If I'm not mistaken there is a friendly match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. If that's true with the current squad I'm optimistic that it will be a little different. We know how skillful Lewandowski has when placed in front to dribble towards goal. Real Madrid, too, are still performing optimally and there is no decrease in the slightest. Despite the nature of the friendly match, Barcelona fans will certainly look forward to the performance with this new formation.
Barcelona got some new players. This friendly match will be good enough to test the formation and strategies that Xavi might apply. Combining the current squad is certainly not easy, especially for those who are not familiar with Xavi's training pattern. I hope Barca can show something different. they did pretty well after Xavi came in. and now i think squad is better. Even though it's only a friendly match, I'm sure the fans' enthusiasm is quite high. After some changes to the current barcelona squad, it is appropriate for Xavi to start training by pressing the solidarity between players to be as expected, xavi still has plenty of time to adapt barcelona technique and style of play to the new players and me I think players like Lewandowski, Rapinha and Frank Kessie are likely to be very fast to receptive to Xavi direction because they previously played at a club that relies more on possession and short passes, the presence of players like Rapinha and Lewandowski of course will make Barcelona performance and quality of play will improve and they deserve to be reckoned as contenders for the La Liga title next season besides Madrid. Barcelona's mission in this summer transfer market was fairly successful, the Catalan team could easily recruit their target player, the latest being Lewandowski, who was brought in from Bayern Munich. Lewandowski is Barcelona's fifth transfer of the season after Pablo Torre, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen. In addition, Dembele has also signed a new contract with Barcelona. On the one hand Xavi can smile with their success in bringing in new players, while on the other hand, Barcelona are still struggling to register their players. One of the ways that Barcelona must take in order to register new players is by activating the third economic option, this option is in the form of asset sales which must be carried out so that the finances are balanced. |

It seems that they are upset and protest at the referee with such ridiculous actions, usually a protest is initiated because the referee's decision is considered detrimental to one side. In football matches, referee and assistant mistakes are common. Protests by disillusioned players are not new, but everything has its limits. It's natural to feel disappointed over the referee's decision and leadership, but venting anger like that is not justifiable.
As what happened in the Video it is common in the lower leagues, you don't worry too much about it, the incident will not break the trust in sports betting, isn't the elite league already using VAR technology which can help referees to give fair decisions.

After officially bringing several new players to Camp Nou, Xavi now freely install formations for next season. So far, Barcelona is very synonymous with the 4-3-3 formation, the presence of Lewandowski can give Xavi an option to change the desired formation. At certain times Xavi can use a 4-4-2 formation with Lewandowski and Aubameyang at the forefront. What formation will Xavi use when starting the new season, will he continue to use the classic 4-3-3 formation or will Xavi gamble with a new formation.  Note: Azpilicueta, Kunde, Marcos Alonso and Bernardo Silva's status is still unclear, Barcelona are still in contact with some of these players, maybe some of them will be inaugurated by Barcelona soon. While Depay is still unclear about his future with Barcelona, it is reported that Tottenham are ready to pay 17 million for Depay. |

After struggling for a long time, Barcelona finally got Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. This is a reward for them for their efforts so far.
But on the other hand Frenkie de Jong's move will be a question mark now, whether he will really be sold or kept by Barcelona. If they keep de Jong their power will increase, but they will not get any money. Lol
Barcelona's efforts to get Lewandowski paid off, despite having to go through several rejections from Bayern Munich, finally Barcelona was able to bring their target player to Camp Nou. The presence of Lewandowski in the Barcelona squad further narrows Depay position, Barcelona plans to immediately release him if there is a suitable offer. Previously Xavi also had Aubameyang, since coming from Arsenal, he immediately blended into the Barcelona game. De Jong will stay at Barcelona, at least for next season, Barcelona still needs De Jong, because his role is very important in setting the rhythm of the game. |

