I think so too. Galatasaray don't even need to show their best performance ever against this kind of teams. A decent performance level with high concentration should be enough for them to reach their main goal in the Champions League. After qualifying for the group stage they will just hope to have a little lucky draw to push even harder.

Galatasaray have a really good history in the Champions League back in the day. Why wouldn't we see another example?   

I wonder why Guardiola didn't prefer Ederson for this game. Maybe he wasn't caring about this title that much but then I think he would have made a bigger rotation. Their opponent was Arsenal in the end so he should have started this game with all of their main players including the goalkeeper.

In that case this might have even affected the direction of this game much more. Ederson could have performed much better on penalty shoot-outs.

Real Madrid still have nothing on the table when it comes to signing a striker. What is the reason for waiting this much to take action? It is clear that Mbappe isn't joining them this summer. So it would be much better for them to start to work on a striker transfer immediately. Because they will need to determine their target first and then prepare a bid for him.

These are things which are taking some good amount of time and there isn't much time left for the beginning of the new season. If Bayern Munich don't make any more offers for Kane then I'm curious about if Real Madrid would think of an offer for him.

Barcelona must be dreaming by making a loan offer to Bernardo Silva. I see it normal if they do the same for Cancelo because Manchester City are already okay with sending him from the team. But when it comes to Bernardo Silva he is untouchable now. Manchester City have zero intention to sell him to another team now.

Therefore Barcelona had better look for someone else to fill Dembele's space in the team. Silva isn't the only player available in the market in the end. They should be able to find a player who isn't injury-prone like Dembele as well.

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.

I know this scenario very well. Manchester City would have some struggles at the first times of the season maybe. But after some weeks they would slowly start to dominate the league. It is all about getting fully ready for a new season. When they have full chemistry again it is just very difficult to stop Manchester City most of the time with this squad.

I'm just curious about whether there will be a team to be able to compete with them for the league title this time. Maybe Arsenal would be the most serious one about this topic again. They still seem quite strong. This might be the time they are really starting to be consistent in the Premier League.

Tottenham are still not letting Kane go despite having an offer like 100 million euros. This is a wonderful offer for Kane while he is 30 years old. They should have taken this offer already. This is the worst management ever by Tottenham. What will change when Kane plays one more season? Will Tottenham start winning titles magically?

I want to see Kane achieving some titles in his career as he deserves it very much. Tottenham are just blocking his way now. I would have already sold him if I were in their place and looked for other striker.

Al-Ittihad have been reported to be preparing a huge offer for Mohamed Salah now. It is a deal of 60 million euros for Liverpool and 180 million euros for Salah for two years. This is really a similar deal to Benzema and Ronaldo but the thing is I don't expect either Liverpool or Salah to accept this deal yet.

Because Liverpool have newly signed a contract extension with him. It clearly shows that Salah wants to play for them for a longer time period. But he has 2 years on the contract so maybe after one season he might start thinking of going to Saudi Arabia.

Juventus were after Kessie according to rumours for example but he has become another player to sign for a Saudi Arabian team. Gravenberch was on the agenda for them in July so maybe they would return to him now. They had better be faster than now. They shouldn't start the season with a problematic midfield.

Juventus' biggest weakness has been their midfield for a long time. This really doesn't change. Signing one midfielder might not even be enough for them while Rabiot and Pogba are both injured. They are Juventus so they should be able to solve this problem by using their influence.

Honestly I was expecting Manchester City to win this Community Shield title one way or another. I waited for a good competition at the beginning of the season of course. Because this was the first official game for both teams so I didn't expect so many goals. We were about to find out which side was readier than the other one.

Palmer's goal was really lovely and I thought the game was going to end by 1-0. But it was unbelievable that there was a stoppage time of more than 10 minutes and Trossard scored the equalizer in the last moments. This was the turning point for Arsenal as they won by 4-1 on penalties.

Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe now. I can't say he is old for a goalkeeper either despite being 31 years old. I won't be expecting Real Madrid to wait for him to leave for no reason. Courtois must also be very happy to be a part of this team now. There is a long-term contract and I won't expect anything unusual happens for more years.

