Matchday: Inside FC Barcelona (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Enemy Territory - full transcript

A nil-nil draw would put Real Madrid
in the final of the Copa del Rey.

Barça has to score at least one goal
if it wants to reach the final in Seville.

If we want to win...
I mean we're losing.

We haven't even scored yet.
A draw is not good enough here.

We need to get in there
and make something happen.

And quickly here.
The ball needs to move quickly.

And if we have to play three at the back,
we play three at the back.

Here and here and forward.

We have to push forward or we're out.
We have to qualify!

Or at least we have to try!
We have to shift up a gear, if not...

if they're going to try and score,
let's do it first.



Let's go! Let's go!

We have to score, we have to score.

To show that we want
to be in the final, boys.

Come on, come on, let's go!

Come on! We're nearly there.

Come on, please!

Get out there,
you're the last one, come on!

0-0 at the Bernabéu
and with this result,

Madrid will be through
to the final on the 25th May.

Here is your nigiri with eel.

I think Jasper...
you only have to know what he's like.

I think his best quality is that,

with all the competitiveness
that there is, that he's a great guy.

He can deal
with a situation like this one.



It's not easy for him,
as you can imagine.

But it's impressive the way he handles it

as well as the respect
we have for each other.

There's no point saying
negative things about each other

or trying to get in each other's way.

We have to help each other

because that's the essence
of competitive sport, right?

At the moment,
I'm concentrating on playing in the Copa

and Marc has the Liga and Champions.

Unfortunately, this is the situation

but it's because Marc
is doing a really good job.

It's very difficult to be better than him.

Normally the first-choice goalkeeper
plays in the toughest competitions

and the substitute keeper
plays in the Copa.

It's good for him to play too

and that he has a challenge
to look forward to

so that he can train well and improve.

I got injured during a training session
a few days before the match.

I thought it was only a pulled muscle

and that it would get better
in a couple of days.

That maybe I'd only miss the first leg,

but it hasn't turned out that way
and I need a lot longer to recover.

Let's try and do all the exercises
that we have to do pain-free.

If it's bothering you like it is now,
you must tell me.

Come on, let's go.
One. Go. Two. Go. Three. Go.

Four. Go. Five, stop.

My name was in the coach's
starting lineup.

I was surprised at first.

But then I knew straight away
that this was the best chance

I was going to get to prove my worth,
to show why I'm here.

You have to shoot the ball. Okay?

Don't pass it back.

Sometimes back, okay,

play a give and go and get in there.

We've got to get to the goal, okay?

Today it's the Clásico in the Camp Nou,
today it's a Barça-Madrid.

There are a lot of people, here now,
in the terraces of the Camp Nou.

It's been a few days since we've seen
this type of atmosphere

here at the Camp Nou.
Today the stadium is going to be full.

And Malcom...
Malcom completes the forwards' lineup.

We have Barça's starting lineup confirmed,
with an important update,

because Leo Messi is on the bench.

The other news from the Barça eleven

is that Cillesen is still out
with an injury so Ter Stegen

will be the first-choice goalkeeper
this evening against Madrid

here at the Camp Nou.

Let's look over Solari's
results this season.

He's had five consecutive victories
which is their best run of this season.

And it seems that Solari's team
have rolled up their sleeves.

The Real Madrid crowd
is expecting to go home happy today

after five consecutive
victories in the Liga.

Watch out in front of the area.

From here,
Malcom will play on the counter attack.

Let's go with Malcom and Philippe,
we have to get in between them.

Not one here and the other there.

Although he is here, get on the inside.

They've got three players here.

This one is at the near post, and here,
here they've only got two players.

If a player enters the area
from outside, this way.

Ivan you've got to be there
because they're going to block Geri.

Jordi, they'll be with you here.
Jordi goes to this danger zone.

Ivan is one, Malcom is four
and we need to mark these three.

Sergi and Ivan.

Guys, we've got to leave
at five to the hour.

One, two and three, Barça!

The first leg of the semi-finals
of the Copa has just begun.

Barça-Madrid.

Vinicius touches the ball in his position
on the left flank, he enters the area,

with Semedo in front of him,
he passes the ball back again...

