Yes, it is a surprising result, Roma won against Empoli by scoring 7 goals. It something rarely happens in Serie A that a team could scored more than 5 goals in a match. Moreover, it is the first win for AS Roma, they made a ad start in this season because they never won in the first 3 matches. Well, finally we can see that AS Roma returns to the right way.

Sure, Lukaku perfomed well today. He probably wants to show to people that he still has a great skill as a striker. He also want to ensure AS Roma that he should play as the main striker in AS Roma. I think it is a great decision to make a duo Lukaku-Dybala as the strikers of AS Roma.
Roma first win at the start of this season was not even half-hearted. Roma was able to win this match with a big score because of the poor performance of their opponents in this match. Well they finally got 3 points and they are getting more confident for the upcoming match. So, looking at the results of this week's matches, the results were unexpected, as Inter Milan managed to win the match against AC Milan with a score of 5-1. Juventus even managed to win the match against Lazio with a score of 3-1. This week it looks like the big teams are winning the matches with the many goals they score.

For Roma, this victory is quite meaningful for them because their quality was really doubted at the start of this season after having difficulty winning. Statistically, they really gave no mercy to Empoli in this match because they managed to complete every opportunity perfectly.
Paulo Dybala scored a brace while Romelu Lukaku opened his goalscoring account for Roma since joining the club on loan from Chelsea in the summer to help Roma get their first win of the season. It was convincing win and also a strong message to anyone who's probably questioning Roma's ability.
They have a UEFA Europa League game to play away at Sheriff on Thursday and this resounding win a good way to boost the team's morale before their first European game of the season.

I doubt with Manchester United will take first three points away against Bayern Munich due have quit well performance in domestic league.
With the way Manchester united is currently performing in premier league, i don't think Manchester united will be able to win Bayern Munich, Manchester united performance is really poor this season, we all know Bayern Munich to be a strong club and there performance is really good currently, Manchester united those not even stand any chance, i see the match to be a easy win for Bayern Munich.

Manchester United have serious problem with defense position, until 5 matches they have conceded 10 goals and doubt with Champion League opening match against Bayern Munich will easily get points.
Manchester United's defense is really poor, in the 5 matches that they have played in the Premier League, their goalkeeper has already conceded 10 goals, and I don't really blame only the goalkeeper, I blame the defenders for most of those goals scored. If a defense is poor, no matter how good a goalkeeper is, he is still going to concede. Am not also impressed by their goalkeeper, his performance is below everyone's expectations.

With Manchester United's overall performance since the start of the new season, I think it'll be very difficult for them to have a good campaign in the UEFA Champions League competition this season. Conceding 10 goals in their first five league matches if the season is a true testament that the club's defense is nothing to write home about.
They begin their champions league campaign away at Bayern Munich in the midweek and judging by what I've  see so far, I'll be very surprised to see them take a point from that game

For awhile, Kylian Mbappe have final decision will leave Ligue 1 next season after not extending contract with PSG will over next season but I doubt that final decision or change later for renewing contract with PSG. Did you remember before when Mbappe contract will be over but in deadline window transfer closing he reached agreement extended contract two years later with PSG after fantastic offering from management. Depend with Kylian Mbappe priority he will push up his level career and moving to Real Madrid is the best option or keep staying with PSG and actually he will get another chance with fantastic offering and highest salary payment.

Looking with his rival Haaland have won Champion League I think Mbappe have move to Real Madrid if want to win Champion League tittle because have been several years with PSG but never winning yet.
Moving to Real Madrid doesn't give Mbappe a guarantee of winning the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, but it does open up the possibility of doing so. But is Real Madrid really interested in him or is it just Mbappe who hopes to go there and help Real Madrid win it?

I would prefer if Mbappe moved to the Premier League regardless of whether he wants to go to Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City. In the Premier League he can be a better player than in La Liga where the competition is dominated by only two teams in the long run. The Premier League is different even though so far Manchester City has dominated the title in the last 6 seasons.
Moving to Real Madrid is surely gonna guarantee Kylian Mbappe of winning the Balon D'or award but it's surely gonna improve his chances of winning the prize. Since he signed for Paris Saint Germaine from his former club Monaco, Kylian Mbappe has scored  more goals for the French champions than any other player. If he's managed the same number of goals for Real Madrid, he would've either win the Balon D'or award come closer than he had ever done throughout his time at PSG.
Mbappe has shown his desire to play for the Spanish giants and so have the club publicly disclosed of how serious they want to bring the France international to the Santiago Bernabeu.

