I was still surprised by Martinelli's assist and immediately Nketiah fired in the shot that led to Arsenal. Then there was the spectacular goal scored by Bukayo Saka and even Kai Havertz was speechless to the point of holding his head because he was so surprised to see the goal. In the second half Arsenal struggled quite a bit and couldn't add to the number of goals and instead they were hit by a quick counter attack from Nottingham which made them concede one goal. A deserved victory for Mikel Arteta's squad at the start of the season and these 3 additional points keep Arsenal still below Manchester City with a goal difference.
Arsenal were able to close their first game quite stunningly because they managed to secure 3 points in their first game this season. Saka performed brilliantly by scoring a beautiful goal in this match because his hard shot from outside the penalty box could not be blocked by Turner. Apart from that, the first goal in this match was also completed nicely by Nketiah in the 26th minute. I saw this match going quite exciting and Arsenal managed to do quite well by securing victory until the end of the match. Apart from that, Newcastle United, who were playing at home, won their first match of the season by winning a big win where the final score was 5-1 for Newcastle United. I saw Newcastle United game getting more confident after the quick lead scored by Tonali in the 6th minute. Tonali impressed in his first match with Newcastle United after he was successfully recruited from AC Milan this season. |

Haaland is not human  What is this, the first match of the premier league he has started to want to make the top score his again with a quick goal at the beginning of the first half and his second goal in 10 minutes towards the end. It was a tough opening game for promoted Burnley against the defending champions. On the other hand, Manchester City as expected, even though the opponent is Burnley but this is a very good start for them because with a good opening match of course this will make a greater spirit to welcome the next match. Haaland amazed everyone who watched this match because in the first match Haaland was able to score 2 goals, of course, a big image in the minds of the audience where he could score more goals or surpass his goal score last season. I think Manchester city have a predator in their squad he is Haaland. Haaland presence in the line-up will make their opponents fearful and Haaland made it happen when he managed to bring Manchester City to beat Burnley in the first match of the season. |

This is the start of the season and whichever team wins will have the chance to lead the standings. I didn't see anything extraordinary from Vallecano, but they deserved to win the 3 points in that match.
Almeria recorded 19 shots, 5 of which were on target, but Almeria failed to score a single goal in this match. On the other hand, Vallecano, who had 4 shots at goal, was able to score 2 goals and keep them until the match ended. Vallecano had a great start to the season today, but they were not to be expected after Barcelona and Real Madrid played their match.
For Rayo Vallecano they were able to perform better in their inaugural match in Laliga this season because Rayo was able to end this match by gaining 3 points. In the first match, anyone can lead the standings because that's not something that surprises us because we will see how consistent they are in securing a place on the standings board. Almeria played quite well in this match but unfortunately they were not able to score after the many chances they did didn't make it into goals. In another ongoing match where Valencia is facing Sevilla where this match has entered the 82th minute and the score is still 1-1. Valencia was able to score early but Sevilla were able to equalize in the 69th minute through Nesyri. I think the biggest chance of Sevilla vs Valencia match will be a draw. |

Eden Hazard is getting old and he is not a 32-year-old player but still, he doesn't want to get retired at this age and he got offers from other teams to leave Real Madrid for another destination in the next season. His most interesting offer is from Inter Maimi in MLS so he can join players like Messi in the American League and play there for the last years of his career and get retired there.
I've seen the growing news rumors about Eden Hazard in this transfer market, where he was allegedly going to join a team from MLS and it seems that the team is not Inter Miami but Whitecaps. I think. If there are no offers from European teams I think Hazard will make his mind up to join Whitecaps in this transfer window. The strong reason Hazard rejected Inter Miami, offer was because he didn't want to join Messi because Messi was an opponent he had faced while still with Real Madrid. I don't know Hazard career is very bleak after the injuries he often experiences. I think the best decision is to leave Europe and work in an easy league like MLS because no team from Europe is really interested in signing Hazard in this transfer window. |

