I went on a stadium tour of Malaga's stadium back in like 2012, when they were in La Liga and had players like Van Nistelrooy and Caballero. They were so genuinely surprised to have some tourists come to their stadium for a tour and we got a private tour of the stadium with all access and free gifts and signed postcards at the end. Awesome club!
I remember that match against Dortmund, how I supported Malaga and was more than thrilled when Eliseu scored, only to have my hopes destroyed when Santana's offside goal was not disallowed. However, many people forget that Eliseu's goal, as extraordinary as it may have seemed, was just as obvious of an offside, so it's not really fair to criticize Dortmund for that one. The only ones clearly in the wrong were all the referees who were on the pitch that night.
As a Malaga fan, you're a legend for making this. We have become an absolute laughing stock, and I'll be honest even I didn't know exactly what was going on. This video has helped me understand the situation better 😄
Didn't even notice that till your comment. 😮 That's how people talk about the Premier League as if it is that close between the top teams when it's usually a duopoly too. 😬
Congrats to anyone who had 'A Knockoff Jar Jar Binks impression' on their HITC Sevens Bingo Card. A researcher, video editor, content creator and now a distinguished voice actor. Is there anything Alfie can't do?
Your football documentary series is genuinely some of the best footballing content on TH-cam. Keep working your magic Alfie, it's always a joy to watch!
As a “Malaguista” I’ve been wanting a video like this for ages, and even better it’s been by you, let’s hope they can get back to the champions league 🙌
Had the privilege of going to Malaga's stadium when they were in the Champions League. Seen Van Nistelrooy casually leading a mini training session on the pitch.
What a video, what a channel. In the world of TikTok and shorts, I'm always glad to see a creator who clearly puts alot of effort into his videos. Keep it up our kid. 👍
I usually hate it when people only pick out the mistakes in videos like these, but at 7:00, isn’t Manuel Pellegrini Chilean, rather than Argentinian? Love these “what on earth is going on” videos nonetheless Alfie, clicked on this one as soon as I saw it was out.
Alfie thanks for making these videos! Love more obscure football stories but don’t have much time to investigate them myself. These videos are perfect!
I have a video idea! About Edinburgh Hearts and how they were ruined by Lithuanian/Russian businessman Vladimir Romanov, who also ruined one of the best lithuanian football club FKB Kaunas and also almost ruined best basketball team in Lithuania Kaunas ,,Žalgiris". Would be nice to have this story widespread and since you do have very professional and honest dives into a topics, I might even learn something I did not knew! Thank you for your work!
Fantastic analysis as always Alfie, just one minor correction though, Pellegrini is chilean, not argentine That being said, sublime content as usual, also the Jar Jar Binks toned impression at the beginning was just exquisite
Malaga are one of my favourite Spanish clubs ever but served them right for trying to be like a big overnight even after losing to Borussia Dortmund controversially in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League at that time even when they knew that they were a real smaller club in their history by only winning a title and their recklessness in their transfer spending and revenues which ultimately made the Spanish FA to investigate and filed a case on them regarding this,good friends!!!They are now in the Segunda Division which is the La Liga Smartbank which I have been watching almost all of the respective matches through You Tube and congratulations to Malaga by beating Alcorcon away at 1-0 to resurrect their season even though,they are practically struggling in the division at the moment with just a win out of their last 5 matches despite being in the 10th spot of the standings!!!I wish them well in the remaining of the season and kickstart next season strongly,good friends!!!
I used to live there, I’m an Atletico Madrid fan, I’ve been a few times to La Rosaleda( Malaga’s stadium) there’s a great atmosphere. It’s so sad to see that they play in Segunda. I really hope that they will come up to La Liga. It’s a club with a rich history and the city is also beautiful. The club deserves better.
Just watched this video as a ex pat and west ham united man I now live in the Malaga area I always wondered what happened to Malaga CF , now I know thank you Alfie great video (as usual) , they still get large crowds the Guru Army (ex pats mainly English) still go home and away, Thanks Again for the video
hitcsevens love your work especially the fact that you covered the entire world and not just top league can you please do TP Mazembe 2010 World Cup please I’m sure people would love that story
Hi Alfie, I do like watching your videos as they are quite different from the most of the other football related videos here on Youtub! I have a suggestion of making a video about a small football club called DALKurd FF. In 2004 a group of young Kurdish migrant (diaspora) in small town of Borlänge in Sweden established this club. In their first year the average age of their player were only 17! Dalkurd won every division they participated in from their very first season in 2005 to 2009. Owing to this uncommon success they got a lot of media attention, both in Sweden and abroad, and finally in 2018 they promoted to the Allsvenskan Sweden’s top devotion football, and they did all that without any outside financial backing! I believe this is an interesting story
I really do cherish these videos. If you’re interested could you maybe take a look at a few (maybe 7 or so) interviews conducted by players or managers that had damning consequences? Or something along those lines. Lukaku’s interview was the inspiration for this suggestion.