I always withdraw all my winnings and only deposit the right amount i want to use to gamble whenever i want to play a game. I’d like to know everyone’s opinion on which way is better and which one do you practice in managing your funds on gambling sites.
I prefer to withdraw my funds as well even if its not that big though some site are quiet expensive when it comes to withdrawal so I have no choice but to stay it there though its also ok as long as the funds is still manageable. Managing your funds is very important, its like budgeting since this is gambling and if you are too careless, you might suffer big losses and greed can always come to you and if you have an over budget on your account there is a high possibility that you might spend all.
Withdrawing all your winnings immidiately after it was confirmed and credited to your betting account is the best way to manage one's money in gambling sites because leaving your money in gambling sites is very risky approach since you don't have the full custody of the gambling site. So whenever you win and withraw all your winnings, you'll be requested to fund your account the next time you want to place a bet abd that I think is the best approach in managing one's money in gambling sites.

Chelsea have spent a lot of money on transfers in the recent 2 years. It must be around €1b in total which is unbelievable.  Shocked

But still this team are having serious problems on winning games in the EPL. It is really difficult to understand. They have started to replace their managers more often lately also and they still can't find what they want. What is the real reason behind this? Isn't there still a decent level of chemistry among the players? I know that Nkunku is injured also but still the team effort is really not good enough.

I think whoever coaches Chelsea will have the same problems. They have had a long period of wrong planning. Now it's not realistic to expect someone to come in and change everything in an instant. I hope they give Pochettino enough time. Even Mourinho can't fix everything at once. Nobody has a magic wand.

I think Chelsea need to have players with leadership qualities, Didier Drogba was such a player. They made a lot of transfers. But they haven't done one right transfer.
The truth is that Chelsea has been very poor since the start of last season but got worse after the new owner Todd Boehly sacked their former manager Thomas Tuchel from his job as the club manager. Graham Potter was immidiately appointed as Tuchel,'s successor but had one of the worst performances of a Chelsea manager over the last two decades.
Mauricio Pochettino isn't a magician and shouldn't be expected to come into the club and bring instant positive change but truth be told, getting just five points out of a possible 15 points is just to poor for manager his Pochettino's calibre

Leipzig against Augsburg was the cleanest match this week with not a single yellow card issued by the referee. Leipzig definitely closed their victory from the first half because they had broken into Augsburg's goal 3 times. Each goal was scored by Xavi Simons, Luis Openda and David Raum. In the second half there were no significant changes and it seemed that both teams were quite satisfied with the results. This result made Leipzig secure 3rd place, followed by Stuttgart, Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg by collecting the same number of points.

I have had sympathy for Leipzig since last year. They started this year very well and are at the top of the leadership race. They are only 1 point short of their opponents, which means they can take the lead in the matches to be played in the coming weeks.
It is not easy to become a champion when there is a team like Bayern, but we can say that Bayern is not very good this year compared to other years

Last year Munich wasn't really that dominant either. In fact, they almost lost the title last season with the same points as Dortmund.
Leipzig is always consistent with its achievements every season to continue to be at the top of the standings. they are a strong team in the bundesliga that I think is very likely to compete with Munich and Dortmund.
It's still too early in the season for every team. but I hope the competition will remain interesting until the end of the season with several clubs showing consistent performance. when the Bundesliga has strong teams that are very competitive, then it will show better competition, like in the Premier League or La Liga.
Leipzig without doubt has been one of the most consistent German clubs for over five years now and I think they deserve some praises for how well they've been performing with their average players. They're currently in the third position in the German Bundesliga table and are just one point behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen who are also in the same points with second placed Bayern Munich after four league games.
They play their UEFA Champions League game next week Tuesday away at Young Boys and I believe they're gonna have a good result in that game after their comfortable win against Augsburg yesterday.

5 points after 5 rounds is completely fucked up, of course  Grin I don’t think that the parallel failures of United and Newcastle somehow reassure Chelsea fans because it was supposed that this would be a season for them with a complete focus on the Premier League (while other clubs are putting their energy into European competition), but so far there is nothing but failures. And I don’t think that Pochettino has time until January, if the team does not start defeating at least weak and average opponents, he will be fired.

