The Puskas - Di Stefano attacking duo of Real Madrid was deadly, they dominated Europe for half a Decade until a younger Eusebio came along and won the Champions League with Benfica.

Puskas was disqualified from playing football in his prime, from 28 to 30, as he ran away from comunist hungary, so his legacy could have been so much bigger had he played in those 2 years of prime. Absolute legend

Puskas made his career look like he was playing fifa player career mode on amateur difficulty and sliders

Thank you for highlighting these less talked about greats of the game! Not just Puskas but many of your videos cover and give proper credit to players from older generations that many have forgotten about, and as someone who finds the history of football just as fascinating as the modern game, your videos are absolutely perfect.

Hey man the major Difference between these players in their 30’s and Puskas…. He went to a more difficult league and won it all multiple times!!! These other players went to worse leagues. Not only that he missed to years of his prime!!! He is the best striker of all time.

Being overweight definitely doesn’t mean unable to play good football. I myself used to play football being overweight. Could pass, shoot and outrun almost most of my teamates in practice matches. However, I also was the one with the lowest stamina due to my extreme effort to cope not only with tiredness but also the extra weight I was “carrying”. Therefore, it was really hard to make it especially in a high level, without change in eating habits.

Funfact: Puskas is one of the four players in history to have 300+ goals and 300+ assists in his career alongside Messi,Pele and Cruyff. Absolute legend🇭🇺🇧🇩

Homie was just having fun his whole career

Puskas was some thing out of this world He’s Argentinian team mate at Real Madrid was a robot Alfredo distefano

Question: Was the hungarian league he played in really a "farmer's league"? I mean the hungarian national team in the 50's was by far the best national team around. Like you said they were dominating other teams and only lost one time in almost 7 years. Wouldn't that suggest that the hungarian league would have had very strong competition during that time as well? Also you said that that Puscas was under the radar for the rest of the world until he left Hungary, which is not true. He is known as the first real big international superstar in football. And he really became this famous sensation while playing for the hungarian national team.

What a player, my grandparents left hungary during the 1956 civil war - but my grandad would tell me stories about watching the national team around this time.

Respect for this video, Raymar. I'm a Real supporter. I've read and watched quite a few about this legend. He was one of one. You did his legacy justice.

Crazy to think one of his Hungarian team mates had a better goals to games ratio for Hungary. Sandot Kocsis

He later became a coach too and spent some years in my home country Greece 🇬🇷, he is quite famous . He coached a great Panathinaikos team and led them to the European Cup final where they ultimately lost 2-0 from Johan Cruyff’s Ajax. Till this day Panathinaikos is the only Greek team that has participated in a final of a European tournament (They played against Nacional too the same year at the intercontinental cup because Ajax refused to enter fearing the violent game of the Uruguayans … the Greek team paid the prize at the end 💀). He later coached AEK too.

Can you do Sir Tom Finney he is highly underrated and and is one of the most loyal players who also rejected a world record transfer fee whilst simultaneously being a plumber who is barely talked about

i watched some highlights when he was adden as icon in fifa dude was insane for his times

He was way much better than Alfredo di stefano don't forget the fact that he joined Madrid in his 30s still became top scorer for the club

Puskas is really a definition of pure footballer than Hazard.

I was once reading about Korean football history, which included the vs Hungary game in the 1954 World Cup, where we lost 9-0, and Puskas got himself a brace. The author interviewed the goalkeeper, who mentioned that when he dove in vain to block Puskas' shot, he actually remembers hearing the sound of wind from the ball screaming past him.

Puskás es a TOP 3 Madrid players of all time imo. He and Don Alfredo elevated our club and made it what it is today - the greatest club in world football. Eternamente agradecido!

Shocking that there arent that many videos about Puskas, hes in the GOAT debate for sure (Day 4 of asking for a vid about Cannavaro)

Till Eusebio came, Puskas and Di Stefano dominated all of Europe at Real.

For me puskas is the greatest forward❤

And he also has the most assists in history, and he is the only player to score 4 goals in a UCL final

Thank you again. Learning so much!!