Toni Kroos receives the ball
and shoots...

That was a clever save by Ter Stegen.

And Leo Messi is on the bench
talking about the match

with the goalkeeper coach
José Ramón de la Fuente.

This is a typical scenario
when Messi is on the bench.

Once again Karim Benzemá has got
this match off to a spectacular start,

he passes to Vinicius.

He makes a centre pass towards
the far post, where Benzemá is waiting,

- Benzemá controls the ball.
- Karim receives the ball and kicks...

Lucas Vázquez shoots and scores.

He shoots the ball and there's nothing
Ter Stegen can do about it.

The ball enters the back of the net.

Ter Stegen looks unhappy.

He's down on the ground.

You try and protect the goal
and nothing happens.

But sometimes you fail.

There are eleven players
fighting to win on the pitch

and in the end it's a team effort
but you're the last one.

It's an even harder pill to swallow

when you concede a goal.

Suárez to Malcom,
come on Malcom, come on!

There's no offside!
He faces up to Keylor.

The assistant referee
has raised the flag.

The pitch is clear.

But Suárez is the only one there with him,
the ball for the Uruguayan,

- Malcom is on the ground...
- Malcom has been fouled by...

- I think by Marcos Llorente.
- Yes, by Marcos Llorente, yeah, yeah.

Watch out, Malcom steps up
to take the free-kick.

Now that's we've got him here,
would anyone like to ask him a question?

Why do you like football?

When I was a young boy,

when I was with my friends
in the street too,

we always played football.

I grew up in a poor neighbourhood.

I wanted to play
in the street with my friends.

Back then I always had to fend for myself,

even when it came
to finding a ball to play with.

We made a ball

by wrapping sticky tape

around a ball of paper

and we used our flip-flops as posts.

Our flip-flops were the goalposts

and we played like that, five-a-side,
four-a-side, three-a-side.

This is my little brother.

He's very good-looking.

I didn't have any money and I played
football in the street with my friends.

Do they play for a team now?

No, no, as we were very poor, we...

some of them are in prison...

everyone got on with their lives

and in my case I thank God,
my family and my friends

that I've been able to play football.

My grandmother always helped me out.

She sold pots and pans
so that I could train

or have something to eat after training.

My grandmother really helped me.

And today I try to help her,

because she is the main reason

why I've been able
to achieve my goals.

Watch out,
Malcom is going to take the free-kick.

Malcom centres the ball,
the ball is inside the area,

Piqué jumps,
header from Piqué, over the bar!

Malcom moves forward with the ball,
he takes it, Malcom continues,

he dribbles the ball, he's keeps it,
he passes to Suárez...

Jordi Alba inside the area.

Neither team has the ball, Luis Suárez
reaches it first, header from Suárez!

The rebound ends up
on Malcom's doorstep, come on!

Malcom shoots...

Goal, goal, goal!

A feeling of...

relief.

The first people I thought about were
my mum, my grandmother, my girlfriend

who always give me their support,
who are always by my side,

giving me encouragement.

I'm sure my grandmother cried,

full of emotion and happiness

that her grandson
was shining on the European pitch,

just as she always said to me,

don't forget everything
we've been through,

everything we've lived through together.

The match has ended with a 1-1 draw

which means that the semi-finals
of the Copa

will be decided at the Bernabéu
on the 27th February.

I'm ready to accept my mistakes.

Because mistakes are part of our job,

it's not the end of the world.

It has happened to me now,
it's happened to me in the past

and it will happen to me again
in the future.

Sometimes you feel a bit
isolated being the goalkeeper.

Playing in goal is a position
that makes you be more individualistic.

Whatever position you play in

there are always mistakes
which you think about more than others.

And in our case,

the goalkeepers always end up
paying more for them.

It's 12:30 am and as you can see,

I'm standing outside the Camp Nou,

which means that once again
I'm going with all the Barça fans.

This time we're off to the semi-final
of the Copa del Rey.

The first match against Real Madrid
ended in a 1-1 draw.

So the return match at the Bernabéu
is going to be...

a pitch battle!

Come on!

Are we nearly there?

Yes, it's not far now.

Have you ever been
to the Bernabéu before?

