00:17welcome to another episode of five aside on being sports we have a lot to discuss today with some
00:22amazing champions league action as we now know who is set for the semi-finals on top of that
00:28much more going on in the league on with felon balagan scoring and now seven straight games the
00:32first player to do so since neymar but of course it's actually insane and we're going to get into
00:37it um and there's some action as well in turquia but first we do have to talk about the champions
00:42league and the biggest matchup of this round in terms of the press at least would have to be
00:46atleti versus barca and atleti got the win in advance on aggregate despite losing to barcelona
00:53the mean did all the talk and he was able to get his goal but atleti goes through what are
00:57y'all
00:57thoughts on this matchup i think uh unfortunately lamina mall lost a little bit of aura on this one
01:03no yes yes i'm sorry i think he did his part i think lamina did his part what you can
01:08do your
01:08part but if you go out there and say the rim and tata is on the lebron and everything lebron
01:13james
01:14if you would put the picture of lebron james as your profile picture you're indicating that you're
01:19going to take over the game holding the trophy and carry your team yes to the comeback yeah he did
01:24what he did all he could but he didn't do that it's fair he didn't even 3-1 did not
01:29carry his
01:30team to the comeback and it's not a knock to him i think he's an incredible player he scored a
01:33goal
01:33he had an assist yeah amazing but he lost a bit of aura he said he was gonna do something
01:38he didn't
01:39do it i will agree like there's that the chelsea game the psg there's been a couple big games leading
01:44up he's done a little social media thing if you do that i respect him standing on it but i
01:47respect him
01:48i respect it too it takes some big cojones yeah yeah but you know what i'm saying it's only you
01:53can only do something much it's true y'all thoughts i mean it's the level is to be like lebron
01:58man
01:58lebron turned his phone off during playoffs yep that's a great way to put it lebron ain't posting
02:02nothing he goes 30 he said he don't talk to his family or nothing yeah shout out to atletico
02:08yeah man you know simeone the way that he's trying to end obviously his career that would be crazy if
02:12they pull this off i think they can i would say sad what do you think i called the let
02:15he win in
02:16the series yeah you did um i think they can i think they're they face a team that is very
02:24beatable
02:24in sporting lisbon or don't do ors because this will come out when the truth so let me talk more
02:31about the impressiveness of this win yeah yeah i think i think their next opponent is very beatable
02:36frankly um frankly and because of that i think this is really a season for them to to kind of
02:44do it it's so poetic it's something on his last season and i think when you watch letico madrid
02:48in these types of matches it's like a trauma bond uh festival yeah like at the end of the game
02:56like
02:56the sigh of relief that you see from atleti is all to their knees yeah knees yeah all of them
03:01collectively what's the trauma man the trauma is the 90 minutes of of suffering that already
03:06the brand of the brand of football that they play is is we we will suffer together yeah and and
03:12i
03:13think you were saying it when we were on the train watching the game you were like yo like you
03:16just
03:16have 10 minutes like yeah you can rest nico gonzalez he like the gases you got 10 minutes that's really
03:21how they play like they leave every drop of energy like when they make a tackle to watch when they
03:26make
03:26a tackle they up like pumping their hands going crazy yeah you could tell they putting everything
03:31into it in their stadium stadiums it's a cohesive unit it's a cohesive teams are going to be rocking
03:36during that he's built he's built an identity oh for sure in the face of like tactics and yeah
03:42tiki taka it's true let's play out the back he's built an identity that is so different that it's you
03:47almost want to root for it nah but big shout out to atleti and speaking of teams that get it
03:51done
03:51psg is coming for that repeat man of course two nil in both legs four nil in aggregate no remontada
03:58for liverpool advance to the semi-finals there's been a lot of debate if they're as good as they
04:03were last season but they just keep getting it done balandor dembele a brace they're getting it
04:08done despite what anybody thinks that's true he brought up trauma listen last season round of 16
04:12they got it done at handfield so you know trauma your body reacts when it's in the same situation again
04:18absolutely i mean dembele's first goal seemed like it was just a training the training goal
04:22just passing to the corner he's finding his form right now absolutely in the best time psg looks
04:27threatening man the second goal for me was the one that showed me like dembele is full of confidence
04:31because it's a breakaway i think barcola's running on the left he takes it dembele takes it in stride
04:37with his right and just bangs it near pose with his right foot like a bullet and i was like
04:43yo that's a
04:43man in form weak foot yeah i guess he doesn't really say that's the thing you don't know he
04:47doesn't really have a week he's gonna do because he's so good with both feet he took one touch
04:51boom near pose he said yo i was like nah he's that's a finish bro yeah that's a finish so
04:57he's
04:58feeling it he's feeling it right now what about that jordan kit too not that i'm because i'm wearing
05:01jordan but i think it's one of the more underrated psg jord kits absolutely love it i think y'all
05:05are
05:05being nice to liverpool right now i mean they've been cooks for so long i don't have much more to
05:09say
05:09yeah they've been so i don't know how they got past galatasaray going to send that ball gentleman
05:15at the helm home or what solid chance but i could see him getting one more season he did win
05:21he did
05:21win a league title in his first season yeah and liverpool has only won two prems in the last 30
05:26years so winning that league title is a big deal but so i could see him getting one more but
05:29people
05:29do say that team was jurgen klopp's team yeah and we're forgetting how much they did this whole
05:34rebrand oh yeah 180 mil yeah yeah words uh uh the striker who's been going east side 180 million
05:43uh 200 mil i forgot about him yeah you're playing mind games yeah it's not his fault it's not his
05:53fault but he's been absent it's true it's true and so it's like yo you you put all that money
05:57up you
05:58brought in all these new players and i think a few of us said it it was too much change
06:02yeah it was too
06:03much change in one don't fix what's not broken you don't know what i mean yeah it needs to for
