Alexis Sanchez is a striker who is quite similar to Lautaro Martinez. Both of them have the same body posture, but maybe with the age of 34 years I feel that the speed is no longer the same as Lautaro Martinez. However, his experience and finishing as a striker cannot be doubted. I agree that the arrival of Alexis Sanchez will strengthen the team and he with a lot of experience he can be a good example for other players. I think that if there are no financial constraints, Inter are quite optimistic that they can sign him.

It looks like Verratti's transfer has become quite complicated if you look at the rumors circulating. I heard a month ago that Verrarti was targeted by a Saudi league team but apparently that didn't last long. But if you look at the latest rumors there is a Qatar team trying to sign him and I don't think it's a bad offer as long as he gets a big salary per season.

We know that since the saudi league made an unreasonable salary offer, all the teams in the middle east started to consider the same thing, so this could be a pretty good deal between the two. However, if Verrati still has the desire to play in Europe, then Galatasaray is not a bad choice because the competition is still quite good there and they have the opportunity to play in the champions league.

Firstly, these are still the first two matches and it is only a matter of time until the time comes for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 again. PSG is building a new squad this season and with a new coach there will certainly be a few obstacles that have prevented them from winning in the previous two matches. I think they will get back to winning ways for sure.

Regarding the match against Lens, actually for this match I didn't expect much and it's possible that PSG will again experience difficulties but it must be admitted that Lens is also not as good as at the start of last season, so I think these two teams are still evenly matched. Well, for Monaco maybe they have dominated quite a bit so far but I think they will be like last season towards the middle of the season, they will probably experience more inconsistency.

It's just a slightly different statistic and seeing this time Bayern Munich as the host certainly has no doubts if you bet on Bayern Munich's victory. Especially now that Bayern Munich have the striker they want and I think Harry Kane will score again in this match. There is no doubt about his capacity and experience as a top European striker and maybe we will at least see Harry Kane score a brace in this match.

This week of training can definitely make it easier for every player to find chemistry and for Harry Kane I think he has understood that a little bit. For Augsburg they must at least also try even though it is a very tough match for them and for bayern munchen they must not let their guard down even though they are the favorites to win.

As I predicted that Copenhagen will win the away first leg against Rakow. Meanwhile, AEK Athens had to accept defeat by the host Royal with the same thin score. However, a very exciting match occurred between Rangers against PSV and I really favored PSV to win but unfortunately the score had to end in a 2-2 draw. Actually, Rangers could have won this match if only Luuk de Jong had not scored a goal in the 80th minute. Even so, for PSV this result was good enough as capital when playing in the second leg later at their home ground.

Uncomfortable news came from Manchester City because coach Pep Guardiola will be absent for the next few matches to undergo back surgery. However, even though Pep Guardiola was unable to attend to provide instructions and strategy to his players, he has fully entrusted his responsibilities to assistant coach Juanma Lillo. Now it is reported that Pep Guardiola is in Barcelona to undergo the operation and it is likely that he will return to handle Manchester City after the international break. Well, for sure we hope for a speedy recovery for Pep Guardiola so that everyone or fans who miss him can see his return to being the leader of Manchester City from the sidelines.

Even occasionally, Bellingham feels very mature when he is on the field and every time his colleagues protest to the referee, he always tries to calm him down. It seems that he is ready to become a Real Madrid legend in more than 5 years, considering that his quality and composure have always been the key to victory for Real Madrid. Regarding the match against Celta Vigo, we don't need to doubt Real Madrid and of course they will continue to try their best to steal points even though this is not an easy match.

In the previous meeting which was also on the road last season, Real Madrid managed to beat Celta Vigo with a score of 1-4 and at that time there was still Karim Benzema who was the main striker in Real Madrid's attack line. This time it will feel different because Real Madrid will not use a pure striker because as usual Bellingham will play a false nine and also as a box to box midfielder in front of the opponent's goal. So I think a 0-2 win at home is good enough for Real Madrid later.

Chelsea are again rumored to be interested in bringing in new players and this time their target is one of Lyon's young talents, namely Bradley Barcola. He is still 20 years old and plays as a right winger and it is certainly hoped that with his arrival he will be able to help Chelsea in dissolving any existing attacks. I watched some of the highlights and it's not wrong for Chelsea to want to recruit him because he is a very complete player in terms of speed, dribbles, and also a very good pass. Often his colleagues at Lyon are spoiled with spoiled assists from him and maybe Pochettino really wants Bradley Barcola to be at Chelsea for that. Even so at this time there is still no offer from Chelsea and let's see what happens next.

I think Allegri will stay at Juventus because he is still a coach who is quite important for the Juventus squad. Moreover, even though Juventus are often harmed by punishment from the Italian football federation, he persists and continues to motivate his players to continue to be confident no matter what.

The rumors about Roberto Mancini's dismissal were true and now the FIGC has appointed a new coach for the Italian national team, namely Luciano Spalletti who was Napoli's coach last season. With Spalleti Napoli won its first Scudetto in decades and therefore that is probably the reason why the FIGC appointed him as Roberto Mancini's replacement. Spalleti will start managing the Italian national team starting September 1.

I watched this match and once again Al-Nassr proved his capacity to move on to the next round with such a dramatic win. Along the way, it must be admitted that Al-Nassr was so overwhelmed when the opponent carried out the attack and this is probably the main point that must be considered, especially since competing in the AFC champions league is much more difficult because you have to fight other strong Asian teams.

