Top five Champions League teams.

SPEAKER_00 0:14

What he said. Top five our favourite top five Champions League teams. Finalists, winners.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

No, not necessarily.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

Oh, I've just gone winners.

SPEAKER_01 0:25

Yeah, obviously I have as well, but it doesn't have to be.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

Yeah, because you ain't gonna pick a fucking Monaco. Oh for you. Well, in bat okay. Final. Final.

SPEAKER_01 0:36

Yeah, they did. Fernando Moriente's up front. David Treza gay all that with him. David Trezagay there that one. I know Moriente was up front.

SPEAKER_00 0:46

I think he was. I can't really think that.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

I know that you I know that he was at he was at he was at the top with Juve, weren't he? Him and Dalpiero. Tresagay. But then I don't know if he went. I know he went back to the wheel.

SPEAKER_00 0:58

Well that fucking baller as well, Tresagay. Unbelievable. I used to fucking love him, man. I thought you meant Dalpiero though, then. No, Dal Piero's a baller as well, obviously, but Trezigay is amazing.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Well, so how do you want to do this? Do you want to read them all off or do you want to go team for team? I thought team for team. So we can discuss it.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

I said we go team for team to discuss it. I'll let you take the the reins on this one.

SPEAKER_01 1:20

I was gonna do honorable mentions, but you guessed it. I was gonna say Porter, but you fucked up early, so I don't have to bother. I tried to think I was gonna say, I was gonna say the early 90s Milan team, go rogue, but I don't listen. I know they were class, I know the players that they had, but I don't really know them that much to discuss on and talk on.

SPEAKER_00 1:36

That's fair enough. So in fifth.

SPEAKER_01 1:39

Alright, I preempted this here, and I've gone for it. I'm going for uh 2025, 2026 winners PSG.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

So you've gone for the team that hasn't even won it yet.

SPEAKER_01 1:48

I'm saying they're gonna win. I'm I'm yeah, I'm I'm preempting it.

SPEAKER_00 1:51

Fair preempting it. Well not last year's PSG though.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

That's what I'm saying. 25 winners and 26 winners, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 1:57

Oh, you're doing a double?

SPEAKER_01 1:58

That's what I'm saying, yeah. The double so 25 winners and 26 winners. I'm saying they're gonna win this year, I'm preempting it.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

That's that's fair.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

I think just look last year, they were fucking just they were such a dominant team. Like, considering it's a farmers league and everyone ever always written them off, and they've just so they've not been the same. Well, that well, I don't know. They had a bit of a stumbling block as well.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Both times have had a stumbling block in the league, and they've just come out and fucking smashed things as they've gone up. Yeah, that's that's I'm saying that pitch. I was I was thinking about PSG to be fair, the last year's one, but I don't know why I didn't put it in. You've got some notes there. I've just got a few. Yeah, I was putting it in just so I can remember.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

I've just put the teams, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 2:39

No, I'll just put it in just so I can remember, so I've got things to ratt rattle on about. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I in fifth, I went man city.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

I was gonna do that and be professional, but I thought nah, just wing it. I was literally talking to my phone, just wing it so then people look at him and go, he ain't got a clue what he's fucking talking about.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

I've got Man City 22, 23. Okay, undefeated. I think De Bruyne had the most I think they were undefeated, yeah. I'm pretty sure they were undefeated. I don't know, I don't know. Um obviously it was their treble winning season. I think De Bruyne got top assists in the Champions League Champions League. Haaland got fucking I don't know, about 10-15 goals, something like that in between, smashed it, and they were beating teams throughout the knockout stages, ridiculous score lines like they beat Leipzig, I think it was 8-1, and then I had down they beat Munich 4-1, Real Madrid 5-1 in the semis, and then obviously they played that inter Maland team, they made it hard on themselves. I remember Rodri scoring that goal outside the box. But apart from the final, the whole way through, there were just obliterating teams, and I think you've got to put them in there just for their performances leading up to the final. The final was a bit of a shit. I remember watching it thinking this is crap, but I did write them, man, and plus it's a treble winning season, so they had a lot of games to play. So I went with Man City.

