Marseille, Monaco and Lille have performed well so far. With 10 points from 4 matches, Monaco have managed to hold the top spot in the points table. Marseille and PSG are second and third in the table with 8 points. And Lille got 7 points from 4 matches. I think Monaco, Marseille and PSG will fight for the title this season. It is going to be difficult for PSG to win the title this season.
Seeing the development of these three teams is quite extraordinary and I think they just need consistency to be able to go further in Ligue 1. Of course these three are not favorites to win Ligue 1 this season but at least their record will make it quite difficult for PSG to defend their title. Even so, I have no doubts and when they face PSG it will definitely be something worth waiting for who will win. |

Atletico Madrid haven't made much change in their squad for this season. This is a usual thing for Atletico Madrid so I'm not surprised with that. However they have still made a good progress compared to last season. Because this time Atletico Madrid started the season really strongly. Especially that win by 7-0 was brutal.  Simeone is actually using his usual system so I guess it is related to the players now. They seem much more concentrated on their game at the beginning of the season. This is a really important thing for Atletico Madrid to keep up with Barcelona - Real Madrid duo this time. Do you think they can maintain their claim for the title for a long time? It must be admitted that coach Simeone's ingenuity in maintaining his squad last season is starting to show results now and it seems that they only need to change some of the strategies or tactics they usually use. It is possible that Atletico could enter the title race this season and they are actually capable of doing it. The season is still long and they have to maintain this condition so they can compete better with Real Madrid and Barcelona. So I think Atletico have the capacity to fire up the La Liga title race. |

whether Sébastien Haller will be like the next Erling Haaland..
I don't believe Sébastien Haller will be a product of Dortmund like Haaland. The quality of the two is quite different. In the 3 matches at the start of this season, Sébastien Haller has not scored or assisted. he is indeed an option in Dortmund's attack line. But at his current age, Sébastien Haller probably won't have a name as bright as Haaland. Dortmund is indeed famous for the player business they produce with good quality. However, they always produce big names from their clubs. Indeed that is the truth and Haller is just a striker who has been good enough to fill the striker position since last season. It is unlikely that he will be able to match Haaland and as the only striker with a high stature in Dortmund, he should be able to contribute again like last season and bring Dortmund back to victory. If we look at Dortmund's movements in the transfer market this season, they are not looking for an alternative new striker and maybe they will do so next winter. |

Last season Sevilla managed to get the Europa Cup trophy but this season there are no big hopes for Sevilla in the Champions League, plus they are in group B which is filled by Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven and Lens and the tough opponents for Sevilla are Arsenal and Lens because these two teams also have strengths that can be said to be very frightening by providing unexpected surprises in every match.
I'm not sure Sevilla will qualify for the round of 16.
PSV Eindhoven is also a fairly strong team in Group B so Sevilla must be able to achieve more wins if they want to qualify for the round of 16. Although I myself also think that it will be very difficult for Sevilla to qualify for that round because the other three teams in the same group as Sevilla are teams that have the strength to compete for the next round. Personally, I am more sure that Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven will qualify for the last 16 for teams in grub B. It seems that everyone already knows which way Sevilla will finish and I think they will be at the bottom. There is no compelling reason other than that at the moment Sevilla is very fragile and will not be able to compete in the group. Most of their opponents are teams that have been very promising since last season and perhaps Sevilla's only advantage is winning the European league. Especially with the absence of goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, it will be easier for Sevilla to break into the goal. |

Bellingham is extraordinary, he can score 5 goals in 4 matches with Real Madrid so far. But Real Madrid still needs a number 9 striker next year. Because his performance is impossible to always score goals, as you said, his real position is only a winger. If Real Madrid bought a great striker, maybe Bellingham's task would be easier, currently Real Madrid is struggling with makeshift players. It will be a challenge if they play in the Champions League.
Real madrid's line up can be like Man city in 2021-2022 without great stickers, but if it's a death lock then Real Madrid will be difficult, Jude is still young, he also needs to be rotated because he can't keep playing and I'm also not sure he can be consistent scoring performance in every match.
Jude Bellingham delivers Real Madrid at tough moments this season, watching play league game sents a direct message to his opponents, he's a potential replacement for Luka Modric and he fits perfectly well in the team. Playing as if he's been with the club for a long time, how would one explain the speedy adaptive style with Real Madrid pattern of game. Jude Bellingham happens to be the best signing that has happened to Los Blancos this summer, he's presence have contributed alot to the team. Carlo Ancelotti will see more useful parts of the new midfielder that's present at a crucial time like this current period. Bellingham is a phenomenal young player and when Real Madrid did not have a striker, he was in that position as a goal-scoring shadow. Indeed, his adaptation was one of the fastest, especially since Real Madrid was also filled with many other young players. But Bellingham didn't realize he could do it quickly. His expensive transfer fee was paid off by the quality he has and that must have really surprised everyone and fans alike. Ancelotti is a great coach, he is able to use Bellingham well in the current circumstances. |