Barcelona really made a scene in the transfer market this summer, they looked aggressive in signing new players. Barcelona took advantage of the sale of the remaining 15 percent of television rights to bring classy players to the Camp Nou, with fresh funds in the club account making it very easy for Barcelona to recruit new players. The breakthrough made by Barcelona has paid off, several new players have landed at Camp Nou, with the addition of new players at least they can compete again with Real Madrid as the ruler of La Liga.
Xavi is trying to strengthen Barcelona. Last season in La Liga we only got to see Real Madrid dominate. But Barcelona and Real Madrid will compete for the title next season. Barcelona spent a lot of money. With the help of Lewandowski and Raphinha, Barcelona's attack will become stronger. Next season we will have the chance to enjoy a competitive La Liga. True, last season Real Madrid seemed to be running on their own, while other teams were a few laps behind. Barcelona's movement is very surprising in the transfer market this season, Xavi is really serious about building his team. The arrival of Raphinha and Lewandowski further added to Barcelona's pounding power, the quality of these two players is unquestionable, they are also very dangerous when in the opponent's defense area. We will see the real Barcelona next season, Real Madrid will again face obstacles from their eternal enemies in the fight for the La Liga title. |

Fresh funds obtained from the sale of broadcasting rights and new sponsors can boost the club income, Barcelona dares to move to bring new players to Camp Nou. Barcelona's credibility has returned along with the income earned from both. Even so, Barcelona's transfer efforts have an additional level of difficulty because the economic situation is not yet fully stable. Barcelona is very lucky despite being hit by the economic crisis, because Barcelona still has charm and most of the players want to join Barcelona. The club's big name, the club's great achievements, style of play and several other things make a number of players choose Barcelona even though their financial condition has not recovered. Barcelona still have a lot of debt, they can't pay it off in a short time but the team is optimistic that they can still do their best to keep fighting for the title. These are some of the things that I think keep Barcelona still ahead of other teams, they are a historic team and I'm sure they won't let the club suffer without another title. This season, I will support them after some new players have been brought in, it will be a good thing for them. Big names, achievements and style of play are the main capital of Barcelona, these three factors will always make players want to be part of the Barcelona squad. Raphinha is one example, he turned down an offer from Chelsea just to be able to play with Barcelona. In fact, if he wants to accept Chelsea offer, he will get a salary much greater than what Barcelona is offering. For some reason I think that in this transfer market it is very easy for Barcelona to bring in players even though the club is in financial trouble, they also have to cut players salaries to avoid violations of Fair Play. Barcelona did not take long to bring in Kessie, Chistensen, Raphinha, except for Lewandowski who is still in the final stages of negotiations with Bayern Munich, but he can't wait to officially become a Barcelona player. |

Why the French giants haven't won the Champions League, despite having a star-studded team.
I can answer that with a question: why Manchester City didn't win Champions League although they have one of the best squad? Why Bayern didn't make it so far in CL although dominating Bundesliga by far and having many stars? It isn't a matter of how much good players you have, it is a matter of how coherent is the players in every game, how tactically good is the coach and how much injuries they have in addition to how many mistakes were made especially in case of lack of concentration due to exhaustion. Real Madrid won its game although being behind thanks to the lack of vigilance of their opponents when facing the dangerous offence of RM.. Ancelotti made mistakes but their rivals did worst. That's football after all. One of the most plausible reasons is because the level of League 1 competition is relatively low, so it is difficult for PSG and even very difficult to win the Champions League even though they already have many star players. The low quality of League 1 competition from other top leagues could make it difficult for PSG to win the Champions League trophy, because PSG will face much more difficult opponents in the Champions League competition. The factor of a coach who is inexperienced in the UCL competition can also be another reason, PSG has no difficulty winning the League 1 trophy with any coach, because the caste of the event is very much different from the Champions League. |

