00:00Who do you think are the top five Latino players right now in Europe?
00:03Top five Latinos, and I mean, I honestly have to say immediately,
00:09Los Argentinos are always standing out, and that's...
00:11That's surprising, I didn't think you were going to say something like that.
00:13Yeah, it's a very surprising take.
00:14Guys, come on, if we're talking world-class football, we have to talk about Los Argentinos.
00:19I mean, we got players like Lautaro Martinez, who is el goleador de Inter Milan right now.
00:23He has taken them to the first place.
00:24And the leader, the moral leader.
00:26He's always been like the player that has changed the face of the team
00:29when the team is down, he's the one that scores or take that tackle
00:33or make the effort to change the face of the team.
00:37I mean, yeah, they are in first place for a reason,
00:40and I think it's Lautaro is the main el matador, let's say.
00:44He led them to the Champions League success they saw last year.
00:46Without him, uh-uh.
00:48I know, but players like Lukaku got in the way, and you know, just like...
00:52Well, I'm thinking back when Alexis Sanchez was there.
00:55Alexis Sanchez, another of the big Latino players in Europe.
00:57Now, in second place, who do you think?
01:01I have a name that I think is right there in the top three,
01:04and I'm just going to drop it there for my Colombian friends out there.
01:08Luis Diaz is probably the most scary of all the Latino players right now.
01:13What he's doing in Bayern right now, but what he did at Liverpool the previous seasons
01:18is just set him up in a different stage.
01:20I mean, honestly, it was very upsetting to see him leave Liverpool in the first place
01:24because, you know, they had built such a foundation with that team,
01:27and then to see him go to Bayern, which is honestly, like, a really good move for him as a player,
01:31but then as, like, if you look at it in the eyes of Liverpool, you know, they lost a very key player.
01:37They obviously finished in first place that season, but then now you see that they're, like, you know,
01:42más o menos.
01:43Yeah, but Bayern went ham with the signings, and with Kane and him, it's like, look at them now.
01:48That's why they're unstoppable.
01:49You know, talking about Liverpool, we have to mention another name,
01:54and I know it's Argentinians, so you're very happy, McAllister.
01:57McAllister.
01:57McAllister has also been the heart of that team.
02:00I feel like there's a reunion brewing there.
02:03McAllister, Xavi Alonso.
02:04As soon as Xavi gets a chance to put his signature training behind Liverpool,
02:10I think we're going to see a very successful run right there.
02:14Let's put another name in the bracket.
02:16Nick, any candidates?
02:18Let me step outside of the box here for a moment, okay?
02:21Because it's not just what's on the pitch that matters.
02:25Simeone, an amazing coach.
02:27Sorry, again, you know, we're keeping it in the South American and Argentinian.
02:32Simeone, it's a different reader.
02:34He's a different reader, but as a manager, I just want to say that Latinos are making impacts off the field as well,
02:40in a managerial sense, and so we've got to be cognizant of that as well.
02:44And I mean, this is a manager that is having the luck of being able to coach his own son on the field, too,
02:50so we are seeing a father-son duo, you know, like a little LeBron and Bronny James action.
02:55Well, not quite, but this is a way better duo.
02:58Simeone Jr. is actually a good player that deserves to be there and not just giving to him.
03:04Now, let's talk about some of the guys who paved the way for this new breed.
03:09I want to bring some of the names that really, as a Mexican, I have to bring the very first one
03:14that really captured all the headlines, the one that really won the first, you know, important records,
03:21and that's the one and only Hugo Sánchez de los Pumas.
03:24Unfortunately, he never had the success with the national team or with Pumas, for that matter,
03:30like he did in Spain, right?
03:32He had Pichichi with Rayo Vallecano, with Atlético de Madrid, and then several with Real Madrid,
03:37really paving the way for the teams to say, hey, wait a minute, Latin Americans can actually be superstars here.
03:44And then from there, there were many to follow, right?
03:46Like, at the same time, Maradona.
03:48Yeah, el mejor.
03:50Su nombre y luego los demás.
03:52Nick, another mother?
03:54I'll give you another Mexican.
03:55Ooh!
03:55I dragged my poor mom to go see Barcelona in 2006.
04:01You probably know where this is going.
04:02Yes.
04:03Sir Marquez in the back, solid player for Barcelona.
04:05Barcelona has benefited a lot from amazing Latino players.
04:09Right now, I know that we're not, I guess, including Brazilians, but Rafinha right now with Barcelona is great.
04:14I guess Brazilians are, I guess, in their own.
04:17Yeah, yeah, true, true, true.
04:19But Marquez, another great Mexican who definitely made a mark.
04:22And then we talk about Diaz.
04:24Who is giving the crown to Diaz?
04:27Mr. Hamis.
