#figo #realmadrid #barca - กีฬา
I remember this like it was yesterday. For all you young people, just imagine Messi going to sign for Real Madrid today. Let that sink in.
Barca's directive seems to have learned the lesson for they keep messi happy being the highest paid player (I think?)
Akiles Baeza he is the highest paid in the world lol
It is not the same...old idiot
@@ymirfritz5076 😂
Okay dad
I'm a Barca fan but props to Perez. That was a littlefinger move right there.
Juan David lmaooo 😂😂
True
Juan David 😂😂true
Juan David little finger? Don't you mean middle finger?
Lmao 😂 middle finger 😂
This was such a big fkn deal at the time! Perez just wanted to see Barca burn, for fun lmao
And he still wants to see Barca burn... and keep burning...
It worked from 2016-2018 xD
That was figos fault tho

Wow, didn't know about the details of the transfer. Great insight, more people should get to know this channel. Not many young people know about this transfers details
Fascinating story isn't it
uMAXit Football yeah it's crazy! I was familiar with the general plot of this transfer saga like most fans (and I'm too young to actually remember it myself, I've just read about it), but I did not know all those details. That agreement between Perez and Figo? Crazy, just crazy. I guess Figo doesn't talk about those details now because it's so embarrassing for him. Love this channel, please keep it up!
U Arne The shit
Yeah I used to think the same thing! As a Real Madrid fan, I never thought that he was signed to Real Madrid that way!! Perez is one of the most crooked president Real Madrid ever has.
@@karlchaudry1464 crooked? Genius!!
Oh wow so that's how it happened, I thought he just turned his back on Barcelona.
in a way he did, he choosed money, that piece of shit
+Rishan Shrestha
Barka fans still salty 😂😂
Rishan Shrestha Money and Champions League

Exactly lol.. Barcelona didn't win until 2006, he won with Real in 2002 and was already moved on with his life and career to Italy by the time Barca was good enough to win their title.
Robert Glanville yea I thought that too
Forgot to mention that he was by far the best player on the squad he was team captain and yet he was 3rd highest paid. When he asked for a raise Barca directors just didn't listen as they never thought he could actually leave.. They got what they deserve. With that said Figo was always one to profit from every possible situation, but he always gave his best at every club he played.
by Far...erm Rivaldo?
@@InspirationalMagic ..Figo was the clearly the best player at Barcelona
@@InspirationalMagic Figo is still the player with more assists in the history of La Liga. Ronaldo owes Figo a very big portion of his goals at barça.
Andre Borges it was prolly cause he was from portugal
@@goyaskill what are you talking about? Messi has far more than Figo has. Michel had the most before Messi.
You forgot to mention 2 facts:
- Figo, on the last seasons in Barça, was named Captain allways in absence of guardiola or luis enrique, wich was common duo to the age of both.
- Before making a deal with Florentino, FIgo pressured Barça's president to make a new contract. At that time he was payed way fewer than Rivaldo and thought he's importance on the club deserved more credibility by the president. Besides being captain he was the playmaker of Barça at that time.
I suspect Figo revealed the intentions of Florentino to Barça staff to put even more pressure to make a new contract with Barça.
I was also think Barça's president didn't believe Figo would go "crazy mode" and become a traitor to Barça fans(he was the damn captain), so he didn't sign a new contract.
Yes, Luis Figo betrayed Barça fans, but the fault is not only on his shoulders. Barcelona's president is also guilty.
Anyway very nice video, and very nice channel. Subscribed
I think Figo is fully a victim in this story.
A victim to his agent, who signed and advised hkm on the contract, making figo believe it would be impossible for Perez to win.
A victim of Florentino Perez, who was 100 times smarter than Figo and His agent, and outplayed them masterfully.
A victim of Barcelona's president who thought he wasn't worth the 19 million.
Now I understand why Beckham's squad number was 23
Positive Comment Michael Jordan's number, plus Raul had the 7 shirt.