SPEAKER_01 3:59

So you got Inter Milan in your list then? You've got Inter Milan in your list.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_01 4:04

Treble winning team.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

I know, yeah, but that I know what I did.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

I did have that Inter Milan team in, and they were they were they were no, they no, I did have them. I'll took them out. I did have him in, and they were gonna be another one of my honourable mentions that I mentioned earlier, but you went, yeah, but you're just gonna go rogue and say someone like Porto or Inter Milan. So that just threw everything out of you a couple.

SPEAKER_00 4:23

That's why I never put them in because I can't I can't really fully fucking remember.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

But that inter Milan team.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

Yeah, that yeah, they had Eto and that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

Julio says are they had um fucking uh Lucio and Walter Samuel at the back.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

See, now you're saying it, I'm remembering the team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:41

Diego Melito, man, how good was he was?

SPEAKER_00 4:44

I just don't I don't recall that Champions League at all. Yeah, man, so I couldn't re I couldn't feel like I could put it in. I couldn't put it in just because I I can't sit here and go, yeah, but it's not a good thing. Sully Montari come off the bench. Sully Montari, what a name, man. Portsmouth.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Mario Ballotelli won a Champions League in that. He was on the bench that was fucking mad. Mental when you think of it, I like that Mario Ballotelli's got one. Crazy. You think the team players that haven't got a Champions League in here?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Yeah, so all these that I've got pretty much I remember.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in fourth, you've got I've gone in fourth, the uh 99 Man United. Okay, fourth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I just yeah, I think the I think the the three above them, I just think the three above them, if they if they went against each other in the team, you put that team against that team, I think. But they were a young squad as well, weren't they?

SPEAKER_00 5:32

I think they'd lose. They were a young squad from what I remember, like pretty much like like Beckham and that were babies, really.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

These teams, unless I'm I'm I'm I don't think I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

Did you know they scored 20 goals in their group stage as well, man United? They scored 11 against Brumby, but still, and they drew with like Bayern Munich 3-3, and I think they drew with Barcelona. No, yeah, Barcelona, because they by Munich topped it.

SPEAKER_01 5:55

Yeah, they only scraped they scraped through by the they've scraped through, they drew a lot of the games in the league.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

Yeah, but I think they've got two or three points in between second and third, though.

SPEAKER_01 6:01

Yeah, I think and then they played by Munich in the group stage as well.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Yeah, Bayern Munich topped it. But they drew both games.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

Um yeah, but so I've had them there. I mean, I don't need to go into depth about we all know about the manual nine.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

Everyone's watched all the fucking documentaries, everyone's seen the stories that have you know self-explanatory.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

The teams above them that I've had, I think just don't I could be wrong, but I think they've just they've just dominated the Champions League.

SPEAKER_00 6:23

So Okay, so that makes me think that if you've got what I've got in fourth, obviously I've put it in the wrong fucking place. So in fourth, I've got the 16-17 Real Madrid squad. Okay, that's the one where they beat Juve in the final 4-1.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

Okay, you've gone for in you're going for individual seasons?

SPEAKER_00 6:40

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:41

Oh, I've not, I've got a couple there where they're not individual seasons.

SPEAKER_00 6:43

Oh, wait, to be fair though, with that Real Madrid squad, you could say 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18. Because they're all the colours. Because they've won it three years on the trap, didn't they?

SPEAKER_01 6:51

Yeah. Look, I've gone PSG last year and this year because they're the same team. The reason why by a couple of different players.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Yeah, that's what I mean. There was only a couple of the players.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

No, the AC Milan did the AC Milano would have gone for the AC Milan, I think that they did the double, didn't they? In the early in the Yeah, that's fair.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

I'll just I'll just went with the the season to be fair, but how they played out. That's fine. Yeah, it's a 16-17 one. I mean So you've got have you got multiple Real Madrid? I've got one Round Madrid, believe it or not. That's your only Real Madrid. I've got I hate to say the others, but I've only got one Real Madrid. But to be fair, with that one, like I said, they won it three times in a row, didn't they? With Zidane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely fucking smashed it. Bayle was an absolute joke of a player.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

Ronaldo three times in a row, but they won it four four times in uh five years.

