This is Marco Reus and Robert Lewandowski, best friends who used to play for the same club Borussia Dortmund. Lewandowski then moved to their rivals Bayern Munich (don't hate him it's very common in the German league) and this snippet is from a Dortmund v Bayern game

Lewandowski is Polish, while Reus got an ankle injury in the final match before the 2014 World Cup, forcing him out of the German squad that won the gold.

That was meant as a pop culture reference, not an anti-gay slur. YOU filled in the blanks.

...buddy what?
Someone said they played together. You said "Ahah so like they're fucking!!".
No one accusing you of a slur, you're just weirdly using pop culture out of context to bring up them banging?

You think Brokeback Mountain was about sex?
Ah, of course you do. You’ve already demonstrated you have limited vision.

They aren't rivals. They were best friends when they played together. Yellow jersey is Marco Reus at Dortmund and Robert Lewandowski is the other one in the red jersey.
Lewandowski moved to rival club Bayern Munich and this was them meeting in 2015 (I think) for the DFB Pokal semi final.
Reus would've been one of the best if he wasn't made out of glass.

I don't want to say he's one of the biggest "what-ifs" because he still had an excellent career, but I still feel like we missed out on the very best he had to offer.

He really is the blatantly missing name out of WC winners of that german generation. Insane team.

Reus is my favourite player not named Eden Hazard. His ability to hit the ground running after long spells of being injured is a quality few players have. I'll be forever pissed he couldn't be a part of that 2014 team. Should've won at least that much.

Reus was one of the best, even with a body made of glass.

Shit. I'm a Bayern fan and Reus is still one of my favourites. Him missing out on the WC2014 made me angry.

You can still best friends and be rivals on the same team. Like Naruto and Sasuke

Not actually rivals, the rivals for Dortmund would be Schalke and not Bayern. This is just former teammates meeting again.

Probably because there is some AI filter used to make the image quality better

What a trio man. That Dortmund team was so special. Challenged Bayern in their prime
Huge respect to Reus for staying as long as he did

That's Lewandowski and Reus. They aren't rivals, they used to play together for a long time at BvB. This is them playing each other after Lewa left Dortmund.

This is the most AI shit I’ve ever seen and it’s actually pissing me the fuck off that no one seemingly has called that in the 2hrs it’s been posted for. WTF???

u/Pretend-Activity-533 9h ago
It's a real video, it's just upscaled (poorly) using AI.
Here's the original video. I'm honestly not sure why they bothered to upscale it, it looks fine as it is.

u/TamZanite 9h ago
Somehow that pisses me off more

u/IRockIntoMordor 6h ago
This ugly plastic doll filter AI upscale will be a bane of the internet, just like beauty filters on social media, the Fortnite aesthetic in almost all video games these days or stretched video was before.
People will not care / not even notice and from then it becomes ubiquitous.

u/somethingoddgoingon 5h ago
Lmao i know it's real in your vid but why does Lewandowski still look and move like a character in a game cut scene

u/ArcherBoy27 2h ago
That original video is way more preferrable than this plastic looking trash upscaling. There was nothing wrong with the original.

And after the match, they locked eyes again, tension dripping, they don’t know how they end up being close, breathing each other’s breath, one glance at the mouth then back to the eyes and then, BAM! They kissed and fucked and live happily ever after lol

Its not.
11 year old post with the same video.
The players are Reus and Lewandowski, who both played for Dortmund for a while until Lewandowski moved to Dortmunds rival Bayern.

I would say "why is no one else saying it's AI" but they're probably all bots
Edit: I understand now it's not AI but you can't tell me you don't see the wild filter! Their faces and hair look like plastic. I get that I was wrong, additional downvotes are not necessary lol

u/kinezumi89 11h ago
How about that! There's definitely some kind of weird filter, their faces and hair look so smooth and uniform and plasticy compared to the footage you shared, which made me think it was AI. Why would someone apply a filter to a video of soccer players?
2
u/Mr-MuffinMan 11h ago
Oh yeah I definitely see a filter now.
No idea why because they did look off but I did remember this moment when I watched that game lol
