00:00The hate each other. And I never thought I'd see the day football legends beefing over who
00:11had the biggest confidence until I heard about the hate between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano
00:16Ronaldo. See, it all started back in 2014, right before the World Cup qualifiers, a game that would
00:22decide who's taking their home country to the World Cup. But the mind games started before that,
00:28because during an interview, Zlatan got the question between Messi or Ronaldo. And you know,
00:33he had to get Ronaldo's ass. My guy really had to start the beef right before the biggest game of
00:40his career. So you know, Ronaldo wasn't going to let that shit slide. So heading into the game,
00:44Ronaldo had to hit hard, scoring and doing the goaded celebration on Zlatan's head. But it didn't
00:50end there, because Zlatan got his revenge scoring a header and a free kick. That's when he really
00:55pissed off Ronaldo. And we all know Ronaldo's fetish with being clutch. My man started licking his
01:00lips after Zlatan scored the free kick. That's when you know, shit's real. Three minutes later,
01:05this happened.
01:06Now, it's Ronaldo who can break again. And can he kill the Swedish dream? He has done surely.
01:13And two minutes after that, this happened.
01:15Yeah, Ronaldo bounced Zlatan home and pro honestly couldn't rebound after that. Yet he still kept
01:28yapping his mouth about Ronaldo. Because later in the season, they had the face-off again,
01:32but this time at the Ballon d'Or Gala. And when given the chance, Zlatan had to try and get Ronaldo
01:38again. Bro really tried disrespecting one of the goats right in front of him. And worse yet,
01:51he voted Ronaldo as the third best player in 22 times already. Zlatan should have learned his
01:56lesson, but nah. In 2023, when he retired, we all thought the beef would be over. But Zlatan took
02:02is talking to an interview with Piers Morgan, where he kept running his mouth about Ronaldo.
02:07Was Cristiano Ronaldo's bicycle kick, goal, the best you've seen? And you said yes.
02:14You still think that?
02:15I was being sarcastic.
02:16Oh, you were?
02:17Yes.
02:18You meant yours.
02:18There's not many understood.
02:21So you think yours was better?
02:22100%. I said in an interview later, you should try it from 40 meters. It's a big difference.
02:27Oh my god, bro. Zlatan's really taking his whole piece.
02:31But what if I told you two players started hating each other over a mid-girl? See, back
02:37in the day, this girl was married to Kevin DeBrowna. But all of that would change. Because
02:42while he was married to her, KDB used to hang out with one of his best friends, Thibaut Courtois.
02:47And let's just say all three of them became a bit too close to each other. While chilling,
02:52playing FIFA, Courtois was making the move on his ex-wife, Caroline. He would ask her stuff
02:56like, should we golazo and chill? Because even though Caroline would deny his offer,
03:00he would eventually destroy everything. See, while going on a trip to Madrid, Caroline
03:05hit Courtois up, asking if he was available for some golazo, but without the chill. And
03:10let's just say Thibaut had that W-Riz. Hell, she even went out in public embarrassing KDB,
03:16saying stuff like, Thibaut gave me more in one night than Kevin gave me in three years.
03:21Thibaut must be rocking down there. But once Kevin saw the news, that's when shit turned
03:25on the side. Because it turned out he had W-Riz on his own, since he had been sleeping with Caroline's
03:31best friend on the side. I swear, this is some crazy-ass triangle drama. But the hatred didn't
03:36stop there. Because in 2023, they would get the chance to settle the beef on the biggest stage,
03:42the semi-finals of the Champions League. And that's when KDB got his revenge.
03:47Yeah, not only did he score, Man City bounced Real Madrid out with a 5-1 win, clapping Courtois'
04:02ass one last time. But next up, it's something bigger than fighting over chicks. It's one of
04:07the biggest rivalries in all of sports. Because throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s,
04:13the rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal was unmatched. They were arguably the Premier
04:18League's two best teams, but nobody hated each other even half as much as Roy Keane and Patrick
04:24Vieira. Throughout their illustrious careers, there were many intense battles between them,
04:29with each one getting more heated than the last. It also didn't help that Roy Keane was as
04:33unpredictable as Kevin Hart's mouth. I mean, this dude was a straight-up rule-breaker.
04:38Phil, Roy Keane, and Paul Idds coming into direct confrontation. Just one of the many.
04:44Entering the field without the referee's signal? That takes some serious balls. But that's not all.
04:50This man ended Alf Holland's career.
04:55Oh, Roy Keane on Holland.
04:58David Ellery.
05:01Come on, dude. That's Erling Holland's dad.
05:04Bro just became Norway's number one enemy. But imagine taking that hate and taking it up 10
05:10levels. That's how he felt toward Patrick Vieira.
05:20Every time these dudes faced off, you knew there was going to be fireworks. But in 2005,
05:28tensions were at an all-time high. See, in 2004, nobody could stop Arsenal. They became the only team
05:34to ever finish a 38-match season undefeated. This helped extend their winning streak in the
05:39Premier League to a record 49 games. So naturally, it was only right that a nickname emerged.
05:46The Invincibles. After 49 games of perfection, Man United did what others couldn't. Beating Arsenal
05:522-0 in one of the most biased refereeing displays English football has ever seen.
05:58Against Spurs. Can it be a penalty against Arsenal? Yes, it can.
06:04Square it. Rooney. Yes, Wayne Rooney.
06:07Fast forward a year later, and the loss still felt just as painful. But now, they were running
06:12it back. Roy Keane wanted to press some buttons. That along with some other words exchange led
06:17to this.