September 7 have been said to be the date for the final and deadline transfer for the Saudi League
Liverpool are still considering it, letting Salah leave is like shooting themselves in the foot - feet.
Sancho also has been linked with an exit from Man United, it is either he leaves before the deadline closes or sits fof the remaining months to leave Manchester United permanently.
The problem is that they let Salah Leave they can't replace his spot with a new player, they can only get a free agent or one from yougers Liverpool's teams. It is a difficult option if Salah really goes to a Saudi league team. To be honest, it's a bit unfortunate if Salah leaves Liverpool, but on the other hand, it's a lot of money for Liverpool. Is it possible that Liverpool are ready for the problems that will arise later on the field? I don't think they are ready without Salah so it will be a difficult week to decide. |

This is where am getting upset with Eric Hag,because he shouldn't only have a good eleven but also a good substitute. So that if there is any injury,the match will still be balanced and the injured player presence wouldn't be felt in the team work. This was also what happened at the mid of season when some players got injured and the performance and results of the club wasn't good enough. I thought that he should have learnt a lesson from last season. This will be a problem to Man united goal on fighting to win any of the competitions.
In modern day football I have come to discover how important having a good squad depth is. Going 38 games without a good squad depth is nearly impossible to finish top four because when fatique sets in or injuries it will affect the team’s performance drastically. If Ten Hag has any plans of competing for the league trophy then he has to work on improving the quality of his squad by bring in top talents to boost his bench. But the strange thing is that even though Erik Ten Hag has got several of the players he wants in the transfer market, Manchester United still can't get what they want. Could it be that there are technical obstacles that affect the players being able to understand what Erik ten Hag wants in every practice or match? I feel Manchester United will be further behind if it continues like this and maybe they will be quite overwhelmed at the start of the season. |

I know Sevilla this season started badly including in LaLiga with 3x matches lost, it can be widely assumed Sevilla will not qualify we will never know Sevilla's game in the Champions League sometimes it will surprise like in the Europa League last season.
Like last season Sevilla is also in bad shape and they are not favored at all for the champions league. But even if they lose the chance to get a better half, Sevilla don't need to be confused they can still rely on the European league and I think everyone knows that. They do better sometimes for the European league competition and have always been consistent in each season. Sevilla are only supporting entrants in the champions league and if they were serious they could do more than give up. |

If these injuries continue, I'm afraid it will become a bigger problem for his career. Pogba is at his worst during what should have been the heyday of his career, dealing with chronic injuries. I think it's not Juventus anymore, most teams won't want to sign him.
It seems that Pogba's career is over, he might retire early due to persistent and severe injuries. Even though he had just recovered and had just made his debut with Juventus but now he was injured again, I felt sorry to see him. Pogba is an example of a player who was overpowered when he was young, but when he was older he was sluggish due to constant injuries. That is why Lionel Messi and Ronaldo have been the best for dozens of years, even at the end of their careers, because they have never been injured long and badly. No matter how great your talent or struggle, if you often get injured your career will fade. But anyway, Pogba still has a long contract at Juventus at least until 2026. That way, then at least Juventus will continue to try to recover Pogba even though indeed, it looks like it might not fully guarantee to recover. Because yes, with Pogba age continuing to grow older too then at least, it will be difficult to make a quick recovery. Therefore, Pogba career may not be long and perhaps, not until the end of his contract. Because after all, the bad impact of a long injury is certainly a decreased performance and moreover, Pogba plays in a midfield position which certainly requires excellent conditions. Maybe Juventus, instead of leaving Pogba at the club and continuing to pay him without any contribution, it would be better for them to take the right steps such as parting ways by mutual agreement or if there are other teams starting to offer him in the next transfer window then they should start letting him go. Pogba, who has suffered repeated injuries, seems to have lost his passion for playing football and that is not good for a big team like Juventus. |

