Title contenders in England: -Man City knocked out of the UCL by Real Madrid -Arsenal knocked out of the UCL by a Bayern Munich team who's 16 points off the top of the Bundesliga -Liverpool knocked out of the Europa League by Atalanta, who's 32 points off the top of the Seria A Best league in the world my ASS!

English pundits will always be biased for their league and their teams. They usually underestimate other teams. They can't see beyond their English league bubble, which usually bursts. Finally, they will always have a hard time accepting defeat.

I am an English RM fan I have had nonsense talk levelled at RM for 0ver 30 years now

This Real Madrid is young. Most of their player yet to hit their prime. Its amazing that they are still able to do it. Imagine a team consisting of Bellingham, Camavinga, TOUAMENI, Vinicius, Rodrygo 4-5 years from now.

These English pundits are deluded and salty.

I stopped taking that guy seriously when he was quizzed as to why big players are choosing REAL MADRID and he said its 'Because of the weather' in Spain. He speaks eloquently but when he has to talk about Madrid, he loses all integrity. You can see why he never amounted to much as a pro footballer. He's a dishonest individual who thinks he's being honest and you cant go far in life if the person youre lying to first is yourself

They don't seem to understand that Madrid is the best in the world, miles ahead of city

Real Madrid outplayed City in the 2-legged tie. For the 210 minutes played, Real Madrid was ahead for a total of 116 minutes, City for 18 minutes and the game was even for 76 minutes. City led 1-0 for 10 minutes and 3-2 for 8 minutes at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid led 2-1 for 52 minutes at the Bernabeu and 1-0 for 64 minutes at Etihad. Man City was only ahead for 8% while Real Madrid was ahead for 56% of the 2 legs. Man City were totally outplayed.

This is the same thing Mourinho was arguing years ago. Once Pep and Barca skyrocketed to fandom, everyone felt that possession meant “controlling” the game. You can defend and control your opponent. Man city, when attacked, are not great at defending. They just hold onto the ball more than the opponent.

My man not only protected Real but also supported Bayern… Big up man!! These pundits r delusional they always underestimate European Royalties !!!

"... Real Madrid dominated a knockout cup..." - Real Madrid having won 35 National League titles. 😂

we are not here to play beautiful football, we are here to WIN. Madrid is not here to play, Madrid always wants to WIN. “The Real Madrid shirt is white. It can stain of mud, sweat and even of blood, but never of shame!” #halamadrid ❤

What makes Real Madrid different from these one timers is that we win games in which we are not dominant or even playing badly , for teams like Man City a lot of things has to be perfect for them to win 😂😂

Champions league is hard to win for a reason and for me the best team always wins it, no matter how you play, its about the mentality on and off the pitch. The best teams are always in this competition, which is why you always have to take your chances or else you will get punished. City didnt do enough, they can have all the possession they want, but if they dont score its useless. I hate when people say "City is still the best team in Europe". Like why do we even play Champions League then? Like just give the trophy to them already. The reason why we play Champions League is to find the best team, and this year City were not among the best.

Even Steve McManaman, a former Real Madrid player, sounds very critical of the Team during his commentary on TNT Sports. It is the English pride. Fortunately, we keep disappointing them.

Their biases are suffocating

It's a knockout league. So is Euro, So is World Cup.

Bayern and Real have won the UCL/European Cup 20 times between them (14+6). What’s the number for Arsenal and Man City? ONE !!!

To think that these guys are getting paid big bucks as “football analysts”. All they know about is English football.

English media said real would not win the prem forgetting leicester won that shit 😅😅😅 unbelievable

big up bro Jamaican here love your vids or reaction sometime english pundits bias we know this some people are delusional

No Premier League team in semifinals of Champions League and Europa League despite being by far the teams spending the most.

They said the same about ATALANTA, completely disrespected and underestimated them. Then they go and put 3 away against Liverpool at ANFIELD. Complete Idiots!!!!!

All the talk yet Militao just back from injuries no Courtois no Alaba. The second leg Militao can't start our best defensive midfielder missing we playing with wingers and a midfielder up front lol have anyone ever watch Manchester city playing without Rodri they rarely win games without him 😂😂😂

I am a Liverpool fan but I give huge credit to Real Madrid for going through. Some English pundits seem to omit the fact that some key players for Madrid were missing due to injury. Ancelotti is a great manager…it is incredible to see superstar players working extremely hard and non stop running. If you think Simon Jordan is bad…look at the recent nonsense Paul Merson has been saying on Sky Sports from his analysis column.

