So many 3rd drivers for the teams, the next hour will we have the official drivers.

Leclerc will take penalties again, and will start in the back of the grid, at least he will have a fun race.

He is also skipping practices due the rule of "teams must do practices with the 3rd driver during the season".

1-0 1st half for Juventus, they missed some goals so the game is still open.

Starting now, the opponent is weak so should be there no surprises, I hope.

Still out, they are still out.

Chiesa and Pogba are not called for the game this evening.

Di Maria is also out.

Riccardo for me is aiming for Hamilton seat.
He may join Mercedes as 3rd driver for the next year and takes the Hamilton spot as the second driver in 2 years.

Just IMHO.

Bellingham is the main target for Real Madrid next year, it will be a race for him..
I'm guessing he will be sold for 100-120m €

Chiesa call has been delayed once again.

He will not be called for the evening game tomorrow between Juventus and Empoli.

Juventus 19:45 Empoli

Saturday 22nd October

Roma Napoli this week, we will know if Napoli can be a real deal this year or if they will starting losing points after few months as always they do in these years.

Steiner has spoken about next year for Hulkenberg.
The rumor is to remove Schumacher and he admitted they talk with Nico.

Will this be the end for the young MSCHU in F1?

yesterday was supposed to be the day for the renew of Leao's contract with Milan but we got a black smoke.

As today it is improbable he will stay in Italy the next year, he will expire in 2024 so they need to sell him in 2023, price tag is 120m €.

They are training, part 2 of the season for Juventus will start soon with Chiesa and Pogba.

Hoping it will not be too late.

Real is much stronger at this moment over Barca.

I also think Barca needs to keep Xavi as coach even if he will probably fail to qualify for the final stage of the Champions League.

They are just not so strong right now and in a delicate economical situation, waiting for the ESL decision at the end of this year.

The financial condition will be even next year probably if the Covid situation will be stable.

Keep also in mind Juventus is a rich club but the problem is that they don't wanna spend too much in the club since the owner has a lot more in their hands.

The City can lose a match but they are too powerful for the rest.
I can't see how they can even lose the premier, they have the best players, and the best coach and they can spend a lot more in money.

Guardiola also have his contract in expiration and if he fails again in Champions this year it can be the time to leave.

Sandro Tonali scored and Milan won again.




This is the current situation

Could be the year for Napoli 

Bagnaia did a small but huge step today, and now he needs 11 points to be champion in the next race.

If he ends with 25 points he will champion, in case of a tie he had an advantage.

1-1 between Verona and Milan

Milan needs to win or the train of Napoli will go away

Easy win for Inter, they are now back on the right track.

But the risk is that now is too late.

In Serie A History only 2 teams won the title with 5 losses, Inter is already at 4.