According to the news by the famous football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Villareal head coach Quique Setién has left the club and seize to be manager and the report says that it's due to his one win and three losses in for games this season that's made him lose his managerial position, the club director of football Miguel Angel Tena, will replace him on an interim basis and resume training tomorrow.
Now this is what happens when a manager leave up to expectations and fail to deliver his club, he's a fine coach though he's currently very old but has managed in other Laliga clubs like Barcelona, and Realbetis but failed to be successful at Villareal, well I hope the former club director of football would be able to handle to the position of the head coach and probably win their next match, if feel they should had signed a new manager instead of appointing the director as an interim manager.
This is the quickest sacking of a coach and I'm surprised it happened for Villarreal. The fact that they have had such negative results so far is a strong reason for coach Setien's dismissal and it is likely that Villarreal will struggle a bit in the upcoming matches if they do not prepare a replacement coach. Now the candidate for a new coach will also have a big responsibility to bring Villarreal back to winning ways and that's not easy with the current circumstances. I think Villarreal was too hasty in sacking the coach. |

There is still the possibility for Salah to leave Liverpool and join the Saudi League because the Saudi team, Al Ittihad is still trying to put Salah under pressure to make him leave but yesterday Liverpool coach Klopp said I have nothing to say about this news related to Salah because the situation is not changed yet and they are not going to lose this player, however, we know Al Ittihad is not going to give up.  It looks like it will be very difficult for a player as great as Mohamed Salah to turn down an offer from Al-Ittihad and even though he wants to stay, it is likely that he is no longer passionate about Liverpool. Coupled with Liverpool's drop in caste to the European league, Mohamed Salah's confidence in leaving for Al-Ittihad was much greater. Maybe Kloop won't be able to hold him and Liverpool will definitely be very happy if this transfer goes through because they will get so much cash injection. |

I personally think that maybe Napoli can do better this time. They haven't been regularly joining the Champions League above all else. Therefore there was some lack of experience. They still did great last season of course. Because they made it to the quarter finals. However they couldn't deal with Milan obstacle despite a big effort.
But this time I will be expecting an even more competitive and aware team. They should be able to develop better strategies against especially the experienced teams of the tournament. When it comes to their group now I can just say it is quite easy for them. We should be watching a tough fight between Napoli and Real Madrid for advancing as the leader.
Last season was probably one of Napoli's biggest milestones in the champions league and I agree they just need to get used to this competition to get something better. Even now, the Napoli squad is still filled with defensive players and all of them will only have to develop their abilities further. The champions league competition is the toughest and all the teams are competing against each other to win this title. Napoli's match against Real Madrid in the group phase was the most exciting and we can assume that these two teams will advance to the next round. |

Roma lost again with a score of 1-2 against Milan and this is a very bad result for Jose Mourinho's squad because they can't give a win in front of their fans. Milan did very well even with 10 men in the second half and they didn't panic at all when they were in quite a bit of pressure. Milan's advantage from the early minutes made them sure to win this match, but unfortunately Roma only managed to score 1 goal in the final minutes which meant nothing.

Bonucci is going to Berling.
What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.
His move to Union Berlin was definitely not without reason and even though he looks like a villain now but his long contribution to Juventus, all fans will surely give up on him. I think that's quite natural, especially since he is no longer young and the club has certainly considered his departure. What's more, he has never had minutes to play, so surely Allegri and Bonucci know very well the current conditions. |

Manchester City's performance is still very stable. They are under no pressure. The team is not playing attacking like last season but still their performance is very stable. They have won three of the three matches comfortably. Coach Guardiola is very experienced. This is why Manchester City's performance remains stable. Haaland Haaland is not performing well this season. Haaland was in excellent form last season. However, we are not seeing a better performance from Haaland this season. De Bruyne is also injured. Silva also missed several matches due to injury. I think Manchester City's performance will be stronger if De Bruyne returns to the squad. Haaland's chemistry with De Bruyne is also excellent. So it is expected that if De Bruyne returns to the squad, Haaland's performance will improve even more.
Yes, so far Manchester City has not overdone it and maintained their victory quite convincingly. They always appear confident even though they know that now they cannot go all out to attack because they lost one of their key players who is still injured. But sometimes things like this can be quite risky, especially if they meet a comparable opponent then Manchester City could be in trouble. Indeed, these two players who are bound to each other cannot be separated and we know that recently Haaland has had quite a difficult time without De Bruyne's pass. |

I tried the bonus purchase feature on slots, but mostly I only got bad results and I often even lost money. But when I do regular spins, sometimes I actually get quite a lot of money from multiplication of 25x to 50x. I often see people get multiplied above 100x on buying these bonuses, but I've never felt it myself. So maybe I'm out of luck and I'd rather do that regular spin for now.

