Exactly, Real Madrid took a wise step by extending Camavinga contract to maintain the transition in midfield, we know that Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are no longer young and are currently not playing full matches in every match. On the other hand, when Ancelotti is short of players in the left back position, Camavinga can fill that post apart from midfield, in other words, Camavinga can play in several positions and that is why Madrid really needs his energy for the long term.

With a release clause of that size, it indicates that Madrid does not want their players to be redeemed by any club. Sooner or later we will no longer see the role of Modric and Kross in the Los Blancos squad due to age, maintaining the transition by preparing Camavinga as a replacement is the right solution.

Of course that was the right choice for Cristiano Ronaldo to close his career at the SPL, and if that really happens it will have a tremendous impact on the image of the SPL in the future. Not without reason, everyone will indirectly mention the SPL when talking about how great Ronaldo was when he was still actively playing. And the moment of his retirement will be the talk of the media for a very long time, and as I mentioned at the beginning this will make the SPL more famous.

On the other hand, it is true that Ronaldo is very ambitious to be able to play in the next edition of the 2026 World Cup. In my opinion, this can be realized provided that Ronaldo does not suffer any injuries, because players who are approaching the age of 40 are more prone to injury.

If Munchen fails to defend the Bundesliga trophy this time then Harry Kane will be the unluckiest player in my opinion, his move to FC Hollywood from Tottenham will be in vain. However, I feel that Munchen dominance in the Bundesliga this season is indeed facing a big challenge, we know how the performance of other clubs such as Laverkusen, Dortmund and VfB has improved. Viewed from a distance, the current situation makes the Bundesliga even more exciting and fierce in terms of competition, but it is unimaginable if Munchen fails to win when the season ends.

All teams will experience ups and downs in performance because it is very difficult to go unbeaten throughout the season, that doesn't mean it's impossible. With the depth of the squad he has, Tuchel should be able to defend the Bundesliga trophy amidst Laverkusen revival and Dortmund consistency as eternal rivals at this season.

Overall, Bayern Munchen has better squad depth than Galatasaray, but you need to pay attention to how many Munchen players are in the treatment room. Even though I personally also believe that Munchen can win the match, Galatasaray should not be underestimated because they have a complete squad, because Ziyech will most likely be available again. Tuchel must be fully alert to Galatasaray because they managed to beat Man United at Old Trafford, so they have confidence and a good mentality for now.

The position of Group A standings is now led by Munchen with complete wins, and I think it will remain like that until the group phase matches end. This means that Munchen has a big chance of winning Group A, while the runner-up still has a chance of being contested by three other teams, Galatasaray, Copenhagen and United.

In terms of strength, Milan and Juventus have a slight difference, Milan has better statistics this season than Juventus. Both have experienced defeat once, Milan have never played a draw while Juventus have drawn twice. That is why the chances of the two clubs not creating a big difference even though Milan is acting as host, I predict this match will end in a draw. Because if you look closely, Milan is in trouble because they are being hit by a storm of injuries hitting the squad, while from Juventus Vlahovic and Chiesa are still in doubt about being able to appear.

The match will take place after the international break and of course injured players could potentially be available again, so it will make this derby match very interesting. On the other hand, Milan will have a difficult week after the international break, after facing Juventus, PSG and Napoli will be their next opponents. I think if Milan manages to get through these three matches without losing, they deserve to be strong contenders for the Scudetto alongside Inter.

The decision has been taken by Hazard, where the Belgian player decided to retire sooner than everyone expected. 32 years old is still considered very young, but we know that the main reason he retired was due to a long-term injury. LOSC, Chelsea is a club that has experienced his maximum contribution, but that was not the case when Madrid recruited him.
It is possible that Hazard will enter the world of coaching in the future after retiring, it could be that Hazard will be lucky in this job. 16 years and more than 700 matches played, not only me, maybe everyone would call him a legend.

Yes, Spain will act as host, of course this is an advantage. This meeting will be a place for Spain to take revenge against Scotland after losing last March, but with the last two wins, Spain seems to have stabilized and is back on a positive path. However, Scotland's strength cannot be taken lightly, they have quite good squad depth, which is why they lead group A.

I agree with you @3meek, despite the fact that Scotland has not been defeated so far, I feel that betting on Scotland winning this time would be very risky. I feel the match will end in a draw, that's fair enough.