Positive Comment officially it was because he was a "fan" of Jordan, but who knows if Florentino also "suggested" the idea LOL
gadget00 you knew then he was trying to tap into America from day dot. Way before he went to MLS.
Best channel Ive found in years, we can look back in a year when this channel has over 1 million subs ( i hope you reach that because you deserve it) and say we were her at 40,000 subs!
Thanks man!
George Moss exactly!
I was here at 5000 subs!!!!
also this channel is growing REALLY fast, I only knew about this channel at late December I think and it had like 16k subs!
It's almost a year already and they have barely 200k subs
Do one on the rise and fall of Deportivo La Coruna
wussup12345 that would be VERY interesting. At one time they were the "Super Depor" and later they kind of imploded
wussup12345 nice idea
Yeah i remember in the early 00s, Depor and Valencia were giving the "Big 2" a run for their money. Now, only Athletico keeps up with them...
That would be an excellent video. I love Depor back in the late 1990s to early 2000s - so many excellent players like Makaay, Tristan, Luque, Valeron, Andrade, Pandiani, and others!
Javier Irureta and Roy Makaayyyyyy...
Perez is a brilliant businessman. What a brilliant plan!
A manipulative sack of shit in my opinion that used deceitful tactics to get himself elected ahead of a President that had won 2 European cups within 3 years & to break a mans heart & destroy a Player \Supporter relationship that some players will never ever feel by legally \ deceptively pulling a player from a club that he loved & he didn't want to leave , He was marked as Traitor for life by people that he loved & they loved him but due to this unsportsmanlike contract a lot of people got their hearts broken but for some reason I'm not surprised to see that you think & Believe that this sort of tactic & Action of Contempt & manipulation is okay, This is why modern football is going in the sh*tter Because of people like you. Hope you enjoy your night under the bridge you Troll.
Brilliant but douchey and cold-hearted.
I guess this coldheartedness is just the way certain people think is acceptable in this day & age, I have had run-ins with this person before & she is patr of PC Brigade that thinks that she can tell you what is funny & what is not, In other words everything that this person thinks, says & basically dictates what's acceptable then if you disagree with her point of view then you're a fascist or ignorant according to this person.
@@davidconreen6607 There was nobody holding a gun to Figo's head "forcing" him to sign that contract... Figo thought he can play with Perez' ambition and get free money...
@@giannis.ioannidis.1995 Free Money ? No such thing😈😅😂
"We hate you now, for we love you then." Damn. That was honestly a bit sad to see. Imagine seeing your most loved and best player in your rival's team and winning trophies with them. I don't blame Figo but barcelona's fans must have felt pure heartbreak at the time.
As a Madrid fan I can tell you that Perez didnt win just because of Figo. The club was almost in bankrupcy at the time due to Lorenzo Sanz's incompetence and that played a bigger role in getting rid off Sanz in favour of Pérez.
Lorenzo Sanz gano la champions 32 años después y la intercontinental 37 años, los extranjeros no sabéis de nada del Madrid
Lorenzo Sanz dejó el club en quiebra técnica y ahogado por deudas. Por eso ni ganando 2 champions en 3 años le bastó para seguir de presidente. A mamar, pringao.@@JAJA-hi8nj
Perez has solidified that Real Madrid will always have the Portuguese connection. When another Portuguese super-star is in the making, why would they not play for Madrid? Figo, CR7 & Pepe all did.
So Renato Sanches is next
Andre silva maybe, one of those tranfers rumours though...
Pepe is brazilian tho
Pepe is shit.
Pepe is portuguese. Saying he's brazilian is like saying Zidane is argelian (his home country)
17 years ago , Figo meant the world to me , kept supporting even after he left . But It did hurt.
I know this that Barca fans loved him more than Real's coz he left within a few years while he created a century worth of status in Barcelona.
