Bernardo Silva has extended his contract with Manchester City and he will stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2026. Of course Pep Guardiola does not want his flagship player to be touched by other teams this summer and with this proves his role for Manchester City is still very important. His experience will still be needed for Manchester City's midfield and at least after Gundogan leaves, Manchester City will not feel the loss of players again. Moreover, KDB who was injured was also very risky during this season and that made Manchester City's midfield coordination also lose some of its strengths. Bernardo Silva is expected to lead his team-mates for this season and he will be an irreplaceable player and hope he doesn't pick up any injuries.

That's right, I agree with you that Real Madrid will dominate other top European teams in the champions league if Mbappe's mega transfer is achieved. But indeed we have to wait about another week to determine this phenomenal transfer even though we know that Ancelotti continues to give a statement that they have closed the player transfer market this season. It was clear that KDB's absence made them unfavorable to occupy the number 1 position as a champion candidate because even now they are having quite a hard time in the domestic league competition even though in the end they still won. But when it comes to the Champions League, all the depth of the team's squad must be calculated thoroughly and that is what I think Real Madrid can outperform these teams. The arrival of Harry Kane has further strengthened the productivity of the goals until the attacks that have been made and that is why they will be respected again in the Champions League this season.

Two different results were achieved by these two teams before and as hosts Nantes should be able to win this game because after all they cannot suffer the same fate as last season. Monaco are coming in confident with two wins and they will be looking for a third win this game. Statistically, the meeting between the two was dominated by a draw and I doubt that this time Monaco will win easily. The thing that has become my focus is the possibility that the two teams will draw with each other scoring goals and that is a pretty reasonable option so far if you want to bet.

It is very clear that the previous defeat against Leverkusen hit the Leipzig squad quite hard and they should target 3 points at home later. Against Stuttgart shouldn't be difficult for Leipzig and they must win if they don't want to be left behind to get a temporary top 4 position. Indeed, last week Stuttgart was very surprising to be able to beat Bochum with a landslide score, even though I only expected they would win narrowly but it seems they have enough strength to do that. Even though Leipzig's squad depth is above Stuttgart, the loss of several key players who left in the transfer market this season is worth considering and maybe they won't be as productive as last season with the current squad. But I will remain optimistic that this time Leipzig will win convincingly.

This week's opening match pitted Frosinone against Atalanta and we can see that Atalanta are the favorites away from home. Last week Frosinone had to acknowledge the greatness of last season's Scudetto winner, namely Napoli and they will still try to get their first win in this match. As for Atalanta, they want to continue their winning trend after beating Sasuolo last week. If you look at the H2H these two teams last met in 2019 and at that time Atalanta won a landslide victory. Even though it's been a few years it doesn't seem like anything has changed and I'm pretty sure Atalanta will win this game again. The odds offered by the dealer are also very appropriate for Atalanta's win @1.67, so there's no need to hesitate to bet.

Even though the odds from the dealer are very favorable for Chelsea to be the winner, I doubt that Chelsea can do it. I know this is Chelsea's home match, but seeing the two fairly poor results achieved by them will certainly still make people hesitate when they want to bet. But what is clear is that Chelsea should have won this match because as one of the big EPL teams they cannot continue to get minor results.

What's more, they brought in a lot of players at fantastic prices so it's only natural that they have good results. Pochettino has to come up with a strategy that his players can do well and it was actually a very easy game against newly promoted Luton Town, but sometimes things that shouldn't happen happen instead. I think just a narrow victory is enough to raise the mentality of the Chelsea players in the next match and if they keep losing this match, of course it will be no different from last season.

Actually, if I wanted to do a multibet in that match, I would skip the Al-Ettifaq match because the depth of the European players' squad is still far behind from the other three teams. But I also don't think that Al-Ettifaq will end in a draw against Al-Khaleej and Steven Gerrard's squad should have won this match. I'm sorry about the result of your bet, but you can't give up because there will still be another exciting match. Even though I didn't bet on all the matches yesterday, when I see Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal I feel happy too because they are increasingly consistent with big wins.

In the midst of his uncertain future for this season, now Roma are trying to bring in Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. We know that since Inter started withdrawing from making Lukaku permanent, his future at Chelsea also no longer exists and previously it was rumored that Juventus wanted to recruit him but because of the rejection from the Bianconeri fans this transfer was cancelled. If I'm not mistaken, Chelsea wants to transfer Lukaku with various options available from a loan plus an obligation or straight loan plus a meaningful fee and Chelsea also doesn't need a permanent agreement for this transfer. If we look at it, it's possible that Chelsea also don't want Lukaku in their squad and instead he just sits quietly at Chelsea and no team is interested in buying him permanently. So they made such a transfer option so that Lukaku could at least keep making money for the club in the interim.

Even though Celta Vigo can score goals, the possibility is only 1 to 2 goals and the rest Real Madrid will still win this match. We know Ancelotti's composition without the number 9 player in his squad, but he can still give a definite win every week. Of course we will still see the role of Bellingham who will be a false nine in this match and Camavinga, Tchouameni, Valverde will still be the foundation to strengthen the midfield. Ancelotti has always believed in pairing Vini and Rodrygo in the attack line so that he will be more mature in various matches or competitions later. It's just that I'm still curious about when Ancelotti will be able to provide proper minutes for Joselu, considering last season he was the third top scorer in La Liga and that's very unfortunate.

Az Alkmaar totally ruined my multibet and they only drew against a team they should have beaten. From a total of 9 shots on target, they were only able to score 1 goal and this is a pretty bad result for Az Alkmaar who is playing at home. But it must be admitted that each goalkeeper made so many saves that it was quite difficult for both of them to score additional goals. Brann seems to have quite the advantage later in the second leg because they have full capital when playing in front of their fans. Well, however, the results of this bet were quite sad for me and there was one more victory left but I failed to get it.