SPEAKER_00 7:32

Yeah, because they missed that. Yeah, they won it, then Barcelona won it, and then they won it three times.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

And then I'm pretty sure they didn't they was it two eight two years after two, three years after they won it again? And then they won it again not long ago with yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

With Jude Jude against Dortmund. Yeah, that that season for me though, Real Madrid Ronaldo was on madness, he scored 17 goals in that campaign. I just remember him just scoring absolute bangers.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

So the year he scored the redhead against Juventus, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:02

No, that's no that that was the one before, I think. Because they won 4-1 in the final. He didn't score it in the final. Oh no, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. It was a knockout stage. It was a knockout stage, yeah. And that was when everyone in the fucking stadium just applauded him, even the Juventus fans. But yeah, that one for me just because of Ronaldo. I remember just watching I watched a fair few games of his that season, but he was just I'm smoking that Champions League.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

He just started smoking Champions League, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_00 8:29

Yeah, he was brilliant. So yeah, I went with uh specifically the 16-17 season, but if you want to take into account them three seasons with Zidana's manager, fucking shit hot man. Dominating.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

Who you got third?

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Uh I went for the 2020 Bayern Munich team.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Okay, looking into that. Because that was weird. That was the COVID.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Yeah, but that yeah, but that biomunic team just fucking no. Do you know what? I am taking into consideration. I'm taking into consideration they won everything. Everything. Didn't they did they won like six trophies in a year?

SPEAKER_00 9:05

They didn't have treble then.

SPEAKER_01 9:06

They'd done the treble. They um I think they won their it must be their equivalent of the community shield, and then they no, they sorry, they won they won the treble, and then they won the super cup, and then they were the world cup all in the year. The world club world cup, the world world cup and the super cup. Fucking hell. Was that with Nagel? Nogglesman. No, no, that was with Hansy Flick. He's got an incredible manager.

SPEAKER_00 9:28

I think he's ever lost the final.

SPEAKER_01 9:29

I think he left after.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

To be German manager. Because you had a little stint in Germany, didn't he? Before Nagelsmann. I think so.

SPEAKER_01 9:37

I can't. I'd I'd he I he left the season after. I don't know, it's one of those things where he left on a massive high. It might have been the season after, and obviously there probably won more, but yeah, that just that team was a joke, mate. That buying team was a fucking joke.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

I'm trying to think of who they played. They had that tropical moating as well in that final, didn't it? Do you know the one who played for Stoke? Yeah, nobody has to be. He's got the best agent on the planet.

SPEAKER_01 9:56

Yeah, you see that that that PSG's got the worst miss of all time, isn't it? You know, where he's on the line, he's like scoops it behind him onto the post.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

Yeah, it's fucking embarrassing. Um how the fuck he played at Stoke, I don't even know, let alone the other fucking clubs.

SPEAKER_01 10:11

Yeah, but um, yeah, man, that team was just a fucking that team were just a joke. That's one you know, sometimes like PSG were like last year with it, you see sometimes it's like right, you know from the get-go who's gonna win it.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Yeah, and it's clear that barme unit team, you just that the same year that they absolutely ripped uh Barcelona like eight to on aggregate and that had never been heard up.

SPEAKER_01 10:33

I think they batted they battered us like seven-two in one of our groups. Leroy Sarnae was there at the time battered us in the group stage like seven-two.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

Yeah, they're absolutely like wiping teams over. I think that Barcelona game, I think Ramos, no not Ramos, uh but who was it? Alba, someone like that, had a red card in the game and just made it fucking worse.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

I don't know, but they yeah, they yeah, they they battered him over on Agrigo. It was like eight two on Agrigo or something stupid, weren't it? Yeah, that was just demolition.