Indeed, Barcelona have a good squad at the moment and there is even Miralem Pjanic who has also just returned from a loan spell but unfortunately, with this good squad Barcelona still have huge debts which make their financial situation still not good. But yeah, hopefully with their great squad next season they should at least be able to grab some titles to get a better income from there. But even though Barcelona have a good squad as long as Lewandowski is still not part of Barcelona, then Barcelona will still be difficult to win the Champions League title.
I think that the chances of Barcelona to win the Champions League will not change whether they have Lewandowski or not. But the squard of Barcelona is now very good, young eminent players with the prospect of development, here Barcelona deserves a lot of credit, they managed to keep a strong squad of players, so there are chances to compete for the championship in La Liga. I think its not worth talking about the Champions League, for this you need a squad much stronger. With the condition of the team being afflicted with financial problems, Barcelona is still trying hard to build their squad. The arrival of Kessie, Christensen and Raphinha further enhances Barcelona strength for next season. A new era of Barcelona is starting with Xavi, thanks to Xavi genius, Barcelona were able to finish second last season. Now with the addition of several new players, Barcelona is increasingly confident to win La Liga and Champions League champions next season. |

There is no doubt that Antonio Conte has done an excellent job as Tottenham manager since last season, as he was able to secure a Champions League spot for the team by passing Arsenal near the end of the season. But can Tottenham compete for the Premier League title? Is the team ready to compete for the Premier League title next season? Those are the questions we need to answer. Knowing how Tottenham has played in the past, they always appear to be very strong, feat, and competitive, but most seasons they end up with no trophy, so I hope Conte changes some things because they are not capable of competing for the Premier League title.
These EPL teams are increasingly becoming a team that continues to grow, not to mention in one or two more seasons there will be Newcastle as well who will become a strong team in the EPL. Therefore, although Conte has made changes for the better for Tottenham but the competition in the EPL is a tough competition, so it is difficult to predict about achieving an achievement like winning the title. Because the teams above have already built a team first and they will also have a great squad next season, but even so that doesn't mean Tottenham have lost the chance to win the title. Chances will always be there, however, the competition to achieve it is already very difficult now. Competition in the EPL will get tougher as more strong teams grow and it will be increasingly difficult to achieve the title. We've just seen how the competition in the EPL last season, Manchester City must fight until the last game to secure the EPL trophy. Tottenham are getting better in Conte hands, they will be a dark horse team that can surprise the seeded team. If Tottenham performances continue to be consistent and continue to try to strengthen the team, Tottenham will be included in the list of teams that will be considered for the EPL title. Newcastle is also building its strength to become a new giant in the EPL, sooner or later Newcastle will become like PSG in League 1. With the money Newcastle have, it will make it easier for them to sign star players. |

It's a fantastic offer but will Ronaldo agree to the offer?
Right now Ronaldo is still said to be a supertar in Europe, but maybe you have to sacrifice Saudi Arabian oaks to play there with just that fantastic salary, I think even in the English league staying with Man United would be better, plus Ten Hag now who leads every game if only for money Ronaldo will certainly leave but if it is because of his loyalty to Manchester United he still stays.
This is still a hot new rumor.
Ronaldo is not the type to be ambitious when it comes to money, but an offer from Saudi Arabia could be an alternative simply because he can't decide the end of the season. But as we all know, Ronaldo's real target is to appear in the Champions League once again. If he's going to agree with Saudi Arabia, then I think his career is getting less and less heard on the European scene. The only reason Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United is just to play in the Champions League, he will accept offers from other clubs that can give him the opportunity to play in the UCL. He could still compete in elite competition, moving to Saudi Arabia would be a major downturn in his career, and his name would be dimmed to barely audible if he played there. Oscar had previously experienced the same condition, he was at the peak of his career while still actively playing at Chelsea. After moving to the Chinese League, his name was never heard from again and his career was getting dimmer. |

