Neuer kept them in this tie singlehandedly, but one mistake and it's over. Being a goalkeeper is tough man

On your criticism of Madrid’s celebrations, A Por La 15 means “all out for the 15th ”. Not disrespecting any opponent

Answering your questions. ●The Chair is a celebration that started when David Alaba did this spontaneously when Real Madrid did the came back against PSG 3-1 now Real Madrid do this to celebrate. ● What is written in the t-shirt is again tradition for the last few finals "A por la 15" means something like "Let's give it all to get the 15". You can find photos from Real Madrid with "Vamos a por la" 12 ,13 and 14 There are a lot of traditions that Real Madrid follows and once they are installed they could last years or even decades. Thanks for your videos quite interesting.

Vini Jr is inevitable man. Hes so good that Madrid know they only need one ball into him to have a high chance of scoring. And it happens EVERY SINGLE time. Dudes up there with Neymar for me

That shirt says a por la 15 which means lets go for the 15th .. theyre not saying weve won the 15th

Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen is a game I'd love to see. The amount of late goals would be impressive

Real Madrid is as good as it is because it's the only team in the world with that level of quality with no "defined" play style. They adapt to whatever they need to adapt. If they have to keep the ball, they do it. If they have to defend, they do it. If they have to attack constantly, they do it. They understand the beauty about the sport and life itself. This is why Ancelotti has beaten Pep three times now. Pep might play "better football". But his style is so incredibly rigid, it becomes insanely predictable. Easy to counter. But as a Madridista, I notice how we suffer a lot more against teams which do not attack us constantly. We don't like it when the whole initiative is handed to us in a silver platter. We ironically become less dominant as soon as the other team refuses to attack. We thrive on mistakes made by the opposition.

There is a footballing God. Joselu was let go by Madrid. He was asking for a link to watch a Madrid match in 2012, he also went to Paris to support Madrid 2 years ago as a fan.

Real Madrid also wore a por la 14 shirts after getting to the final in 2022 and it worked out pretty well

Madrid do the "a por la ...." every time they go deep into the UCL recently, definitely for the last 2, its more of a mantra for not giving up

'vibes-y' is the best way to play football! Why would you want your team to be mechanical? Football is a game of emotions...everything else is less important. Stringent systems are for people who can't entertain. You can say what bayern could have done then the madrid players will adapt differently. It is all about flexibility and playing off the cuff....basically playing football and not a mechanical training drill.

@JamesLawrenceAllcott In answer to your question, in the celebration Rudiger raises a white steward's chair and then gives it to Alaba in commemoration of what Alaba himself did spontaneously raising one of those chairs when celebrating the last of Real Madrid's goals in the legendary comeback against PSG in 2022.

Can’t believe how no one has mentioned the parallels between this game and the tie against city 2 years ago. A winger scores a great goal for the opposition team around midway through the second half. Madrid losing 1-0 on the night until they bring on a sub who manages to score a brace within a few minutes at the end and Madrid end up going through

The shirt just means 'let's go for 15th'. But even if they were already celebrating it.... The last time Madrid lost a european final, Ferguson wasn't even at Man United yet.

A por la 15 is just a battle cry, a call to action. That's not a self jinx.

The 15 on the shirt says ‘let’s go for 15’ it’s not like they’re already celebrating wining the trophy

The chair was held up by Alaba during Real Madrid crazy come back against PSG in 2022 in an iconic image. Yesterday Rudiger gave the chair to Alaba.

Real Madrid always celebrate passing to the final with a shirt saying: let's go for the 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, so I doubt there will be any jinx about it this year either.

Manuel Neuer won't sleep tonight. Horrible way to lose.

Real Madrid fan here: Real often suffers in league matches and needs late winners. People who only see us in UCL think it's some Real Madrid UCL magic, but the truth is that it's a sort of psychological resilience that we've been refining for ages. It's also thanks to great physical preparation from the physical coach Antonio Pintus. Lastly, Real Madrid had to compete with Barcelona all the time in the Guardiola era. We've been built to counter that exact type of football for a long time, so for Premier League viewers that kind of football is weird to watch and judge, since in EPL positional play is often viewed as THE way to play football. I don't think it's wins looking for us, I think it's just the way we play, striking late when the opposition is tired both physically and more importantly - mentally. And of course, I feel bad for the offside call Bayern got. Awful decision, I can't blame Bavarians for feeling salty about that one. It should have never been whistled.