The thing I would wait for the most would be to see him getting an offer from Saudi Arabia. But I think he will turn it down for now even if he gets one this summer. But after a couple of more years maybe he would start to think of going there.

If Kane transfer isn't really going to happen then it is unfortunate news for Tottenham side more than Bayern Munich. Because they will lose him as free agent just because Levy has become stubborn to have him for one last season. It was even said that the owner gave an ultimatum to him. If it is true then how can't he listen to the owner?

Bayern Munich will need to find a new striker then and they had better hurry. They wouldn't like to have another season without a credible striker. Choupo-Moting is a name who is good for only the Bundesliga and even there he wasn't that much impressive to me.

I agree about Dembele. He hasn't been able to satisfy the expectations and I think it is a good thing that PSG are signing him by activating his release clause. I don't even know why Xavi was still satisfied with his performance. While he isn't able to play even in the most part of the season what is it you see anyway?

Now it is time for PSG to deal with Dembele's being injury-prone. Neymar and Dembele have the same characteristics on this topic so they had better hope not to face serious problems about it this season.

Juventus have been quite silent in the transfer window so far. I see only Weah as a new transfer. I think this isn't good at all for them. I don't believe their current squad is decent enough. There are still weaknesses to be strengthened. Especially central midfield position needs some transfers now.

Because Rabiot and Pogba are injured and their return date is unknown. I can't believe Pogba managed to get injured again in July somehow. He is useless for Juventus but they won't be able to sell him this summer probably either due to his injury. It is a nightmare for them.

Of course there is no guarantee for any player to start playing amazingly after they join their new team. But when it comes to Messi's situation it was a little different as well. I mean he was used to playing according to Barcelona's game plan for long years. However PSG's understanding of game plan was way different than Barcelona so Messi didn't adapt quickly.

Because he was used to getting passes and distributing to his other teammates to create dangerous attacks and goal chances. But he wasn't able to apply the same things at PSG in his first times. But after some time he started to get used to it and performed really great.

Newcastle can't be competitive for the Champions League much for now. Maybe they are one of the richest teams in Europe but they still can't make their squad one of the bests yet. It isn't an easy task to convince big names into their squad despite qualifying for the Champions League. They need to maintain consistency in the Premier League first.

Once they convince bigger names with their performance then they will able to bring that kind of players easier. Those players are already playing for top teams in the end. Newcastle will need to give them a reason why to join them instead.

Barcelona need to have a long way to go before reaching the level to be able to compete for the Champions League title. It might take many years for them to reach that level. Because they are technically in a rebuilding phase with very young talents. This kind of teams need a long period of time to get a good level of experience and have full chemistry as well.

Xavi will need to go step by step but most probably he doesn't have any choice other than reaching last 16 this season. The board still don't extend his contract because they want to see what he will do this season first. If we see the same struggling Barcelona in the group stage then Xavi might not be able to stay any longer.

Yeah there is Thuram now of course. But as Inter lost Dzeko and Lukaku both at the same time it looks like they want to fill both of their places in the team. One of them is done already with Thuram's arrival. The other one was supposed to be Lukaku but Inter withdrew from the race after hearing about Juventus' negotiations with Lukaku as well.

Scamacca has been lost to Atalanta now so I'm curious about who would be their alternative to him. Sooner or later they would handle this transfer too.

Tchouameni is rumoured with some teams this summer but I don't expect him to go anywhere already now. Real Madrid think of him as a part of their future and we can understand this from his contract as well. Besides he played in most of the games in the La Liga in the previous season. He isn't an unnecessary player for the team now.

While Real Madrid are trying to make their midfield younger and credible they wouldn't give up on any of their young talents at the moment.

Unfortunately Hojlund has an injury according to reports and he will be out for a couple of weeks. I was excited to watch him at Manchester United from the beginning but it looks like I will have to wait for a little longer. Hopefully he doesn't miss many games as he would need to go training to reach match fitness as well.

The more he plays in official games the better he can improve his game in a shorter time. I have loved to watch his performance for Denmark so far. I would love to see the same effort in the Premier League as well. But the competition is at the highest level in this league so he will need to work really hard.