When the score was 1-2 I thought it looked like Al-Nassr would not win but that hope arose when the minutes showed 80 and above and that was the starting point for their comeback. Talisca deserved to be MOTM in this match and even though Ronaldo didn't score a single goal, he contributed one assist to Brozovic's goal. Ronaldo has finished with the European champions league and now he will try a new challenge in the Asian champions league.

Welcome Mr. Champions League!

I can hardly believe that finally Pavard will choose Inter as his new team this season. Even though it is true that Manchester United are rumored to be interested in him but if we remember they have never started bidding for Pavard. I think it will be something new for Pavard because he chose Italy as a new place to make history with Inter. We know his career has always been in France and Germany, but this season we will see him in a different competition. Considering that Inzaghi really likes to use a formation with 3 defenders, Pavard's arrival was deemed suitable to fill this position because basically Pavard could fill two almost similar positions, namely CB and RB.

Another European player that Al-Nassr managed to bring in this summer and he is Otavio. He was brought in from Porto for a huge fee of 60 million euros and is contracted until 2026. He plays as an attacking midfielder and this is exactly what Al-Nassr needs to strengthen the depth of his squad this season. But not only that, his arrival added to the list of European players who joined Al-Nassr to 5 players. Now Otavio will be in a team with the national team captain in his country, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe this arrival is also one of the suggestions from Cristiano Ronaldo to sign him. Now that Al-Nassr has 3 midfielders namely Fofana, Brozovic and Otavio this will be a challenge to strengthen the midfield.

I think Torino are just unlucky because they still rely on Antonio Sanabria for goalscoring matters and last season he also scored 12 goals. Even so, if their strikers had difficulty scoring goals in last night's game, the coach should be able to change strategies so that the team can get full points at home. For the next match against Milan, maybe this will be a challenge in itself for Torino because sometimes when they play against a much stronger team they seem to have big motivation to win the match. But indeed it will not be as easy as Torino imagines, moreover they have to face Milan who are directly supported by their fans.

It's a shame that a young talent has to part with Manchester United by mutual agreement and this will be a new chapter in Mason Greenwood's adventures with his new team later. I think after reading Mason Greenwood's statement it is likely that he will not return to Manchester United and he will stay away from the Red Manchester club. I heard rumors that he was going to Serie A, to be more precise to Rome because there Mourinho was quite open about his arrival. Even so, even if there is another team I hope he still gets a place in the European team.

So far, PSG have not fully made a better transition for other lines and they are only too focused on attack positions. So they have to balance many lines in order to meet the club's needs. Now PSG are still unable to get good results with the depth of the squad they have updated this season, moreover, for matters of defense there must be significant improvements as much as possible. But midfield is also important because it will be more creative when there are several experienced players in this position. PSG's new recruits this season are actually good, it's just that maybe it takes more time so they can have a more equal impact on the club.

Playing in front of his supporters did not seem to make Torino very confident about winning the match against Cagliari and a goalless draw ended this match. If you look at the statistics, it can be seen that the match was quite sluggish and there were very few opportunities, making it difficult for one team to excel. In this match, only two yellow cards were produced, so the intensity of the two teams also decreased quite a bit. Even so, this is a pretty good result for Cagliari because they managed to hold Torino to a draw away from home.

Losing Tomiyasu to a red card in last night's match would obviously be quite a loss, but I'm pretty sure Mikel Arteta can handle that. After losing Jurrien Timber, Arsenal's defense is now even more fragile and given the several options they might use Zinchenko, William Lilina, Ben White and Thomas Partey. We know since last week that Arsenal have tried a new strategy by placing Ben White as a center back and for Thomas Partey as a right back. I don't think the strategy is optimal yet but it seems Mikel Arteta has other intentions with some of these options.

Fulham is actually not a strong opponent, moreover they have just been beaten by Brentford and against Arsenal they will have to travel to the Emirates stadium and that will make it even more difficult for them. However Arsenal are still the favorites to win next week's game against Fulham.

I think Al-Hilal's goal in signing Neymar is not only to strengthen the squad but they want to cooperate commercially with Neymar. We know that it can be said that Neymar's influence is third after Ronaldo and Messi in football, therefore they want to continue promoting the saudi league with the star players they have managed to bring in. Neymar will definitely be very happy to be able to help the Saudi league and he will also contribute his experience in Europe for development here. Regarding Neymar's injury, this is nothing new for Neymar and indeed we can only hope for a faster recovery.

Sevilla still lost in their second week and this time they had to bow to the host Alaves with a score of 4-3. Obviously this is a very exciting game and seeing both teams attacking each other created so many goals in this game. Statistically Sevilla are superior in possession but they only managed 2 shots on target and for Alaves they shot more shots on target than Sevilla.

As a result, Alaves was far more productive in this match and Sevilla were lucky enough to get an additional goal from an own goal from Alaves' player. Had wanted to equalize in the final minutes but normal time was not enough to live up to Sevilla's expectations. Well, congrats to Alaves for getting their first win in La Liga this season and for Sevilla at the moment their position is not safe enough.

As the closing match in the first week of Serie A, Milan did a good job after beating hosts Bologna with a score of 0-2. This is what I have felt and also predicted that this time Milan will definitely win the match. I really believe in the depth of Milan's squad now that they have made such a large number of transfers and the results are exactly what they want. Giroud and Pulisic got their names on the scoresheet in the match against Bologna. Pioli seemed to want to emphasize his players to be more objective in making decisions and they did quite well.