Joselu was never more than 3rd choice striker during his time at Newcastle … behind Dwight Gayle, Ayoze Perez, Rondon, Yoshinori Muto, etc. Football is a crazy game

Former Stoke strikers at both ends

Real madrid do this every time they make the final, it means lets go for the 15. They did this for the 14,13,12,11

WDYM how its the spirit of friendship....... don't complicate it💀

After such a goalkeeping masterclass A mistake took the headline for Neuer. Honestly, Being a GK is hard

Bro trying to explain the unexplainable

The chair is from Alaba celebration of Benzema's 3rd goal in 2022 against PSG

Real Madrid after being 3 - 0 down at the 90th minute: "Hold my badge"

As a Madrid fan I’d say Madrid definitely make their own luck, it doesn’t just come to them. If a comeback or winning when you’re “playing worse” (or just defensively) happens once or twice, then it could be lucky, but the amount of times Madrid does it, it’s more than just a coincidence. They deserve credit just as Dortmund do for getting past PSG with a defensive masterclass. Also I think the “a por la 15” (“let’s get the 15th””) thing was done before on some of their previous champions league campaigns. I don’t think it’s meant in a cocky way, I think it’s a bit of a campaign to get the fanbase hyped. I guess they’re not that superstitious!

I Believe wearing the 15 shirt shows confidence... they did the same two years ago with after wining vs Man City and wore the 14, and they were fine.. they won it. at this points, curses and stats won't work on Real Madrid any more!! Hala Madrid.. A Pro La 15!!

I understand that the offside goal was annoying for bayern but if not for the whistle that was never a goal as the shot was abysmal and easy for Lunin and defenders stopped defending before the pass to De Ligt. Other than that the win usually finds real madrid not the opposite in my opinion however today Madrid dominated. Lastly Vini was incredible and absolutely destroyed kimmich and if not for neuer it was at least 2 goals and assists for vini.

Madrid might be lucky to get that first goal, but Bayern were even more lucky they didn't concede up until that point.

madrid are the jammiest team in the world it’s actually mad

Real Madrid did the same exact thing for the 14th champions league title. They had “A por la 14” shirts after beating Man City. It proved to be anything but a jynx….

Knowing Ancelotti his instructions to Joselu was probably some like " Go and make history" and nothing to do with tactics

Missed the part where Real Madrid was lucky

If Real Madrid's 7 titles were invalidated, it would continue to be the biggest club in the world. If Negreira FC's 7 titles were invalidated, they would be without any and owing 2 to UEFA.

every time real qualifies for final they got a t-shirt that says A Por La there's no disrespect in Real Madrid they respect their opponents very well

Actually imo one the best assets that Joselu has is staying on side by a small margin. After that offside whistle was blown I was immediately sceptical about the call because usually Joselu read these moments really well.

Awesome vid man

As a Madrid fan, I've seen us lose a lot of matches where we gave it a valient effort but come up short. I understand how those who only see Madrid play in the Champions League think that Madrid is inevitable and they always win, but it's not the case. It's hard to say we are lucky when I believe we deserved to win Wednesday and almost lost it to an incredible goal. We always seem to be labeled as lucky teams rather than good teams, and I believe that's English bias. I don't think English media and fans value defensive abilities and always want goals and only goals. In Spain and other countries too, there's a beauty in keeping the opposition out of your goal and win 1-0, and that's how Madrid plays sometimes is a defensive, hit you on the counter, mentality. After every semifinal, Madrid has shirts that say A Por La (fill in the blank). That's how we keep winning is that we're never satisfied with what we have, and we want more. This is the first final in a while where I feel as the favorites against Dortmund, and I'm not sure how I feel about that, but we shall see. Love your content, and thank you for this video. You're the best. ❤

In the last 10 min of official time of the game , you could see the rhythm real played with . They find the win

The players know how to win, the wins don't find them. They take the wins by the throat. HALA MADRID

James has doubted Ancelotti and said he was overrated. Since then he’s won a UCL and is in another final.

