Shoutout to the german league dude. Bayerns dominance sucks but the consistent rejection of foreign investment and commitment to partial fan control is super cool.
I like the idea of fighting against the money and investments in football but in the long run it will stop the bundesliga from competing with the top leagues and clubs from england, spain and italy. If you look at dortmund a few weeks ago they started a deal with a war company because of the missing money even after reaching the UCL final. Leverkusen heavily depends on the pharma company bayer in their back and bayern munich sooner or later also have to do something if they want to keep beeing one of the best clubs in the world and having the best players. Transfer fees and salaries sadly will not decrease. We all know it will increase even more and more over the next years. So at one point the bundesliga have to do something or the clubs have to find other ways, maybe even dirtier ways to get their hands on the needed money🥲
@@moonman9227 but did you actually read what i wrote? Dortmund now made a deal with a war company😅 leverkusen heavily depends on that unethnical pharma company that is even a part of the clubs name BAYER leverkusen🤷♂️ thats why i said, the clubs now have to find other ways to get their hands on money and these ways maybe will be even dirtier than just an investment in the league. Is this the soul of the game you are talking about?🤔 there is just no way around the money in football anymore mate. Of course this evolution is sad but there is no way around for clubs like bayern and dortmund with the philosophy to compete with the best teams in europe✌️
Tbh Heidenheim deserved a shout out or honorable mention at least. In the first season in Bundesliga going to the europa conference league is a big thing to achieve in hindsight that Luton town got relegated
From the start, Luton hardly have any chance to stay. They spend their Championship prize money on renovating their stadium to Premiere League minimum standard.
I got to say, man. As a Texan that did not grow up with soccer (what everyone else calls football), you’re pretty much the only reason I pay any attention to the sport. Great video as always.
I am also an American (great state of arkansas), the only reason I pay attention to the sport is I want to understand what is happening when the USMNT ends up dominating the game
As a Brest supporter, this will forever be a season I will fondly remember, the greatest season in the history of our club, and the greatest underdog story in Europe. You can have your Stuttgart, your Girona, your Bologna, but what Brest did, with a fraction of their budget, let alone the budget of a PSG, was amazing. There's a song that was made by a local group, La Lucha Libre, called Red and White. Some of the lyrics read "Brest flies high. Phoenix don't die" That sums up the Brest story. This season has been nothing short of incredible for us, but the bigger journey has been too. We went from the heydays of the 80s, when we were the best team in Brittany and even had the mad story of our president in a legal stand off against the Colombian drug cartel to get a players, to the downfall and return to depths of amateur football in the 90s, to the return to professionalism in the mid 2000s. This is also an unbelievable story. I remember, back in 2013, when the ultras were chanting that our club was now dying as we were in vegetation. Last year, we were bracing for the worst, even after the first few games with Roy. To go from all of that, to Champions League football, it feels so surreal. I was on the verge of tears throughout the final weeks. Broken leg be damned, I jumped up and down for my team this year. Brest da Viken ❤🤍
Klopp (2020) AND Conte (2017) being the only managers to stop Pep's complete dominance of the EPL, since his arrival (2016/17). Not just Klopp. Great roundup and great video 👍
This was the first season I really tuned into, following all the leagues and tournaments, and it was awesome. I live in America, so I never really grew up with the sport, but now I understand why it’s the biggest game in the world. For that reason, I gotta give this season a 10/10
My favourute story of the bundesliga this season was Heidenheim. A super small city makes it to the Bundesliga for the first time ever with no big investor to back them and a player base that is worth way less then any other club and somehow got 8th in the season even though everyboey thought they probably get relegated and now get to play internationaly in the uefa conference league (play offs).
I can't believe my unpaid intern (me) uploaded another video with a sound issue (again, it was me and I'm sorry). I'll make sure he (also me) doesn't do it again. Hope you all enjoy the season review.
a few mentions outside the top 5: -Netherlands show ajax being at a very bad state this season and psv won the league and feyenord the cup -Belgium show club brugge winning the league again with their weird system -Greece show olympiakos (who ended 3rd in the league) win the conference league and youth league this year meanwhile paok won the league and panathinaikos the cup -Turkey had the craziest title race this year with the 3rd in the league being closer to relegation than 2nd, galatasaray won it with 102 points and a 3 point difference from fener who ended the season at 99 points meanwhile besiktas won the cup -Scotland show celtic win the double -Austria show saluzburg's dominance come to an end with sturm graz winning the league
For someone who (sadly) has lost some interest in football, this video is so relaxing and keep me interested in the sport and what´s happening. Keep up the good work G
Wolves fan in the US here. This season was rough when it came to VAR. If you totaled up the points we missed out on (that actually later came with official apologies for incorrect calls) we would have been ahead up to 10 points of where we ended up. Hopefully the officiating is better next season.
