Rayo Vallecano played very well in the away match against Real Madrid and who would have thought that as the host Real Madrid would not be able to break through Rayo Vallecano's goal. But it was all thanks to the neat performance of goalkeeper Dimitrievski who managed to thwart every opportunity from the Real Madrid players. Repeatedly I saw opportunities created by Real Madrid players but Rayo Vallecano's defense was also ready to block the shots. I was quite disappointed with Vini's performance because he often seemed to get emotional towards opposing players and he couldn't win himself and at the same time ruined his own game. Joselu, who started this time, was also not very good.

But I really appreciate the struggle between Bellingham and Camavinga, they fought with all their might until the last minute, even though Bellingham had a bandage on his shoulder due to a wrong focus and Camavinga's head was bleeding after a high ball duel and also had to use a bandage. Rodrygo, who came on in the second half, also couldn't do anything and even though he also had opportunities, he failed to convert them into goals. I don't know what's going on in Ancelotti's head, why he didn't try playing Brahim Diaz or Arda Guler in this match, even though that could change the flow of the game. This is an opportunity that Real Madrid failed to maximize and now they are 2 points away from Girona after drawing against Rayo Vallecano.

Cristiano Ronaldo never ceases to amaze us with his performances and he even set another record by scoring 400 goals after the age of 30. Isn't that a fantastic number for a star player who is still consistent today? On the other hand, he only needs 37 more goals to complete his tally of 900 goals throughout his career as a football player. The World Cup is still to come to score another goal and that's why he continues to maintain his fitness even now. Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to score goals until his legs say to stop and this year it is possible that he could be close to 900 goals.

Indeed, if Milan could win the previous 3 matches then they would still be at the top of the standings and even have a 2 point difference from Inter. If Milan loses or draws against another strong team, it is still understandable, but against a weak team like Udinese and they have to lose, of course that is unforgivable. On the other hand, sometimes a weak team like Udinese does have a chance to win and they actually did it against Milan. Milan's current position is indeed threatened and quite risky because other teams such as Napoli and Atalanta could knock them out of the top 4 of the standings at any time.

It looks like Lyon can't be helped this season and they still haven't won so far. It is natural that the bookies favor Lyon, apart from being the host, their opponent is also the promotion team this season, namely Metz. However, what happened was unexpected, even Lyon was unable to beat Metz and had to be willing to share 1 point with a draw. It seems like there is no chance for Lyon to escape the relegation zone and even if there were, it would have to be a miracle to get them through this bad result. Moreover, if you look at the difference between Lyon and Metz, it is only 6 points and Fabio Grosso, who was appointed as Lyon's new coach some time ago, was also unable to produce good results.

Jeremy Doku is Rennes' hidden gem and it's natural that most people don't know him before. Of course, this talent was discovered by Pep Guardiola and last summer Manchester City immediately moved to recruit him before any other team knew. Indeed, he has good dribbling qualities and I still remember last week's Manchester derby when he faced Antony, it seemed he was playing with Antony a little with his dribbling and was able to poke Antony until finally Antony felt annoyed and then committed a foul on him. I think young players like Jeremy Doku should be given the opportunity to play, especially when their opponents are easily beaten by Manchester City and yesterday it was the right decision for Pep Guardiola to give him lots of playing minutes.

It was often seen that Al-Nassr lost the ball during attacks and there was one moment where Sadio Mane had the opportunity to dribble the ball but instead he slipped.



However, this result is what Al-Nassr wanted and fortunately its star players remained stable in terms of contributing through goals. Talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, in 48 matches he scored 44 goals in a calendar year, isn't this an extraordinary thing for a 38 year old player? In the future, he will definitely continue to increase his number of goals before this year ends.

Yes, that's it, who else if not Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's true that this is just speculation and we still don't know the truth of this rumor, especially when it comes to Raphael Varane's contract at Manchester United, which will still be valid until 2025. That is quite a long time and he should be able to stay for another season at Old Trafford. In fact, if you are looking for a defender with a younger age, actually yesterday Goncalo Inacio from Sporting Lisbon was also linked with Manchester United and that could be a good solution for the Red Devils to get the services of a younger player. Well, that's why if Al-Nassr is really interested in bringing in Raphael Varane and paying a bigger fee, of course they have to take that opportunity.