This vid made me throb! I’m not a bot, I just love James ❤

Aren’t linesmen supposed to wait until the end of a phase before putting the flag up so that you can check VAR for goals and offsides etc? Why did the linesman put up his flag immediately for the disallowed Bayern goal when he shouldn’t? Or is it only the Prem that they wait to put the flag up? But now because the goal technically “didn’t happen” as the ref already stopped the game, we will never actually see the real VAR and see if for sure it it was offside or not 😕. I could be wrong but I didn’t understand it at the time 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

I'm a Madrid fan, and after wasting so many chances, I thought we were going to lose because Bayern would do to us what we usually do to other teams

The chair was for Alaba, he brought a chair for some reason when we won against Paris two years ago at Bernabeu et Rudiger gave him the chair for that.

Can you do a set up video, showing what you use etc

8:13 what app is that? or web?

10% luck 20% skill 50% concentrated power of will 5% pleasure 50% pain And 100% reason to remember the name

I’m an American. I played in highschool. I remember one of our rival teams used to use inswinging crosses from zone 18 all game long. They beat us at their home turf doing it. It’s brutal to defend if you’re not used to it. I was the goalkeeper. That was one of those moments that got me fascinated with tactics. I needed to know how to help my team defend against those chances. And that kickstarted a whole lot of learning. Glad to see this sort of play finding new spaces in the top flight of the modern game. When I play rec league now that I’m older I like to sit in that half space because I find it’s one of the best spots to pop off dangerous passes and flicks. I’m pretty slow now but there’s generally enough space to receive balls and turn. If the ball comes from the middle it’s just a half turn. I can play with both feet too so I can pop in inswingers or outswingers. I could go on and on. Glad you highlighted it

The chair is a recurring meme ever since alaba used one to celebrate vs PSG in 2022, the 15 shirts are saying 'Let's go for the 15' its not like theyre celebrating it, its just hyping themselves and the fans to go hard

I'm not saying Bayern are the best team in the world, what I am saying is if they gave Kane some bloody service they'd be a lot closer. as daft as it sounds, there's been plenty times this season where it's honestly seemed like they're trying to protect Lewandowski's record

Madrid always wear A por la shirts since like 2014 man

Real Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen Super Cup incoming. The only important thing about this game is that both sides will score in injury time!

I disagree with your analysis of the second goal. Great play from real to get vini in that one-on-one, he's always going to get something from that sort of situation. The ball bounces in front of Neuer, always unpredictable, and it bounced higher than Neuer expected, it happens. However, look at Josolu and Dier, Dier has 2 yards on him, he should be protecting his goalkeeper in that scenario, just in case. So Dier made the crucial error in that goal, not Neuer.

Its impressive how well RM has adapted to new personnel and a new style after the BBC frontline retired

The chair lift is a reference to Alaba’s celebration after Madrid beat City in la remontada. The picture became iconic in Spanish media and caught up since then.

As a Real Madrid fan I still think Neuer is the 2nd best goalkeeper ever after Lev Yashin.

That’s weird you find it off. It’s Real Madrid tradition of the last decade to do this in the semi final or even before. And safe to say it’s definitely mot given us bad luck

this was the most inevitable result ever. we all knew this was happening as soon as Joselu came on

There's a lot of history behind that Shirt you talked about in the end They're wearing this shirt "A por la 15 " which means All out for number 15 at the end as they did at the end of every qualification to the final of the Champions League since the 10th it became a tradition and haven't lost any of these 5 finals they played .. it's a bearer of luck more than jinx I think

Madrid did the 14 shirt thing before playing the final against LFC and won. It's their way of playing mind games on the opponent and boosting their mentality monster status. God I do hope Dortmund wins this!

The shirt thing means "A POR LA 15" which litterally translate for "Go for the 15th", which is a thing madrid always did since I remember so get your informations well next time

Vini and Joselu got that indomitable human spirit

As a Madrid fan, the room always finds them, to answer your question. Its all about letting things happen naturally and letting the footballers use their instincts. Complete opposite to most teams these days and I think its great to see natural football winning over the genetically modified stuff you see teams like City, Arsenal doing etc

We still remember the loss in 2012. That was the most lethal team of Madrid past decade. Glad we have beaten Bayern in every tie since then.

they always do it with the shirts, for the 14 they did it aswell

Very well, sir. Don't let Google Translate spoil your narrative crafted with so much effort.