- Yeah, I've been quite a few times.
- Ah, yeah?

Yeah, I've been to Villarreal, Levante,

Zaragoza...

Loads of places.

- To Liverpool.
- Liverpool too?

That's my dream.

I've always said, I don't want to die
without visiting the Liverpool stadium.

The fans are so passionate.

They spend the whole match
cheering on their team...

Well, I'm not a member yet,
I belong to a Barça supporters club,

the one in St Petersburg.

We have Barça supporters clubs
in Russia too,

two in Moscow and one in St Petersburg
and I'm from there.

I've got a YouTube channel,
with twenty videos,

almost all of them are about Barça.

I just wanted to show people
who don't have the chance

to visit other stadiums with Barça;

what it's like,

and I think it's turned out quite well.

Sergi, do you see Geri as coach?

No way, man.

Busi, would you do a lot of strategy work?

Yes.

Would you be one of those
annoying coaches

which do half hour
strategy sessions?

No, but we'd have
to do something, right?

Not half an hour, no.

No, but you can do it quickly.

Carles, do you think Busi
would make a good coach?

Sure he'd be great.

He might even coach you.

- How old are you?
- Twenty one.

You'll be coaching in ten years time.

Ten years, eh, you'll be 41.

Plus I'll be a coach...

A serious coach, with a schedule.

- Exactly.
- It's important to follow the rules.

- With fines.
- Yes.

I was playing for Nàstic de Tarragona

and Nàstic and Real Madrid
had a good relationship.

It wasn't the first time that they had
shown interest in a player from Nàstic.

My dad supported Madrid,
not anymore though.

My whole family supports
Barça except my dad.

But I didn't end up in Madrid or anything
because Barça contacted me

and when they got in touch with me
I was sure.

I've been a culé since I was
little and I was so happy.

I remember that I was warming up

and Leo scored a goal

and I'll always remember the moment
when he came up to us

right where we were warming up.
I've seen that moment a thousand times,

I run out there jumping up and down,
with my hair a bit longer than it is now

and then with the 0-2,

Pep called me out to go and play.

It was my debut in the Champions League
and you just want to do it right.

It was an experience to enjoy,
it was like a prize for me

and I'll never forget that night.

You have to place it
on your right, on your right.

Second Clásico in less than 25 days.

The Bernabéu is ready
and here with me I've got a group

who have come all the way
from San Francisco, California.

- How long is the flight?
- Ten hours.

People from all over the world
come to the Santiago Bernabéu.

From Mexico, Morocco,
Israel, Venezuela or Qatar.

Everyone is here together.

It is an event, a high-risk match,

more than 1600 people are involved

in the security plan of this event.

Two hundred and fifty members
of the national police force

and the police intervention unit

as well as 1200 security officials
from the stadium

who are in charge of getting
the 80,000 spectators into the stadium.

Matches against Real Madrid, especially
in their stadium are always special.

When you arrive at Madrid's stadium,

there are always lots of people outside
singing and chanting.

I guess that when the Real Madrid coach
arrives outside

they're even more motivated
but then when we arrive afterwards

we always get the typical insults.

It also has its good side
when you're on the visiting team,

the way the fans shout at you,
say things to you,

the hate they show
in their faces towards us...

it's part of football, part of the show.

The starting eleven of Barça is shining,
more than anything because he's back.

Listen up, Messi is playing.

I say this because it's the question
that everyone's been asking you recently.

Important news, because Leo Messi
is in the starting lineup.

And from the beginning Barça
needs to watch out for Vinicius.

I think he's a player who is showing
that he has potential

and an amazing future ahead of him.
- Here we've got a player.

And personality too.

Tonight is an important night
for the Madrid fans.

The general feeling is that here today
everything is at stake.

Right, guys, we're here.

If I'm honest, I'm a bit nervous
because it's an important match.

There's only about half an hour
before the match starts.

I'm confident that we're going
to beat Real Madrid.

Go team!

The truth is that when
you're playing in a Clásico

at the Bernabéu

you try and distract yourself

and not think about the type of match
you're going to play in.

When you're in the dressing room,

you see that everyone is really
concentrating, doing their things,

the pre-game ritual
that every player has.

