00:00The Champions League returns this week, Humberto, and this is the top-tier club competition in the world.
00:06The best European teams battle it out every three weeks to find the top team.
00:11PSG is the dominating force. They have won the last two editions.
00:14That's Germany?
00:15No, that's France.
00:16Okay.
00:16Paris Saint-Germain, my friend.
00:18Is that with Mbappe?
00:19That's where Mbappe used to play there, never got anything for them.
00:22He left for Real Madrid, and immediately, Paris Saint-Germain won two Champions League without him.
00:27Wow.
00:28So, Mbappe, you missed that one.
00:30But this is a great tournament, my friends.
00:33I'm going to throw some names at you.
00:34Yeah.
00:35Because, let me put my, got lost here in the sauce.
00:39Champions League, my friends.
00:41The matches for this weekend, this week, Tuesday and Wednesday, my friends.
00:45Today, we have the biggest game that we have, Atlético de Madrid versus Manchester United.
00:51Manchester United, very famous team that has been struggling for the last few years.
00:56Players have a chance to, you know, come back to the league by playing in Champions League.
01:01Remember, only the top three or four teams of each nation come into the Champions League.
01:06Some countries only have two spots.
01:07So, you get to see the best players in England, France, Germany.
01:12But also, you get Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan.
01:15You know, the ability of Champions League to bring together teams from all around the continent is really, really, you
01:22know, it's magical.
01:23Okay, so, let me ask you this.
01:24Do you value, if you're a fan of a European League team, do you value the Champions League trophy over
01:30the league trophy?
01:31Above everything.
01:32Wow.
01:33I think the only trophy that is more valuable to these players is either the Euro Cup, la Euro Liga,
01:39or the World Cup.
01:41Those are the only two trophies that are a player.
01:42But in terms of professional clubs.
01:43As a professional player, there's, like, the World Cup as an international player.
01:48But as a club player, the highest thing that you can earn is a Champions League.
01:52Now, are there ever, is there a lot of teams that don't win their league, but they're second or third,
01:57and then they end up winning the Champions League?
01:59Sometimes, yeah, because a whole different tournament, they play, you know, every three weeks.
02:03And whatever you're doing on the league doesn't really affect other than rhythm and momentum, right?
02:07But if you're doing, there's a lot of teams that do very well on Champions League, but they don't do
02:12that well in the league.
02:12Now, remember, these are the results from last season, right?
02:16So the players, the teams that were really good last season are the ones in Champions League.
02:20That success doesn't necessarily carry over.
02:21Because the roster changes.
02:23Exactly.
02:23The roster changes, the coaches turn over, and also just players are, you know, just to put context to this,
02:31players are right now participating in between 65 and 78 matches a year.
02:37Yeah, that's crazy.
02:39This is a crazy amount of miles.
02:41Because this, just so you guys put it on context, this players run no less than 10 miles per game.
02:46So we're talking that these guys are running about 8,000 miles in a season.
02:51Not even marathoners are training at that level.
02:54So these are the things that we are starting to see, like how much is too much?
02:59Because we could be watching football every day, but these guys are going to drop.
03:02I'm amazed they don't get injured more.
03:04So we're going to have someんだ AB person.
03:04I've and I hope they are doing all the things and do well.
03:04I said tonight, isn't perfect, We are doing the technical, we are doing news and
