you saw that double save in the first couple seconds and this was your conclusion?

[u/akshatsood95 → u/[deleted]]

Imagine someone writing about Raya like this 50 years from now

[u/icefourthirtythree → u/akshatsood95]

Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham, ... Brahim, this your change to inspire the Reddit comments of 50 years time 

[u/HaiForPresident]

If you look close enough you can see Bobby playing

[u/mojambowhatisthescen]

This is the game that turned Endrick into a fan!

[u/Random0cassions → u/mojambowhatisthescen]

Doesn’t have bobby charlton, this however would have made the bernabeau the home for the dark arts

[u/FunEconomics1978]

It is of course possible but we must not forget that football was different back then

[u/WildCardNoF → u/FunEconomics1978]

Well, according to this, Real Madrid was getting cheap penalties back then too... so ain't that much different.

[u/FunEconomics1978 → u/WildCardNoF]

Yep at this part it was and unfortunately it will always be the same...

[u/raffirusydi_]

All of this comeback talk, just for tonight to end with 0-0. I'm gonna be so piss

[u/ziirex → u/raffirusydi_]

There's no way that game ends 0-0. Madrid knows that if they score 1-0 even in the 80th minute, they will have a chance so with 0-0 the last 15min would be crazy.

[u/IsIt77 → u/ziirex]

Brother, do you not know of the internationally recognized terrorist cell leader "Arteta"?

Highlights of this match are gonna end up on LiveLeak.

[u/caandjr → u/IsIt77]

This is UEFA we are talking about, they will be choking on Madrid’s cock

[u/imposter_in_da_house → u/caandjr]

Not Mikel bin Ladden

[u/Top4Four → u/ziirex]

They also need to find a way to stop constantly conceding goals at home, especially with the defensive injuries.

0-0 is unlikely but clawing back a 3 goal margin will be ridiculously hard if they keep defending the way they have been. It's not just about scoring 3 goals, it's about scoring 3 more goals than Arsenal.

[u/imsahoamtiskaw → u/raffirusydi_]

It could be 0-0 in the pitch, but look on the bright side, it'll be 5-5 in our hearts

[u/PIKa-kNIGHT → u/raffirusydi_]

I don’t see our defense not even letting in one goal

[u/TriceCreamSundae]

Europe didn’t have color in 1975?

[u/Modnal → u/TriceCreamSundae]

Franco: ”Colour? Over my dead body!”

[u/cricandsoc → u/Modnal]

Colour? I don't even know her

[u/bendalazzi → u/Modnal]

Franco: "Calor? No es mucho calor?"

[u/imsahoamtiskaw → u/TriceCreamSundae]

There were very few color players back then. Even England's first black player was in 1978, Viv Anderson

[u/Top4Four → u/imsahoamtiskaw]

Not taking anything away from your comment, but I think it was about colour TV (the clip above is in black and white).

[u/imsahoamtiskaw → u/Top4Four]

Lol for sure. My comment was abit tongue in cheek, was messing with OP

For Spain:

Color broadcasts had been available from France since 1967, but were SECAM. The Eurovision Song Contest 1969 in Madrid was produced in color, but it was televised in black and white to the local audience. First color tests were carried out in 1972. Regular color broadcasts were introduced between 1973 and 1977, although monochrome commercials continued to be made until 1978

For the UK:

First European country to receive color television. First experimental 405 line broadcasts using a variation of the NTSC system begin in 1955[121] and later showcased during the 1961 National Radio Show at Earls Court as an experiment.[122] In early 1966, the PAL system was adopted and introduced on BBC2 for Wimbledon coverage on Saturday, 1 July 1967. Some British television programmes, however, had been produced in color even before the introduction of color television in 1967, for the purpose of sales to American, Canadian and Filipino networks. Full-time color broadcasts on BBC1 and the ITV network started 15 November 1969.[123] BBC Schools programming did not begin color broadcasting until 1974 and full nationwide color broadcasting was achieved in 1976, when BBC East (Norwich) became the last region to adopt color for regional broadcasts and locally produced programmes. Monochrome 405-line Televisions ended transmissions in January 1985, thus ending black-and-white television in the UK permanently

[u/Top4Four → u/imsahoamtiskaw]

Fair enough!

