I think Spain will win. Scotland's skill level is pretty high. But the Red Fury are higher in class.

agree here
Scotland had a great start in qualifications, and already secured their spot on main competition, IMO
Spain has a pressure to win this, especially after losing first match in Scotland, and they should be able to do that

nevertheless, it should be a low scoring encounter, and that is maybe better option than ML on Spain
Of course, everyone considers Spain as favourites in this game, but Scotland have a very good defence. If you look at the statistics, not counting the friendly with England, only Norway scored one goal in the group. Even in Scotland, Spain couldn't score against them. So it could be a draw here.

Spain is really highly projected to win in this match against Scotland, moreover this match will also be played in Spain. So yes, I think the previous 2-0 defeat will probably be a mission for revenge as well for Spain, maybe with the same score or maybe higher for Spain win in this match . So yes, I personally not sure if this match ends with a low number of goals, because of course Spain has a big ambition to beat Scotland and also to make the points gap in the standings even closer between Scotland and Spain.

If Galatasaray are to win this match, then they will need to capitalize on the weaknesses in Bayern Munich's body of work. Yes their defense has been the highlight of their few matches, and that should be exploited by Galatasaray by creating quick goals. But whether Bayern Munich can apply a better defense or not in this match? That is the problem, if Bayern Munich can be better in defense obviously it will be a 2 times more difficult task for Galatasaray. Actually, they don't need to target victory, especially with a very strong opponent, a draw is a good result for them.
In the upcoming match, there may be some who doubt Bayern Munich's performance because Galatasaray has almost the same strength but it is impossible to beat Munich.
Let's just look at all the players that these two clubs have, of course you can realize that both clubs have almost similar performance but are still superior to Bayern Munich and in this round it looks like Munich will still lead group A and for this match there is a possibility of ending in a draw.

I'm sure, no one thinks Galatasaray has the same strength and/or quality as Bayern Munich, Lol. So, the reason they predict Galatasaray might give Bayern Munich a fight is only because Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United. But yes, that doesn't mean Galatasaray has the same strength and/or quality as Bayern Munich. Also, although at this moment Bayern Munich looks like it does not have a good defense, but the reality is that Bayern Munich is still very productive in making goals. So yes, even if for example Galatasaray manages to score in this match but still, Bayern Munich will have more goals and will certainly win the match against Galatasaray.

We are likely to watch a really lovely competition for the league title this season. Real Madrid have got way better than last season considering their performance so far. Bellingham has the biggest role in this form right now of course. But I like the team effort as well. I mean even Joselu is playing really impressive as I wasn't expecting him to attract attention much honestly.

I see Real Madrid as the biggest La Liga title contender now. At the same time I think they have equal chance with Manchester City to win the Champions League title unlike the odds given by bookmakers.

Yes indeed, Real Madrid are in such good form at the moment and for this season, that I have no hesitation in saying Real Madrid will get the trophy this season. Agree about Bellingham, because Bellingham managed to make a big contribution to Real Madrid victory so far in all matches played. Because I am sure, when previously Vinicius got injured it seemed like it would be a bad result for Real Madrid at this moment. But the reality is not at all because after all, so far Real Madrid is also still firmly at the top of the standings in La Liga so there is no doubt about the quality of Real Madrid performance this season which promises success of course.

Even though Juventus is currently in poor form, I think there is a chance for them to win. You are right about Milan is quite consistent at the moment, even though they lost to Inter Milan. But, I think Milan must be wary of Juventus' strategy. Because, AC Milan is quite dependent on Krunic, Leao, Giroud if they are successfully marked by Juventus players and cannot move freely, maybe Milan will have difficulty winning the match.

Basically I said Milan had a chance to win, and I didn't say Milan would definitely win. Because anyway, I will also certainly still realize that Juventus are not a weak team and of course, even though Juventus are not favorites in this match, but of course Juventus also still have a chance to win but the chance can be said to be low. Therefore, maybe the inconsistency factor of Juventus so far makes Juventus not a favorite to win this match so of course, from the odds factor it also shows that Milan is quite, yes quite projected to win but not for sure.