There are things that I do knowingly,

like my gloves,

but it's not superstition

it's just part of my normal routine

in preparation for the match.

Guys, one minute
and then we'll be going out.

They've got Benzemá
on the near post,

Ramos,
Varane will be with Gerard,

if this happens,
you've got to come out Busi.

Every time we play around here,
they come out in full force.

If we lose the ball, we're screwed.
We can't lose the ball.

We must keep the ball.
When we have the ball, they suffer.

We're going to turn the pressure up in
their area, make them feel uncomfortable!

We're going to keep the ball moving,
we're going to be strong!

Come on, go team!

We need to stay calm,
we have to think about the other day,

be clever and let's use it
to our advantage. Let's stay calm.

If we go out looking for trouble,
it will be worse

because then we'll have
everyone against us.

We're going to put more pressure on them,
let's find those spaces,

let's go and play.

Let's go out there strong,
together for whatever comes at us.

- One, two and three Barça!
- Let's go!

When they're a bit further back,
if we have possession for a while,

it will mess with them.

Let's go!

And that gets into your head.

When you have the ball,
it gets into their head.

Let's be strong, let's go, go!

There's a part of the job
when you recognise all those feelings

because you go
through so much for so long.

But you always feel nervous...
come on, it's impossible not to.

It's always like this.

It's a stadium which has
really tall sides.

It feels like the spectators
are more on top of us

than when it's an open pitch
with an athletics track or even our one.

The Santiago Bernabéu feels more closed

which makes you feel
the more pressure from the rival fans.

But we always have our supporters up
in the right-hand corner

when we come out onto the pitch

and it's always difficult to hear them
but we always feel their support.

Let's recap.
A one all draw in the first leg

which means a nil-nil draw
would put Madrid in the final

but if there is two all,
three all or four all draw,

Barça will go through.

And whichever team wins
will obviously qualify.

Vinicius tries to dribble,

he passes the ball back to Luca Modrić
who plays a first-touch pass...

It looks like Semedo tripped
and fell on top of Vinicius.

That's right.

Messi has the ball.

He plays it wide to Dembelé.

Dembelé inside the area,
left flank, centres, far post.

Centre pass to far post.
Suárez is waiting.

Ball for Sergi Roberto in the box
and Reguilón appears out of nowhere.

Suárez doesn't keep the ball,
he centres the ball into the box

so that Sergi Roberto can arrive,
a shame because Modrić got there first.

Vinicious goes to shoot!

Vinicious over the bar.

Well done Junior.

Be careful Vinicius has the ball.

Watch out he's got room
up ahead of him.

Ball for Karim Benzemá
who dribbles it past Lenglet.

Lenglet shows up but doesn't get the ball.
And almost commits a foul.

Dembelé passes the ball
back to Rakitić,

let's see if he plays a centre pass,
he centres it towards the far post.

He's looking for Sergi Roberto
who wants to pass it to Suárez,

I think there's been a foul,
the referee blew the whistle but late.

- Yes, he blew it.
- Sergi Roberto is really sharp tonight.

He's attacking a lot on the pitch.

He's got the ball on the left foot,
Vinicius shoots.

Lenglet blocks it well.
Ball goes to Benzemá.

- Benzemá shoots!
- Karim to score,

Karim strikes, Ter Stegen!
Ter Stegen saves it with his foot.

Jordi Alba has come out fast,
it's three against three.

Messi, nearly fouled,
he keeps the ball.

Dembelé is on his own
down one side.

Piqué receives the ball,
Messi tackled and he's on the ground.

The referee should have blown the whistle
if Barça loses the advantage,

finally he's blown the whistle.

At the moment,
he's not being strict enough.

The referee needs to take back
control of the match.

Half-time.

One minute of injury time
that has almost been wasted.

Sergio Ramos is always
using his elbows, man.

Use your heads, guys,
use your heads!

This is what they want now, that we
start getting nervous and all that.

If we need to play three at the back,
we play three here and here and forward.

Move forward with the ball,
with more players and if not here and here

and if we've got to put the ball in there,
do it, but we've got to go for it.

We need to move forward
because if don't we're out.

We have to qualify.