I didn't regret Chelsea dropping points in previous matches. But I was very disappointed with Chelsea's performances against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Chelsea lost 1-0 against Nottingham Forest and today drew goalless against Bournemouth. Today's match at least I expected better performance from Chesley. But as usual Chelsea's performance was very poor. The performance of Chelsea's attacking players was poor. The performance of the players made me feel like they were aimless. They have no match strategy. Coach Pochettino has failed so far. There was nothing he could demonstrate to prove his ability. Chelsea management may be looking for a new coach again.

The funny thing is that now they have an easy series of games - out of 5 games, the only serious rivals were Liverpool and somehow Chelsea managed to draw with them. Further games will be more intense and if Chelsea loses to the favorites and the same losers (in the moment) like Newcastle or United, then they simply will not rise from 14th place where they are now.
Picking up just five points in a possible 15 points is absolutely a poor result for a club like Chelsea after breaking the world records for the most expensive transfer window for a club. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is supposed to do more than what we've seen so far.
After Chelsea's performance in their first English Premier League game against Liverpool, I thought that there was a very significant improvement from what we saw from the club last season but unfortunately, the club is still far from coming back to their best. It's still very early days of the season but I'll be surprised to see Chelsea finish I the top four at the end of the season.

Am sure Ancelotti is biting his fingers on the ignored deal for Mbappe. The match between Madrid and Sociadad was quite boring in first half, am hoping second half would be more entertaining rather than the way it seemed like Madrid were struggling to live up to their former glory.
One thing about every new season is how every team starts the struggle from match 1 till end. Season in, season out.
This match is sure going to put enough pressure on Ancelotti to come up with a better goal striker option along with Bellingham.
Ancelotti can't expect much this season, especially regarding which players he really wants to bring in. His contract is due to expire at the end of the season and he is unlikely to extend his contract for another job. Of course, Ancelotti only relied on the good performance of his midfielders including Bellingham and several others, while Rodrygo and Joselu weren't really able to take on much responsibility when Madrid lacked strikers.

Rodrygo and Joselu can score goals, but Real Madrid should be aware that neither of them can always perform well. Madrid needs a center forward instead of constantly relying on Joselu, but Real Madrid's confidence is still fine as long as they can achieve positive results in every match even without a good center forward.
The Spanish La Liga game between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad is almost over and Real Madrid are likely to win the match. It was Joselu's header in the 61st minute of the game that have Real Madrid the lead after Federico Valverde strike cancelled Ander Barrenetxea's early goal.
I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to struggle to win the game but Real Sociedad has given them a torrid night at he Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's current formation has been working for the club but I think it'll be difficult for Madrid to win without recognized striker when they face stronger opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition.

We all know Real Madrid is in the good shape now and all of their players were on fire especially Bellingham that from total 8 goals Real Madrid he has scores 5 goals and today Real Madrid had ambition to resumes their winning streak but they shouldn't be underestimate Sociedad because this team also in the positive condition that before international break Sociedad have already win from Granada with huge scores so this can be their motivation to stole point from Real Madrid besides that last season Sociedad has successfully to beat Real Madrid at their home ground and indeed most of people will be very confident Real Madrid will being an the winner of this match because if we compare the recent performance from them Real Madrid is much better than Sociedad and Real Madrid has odds @1.64 this is not high but i think it's safe bet
I just realized that more than 50% of Real Madrid's goals have come from their new signing, Jude Bellingham. That's an incredible record that he's been able to create so far.
Their opponent now is Real Sociedada, an opponent that will not be easy for Real Madrid. But the condition of Real Sociedad now is also in a bad state, they have just risen from the series of draws they won in the first 3 matches with a victory in their 4th week.
The bookie makes Real Madrid favorites, it is not surprising with their good performance by being the only club to sweep with a victory from all the matches they have played in La Liga.
Even that is more than 50 per cent if you look at the current conditions.
We know that in these four matches, Madrid have scored eight goals, with five goals from Jude, one goal from Joselu, one goal from Rodrygo and one goal from Vini. This means that if we take a percentage in this case, it has actually been seen from the 8 goals that Madrid created, there were 6 goals scored by their new players so that it already shows more than 50 percent.
At the moment, Jude is really playing well as he is always the difference and makes Madrid get 3 points in their matches thanks to the goals that Jude creates in each match.
Jude Bellingham has started his Real Madrid career in an excellent style and I hope he continues his impressive performance for the Spanish giants. Scoring five league goals out of the total eight league goals that's been scored by the club is just over 50% but also a great way to announce his presence in the Spanish La Liga.
Real Madrid play against Real Sociedad tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu and a win in for them will take them back to the summit of the league and with Jude Bellingham's current form, I'm pretty sure he's gonna help his club to get all three points from that particular game