SPEAKER_00 11:02

I think it was I think they tore him a new ass at the new camp as well.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

They did. I think they I think they got the dominant score on at the new camp. Yeah, yeah. I think it was just like a maybe like a uh I think it was like a 1-0 or 2-0 at the Alliance. I don't think it was a big score line at the Allianz.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

And then they battered him at that's what made it so like shocking.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Yeah, it might have been a 1-0, weren't it? Because it was like I'm sure it was 7-2. Someone like that. I think it was 8-2. I suppose it was 8-2. On Aggregate, I think it was.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

Oh, an aggregate.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

But they bat they battered him anyway. They were just they were just running through teams for a joke. There was no one, it was never, it was never a yeah, it's just such a fucking great team.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

No great call. In third, I went with an 99 Man United team, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:40

But this is what I said about mine, I think every oh, the reason I put these teams above them, I think that bar Munich team just batters Man United.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

You know, I think if I could I'd swapped them around because it makes fucking sense.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

But you've not got that bar mutiny team in your list.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

I didn't, I didn't I didn't put them in. I should have, I really should have. I was thinking about it as well, but then I thought these were the two make sense to me. But then I don't know, it's just from what I recall and what I remember enjoying at that time. And that biomunit one that I did I mean I've watched a fair bit of football over COVID and whatnot, but I don't know why it just escapes it. I feel like that part of my life was just a complete fucking blip.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Everyone's pissed, weren't they?

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Yeah, mental.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

I hate drinking at home, I do. Never do it, never do it. She's the missus bought me because it's my birthday, ain't it? Miss next week. Happy birthday to me. Um I'll gonna watch this back and just put this on a loop on my birthday. Birthday to um but she's bought, she's like, she said, Yeah, I bought you a couple of cans, you know. I'm like, they will stay there for ages.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

I don't really drink in the house if I'm just me and my missus.

SPEAKER_01 12:37

Um but that's the only thing I was doing in COVID, just drinking. I was leaving the house, go down to the shop to get myself eight cans and just sitting there and just drinking them.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

I think everyone did. Of course, ritual, wasn't it? But yeah, so third I went with them.

SPEAKER_01 12:51

Yeah, we don't need to explain that.

SPEAKER_00 12:52

Yeah, I think as well, if you think about it with Roy Keane as well being um suspended. And Scott Yeah, and Scott was they didn't have the heart at the midfield, and they still fucking they were very lucky though.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

I mean Fergie just changed everything, didn't he?

SPEAKER_00 13:06

Gig started on the right, Beckham was in the middle. Bronckhorse was on the left? On the left, gig, yeah, yeah. Gig was on the right, Beckham was in the middle. Fucking mental.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

And it was just it just nothing worked, did it? Because he because he said to that Bronk Bronckfist Bronkfist, yeah, Bronkhorst, Bronckfist. However, he said he said to him, he promised him that he would play in the final. So he put him on F and then Gary Neville said, didn't he? He made the change, I think he brought him off for someone else. Beckham went back onto the right, gigs went back onto the left, and Gary Neville said, and then it just clicked, it clicked, and everything went back to normal, and that's when they started playing well again.

SPEAKER_00 13:34

Left it so fucking late though. So late. Mental. I remember watching not the game, but when I first like watched the clips and the I was thinking, fucking hell, that's mental.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

But it was remember like I I remember it's bizarre though. I remember you have you have a you have a vague mem I have a vague memory of it, but then I remember it was a good couple of years ago now. I can't remember what I was on, whether it be face ache or something like that, but it came up, it came up, yeah, it came up the highlights, and I watched it, and then I sat down and I thought, bye Munich, fucking batteries.

SPEAKER_00 14:07

Battered them, they hit the barb as well. Batterem.

