00:00Then there were only two.

00:02BSG and Chelsea.

00:04And, Chiba, my friend, you must be shaken,

00:08taken aback, destroyed, emotional after that,

00:13demolishing.

00:14And that's why we brought you a gift.

00:16Do you have a gift for you, Chiba?

00:17Wow.

00:22Valió Madrid.

00:23Valió Madrid.

00:25No, no, give it to me. Give it to me.

00:26I'll keep it here, handy.

00:29Chiba, what happened with Madrid?

00:31They seem to want to go on vacation already.

00:34This game didn't seem to matter as much to them

00:37as it did for PSG.

00:38That looked really on point.

00:39What happened to Madrid?

00:40Four reasons to be sad.

00:42They got overscored.

00:43But let's face it, it was three bad mistakes,

00:46but the defense, no excuses.

00:48PSG is PSG.

00:49El campeón de la Champions.

00:51But at the end of the day, man, 4-0 is tough to talk about.

00:55I don't know if I want to cry.

00:56I don't think he wants to come out.

00:58But to get serious, I think PSG deserves to be in the final.

01:01We talked about it.

01:01We said that it was a team to beat.

01:03Right now, you know, they're going against Chelsea,

01:05which is a really good team.

01:06But man, PSG all around overplay Madrid,

01:10and it is what it is.

01:11It's time to go home.

01:11A las vacaciones.

01:12So I'm going to take this off right now

01:15so we continue this.

01:17What is the secret to PSG's success right now?

01:19All right, so first of all,

01:20they didn't have to play Real Madrid in any semifinal match.

01:24So there's that.

01:25That helped them out.

01:25And I don't want to say that they had an easy route,

01:28because they were still playing against giants like Fluminense from Brazil.

01:31They did great.

01:33And they have this tactical cohesion.

01:35They're smart in their play.

01:37They play beautifully.

01:39But I have to say, this signing last minute from Brighton for 60 million pounds,

01:45João Pedro has been absolutely amazing for them.

01:47Scored both goals against Fluminense, his childhood club, by the way.

01:52But the question is, is it going to be enough to face PSG that just rocked Real Madrid 4-0?

01:57It's going to be tough for them.

01:58But yeah, Chelsea's a great team.

02:00I think they also deserve to be in the finals.

02:01So this is going to be an amazing matchup.

02:03So now, before we go and analyze what is going to happen in the final,

02:07we want to recap the semifinals because they were massive, massive game.

02:11And that's why we are joined by Alex Crespo.

02:14Alex, what was your favorite moment of the semifinals that brought really,

02:18really high level soccer?

02:20I mean, both of these games were really shocking results.

02:224-0 in the Madrid game.

02:25I'm sorry, Chiva.

02:27But I mean, I think those goals in the Chelsea game against Fluminense were just amazing.

02:32João Pedro, like, really brought it out.

02:35And they were a banger of goals.

02:37I mean, it was just these goals you did not want to miss.

02:40And I think that we really got some goals in the tournament with these.

02:44It could be said that the Europeans still have a domination over the global landscape.

02:51But also, if you are really looking at it, that was not the case.

02:55That was a lot of moments with the Latin American teams.

02:58They play a really high level.

03:00But is the gap closing?

03:03And there was just lack of luck in some of these results?

03:07Or Europe still is ways out from the level that we have in Latin America?

03:13One thing that I want to point out, and for everyone not to forget, is that most of the

03:17key players for the European teams is the American players, South America and North America.

03:23And that's why you see they have the success that they have.

03:25If it's a little bit closer, I do believe that especially teams from South America have

03:29always been very competitive against the European teams.

03:32Nowadays, it's very tough to compete with a team like PSG and Chelsea because they got

03:37more money and better players.

03:38But at the end of the day, I think that overall in the tournament, we saw the Latin American

03:41teams definitely, you know, making us proud.

03:44It was incredible to see the Brazilian effort go all the way, giving, you know, two representatives

03:52in the top eight teams in the competition.

03:54But now we have the top of the crop.

03:57We have the best of the best.

03:59Chelsea, for me, is a dark horse in this competition.

04:02They might have, though, an opportunity to upset Paris Saint-Germain.

04:08Now, Nick, do you think that the changes that Paris Saint-Germain is going to have to do

04:14on their roster will give an opening for Chelsea to maybe give us one of the biggest upsets that

04:20we can expect?

04:22It's definitely a possibility.

04:23I mean, anything can happen, especially, as I said before, with Chelsea's, like, last

04:27minute signing from Brighton, Mr. Pedro himself, who's been absolutely amazing for them.

04:31So we're going to have to see how he plugs into the team against PSG.

04:34But PSG, I think, no matter how you dice it up, are going to be absolutely brilliant.

04:39They were absolutely brilliant in all of their matches in this tournament.

04:42They were absolutely brilliant in the Champions League back home in Europe.

04:46So we're going to have to see.

04:47And just on that last point that we were talking about, too, let's not forget also

04:50Al-Hilal.

04:52Saudi teams have also shown out in this tournament and are also showing that that gap is closing

04:56not only between amazing clubs in North and South America and Europe, but also in Asia

05:01as well.