City have the strongest squad in the Premier League. But we haven't seen a good performance from City in the last few matches. As Manchester City are looking to win the title, they need to play better. Manchester City's performance against Arsenal was very disappointing. They did not make any attempt to attack in this match. We do not know why City suddenly played such a strategy. However, the performance of both Brighton and City teams is a bit slow now. They are not playing well. Both teams have lost points in the last two matches. So both will aim to score points in this match. Brighton have been scoring a lot of goals this season. That's why I don't think City will win this match easily.
Yeah, but I consider the last two loses by Manchester CIty were just a bad luck. I believe Manchester City is still the strongest team in Premier League, they might lose few match but they will definitely win the league. As we can see the points of top 6 teams aren't really far, so they will not struggle and it's normal the other teams could overtake them in early season.

Maybe, if Manchester City only lost once by Wolves, maybe I would also say Manchester City got bad luck. But anyway, the fact is that playing against Arsenal also Manchester City again got a losing result with bad statistics too. Therefore, Manchester City's two consecutive defeats cannot be called bad luck but purely because Manchester City experienced a decline in performance. Of course, the factor of this bad result is also because Manchester City lost its key player, De Bruyne, so it's no wonder Manchester City became difficult to score goals when playing against Arsenal. But even so, I personally still believe Manchester City will still get three points for the next match against Brighton later.

Well so far Leverkusen is improving and with how they're going they may likely be the team that would stop Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga over the years,  though it's not going to be easy winning a team that's dominated for decades, Dortmund tried and almost got it but failed let's see if Leverkusen would.
Yes, that's true and I see that Leverkusen is still consistent in the Bundesliga, including the European league, they really managed to perform very well thanks to Xabi Alonso who organizes the strategy well and is even good at organizing and placing the players appropriately and correctly, thus making Leverkusen play very well. Even when faced with strong opponents, they always come out with a win or a draw.

They have never lost in the last five matches and they have performed very well so this is of concern to everyone that it seems that Munich has a tough competitor to win the title this season, Xabi Alonso must be able to ensure that his team remains consistent to win the title this season shifting and stop Munich's domination.

When Bayer Leverkusen played against Bayern Munich, I thought maybe the match would be a match where Bayer Leverkusen would lose. But in reality, Bayer Leverkusen managed to hold Bayern Munich to a draw and of course, this result is at least a sign that Bayer Leverkusen has a good chance of being able to compete well in the race for the Bundesliga title this season. The reason is, in the Bundesliga at least Bayern Munich is the team to benchmark, at least to determine whether a team like Bayer Leverkusen can still get points or not. So yes, with Bayer Leverkusen success so far without being defeated, then of course I personally believe Bayer Leverkusen can do better than Dortmund in the title race with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season.

Mbappe would make Real Madrid reach another level if he joins them next summer. They have already been much stronger thanks to Bellingham addition. He is really unstoppable these days. I believe a trio of Mbappe - Vinicius Junior - Bellingham would be very deadly in the attacking line. But will this transfer really happen?

For now things are going on really bad for PSG side. They aren't much likely to be successful this season. They might not make it to next round in the Champions League and they can risk their title chance in the Ligue 1 with this game as well. These things all should affect Mbappe's decision to stay or leave.

Of course, Real Madrid this moment has become better and stronger to be able to maintain its chance of getting lots of trophies this season . So it is clear, if when the transfer window opens and Real Madrid managed brings in another great player, then of course Real Madrid will be best form again, of course in the long term . So yes, it's not surprising that Real Madrid has lots of trophies because after all, basically Real Madrid has very good management in building squad that is good in terms of regeneration too, of course. With great management like that, it is certainly appropriate for Real Madrid to be called the kings of Europe by successfully winning the most Champions League trophies.

It will be a serious battle because both clubs are very strong right now. But I think that Milan will win not only because they will play at home, but also because Milan have only one defeat this season, and all other matches have been won. Of course you can't analyse this game on these indicators, but I think that Milan are much stronger now.
The match between AC Milan vs Juventus will be a very interesting match to watch, because apart from Milan who will try to win at home, Milan is also very determined to maintain its position at the top of the standings in order to create an early gap with its rivals. But Juventus also should not be underestimated because this season Juventus also did not suffer many defeats so Milan needs to take opponents like Juventus more seriously, because Juventus will also try to take full points at home to Milan in order to be in the title competition this season.