Barcelona have solved their problem on their right wing. They have signed Dembele and Raphinha both officially. They are waiting for the result of the talks for Frenkie de Jong also. If Manchester United end this deal for the benefit of them then Barcelona will have to find someone to bring into the midfield. Barcelona must be doing their best to keep him at the club and the player doesn't have a big intention to leave too. Manchester United's job is really difficult as a result.
Honestly, I actually agree more if they keep Frankie de Jong, because earlier if they sold him it would create a new gap in their squad. There is still time for them to consider the departure of Frankie de Jong, if they realize that I think they will do the best thing by turning down offers for their midfield player. De Jong departure is only an issue that has not come true, until now De Jong is still part of the Barcelona squad. De Jong has told the media that he is still very happy at Barcelona and the Barcelona management also has no intention of selling De Jong at all. Laporta really supports and gives freedom to Xavi in choosing new players who will be brought to Barcelona, he has also promised Xavi that the transfer of Lewandowski will be realized soon. |

The poll results are pretty much against my prediction i don't why the poll's top Team is Good but still there stand a chance for the 3 of best teams i would like to see Liverpool to be winning this. On the end of the day the best performance will decide how it goes sometimes Luck by chance also decide what is going to hapen next. Fingers crossed lets see
It's too early to guess who will win the Premier League. The top teams are very active in bringing in players in the transfer market except for Manchester United, which looks very slow in the transfer market this time. Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and several other big teams are strengthening their squad by bringing in some new faces in their squad. From my point of view, the Premier League competition this season is very tight. They must fight it out to collect point by point in order to compete for the title at the end of the season. |

In my opinion, there is no benefit for De Jong to accept an offer from United. he will only waste the opportunity to play in the UCL with Barcelona. After all, Xavi was quite successful with Barcelona in his first season as Barcelona coach, if he stays with Barcelona, he has a chance to make history for the Catalan legend by winning the La Liga title. With MU, what can be expected? just a chance to Play with Ronaldo. LOL
If he really wants to leave, I believe he will choose other club.
Without any benefit if Frankie de Jong accepted with Manchester Unitedoffering, how ever without playing on champion league he has chance get full salary than keep staying with Barcelona. Have strong rumors about Frankie de Jong will cut off his salary but left Barcelona and move to Manchester United good thing if eant full salary accepted. But have bad side because Frankie De Jong will not play on champion league next season with Manchester United. I think not have any other club get rumor with de Jong and Manchester United is the only one team serious with him. Looks like Manchester United should forget about De Jong, Barcelona still want De Jong in their squad. Despite the financial crisis that Barcelona is experiencing, does not make them have to sell their most valuable asset, Do Jong is still very happy with Barcelona. The financial crisis facing Barcelona has not stopped the club management from signing players in the transfer market, Barcelona has just confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Leeds for the transfer of Raphinha. Barcelona are also arranging a schedule for the player's medical examination. |

It was not Benzema, it was team work, it was proper management, it was organization and coordination of the entire Los Blanco's team.
Karim Benzema wouldn't have excellent performance without all of those consistency without the fans and the staff's. It's a good memory looking back at how they achieved everything last season.
What's with the new season ? Barcelona wins.
At least Real Madrid are kings and lucky because their key players last season can maintain good fitness, so they can consistently play with discipline. Speaking of competition next season, I personally can still believe that Real Madrid will still be able to be ranked at the top of the La Liga standings. But the competition will probably be tougher, as Barcelona continue to make efforts to build a team with a better squad but that doesn't mean Barcelona have a guarantee of winning the title. Nobody has a guarantee of winning the league title, but the fact that Real will have serious competition in the new season is a fact... It's been an easy season for them, even though they've won more than just the La Liga cup... If Barcelona continue to play like they did at the end of last season, then Real could really have problems... There is no guarantee next season Real Madrid Being able to become the defending champion in La Liga, Real Madrid competitors are very serious about strengthening their team to take over the La Liga title next season. So far, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have always been teams that are able to compete for the La Liga title. After going through difficult times last season, Barcelona and Atletico are making overhauls in the transfer market by bringing in several players to put pressure on Real Madrid. |