The closest "modern day" case that I can think of this happening would be with Ronaldo, being very fat and out of shape during his late 20s and early 30s and still somehow being able to dribble past top defenders and run at 30mph speeds. I love when this happens.

When I was kid, I bought our newspaper and in those newspaper was one book as a present(I gave someone that book and never saw It again, remember one thing-Never loan anyone book because they will never give you back). Book was called "Secrets of dribbling" and of course in book was Puskas. When Puskas was little kid, he played football on the Budapest streets with Josef Boszik and other friends. One day, Puskas came to his mum and said:"Mum, give him something to eat, he played football better than me today". That was Puskas, always full of praise to his opponents. When Dragan Džajić played some friendly game against Real Madrid he destroyed their right back(Sol was his name I think), and Puskas applaude him. Big man was Puskas, to bad he died from Alzheimer, he didnt deserve that. Respect from Serbia. ❤

Was this video skipping around for anyone else??

My favorite striker, Ever. 5. Ronaldo (the one who won a World Cup) 4. D Bergkamp 3. T Henry 2. S Kocsis 1. F Puskas

Please make a video on Dixie Dean and his 60 goal season in the English Top Flight. I was casually scrolling through the top scorers in the English top division and am surprised by how he is not mentioned amongs't the likes of Di Stefano, Puskas, etc, despite the genration gap.

they were built different back then. Legend.

It is interesting how he signed for RM and not FCB. Considering Barcelona want independence from Spain and have wanted it for as long as I remember. Barcelona signing a player like him would’ve been very fitting and perhaps could have changed the landscape of football with RM maybe not winning the first five and FCB winning 2 of those last 5 and adding another in 1966. It would’ve been a huge 🖕 to the mainland of Spain had they snagged who may have been the best player in the world at that time and not RM.

Great video 🎉❤

That was a different era, as there were no where near as many people playing the game. There are billions of players worldwide now and you have to be physically fit to compete with the best. In those days the game was slower and talent was all that mattered, he couldn't play in today's game

Raymar you were born to story tell and make football mini docs

For whatever reason an unpopular opinion but for me Puskas is the GOAT. Goal a game, 0.6 assists a game, nearly won the World Cup with Hungary, Hungary! Also couldn't play football for 2 years due to political reasons, then casually went to Madrid, scored a goal a game in his mid-late 30s, retiring with the European Cup.

Great Video!

This is the award pendu fans celebrate every year, Bet they don't even know Puskas played for which country. Kudos to Reymar for making a dedicated video to a legend!

Could you do a video on someone from the mid-80s everton teams? Neville Southall, Peter Reid, Graeme Sharp, Kevin Sheedy, gary stevens etc could all make pretty good videos imo.

What video should I make next? 🤔

I think Puskas case is similar to Juan Manuel Fangio in Formula 1. They both shined in 1950s when they were 30+ yrs old. It's clear that back then athleticism was a bonus, not a necessity. They compensated lack of that by being absolute masters of their craft in terms of intelligence, precision and decision making. Astonishing

He played like a cross between Stoichkov and Maradona. Postecoglou trained under him and was inspired to stick to attacking football.

CR7 bicycle versus Juventus not winning the Puskas award is criminal.

Legend

Great vid as always, would love to see you talk about Di Natale or Miccoli as well!

Thanks for the video. I think he is still underrated a little bit, and he was better than other European players except for Cruyff. His stats and records are amazing. A player who had one of the most goals and assists of all time.