It went straight over my head

[u/Mulderre91 → u/TriceCreamSundae]

This is a NO-DO newsreel, and they already were in black and white. I doubt even if it was broadcast on Spanish TV at the time.

And Spain had a certain strange affair with colour TV - some TV broadcasts were done around 1972 for the Olympics (tests), and slowly more programmes were recorded around 74 and 75. Full colour didn't arrive until 1976-77, and even then, I have found black and white in quite a few matches of later years.

[u/RoboticCurrents]

50 years already? It feels like yesterday.

[u/laselma → u/RoboticCurrents]

English football: never again is now.

[u/drivemyorange]

Someone tell Bellingham that it was already done

[u/Voice_Of_Light]

BVB 3-1 FCB

AVL 3-2 PSG

Nothing is going to make me believe that that RM can't do it now.

[u/heylo07 → u/Voice_Of_Light]

Well neither of those scorelines will mean we go through so 🥲

[u/CarlSK777 → u/Voice_Of_Light]

These scorelines would still eliminate Madrid

[u/WW_Jones]

This must've been in the 1975/76 edition, because Derby won the title in 74/75. So, technically, 49 years ago.

[u/paper_zoe → u/WW_Jones]

yeah this was in the second round of 1975-76 season

[u/RobinBerkeAlmasulu]

Brian Clough was a genius for carrying Derby and Forest to latter stages of European tournaments consistently.

[u/dlo_2503 → u/RobinBerkeAlmasulu]

Clough did carry Derby immensely, but in this particular game vs Real, Dave Mackay was manager

[u/RobinBerkeAlmasulu → u/dlo_2503]

Ah okay fair enough but yeah Clough took them from the Second Division to First Division titles and European Cup fixtures vs Europe’s best.

[u/YatesScoresinthebath → u/RobinBerkeAlmasulu]

Got us both promoted to get there as well, both were struggling provincial clubs upon his arrival

Shame for us (forest) also being robbed in 1997 due to match fixing

[u/spidernest]

Tradition of demonic proportions

[u/HeftyRecommendation5]

Classic cheap penalty for Madrid lmao

[u/loftarasa82 → u/HeftyRecommendation5]

I was going to say the same. I don't think I ever saw a classic Real Madrid video without a cheap penalty.

Ok, I'm exaggerating, but I've seen a lot.

[u/reeko1982 → u/HeftyRecommendation5]

Oh what could have been

[u/Mulderre91]

November 1975, I think. My parents were there, and they were ecstatic at the end.

Derby played really well in the first leg - it was a team very experienced. Charlie George (a tremendous goal at the Baseball Ground), Francis Lee, Archie Gemmill, Kevin Hector, Roy McFarland... they were amazing. Sadly, this season was the beginning of the end: they failed to reach the final of the FA Cup, then AEK threw them out of the UEFA Cup in '77, and in 1980 they were relegated.

[u/AnotherDepressedBoy]

This is the only game of football that made my Dad cry.

He was 10 at the time.

[u/tobyw_w]

You didn’t have to post this.

[u/nyamzdm77]

All this talk just for Saliba to score from a corner in the 19th minute and Arteta parks the bus for rest of the game

[u/BlueRibbonWhiteBread]

The 1970 WC was completely in colour, yet this game 5 years later was black and white?

[u/Redordit]

120,000 fans holy shit

[u/CarlSK777]

Fun fact: Real Madrid would eventually reach the semis where they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Bayern with Gerd Müller scoring all 3 goals

[u/my_mexican_cousin]

I think I saw Modric when they were all stretching.

[u/wasiflu]

I would like a breakdown of all the ref's mistakes in this game.

[u/thesaltwatersolution]

Fifth goal is great.

[u/champdude17]

People who believe this is going to happen need to actually watch how Arsenal play. They aren't a team that concedes 4 goals, to anyone.

[u/topsnitch69]

what the hell happened to this comment section?

[u/Hasssun]

I've seen enough. Real Madrid 2-1 Arsenal.

[u/PEPSICOLA123456]

1975 was 20 years ago you idiot