06:06one
06:06year maybe it's a couple years yeah exactly next up we have byron munich who unfortunately got past
06:13my guys in real madrid but i think they were the obvious favorites in it they got the big win
06:17at
06:17the santiago bernaballo did what they needed to do of course the alianz arena clear favorites for me i
06:21would say to win the championship yeah honestly it's their champions league to lose yeah front to back
06:26the most solid team left in the tournament bagging goals left and right that front three is
06:31undeniable i don't think a lot of people are really upset or surprised by this result arsenal
06:38advance past sporting lisbon onto another champions league semifinal for the gunners i think it's
06:44probably the expected result needed we think they can go on and win it yeah the pressure's been
06:47high needed that they needed that one the gunners gunned them down i mean i think it's a shame because
06:53i think uh sporting lisbon was having a great season especially having watched them and how they
06:57dispatched the photo glimps i really expected them to come in with that same fire that same
07:02fervor and honestly take care of business against arsenal team that going into the game a little
07:07bit wishy-washy but arsenal did what they had to do and i think potentially they can use this kind
07:12of as
07:12like a you know when you're you're you're going through a difficult time and something positive
07:18happens to help you out best thing that can happen finally maybe you realize rock bottom wasn't so far
07:24down that you could potentially move forward let's see what can be done now crazy well moving on from
07:30the champions league but staying in europe we got to take it to league on where for lauren balogan
07:35has just scored in his seventh straight legal match and he's the first player to do so since
07:41neymar in 2022 insane he's literally playing like neymar right now the door one more like what do we
07:48want to say about flooring balogan man like this is actually incredible form to be seen from the us
07:52men's national team player this is neymar statistics his best case scenario for us he's literally his
07:58best case scenario just like stay healthy stay healthy i in fact i would take a dip in form right
08:05now
08:05for usmnt if he just stays healthy the worry is at this level of output something becomes a little
08:13bit more if like you get a target on your back at that point yeah defenders start closing in a
08:17little
08:17quicker and i really really just want to stay healthy so that would be my message is congratulations you
08:24approved that you own that number one spot yeah frankly brother please just stay healthy yeah some
08:28other exciting news in the footballing world obviously we were at afcon we cover african football
08:32and congo is looking to add some new dual national stars to their world cup squad we have senny mayulu
08:39from psg el chadai pizziabu from rb leipzig as well as anthony milambo from brentford um so that would
08:47be three major players to add and especially mayulu yes he's one of the best young midfielders in the
08:53world outside of like the guys who are starting every single game but pure talent he's unbelievable i've
08:57seen a lot of disrespect when it comes to congo um like a lot of people being like oh like
09:01congo's in the
09:01world cup yo congo has one of the better teams out of the african qualifiers like the congolese
09:07national team for the most part plays in the top division in france if you add senny mayulu that is
09:14a champions league final goal scorer how many other nations consider they have someone who scored in
09:20the champions league final in the past three or four years and signals they don't know it's true
09:24put some respect on congo frankly i think congo just had a poor qualifying round yeah and i think
09:30yeah because the african qualifying round starts so much earlier than other qualification rounds
09:34the team that arrives at the world cup is so different from the team that does the qualifier
09:38yeah but congo has gone through an afcon which they performed very well and then had to go through a
09:43world cup qualifying gauntlet which they performed very well and winning all their games
09:46and are now in the world cup and are now adding more top level french league talent i think congo
09:52is one
09:52of the better african teams even though they didn't go through a normal qualification process
09:56for sure one thing we talk about here of course is the turkish league because you can watch that
10:01exclusively on being sports but we have to talk about the national team of turkia and i think they
10:06really can be a success at the south coming world cup they have the likes of ardo gulair
10:09balling out of real madrid yep keenan yield is balling out of juventus chalinaglu balling out of
10:15inter and has done so across other big european teams we also have um enes unal with bournemouth
10:21by and dear the goalkeeper for mantras united as well as ferdi carioglu on brighton um so they
10:27really have some top players across the top clubs in europe not to mention guys on the likes of gala
10:31taseray fanabache as well i think they have a legit squad excuse me a legit squad a legit chance
10:36and they play the u.s actually in their group like frankly turkey might have the
10:44they probably have a top 10 top 15 output of soccer talent in the world yeah why would they not
10:50do well with the world cup and it's a favorable group from from their eyes us us battle y australia
10:57they're going to think they're the best in that they might top that group of course i think right
11:00now they're statistical favorites to top the group even though usa's at home listen their last
11:04international tournament played well well then they got to the second round was it portugal
11:10i believe so it was a it was a bigger european nation euros you talking about euros yeah that gulair
11:15banger too no they didn't do super well in the euros i don't think i think they got to the
11:19round
11:19of 16 at least for sure that's well i mean they ran into a bigger team than them but they
11:24didn't
11:24have a bad euros they didn't like this my expectations for turkey quite frankly are high
11:28that's a good team that's right let's see how they did turkey is good i think it's portugal
11:32i think so too let's see here 2024 their domestic league is a top seven yeah they lost to portugal
11:40they lost to portugal oh no they lost to the netherlands quarterfinals they made it to the
11:45quarterfinals though okay yeah that's the quarterfinals i like their coach a lot but they
11:49played portugal lost group stage that's what happened i like their coach a lot yeah tell them
11:54tell them as a good coach again you can watch the turkish league exclusively on being sports and
11:57we'll talk to you next episode
