There are very interesting rumours about Ronaldo recently and I don't find them much realistic to be honest.

Because he is rumoured with some Turkish teams like Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. No matter what I can't imagine a legend like Ronaldo playing in the Turkish Super League. While he is still ambitious to play in the Champions League this would be a big mistake for him. I know that another legend like Roberto Carlos played for Fenerbahçe before. But I believe that it is different when it comes to a player like Ronaldo. I think the same for Messi also. Besides I don't think any Turkish team can afford Ronaldo's demands now.

There was a solid performance by Fenerbahçe against AEK tonight. It was a comfortable 2-0 win but the score gap could have been even bigger as well. Because Fenerbahçe couldn't benefit from some other absolute goal chances also. Arda Güler is a really great talent for them and the supporters were very cheerful after he entered the match. Not much time after he entered he was nearly scoring a goal by a very decent shot but the goalkeeper didn't let him score.

Rennes also won but Fenerbahce are still the leader thanks to their total goal difference in the group. I think the Fenerbahçe - Rennes match will be the decider for the final leader of the group.

Ronaldo just can't get his opportunities in the starting eleven in Premier League matches now. He wasn't ten Hag's first choice against Manchester City as well. As long as this continues it is difficult to see Ronaldo performing very well. He was a regular in the lineup last season and scored many important goals for his team in the league.

Ronaldo still wants to play competitive in the Champions League and doesn't think of retiring yet. But if he can't do this for a long time then maybe he might change his mind about retirement. To be honest we don't see even his last season version now. For example, he played really badly against Spain by wasting many chances. It is difficult to expect big teams to be very eager to sign him anymore.

Eternal Fire continue to make their supporters unhappy. They have started with 2 losses to RMR already. I might understand the Astralis one but the loss against Bad News Eagles wasn't understandable. Actually they could have won both of these matches if they were able to play stronger as a team. They are still trying to make a difference with individual performances but this can't help them at all. XANTARES can't carry the team like all the time. He seemed pretty thoughtful today after seeing a poor team performance again.

woxic mentioned some issues in the team without giving some details on his Twitter. There must be some kind of a psychological problem that prevents this team from playing well consistently. I hope that they can solve it as soon as possible. Otherwise it seems difficult for them to even qualify for Challengers Stage.

PSG were just unlucky today. They could have really won the match thanks to their high effort in the second half. By the way Messi's goal was fascinating and it was a typical Messi goal actually. A very delightful finesse shot to the right corner of the goal. It reminded me of his old days with Barcelona. 

Benfica wouldn't be this much lucky to get a point in Parc des Princes. Juventus needed PSG to win this one as well so their job is even more difficult on the remaining three match weeks. If PSG win the next one and Juventus defeat Maccabi Haifa once again then Juventus are one point behind Benfica. So Juventus will definitely need to defeat Benfica away if they want to continue in the Champions League.

The Champions League matches didn't end as I expected at all yesterday. I decided to play some blackjack to blow off some steam after that. I made up for all my losses. I won 11 times in a row. To be honest I didn't experience such thing before so I wanted to share it with you also. I guess I'm a little lucky in this kind of games.

Yeah, we are going to watch the Japanese GP at the weekend.

This is one of the most difficult tracks in the calendar without doubt. Overtaking would be quite hard here as well. If the weather condition is bad then I can't even imagine what kind of a race is waiting for us. I've read some rain but we'll see. Two rainy races in two weeks would be quite interesting. Verstappen is very close to guaranteeing his second title now. I expect to watch a more concentrated Verstappen in this race after losing his grasp on the victory in Singapore. I think he will continue from where he left and get a reassuring win.

Verstappen and Leclerc both haven't got any win on this track.

There is some new update about Thomas Tuchel.

It is said that Leverkusen made an offer to him as they are in a pretty bad shape in the Bundesliga now. However it looks like he has turned down the offer. To be honest, I thought that he would be willing to return to the Bundesliga after getting an offer from one of the decent teams of the league. But maybe he doesn't want to go to a weaker team after working with Chelsea the last time. He wants to play bigger. For example if teams like Juventus decide to part ways with their manager then Tuchel would be ready to sign for them I think. Tuchel is one of the best managers so it's sensible for him to work with only big teams.

How isn't this handball? Even Barcelona's disallowed goal due to same reason was very debatable. Because that one and the situation in the picture are the same actually. They should have assessed these incidents equally then there wouldn't be any problem. But Barcelona couldn't get a penalty after this incident even though they checked VAR. If VAR won't handle the situation properly then why is there a system like this?