Hungary mentioned! 🇭🇺

With his body he probably sent flying those skinny defenders and the goalkeeper feared his goals

Next video should be on Carlos Alberto please 😊❤❤

Öcsii! 🇭🇺

“being so out shape to point where he literally looks like one” diabolical 😭

This makes me love Real Madrid even more. This club always knew how to take risk on talent. Puskas is definitely a GOAT. He did so much, and went through so much, but he played soccer better than everybody 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💐👑🫡

Not mentioning that hes the only player to score 4 goals in a european cup final is criminal

Josef Bican Next, Please!!!! ❤❤❤❤

I'm surprised nobody talks about that epic handshake with slight bow

Greatest Striker of all time

8:45 fish puskas got me on the ground

Some context though: At those times,south American club/country football was stronger than Europe. Thus some of these European records are overstated and do not hold the same weight as records in European football from the 80s and up. Di Stefano was a sub in River Plates Maquina and destroyed the Spanish league and European competitions when he was past his 30s. Independiente beat real Madrid 6 -1 in the old Chamartín stadium in the 50s.

I missed the times when footballer are in different shapes and sizes in their physical features. Some small and lean, some bulky, some tall and thin, some players with one big pack. But they're ballers, true ballers with natural skills. Nowadays everyone's going to the gym trying to get that standard shape🤮

OMG i love you sooo much thank you for making!❤❤❤❤❤

nice video

Wow this is so inpiring

A chalenge for you I belive, Dejan Savićević should be in some of your video!

you should make more defender videos

Where was the goal that inspired the Puskas award for the most beautiful goal? Have you ever heard of Chekhov’s gun?

I "love" arguments like "he was only good because he only played there or there". Yes, sure, must be why such players can then deliver on the international stage. With that logic I might also make an argument that Messi wouldn't have been as good if he hadn't played for one of the greatest Barcelona teams of all time. Cristiano Ronaldo might mot have been as great if he hadn't played for great teams for most of his career.

What is the background music that you are using in this video?

that one friend in school football

Real Madrid legend

Bro is a knock off, daily dose of football

Hi, can you do one of the baddest betrayals of all time Sol Campbell? 😊

can you make a story video about Josef Bican

Hello bro kindly make a video about Elias Figueroa. I read about him that he was the greatest center back from South America. I tried to find more information about him but I couldn't. Kindly make video about him..

Blud looks like christian bale 💀💀💀

anyone know what's song name in the back ground ?

bom video👌

Bring back the chunky strikers build!!

This is the reason why in my opinion Puskas>R9. I don't get why ppl say"too many injuries and lack of discipline" caused R9 to not be the best. It was his choice on the discipline part. Injuries nobody can control. but still if Puskas can take Hungary to a WC final and not get a draw due to office shoes his level.

1. Pele 2. R9 3. Puskas 4. Marco van basten 5 Gerd Muller

The actual GOAT

Great video otherwise but i have to disagree with the idea that a lot of Puskas’ goals were scored in a “farmers league” Back in those days there were essentially 0 transfers between countries, so national teams were almost always just the selection of best players from a given country’s domestic league. Therefore i think hungarys dominance in that period, as well as the amount of top quality players they produced in the era, shows that the hungarian league was in fact one of the very best leagues at the time.

As a 5’11” 270lbs soccer player

bro hates salah💀💀

"How was he able to score so many goals even when he started to slightly resemble one" -💀

why reupload ?

double it up with florian albert

Let's be honest, one of the greatest midfielders of the late 50's to early 60's wore glasses!😅

Why do you reupload ur past videos??????!!

Bro plz review your videos u sometimes mess up the montage . Great videos otherwise ❤

it was not "farmer's league", they were finalists world cup

Am I the only person, or is this video actually a repost of the video made years ago

Fractured bone and still played the final 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ they really were built different back then 👌♥️

why is the audio on all of ur vids so choppily edited at points, just cutting off entire sections.

In Spain the only thing we can't stop is Real Madrid's referees. We can handle pretty much anything else

With Di Stefano, he is the best footballer from the 50s.

What are you including in his goals to jump up to 806 is it second and third division youth national team, Olympic goals because this isn’t counted for players like Messi or Ronaldo, or anyone else for that matter for modern players not preseason friendly Puscas is a fantastic score one of the greatest of all time, but official goals is marked 707 or 740 something at most or 730 something

Is it Roger Black?😂

what is this music

genuine question, who was better Di Stefano or Puskas?

Hazard should have learn from him.