In Barceona he was the star of the team, while in Madrid he soon had to compete with players like Ronado or Zidane.
i had watched an el clasico live when Figo was playing for madrid. Crowd went crazy when he took the corner kick, throwing everything they got at him. Security had to come. The intensity was unreal.
If you are barca fan dude you would understand how heartbroken were we
Fuck the galacticos era
@@rxchach Shouldn't you be happy tho? The Galacticos tanked Madrid and you guys went up with Eto'o and Ronaldinho, the same guys Madrid overlooked due to Galacticos. That must've tasted sweet!
@@Sajid-ov6fd sorry for my immaturity that I showed an year ago . I know what you are saying and your point sounds valid .
@@rxchachw character growth
so figo had no choice wow. Kudos to Perez though at the time all Madrid supporters didn't think he would win.
Minato D Roger He had a choice. He chose to take the £1.6m deal.
lol i mean after he signed it i should have been specific
Exactly he didn't have to do the move full heartedly but he kept playing at the highest level, he bled for the shirt he said he hated and he he destroyed his beloved teams chances for titles. But i would defend him due to how Barcelona fans treated him during his first return with the fans, he was not treated nicely and that could make anyone turn on their club. I know even if i love Liverpool i would certainly feel hurt getting the most extreme chants at me during the entire game while your new family embraces you.
@@everybodylovesab yeah considering the fact that perez shouldn't have won he is innocent
This channel as a whole is great but this is my favourite one so far. You explain it really well and the visuals are awesome, as usual. Hope you guys never stop and get the recognition you deserve.
Thank You for this series! I have learn so much in such short from these they are very informative with quality production!
This is such a terrific video - amazing story (I'd never actually heard the full story before), told perfectly.
In hindsight turned to be a blessing for Barca. If he stayed they wouldn't have bought Ronaldinho who took the club to the next level.
You are right if Figo had stayed Ronaldinho wouldn't have been at Barca
Ricky Thompson very true he would have went to Man u now that you mention it
The two transfers are totally not related. Figo was sold in July 2000 while Ronaldinho was signed in the summer of 2003. There are three years in between. Moreover, there was a big difference between the team that Figo left in 2000 and the team Ronaldinho arrived at in 2003.
Ronaldo and Figo played in the same position so yes there is two years where Barcelona was suffering but Ronaldinho was definitely a direct replacement nonetheless. It's not easy replacing the best player in the world obviously they tried with Overmars but failed. But fact is Ronaldinho would probably never been a Barcelona player if Figo was still around so yea it was related.
They probably would have anyway lol they have a history of buying players they don't need or play
What a shrewd business man Perez is! He went for all or nothing and took the biggest risk of his life which ultimately paid of.
This is a well told story, the music the animation and how the events line up. You guys are quality
plz do Alfredo di Stefano transfer...it was controversial..
Kushagra Jain well just read the book :Morbo but to give some insight he did have a trial for Barça, but they were not that impressed by him.
@@eles2147 wrong. Club in that day won't just have trial players from around the globe like nowadays if the player not interesting enough for them. You are the one who should read the book. The neutral one.
@@marcsugi No I did read the book. Apparently you didn't. Barca wasn't impressed by him. Here he was in Spain without a club. They way they hithered and dithered didn't help much.
do a video about Cristiano Ronaldo's playing style change since he left Manchester United please
age
eric More an obsession to outscore messi. At united he was the most exciting player in the world, a fluid dribbler and a trickster. Now he's just a poacher, a very good one admittedly
Lol, he's inverted now, there's no reason for him to dribble when he can just cut inside. The few times he does switch back to the right he still takes players on.
