Has anyone seen the Milan Juventus match? A match full of emotions, a red card and continue change of front, Milan who could have won with 10 men but then were defeated by tiredness. A good match and in the end my beloved Juventus even won.

Honestly, seeing Marc Guiu's performance was just something else. At 17, scoring that winning goal? It's every young player's dream! The joy on Xavi's face was so raw and genuine. Athletic Bilbao, as always, gave a tough fight, but Barcelona's strategic player change was a game-changer. Props to Xavi for that

Regarding Girona, I'm with you. Their continued stellar performance is honestly surprising. After their 5-goal victory, and considering their upcoming match against Celta Vigo, the dynamics of the La Liga standings are super unpredictable right now. But hey, isn't that what makes La Liga exciting?

And about El Clasico? If Real Madrid doesn't fix their striker situation, I genuinely believe Barcelona might have the upper hand. Especially if they leverage the youth talent, as we saw with Guiu. These are indeed interesting times for La Liga

According to the https://www.90min.com/posts/arsenal-monitoring-douglas-luiz-following-failed-2022-transfer


No doubt if arteta has interest toward him. It's caused by douglas has been performing even better in aston villa since he was getting three bids from arsenal last year but aston villa has been rejecting it all. Arteta is having willingness to recruit him once again.
It's likely that he will be trying so hard in getting douglas luiz to join in the arsenal in winter transfer season. Im not even feeling doubt since arteta was his fans too.
Douglas luis is showing more improvement on his skill after being coached by unay emery. I shall give him applause for his hard work. Arsenal just need to pay what aston villa wanted but this probably not small amounts of money.

Im not sure if kroenke will be also approving it caused by he has been spending a lot in the summer transfer season, arteta may face difficulty into recruiting him from aston villa caused by emery may not let him go out from the club too.
douglas is a worthy player to be gotten by arsenal.

After watching the Man UTD game I saw a different Maguire on the pitch, the one that's not in a hurry to make a mistake. I know he has made so many errors which led to him being stripped off the captain hand ban, that's cool on him and he knows that. The two games Man UTD played and won was on him playing well, making sure he builds up his confidence.
To me at this point Harry Maguire is more proactive, he reads the game better than before and he knows when to make a push to force the ball the opposition half, and is working for him.
Nobody would say Harry Maguire isn't getting his confidence back to support his team mates, at least now he's not under much pressure and playing against the champions (this weekend) I feel he'll do his best to make Manchester United get something out of that encounter, I can't say UTD would win (we know is a derby), all I'm trying to say is Maguire would do much better in that fixture.

Interesting, but I don't think it's that simple. In fact, we cannot yet confirm the line-up and pattern that Ten Hag will apply on the third matchday against Copenhagen. However, we know that currently the performance of Erik Ten Hag's current squad tends to not show a good game, let alone show an impressive game. Plus, many players are certain to be absent, especially defensive line players.

I was interested in Ruud Gullit's statement which said that United players often ignore Rasmus Hojlund, who so far has not been able to score a single goal in the Premier League. In short, the legend of the Dutch star player said that there was no unity in the United squad, especially the midfielders and the Red Devil strikers always wanted to score goals themselves, instead of helping their new striker get on the scoreboard. Most United players are too eager to score goals for themselves, cut inside, and always want to shoot, quoted from GOAL.

To be honest, lately I rarely watch Manchester United match after match. But in any case, I'm sure Ten Hag is aware of the problems that are occurring within his camp, especially in the Red Devil dressing room. However, as a coach, he will try to maximize and bring his squad to win the match against Copenhagen in the third round of the Champions League group stage.  playing at his own base, Ten Hag didn't want to experience a third defeat.
IMO, United still has a chance for that.  Moreover, if we refer to the available odds, United remains the favorite in this match with odds @1.37. Well, we'll see how they play the match later. Regarding whether or not they failed in the group phase, let time tell.

hahaha it must have been annoying for Ac Milan last night because they lost only 1-0 to Juventus, if you look at the match between these two teams it was very fierce, which both showed their respective balance in playing, even though Juventus almost conceded but they were still able to defend it.
From the whole match Juventus played more aggressively so that they had many opportunities to add goals, but there was only one kick that could break into the Ac milan goalkeeper, it was a strong kick from Locatteli which bounced off the AC milan defender, if it didn't bounce on the Ac milan defender's knee I think Mirante could still hold the kick.

Ac milan must be humiliated at home, for some reason their game is not so good as before, are they having problems with the players? or indeed Juventus have started to bounce back.

Liverpool's group in Europa League isn't that top and should end first in front of Toulouse or Saint-Gilloise or LASK. If they win their next game vs Toulouse which I assume they will do, they could confirm qualification since the 4th matchday. This will give them advantage in the next round.
Once qualified, there is few teams currently here that could annoy them like Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, Atalanta mainly without forgetting those that will get demoted from Champions League race. I think Liverpool's chance to get to the finals are quite big.

What do you think about Benfica's match against Real Sociedad, because currently Benfica hasn't got a single point and can they beat Real Sociedad in the group D phase later?

Actually, if we look at the quality of these two teams, it is quite balanced, but Benfica will be slightly favored because they will be the hosts. But Real Sociedad came with high motivation to be able to add points and also maintain first position in group D. I think this will be a challenge for Benfica and they must be able to beat Real Sociedad if they want to have a chance of qualifying for the next round. We know that Benfica performed very well last season, but unfortunately this season they have had quite a difficult time facing their opponents in Group D and have never tasted victory.

