can't even list Madrid's squad in 11/12

That's not how it works kid, if penbappe was that good, he would've helped psg to win it after all those years.

​@@eL--RaL Casillias Carvalho, pepe, ramos, marcelo Alonso ozil khedira Ronaldo benzema higuain

@@manygoodmen Google really helps

@@fatih8053psg is not Real Madrid you retard

Your a fool😢

Defense will always be fine with Mendy, Rudiger, Yoro if he signs, and Carvajal. As backups, Militao, Alaba, Cafucas, Rafa Marin, Mario Martin and Davies if he signs. That's strong enough.

already have the best defense in Europe

@@strawhatsgear5th Give me Davies for LB (I heard that will happen next summer) and Hakimi for RB (I heard there is mutual interest but nothing actual).

To mention Militao is coming back from one of the most difficult injuries to recover from and it was mostly Madrid’s B team.

Mbappe will feel how little he is when he arrives at Madrid. He will bow to the Emblem.

🙄

From what sources? Madrid is different than PSG.

they don't play 4312. they play 42 and the rest switches between various setups in game depending on the situation. And Camavinga is better than Tchouameni in midfield.

@@abody499 Camavinga might be better overall (i don't agree but the difference isn't so glaringly obvious in favor of Tchouameni that i'm willing to dispute your opinion because you might be right) but not as a DM. Cama's biggest weaknesses are getting caught out of position, losing the ball in unfavorable positions or sometimes overcommitting in his challenges while some of his biggest strengths are his ball carrying ability and his front foot defending / pressing. All weaknesses and strengths that don't translate well to a CDM role. They're great in a box-to-box role but Valverde is better still in such a role. IMO you have to play a CDM, leaving 1 spot for a b2b which would go to Fede.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm glad you have a well developed view of this situation, because I haven't seen many who have. Interestingly though, much like your view of Cama, I see Tchouameni's flaws as the most critical possible for that position. I'd be interested in which examples you have of Cama getting caught out of position especially. It's not something I have noticed about him. I agree he can sometimes lose the ball, but from memory, I think that happened mostly while he was playing inside left. But it's also something that was more prominent in the past - he seems to be tidying up those kinds of errors (to be fair, I do think Tchou has improved on his main error too, which I'll get to below). On his challenges though, I totally disagree. I think both are great tacklers, and I have to admit that recently Tchou has made me question my opinion on that front, but I still think Cama edges it on tackling. He has great desire to make the right tackles at the right time. By that I mean being proactive and stopping anything developing, rather than allowing play to get into danger territory - incidentally, this is something I like about Carvajal, especially early on, and think was the difference in losing semis and beginning to win CLs. Anyway, I think Cama is slightly stronger in tackling. His timing is impeccable. His elasticity gets his legs around players perfectly, and he's strong. He does go to ground, but he rarely gets beat when he does. I wonder if the yellow cards he gets puts you off on this respect? For me, DM was my preferred position (in my very amateur "career"), and I do think there's a lot to it that rarely gets spoken about. But sometimes I honestly get so frustrated with things like the yellow cards Cama has received that I feel like not watching football again. The physical side of the game is something I really enjoy watching, but it's being diluted and there's no consistency in officiating. This is especially bad when it comes to Cama. Some of the cards he's received are just bewildering. At one stage it seemed like he'd come on from the bench, make any tackle at all, and immediately get booked. Positioning is (part of) everything. What I mean is, firstly the job is to be in the right space - to know where the angle is that cuts off the pass and to be where it's possible to track the runner goal side. This is the crucial element as I see it, and it's where Tchouameni's worst trait comes out, i.e. *ball watching.* There are so many examples to choose from with him, and I noticed it almost immediately when he arrived. Go back to his first games, and while they were all victories - I think RM won the first 7 games or more that season - but there were goals leaked in most of them, if not all. He was responsible for them all, or at least his ball watching made them all possible, when a more decisive player - Casemiro for example - could have stopped them. A couple of more recent notable examples are griezman's goal in the cup match v Atleti, and Gundogan's goal in Barcelona. In the first, on the highlights, the sequence begins just after Vini loses the ball. Pause it there - that's when Tchouameni should have reacted in the first place. He should have been immediately closing down that ball as it moved towards Griezman, but he just watches. He does the same throughout that whole play, watching the entire sequence unfold with zero intention to do anything about it. This is exactly what his job is to do - be aware of danger unfolding, and stop it from happening. There are so many times when he is in a position to do something, i.e. goal side, then ultimately the runner ends up past him and scoring, with Tchouameni watching from behind. It can be seen a lot for France, too. I don't understand why Deschamps, of all people, doesn't seem to catch this. I think Craig Burley on here has been the only pundit I've seen speaking about it (while discussing the Griezman goal). The gundogan goal in Barcelona, apart from his weird pass into no man's land, then highlights his ball watching too, as he began goal side of Gundogan, who then just breezes past him to challenge for the loose ball. He just lets danger unfold in front of him. But to be more positive about him, I think his attributes are most obvious when he's played CB. I think he has everything to be a legendary CB for Real Madrid, because he seems to operate better when he knows he's the last line of defence, and can see the play coming towards him, rather than being in the middle of it.

Madrid's decision could be costly. The acquisition of Mbappé could alter the balance of the team

Bellingham has the biggest chance to win Ballon d'Or this year with Madrid winning CL and England winning Euro.

How is she underestimating Madrid? She probably understood the club much better than all of us here, since she worked for Real Madrid TV back then.
