00:00Why don't we go across the pond, cruzando el charco, Cumba, as they would say in Mexico.
00:08Let's talk about what's going on in Europe, starting with Spain.
00:11You mentioned Hendrik, you mentioned Real Madrid.
00:13What are your thoughts on these new Galácticos?
00:15I know Galácticos, man.
00:17Right now, Real Madrid is not in first place like everyone thought it was going to be.
00:22They're having a rough start, you know, they just tied with Las Palmas.
00:27But Hendrik scored a goal.
00:28So I think it's looking good, I think it's only going to get better.
00:31I think everybody's expecting a lot from these Galácticos of Real Madrid.
00:35But I don't know if we should really call them like that, because they're not real Galácticos.
00:38We're players that are at a better level than the ones that they have right now.
00:41Excuse me, sidetrack a little bit, but I remember that potential mega-fight between Manny Pacquiao
00:46and Mayweather Jr. took forever to take place until we just sort of lost interest.
00:51Do you think that's the case with Kylian Mbappé?
00:54I mean, we've been waiting for that signing forever.
00:57Is there still that, you know, sense of excitement around Real Madrid, do you think?
01:00As a Madridista, I will tell you that, yeah, I lost a little bit of excitement.
01:04I think that he took forever to come to Real Madrid.
01:07I mean, he's still a young player and I know he's going to bring a lot to the table.
01:10He's going to give us more Champions Leagues and more championships.
01:13On the other hand, Barcelona now with Hansi Flick.
01:15A lot of us thought that coaching spot was going to go to Rafa Marquez.
01:19He's on to, I'm not going to say Greener, or yeah, pun intended, Greener, Greener Pastures.
01:26Working with Javier Aguirre, Flick takes over with Barcelona.
01:29What are your thoughts on the culés?
01:31Do they have what it takes to dethrone Real Madrid?
01:34I mean, right now they're in first place.
01:35Three games, they have three victories, nine points.
01:39They have a lot of young players, a lot of talented young players.
01:41And I think that they're definitely going to be contenders for La Liga and for the Champions League.
01:46Yeah, it's been seven years since Xavi left Barcelona.
01:50And this has been a carousel of coaches, including Gerardo Tatamartino and Valverde.
01:56And no one has really been able to replicate a success.
01:59Let's see if that will happen.