Pep did not look impressed with the first half performance, he was furious about something that he expressed to Haaland while they walked down the tunnel to the dressing room. Haaland will finish this game with a Hattrick coming out in the second half. Burnley have not been bad in the first half, but Manchester City's quality is more than what they can handle. Haaland scoring again with few touches shows that this season, he may beat the record he set last season.
Manchester city has not been very good even though they are winning, they have made many defensive errors that would have cost them if they had been playing a more stronger opponent. Pep Guardiola will try to correct those errors as the play more games.
In the first half, Manchester City did not play too impressively and their defensive pattern was a little overwhelmed in securing attacks by their opponents, but 3 points were very important for them and they got it. I think Pep Guardiola will provide input for Lewis to be able to display his toughness when breaking opponents' attacks in scoring goals because in this match Lewis was unable to provide an impressive performance. Now, if you see Haaland, he is so aggressive when he holds the ball because he got many chances in this match, but I think 2 goals from him are enough to show his aggressiveness in scoring. I think he will score more goals this season. For Burnley they are facing a team that is strong enough so it is quite difficult for them to balance their game. Moreover, their back side was so weak in this match because they were unable to keep Haaland from moving. |

Absolutely impressive! Cristiano Ronaldo, a true headmaster, guides his team to the Arab Club Champions Cup final, for the first time in club's history, by scoring the only goal. Al Nassr is all set to face against Al Hilal in the Saturday final. Al Nassr really needs well preparation; it won't be a simple task. Al Hilal holds a stronger position, but my hope is that CR7 will do his things.
I am amazed at what Ronaldo did because he managed to bring Al Nassr to reach the Arab Champions League Final. Where Ronaldo has scored goals in a row in 4 matches in the Arab Champions League, even when Al Nassr faced Al Shorta Ronaldo became a big hero in this match because his one goal was able to bring Al Nassr to the Arab Champions League final. Ronaldo even became the temporary top scorer in the Arab Champions League, thus increasing his confidence in being able to bring Al Nassr to win a trophy in this competition. I think Al Nassr is very favored in the final match against Al Hilal. Because the depth of the Al Nassr squad is stronger compared to their opponents. But the final match is a crucial match and Al Nassr must not underestimate the opponent they face. We will see this final match which will take place tomorrow at the King Fahd Stadium. |

Manchester City in this season lost two key players, Riyad Mahrez to Al Ahli and İlkay Gündoğan to Barcelona which means they had to hire a money player in this transfer window to fill these empty places in the team but Lucas Paquetá is the player Guardiola wants to hire and sent him offer however Lucas Paquetá is still under contract with West Ham and they need to have negotiations with West Ham to hire this player, I'm also sure West Ham will not lose this player easily.  Previously, Manchester City had succeeded in bringing in Mateo Kovacic to replace the position left by Gundogan. Besides that Mahrez departure for the saudi arabia league team gives the impression that Manchester City still has players in stock for the position left by Mahrez. Apart from that, Manchester City squad depth is still quite strong because they still have several players who are quite influential in their squad depth, such as Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. But before that, we saw Manchester City game against Arsenal in the Community Shield Cup where Manchester city suffered defeat in this match because in the penalty shootout the Manchester City players failed to do their job perfectly enough. But I agree with you that Pep Guardiola really wants Lucas Paqueta in the depths of the Manchester City squad this season. So that Pep Guardiola seriousness in bringing in Lucas Paqueta will reap big obstacles because West Ham is reportedly not going to release their core players in this transfer window. We will be waiting for updates regarding Manchester City interest in Lucas Paqueta, Will West Ham release their core players if a tempting offer is made by Manchester City. |

Lewandowski has better body resistance than Neymar, so Xavi doesn't plan to include Neymar in this new season, because they have also have a mainstay striker. Also like you said Barcelona must to sell players if they want to sign Neymar, and that will be a problem for Xavi because his plan may will not going very well. I heard in the local media about Neymar, reportedly that Manchester United are planning to sign this man, if that is true then it will be very good for him because rarely club in Europa interested with injured players.
Xavi does not want to bring in Neymar even though Neymar has expressed his desire to return to Barcelona. Apart from that, Neymar large salary will be a big problem for Barcelona to recruit him. Neymar is more comfortable with PSG now because he has become a big foundation for PSG after PSG lost several core players in their squad depth this season. After Messi left psg in this transfer window, PSG moved quickly to recruit other players in this transfer window. Several quality stickers brought in by PSG in this transfer window such as Asensio, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos. So that Neymar with his best quality and long experience in Ligue 1 will be needed by PSG to be able to give full support to their game this season. |