At least I agree about Milan having a chance to win in this match against Juventus, because Milan so far only lost by Inter. But yes, for other matches Milan is very smooth with the three points it managed to get. While about Juventus, even though this season Juventus only plays in Serie A, but the fact is Juventus is still inconsistent to get good results in every match so far this season. Because after all, from 8 matches that have been played, in fact Juventus have 2 draw and 1 defeat. So yes, of course Milan have a chance to win in this match although indeed, of course it will not be easy for Milan to beat Juventus but Milan have a chance to get three points in this match.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

Yes indeed, if Manchester City get a schedule with opponents that are not easy like this, and at the same time Kevin De Bruyne is also still recovering from his injury. Then of course, Manchester City's performance is quite worrying right now I think because after all, after playing against Brighton and then Manchester City have to play in the Champion League against Young Boys. But unfortunately, after that match Manchester City have to play away against Manchester United. Obviously, I don't think this situation will be easy for Manchester City to be consistent with three points, because it looks like rotating players will also still be difficult for Manchester City to return to its winning streak.

I would guess that it is going to be not so hard for Bayern to win, just because Galatasaray may have gotten some lucky positions and beaten a very terrible United doesn't mean that they will be capable of beating Bayern, don't get me wrong they could be second and go out of the group stages, but they are not beating Bayern, not even getting a tie. Kane and Sane and all the other players will make sure that they end up with a good group stage where they end up beating everyone, a 18 point group stages carry some of itself into the later stages because the team will have some amazing morale and belief in themselves to push through any difficult team to win.

I believe that last 16 will not be that hard for them, they are better than almost ever second team out there, but then quarter finals will be hard, it is going to end up having some sort of situation where other groups first places will be playing with each other mostly and Bayern could draw someone very strong there.

Yes indeed, although Galatasaray managed to beat Manchester United but of course, it does not mean that Galatasaray will be able to beat Bayern Munich too. Because after all, Bayern Munich is basically the team that can certainly win Group A, considering the previously predicted competitor team is Manchester United . But in fact, Manchester United have had poor results in the group stage so far and therefore, Galatasaray will surely look to maximize this situation to become the runner up of group A.

Better stamina than Ronaldo? I would bet if they had to pass a fitness test that most of the time Ronaldo would be the one who comes out on top. I think even the toughest haters of Ronaldo have to admit that his physical condition is insane for a guy at the age of 38. His stamina is not to be confused with his top speed although I think that he would still be faster than Mane as well.
We know how fortunate Al Nassr are when they finally brought in Cristiano Ronaldo from European football. He's a total different species and have the capacity of playing till 40. Comparing Ronaldo to some footballers is ridiculous because he's weigh 10x better than these players who are not hardworking like himself. Ronaldo puts in enough energy to be the best in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo is a super being in the football world, he's brilliant and 100% fit in physiques. Facts, all upcoming youngsters imitates the Portugal international as their hero in football.

Ronaldo is a role model for many professional footballers in Europe and even the world, so basically Ronaldo has qualities that are difficult to beat even though the opponents are younger players. Moreover, even though Ronaldo is a player and or a person who has high popularity, but Ronaldo still has a healthy lifestyle such as food intake and also Ronaldo body is clean from tattoos . So indeed, with such a healthy lifestyle, then of course Ronaldo has the ability to keep his fitness in good condition. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ronaldo can still play with good performance even though he is old and or has entered retirement age.

Interest in the Bundesliga had decreased because it had not been competitive for years. It was seen as a simple league that Bayern Munich always won, whereas Dortmund had many players that it brought to world football. Now there will be 2 or 3 teams that can compete with Bayern Munich and hopefully the championship will be won by a team other than Bayern soon. Like everyone else, I want it to be a competitive league.

Yes it was dominating for a long time but recently since past few years, Bayern haven't been upto mark due to which other clubs have found a way to get close to Bayern on the table. I think over th e next few years it will become more competitive as Bundesliga does have some crazy underdogs and if they find a way to be consistent then they can really become one to put the eyes on for title race. Everyone wants a competitive league and I think it is becoming slowly and I think it will become harder by harder as the season goes by.

Yes indeed, but at least at the moment or in this season basically Bayern Munich also still does not have its best form like when Bayern Munich still has Lewandowski in the squad. Because anyway, at least after Lewandowski left it was like a decline in the quality of performance experienced by Bayern Munich, moreover in this season at least being the first season for Tuchel and also Kane who became Bayern Munich new star at this time. Therefore, then of course they also still need adjustments to really have a better form of course. But yes, at the same time the performance of Bayer Leverkusen and also Stuttgart is on fire at this moment and thus, it is a difficult job for Tuchel to be able to make Bayern Munich return to its best form quickly.

