Osimhen welcomed the new season with goals and showed his quality again. Real Madrid are waiting for Mbappé. This is very clear. That's why Real Madrid didn't make an effort for Osimhen.

However, I think teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain should have made a move to sign him. Especially Chelsea spent a lot of money on transfers last season and if they had signed Osimhen, things could have been different for them. I think Osimhen should have been one of the most talked about names in this transfer window but he was not talked about as much as Kane and Mbappe.
Signing a guy that's worth a half of billion dollar which is so crazy. Chelsea does spend a lot of money for nothing as the club keeps suffering the bad result in EPL.
I don't even think the big club was interesting to waste a lot of money like that. The football is crazy right now. The price of players are very expensive.
One thing I've noticed currently about football is that it's not the amount of money a club spend to bring in quality  players,  if the players fail to understand themselves on the pitch them perform poorly the amount of money spent would be a waste of funds, it's not about signing the most talented or expensive players but signing the right players that would suit the club's style of play, not players that would come into a club and worsten their performance.
 After spending almost a billion from last season to now, they're supposed to start having good performance, they've got young talented players all they need is a good pattern and better understanding among themselves, cause there where some times  when they couldn’t read the game well and kept making mistakes against Westham however instead of crowding the squad with multiple midfielders i think what they really need is a good proven striker

it seems that everyone loves slot games and is the most loved micro game. I am also the same, playing slot games because bets can be set very cheaply, but generate quite a large profit. people will start to get addicted to slot games as they just have to wait to see the slots spin. But self-control is also needed, placing bets wisely, not too big so that the money doesn't run out quickly and there are still many opportunities to win.
Yeah i think so as well, majority of gamblers love slot games because they feel it's very easy for them to win from it and some would say chances of winning from a slot game is very high compared to other areas of gambling activities where you'll nead a good strategy or being very familiar with the particular sports before you could stand a chance of winning them, I've tried slots several and i won most times from it compared to sports betting or other Micro games as said by the OP.
 Well, talking about being patient all gambling activities requires one to have a good self control because you might be carried away by the winnings from slot and decide to stake very high with your profit which is very risky, the thing is that slot game might give good chances of winning but people that are reckless in it still suffer huge loses

Al nassr has been winning its first trophy this season. I expect a better result to come soon. The club is trying even harder in by recruiting the new midfielder from porto. Nassr is still having so many weaks to show good performance.
It's unacceptable if al nassr will still lose the points till the club has been facing at least five matches as the club will be missing a lot of points. People are starting mocking ronaldo at this moment.
Anyone was always putting their focus on the ronaldo that has always become the centre of the club in winning the match against another club. It's such a horrible performance from al nassr.
The club can't keep up with this awful performance. It will be on trouble if nassr keeps miss the points.
After defeating Al-Hilal in a final they've failed to keep up with such form and have had awful performance in their last match, i think the team looks strong but not very strong enough to challenge for the league title, some areas still need to be balanced and that's why they're still doing everything possible to strengthen the weak areas of the squad.
 Their rivals Al-Hilal have got better  squad and also included a very threatening striker Mitrovic to the likes of other top class players like Neymar, Nevez etc. That's the club the should be scared of more this season and try to do anything possible to make sure they strengthen their squad to challenge them for the title this season.

It is normal to see a club with numerous number off new players struggle in the beginning of the season until when the players has spent enough time together and understand the movement of their team players better which will help them to know how to play along with them and that i think is the reason behind Paris Saint Germaine's poor start to the season.
I can't even call that as a normal. PSG purchased costly players, but some are still struggling, and there could be a problem causing this. It's not a normal thing if PSG will keep lose more and more points while it's very important. The player must meet how much cost to buy them.
It's unacceptable result to see PSG is always getting more and more horrible result. As PSG was only facing weak team but this club shows even worst performance compared with weak club like toulouse.

The club is struggling in their domestic league, but will still compete against skilled teams in UCL. How is this possible?.
It sounds non sense to put PSG as one of the strong candidate if the club keeps perform shit like this. Glad i was never picking this garbage team since the first week. Two points from two matches. It's a good result by PSG.
I feel your pains, it's annoying for Teams not playing up to their expectations and it's so funny how a big and wealthy club like PSG would be playing below expectations and finding it quite difficult to get better performance against big teams, the big question is, if they're starting the ligue this way, how would they perform against bigger clubs in the Champions league? That's one trophy they're still yet to achieve and their squad dont even look ready for the ligue talk more of winning the Champions League.
 If not for Mbappe's penalty kick that means they would have probably lost the match, Dembele didn't have an impressive debut and I'm not impressed witu his style of play, i think he might not do well in the team and they made a mistake to sign another player like Neymar that's injury prone, they should be lucky Mbappe didn't move away from the club cause he's the only reliable player for them currently.

A bad and unlucky start for Roma at the same time. Because they were much better side in the match. They didn't let their opponent have many goal attempts either. However Salernitana still managed to turn their a few goal attempts into 2 goals. It was really unbelievable. Otherwise Roma didn't play badly in my opinion.
Roma shall stop dreaming to compete in getting scudetto with the current squad. What an awful performance from roma. it was also playing at home. Salernitana has been showing surprise if it can't be beaten easily by roma.
Jose mourinho was dreaming of having a better squad but since roma was a poor club and it will not happen. The lucky thing for roma to have mourinho which is thinking very hard in making the team even better with small amounts of money.


Dybala was absent due to being suspended of yellow cards. But was Belotti's evening on one hand. Because he started the season by scoring 2 goals already. You know that he scored 0 goals in the Serie A in the previous season despite being a part of the majority of the matches. If he moves on consistently together with Dybala they can be really deadly.
Scoring two goals doesn't matter. A lot of the club keep losing full points. Salernitana was also able scoring two points after belotti made it first. The horrible performance from as roma. No chance for this club to compete for sceudetto. Im feeling so doubt about that.
The better thing for roma only focusing to win europa league rather than competing for top spots or scudetto.

