Didn't we know from the start that it was doubtful that Real Madrid would find it difficult to win because they lost their main goalkeeper who was injured before the competition started? After that, it was even the turn of one of their defenders to suffer an injury and of course I already knew that before you explained all this. It has become a hot topic of discussion because Real Madrid does not have a number 9 striker this season, but in fact who has been the key to Real Madrid's victory from the first match until now? isn't it all because of Bellingham? Well, even though it seems like you are pushing me into a corner, I have always followed Real Madrid's developments and am I wrong to talk about the quality of Jude Bellingham who has always appeared consistently in every match so far?

Anyway, it's true that Vini is injured, but I don't agree with your statement that Joselu didn't contribute much because he wasn't Ancelotti's starting choice for the season and if Vini wasn't injured, how could we have seen Joselu start last week's match? he even scored his first goal for Real Madrid in the match against Getafe and sparked the enthusiasm of his colleagues to make a comeback. For Rodrygo, it's true that he doesn't appear very consistent, he often wastes opportunities that can actually be put to good use if he wants to give assists to his colleagues.

Is it possible that the departure of several players this summer has made Lyon vulnerable on all fronts? If you refer to transfermarkt data, there are indeed several players who have left and actually I don't know whether these players were previously key players or not. For example, Bradley Barcola to PSG, Castello Lukeba to Leipzig, or Romain Faivre to Bournemouth and if you look at each player's position, they are certainly quite influential in the squad.

However, there were other things that also influenced Lyon's failure, such as the absence of Dejan Lovren who was still injured and also the absence of their top scorer last season, Alexandre Lacazette, who received a red card in the previous match against Montpellier. But if you look at the situation this week, it is likely that Alexandre Lacazette has been free from the red card penalty and can strengthen Lyon again in attack.

That's right, especially within the club there are still a number of things that need to be fixed and while waiting for all of that to be finished, Juventus must stay focused on the main competition. It is true that this season Juventus only works in Serie A and they are not tied to any European competition. But we definitely hope they can get their Champions League zone back for next season.

Regarding the results of the match, I followed suit and apparently Vlahovic was unlucky in executing the penalty. However, thanks to Chiesa who managed to widen Juventus' lead in the 82nd minute, La Vecchia Signora became even more confident in their victory.

I also thought like you, even though at that time Benfica was unstoppable and always won big, but again, a team like Inter is an opponent that has history in this competition. Goncalo Ramos is leaving this season, which makes me think that it is possible that Benfica will have difficulty gaining a position to qualify for Group D and we can see that Benfica's match results in the domestic league are also less than optimal. I mean, usually Benfica always wins with a landslide score over their opponents, but now they have quite a hard time doing that and often only achieve narrow wins. However, I actually still hope that Benfica can be like last season and as you said, this is only temporary speculation and apart from that, all developments between these teams will continue.

The goal scored by Jude Bellingham against Getafe last week means that his name is now level with Cristiano Ronaldo as the scorer of 5 goals in 4 matches for Real Madrid. This seemingly impossible feat has now been achieved by this young Englishman and everyone is still amazed by his performances every week for Real Madrid this season. What he has done so far has exceeded everyone's expectations and he will definitely never stop contributing. I'm still curious what other records he will break as a Real Madrid player in the near future and Jude Bellingham is probably the single best signing for this summer.

Unlike last season when Empoli managed to embarrass Juventus at home and now it seems Juventus have succeeded in getting revenge with a 0-2 win away from home last night. Juventus are getting more confident every week and even though last week they only drew against Bologna, at least they can get back to winning ways after beating Empoli. We can see that now Juventus are in 3rd position and of course they have no doubts at all being competitors to win the Scudetto this season. Juventus is only 2 points away from the Milan duo who currently both have 9 points in the standings.

Lille also achieved quite a good victory by beating Montpellier. Even though last week was such a bad result for Lille after being humiliated by Lorient with a score of 4-1. Now Lille is proving its renaissance and does not want to be slumped any longer by the previous defeat. Meanwhile for Montpellier this is a bad result because last week they also just lost to Reims. This result made Montpellier stay in 14th position again and Lille managed to move up to 6th position.

In another match, Nice managed to achieve its first win of the season by beating Strasbourg with a score of 2-0. Previously, we knew that Nice was also not optimal because they had 3 draws in their last 3 matches. This meant they could only collect 3 points from the previous 3 matches and with this first win now Nice has achieved a total of 6 points. Strasbourg, which has a fairly consistent record, had to stop against Nice in this match and they did not move from their position.

I think this result will be temporary for Frankfurt and however they are one of the good teams in the bundesliga. Rather than saying they are defending, they are more precisely not ready to go into this season by losing Kolo Muani and even after the striker left, Frankfurt does not yet have a suitable replacement. That is a failure that Frankfurt must correct and looking at the current attacking options are not that good either.

Talking about Koln, this team is only at the bottom of the Bundesliga and in these 3 matches alone they have seen 2 defeats and 1 draw against Frankfurt. So, even though they have a pretty good defense so far, if on average they can only score 1 goal in each match, it will be easier for the opposing team to equalize or turn things around.

It's true that even though statistically Barcelona are in control by as much as 70%, in fact they are quite profitable by getting the penalty. As for other things such as a late attack line, it is also one of the factors that makes Barcelona less sharp. The current Lewandowski is much different from before and I think he has decreased in form, could his current age be one of the reasons he is less productive as an experienced striker? What is clear is that Barcelona don't have to rely on Lewandowski and they must immediately find a way from the deadlock to be able to score more goals.