Modric and Kroos are still very much needed for El Real's young squad. because after all, the experience they have will be useful for their junior colleagues, especially for midfielders. that's why, Madrid still entrusts them to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu, even if it's only for one season. however, with Ancelotti having so many options in midfield, automatically these two veteran players will not always be the main starters in every Madrid game. but it doesn't seem to be a problem for both Modric and Kroos, because they really uphold their loyalty to the club.
For the center forward position actually Madrid have many options if they want it, but they only borrow Joselu from Espanyol. isn't this a little strange, even though Madrid has very good finances even though they have poured out large funds just for Bellingham. whereas, Madrid could have brought in Osimhen. IMO, Osimhen could be an ideal choice for a centre-forward position, it could also be that Madrid brought Kane from Spurs, but they didn't do that either.
So, it is only natural that Madrid is actually waiting for Mbappe to leave after his contract period ends. with that scenario, they could get the star for free. isn't this a quite logical scenario, even if we have to speculate by borrowing Joselu.
Even so, we'll see how Madrid hasn't shown their best this season.
Both of them are really needed by Real Madrid in the next season, especially since several senior players have left this season, so the survival of Luka Modric and Toni Kross will provide their experience to increase confidence in the young Real Madrid squad. Like Arda Guler, who still lacks experience in dealing with big teams, of course he will need coaching from senior players such as Luka Modric and Toni Kross. Real madrid first match in Laliga this season will be against Bilbao which will be held at the San Mames stadium. I think it was an easy game for Real madrid considering they made quite impressive improvements in the depth of their squad. Bellingham inclusion in Real Madrid squad this season will be an additional strength for them to be able to compete with Barcelona in the race for the Laliga Trophy. |

Normally chelsea are not really interested in signing Vlahovic or any striker at the moment because they already have Nkunku and Jackson and any additional player will be seen as surplus to the team. Even pochettino made a comment that he doesn’t wants alot of players and that he wants to trim the squad as much as possible so there won’t be excessive number of players in the squad. What chelsea are focused on right now is to conclude Caicedo’s deal as soon as possible and sell some few players like Ziyech, Chalobah, Lukaku and Hudson Odoi before the window closes.
Juventus are only trying to force chelsea to pay the amount so they can use it to buy other players.
So, in this situation, speculation about Lukaku future has not yet found common ground because several teams that wanted to recruit him withdrew from their plans, such as Inter Milan. So the option that Chelsea will take may be agreeing to Juventus offer of their interest in Lukaku by expecting additional money for this transfer saga because Vlahovic will be bartered with Lukaku plus 40 million euros that Chelsea must pay to Juventus. Apart from that I think the Juventus management will make quite a big blunder if they release Vlahovic in this transfer window. Because Vlahovic is still quite young and he needs time to be able to make a big contribution to juventus. Meanwhile, Lukaku is getting old compared to Vlahovic, especially since Lukaku often experiences injuries so that it will be a blunder that will have bad consequences for Juventus. |

Exactly because it would affect his performance, scoring ability mental health and even cause an issue in the dressing room because his attitude might affect other players because his mind is not with PSG anymore and giving him such punish would even worsen the whole situation more they'll be on the losing side because he'll still get his salary while he trains harder to prepare for the next season and them losing him for free.
The best thing they would had done is reduce their offer to attract possible European teams to come get him or terminate his contract and let him go for free like Manchester united did with Cristiano Ronaldo then it would be win win for both parties other than holding a player who's mind is made up to leave the club, Mbappe's dream has been to play for a top club like Realmadrid and I don't see him having a good performance with PSG if he stays one extra year.
I don't think too far, I mean whether Psg will take the option to terminate Mbappe contract or indeed they will not do this just to teach Mbappe a lesson to continue sitting on the bench until the end of his contract. I think the interesting thing here is that a team can make a decision for its players, including even star players, like what PSG did for Mbappe. Nasser Al-Khelafi was quite annoyed with Mbappe where he ordered Mbappe giant poster to be removed at the PSG stadium. So that it becomes an answer if Mbappe is no longer a golden child in the PSG team where previously he received special treatment from PSG. Incidents like this can certainly affect the player's mentality because the change in situation that he experienced changed 100% from what PSG did to him. |

The decision of the outcome of the match between Burnley and Manchester is slightly tough for me because a match between a club legend on his former coach and both would be lookikg to have a win, Burnley just got promoted into the league and would be very tough and defend most of the time against big teams making it tough for them to score easily, how Mancity are the defending champions and would want to have a win from the beginning of the league not minding who they're playing against losing the start of the season is one thing Guardiola won't likely tolerate.
But one thing i know is that no matter how tough Burnley acts or how defensive his team plays they might only get a draw and not win City because so far Guardiola's midfield is intact with Debruyne and kovacic include then a goal or two must definitely get in Guardiola would always be Guardiola and won't fail to get 3points with a good goal margin when he sees a chance to.
Of course the first match will be difficult to predict the final result. However, seeing the depth of the two teams, there is no doubt that Manchester city is the favorite to win this match. I think Burnley got a pretty strong opponent in their first match in the Premier League this season. Kompany could make a big surprise if he can guide Burnley to victory against Manchester City. I think Erling Haaland is still a player that the Burnley bottom line is quite wary of. Because the Burnley defenders must be able to turn off the space for Erling Haaland so that Manchester City will have difficulty scoring goals in this first match. But I'm sure Manchester City can get 3 points in this match. |