Udinese is one of the teams that has never won so far and after they just fired their coach last week, they immediately secured their first win of the season. A very good result for Udinese, especially since they beat an unusual opponent, namely Milan. It seems like Milan has recently lost its consistency and in the last 5 matches they have only been able to win 2 times. This result keeps Milan from moving in 3rd place, but next week it will certainly be a disaster because they only have a 1 point difference from Napoli. Napoli will certainly make good use of this to be able to shift Milan's position and it looks like Pioli will have to evaluate the performance of his players for the next match.

That's right, I also think the same way that Barcelona were just lucky last night and if they could have won for sure maybe they wouldn't have waited until injury time to score a goal. Real Sociedad should be able to put more pressure considering they are the hosts but it seems that Barcelona's defense is also difficult to break down. Lewandowski can sometimes produce good results and also sometimes be blunt when needed and I don't think Xavi has any other options regarding this.

Pedri played his first match after the long injury he suffered and he has not fully returned to his best performance and we have to give him time so he can continue to find his lost performance. Pedri's return will make his partnership with Gavi the difference this season and it will be like what they did in the previous season.

Thanks to his impressive performance when Manchester City managed to crush Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium, Jeremy Doku was included in the list as a player who contributed 4 assists in 1 match. On that list he is with other great players and this is a fantastic record for a young player who is shining and I think Manchester City was right to sign him last summer.

In this match, Jeremy Doku appeared as a starter replacing Jack Grealish, who seems to be being rested by Pep Guardiola ahead of next week's Champions League match. However, not only did he contribute with 4 assists in the match, but Jeremy Doku also scored a brace in this match. He is Manchester City's future player and it looks like Manchester City will continue to keep him.

Lens failed to maintain its positive trend after only drawing against Lorient with the same score of 0-0. I think Lens failed to steal full points in this away match and they should have won against a team at the bottom of the table. Even though in H2H, Lens can always win against Lorient, this time Lens had to accept a draw like the previous meeting. Lens also took 7 shots on target but all of them were stopped by the Lorient goalkeeper. Despite all that, Lens were still able to secure 1 point and currently they have the same points as Marseille. Meanwhile, Lorient must fight to win again in the next match if they don't want to return to the relegation zone.

A spectacular goal from Cristiano Ronaldo and also Laporte's first goal for Al-Nassr made the win at home feel special and they managed to secure 3 points over opponents Al-Khaalej. Overall Al-Nassr dominated the game but often they also missed opportunities to add goals. But playing in front of fans, they have to be able to win and this result keeps them in second place in the standings with 28 points and 4 points away from Al-Hilal. I think Al-Nassr will continue to be consistent throughout this season and they will really forget the bad results they achieved at the start of the season.

The hat trick scored by Harry Kane last night made it his 3rd hat trick wearing the Bayern Munich uniform and it seems like his finishing quality is still deadly in front of the opponent's goal. Who would have thought that Dortmund would be completely crushed by Bayern Munich and Dortmund wouldn't even be able to score a single goal in this match. Harry Kane will continue to be productive as a striker and at the age of 30 he continues to score goals wherever he is. Maybe this result can also prove that Harry Kane is still a strong candidate for top scorer in the Bundesliga this season and Sehrou Guirassy seems to have to score another goal soon so that his competition continues to be maintained with Harry Kane.

The latest rumors are circulating that several Saudi league clubs, including Al-Nassr, are interested in bringing in Manchester United's defender, Raphael Varane. After recently experiencing injuries and rarely starting even though he has recovered, several Saudi league clubs have taken advantage of the existing situation to be able to offer him a deal and I think that's a pretty good step if the deal actually happens.

Maybe Raphael Varane can go to Al-Nassr and at the same time be able to reunite with his teammates at Real Madrid and Manchester United, namely Cristiano Ronaldo. However, this is still a rumor and it seems like Raphael Varane also has to carefully consider his options because the situation at Manchester United will not make his career better after leaving Real Madrid.