I don’t see how Ten Hag would be anything short of praise and gratitude to McTominay for coming off the bench and scoring 2 goals in less than 5 minutes within the plus times to enable Manchester United take the lead. It was a lost course already with the compact nature of the Brentford defense but, McTominay was better positioned every time and this time, Maguire was on the assist!
It was a really good day for Manchester United, and the comeback in the final five minutes of the second half really surprised manager Erik ten Hag. Mc Tominay did everything in his power to give the red devils the advantage by scoring twice in the game's extra period. I believe that Manchester United simply had a lucky day and capitalised on it. Erik ten Hag needs to develop if the team is to succeed, even if I am aware that they are going through a difficult time. The team's comeback thrilled the red devil supporters. I believe Maguire is now doing what is known for with a great performance in the game.

I don't know who to thank because maybe, Erik ten Hag realized McTominay quality if he came on as a substitute. It is also possible, basically Erik ten Hag have a plan to enter McTominay from the bench, until finally McTominay managed to make two goals for the win result for Manchester United in the match. After all, it seems that not only McTominay is the hero in this match, because it seems that Maguire can also suddenly play well this match by successfully making an assist also for the goal made by McTominay. So yes, at least it can be concluded that Manchester United managed to play as a team in this match so that they managed to make a comeback by beating Brentford.

I was watching the highlights of the Napoli vs Fiorentina match, and I think that the entire Napoli team is already fed up with their new coach Rudi Garcia, even during the match a couple of players objected a bit to the coach's choices, so continuing the Naples that we were used to seeing last year, we will never see them again, too many strange events have taken place at the start of the championship for Napoli.


it is no coincidence that Napoli lost, in a truly indecorous way
when you make a bad choice, sooner or later you pay for it
sending Spalletti away was the wrong choice and also a very stupid one

now there are consequences to pay

Is it true, at that time Napoli really fired or expelled Spalletti? Because based on the news at the time it was stated, that Spalletti chose to leave in his own way or chose to rest. So, which is true, was Spalletti fired and or expelled, or did Spalletti choose in his own way to leave because he chose to rest?

Because of course, it would be very wrong if Napoli actually sacked Spalletti after managed to get Scudetto last season . Although basically, Napoli are not a team that can always compete well in the title race in every seasons . Because anyway, last season also the competing teams in Serie A seemed to experience a decline in the quality of performance, so Napoli could strongly maintain its top position last season. But yes, about the incidents that are happening now in the Napoli squad it seems that it is not good and not healthy anymore . So yes, if there is no harmony between the coach and the players, then I think Napoli will also look for a new coach to replace Rudi Garcia and maybe in a short time.

United has absolutely no way that they could fight for the top four, I believe that it will not be anywhere near that level and they should not be considering that as an option neither. I think it's clear that we are going to end up with something that would be a little bit different and should be something that will look a bit differently. I hope that people could approach this subject clearly because United has shown everyone how terrible they are and because of that if you still have hopes about them then you are going to be pretty upset about it by the end of the season as well.

You should see what the yare showing you, and how terrible they are and then accept the fact that they are not going to do well at all. They will end u with a position that would be better than this for sure, but not much better, I am guessing a sixth place would be more than what they bargain for so far and I think would be the best thing they could do at this point as well.
We know how competitive English Premier League can be most times, definitely in the categories of one of the toughest league in European football. I wouldn't blamed Manchester United for poor performance this season because other elite teams are also experiencing it. United just have to stick to a particular game strategy that would work effectively for them and also signed the necessary players other than settling for lesser results. Manchester United are currently #10 on EPL table with a terrible performance this season. All fingers pointing to Erik Ten Hag for the poor condition of the Red Devils as he looks forward to ginger his team.

After all, before Erik ten Hag became head coach of Manchester United, basically Manchester United never succeeded in competing in the top four in the standings, right. However, after Erik ten Hag became head coach of Manchester United, in his first season last season Erik ten Hag managed to produce good results for Manchester United. So yes, if for example Manchester United quickly made the decision to sack Erik ten Hag at this moment, I think that wouldn't be a fair decision. Because basically it has always been difficult for Manchester United to be consistent after the Sir Alex Ferguson era, so I think try to give Erik ten Hag time at least until the end of this season who know, maybe Manchester United can recover a little.