The Ligue 1 competition is exciting as PSG experiences a setback in its performance, other clubs have the opportunity to compete at the top of the standings, even though PSG will lose out again. I still feel that PSG under Luis Enrique leadership can retain the Ligue 1 trophy at the end of the season, even though they have to try harder than usual because other Ligue 1 clubs are experiencing an increase in performance.

There are still many matches ahead that will be very decisive, Monaco and Nice will certainly also experience ups and downs in performance, so PSG also still has a big chance of taking over the top of the standings. Because the difference of two points is not big, for now Enrique just needs to improve his adaptation so that it goes according to expectations.

It's true that that's another possibility that could happen, we haven't seen how Tottenham will play without Son. Even though I don't hope for it, if Son is injured or absent for some reason, Tottenham will have difficulty consistently achieving full points. On the Man City side, Pep squad has a habit of being hot late and looking more aggressive in the last half of the season, I predict they will return to stability quickly.

With Man United and Chelsea inconsistency this season, only Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are in tight competition for the title race. Even though Tottenham are top of the standings at the moment, I think Arsenal and Liverpool are more worthy of challenging defending champions Man Ciy, and Man United and Chelsea are likely to finish outside the UCL zone this season.

That's right, all Real Madrid fans are waiting for Arda Guler to recover from injury and make his debut for Los Blancos. It looks like this will happen soon if you see the news which says the player from Turkey has returned to training even though he is separated from the main squad.

Many people don't know the quality of Guler game and skills, what is certain is that Madrid doesn't recruit young players if they don't have potential. Although sometimes in the history of transfers of young players, Madrid often experiences failure and even looks like a fraudulent investment.

Actually, we don't have to pay too much attention to Man City and leave other EPL teams behind, but the moment of consecutive defeats experienced by Pep Guardioa squad is a rare item, so everyone is moved to pay attention to what is actually happening with their squad. Regarding Tottenham success at topping the standings, I have to say that Ange Postecoglou squad was only hot at the start of the season, in the end they always failed in the hunt for the EPL trophy. Despite this fact, who knows, Tottenham could pull off a surprise this season, like what Liecester achieved in the 2015-2016 season.

Ange ability to make Tottenham undefeated is indeed worthy of appreciation, especially when they managed to beat Liverpool. But then they have to be consistent if they want to change their fate in eradicating the trophy drought.

It cannot be denied that Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri play an important role in the Man City squad, Pep does not have a suitable cover for the two of them in the current squad, ultimately causing them to suffer two consecutive defeats in the EPL. On the other hand, Arsenal is indeed in top form and has not been defeated in the EPL, their positive trend gives them confidence when facing Man City, and they get full support from fans because they play at the Emirates.

Considering that the EPL is very competitive, several players who have experienced a decline in performance due to increasing age, such as Gundogan, must be released, apart from streamlining the squad, the aim is also to regenerate younger players. I think Man City current situation is not as bad as Man United and Chelsea, which are both elite clubs, after the international break I think Pep can bring Man City back to winning ways.

Bayern Munchen position is starting to come under pressure along with the increasing performance of Laverkusen, VfB and Dortmund in the Bundesliga. In the last decade, Munchen has managed to end the season by winning the Bundesliga trophy. For this season, the Bundesliga is no longer relevant if it is called the Farmer League, the competition for the top four standings is very competitive and each other takes turns topping first place. Tuchel must be aware that this season is more difficult, where Xabi Alonso squad managed to top the standings without losing. Another fact, Dortmund also has an unbeaten record, while VfB has lost once. So Tuchel must be really alert and must not be careless, resulting in losing points.

Laverkusen, VfB and Dortmund have the ambition to break Munchen dominance, of course with consistency until the end of the season. Goal productivity is also very important in the Bundesliga, where Munchen managed to beat Dortmund last season and won the championship because of superior goal difference, while in terms of points they pocketed the same amount. Even though Munchen is currently in third place in the standings, I think the difference of two points can still be caught up in the following weeks.

If so, then Ten Hag will not be saved from the pressure, I think, meaning that it is very likely that United fans will voice Ten Hag immediate departure from Old Trafford. I think it is very natural for management and fans to demand that Ten Hag be able to get United out of the group phase and go further in the UCL, considering that management has funded him with a large budget to build the squad that Ten Hag wants. However, in reality this is now difficult to make happen and The Red Devils continue to struggle with bad results.