The knockout tie argument loses any value once you play over TWO LEGS! Man City had over 210 minutes to beat Madrid and they COULD NOT! Madrid should have won the game at the bernebeau, frankly they were the better team and they cut city open numerous times. City only managed to get a draw due to Madrid wasting clear chances. So for this guy to come here and not only try to diminish Madrid but also the Champions league as a tournament just goes to show his extreme bias and lack of knowledge.

"a lottery". Lunin saves 36% of penalties while Ederson only saves 10,5% before that penalty shoot out against Real. How can anyone say its a lottery with odds so skewed. Sure Real doesn't win every time with those odds, but a lottery? It made sense for Real to go for the shoot out with these stats in mind in ET.

Why should we even acknowledge the critics. Let's ignore the English league and their one eyed view.

1. Real Madrid is a team in full rebuild mode and people don't seem to notice because they are still winning. 2. When you don't have the best keeper in the world and both starting center backs that change your game plan. 3. Aurélien Tchouaméni was suspended for the game and when you are in full rebuild mode you will have a very inexperienced bench.

Is this guy Jamie Carragher's dad? xD

I am not a Bayern supporter, just the opposite, but you cannot ridicule yourself more than by claiming Arsenal to be a better side than Bayern. Even Arsenals better teams during Wengers tenure have been kicked out regularly by Bayern and it never was a close call. Even the worst Bayern side in 10 years has proven to be better than the best Arsenal side in 10 years. As for Real Madrid I wonder if English pundits actually believe their nonsense themselves. By now they should have realized that defending is part of the game, and an important one.But still they come up with nonsense like ball posession, shots on goal and corners, without realizing that these stats are meaningless if you don't score goals.

The brit said, Real Madrid's champions league prowess is undebatable. So he decides to debate it and makes himself foolish. The man actually loses an argument with himself.

"It's a knock out competition" So is World Cup, this guy has no idea what he is talking about.

Ok, for a normie to say City were the better team at Etihad i can kinda understand, not everyone understands defending is a part of the game, but my man goes on and says they were the better team in Madrid too...? Like, what?? In the game where Real missed 3-5 amazing chances and was creating left, right and center while city got saved by 2 absolute wonderstrikes? Dude is the major of Delusionville.

English pundits should be crying more.

Let them cry while you collect another CL and La Liga title. This Real Madrid side is young, hungry, and extremely talented. If they can hold out on their own against Plastic Cheats and their oil money, what will they be able to do when they add Mbappe, Endrick, and Davis to this RM team? And Xabi will probably become your manager in 2/3 years. The future looks bright for Real Madrid.

Deflected goals 🤣🤣 That pundit pissed me off

English pundit doesn't know anything outside of the Prem. One Stat they won't mention is the out of the 210mins if football played. City only led for 16mins. For the majority of the game, they played Pep's anti-football, passing without any end product, and that's how the control games because they don't like football, football has two teams matching wits and playing skills not one that don't know how play without the ball.

He says Real Madrid were hanging in there but I tell you City could've been there for 10 hours and still wouldn't have scored a winner. The low block was basically the anti Man City kryptonite. The interesting thing is that Real Madrid don't usually play that way. Their the only team in football with such a high level of adaptation. They are capable of doing exactly what the game needs in order to beat their opponents. Whereas some other teams only know one way to win and one way to play football. In this case that was City's limitation. Of course many other teams try to do what Real Madrid did but in the end they end up getting bashed. It just shows how impressive their commitment to the cause is.

These kind of folks are the only reason England isn't guaranteed to win anything with the national team. The impact of people's perception on national team is extremely underrated when it comes to the performances.

He is a failed football club owner and he sits on the radio like he his some fountain of all knowledge I wouldn’t worry to much about what he says

If he downplays the importance of the Champions League, then he can always claim that English teams are the best, because the Premier League is "the best league in the world" and losing to Germany teams, Italian teams, Spanish teams, French teams or teams from any other country doesn't matter.

A Trinidadian in the house, great video you always tell the truth not like those bias jokers they been bias for decades that will not change!

I only have one question for these experts: How is it possible that Real Madrid has played in 12 of the last 14 semifinals of the Champions League?...

Talksport is clickbait. It's their business model to have outragerously bad takes on various sports. Most Britons also seem to be completely oblivious to the corruption happening in their own league and PGMOL, and as a result relatively overrate their own top sides. Or maybe they know, but have been instructed to stay silent on the topic.

