    This was the match that broke Barney's spirit. He played his best match ever and got totally thrashed. Van Gerwen was absolutely unbeatable that day.
  • Probably, the best game of darts I've ever watched. Van Barneveld played wonderful and barely got a sniff after the fourth set. This was van Gerwen at his absolute best.
  • 2015, 16 , 17 was a magical time for darts. MVG fully motivated, Taylor and Barney, two legends still at top, Anderson at his best as well.

    6 years later - still the greatest standard of darts match ever. Amazing to watch.

    Most likely, this has been the most perfect revenge ever. The year before, MvG lost even though the averages were 105 vs. 100 in his favor. Barney actually played much better in this game (average over 109) and still got totally demolished. Unbelieavable.

    2016-2017 MVG played the highest level of darts ever achieved by a human being. Not one of the current top players is able to copy that level over a timespan of 2 years, winning like 90 percent of all tournaments. Not even MVG himself will ever be able to achieve that level again I'm afraid.

    Imagine playing a 109 average and still loose. Quality, just quality.
  • @stevewood238
    The greatest/best performance in the history of darts imo both in terms of the match and the whole tournament from MVG
  • @ettio
    It was really unbelievable to hear van Barneveld after the match. He said he was full shit, he was done.... I thought what the hell you are talking about? You played one the best matches in your career, but lost to a machine that day that was unbeatable in those years.

    Interesting to see how Barney does this year he looks as physically healthy as he’s ever been. Wonder if it could take him back to this level again

    Wow. I've been looking for this match 4 hours ago, a bit before the upload. Perfect timing
  • Awesome, thank you! I saw a lot of comments yesterday requesting this and wasn't actually expecting to get it. Thanks so much!