SPEAKER_01 14:11

And I don't remember them, but I think it's because you just remember them.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

The goals, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

You you think about the goals, you tell Sheringham and Solto, yeah, you just and both both both shouting, getting alright, but both of the goals, Man United, were deflected shots. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gigs had the shotgun. Sheringham swung his gigs had the gigs had the shot that was going wide, and he's got a lot of people. Sheringham turned it in, and then Sheringham Sheringham's header. Was a reaction, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00 14:34

Yeah. So look lucky's on your side sometimes, ain't it? Do you think sorry, do you think that the Man United's uh stoppage time goals are better than the Aguero one? To win the Premier League, to win the championship, do you know? Because two goals in the space of like seconds is fucking bizarre, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Eager, I know we've not put him in, neither of us put him in, but do you who do you think wins out of if they were gonna play each other out of United's 99 team or United's 08 team?

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Ooh, I think 08.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

I think 8 teams are bad. I think it's just because of what Man United went through in the comeback and 99 and Class of 92 and all that nonsense.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

Yeah, I think the 08 team had a bit more flair as well. Yeah, so good. Liquid.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Rooney, Rooney, and Tev Rooney Tevez and Ronaldo don't get spoken enough as an attacking as an attacking unit. Yeah. You speak about your you got your MSN, you've got your your bail, your BBR. Yeah, you got all you're all BBL, you've got you've got all them. No one ever really speaks about Rooney, Ronaldo, and Tevez, and they were fucking good.

SPEAKER_00 15:34

Scarily good. So good. Tevez was on smoke, man, when he went when he left from Man City. I mean, before he left to Man City, he was on Smoke Man. So good. So who do you got in second?

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Right, so second, I've gone for the Barcelona team of 08-09 and 10-11. Not an individual one I've gone because that is a that's that team. I don't think they changed anything, did they? Yeah, they um that well no, sorry, in the first game they had Eto and in the the other one they had Henry. Yeah. So other than a bit, but it's the same team, it's the same, it's Puyol. The 08-09. Puyol, it's Valdez, it's Piquet, it's was PK.

SPEAKER_00 16:10

PK, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

No, I don't think PK was there at that point. No. PK won it in 08 with United. Puyol was. So we're in Poyol, sorry, not PK, so Poyol, Javi in the Esther.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Busquets.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

Buskets. No, I don't think Buskett was in the U.S.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Buskett's was in it. Are you sure you weren't further on? No, it was Javi in the Esther and Buskets. Because that if you remember they played Chelsea in the semi-final.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Listen, that team both from the one the team that beat Man United.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

Do you think they deserved to win that though? After the Chelsea game in the semi-final. That could have had three penalties in that game. That's not their fault. Mental though, innit? I'll just remember that game, Estian's Valley, that kissed the fucking crossbar as it went in. Yeah. You got Inesta's goal in the last few minutes when he fucking brought foot it in the top right. But I remember Dropper going down in the first half. I think it was an Auka who went down in the second half. And then the handball.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

That's one that does the rounds every now and again. And then on social media, you see the.

SPEAKER_00 17:04

Remember the end when he got he went what did he say? The thing is, all all That's what I remember about that oh no one can buy man.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

All I think about when I think of uh Barcelona and Chelsea is Ronaldinho's toe poke.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

The little shime. Yeah, that's all I think. That goal was one of the best.

SPEAKER_01 17:22

And and always forget, never forget this how at one point in the game John Terry goes to absolutely clatter Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho just drops or plants his leg, drops his shoulder into him, and Terry just bounces off him like he was nothing.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

So I remember thinking I remember thinking fucking how strong is Ronaldinho.

SPEAKER_00 17:41

Yeah, he's fucking he was meant to be really strong. He was just fucking like butter, like through butter when he was running. Um yeah, so in seconds.