Interestingly of course, the situation is becoming more tense and perhaps clearer. Because after all, PSG had also made a strong decision to extend Mbappe contract with an increased salary as well, but Mbappe refused. Also, PSG had decided to sell Mbappe but again, Mbappe chose to stay for one more season. Mbappe attitude like that, obviously made PSG anger overflow and with that too, now PSG is taking another action not to include Mbappe in the player list. That way, it might become clear that if Mbappe wants to leave, then leave at this moment because if he stays, it seems like it will be useless for Mbappe too because he will not be included in the PSG squad later.
If Mbappe had stayed with PSG this season the relationship between Mbappe and PSG would not have been harmonious because PSG really didn't need Mbappe anymore after PSG had bought a lot of players for their front line. Until now, Mbappe is still a PSG player, but he has been exiled from the PSG main squad. He really got unfavorable treatment from PSG, but it was all because of his actions, which did not want to extend the contract with PSG. Exactly 3 more days before Ligue 1 rolls around but the Mbappe transfer saga is still a question mark because no team has yet been able to submit an offer to PSG according to their wishes to get Mbappe. In addition, Real Madrid cannot guarantee that they will bring in Mbappe in this transfer window because they have not yet decided to make an offer to PSG. |

Dembele is basically happy to stay longer at Barcelona I think, but only if Barcelona can afford to pay him what he wants. Dembele's performance has been good alongside Xavi, but unfortunately he couldn't turn down PSG's reasonable offer. Dembele would be just as good at PSG given that Luis Enrique probably knows him from Barcelona, so I think he will help Dembele to play at the same level next season.
Dembele's frequent injury problems during his time at Barcelona are troubling, but I don't think it's an issue that gets too much attention from PSG about Dembele. PSG will have a good attack alongside Dembele, of course but only if a deal is done.
Previously I believed Barcelona's decision to sell Dembele was the best decision for both parties because Dembele got a team that was good enough for his next career and Barcelona were also satisfied with this transfer. Barcelona are reported to be able to bring in other players after getting fresh funds from selling Dembele to PSG. Even looking at Dembele statistics with Barcelona, he did not contribute much because his performance was hampered by the injury he had experienced. However, we hope he can find his sharpness again with PSG next season. Xavi is rumored to be eyeing Joao Felix as a replacement for Dembele. |

This is a surprise from Chelsea, many don't know about this striker. I think it's natural because he doesn't play in Europe, reportedly Chelsea had to spend 20 million to recruit him. If he gets minutes to play in Chelsea main squad, it is possible that David Washington can develop even better. But to become the main striker, I think Pochettino will still entrust it to other players.
Pochettino seems to be more interested in players from Latin America, indeed there is no need to doubt the talent of young players from there, especially Brazil and Argentina.
Maybe his name is still quite foreign to our ears, but I believe that his quality will be able to help Chelsea this season. Moreover, Chelsea really needs a pure attacker who can become their goal machine this season. The presence of Deivid Washington will be the right solution for Chelsea for their front line next season. Even Tiago Silva believes that Deivid Washington will be able to develop into a fairly aggressive striker with Chelsea and he must be able to prove it when he gets the chance in a match that will be played by Chelsea. He is still quite young and it is likely that he will have to be able to compete for a regular place under Pochettino tutelage. |

Giroud is no longer considered fully productive. He's older and can only play as a backup striker at this age. Apart from that, it may be better for him to play in another team like Dzeko. For this, the Saudi Arabian league may be perfect. Olivier Giroud is a good player, but he is not strong enough to carry Milan right now.
If you look at Giroud age, Giroud is indeed old because he is 36 years old and for this season he is still AC Milan choice on the front line because Ac Milan has yet to find a suitable replacement for their front line. I think Giroud won't be as aggressive as last season because of his old age. Okafor was brought in as a potential replacement for Giroud if Giroud is unable to play full time due to age or quickly running out of energy then Okafor would be the right signing to replace him. We will see the formation of pioli next season, will pioli put up a 4-3-3 to support their performance at the start of the season with Leoa, Giroud and Okafor up front. I think Ac milan has a strong enough squad to welcome Serie A this season. |

