RECORD-BREAKING AVERAGES! Van Barneveld v Van Gerwen | 2017 World Darts Championship

Jones Jennifer Harris Robert Perez Eric

Awesome semi final. 👍👌✊️😮

That time, Wade should haven given Michael his nickname. Just unbelievable how good MVG was between 2015 and 2019. This match represented his peak

Does anybody know why MvG doesnt throw like this anymore? I mean the throwing style. The tips of his arrows point much more downwards and his swing went from a circular arc movement with his arm to a somewhat push and pull back. Surely he is aware of that, is there a reason?

What's the break song called?

Highlights to me how easier it is to achieve these kind of averages on the wafer thin wires of a modern darts board with the pin size sharps. Greatness is not just about the numbers.

They only scored 180 when playing against Power Phil Taylor.

Darts, such a simple game but so intense. These highlights are addicting.

To say I saw this live is a true privilege.

Van Gerwen the best dart player eveer

The greatest, most dominant performance Darts History has ever seen..

Imagine losing with that average. RvB was never the same after that moment. Truly incredible how unbeatable MvG was. Best prime EVER.

Coupla Dutch maestros 🎯

These both are playing only to run Russ with 180. They really want to hear it😂

Too bad MvG became a father. The young hungry MvG was the best darts ever seen. Wish he will be hungry again to show the World that he is the real GOAT.

This really is the greatest match ever played, the quality from both (and Barney still got smashed!) was astonishing. Will never be topped

The PDC did all they could to remove the entire match with the build up, the commentary during the breaks and so on. I'm glad I downloaded in time so I could watch the whole thing again. Shame on you PDC to remove the entire match with the full commentary. Especially considering this match is the best match ever in the history of the PDC and the biggest advertisement for the sport.

Barney and MVG, the biggest Dutch players ever. The Master and the Apprentice.

Vav. !!!! Rekord 😂

I cannot believe how much better looking you were back then - having an eating disorder I appreciate isn’t great but my god you’ve gone the complete other way and now you don’t look half as good

Michael van Gerwen Prime

gutted i wasnt watching darts years ago to watch mvg and anderson and many others in their prime

ONE HUNDSGSHDNGGHAGNNNEIGHTY!!

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

What's the name of the track for the walk off music between sets?

It's not the regular "Chasing The Sun".

After 6 legs played, RvB had won 5 of them with Finishes of 41 (2 darts), 96 (2 darts), 107, 131 and 160, while MvG had won 1 leg, a 124.

4 ton+ checkouts, and 1 missed darts between them (MvG missed Bull for another 124 in leg 6), all inside 6 legs of darts. Astonishing!

My favourite darts match ever

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.

I enjoy this match!

the guy with over the top 180 screams needs sacked

How named the Song in the Background?

You just foget the sixth leg

Legendary match, legendary commentary!

This MVG was the best of all time, not even a prime Taylor would’ve beaten him

Q

This was the game that started the downfall for Barney, cuz you don't play a 8 set game of darts averaging 109 without feeling the gut punch of a demolishing loss. This was Van Gerwen at his peak, hell with the 123.4 average, he performed exquisitely to win in the fashion he did

This was what MVG was capable of, playing like a machine

Well done by both players. VG pulled out a great win

this is with the Lewis - Taylor match contending for the best match ever

Van Barneveld, giant with a gentle touch 👊👊👊

Sweet revenge for MVG💪

The nod of approval from RVB

This match did break Barney one because of the standard he played and got nowhere winning but he also beat van gerwen the year previous which I think probably bothered him more

What an absolutely incredible game of darts, a true Van Gerwen masterclass

better watch football