SPEAKER_01 17:49

Do you remember watching that? So sorry, the clip of him warming up and he's just doing some keep-ups and he boots the ball up in the air. Yeah, I used to love watching him.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

It was the Joker Benito adverts as well that he had with Noik. The crossbow. I would believe more Saf that was real. It probably is, but of course it is. Yeah, it's real. Santa's real. Uh so yeah, in second, I've got 08, 09 Barca.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Okay, yeah, yeah. So same team, same team. So you might as well have the 10-11 Barsa as well.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Well, no. They were the honourable mention.

SPEAKER_01 18:22

Yeah, but it's the same team. I know, yeah. Essentially, it's the same team.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

Yeah, in alright, let me quickly do.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

We've got this is I think this is me and you've got confused in what we've said we're doing we're gonna do. I've gone for the best chance of the teams, you've gone for the year, yeah, yeah. It'll make a difference. I might as well say my first one. I'm right, you're wrong.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

Yeah, I might as well say my first one now then. Uh Barcelona 1415, MSN.

SPEAKER_01 18:46

Well, it's obvious the only one I've missed out in it is gonna be my number one.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

Well, you said Inter and Porter with your honourable mention.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

Yes. So I've said Inter and Porter. See if you should like so I've gone Piercey, Man United, Bar Munich, and Barsa. Would it be Man United? No, think about it. Come on. Um obvious ones as well.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

It's gonna do me heading as well.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

I'll just say it. Uh my number one is free Pete Real Madrid.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

But the free the free Pete Real Madrid.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

No, that didn't even cross my mind because I already had it. Yeah, free by and Adam, yeah, free Pete because I was just talking about it. And then the and then the um so you've got the I know but like you say the t the team you said is your number one, but the year before that Real Madrid won it again. So I just think to dominate the Champions League like that in five seasons, do we'll ever be done again unless PSG do it.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Are they the only team that's won it three times in a row?

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Um since it's since I think it's since it's the Champions League, I think Barm Unit won the U row uh Uri all being caught three times in a row. Sounds about right.

SPEAKER_00 19:50

Did Liverpool do it? No, I don't think Liverpool did. Oh hang on, no no no with um Bill Shankly. Bill Shanckley, yeah, I think he did win three, you know. Yeah. I mean it fucking makes sense. I think AC Mann might have as well.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

Because I think they won they won a couple, didn't they? And that Real Madrid won five on the bounce when they the very first the inception of it, it was five on the bounce. Yeah, I think he did, you know. Um because in May and I think they won three, didn't they? And then they was like the late 70s, they won three, and then there was a bit of a gap because Villa won it.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

In '82.

SPEAKER_01 20:22

No, because Nottingham Forest, sorry, Nottingham Forest won it. Northern Forest won its twice, yeah. And then Villa won it, and then Liverpool won it again, didn't they? They beat Round Madrid 1-0. And that was their fourth, and then five was Milan. Around so it was something like I'm pretty sure Liverpool won three on the bounce.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

I think so.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

I know I think Bayern Munich have won it, but that's the only time it's been done as the Champions League.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Yeah, Bayern Munich. No, Real Madrid.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Um I don't think I don't think anybody did back to back as the Champions League even until then.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

Um that was the Champions League. As the Champions League. Who was the Champions League at first? 1992. I believe. Not that I can think of, you know.

SPEAKER_01 21:06

Because no one did the 90s, that was all different. And then you because you got teams that I think Valencia got to the final a couple of times.

SPEAKER_00 21:11

Didn't I no Ajax is just a few years?

SPEAKER_01 21:12

AC Milan, I think, got to the final a couple of times. Er I think Ajax won it three times in a row. Because they've got four, ain't they? I think they won it three times in a row, and then I think they got their fourth in 95 and 96.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

Oh, so there you go. So they wouldn't have had it uh twice on the bounce. So as the Champions League has been what it is, so you got Real Madrid in 2015 to 2018, three in a row. Er and then nah. Oh AC Milan eighty eight to ninety, but then again, that was the last time Europe it was. As that's the last time since um Real Madrid. So not even twice in a row, no. PSG could become the first team since to do it twice in a row, though.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Looking at yeah, Cinnamon. So Ajax, yeah, so Ajax won it three times in a row of the European Cup from seventy to seventy three. Then Baum Unit won it three times in a row. No, Liverpool. Liverpool twice, yeah, then Farvis twice, then Liverpool again, yeah. Then Aston Villa, then Hamburg, then Liverpool, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

Um the most rogue. Milan, Milan.