I didn't expect to see Girona this well either. They had a 5-goal victory. Almeria took a 2-0 lead but Girona ripped them apart. 7 goals in the match actually show Girona's dangerous potential. It was a historic moment for Guiu. He can't forget yesterday's game, where he scored the winning goal.

Much like CR7's performances, where Ronaldo scored numerous goals when playing for clubs other than Man United. However, when the expensive striker dons the Man United jersey, it seems like a curse not to be able to find the back of the net. I'm more suspicious of tactics and player egos than inclined to castigate Hojlund's performance.

It's possible that the opportunities Hojlund had were ill-timed and not maximized to their full potential.

Indeed, he does possess genuine potential and impressive skills. The jests about Maguire are essentially a product of media framing and other social media platforms. Yes, the media has a penchant for the negative as it tends to garner more attention and engagement from the public.

Maguire's blunders always make for a hot-selling item on news portals. Hence, the player may appear to have a poor performance, even though good play isn't always in the media spotlight, which is why his name is more associated with mistakes.

Maguire still rightfully deserves to be a defender for Manchester United at present.

It was such an unfortunate day for Milan today. Because their performance was actually promising in the first half. Things could have been better for them if they were able to finish the half without that red card. It really ruined their plans I'm afraid. The second half was fully under control of Juventus after that.

Locatelli's winner brought Juventus really important three points. Honestly I didn't expect Juventus to finish Milan's winning streak in San Siro. Probably they couldn't have done it if it weren't for the red card. This week has been in favour of Juventus to get right behind Milan by one point at the same time.

Julian Alvarez has been getting so many playing time this season at Manchester City more than he managed to get at this stage last season. His increased number of games is as a result of the fact that Kelvin De Bruyne has been out injured.
Though Julian Alvarez looks very happy with his current club Manchester City but there are chances that he might consider a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu if the right offer comes from the European giants.

I have taken Manchester United out of the picture of teams that will qualify for that group, the same way that Man Utd are hoping to win their game is the same way the opponent team Copenhagen and Galatasaray that has gotten some point, is looking forward to getting more point to qualify, thereby making it more difficult for the man United side that has not even gotten a point to think of going through the next round of the competition.

Barcelona's young talent Marc Guiu played his first professional match at the age of 17 and scored the winning goal. It was an incredible night for him. Xavi's joy says it all, I've never seen him like this.
Athletic Bilbao was a difficult opponent, they resisted well for a long time. But the change of players bore fruit immediately. Guiu scored a goal that he will never forget as soon as he entered the game.
With this result, the point difference decreased to 1. Barcelona caught up with their rivals. On the other hand, Girona still continues to win. I wonder how long their amazing performance will last. I didn't expect it to last this long.

Chelsea really could have won this big match. But I would absolutely blame it on Robert Sanchez here that Chelsea lost 2 points by conceding late goals. He made really simple mistakes on both goals truthfully. First the misplaced pass leading to a comfortable goal and later on not being able to save the shot although the ball was coming directly towards himself.

I must admit one thing also that Mudryk's goal was spectacular.    It was such a classy goal that I wouldn't be surprised if it is voted for the goal of the week. Anyway we saw some progress from Chelsea but I hope they can find a solution to their weaknesses as soon as possible.

The pressure is off him, attention is now more on Onana. Good thing for Harry Maguire too because he has long been bullied and criticized. If this is an indication of Harry Maguire returning back to his best, Manchester United will not be able to keep him when other clubs come for him during the transfer opening to give him a first team position and option. If he can consistently perform at this level till the end of the year, his value will surely increase.

Barcelona should be able to beat Bilbao in this match instead of drawing. Bilbao cannot be favored against Barcelona because the meeting record between the two teams is too favorable to Barcelona, ​​especially in the last 5 matches. Barcelona had injury problems in this match and of course that made Xavi lose many options for substitutions.

I have big doubts about saying this match will end in a draw, that's because Barcelona has a home advantage that can be exploited. Moreover, since Real Madrid drew against Sevilla yesterday, Barcelona must be able to win this match to cut the point gap to 1 point with Real Madrid and also Girona.

The Saudi Pro League club wants to sign Ansu Fati next summer:
Barcelona is open to selling their younger star at a very reasonable price.
According to SPORT, the talks have begun, and it could seem that Barcelona FC will sell Ansu Fati to Saudi Arabia for the upcoming campaign.
SPORTS has also revealed that Saudi Arabia's first step towards signing Ansu Fati Informal discussions are currently underway with the player staff and several members of the squad close to the 20-year-old, who are not comfortable with the idea of a move to the Kingdom of Arabia. Ansu Fati currently does not envisage leaving European football, although that could change until June 30, 2024. Currently, Ansu Fati is too young, and he is a very good player, so I think he would settle in Europe and make his career best by playing in a higher-level competition. 
What do you think that he needs to focus on his career and continue to play at higher competition, or does he make greedy towards money and abandon his career like Neymar?
etc.

West Ham can still win the game, they have players that are as good as the players in Aston Villa. Pacqueta is to blame for the goal because he switched off and allowed Douglas luiz the chance to score. One goal down is not so difficult to recover from, if they work hard to make sure that Ollie Watkins does not score his own goal because he is enjoying his best form.

If Aston Villa keep up the tempo, they will win against West Ham.

Inter has been performing pretty well. Even though they have not been able to win more than three matches in the last five, they have been performing pretty well and pretty consistently to stay at the top of the table, we have to give them credit for that. In the last match against Torino, they were able to perform really well and beat them pretty easily in the end.  I also believe that they are definitely going for the league title this season. looking at the goal difference I think everyone should understand that easily.
