Benzema, Vinícius and La Liga's second XI: Faysal argues Real Madrid's case to twenty fans for Zac Djellab

The comment section is busy with Pau Cubarsí, a muddled Ballon d'Or year and one debate that never got its turn.

1 Real Madrid Fan V 20 Premier League Fans

Zac Djellab's 1v20 usually puts one of football's big names in front of twenty fans. John Terry and Jamie Carragher have both taken the chair. This time the one is a supporter: Faysal, a Real Madrid fan, sitting across from twenty followers of Premier League and European clubs, from Spurs and Arsenal to Burnley, Bayern and PSG.

The chapters lay out his four claims. When it comes to the Champions League, nobody can talk to Vinícius Júnior. Karim Benzema would have been the greatest striker the Premier League has seen. La Liga's best XI, and even its second best, would beat the Premier League's first choice. And Kylian Mbappé should win the 2026 Ballon d'Or.

It drew more than 134,000 views in its first 14 hours. A new video here usually ends its whole first day near 17,000.

The viewers who wrote in keep picking at the detail. Several point out that the panel only took on Faysal's second-best La Liga team, never the first. A long thread argues over Pau Cubarsí, Barcelona's young centre-back, after Faysal stood up for him. Others correct a panelist who mixed up the year Rodri won the Champions League with the year he won the Ballon d'Or. Someone even timestamps the moment the old line about doing it on a cold, windy night at Stoke came up in the Benzema chapter.

Many are also surprised to see Faysal on this channel at all. The shorts Zac posted around it went back to Premier League arguments: Steven Gerrard, Pep Guardiola and Leicester's title.