Franck Kessie was the winning hero for Al-Ahli in this game and scored a dramatic goal in 90 +6 minutes. The match was clearly dominated by Al-Ahli but they seemed to have difficulty scoring goals from the first half and Al-Akhdoud also did not want his opponent to attack freely towards his goal. But during normal time, Al-Ahli only took 1 shot on target and that was the only goal scored. I think the score results are like the previous match which was always superior by 2 to 3 goals. However, this victory was enough for Al-Ahli to return to competing at the top of the Saudi league and now they are in 2nd place in the standings and only goal difference from Al-Ittihad.

Yesterday we discussed the possibility of Alexis Sanchez's transfer to Inter and today Fabrizio Romano has reported that the agreement has been reached and now it's just a matter of waiting for the results of the medical tests then Alexis Sanchez will be introduced as a new player for Inter. Alexis Sanchez was brought in as a free agent and this will be nostalgic for him because back in 2020 he had also defended Inter on loan from Manchester United. After getting Marko Arnautovic, now Inter have also got Alexis Sanchez and it is unexpected that Inter have many striker options this season.

Even though this is Chelsea's home game, as long as they are still struggling like the previous game then the same result could happen and they will still not get any points. Pochettino has to stress everything out for his players ahead of tomorrow's match against Luton Town and with such a high-priced signing this season it should be Chelsea this time that they can pick up their first win. But if I bet on this match I'm a little hesitant to do it and maybe I'll pass the bet for this match and it's better to see Chelsea's development first to solidify the bet later.

Finally, it was Mo Salah's turn to get an offer from the Saudi league team and of course Liverpool are currently very worried that this key player will leave this season. However, Mo Salah's consistency and contribution are still needed by Liverpool to go through all competitions this season. Liverpool fans must be quite annoyed about this offer from Al-Ittihad and they don't want their favorite player at their favorite club to leave after Fabinho and Henderson. But I think as long as Mo Salah refuses his offer, he will stay at Liverpool but if the offer made by Al-Ittihad is much more tempting, then I think it's only a matter of time for Fabrizio Romano to announce his move.

I really don't understand what happened to Fiorentina, they even lost to a team far below them. Even though this is an away game, at least Fiorentina must win even if only by a thin score. But what happened was just the opposite, Rapid Wien, who got a goal from the penalty spot, managed to maintain this advantage until the match was over. It seems that Fiorentina couldn't do anything either, after the goal Rapid Wien just wanted to survive and they believed that Fiorentina would not be able to equalize this narrow advantage.

Maybe Lunin lacks experience but at least Ancelotti has to give him a chance and I think the decision will be to rotate the two goalkeepers. Kepa is an experienced goalkeeper and maybe he will start for the La Liga and Champions League competitions, while Lunin can start for the Copa Del Rey competition. I think that's fair enough because after all Ancelotti doesn't want to hurt his players and when Courtois recovers from injury both keepers will return to the bench.

---

Anyway, Ancelotti has confirmed that Kepa will start tomorrow's match against Celta Vigo and at least this proves that the two goalkeepers are equally good in all competitions and Ancelotti will still rotate these two keepers in the future.

Some of today's matches brought together some of the top Saudi league clubs from Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. All three must fight against each other to continue to fight for a place at the top of the standings. Of course they have to beat their opponent to get full additional points and seeing the list of opponents they are not too strong either. I think these three teams will both pocket an additional 3 points and they have to be confident to be able to win this game. But even though the three teams are the favorites to win, they can't be careless because after all, anything can still happen as long as they don't make a fatal mistake.

Indeed, at this time Lens is also not as good as we thought and they had quite a hard time winning in the previous match. I think PSG must put Kylian Mbappe as a starter so that their victory is more guaranteed than depending on other players who have just joined PSG this season. If Luis Enrique persists with his previous thoughts I don't think it will be achieved. Lens must also try to win because in this match when they win and get 3 points, they will indirectly be superior to PSG for the title race this season.

I've been following these transfer rumours and it seems true that this happened quite quickly for Daniel Peretz to join Bayern Munich. It seems that Bayern Munich's talent scouts have found hidden talents in other leagues and it is hoped that his arrival will allow Bayern Munich to have more optimal options for this season. Kepa was indeed on Bayern Munich's radar, but it seems that Bayern Munich's charm is not that attractive to Kepa to join. That's a very small fee for a goalkeeper and if he can compete with the other goalkeepers at Bayern Munich and establish his position as a starter it will also increase his market value one day.

Maccabi Haifa against Young Boys ended goalless and maybe this was the most boring match among the others last night. Maccabi Haifa who was favored to win but instead appeared disappointing in front of his fans. Perhaps what stood out the most in this match was the sheer number of yellow cards received by players from the two clubs. Meanwhile, the other match between Braga and Panathinaikos was at least quite exciting, although from the start I suspected that Braga would win this match. Panathinaikos had caught up in the injury time minute but the 2 goal advantage from Braga was unable to catch up to Panathinaikos, so the first leg victory belonged to Braga.

But from all of that, maybe Molde's match against Galatasaray was the most exciting and even the hosts took the lead in the early minutes. But not long ago Galatasaray outperformed the goal before halftime. Molde had hope in the second half and they managed to even the score 2-2, but towards the end of the match came a dramatic victory for the guest Galatasaray who scored his 3rd goal and at the same time closed the victory for them in this first leg away.