There are four matches remaining in the group phase, United can only qualify for the last 16 if they manage to secure full points in the next three matches when facing Galatasaray and Copenhagen. Last match they must be able to hold Munchen to a draw at Old Trafford, because beating Munchen must be very difficult for them at this time. In other words, United can get 10 points if the scenario goes like this, with the depth of the squad they have, it is difficult to imagine if they have to go down to the Europa League.

Lewandowski will definitely leave Barcelona but not in the near future, going to the SPL or MLS is still full of speculation. What is clear is that Lewandowski is still under contract with Barcelona until June 2026, although the opportunity to move is wide open, but that will only happen when the transfer window opens again. Previously we did not expect that Ronaldo would make a surprising decision regarding his move to the SPL, as well as the possibility that could happen with Lewandowski, however, the process must first reach an agreement between the player and the club.

I think SPL clubs are only interested in big name players, that is in line with their current goal, namely increasing the popularity and image of the SPL. So money is not a big problem for them, if they are interested in Lewandowski, Barca can determine the price and they will be happy to pay it.

That's right, fans criticism will be unstoppable if Rudi Garcia fails to maintain the Scdetto this season, even worse if Napoli finishes outside the UCL zone at the end of the season. The difference of 7 points is quite big in my opinion, goal productivity doesn't mean anything if you don't close the match without 3 points. It is true that Rudi Garcia has to make extra efforts to restore Napoli performance to last season's, they must immediately forget the two home defeats to Madrid and Fiorentina and bounce back in the next match.

On the other hand, Milan, Inter and Juventus are competing fiercely at the top of the Serie A standings this season. I think these three clubs will take turns leading the standings in the following weeks. Juventus should be able to do this because they only play in domestic competitions, where Milan and Inter have busier schedules.

I don't think it's possible for Xavi and his players to underestimate Granada, in the sense that La Liga is very competitive. Losing points or drawing will make ranking in the standings stagnate. Barcelona draw was not only influenced by the absence of several key players, Xavi squad was overwhelmed in facing Granada style of play which implemented a 5-4-1 formation. This means that Barcelona appeared to attack to penetrate Granada defense, and dominated possession of the ball by more than 80%, Granada only took advantage of counter attacks and proved effective in scoring quick goals.

In my opinion three points is not too big, even though we know that Madrid and Barcelona will be determined to get full points in their next match. La Liga has only been running for nine weeks, meaning there are still 29 matches left to reach the end of the season. Many things can happen, it is very likely that Madrid and Barcelona will take turns leading the standings, don't forget that Girona and ATM could be surprising dark horses.

It's true that the consistency shown by Arsenal and Tottenham impressed everyone, because I personally didn't expect these two clubs to go 8 weeks unbeaten. The most favored Man City apparently suffered two surprising consecutive defeats, to Wolves and most recently to Arsenal. It is true that the positive results achieved by Tottenham cannot be separated from the cool hands of coach Ange Postecoglou, for Arsenal I see that Arteta has succeeded in recruiting players that the team really needs, thus having an impact on improving their current performance.

Next, Arsenal will face another tough test in week 9, the Gunners will face Chelsea, who are both from the city of London. Meanwhile, Tottenham have a slightly easier opponent, namely Fulham, but this match will be held after the international break, many things can happen.

I didn't expect Al Ittihad to suffer a home defeat to Al Ahli with a narrow score, they should have taken advantage of this opportunity to get points. The defending champions were defeated by a club that returned from promotion, that is the fact from the results of the match between the two. Al Ahli succeeded in transforming into an elite SPL club by bringing in former European players, a result that deserves appreciation in my opinion.

The top five positions in the standings are increasingly competitive, with Al Hilal still in first place and with 23 points, they are the only club unbeaten in the matches they have played. Al Taawon is in second place, one point different from Al Hilal, the next position is occupied by Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli and has the same points. However, I think the standings will change again, because there is a derby match between Al Taawon and Al Ittihad which will reshape the SPL standings in week 10.

Group F is indeed boring because it is filled with clubs that have almost equal strength, now all four clubs still have the same chance of qualifying for the round of 16. I think the third matchday will be very decisive, which will create a difference in points in the standings, hopefully Milan can score a goal in the match against PSG, and Dortmund can stop Newcastle progress so that Group F will be more competitive.

Before Mbappe leaves, Luis Enrique should maximize Mbappe potential in the remainder of his contract. I think it's natural that if Mbappe leaves and pursues his dream of winning the UCL with another club, it's impossible for PSG to do the same job to tempt Mbappe to stay at the club.