Burnley vs Manchester City - at Turf Moor Stadium.
This is the opening match for the 2023-2024 Premier League season. Burnley doesn't seem to have many chances to win this match against the reigning Premier League champions. Manchester City has a high probability of winning the match so the odds offered won't be very favorable. I believe Manchester City can win the game by 3 more goals, but that's just a completely dicey prediction for the start of the season.
I can't wait for the first Premier League game of the season. Moreover, the Burnley vs Manchester City match will present a crucial match because Burnley is a promotion team and Manchester is the defending champion. Apart from that, we will see the two figures of coaches who really performed brilliantly last season managing their team. Even a reunion will happen in this game between Pep Guardiola and Kompany. Besides that, another match that is no less interesting is the Chelsea Vs Liverpool match because this is a big match match that is of great concern to us after the improvements made by these two teams in this transfer window. Will liverpool be able to steal full points at the Stamford Bidge stadium. |

Milan have spent 110 million euros on transfers already. But they have done this by spending this money on 6 players rather than 1 or 2. They don't like the idea of making one sensational transfer then I assume. They just want to strengthen multiple areas and increase the number of alternative players at the same time.
As far as I can see Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek and Chukwueze are the most impressive transfers. I don't have a wide knowledge about the other transfers. I can just criticize the Okafor transfer because he hasn't been a good scorer so far as the number of goals over the years isn't much good.
Ac milan relatively signed players with cheap clauses in building up their squad as finances that were not fresh meant that they had to think of ways to recruit quality players at cheap rates. Okafor, who was just brought in in this transfer window, will complement Ac milan increasingly aggressive front line for this season where Pioli can install a formation that is quite ideal 4-2-3-1 for this season. With a very young age I think Okafor can develop well with ac milan. Apart from that, Giroud will still be the spearhead for AC Milan front line next season. Leao and Okafor would be good assists for Giroud if Pioli uses a 4-2-3-1. |

In the end, Al-Nassr won 3-1 and they have an easy semi-final ahead of Al-Shorta. Al-Hilal, apparently, in turn, will easily defeat the winner of the Al-Shabab and Al-Wahda pair (damn what names I can break my tongue or fingers) and in the final we will see a confrontation between two Saudi teams. By the way, Ronaldo scores the third match in a row  It seems that Ronaldo has found his rhythm with his new team-mates at Al-Nassr and it seems that he can always score in every game. No wonder Ronaldo is indeed one of the GOATs, even though he is old, he can still contribute to the team. Now it is quite clear where this final will take place and we all hope that the ideal final of the Arab Club Champions will bring Al-Nassr against Al-Hilal after each of these teams will defeat their opponent in the semifinals. It will be a balanced final in terms of squad depth which already contains several European players and will definitely make headlines before the saudi league title restarts in the coming week. Ronaldo has returned to being aggressive in the last 3 matches because he managed to contribute his goals in these 3 matches. The presence of sadio mane has had a good impact on Ronaldo because Sadio Mane was able to provide accurate bait for ronaldo. But looking at his team-mates at Real Madrid, it seems like Benzema has yet to find his best form after Al Ittihad lost yesterday's match against Al Hilal. Thus Al Ittihad was eliminated faster in the Arab Champions League. |

Levy makes things even more complicated and it is highly unlikely that Harry Kane will be released to Bayern Munich. Real Madrid and Manchester United were also clubs that had their eye on Harry Kane but in the end they had to stop chasing the England striker's signature as Levy made things more complicated. Levy tries to convince Harry Kane to stay because he has brought in a new coach, so the chances of getting a title are still quite open.
Bayern Munich must look for other names as attacking options for next season and hope that Harry Kane, who is impossible to let go, will make them lose their chance to get the best striker. The competition will start soon and Bayern Munich must immediately decide to bring in a new player in the striker position.
I think it's better for Levy to let Harry Kane go to Bayern Munich because they can find a replacement in this transfer window. Moreover, Kane himself wants to leave Tottenham in this transfer window. However, after the 3rd offer sent by Bayern Munich, to this day there has been no response to that proposal. Apart from that Tottenham could have lost Harry kane in this transfer market but they get quite a lot of money if they agree to bayern munich offer. If Tottenham keep him from staying with them this season Tottenham will surely lose big money if Harry Kane leaves at the end of next season on a free transfer. |
