The fierce battle between PSV and Ajax is going on at full speed. PSV beat Groningen by the only goal they scored in the 10th minute of the match. And Ajax finished Utrecht away by the three goals they scored in the first half already. PSV keep their lead by one point ahead of Ajax now. But Feyenoord are in a really bad condition. They played a tough match against Vitesse home last and lost it by 1-0 too. And this caused the interval between Ajax and them to increase to six points. Maybe they won't even enter the competition again but it is early to say so.

We have less than two hours left for the Brighton v Chelsea match. Chelsea are being favoured by bookmakers of course but their odd is quite high too. This could mean that we could see a win by one-goal difference for them. It might end by 1-0 or 2-1 I assume. Whatever the score will be, the most important thing for Chelsea to win this match. They need to get a good result to start performing better than now. If they go on like this, they wouldn't even have a big chance for the second position in the standings too.

Tomorrow night, there is a Valencia v Sevilla match in the league. This is going to be a difficult match for both of these teams undoubtedly. Sevilla have been in a much greater shape than Valencia actually. They have been fighting for the title with Real Madrid. And as this is their missing match, they can close the gap with Real Madrid by three more points if they defeat Valencia. And the new gap will be only two points. This is a crucial match for them but Valencia wouldn't let them win that easy. I think that both teams will score.

PSG wouldn't be willing to sell Keylor Navas to Newcastle or any other club now I think. Because Keylor Navas is still showing an amazing performance. Why would they want to sell him in this case? I know that they have Donnarumma also and he is just a wonderful goalkeeper which is for sure. But PSG would look at their situation from an aspect like it is better to have two solid goalkeepers at the team rather than one. In the end, they might have big problems when their main goalkeeper gets injured in case they have only one solid goalkeeper.

There is half an hour left for the game that is Cleveland Cavaliers v Brooklyn Nets. There is some bad news for Nets as Irving and Durant both are injured now and will not play. This means that the responsibility is on James Harden mostly. And they are going to face a very difficult opponent also. Because Cavaliers have been winning for four games in a row. We see them having only one less win than Nets and at the sixth place in the conference now. Nets defeated them once in this season and in this court by 117-112. And they might do this again.

Manchester United are still experiencing serious trouble in the Premier League these days. Their last match was against Aston Villa away and they were really close to defeating their competitor by a solid performance in attacking the most. But they still lack in their defense and Aston Villa's finding two goals in a very short period of time has proved it once more. Rangnick must do something different to prevent themselves from conceding goals easily. Their next match is against Brentford away and they must be able to win this time.

I think that the Super Cup match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao really deserved to end by the extra time. But Real Madrid finished their job in 90 minutes by 2-0. Actually Athletic Bilbao could have equalized the score if they didn't miss the penalty. The last moments would be very exciting after that and maybe they could have made it 2-2. But anyway, I would like to appreciate Real Madrid's big effort also and they deserved to win the Super Cup title.

I'm curious about how well Klay Thompson will be able to play tonight in the absence of Curry due to injury. In the end, Thompson is still not in a good shape as he is newly adapting to the games again. But we saw how Golden State Warriors demolished Chicago Bulls in a game that Curry played very poorly and Thompson was rested. Therefore, I wonder whether we will see the same team play in the worst case. If it happens, then there is another victory in line for them against Timberwolves tonight.

The Super Cup final match is going on now and we are near the end of the first half also. Real Madrid have gotten ahead by Modric's goal around ten minutes ago. And even when we look at the statistics of the match, we can clearly see that Real Madrid are having the match under control at least for now. Athletic Bilbao are playing like they have nowhere to run. And they need to leave this style in the second half if they really want this title. At least, they should become a tough competition for Real Madrid in this match.

Gladbach v Leverkusen was another interesting match yesterday. Actually, both teams found so many goal chances in the match. But Leverkusen still played much better than their opponent that's for sure. Even though they missed two penalties, they still were victorious by 2-1. After the score was brought to 2-0 by Leverkusen, Gladbach scored a goal that gave hope for them. But they couldn't make a comeback and it ended like this. Patrik Schick scored again and this was his 18th goal in his 16th Bundesliga match this season.