When it comes to the match, Dembele was a big disappointment. We all know how selfish he is. At least he could have scored one goal not to draw a bad attention to himself. Especially on one attempt he was so close to scoring but the ball hit the goal post. Congrats to Inter! They've got a huge win and this is very important for them to consolidate their position. Barcelona are still having problems in the Champions League and they need to win their next match against Inter in Camp Nou this time.

I've also heard about the Cancelo rumour. However Cancelo has signed for Manchester City until 2027 already. He is one of the irrevocable members of the defense line. While he is so precious to the team it is going to be too difficult for Real Madrid to convince the team. It is up to Cancelo's decision and I wonder if he'd like to return to the La Liga so soon.

As for Haaland, Real Madrid would be more serious about signing Mbappe or Haaland next summer. Mbappe would be their main target. However let's be realistic. Both of these players have newly signed for their teams and they both are very happy now. I see Real Madrid having no chance for any of them.

The derby match was really the opposite of my thinking. I was expecting a match in which both teams scoring goals. Actually considering the number of dangerous attacks I really don't understand how this match ended up with a 0-0 draw.

Besiktas goalkeeper Ersin was really impressive in this match. I assume that it was related to his solving his contract issue with the team. He must have finally started to concentrate on his game after this. Valencia found a very crucial chance in the first ten minutes but the ball got out of the field so close to the right corner. Besiktas were really effective in the last minutes of the match. Rosier brought the ball from the defense with a great dribbling but Weghorst couldn't finish. Only two minutes after that Weghorst's great header came back from the goal post. Fenerbahce would have had really stressful minutes if one of them ended up with a goal.

This was a pretty interesting week in the league to be honest.

Ajax were too unlucky this week. Because they dominated the match completely against Go Ahead Eagles just as expected. However they were still stuck at only one goal. And it was like a miracle that their opponent found a goal by their only shot in the second half. They stole one point thanks to this goal and this 1-1 draw must have dropped the morale of Ajax players before their Champions League match.

On one hand, Cambuur's performance was really mesmerizing. They played like they should against PSV and they weren't afraid of their opponent at all indeed. By a great effort in the second half they literally destroyed PSV 3-0. PSV players must have been unprepared against a performance like this. AZ took advantage of this big chance and have taken the lead by defeating Groningen. The current competition in the standings is really lovely even though I feel confident that PSV - Ajax duo will be the only teams in the title race at one point.

Yeah, Perez has been under investigation due to safety car infringement. But I don't know if he'd get a time penalty that is big enough for Leclerc to take the lead. I still don't see any update about the investigation though so let's see what will happen. Whatever result we have from that, I believe that Perez deserved the win from the beginning to the end.

Leclerc must be angry with himself now because he wasted a huge opportunity after getting so close to Perez to overtake him thanks to DRS as well. Leclerc had a big problem on controlling the car at one point and he shouldn't have made that mistake in a critical moment. This was another race he started in pole position but gave up the lead after.

The Manchester derby was really lovely! Haaland is just an insane striker. He made another hat-trick and got two assists also. By this performance, he has made his third hat-trick in three home matches in a row. He has already reached 14 goals in his 8th match in the league. He can surely break a new goal record as long as he maintains this amazing effort.

The goal record (in the 38-match format) belongs to Salah who scored 32 goals in the 2017-18 season. But Haaland scored almost the half of that while we aren't even close to half season.    It is still early to talk about the champion of this season. But it is the truth that no team can prevent Manchester City from achieving the title as long as their beast plays like this.  

We have left a really interesting race behind.

By saying interesting I mean that there were so many incidents throughout the race. We have seen many SCs or VSCs. 6 drivers retired from the race. Latifi "the GOAT" was in-form again and he caused an accident in this race as well.    It was a horrible race for Verstappen and Russell. Especially Russell had his worst race of the season after all that consistent impressive streak. Verstappen could have finished the race in upper positions and maybe he'd have even fought for the lead. But he was too aggressive while trying to overtake Norris and flied out of the track. If he was a little more patient DRS was going to be a big help for him.

Perez was definitely the driver of the day. He had a great start and overtook Leclerc at the beginning. He didn't lose his lead even for once after that. The last laps were really exciting until Leclerc started to make simple mistakes. He just finished himself and helped Perez win by a big gap like 7.5 seconds.

Defensive problems are still alive at Chelsea.

They have splurged on Fofana just to improve their defending and to have a more credible defense line. However they are still not able to finish a match without conceding any goal. At least they can get ahead of this issue by increasing their scoring success rate. Aubameyang scored also which is good news. Because hopefully he'd start to play more consistently after scoring the goal. They won the match maybe but it was like a last-minute goal at the same time. The issues can be solved in time meanwhile Potter is trying to help his team adapt to his system as fast as possible.