Barça has to score at least one goal
if it wants to reach the final in Seville.

If Barça qualifies it will be
the sixth consecutive year

that they play in the final.
It would be an absolute record.

Madrid has the ball, careful
as Modrić sends it into the area.

Karim Benzemá receives the ball easily
inside the area, in front of him Piqué,

it's a one on one, he passes it back.

Jordi Alba to Dembelé
inside the area, he pushes forward.

Suárez shoots and goal!

Goal, goal, goal, goal!

Let's see if Vinicius goes
for an individual action,

he enters the area, he moves in,
he holds against Semedo.

What an amazing save by Ter Stegen
and a spectacular play by Vinicius.

Ter Stegen shows us his best again.

Marc has an incredible personality.

And he plays at a really high level.

I've never met a player like him
who can stay so calm in times of stress.

Ter Stegen is tough,

and he's always ready
for whatever comes at him.

I don't think he's ever missed a match.

He makes incredible saves, he's one
of the best goalkeepers in the world.

In fact, I never wanted
to be a goalkeeper.

I always wanted to be
a striker and score goals.

But when I was 10 years old,

I started playing further back
until I finally reached the goalposts.

They gave me an ultimatum:
you leave the club or you play in goal.

And I told them
"I'll play in goal because I like it."

And that's how I became a goalkeeper

and things have turned out okay.

Ball for Semedo.

Semedo to Dembelé,
he's in the area, there's no offside.

Dembelé looks to pass
to Suárez on the far post.

He centres it to the far post,
Suárez arrives and goal.

Goal, goal, goal, goal!

- Own goal.
- Yeah, I think so yes.

Barça have scored.

The tackle by Varane,
pushed the ball into their own goal.

Hold on, Suárez has the ball.

Wait, Barça is back for more,
this could deepen the wound.

And he's got Messi with him.

He's going into the area,
Casemiro's left foot is there.

He dribbles, he's down in the area.
Penalty!

Wait because it's a penalty
for Barça who could make it 0-3.

Suárez to take it.

Suárez scores a "Panenka" penalty.

He shoots a Panenka!

Goal! Goal!
Goal, goal, goal, goal!

After the second and third goals,

we felt as if the stadium
had turned itself off.

That deafening noise had disappeared.

The Bernabéu is like the opera.

Yes, sir, people are leaving
and their faces are a picture.

The referee raises his whistle to his
mouth signalling the end of the match.

Barça is once again a Copa finalist.

For the sixth season running,

Barça has reached the final of the Copa.

They needed to win,

they needed to score

and they did both of these things
here at the Bernabéu.

Well done, guys, well done.

Come on!

Another victory here, come on!

We really took them down!

Photo, photo!

We could play here every Sunday!

Eliminating Madrid
from the Copa del Rey,

they'll never stop being
our eternal rivals

and to beat them is always
like an extra point

but if you eliminate them from
a competition, it's means a lot more.

It's become a routine,
it's no fun winning here anymore.

0-3, 0-4, 0-5.

I didn't see you after the first goal,

but after the penalty I did see you
waving at me, you were in the stands.

Really?

Yes, yes, they went like this.

Let's speak later, sweetheart.

Tur, come on tomorrow
we've got football.

What's that, my love?

You saw it?

Ah, but you saw that daddy
didn't score the second goal.

Ah, you saw both goals...

It's a really important match for him.

I had it in the back of my mind
and I wanted to do everything I could

so that he can play in the final.
So that he can show his worth.

What I'm going to do is enjoy myself,

I'm going to enjoy the match
and well... I'm looking forward to it.

How are you?

- How are you?
- Congratulations.

This is the Theatre of Dreams
at Old Trafford.

This is where I'll triumph.

I bought a rabbit
and it tore the place up.

When was the last time you won?

I'm not answering that.

But will you play hard
in the training sessions for a day?

We are obviously a family of footballers.

Come on. Let's go, guys.

Keep it up, we have to keep going.

Right now,
Old Trafford looks impressive.

Barça is up against
the quarterfinals hurdle.

He's so tall, but he never hits anybody.

Good, Gerard Piqué.

He kicked the ball far away.

Messi is on the ground.

I think he's bleeding.