This clown makes Luis Garcia sound like a genius 😂

I literally saw a few off there videos every time I end up closing it

Wouldnt go to extra time if rudiger scored that 1v1 as well

Pep, Arteta, Emeri, Iraola… all of them coached in Spain. Some Laliga big clubes learnt years ago how to compete in Europe.

Lol Michael Richards almost cried but this Simon guy is going through some real pain 😭😭😭😭 😂😂😂

Penalties are not lottery. They were expected and better prepared by RM.

I get simon's point on the champions league which the super league was supposed to address...rather than it being knockout football it be a league table format with points

“It’s a knockout competition”… my brother in Christ so is the FiFA Workd Cup!!!

While I agree that real Madrid play can be underwhelming from time to time, let's not pretend that cities games are snoozefests for the most part. No excitement. Their luck that they don't have any fans to worry about being bored by watching them.

Many or most of the English pundits have this poor opinion of Real Madrid. Just becos Don Carlo Ancelotti set RM to play a certain way in the 2nd half of the away leg against Man.City doesnt mean RM are a poor side. MADRID have a better understanding of what it takes to win than most English Teams. That's about it...

AND PLEASE LET US NOT FORGET Real Madrid did it without their main Goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois !! One of the best Goalkeepers in the world... if not the BEST Goalkeeper in the world

I think it’s pathetic when you can’t accept defeat with grace.

Fentanyl be fuckin with their minds

Did city do the same to Atletico Madrid 2 years ago. They packed the bus. Now englisman commentator forgot about it

This man is an embarrassment. The statistics are there to define how a game proceded. Now if a team has over 30 corner kicks, 10 target on goal, 75% possession, etc. and you can't hit the net neither win, then what is the point of these statistics? Real madrid is an elite team globally and we've won 14 UCL titles and this number is bigger than most leagues including England. Now you want to tell me all this performances across football generations real madrid "manage" to win these competitions. May be you forgot how much we invest in building a competitive team, hence, top notch players. I think somebody need to show you a flsh back of all the games we've played in the UCL. Do you remember coaches complaining including Pep, when you are tied to real madrid spot. He said this is the third in a row. Any team in the whole if European leagues that is tied to real in any stage is great burden. Man City is a rising team even in England. Don't you that if a team defeats real madrid is a luck but on the way if you are defeated by real madrid is a trash. We should eliminate arrogance in football and this is the problem of English football. What do have as nation and teams in a nation. Almost all the English analysts have given a higher percentage of winning probability to Man City and that is fine but when it doesn't happen, adjust to the realities. I've said this that real madrid is not struggling team even though we've register high list of injury toll which could have seen us eliminated in the UCL and not able to lead the laliga table. Do you think this is a mare lottery? We've been playing without a natural striker and Bellingham as midfield player score more than normal strikers. We've lost our first choice goalie and today Lunin has adequately filled this gap and in fact was one of the reasons Man City could not break through. We're not talking how we defend but rather talking celebration because you are like untrusted analysts. Our glory is far beyond any team in Europe so keep quite. Man City and England could have won this game, yes, but you so arrogant while real madrid and Spain were humble. We went to Man City to teach them to be humble including you. Nonsense.

Lmaoo this comparison doesn’t even make sense

basically city spent arab billions and racked up 115 charges to play beautiful football that doesn't win trophies? corners and ball possession are now the new metric to judge football prowess. is simon suggesting that if it was a full league format city would win it, basically like they do the EPL? before the second game, simon was thumping his chest claiming city would bash madrid.after city were bundled out, it became just a knockout competition and the EPL's stock rose immediately to become the benchmark for football excellence in europe.amazing how just 120 minutes of football can change a man's perspective on the beautiful game radically.

It's all about beeing efficient in all aspects of the game,attaking and defending.20 years from now no one will remeber how "beautifull" Man City played but looking at the archoves you'll see the winner

I hope to be alive 2 seasons from now when the rebuild is complete and see if they will have the same energy.

Knockout competition played over two legs, like in every league.

That’s enough internet for today 😅😂

I've been saying for years that match victories shouldn't count in 2-legged ties. Like, yeah, Chelsea "beat us" at the Bernabeu in 2022. Juve "beat us" at the Bernabeu in 2018. But it's not really a victory, because the result on the night doesn't matter, only the result on aggregate. Saying a team won a game in a 2-legged tie is like saying a team won the second half in a league game. There's no such thing. If you win the secind half 1-0 but you were down 3-0 at half time, that doesn't mean anything

English pundits think they are the oracle of football - I'm a Welsh football fan so have to put up with their bias whenever I watch footy. English pundits always expect England to win each competition also and are really harsh on the team when they (always) get knocked out. Jim White is Scottish and you could tell even if he didn't have an accent

'I'm not diminishing it' While diminishing it the while time

We literally have the most league titles in Top 5 Europe leagues, not just Spain. They are so salty 😂😂😂

"Little England" mentality.