I don't even see brilliant performance from chelsea. Chelsea is still showing the same shitty performance like previous match. The club keeps repeat the same gameplay. I tell you that if chelsea is never playing the beauty of football.
This club is becoming a club with most backpass. What i was seeing from chelsea is just doing back pass over and over again. I don't even see the players were trying to build creative attack.
Chelsea has no improvement since the previous match. Chelsea needs only to change is strategy like use 4-3-3 offensive which was helping jackson a lot in attacking its opponent.
I saw that some useless players like sterling which is always driblling when he got the ball.
Even though the Blues attacking performance looked very bad in distributing the ball, the final finishing was not very good. Chelsea players lost a lot of the ball for no apparent reason, despite winning overall ball possession. At first glance, Pochettino squad played worse than Bournemouth, the strategy that Pochettino implemented seemed unclear. Three points should be easy to get, because on paper the depth of the two squads is very different, a draw cannot change Chelsea position on the standings.

Mudryk, Jackson and Sterling can't be starters anymore I think, their quality is very far from expectations. It's true that Chelsea hasn't improved at all, I agree with you. With that style of play, Chelsea is no different from a club at the bottom of the standings.
Chelsea's overall performance this season has been very poor and the new manager Mauricio Pochettino must step up his game in other to have a successful campaign in his first season at the club. This is the first English Premier League match that ended in a goalless draw since the start of the season.
Bournemouth who are yet to win a league match since the start of the season will be happy with the result which has handed them their third league draw of the season instead losing to a big club like Chelsea.

Yesterday all favorites won except Manchester United who once again had a lot of difficulties against Brighton and lost their game 1-3.Other than that everything went smoothly with Manchester City,Tottenham,Liverpool and Newcastle all won their games and made a lot of money to people who bet them or parlayed them together.

Now I hope Arsenal which is the main favorite to win today their game while also Chelsea is playing against a weak opponent in theory and they should win their game too.However the Premier League is usually with surprise results every week and this week so far no favorite has made an error so surprises can be expected.

Man Utd are in big trouble, they’ve spent so much money since Ten Hag took over and they don’t look anywhere close to competing for the big trophies. I’d argue that Ten Hag’s job might be under threat if they don’t start getting results soon.

Chelsea today are even more of a joke, spending the GDP of a small nation on crap players. If they don’t beat Bournemouth you could say Pochettino should be under pressure.

Liverpool, Spurs and Man City all looking strong, let’s see what Arsenal can do today.
Manchester United current results I a reflection of the club's current internal crises between the club manager Erik Ten Hag and few of the first team players who are reportedly not happy with some the managers philosophy and disciplinary actions. Jadon Sancho is currently suspended from the first team because it was reported that he has a confrontation with the manager.
I think the high-handedness of the manager is probably unbearable to some of the players hence the underperformance from them because they probably want him to be sacked as the club manager.

Al Hilal is the only team that would give Al Nassr tough time, any other team are just mere opponents and they will be thrashed easily. Al Nassr previous results have been quite encouraging and consistent, they're ready to take on more competitive and strong opponents. climbing step by step in their league games, grabbing every possible points at their best performance on the pitch. The Knights of Najd are not relenting, they have targets to hits this season, which is getting a hold on the Saudi Pro League title, though it's a competitive race of other elite clubs who are not also backing out, every elite clubs keen on archiving it.
It's a big joke if you say the other teams are weak, you need to check the current table, Al Nassr is only at 6th position. There are 4 teams that's better than Al Nassr, remember these teams are more good in team work rather than Al Nassr which only rely on Ronaldo to score.

Every teams just need to stop Ronaldo and Al Nassr will become a weak team.
at the moment I seem to have become an Al Nassr fan but that does not mean I am too proud of this team because after all this is all because of Mane and Ronaldo who are currently the team mainstays and I not mind if someone might say this because in reality Al Nassr is without Ronaldo and Mane not be this strong. maybe we can look for other examples, such as Al Taawon, which was once considered a weak team and had more original players in the SPL, but in reality this team is able to compete and can be above Al Nassr.
sometimes we as fans are too ambitious to brag about our favorite team, but for me too much is not good because after all, injury surprises always hinder a team and will definitely cause a decline in performance so I not be too proud.
Undoubtedly, Al Nassr are currently in the 6th position of the table and that's because they lost their first two games of the Saudi Pro League matches but how they've improved in their performances after their first two league games of the season has been incredible and should be commended. Sadio Mane's partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo I think has been the driving force behind their current form as the two superstars has scored in each of their last four games.
With their current performances, I think it'll be very to stop them at the moment and if there's any team that's good enough to stop then then it'll definitely be Al Hilal.