Conal Quinn I actually prefer the current Ronaldo from the previous Man United Ronaldo. The old Ronaldo was a ball hog who dribbles too much. While the current Ronaldo would actually pass the ball to his team mates to score a goal. I'm glad we that we already got a mature and efficient Ronaldo who is now a team player. He doesn't have to score all the goals every time. The most important thing is he plays well for Real Madrid to win the game. The Bernabéu appreciates technical plays, but hates ball hogs that dribbles too much. I'm glad Isco already got that excessive dribbling out of his system. He's now a much improved player now that he goes for those quick efficient passes.
the old Ronaldo played to entertain the fans but the current Ronaldo plays to win the match for the team...
Great , interesting video, I didn't realise the complexity behind his transfer
I remember when this happened just after Euro 2000 I believe. I thought it was a sick joke. Until I saw him in his 1st game I still didn't believe. To have lived through that omg
finally outside premier league topic.
keep it up! thankss
Something similar to this but with Sol Campbell could be awesome!
Another great video, this series is absolutely brilliant boys
Great content mate keep it up.
absolutely love these
Tito football your creativity in making these videos are simply outstanding. Do such things on other interesting topics on football. Your work is truely praiseworthy. Keep it going
This video cleared up a lot of questions for me.I initially thought that Figo moved because he wanted to move to what he thought was a better club and make more money etc and that people who were angry at him were dumb but now that I know Figo lied about everything makes me more understanding.Thanks.I think Ronaldo is the most loved player of all time :D He played for both Inter and AC Milan,fierce rivals and he also played for both Barca and Real also fierce rivals granted he didnt move from one to the other rather moved from one club to a different one and then to the rival club but I feel like there would be some animosity from the fans but I havent read on bad thing
He clear up alot of things for me Figo nevet wanted to leave Barcalona and the fans hated him they thought he turned their backs on them
mindo61600
this video did cleared alot and the crap that I read like Figo believed that R.M was a better team and shit like that.... but I guess I read it on madrid fan pages so ofcource they are bound to be fabricated!
mindo61600 in away he kinda did. He risked his name at Barca risked his career there and obvious decent to get money (whether a new contract or or the 1.9 mill). Plus the things he said when he got transferred was terrible. Like saying he dreamed of playing in the bernabou, or saying he came to win titles.
Ps I am unbiase i don't support neither team
Figo said "I'm not that mad to do such a thing", and he did it, fkin liar.
I saw an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo saying he would stay at Man Utd, just a few weeks before he went to Real Madrid. Same little rat.
@@Koksn_Todorov Good thing there's such thing as contracts and workers are free to work wherever the fuck they want.
Entitled football fans.
Probably your best video to date.
Phenomenal.
thank you for finally explaining to me what really happened at that transfer deal. honestly I was shocked when I heard Figo was going to Real Madid. Thank you for the information
this channel is just wonderful. keep up the great work!
Thank you Lucas!
Who’s here in 2022 upon the release of “The figo case” to Real Madrid on Netflix. One of the most controversial transfer.
Your videos are amazing mate
Keep up the great work
Great job guys on the video.
Always was curious about the story of why Figo switched sides and now I know.
Very well explained and informative. Thumbs up.
Thanks for making the already great videis funny..keep it up!
Amazing video, as always. Keep up the great work, mate!
you guys make and present one of "theeee best" videos on the internet..amazing :D
Wow I never knew the intricacies of this as a Barca fan! I'm about to tear up haha. But this is fascinating.
hey guys love the videos, love the insight. In light of Juventus revealing their new club badge today, I think a video on the history of a clubs badge and the reasons for including or excluding certain elements as they've changed could be cool. keep it up!
One of the best football channels on youtube. Love it.
Cheers Tom!
What about Santiago Munez?
Your videos are just class!!!
I must say this video and the channel in general are dope!
As somebody who got into football long after this it’s so weird to think of Figo as anything other than a RM player. Him with Zidane and R9 represent galacticos to me and you always see him as a Real Ambassador. With the kind of sophistication and glamour usually associated with Real I can’t imagine him as a Barca hero, proudly repping the club like iniesta, Xavi or Pique
Lies again? Los Angeles Institute College
This was next level!!!! I remember this.