What is his name SIMON or SEMEN? How does it pronounce??😂😂

Hala Madrid! 🤍

Try to win 3 UCL in a row, try to knock out city without four important players - Courtouis Militao Alaba and Tchouameni….

people think that real madrid only wins that way, with resilience and suffering. they forgot the 3 straight champions leagues where real madrid pretty much obliterated the opposition with good football. it's just a trend to criticize the most successful team in history.

The problem with people like Jordan (whose knowlege of foreign football is virtually zero) is that many listeners to Talksport who may themselves know little about the game in other countries will believe what he says, because he sounds articulate, sounds like he knows what he's talking about. 2 years ago, all he knew about Frankfurt was: they took 30,000 to Barcelona, lost to West Ham 40 or so years ago and were 9th in the Bundesliga. Therefore, according to Jordan and other English 'experts' West Ham will beat Frankfurt. Anyone with any football sense would have made Frankfurt favourites.

Knock out competition! There is a group stage. Hello!

I like how they're trying to say real Madrid wasn't the best team in their league six weeks ago. Meanwhile how long was Liverpool and arsenal in first place

He is there to explain why Man City is not in semi finals, but he didn't manage to do it.

champion league is not beauty contest , beautiful football beautiful football

Basically, he’s suggesting that PL is better than UCL and PL clubs are the only elite teams out there 😂

They didn't know that Real Madrid changed their ways before the start of the season. It's all based on how Real Madrid were in 2022/23 seaaon.

Of all the English tv pundists Rio Ferdinand is the most neutral in predictions

Simon Jordan lost my respect two seasons ago. So I am not surprised he is saying these things. I could imagine how he will rate Jude Bellingham since he is not in the premier League. Truth is it's possible that some English pundits are being paid to say these things as well.

Overconfidence. You‘ll always find them overconfident. God knows why.

I just enjoyed watching these english pundits being humbled and hides tears😂.

They lack respect and that is why they don't win any international cups.

English pundits, 🤦🏻‍♂️, I often wonder how come one will dress up like this just to come online to talk total rubbish and to think they get paid for this makes it worse. 🤦🏻‍♂️

These pundits should just go and listen to Pep’s after match interview. 😌

Loser mentality: They defended and didn't let us win. How dare they? These delusional pundits and some fans who only speak from an emotional perspective, never understand that defense, tactical intelligence, and positioning are part of the game. I wanted Los Blancos to win just to "taste" the salty tears of these pundits.

Even when he says he's giving madrid credit, stating FORTITUDE, he immediately says penalties are a lottery, ergo madrid-lucky. But Fortitude and Penalties Go together. He claims FORTITUDE, and then says City found a way to lose the tie, ergo City's to lose. But even Guardiola says theres nothing else they could have done because breaking down the low block was hard. Theres no accreditation in this pundit's speech, every credit he gives to Madrid he takes it back immediately by claiming 'luck' or 'City failed themselves'. His true Emotion is that Madrid are like Failed coach Southgate. A comparison that requires you to look for a needle in a haystack but that needle isnt even there cause when does Southgate find a way to when Finals, when does Southgate find ways to win the toughest games? Southgate bottles, he doesnt win

English Pundits are sooo dry when it comes to football hot takes… dreadful

And then Madrid beat City and Bayern beat Arsenal lol. These pundits are hilarious

This people live in their own bubble like Americans😂😂😂

Their jealousy of Madrid being the biggest club in the world is laughable

I feed off of their salty tears!

I remeber pretty well this same discussion with liverpool fans, different cases because money but city is a platic spineless club, don't be surprised the next time with mbappe we give them their very wanted RM experience like we did with Liverpool

Real Madrid has WON again city over 2 LEGGED TIES 2 times out of three. And they still label it lucky. Martin quite reasonable actually but Simon Jordan only watches match stats and possession etc (+ English biased) and picks the match winner out of these statistics. He disregards goals.

How can you be the better side but tie in both games🤦🏾😭😭 English fans are delusional. So every time City scores your telling me they make a mistake and concede a goal? Guess what that means your team lacks defensive focus and only plays had when they have possession

Deflected goals?! But what about the goal of bernando silva? That was pure luck