After a slow start he just picks up the numbers and wins some big points for Al Nassr to get back into the title race. For me there is no doubt that he will be the best striker . In two matches he had some amazing results so i expect even more from him in the upcoming matches.
I also no doubt, Ronaldo will definitely be able to become best striker and add more goals in the upcoming matches, at 38 years old he can still play very well. Al Nassr also knows very well how to attract the audience interest, they place Ronaldo as a mainstay striker to become the top scorer in this Saudi Pro League. But unfortunately this season is really tough for Al Nassr to got the title, because Ittihad currently at the top on the points table and that team quite impressive, they have not conceded a single goal so far. Ronaldo's experience in Europe is very much and he will continue to score goals at any time. Al-Nassr seemed lucky to get him because at that time it was still not as busy as it is now for European player competition in the Saudi league. But there is still a long way to go this season and I think Al-Nassr will still be able to catch Al-Ittihad or another strong team. Maybe Al-Nassr just has to maximize the opportunities they have, especially since they have to avoid losing to weak teams in the early matches so they don't experience the same thing. |

Napoli surely has the chance to dominate again Serie A. We don't underestimate Rudi Garcia, he is also a good coach. Although Rudi Garcia doesn't win many trophies as Luciano Spalletti, we shouldn't doubt his quality. Moreover, Napoli looks still as strong as the last season, most of the main players stay in the club. They have Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, and Piotr Zielinski as the main players who can make the difference on the squad.
Yes, as long as the Napoli players from last season still stay for this season, I don't think we should underestimate them in the slightest. Moreover, we will always look forward to the duet of Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia in every match. Coach Rudi Garcia at least definitely knows how to give direction to the reigning Serie A champions and he may not have had as much trouble as Luciano Spalleti when building this squad from the start. Rudi Garcia only has to continue the legacy of Luciano Spalleti and with the integrity of the existing players, it won't be difficult. |

The transfer window will close at Friday and Frankfurt has an offer of 80 million euros for Kolo Muani. Paris Saint-Germain would like to have him and would even give Hugo Ekitike to Fankfurt for him. Frankfurt would also like to have him. But they have not yet agreed on the salary. In any case, Frankfurt wants to clarify everything as soon as possible, as the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Sofia is at Thursday.
This is a very crucial transfer, especially if Kolo Muani leaves before the game against Sofia it will be quite detrimental. The reason is that he is an important striker that Frankfurt needs to be able to win and currently the aggregate with Sofia is still the same 1-1. I think as long as Frankfurt can handle the departure of Kolo Muani it won't be a problem because they will also get a lot of money from selling him to PSG. Currently PSG is building a new team and they really need a striker like Kolo Muani so that their goals can be achieved. |

To be fair PSG didn't really needed help from Neymar and Messi to win Ligue 1, they won it before Messi was there and Neymar spent the season mostly injured as well. It is normal for them to be ready for a season like this and they will win the title again anyway. They are trying to build a team for UCL and we all know that Mbappe will leave, so they are trying to make sure that it goes smooth enough and they do a good job replacing him.
Maybe they won't get someone who is as good, but they will get some good players and I think it should be important to remember that it will take a while before they could end up with a result that is bigger than just ligue 1 title. They are still quite young, they could grow to be better.
True, without Neymar and Messi, PSG are actually still strong enough if only to win the Ligue 1 title. But it must be realized that without Mbappe it will be very detrimental for the team and we can see in the previous matches that they were quite overwhelmed to be able to win. Mbappe is leaving next year and it's a fact that by now, he won't survive any offers from the club's owners. Mbappe has only been at PSG for the last season and after that there will definitely be a scramble for the player. As one of the big European teams, the Champions League title is a dream that must be realized by PSG and seeing next season without Mbappe makes the existing players have to develop much more and therefore they start building a team starting this season to be able to win two titles at once in one season. |