Xabi Alonso succeefull in placing Bayern Leverkusen in 1st place in the standing, but it is not certain whether Bayern Leverkusen will maintain this position without reducing points.
Since Xabi Alonso became manager, it seem that Bayern Leverkusen has experienc significant improvements and it will be a new start for Bayern Leverkusen to start this seasons by appearing impressive and maximizing their performance in the matches they will face in the Bundesliga this season.
Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen both performed well in yesterday match and are now competing for the Bundesliga title this seasons.
Yes, both clubs played their best game and Xabi Alonso showed his quality as Leverkusen coach and he seems to have a special strategy to be able to balance Munich's game so that getting a draw is good enough to share points with Munich and not lose full points, but even though they are at the top of the standings That won't make Leverkusen last long because Munich will always overshadow them to win the title this season.

It seems that Leverkusen will be the club that will compete for the title this season compared to Dortmund, but this is still at the start of the season. I hope Leverkusen remains consistent with the way they play and Xabi Alonso must really take advantage of the situation in order to organize all the players in the main squad to be able to Get points in every game.

I have watched every match of Leverkusen this season. This team is playing very well now. So far I can't find any weakness in the team. Xabi Alonso's match strategy is very good. And the players of the squad have been able to adapt themselves well to this strategy. This team is performing well in every match because of the strong bond between the players.

If Leverkusen had lost against Bayern Munich I would have said that this team did not deserve to win the title. But this team did a great performance against Bayern Munich. The match was drawn 2-2. And Leverkusen's performance was very strong. This team deserves to win the title. And I think Leverkusen will be able to perform consistently well this season with the help of Xabi Alonso.
My experience about football had thought me that not all great footballers ends up as great managers and that very few number of former great footballers ends as a great managers and I think Xabi Alonso with how he's transformed the Bayer Leverkusen team is destined to the league of former successful footballers who after their playing days ends up as very successful managers.
After watching Bayer Leverkusen play away at Bayern Munich on Friday night, it became very clear that Xabi Alonso if given all the necessary support he needs will succeed at the club and probably win a major trophy with his boys.

Just because the owner is willing to spend money, that doesn't mean that the club will get better, if you misspend that money then you are going to stay a terrible team. Doesn't mean that you can do wonders without spending neither, Pep spent hundreds of millions of dollars to be this good, but at least he did the right moves while spending it.

So, you can't be like United and Glazers family and just not spend anything you do not have to, they basically spend the bare minimum to keep them competing, but you can't be like Chelsea and Todd which would be spending money way more than you should, on players that do not even deserve that much money, and expect good results neither. The only way to get better is to spend right amount of money to the right players.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United, the club has lost their status as one of the best clubs in Europe despite all the huge expenses by the management of the club that's led by the Glazers. So many managers has been hired and so many has also been fired because of lack of poor results which is why most people believes the club's main problem is from the owners of the club hence the call for the Glazers to leave the club.
I've tried to wrap my head around the popular opinion that the Glazers are the reason behind the club's decline but couldn't come with anything as to why they're considered as the reason behind United's poor performances despite all the huge money they've invested in the club.

There are many things about football competition in Asia that still need better development and maybe a decade from now it won't be enough to make Asia even better in competing in the World Cup, in fact, I think Africa is still much better and has a greater chance of becoming champion. World Cup compared to Asia. More African football players play in Europe or other leagues on other continents, while there are still very few in Asia.
If Asia wants to compete better then the players must have the courage to leave their local league and experience tighter and more difficult competition like in Europe even though they only play in the second division.

However, Japan's victory over Germany is still an achievement and that's because Germany not only played badly but slightly underestimated their opponent. I saw the match and how the German defenders made movements that seemed to tease the Japanese players who they might see were shorter but one or two Japanese attacks were enough to destroy Germany at that time. Maybe that's a wrong assessment but currently Germany is not a strong team for a big competition unless there are big changes they make with their new coach later.
I would say that neither Asia nor Africa has a chance to win the world cup, considering teams from Europe and Latin America still end up being a lot better. Those nations have a football culture that dates back nearly hundred years, which means that they have a lot more chances to improve during that time.