It is good to see Pogba back at Juventus. He is really at ''home'' as they are his old team. However we mustn't forget another fact that he has grown from Manchester United team too. Juventus are having him on a free transfer for the second time. Manchester United paid 105 million euros to have him back before. It must be feeling great for Juventus to benefit from this opportunity. Pogba will add a big strength to the team from now on together with Di Maria.
This will be an opportunity for Pogba to rediscover himself who was a bit lost last season. Being at Juventus would have been easier for him because Pogba had been in the Juventus shirt and even made a good contribution. Of course this will be welcomed by Juventus fans upon his return to Serie A. Juventus also need players who can boost their performance, this transfer is mutually beneficial. In essence, the duo of Pogba and Di Maria will be a game that is very much awaited right now, if no one is looking forward to it maybe they don't like Juventus. When these two started with just a rumor and ended up becoming a reality, it was something great because with those rumors at least Juventus really had the confidence to sign them. I personally don't really look at or judge that Pogba has played for Juventus in the past, I only judge that with their current age they will certainly be suitable to play in Serie A. Especially for Juventus fans, they are very enthusiastic about the duet between these two players, while fans of other clubs consider the duet between Pogba and Di Maria as a matter of course. What is extraordinary that Juventus got both at almost the same time, two senior players with a lot of experience were brought in without having to spend a single penny. Now Juventus can focus on other players to strengthen their defense. |

Actually both parties (Barcelona and Lewandowski) both want cooperation between them. But so far from the start the rumors about Barcelona and Lewandowski have not found common ground because the price that Bayern Munich wants can not be met by Barcelona. In fact, they have been rejected three times by Bayern Munich from the proposal they submitted. This is what makes it difficult for us to hear an official announcement regarding this player.
Of course, Munich asked for a fair price for Lewandowski. but if Munich keeps players who want to leave because of discomfort at the club. it could be a loss for Munich itself. when finally Lewandowski's contract runs out and he doesn't want to sign an extension or a new contract, that will make Lewandowski a free transfer. other than that Lewandowski's performance with the team I'm sure will decline. Munich should also consider all of that. Previously Bayern Munich had several times rejected the offer made by Barcelona management to bring Lewandowski to Camp Nou, this time Bayern Munich informed that they were only willing to negotiate with Barcelona for Lewandowski starting from 50 million. With limited funds, Bayern Munich's asking price is too high for a player who has entered the age of 33 years. On the other hand, Bayern Munich deliberately set a high price because they have no intention of selling Lewandowski, but Bayern Munich will lose financially, because next year Lewandowski's contract with Bayern Munich will expire. Now Barcelona management is more focused on other players who are younger than Lewandowski, they have reached an agreement with Leeds for the transfer of Raphinha at a price of 50 million + a bonus of 10 million. |

But Ronaldo has been very clear with his desire to play in Champions League, and I doubt he will be happy playing with United now, and not only that I believe Ronaldo also not happy with the current squad of United, if he stay it's more likely that he will be just like Lukaku on chelsea last season.
It's true, it's just that at times like this Ronaldo can't give clarity about where and what club he wants to join. Chelsea offer was deemed unsuitable for Tuchel's style of play. Juventus and Real Madrid have cut ties, so far there has been no signal from either of them. We certainly want this clarity to be answered immediately from Ronaldo himself before all offers expire and transfer to other players. Ronaldo's future in the Champions League is still wide open. Just need official confirmation ASAP. Ronaldo must lower his standards if he wants to continue playing in the Champions League, so far the club he has been linked with has cut ties with the transfer rumours, the reason is that Ronaldo's salary standard is very high. Now that Chelsea is the only club that still wants to sign Ronaldo, he must immediately take a stand for his future, the best decision lies with him and also his agent, stay at Manchester United or move to Chelsea. |