PSG's victory yesterday brought them up to 3rd position from previously being in 5th position. I think they took advantage of the opportunity well because before the Rennes vs PSG match started, Brest was only able to draw against Toulouse so PSG could be more motivated to win the match. This is an important momentum for PSG to immediately return to the top of the standings and any less good results from their rival teams will be put to good use by them. Now PSG still have other work to do because their difference from Monaco is 2 points and with Monaco's consistency PSG might need more time but it doesn't rule out the possibility that it could be faster if Monaco loses concentration to maintain their position.

It is an important win for PSG and they are in a critical situation for the top of the league. Monaco is still in the lead and Nice is in second place. Nice are still undefeated and are the only team to go undefeated in the league. If Paris Saint Germain wants to be at the top, they should not lose points anymore. As long as they lose points, their position in the league will become a difficult situation.

Basically, it is the main target for PSG to consistently win in every match. So, this is not because Brest only got a draw because anyway, if PSG will only be motivated in that way, then of course PSG will not be able to reach the top position in the standings. So yes, it doesn't matter the results obtained by the current competing teams who are in the upper zone because after all, PSG also still has a chance to be able to top the Ligue 1 standings. Therefore, PSG should target good results with three points in every match in Ligue 1.

Bellingham, Anceloti's most successful purchase of the season. Young is dominant and he shows great confidence. Next season, if it is true that Mbappe comes, maybe Real Madrid will be very strong. If you add Guller, maybe Madrid will play better. An early-season injury problem does not seem to have seen Madrid struggle. Tchouameni also performed quite well, he became a substitute defender. This is because Nacho cannot play due to card accumulation penalties.

Jude Bellingham is a great palyer and regardless of his age, he had good performances while he was a young and inexperienced player in Real Madrid, but so far in Real Madrid Bellingham has an effective role and he was the reason for Real Madrid won many games, I think Real Madrid will have problems if this palyer gets injured because the other palyer in this team can't fill the place of Bellingham.

At the age of 20, Jude Bellingham has succeeded in becoming attached to the Real Madrid game. In my opinion, young people with abilities like this are rare, for this reason Jude Bellingham will be increasingly prioritized by Florentino Perez and it is certain that his contract will continue to be extended. Playing for a club as big as Madrid and being able to steal attention with Jude Bellingham's playing instincts should be appreciated. Plus, if next season we are able to bring in Mbappe, the front line will improve drastically.

After all, at the age of 20 that Bellingham has managed to equal Ronaldo' record at Real Madrid as well, about first 10 matches and 10 goals for Real Madrid. In fact, Bellingham has a better assist record than Ronaldo about the first 10 matches at Real Madrid. Therefore, it is clear that Bellingham will be a Real Madrid player for the long term . Because anyway, so far every player who has a great contribution to Real Madrid, then of course that player will continue to play at Real Madrid throughout his career. Unless, when he gets old, then the key Real Madrid player will leave in the future because that happened in the history of Real Madrid.

Napoli is currently ranked 5th on the Serie A rankings. The 1-3 defeat to Fiorentina at home made Napoli fans lose all patience with coach Rudi Garcia. They still play with a 4-3-3 formation, but their attack could be stronger and clearer. I was shocked, especially when he withdrew three key players, Osimhen, Lobotka, and Zielinski, from the field when Fiorentina was leading 1-2. Garica believes that this loss was due to player psychology leading to mistakes in defense, not due to tactics. He needs to be more talented to lead Napoli. What I need most from Mr. Garcia is humility and recognition of his mistakes to correct them.

After all, at this moment it also seems that Fiorentina is experiencing a good performance too because basically, before the match starts also that Napoli and Fiorentina have the same points. But indeed, at least Napoli are playing at home and it can also be seen that Napoli can play well when considered from the statistics. But again and again, Napoli still failed to get good results in this home match. But yes, it maybe also right, that the players have psychological problems. Because after all, previously Napoli played with great exhaustion to play in the Champion League against Real Madrid, so that might have a bad impact on Napoli's performance in this match against Fiorentina.

