Taylor RockwellHOST
This is not that same unbeatable level of Barcelona team.
Taylor RockwellHOST
Messi's not there, so there is... slightly less invincibility to them.
Taylor RockwellHOST
But it's still, I feel like those Mourinho-Madrid teams, even with all the star power he had, even with all the money they spent on transfers, there was still a feeling of like, how are they going to manage to get a result here? How are they going to beat this Barcelona team? And so when that is the narrative going in, I think any result, if it had been a draw, would have been seen as a positive, would have been seen as growth given how they played last year and just how dysfunctional they looked.
Taylor RockwellHOST
For it to be a win today, And a win in which they could have done more.
FKHOST
Kane scored 73 goals in the period that the Ballon d'Or was nominated.
FKHOST
Lionel Messi.
FKHOST
Leo Messi has won it eight times in his career.
FKHOST
He's also one of the shortlisted guys for tonight.
Chuck SmithHOST
He is the most well-rounded player there is at the moment.
Chuck SmithHOST
As good as Mbappe is and as good as Jamal is and as great as Leo Messi's career has been, none of them can do all of the things that Kane can do.
Chuck SmithHOST
The funniest thing about all of this is that Kane, he could go and score 50 goals this season, win the Bundesliga, dominate Europe, and people would still find a way to bag on him and say he doesn't deserve it.
Chuck SmithHOST
Now, imagine if he had that kind of season.
Musa OkwongaHOST
The one thing that's different to the big difference between...
Musa OkwongaHOST
Leo Messi and Laminia Marle.
Musa OkwongaHOST
And this is, it's like, let the game come to you.
Musa OkwongaHOST
That's the one difference.
Jeremy BerenHOST
On the other hand, I loathe the way that La Liga has used the Clásico to market itself.
Jeremy BerenHOST
La Liga, for generations, has marketed itself as the league of Barca and Real Madrid, the league of Ballon d'Or, the league of Messi and Ronaldo.
Jeremy BerenHOST
Now it's Mbappe and Lemieux and Jamal.
Jeremy BerenHOST
Don't worry about those other 18 teams.
LucaPANELIST
You are the second youngest player to ever win the Ballon d'Or at 22.
LucaPANELIST
You weren't a teenager when you won it, but where would you rank yourself in terms of the all-time great teenagers, including R9, including Yamao now, and Bape, a young Messi? Solely as a teenager, where would you rank yourself? Because I think you're very high.
LucaPANELIST
I'm not going to lie.
Michael OwenGUEST
That's a good question.
Alan CawleyGUEST
Yeah,
Raf DialloHOST
it's like those old FIFA votes where you'd see like Messi and Ronaldo not voting for each other, all this kind of stuff.
Raf DialloHOST
And because they would reveal the votes, but ultimately, look, it's a team sport.
Raf DialloHOST
So this stuff sort of, it's just, it's window
Tam McManusPANELIST
The, the days of that are gone.
Tam McManusPANELIST
Unless you're Messi, you, you don't get away with not defending.
Tam McManusPANELIST
Everybody else has to.
Peter MartinHOST
We're going to talk about Hearts in a minute, but Rangers will go to Tynecastle, um, as favorites?
28 MINS LATER
Peter MartinHOST
Mbappe 2/1.
Peter MartinHOST
Yamal 4/1.
Peter MartinHOST
Messi's 40/1, Ruffie.
Alan RoughPANELIST
No, Kane for me.
JeremyGUEST
But they tend to be more the bigger names, per se.
JeremyGUEST
You know, you'll have a Messi collector, a Ronaldo, a Haaland, Bellingham, Mbappe.
JeremyGUEST
All of these kind of players will have driven collectors.
JeremyGUEST
But I think... they're less.
14 MINS LATER
JeremyGUEST
Go back.
JeremyGUEST
I pulled it up earlier before I went on the chat with you.
JeremyGUEST
If you go back and you look at the list of, let's go, recent history that aren't Messi and Ronaldo, right? And there's not a lot of players in recent history outside of them, obviously because they dominated.
JeremyGUEST
Who is considered got a hot market? Rodri, Dembele, Modric.