The Atalanta vs Inter match seemed to be very heated, as seen by the large number of fouls and yellow cards issued by the referee. However, as the visiting team, Inter took the lead with a goal scored by Calhanoglu through the penalty spot and the one goal advantage lasted until halftime. Inter did not relax their attacks at all because a one goal lead was still quite vulnerable, especially since their opponent was Atalanta and it seemed that Inter was doing their job well and this time it was Lautarom Martinez's turn to score the second goal. Even though Atalanta managed to catch up with a goal scored by Gianluca Scamacca, it was not enough and the match ended with a narrow 1-2 win for Inter. This result makes Inter successful in maintaining the top position of the standings with 28 and it will be increasingly difficult for other teams to catch up.

This is a list of players that Real Madrid will bring against Rayo Vallecano today and it can be seen from this list that there are players who are eagerly awaiting their debut with Real Madrid. He is Arda Guler who has recovered from injury and has been doing training sessions in the past few days. We will definitely see the Turkish wonderkid's debut in the match and maybe he will come on as a substitute in the second half.

Talking about the Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano match, it is actually quite clear that Real Madrid will win for sure and in H2H terms Real Madrid is actually quite far ahead and when Real Madrid are the hosts they always win against Rayo Vallecano. It looks like this will be a difficult match for Rayo Vallecano and considering that Real Madrid has to take the top of the standings again from Girona, they must be able to get 3 points in this match. Well, at least a win with a score of 3-1 is enough for Real Madrid to remain at the top of the La Liga standings this week.

That's right, I still remember very well how Bayern Munich was made difficult by Copenhagen at home and made Thomas Tuchel's troops have to work harder to win the match. If we compare the performance of Bayern Munich and Manchester United, of course The Bavaria is above them and that alone is not enough to win easily against Copenhagen. This will be a troublesome away match for Manchester United and it depends on how they can improvise ahead of this match. I think if Manchester United still uses the same strategy or even the same rhythm, it's the same as them looking for defeat at Copenhagen. Galatassaray will not be able to do much in front of the Bayern Munich fans and they will not be able to beat Bayern Munich and that is a fact that other teams always face.

To be honest, I didn't watch this intense match and seeing the oddity of the VAR decisions made me a bit disappointed with this best league. VAR should be more careful in making decisions and they give the impression that they only benefit one party. They never learn like before and they still defend controversial decisions in this heated match. VAR was also carried out 3 times and took a lot of time, of course the players were very annoyed with this decision, especially the Arsenal players. Even Mikel Arteta was very disappointed with VAR's decision and expressed his anger by saying

Of course, if we were in a position like Mikel Arteta's, we would definitely be very annoyed and also express all the anger he was holding back. In the end, this result put Arsenal at a disadvantage with a difference of 3 points from Manchester City and a difference of 2 points from Spurs.

After the victory in the domestic league against Fulham, Manchester United immediately rushed to develop their next strategy against Copenhagen in the Champions League next week. In fact, Manchester United's wins so far have always been dominated by narrow wins and that is actually not good and could make them fall at any time. This time it's Copenhagen's turn to host the second round against Manchester United and of course Copenhagen doesn't want the Red Devils to be free at home and will avenge their previous defeat. This will be a good sign for Manchester United if they succeed in beating Copenhagen, but if the opposite happens then Manchester United's chances will stop in the group stage.

I think it's a bit excessive for Real Madrid to have to deny this rumor with the official statement they have issued, but if they don't do that then the media will continue to spread this rumor until Kylian Mbappe really goes to Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid just wants to provide correct information and silence the fake news that has been circulated by many media outlets in recent days.

Osimhen would definitely be the right striker to fill the void of striker number 9 at Real Madrid and I think that's something the club could consider next season. But talking about next season, Real Madrid will have the arrival of a wonderkid who they have contracted since the start of last season, namely Endrick from Palmeiras and maybe Real Madrid will temporarily give this player the opportunity to be in the first team and also fill the striker position.