Juventus had a home match against Udinese tonight and won it by 2-0 at the end. Their keeping a 1-0 score until the late minutes of the match was really troubling for themselves but they finally scored the second goal in the 79th minute and kept themselves safe. Udinese's last hopes ended there as a result. Juventus are still maintaining their unbeaten situation now. And we see them having the same points with Atalanta now but I would like to remind that Atalanta have two matches absent.

Dortmund and Bayern Munich both put on a wonderful show this week and they made us enjoy each one of those matches. Dortmund destroyed Freiburg by a 5-1 result and Haaland scored two goals. It is a big privilege to watch him really. And Lewandowski scored even more than him. Bayern Munich finished Koln by a 4-0 result and Lewandowski had an hat-trick. He has 23 goals in the league already. And he is really getting close to a new record. But it is still early to talk about of course. But one thing is certain that Lewandowski is one of the most consistent players.

Inter are the most in-form team in the Serie A these days. And their next league match is tomorrow and it is against Atalanta away. Inter won their last eight Serie A matches. And their unbeaten streak is even bigger than that. Their last official match was against Juventus in the Super Cup and they won that title by winning the match by 2-1 also. They are at the top of their performance now. Atalanta are another big competition for them but Inter are still the favourite of course. But I feel that Atalanta will end their winning streak and maybe even their unbeaten streak too.

I wish Chelsea defeated Manchester City today and help the rivalry for the Premier League title be tougher. But Manchester City somehow managed to win this match too. I really admire them and Guardiola. After losing to Chelsea in this stadium two times in a row, it looks like Guardiola knew what to do against them this time. And he applied his plan to his team successfully. Chelsea resisted really well but couldn't prevent a 1-0 loss unfortunately.

And now, Manchester United are playing an away match against Aston Villa. They are playing very dominantly and scored in the 6th minute already thanks to Bruno Fernandes. I hope that they can win the match too.

My prediction turned out to be correct for the Lyon v PSG match and they really drew with each other. And PSG's next match is going to be against Brest two days later. It is a home match firstly and I can see that PSG have the same missing players before this match too. But I reckon that they will be the winning team this time. Brest were doing good until some point actually but their recent results haven't been impressive. I don't reckon that they can hold PSG off until the final whistle.

Juventus are going to play a home match against Udinese in two days. Juventus have been like a machine for 7 weeks as they didn't lose in those matches. And they got a loss against Inter last night in the Super Cup match by 2-1. They lost it by the goal came in the 120th minute which shows that they were really good at fighting back against Inter too. And I don't think that they will be out-of-morale just because of this loss. I think that they are good enough to defeat Udinese now and they can maintain their streak of being unbeaten.

Barcelona really resisted Real Madrid quite well. I guess that most people expected Real Madrid to just dominate the match and get a comfortable win. But thanks to Barcelona's dedication here, they didn't let Real Madrid get past themselves too easily. Real Madrid were barely able to eliminate them after extra time. Real Madrid was still the better side in terms of performance but I appreciate Barcelona for their great effort also.

According to the news, Manchester United are after Brighton right-back Tariq Lamptey now. However he can cost quite much for Manchester United which is around £40m. But they are still a rich club and can afford him. He is only 21 years old now and his performance so far has impressed me actually. I see a good potential in him. On the other hand, I wonder whether Manchester United would like to pay this sum for him. I don't know their transfer priority now.

The Tottenham v Chelsea match was yesterday and Chelsea defeated Tottenham by 1-0 away too. They have advanced to the final stage of the EFL Cup. They had nearly all of their starting eleven players too but Tuchel replaced many of them as early as possible. I saw that Lukaku played for 90 minutes but I think that he can still be fully ready for the Manchester City match in three days including today. And in this case, I think that Chelsea players will still be fit for the match.

I believe that Klay Thompson will start playing like in the old times after having a few games in the adaptation process. And one night later, there is another really tough game waiting for Warriors. It is going to be against Bucks in an away game. After being defeated by Grizzlies, they could get another loss in this one too. Bucks have Giannis above all else and they are strong enough to be able to beat Warriors. But it is still hard to predict it.