Yes, I agree Napoli had a very tiring match against the strong team Real Madrid in the Champions League. And Fiorentina is also in good form. But Napoli still needs to improve, as they showed last season. In the last 5 matches, they only won 1 game. As a result, they are 7 points behind AC Milan after 8 rounds. Getting into the top 4 is difficult, let alone successfully defending the championship.
Last season, Luciano Spalletti helped Napoli return to the top of Italy after 33 years of waiting, but in the summer, He resigned because of disagreements with the club's upper management. Sadly, Napoli has lost its peak form.
I totally agree with you. In Serie A, both Milan teams are leading the standings. The competition is tight, with only 4 points separating the top 4 teams. Napoli is struggling to find their form, suffering a 3-1 defeat against Fiorentina recently. The resignation of Luciano Spalletti might have impacted their performance. Last season was a perfect time for Osimhen to consider leaving the club, but he stay. Osimhen's peak form is crucial for Napoli, highlighting his importance as a star player.



That's what at least of my concerns about Osimhen in the last transfer window, because if I consider the scudetto results from the previous two or three seasons like when Inter and then Milan get the scudetto. But for the season after that, they also failed to defend the title. Therefore, I think when Osimhen chose to stay at Napoli it might be an inappropriate decision. Because anyway, if Napoli performance declines too then at least it will also have a bad impact on Osimhen market price which is likely to decline. So yes, because now this has happened, then I think when there is a team that will recruit Osimhen in the January transfer window, then I think it would be better to accept it. Because anyway, basically Napoli will also not be able to recover quickly, so it's useless if Osimhen stays at Napoli.

Liverpool drew away to Brighton and left 2 points on the table. Despite leading at half time they couldn't hold on to their lead and drew. I wouldn't have expected Brighton, who conceded 6 goals against Aston Villa, to be too focused in the Liverpool game but it looks like they recovered from that heavy defeat with ease. Both teams had European commitments during the week and were visibly tired.
In another game with the same scoreline Newcastle drew 2-2 away to West Ham. Newcastle, who managed to beat PSG with an excellent game during the week, failed to win this away game despite taking the lead. Despite losing the first half, Newcastle started the second half fast and scored 2 goals in 5 minutes with Isak, but they couldn't prevent the goal in the last minutes and drew.
This result was expected, we know how dangerous Brighton are from last season and they are replicating the same attitude of toughness this season making it very difficult for top teams to get a win against them. Playing away for Liverpool it was likely that the game will finish in a draw and so it was. The same as Newcastle United and westham, an expectated draw match which I don’t consider a bad result at all for all four clubs.

I think, at this moment it seems that it will still be difficult to predict for their match, because it seems that they don't have a stable performance. But even though they look like they are unstable, but at least they can still make a result that is at least good with a draw. About Newcastle for example, because of their big win in the Champions League against PSG then of course, it makes Newcastle look like they have better quality than West Ham. But in fact, it is not as easy to predict their results in the Premier League right now, and therefore they look unstable but at the same time they have the ability to still get points even only with a draw result.

It's difficult for Leverkusen because in the end there are only 2 options for the Bundesliga when it comes to trophies, one is Bayern and the other is hoping Bayern play very badly and other clubs can compete for the championship but for this season I doubt Bayern will play badly (like last season).

Bayer Leverkusen made a great start to the league. Their only point loss was a draw against Bayern Munich. Since that game was away, it can still be considered a great success. Boniface, who scored 7 goals in the league, along with Hofmann, Frimpong, Wirtz and Adli are terrorizing all teams. When you play so effectively on offense, things are easier.
Xabi Alonso wants to prove himself as a young coach and has made a very good start to his managerial career. Such young managers usually have a positive impact on teams. Bayer Leverkusen showed that they made the right choice.
I don't know how long they will stay at the top of the league, but they have already shown that they are a serious threat to Bayern München. This season the league looks like it will be more competitive and exciting.

I just don't understand that there are still people who doubt Bayer Leverkusen even though indeed, Bayer Leverkusen also still cannot fully guarantee to stay at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end of the season. But anyway, because Bayer Leverkusen has managed to have good results from last season until now, then at least the doubts about Bayer Leverkusen maybe a little lost. Because with good performance and stable results also so far this season, then I personally will not doubt Bayer Leverkusen this season, because of course Bayer Leverkusen has a very good chance to be able to compete in the Bundesliga title race this season.