Kyle Walker has officially signed a contract extension with Manchester City until 2026. It was rumored to have joined Bayern Munich but that didn't continue and Kyle Walker changed his mind by staying at Manchester City. Even though there is an opportunity to try a new challenge outside England, Kyle Walker has made the right decision and at least he can still contribute to Manchester City. Currently Kyle Walker is 33 years old and with the duration of the contract he will stay at Manchester City until he is 35 and even if after that he wants to retire or leave, he will fully become a living legend for Manchester City.

I'm just curious because quite a lot of people are discussing the VAR result and if it was offside then it was the right decision to annul the goal. I do not side with any team and all decisions remain in the hands of the referee. It seems like you are too hasty to define other people's opinions and when everything is clear there should be no need for too serious a debate. Well, whatever it is, Arsenal has done their job well and for Manchester United they have to try even harder so they can win the next match.

Yannick Carrasco has arrived in Saudi Arabia and will soon be introduced as a new Al-Shabab player. It seems that the negotiations between Al-Shabab and Atletico Madrid are going quite smoothly and this is the first European signing for Al-Shabab this season. In the near future Yannick Carrasco will also undergo a medical test before the official announcement and his contract will last 3 years. The costs incurred by Al-Shabab were also not too expensive, around 15 million euros for Atletico Madrid. After previously having an adventure in the Chinese league, now a new adventure awaits Yannick Carrasco in the Saudi league which has become a trend for other European players.

Lyon is still getting very bad results in the fourth week and this time PSG is their nightmare in the home game. From the first minute Lyon was heavily attacked by PSG and they conceded 4 goals in the first half. This advantage is very impossible for Lyon to catch up and PSG is certain to win with this landslide score. Lyon was only able to shorten the defeat with 1 goal which they scored at the end of the match. Very very bad results put Lyon at the bottom of the standings and PSG are so confident at the top and only two points away from Monaco.

The two teams that competed in the quarter-finals last season, namely Benfica and Inter, will be in group D for this season's Champions League. Both will be accompanied by Salzburg and Real Sociedad, who are also newcomers this season. If we look at the competition in Group D, it is very likely that Inter will win the group and for the runners up it will be a battle for the other 3 teams. I'm not underestimating Benfica but Real Sociedad and Salzburg were also quite competent in domestic league competition last season so anything can still happen. It seems that group D will also be quite a surprising group and in my opinion the ones who will qualify for the next round are Inter and Real Sociedad.

To be honest I didn't watch the big game yesterday and seeing the final score 3-1 for Arsenal to win at home it was a very good result for the Gunners. It seems that this time Manchester United were not lucky enough because the last 2 goals scored by Arsenal were all in injury time. I also don't know for sure whether the VAR decision for the goal scored by Garnacho was correct or not because after that incident it was Arsenal who managed to turn things around. Last week Arsenal only won a draw against Fulham and this time they were able to get full points back. For Manchester United it seems like a pretty bad start because out of 4 matches they won 2x and lost 2x.

Having excelled beforehand did not make Barcelona safe and the hosts were finally able to equalize. Barcelona almost got a draw if they didn't get a penalty at the end of the match which made the score 1-2 in favor of Barcelona. Xavi's troops had quite a difficult time playing in the away match against Osasuna and they repeatedly had opportunities but failed to convert them into goals. But this victory must be paid for by an injury received by Gavi who will likely be absent in the next match. I think Xavi has to provide intense training to his players because they will have quite a long time with the international break.

Frankfurt when playing at home against Koln also had not good results and they only won a 1-1 draw. Even Frankfurt almost lost if Nkounkou did not score in the final minutes of the game. As the visiting team, Koln played quite well and they were able to make things difficult for the hosts. This result made Frankfurt fail to get to the top of the standings and they had to settle for being in 10th position. I don't know what made it so difficult for Frankfurt to win because last week they also drew against Mainz. Especially now without Kolo Muani in the striker position, it will definitely add to the difficulties for Frankfurt to score goals against their opponents.

That's right, because I also follow his social media accounts so I know how his training has progressed so far with his status without a club and that once again provides a good example that even though previously there were no offers for him. However, he still tries to keep his body optimal in his old age. It seems true that his decision to return to Laliga will bring him closer to his family and as reported by Fabrizio Romano now Sergio Ramos has agreed a verbal agreement with Sevilla on a short-term contract. Previously we also knew that Sevilla was his former club and Sergio Ramos finally returned to his youth club.

Girona's late win meant they managed to secure full points at home against Las Palmas. I had thought this match would end in a draw without any goals because judging by the statistics the two teams were quite even. Even Las Palmas has slightly better ball possession than Girona. But the only goal that was scored came in the 88th minute and Cristian Portu saved Girona from a draw. Now Girona is increasingly confident in 2nd place in the standings and is only 2 points behind Real Madrid.

But the attack line and defense line must be balanced so that victory can be achieved and Lens doesn't have that at the moment. They have scored few goals and conceded more and that is definitely the worst thing ever. Lens are not the same as last season, who were much more dominant in every match and now they have become like a weak team at the bottom of the standings. I think if these results continue then finishing in the top 4 of the standings is very impossible for Lens and they must immediately look for weaknesses in their squad.