Whereas if we are talking about Africa, that is a bit earlier than Asia, so they did their time and they are getting better, they have been getting better for a while now and I am assuming that the money football brings to them must be a good feeling. I feel like it is going to end up with Asia being the last one out there, it is going to take a while, but with more time, they will get better without a doubt.
I don't know much about the possibility of Asian teams winning the FIFA World Cup in future time but I know that if African countries can manage the footballing talents in Africa and develop them to professional level, they have all it takes to win the FIFA World Cup.
France has played in the final of the world cup for the last two editions and were the champions in the 2018 world cup that was hosted in Russia. The majority number of France national team players are of African decent but chose to represent the France national team because football isn't valued in their respective African countries.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best footballers in the world today. This French striker of PSG has taken himself to a unique height by setting various records at the age of 24. This time he shared a record in the history of world football, which was only held by two of the best football stars in the world, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. On Friday night (September 15), he lost 3-2 against Nice in the French Ligue 1 match at Parc des Princes. PSG. However, Mbappe scored two goals in the match for the Parisians. Mbappe has scored in every game played in the French league this season, except in the opening game of the season. And with this goal, he also shared a record of Ronaldo and Messi. Mbappe has scored or assisted in 15 consecutive League One matches for PSG since April of last season. Before the French star, this record was held only by Ronaldo and Messi.

 I'm not suprised at his performance this season because he's a proven top class player and currently the best in his team, and so far the club have been relying on him for goals which I think is not a bad idea because he's setting more records by scoring in almost all the matches so far and helping the team be successful but I feel they're putting more pressure on him and shouldn't rely on only Mbappe for goals they still got other top quality players in the team and they needs to start finding the net also because it might affect them if Mbappe sustains an injury and is sidelined from a match.
 
 Well apart from that I think Mbappe is a wonderful player and has achieved alot for his age but he won't get a better chance of achieving that which he's after currently due to his current team and it would had been easier if he was in a team that's got a good winning mentality in the Champions League like Realmadrid to help him stand a chance of winning the Ballon D'or in the next 2-3 years time, however Mbappe and Jude Bellingham at Realmadrid this season would had been very Amazing to watch.
In my own opinion, I think Kylian Mbappe is the best player of his age at the moment and he's yet to be have a Balon D'or award to his name because of the club he's currently playing. The way he runs at defenders and dribbles past them like they aren't existing is very rare to find among players of his age at the moment. He is clearly better than any forward footballer in the world at moment apart from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Paris Saint Germaine lost their their French Ligue 1 game against Nice on Friday but Kylian Mbappe still bailed himself with two goals in that game. No wonder Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez desperately wants to bring the France national team captain to Real Madrid next summer

I didn't expect Barcelona to win big in last night's match against Real Betis and previously I thought Real Betis would make things difficult for Barcelona in this match. But it seems that this doesn't apply when Barcelona are at home and with the support of their fans they managed to beat Real Betis with a score of 5-0 without reply. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, who made their debut in last night's match, also appeared impressive by scoring goals for Barcelona's victory.

It seems that the experience of these two players cannot be doubted and they were immediately able to adapt to Xavi's chosen squad. I saw something new in Joao Felix in this match because he played as a right winger and he did his job well. I'm also happy that Lewandowski was finally able to score goals again after previously experiencing a decline in performance. With this victory, it proves that Barcelona will not give up so quickly and they are again challenging Real Madrid for the La Liga title.
Barcelona did appear spectacular in last night's match against Real Betis. In fact, since the first half whistle was blown by the referee, Barcelona immediately dominated the game where Barcelona controlled 67% of the ball and had 9 shots on target against Real Betis. The presence of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo really helped Barcelona's game, especially Joao Cancelo, where in last night's match he really stood out as if he had been in the Barcelona team for a long time because of his very prominent role in building attacks. If you look at Joao Cancelo's style of play, Barcelona fans are reminded of Dani Alves in building attacks from the right wing and being able to enter the opponent's penalty area. Therefore, if performance like last night continues, there is a very big chance that Barcelona will win the La Liga title again.
I'm very surprised to see that someone is admitting to not have expected Barcelona to win yesterday against Real Betis despite the Catalan club's impressive form since the start if the season and coupled with the fact that the match was played in from if the noisy club fans at the Camp Nou.
Joao Felix who didn't have a convincing loan spell at Chelsea last season has started his time at Barcelona with a good performance and after watching his compatriot Joao Cancelo's performance yesterday, I was questioning the decision of Pep Guardiola to let the very versatile player to leave Manchester City. With that flawless performance yesterday, I think Barcelona should be a team to look out for in the UEFA Champions League competition this season.

