Rovers are massively underrated, being able to defend a draw for 80+ minutes against Real Madrid is impressive by itself, especially as a team from Ireland
Absolutely legendary performance. I had never heard of this and to hold out against players like that is truly unbelievable. Prime Barcelona would be happy holding that side scoreless til the 88th minute.

Because Real has decades of titles and all transfers were paid from profit generated by the club. Unlike P$G and €ITY which are ran by entire countries. Qatar and the UAE are oil countries that have unlimited money. Real madrid made sensible signings. Cristiano was a steal for 90 million. P$G paid close to a quarter of a billion for Neymar. 70 million for David Luiz. City spends 100 million on substitute players. Smh. There's a huge difference.
Real Madrid without summer transfer window 2009 is still the most historically successful team of all time. City and PsG would be where without oil money?
@@amateursoundtracker8877so you’re telling me billions of dollars were generated from “history”? Do the math yourself, it didn’t add up. Had PSG won the ucl in 1995, the same season they made the semis, you wouldn’t be saying this… the only difference between PSG and other big clubs is that they won a ucl before they got an investor, otherwise clubs would end up like Hamburg, FCSC, and Red Star, where they won the ucl but became mid clubs after all the big clubs got investor money.
Ah the wonderful place called "Tallaght" mostly famous for rivers with greater radioactivity than the 4th reactor chernobyl, monge the roundabout gnome and the distinct smell of biscuits.
I was at that game, very surreal . I also live in that "small" town tallaght . Pronounced Tall-ah . Its not small in terms of towns in Ireland tho . One of the bigger ones
What’s impressive is they signed them in the same window all going to a new club, new teammates, new coaches, & new league. All while there was already one of the greatest teams in history in that league. And they didn’t need no adapting like some other players going to new teams.
People forget that Real did poor in the Champions League for 4 years after the super signing. They got knocked out at round 16 in 2009, lost by 2 goals in semi final in 2010, lost by penalty in semi final in 2011, and concede 4 goals in semi final lost in 2012. They have failed to make it to CL final in 12 long years since 2001. Those were dark times
I have always wondered the structure of FFP is designed to support teams like UTD, RM, BARCA the clubs with massive fan base, it gives them right to spend unnaturally more than other clubs because they have more fans. FFP should be designed in such a way there is a salary cap equal for all teams irrespective of revenue generated by the club
Today breaking the transfer record 2 times in one week it would be called destroying football. But when it’s Real Madrid 2009 it’s the best transfer window ever and everyone is super proud of it.

I’m not even kidding the guy lifting that trophy for shamrock rovers is one my teachers right now. Just shows the difference in quality.
That’s Roberto Lopes, dude was playing in AFCON and he’s your teacher?
They bought 793 goals in that week. Their first and second highest scorers in club history. It doesn't get much better than that in my opinion...
I’m Irish and a fan of shamrock rovers
And it's PSG that's apparently ruining football.
I was at this game , I was only 8 years old , a great memory
Real Madrid just casually bought the two highest goalscorers and assist providers in their history
Yep great vid
"Talit" its spelled tallagh, literally pronounced tala

96 points that season. 94 the next with cdr & 100 best ever la liga team the next, 85 the fourth & ucl & cdr the 5th year
2009 was the ultimate Madrid team.