Absolutely love this channel
Definitely the most interesting channel going.
Wow. Love your mini documentary. Very well
You guys honestly deserve so much more praise and way more views and subs than you do have. You guys are better than the pundits on MOTD. Fact.
This channel is insane... Keep it up! I would love for you to talk about why FC Internazionale went from the best to mediocre. The whole saga about Massimo Moratti leaving and Erick Thohir taking over the club. Inter having won the UCL in 2010, suddenly doesn't make the top 5 anymore.. After José's success years, they have had Rafa Benitez, Leonardo, Stramaccioni and Mancini again. What happened?! And having players who are fairly unknown (don't mean it in a bad way). That would be interesting! Same goes to their arch rival, AC Milan. Once again, great work!
Wow, what an amazing story. I had no idea how incredibly bizarre and insane the details of that transfer were--it makes me wonder how he handled that situation.
Can you do a False 9 WhiteBoard Tactic? would be very interesting
Watched 25+ videos... nt sure if i dont have what to do or this videos are too awesome!!
Let's go for the second one!
current favourite channel on youtube.. hats off to you all
Honoured!
"I hate you now for the love i gave you then" relate 😢
All hell did break loose when this transfer happened , think it caused a riot ! Great vid again 😊
Great video I have to say I didn't know a lot of this
Great videos keep it up!!
That’s the kind of owner you want! One that will wound and hurt your rivals to their core, breaking them, making them realise you have outsmarted and outmanoeuvred them! Perez really is the kind of individual you need to be in football
very informative stuff. keep it up
Florentino Fucking Perez. 😂😂
He gets what he wants.
neymar
+CmMiz 101 I've been longing for that.
Evans Nyikuri Except De Gea 😉
Neymar, Suarez, De Gea, Gomez, and most importantly, Messi, which he's still trying to negotiate for even today.
Another great video. As mentioned by others, didn't know the details. Keep up the great work. And, could you guys do a video on Ferenc Puskas and his Hungary team, or maybe Denmark's Euro win without Michael Laudrup, or his playing style? Such an under-rated player.
Simply excellent
please do one on the Ronaldinho transfer from PSG to Barcelona and how he drastically revived Barcelona from the Figo departure.
This video brings a great joy in the hearts of Real Madrid fans 😁
amazing story telling bro 👍🏾
Great video. Great channel. Keep it up
We will!
Excellent video, I think this was THE transfer that change all transfers in Footbali. After Figo, the transfers fees and players paychecks just sky rocket. At the time the amounts where insane, and everyone think that Real will ended up bankrupt. But the money they make was so insane, that clubs realize they could spend a lot more money. Figo went out because Barça never tought that Real ever buy Figo, and tought that Figo was bluffing.
Brilliant channel!
Ahahhahahahah what a fascinating transfer, never knew about the details, was only 7 when this happened, this is why I love this channel man!
This is a great video.
I didn't know half of this stuff
I never knew that story...brilliant.
brilliant. thank you
Perez is a GENIUS!
excellent content so far. found you about 3 weeks ago and have been watching religiously since then. Keep them coming. would be nice to follow up with Fenómeno as you'd catch some traffic from the recent article done on him and it would make sense thematically as a follow up to this one.
this was really good
This is a very very interesting video. I didn't know any of this!
Wow man great video. I would recommend it to all cules just so they know about the inner ongoings of one of the most notorious transfers in football history. But the hate for Figo runs so deep that I'm doubtful it'll make any difference now and change people's opinions of him.
I love your videos and artistic cartoon style it lifts my spirits
Fascinating. Always wondered how it happened.
amazing analysis
Amazing video
I love this channel great job
Thanks Jose!
I fucking love this channel so much, goddamn, honestly such great content guys keep it up
You genius Flo.
So, Perez's journey starts from there and it continues...
Now I understand why Barca fans hate "Papa Perez"