SPEAKER_01 22:16

Milan won it twice in a row, they won it three times.

SPEAKER_00 22:19

I think that that fucking what are they called? FCB.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

That's um Round Madrid, Barm Unit, Real Madrid, Milan, Porto, Liverpool, Barcelona, Milan, Man United, Barcelona, Intermane, Barcelona, Chelsea, Bar Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Ramadan, Real Madrid.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

Fucking mental. What what would be your favourite ever I know we've done our teams now, but what would be your favourite ever Champions League game? Champions League game. Game, just game from off the top of your head, what you can think of. Um mine.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

Manchester United three round no Manchester United four, sorry, Round Madrid three. When R9's Patrick. Oh, what a game. And I remember Beckham Beckham was being exiled a bit, and I remember him coming off the bench and scoring a free kick, smashing against the barn. I remember thinking at the time, he's angry is.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

Was that the game at the end when Zizu give him a hug and come to Madrid?

SPEAKER_01 23:18

Yeah, but that game, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember I remember watching.

SPEAKER_00 23:20

I remember watching that game as a Babby. Fucking brilliant. But in recent years, I think the corner taking quickly, Liverpool versus Madrid. Oh fucking. Oh, we're talking wow, listen. Fuck me, what a game. Messi's free kick in that game, by the way, was the most inch-perfect goal I have seen from a free kick. Oh my god. Is it better? Can I ask you a question? Entertainment wise as well. I thought it was great.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Is it better than um is it better than Tottenham Iak's second leg?

SPEAKER_00 23:48

Oh that was a great game. I love a comeback. I love a comeback. Lucas Mora deserves so much more for that. Breaks my heart every time. He should have started. He really should have fucking started that next time.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

But it's Harry Kane.

SPEAKER_00 23:58

I know, yeah, but fuck mate. Same with you saying about England at the Euros. You start your good players, you start your players.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

Yeah, same as the Euros. England, Ollie Watkins got us got us there, didn't he?

SPEAKER_00 24:08

But well yeah, but yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

Well you play Harry Kane, you've got a black player.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

But look what happened in Nottingham and Alex Ferguson promised Vanquist to fucking play anyway. But that's different, isn't it? I know, but that's what I mean. I think you have to just sometimes just go with who's fucking shit. I think you got loads. You got that, I think I think opposed to the whose name it is.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

I think although obviously I I should I should I listen, I should say that Tottenham I X. I should say that. But I just think I'll I'll never forget what Ronald was just what R9 did in that game was just fucking ridiculous. Amazing. The first time I'd ever seen as well um an opposing player get around like the stadium standing the whole stadium standing up and blood in him.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

Just witnessing greatness.

SPEAKER_01 24:51

It was he's mate, so I fucking love him so much. So good.

SPEAKER_00 24:55

I'd love I can't wait for the day that you get a duplicate of him because he's I don't think you have.

SPEAKER_01 25:00

You'll never get another him, you'll never get another Messi, you'll never get another Crushano, you'll never get another R9, you'll never get another, you know, all these greats, you'll never get another of them, you'll never get another Van Baston. Right, can I just off topic as well? Now I'd I'd listen, I didn't watch Van Baston's over a kick. I haven't watched much of Van Baston, it's in highlights. But when you consider what he's done and how much he won, he retired at 28.

SPEAKER_00 25:23

Oh yeah, mad, isn't it? It's so early. He's so underrated. Dominating football of the age.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

But yeah, there won't be another Ban Baston. There won't be Cruyff.