Alaba did a celebration with a chair a couple of years back. That's why Rüdiger took the chair and gave it to Alaba

Its just magic

Real Madrid had Por la 14 before the final too, they wore those shirts.

ok.. the chair: It was a beautiful gesture by the awesome Rudiger to his mate David Alaba, thats going through a difficult period recovering from injury... It starts In the heat of Real Madrid's unforgettable comeback against PSG 2022 in the road to our 14th UCL, Alaba went completely mad, and while others were just piled up and jumping one over the other and towards the supporters, Alaba knocked a stewards chair and suddenly, he picked it up, and hold it up in the air facing the fans, just celebrating mindless after such a brutal comeback.... It went viral and some supporters mimmick it!! Remember, Rudiger was in one of the teams, Chelsea knocked out by Madrid in that same manner... so i guess he wanted to make participate to Alaba, of this great moment in such a difficult time... Rudiger is priceless!!!

The interchange and fluidity of Madrid’s attack is why I think mbappe will be way much better there than at psg where he’s been asked to do specific things

At this point it has become indictable.. its a looping effect. When clock goes beyond 85, most of the teams with 1-0 down or 2-0 down would feel… “aah we have lost tgis game, no way we gonna score 2 or 3 in 5mins” and it induce to players as well. Slowly as clock approaches 90 players n fan start giving up, thinking aftermath of losing. For RM since they hv done it so many times, starting long ago from cl final against atletico, when clock turns 85, fans start believing opposite that now RM gonna score, they believe more they support more, and in that case players get that vibe and they also start believing and in that moment oppsoition team also now knows “aah shit its last min they are gonna come at us” so mentally u get under imense pressure, u know its comming n then u make mistake. So Rm start believing that they are gonna score and so as opposition team start believing that they are gonna come at us.😊

It says we are going for 15 and its always been like this. When we won the previous ones we also wore them. Its the culture around here

isnt theyre doing the aporla 14 after the match against city in 2022? thats normal

The title should be ‘how Bayern broke themselves

It's a bitter match, but different from the others one in the UCL, Real Madrid actually played well

I think at this point even the opposition teams believe something will happen in the last 10 minutes and they expecting the comeback! It's not an easy thing psychologically so even an experienced player like Neuer will make a deadly mistake!

By making onside into offside.

Because Bayern signed Harry Kane.

Rudiger is imitating Alaba from 2022, hence why the chair is handed to him by rudiger at the end of the match.

That's not odd...we did the same.e thing when we beat City for our 14th and still won it. That's the difference with us. We believe that we can do it while most don't even believe they are where they are. Real Madrid beat the most difficult teams to get to the final, whereas Dortmund will be telling themselves that they wouldn't have survived what Madrid went through. That's psychology at its best

I think tuchel cost Bayern the game and it’s common for managers to do that. He should’ve started Davies but didn’t because contract disputes. If he benched Gnarby and brought him on later the game is different because Bayern has to healthy attackers.

We dont, we always use "All out for the *input number*" and it always works out. We're stating that we're going for it, not that we already got it

To be fair Real Madrid has always done “A por la 10/11/12/13/14” at the semi final

Real Madrid put out a banner A Por La 14 after beating City in 2022 and went on to win in the final. No jinx when it’s Real Madrid

Didn't a player get injured in the PL last year on a play that was a clear offside but the linesmen kept his flag down until the play ended? That's why you flag obvious offsides to reduce the risk of injury in those plays

Football heritage

Kane said he was injured. He played the whole game he couldn’t play on for like 5 more minutes?

they did the same thing for the 14 and they won the title so the shirts ain’t gonna stop them

2023/24 feels like it's been scripted. Would've been even more scripted if Girona stayed in the title fight. Bayer keep almost losing just to not, Real keep looking like they're gonna get knocked out of the Champions League but they don't. A 16 year old kid is playing week-in week-out for one of the biggest clubs in the world and actually looking amazing. Mbappe is actually finally going to Madrid and Ipswich just got double promoted.

Uh neuer decided to become karius that’s how

Olver Kahn had the same mistake in the 2002 world cup final after keeping Germany in the game for the whole game just like Neuer did for Bayern. Shit happens

theres no jinx when it comes to madrid I watched 6 ucl finals and everytime before we seemed too confident but no we win every single time, and no it wont be easy against bvb but when that final whistle is blown madrid are going to be 15 time cl winners

Real Madrid always puts on a shirt displaying APorLa x after each qualification for the UCL final and they always win it, I'm rather surprised you've come to notice it just now.

The scenes if BVB win the Ucl against Jude's Real Madrid !!!!!

Bayern should have tied it with that last goal that wasn't even checked. RIGGED.