Napoli played out a 2-2 draw and is never a surprise to me and this has to do with what exactly? Fatigue or because they have the champions league at hand?
In football there's no excuse for failure and they were lucky to get that last goal to level the game up. I don't think I'd see the champions to be in this state of getting a draw at this early stage of the season, that's if they get to play against Inter Milan that's not taking it easy with any opponent at the moment is this kind of play we're going to expect?
I expected the Napoli side to never drop point or get to share point against smaller teams because at this point the competition is getting hotter and if they can't keep up then I don't see them defending the title.
After every international break, most players always does suffer fatigue because of the stress that comes with the very distant travels and and playing football under some weather conditions that aren't common to them and that's why they tend to underperform for their clubs after international breaks.
Napoli's draw in their game against Genoa yesterday wasn't the result many had expected of that match but Genoa who were determined to take all three points from that match did put out a good performance that left the Napoli players looking for a draw.

Bayern Munich has quite a quality striker this season, even Harry Kane has quite a long experience with EPL teams. So that will be the advantage that Bayern Munich has in their meeting in the first leg of the group phase against Manchester United. I think with current strength Bayern Munich is one of the strongest teams in Group A.

Manchester United were not at their best because they were easily beaten by Brighton in front of their supporters. Moreover, several players are injured which will hinder their performance when facing Bayern Munich. I predict Bayern Munich will win this match, especially since the first leg match will be played at the Allianz Arena stadium so Bayern Munich is the favorite in this match.
from assessment, actually we can not just look at the experience of reliable players in the domestic league, but we also have to look at the readiness of these reliable players to welcome this first leg match or we can also see whether Kane has good experience in the UCL, not just in EPL. I know that currently Bayern Munich will be the favorite for everyone, but we must always be careful because surprises often occur in every match and we all know that Man United has had its glory even though it is currently very bad.

however, if you look in depth at the performance of all the players between these two teams, Man United is much worse than Bayern Munich, which has stronger readiness.
Football without doubt is game that's full of surprises and that's why football fans are always left in awe in some unexpected results at the end of games almost everyone had predicted will be won by a certain team.
That being said, we also can't shy away from the fact that a team's form before playing any game does have some physical and psychological effects on them and that's why majority of football faithfuls aren't seeing any chance if Manchester United taking anything away from their game against Bayern Munich when they visit the German champions for their first UEFA Champions League match of the season at the Allianz Arena. United's current form is just too poor when compared to their German counterparts and with the help of Harry Kane who was signed by Bayern in the summer, it'll be even more difficult to stop the host from winning that particular encounter.

I also think Manchester United does not stand a chance against Bayern Munchen as they lost today against Brighton at home in another shameful game in front of their home fans.When they can't beat Brighton at home how can they even remotely think that they can beat Bayern Munchen?I know the ball is round and anything can happen yet I don't think that they have the right psychological attitude to face this big game.

Finally on 19 September we will finally start seeing Champions League matches,it has been so long since that final of Manchester City vs Inter like it seems a decade and not just three months ago.
Manchester United have bad capital for facing UEFA Champion League opening match against Bayern Munich, its seems difficult after losing 1-3 over Brighton Albion they will get good start in first match have strong opponent teams Bayern Munich. Actually will give psychological impact for Manchester United players after losing in Premier League and they don't have good start in domestic league right now have loss 3 of 5 matches.

Finally in this middle week we are watching UEFA Champion League group stage matches, there are have new comer team participant in Champion  League like Union Berlin as Bundesliga participant and Newcastle United from Premier League team, how potential with newcomer team will make surprise in Champion League?
Having lost at home today against a club like Brighton, it'll be very difficult for Manchester United to take anything from their UEFA Champions League game next week.  when they face German champions Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. The result of their game against Brighton is surely gonna affect the mentality of United players which will make it more difficult for them to get anything from that game.
Bayern Munich's new signing Harry Kane will be playing against an English club for the first time since he left Tottenham Hotspur in the summer and will definitely want to make a big impact on that game.