I remember a suggesting this a while back Thanks for making a video on it I didn't read the article on it cause I like your narration so I waited and forgot about it. Great vid♥️
Great video, very insightful and nice to see lots of people care about what's happened. Sadly it's all too common nowadays, definitely in England anyway! Hope Malaga can sell the remaining 51% share ASAP and return to enjoying the beautiful game again
@HITC Sevens For your what on earth is going on series, are you planning to do a video on Birmingham City. I remember around ten years ago they won the carabao cup, and are now in a relegation battle in the championship.
I remember back in 2008 I went to La Rosaleda stadium in Malaga for the first time with my grandpa and watched a game, I may have been 7 years old but will never forget the feeling I had seeing it and how proud I was of being Malagueño. The club since then has fallen to obscurity. My grandpa is still alive and well and we smoke a cigarette every time malaga wins… which is almost never now days. Hopefully something changes in the club, but until then the blue and white flag and scarf will remain strung up on my wall. 💙🤍
@@21hazza a huge bribery scandal. Kinda a sequel to one that happened some years ago. People fixing games by controlling the ref appointment, misappropriation of subsidy money, personal vendettas ...
Could you do: 7 3-way transfers, 7 best underdog youth league runs or 7 luckiest players- talent in comparison to titles won or players played with. Thanks
Can we see similar one to real zaragoza? I don't know why they are stuck in segunda division, they had a great team couple of years and were regular in laliga
Unlike the owner/former owner of Malaga I don't happen to be connected to any war crimes. Therefore I hope I am also able to make better suggestions about football as I suggest: Day 6: Top 7 second/amateur teams in football (Hertha BSC II which almost won the DFB Pokal, Real Madrid Castilla who lost to their first team in the spanish cup in 1980 but got into Europe, Wellington Phoenix Reserves who play in the NZ National League)
I used to live there, family still do. With regards to the port that was a plan from the very beginning as was the sport city. Basically from what I've heard, both the Malaga and the Marbella Councils approved the plans for both, but supposedly the plans then have to be approved by the Junta de Andalucia which is the regional or county council. Anyway, the Junta de Andalucia is based in the main Andalucian city which is Sevilla. Plans were rejected at that level and the belief was that they were concerned about Malaga overtaking Sevilla and Real Betis in terms of size and desirability etc. Its fairly believable, the 2 cities don't really like each other mainly due to the boom Malaga has had from tourism
Another great video Alfie. I’m amazed by your quality and quantity, amazing work ethic. I do have a video idea(s), I was wondering if you could make a video on the Americans who you think could become the best out of U21 players or 7 MLS players who could make it in Europe
I would like to see a video ranking the most successful non football sports franchise owned by football owners. My top 5 1. Boston Red Sox (Liverpool) 2. LA Rams (Arsenal) 3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Manchester United) 4. Denver Nuggets (Arsenal) 5. Rakuten Golden Eagles (Vissel Kobe)
BVB Fan here. Just to make it clear Malagas second goal wass offside too😉😅 This game make me pass out for a few seconds... too many emotions. But i wish Malaga all the best! Nur der BVB!
Can you please do video about biggest Legia rivals - Lech Poznan? They have one of the best academies in eastern europe and produced many talents recently.
If La Liga had worked out a better TV deal for everyone, Malaga would still be in the CL and Real/Barca wouldn't be so desperate for a new revenue source.
Idk why I always used to misjudge Malaga thinking they were a banter club during their golden era, I would definetly had become a fan if I knew better, I still like the team though. Its truly a shame on what's happening to Malaga
I remember trying to do a FM save with them when this happened. They had such a tasty squad. Just as in real life, it went to absolute shite. Lost Isco and Rondon within a month of starting the save. Joaquin finished the season with like 4 assists and an average rating of 6.6. Van Nistelrooy was my top scorer with only 13 goals in all competitions despite playing in pretty much every game. Demichellis got injured in September and was out for the rest of the season and couldnt get any decent signings. Finished the season 15th and then threw the head up and quit in sheer disappointment 😂
I gotta agree with the prince on the wealth distribution the prem has fair distribution thats why teams like brentford brighton and villa can compete better against the big clubs and why the prem overall product is the best
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 256) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
How about ‘where did it all go wrong at Barnsley?’ Following the new ‘Conway out’ campaign. And how every club in the pacific group is battling against relegation following on from you episode which covered Brentford and Barnsley
Madrid and Bacekiba would never let any other teams take their spotlight. In the early 2000s 2 teams were threatening their duopoly: RC Deportivo la Coruña and Valencia CF. Nowadays Coruña is down in the 3rd tier after a series of "upsets" and "poor refereeing decisions" that keep preventing them from climbing back up, and Valencia is facing relegation. Coruña has become a glorified B team for Madrid and La Masia currently survives off of syphoning Valencia youngsters and has been doing so since the late 2000s/early 2010s. Madrid and Barcelona are what's wrong with Spanish football and always have been