06:32All that, and the game hadn't even started yet. That hadn't even left the tunnel yet. So when the game
06:38finally kicked off, both teams desperately wanted to win. That's when a young Ronaldo took over,
06:43scoring twice in the second half alone. In the end, Man United prevailed 4-2. This also gave Roy
07:03Keane the upper hand in their head-to-head rivalry. In 12 Premier League encounters, Keane has four
07:08victories to Vieira's three. But even though Keane got the last laugh, not all instigators come out
07:13victorious. You see, it was supposed to be another Premier League match between Man United and
07:18Liverpool. Because anytime these two teams face off, fans can expect a thriller. But on October 15th,
07:242011, it became much more than just a football game. During the game, Luis decided to make it
07:29personal. His target? Patrick Evra. He uttered four words a footballer should never utter.
07:35Porque tú eres negro. In English, this translates to, because you are black.
07:39Unfortunately for him, I speak Spanish, and I say, what did you say? And he said, again,
07:46the N-word. And he said, anyway, I don't speak with any N-word.
07:51Yeah. Evra had every right to be furious.
07:54I don't want you to ban Luis Suarez, but I just want to be rewarded because I didn't react. Because
08:00imagine that day I was punching him. All the TV, all the kids, they will see me like me punching
08:05Luis Suarez, and I will look like the villain. So naturally, it was only right that the Football
08:10Association investigated the matter. And just two months later, Suarez was found guilty of using
08:15racially abusive language towards Evra. His punishment? An eight-match suspension and a $40,000
08:21fine. Surely my man should put on his big boy pants and apologize, right? Wrong.
08:26Ro continued to double down on his actions, only making the situation worse.
08:31You say in the book that the word negro means something different.
08:33No, cada cultura tiene su forma de hablar, su forma diferente, y por eso es totalmente diferente
08:40a como se explica en Inglaterra, como se explica en Uruguay, o en España, ¿no? Porque negro
08:46en Uruguay le puedes decir a cualquier persona, a todo el mundo, en todo momento, y no en ningún
08:50momento es racista por más que seas negro, no seas negro, y por eso también es lo que
08:55te llamo...
08:56Sheesh, bro pissed on the toilet seat. For reference, this is the same dude who bit
09:01not one, not two, but three players. But it gets worse, because one Liverpool player had
09:08the audacity to take Suarez's side. I mean, Jamie Carragher literally wore t-shirts supporting
09:14Suarez. He turned into Suarez's biggest fan, defending him at every turn. However, the one
09:19difference between Suarez and his former teammate, Carragher actually had the common sense to realize
09:24his mistake and apologize. Well, there's no doubt we made a massive mistake. You know,
09:29that was obvious. As a club, we got it wrong and we're all part of it. I was vice captain.
09:34Carragher isn't the only person to misjudge the situation. When it first happened,
09:38Evra explained the situation to the refs, only to receive this response.
09:43On the pitch, I said to the referee, did you hear what he just said? He called me with the
09:48n-word. Come on, Patrice. He called me with the n-word. Play, play, play. We're going to deal with
09:53that later. At this point, everyone was getting involved in the situation.
09:56What do you think England handled it as someone who's perhaps been through similar circumstances?
10:01So I think they handled it fairly well. I think it's a difficult situation. There's no absolute
10:06way to deal with this situation. Unfortunately, the fans also decided to get involved. That's when
10:12Evra started to fear for his life. Wow. This dude was speaking his truth. And people were
10:42calling him a liar and threatening to murder him. You gotta feel for the guy. Plus,
10:46it's only right that Evra got his revenge. Nothing says revenge like celebrating a W
10:57in front of your enemy. But you don't have to guess with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He'll always tell
11:02you what's on his mind, for better or worse. Because any man who compares himself to a lion
11:07is going to have his fair share of enemies.
11:10Put yourself on the pictures believing you were a lion.
11:12Is that right? I am a lion.
11:14You are a lion.
11:14Man, that clip never gets old. But in 2010, Zlatan didn't turn into a lion. He turned into a
11:20martial artist. And spoiler, his kung fu move nearly killed a man. But first, we need to rewind.
11:27Because when someone messes with Zlatan, things are gonna get personal. And if you don't believe me,
11:32ask Marco Matarazzi, aka Matrix. It was a 2006 matchup between Juventus and Inter Milan,
11:38when all of a sudden, Matrix turned into a one-man wrecking crew.
11:46Yikes. Bro just poked the bear. And when you poke the bear, it's only a matter of time until you pay
11:51the price. But unfortunately, revenge wouldn't be easy. Zlatan tried to return to the game,
11:56but he was in too much pain. The Matrix wound up winning round one. Then, over the next few years,
12:02Zlatan became the ultimate season. Inter Miami vs AC Milan. That's when he finally got another
12:08chance to play against Matarazzi. Ironically, the two were teammates on Inter Milan. But that
12:13didn't make a difference. Zlatan isn't quick to forgive. It also didn't help Matarazzi's case
12:17that he fouls Zlatan in the first half. The rest was history.
12:21A kung fu kick and a flying elbow? That's one way to send your opponent to the hospital. Zlatan
12:35showed no remorse. When asked, why did you do that? Zlatan responds, I've been waiting for this
12:41moment for four years. That's why. And if that's not hatred, then I don't know what is. Oh, speaking of
12:47which, I just got a message from Zlatan. He's telling me he's been practicing kung fu every
12:51day since retiring. Hey, so if you don't click on the video on screen, he's coming for you next.
12:55But hurry, he's not one to be patient.