Pretty sure Chelsea didn't make it to the Europa league because Man United got their spot from winning the fa cup. It's gonna be hilarious to see Chelsea's squad being more expensive than everyone else in the conference league combined (and still somehow losing)
Nobody does the season roundups quite as well as you so big props! Excellent video! Would love to see one uncovering some of the other leagues as well - but I'll also take Euro content going forward, so I'll be happy either way! Keep it up!
I’m just getting into fūtbol. 41 years I never gave a shit but after being addicted to FIFA23 career and watching Wrexham. I am locked in. Thanx for great content to get me up to speed. You got a new subscriber
Thanks Tinashe. Your videos and especially the essays have been tremendously helpful. I was new to the football and have been watching your videos since last year. Great quality and storytelling. Keep going brother.
City will be back. They played like ass and still dominated possession and chances against Madrid. These 2 titans of current club football will meet again next season
You’re a united fan and don’t know that chelsea are playing conference league instead of Europa league next season since united won the FA cup, meaning united play in Europa league instead
tbh this season has been S-tier I don't like comparing things because it doesn't make much sense, but the 2023/24 season in Europe has definitely been great
Agreed. 1.Bayer Leverkusen ending Bayern Munich's dominance in Bundesliga. 2.Inter Milan's dominance in Serie A. 3.The likes of Stuttgart, Bologna, Girona, Aston Villa, and Stade Brestois achieving a good domestic season, which resulted in the Champions League Football for them the next season. Manchester City's 4th Premier League title in a row and Real Madrid's Double with only 2 defeats in this season (both against Atletico Madrid) might be considered a great, but these clubs were done in an unfair way (City won with punishments relating to 115 FFP breaches still looming, while Madrid's tougher games were rigged by the referees).
Reus being the first Harry Kane is not what I mentally prepared for. Bellingham scoring 19 from midfield (after I just watched the Morata mini-doc) actually does deserve the praise he's received. People want to point out his flaws now like he's Cristiano but all this at what 19/20? Even BBC would have to applaud that kind of contribution at that age. Don Carlo is a difficult manager to fail under so I also respect that he has had a massive affect on the team bring Jude in like a brother. Toni Toni Toni🤍🫁 we'll miss him🤌🏾 This season was actually insane.
Spurs sold their success by letting Modric and Bale go. 2 world 11 absolute ballers and replaced them with mediocrity. They outSPURSed themselves here ...
Shout out to Michael Carrick at Boro!! Managed an 8th place finish with an injury battered squad, losing our best striker Akpom and also giving the rest of the league a 6 game head start. Up the boro!!!!!🔴⚪
@ 23:30 yes it is :( I was glad to snatch up Kobbie Mainoo for my fantasy team though. He did not get me a lot of points overall, but he did have that goal vs. Liverpool. However, I had him on the bench that day because I figured, well, it's Liverpool so....
United fans mocking chelsea fans for being behind them the entire season only for them to get leaped frog by them in the final games of the season ONLY for United to pull out one of the greatest upsets of all time in the F.A cup final and getting into Europa and kicking chelsea in the conference *ONLY* for United to possibly get kicked out *AGAIN* due to coflict of interest for having the same owners as Nice, with chelsea replacing them, is, for me, the best and funniest story of the season, bar none, bar absolute none.
Bayer Leverkusen lost 1 game whole season and bottled European League final. Real Madird Bottled 2 games whole seasons and lost Copa Del Rey. We can see that Xabi Alonso is carrying Real Madird spirit. Thusly, Xabi 2025/26 season confirmed.
Olympiakos and Atalanta worth their own videos for what they did at the final stages of continental competitions, that are not decided on boardrooms, but on the pitch.
I would never forget Atletico Madrid losing games softly and ruining my betting tickets. It sure was a rollercoaster of a season. From last seasons Napoli league victory to Leverkusens victory this side, one can only wonder who will be the upset story in the upcoming season. As a Chelsea Fan, I look forward to us adding the conference league to our cabinet since its the only European one we dont have. Help me on this one, between the 100 Million + transfers, who wins the title of best buy this past season? Jude/Rice? I dont count Caicedo.
we got europa league for winning the fa cup, Chelsea get conference league. imagine having a squad that expensive playing against teams no one has heard of 🤣💀💀