Cant believe that was 9 years ago already, I remember celebrating early and feeling deflated minutes later , sad to see what has become of them
Eliseu was offside too lmao justice was victorious that day
I‘m a Dortmund supporter and I remember how wild it was… wish I had the opportunity to see it in the stadium.
just about to post the same comment lmao. i miss that dortmund team😥😥 we could have done great things if they'd just stayed together one more season.

7:19 that league table is crazy just 4 points between 9th and 18th

That intro had me crying
Had the privilege of going to Malaga's stadium when they were in the Champions League. Seen Van Nistelrooy casually leading a mini training session on the pitch.
I am 32 seconds in and I didn’t expect that start 😂
Thank you for actually addressing fans of these new "superclubs" who ignore the terrible things their owners do
Seeing My local club fall so far from grace has been really sad and unjust. Thank you for making a video on it Alfie!

@@HITCSevens You've probably been asked this enough already but do you plan on doing a video for Oldham Athletic?
Yes!

I always make the same mistake with Pellegrin. For some reason in my mind he is Argentinian. I probably mix him up with Mauricio Pellegrino.

That was the greatest intro of all time. Great video as always, Alfie!
That intro where Alfie did a voice caught me off guard ngl, I've never heard him do that before 🤣
HITC Sevens never fails to deliver. That intro is hilarious.
That intro was a thing of beauty
I am a Malaga fan and this video was so sad…
Your intro sums up why I don't really care about football anymore except for international championships.
Ahh yes Malaga, the "so that's where they were" club on FIFA back in those days
Thank you for this video, it's very informative as to what is going on at this club.
Love the reference to Roy Hodgson's infamous interview.

Great video but that Cazorla pronunciation makes me cringe 😬
This video is getting liked and saved in a playlist just for that intro
"Ooh shinny new signings"

sorry to be nit-picky, but at 7:00 you mention that Manuel Pellegrini is Argentinian, when in fact he is Chilean.

It'd be worth making one of these for Santos FC, in Brazil. Similar fall from grace to Malaga and Wigan Atheltic.
Santos FC were in the Copa Libertadores final just 2 seasons ago what do you mean fall from grace? Lol
Great video! Only correction: Pellegrini is Chilean, not Argentine
As a long time "boquerón", I'm grateful for this video. Cheers Alfie, you sexy Englishman ❤️
You should do Racing Santander. It is even worse than Malaga!
I can't believe people are still doing Jar Jar Binks impressions in 2022.
I mean, it made me laugh, just caught me off guard.
Do a part 2
If La Liga had worked out a better TV deal for everyone, Malaga would still be in the CL and Real/Barca wouldn't be so desperate for a new revenue source.
Idk why I always used to misjudge Malaga thinking they were a banter club during their golden era, I would definetly had become a fan if I knew better, I still like the team though.
Its truly a shame on what's happening to Malaga
I remember trying to do a FM save with them when this happened. They had such a tasty squad. Just as in real life, it went to absolute shite. Lost Isco and Rondon within a month of starting the save. Joaquin finished the season with like 4 assists and an average rating of 6.6. Van Nistelrooy was my top scorer with only 13 goals in all competitions despite playing in pretty much every game. Demichellis got injured in September and was out for the rest of the season and couldnt get any decent signings. Finished the season 15th and then threw the head up and quit in sheer disappointment 😂