You're right because it would be quite difficult for Roma to dominate this season without a challenge from the likes of Napoli, Juventus, Intermilan and Acmilan, this other clubs are more composed and far better than them even though they've got Mourinho as their coach i don't think they'll stand a chance above any of the listed players, and they should focus more of winning the europa league instead of trying to challenge for the Serie A title.
 Their performance against Salernitana was poor and below expectations, i expected a win from the and they allow their opponents to score 2 goals and drew the match, well I believe mourinho got plans to improve the team to perform better this one thing im sure of is that his target would be on winning the Europa troopy

It was not in vain that Bayern Munich struggled for a long time to recruit Harry Kane from Tottenham because Harry Kane was able to make a big contribution in his first match with Bayern Munich. Even Bayern Munich spent a lot of money to recruit Harry Kane but this seemed to have paid off after his slick performance when Bayern Munich beat Bremen.

For this reason, Bayern Munich have managed to improve the gaps in their front line because last season they did not have regular strikers who were diligent in scoring goals. Bayern is also equipped with a defense that is quite strong because there are Kim Min Jae and De Ligt guarding their defense. Besides that, we are still waiting for the return of Manuel Neuer to the Bayern Munich squad because he is one of the best goalkeepers in Bayern Munich.
Long before Bayern Munich finally signed Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur I've always reiterated that if they finally sign the England national team captain, it'll be match made in heaven.
Bayern Munich has good attacking wingers that can dribble past defenders and send the ball in to the penalty box but has lacked a complete striker who'll be converting the chances that are created from the midfield and wingers since Robert Lewandowski left the club. So with Harry Kane's arrival, the problem of finding a good finisher was already solved for the German champions.
Yeah to be frank, they've got the perfect replacement for Lewandowski, Harry Kane is a player that could assure a club up to 30 goals or more in a season and has began with their opening match  against whether Bremen, i noticed some people saying Bayern were going to have a tough time this season due to their lose against Leipzig, but i Kept imagining how a squad with such great depth would perform poorly this season due to a loss in a cup final.
 They've got the quality, the defence, the creativity, the speed and currently the strike force to compete with any big team this season and one thing im sure of is that even if they don't win the Champions League trophy they'll compete well and the top contenders of the trophy Bayern Munich should be thankful to Daniel Levy for finally letting Kane move into their squad.

Pick your score predicting for last match Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

This game leaves little room for speculation. Crystal Palace are a talented team who ended well last season. They began the new season with a victory over Sheffield United. Arsenal is not Sheffield, and this is a warning sign that they will not be able to win them easy. Arsenal also won their first encounter against Nottingham Forest, but even though Crystal Palace is a better team than Nottingham Forest, Arsenal will have no trouble beating them tomorrow. Arsenal has won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five meetings. Arsenal has a better head-to-head record than them and hence has a better chance of winning the match.
They might be talented but the gunners got a better squad and more talented players, sheffield united they won is just a newly promoted team from the Championship league so Crystal Palace stand a better chance of beating them because they're still finding it difficult adapting to the new premier league competition, but talking about Arsenal a more improved Epl team with multiple talents and a better coach, winning them won't come easy therefore i think Arsenal are goimg to beat them tomorrow.
 All odds are in favour of Arsenal to beat Palace and the least they could do tomorrow is making their defence stronger and uneasy for Arsenal to penetrate which could lead to a draw, but we all know Arsenal has sharp wingers that are skillful in both flanks and won't find it difficult penetrating the Crystal Palace defence line tomorrow.

I almost laid money on England in this one, thanking myself now for laying off.  Didn't get to watch the game but it seemed like a tight match all the way through.  Great touny for Spain and heartbreak for England. 

I also almost bet on England winning the final, but as I was very doubtful I thought it best not to bet, I even commented in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455617.msg62723059#msg62723059
It's a good thing I didn't or I would have lost another bet  Cheesy

I'm going to make a comment about the match, I don't know if you guys agree or not, the first half was good, but in the second half the game stopped many times, and the Spanish team took forever to take free-kicks, throw-ins, goal kicks etc. It's not the kind of final the tournament deserved, because in general there were some great games, but this final left something to be desired in that respect
In fact, in both the men's and women's matches, this attitude of taking too long do to things when you're winning is very bad

England also failed to show at any point the good soccer they had been playing during the competition, it was the worst match they had played
Lol I've refused to post on this thread for days now because my most preferred team to win the tournament lost the finals to Spain, i almost bet on them as well i was so sure they'll win even when i knew that Spanish Women where so dangerous and make it tough for them, thankgoodness i had a change of mind and decided not to bet on the finals, it would had been more painful watching them lose and also  knowing my stake is at risk.
 Anyways the Spanish Women deserved the trophy to be honest they were the most outstanding team since the beginning of the tournament and have been so tough in all matches at a point i enjoyed watching their game because i felt I was watching the men's football, im suprised to see Women are beginning to play good and enjoyable football, Congratulations to the Spanish Women on their victory in the FIFA Women's World Cup Final.

Aston Villa vs Everton ,Aston Villa lead by 2 goals before the end of the first half. Everton may not win today's match as they still need to attack a lot to equalize the game which is not possible. Aston Villa attacked enough today that they are still in contention for victory. In today's match, if Everton can improve their game in the second half, they can definitely bring the match time and if they can perform well, they can draw the match. If Everton can't attack well in the second half, there is certainly the possibility of conceding more goals, and Aston Villa have the best chance of winning.
Aston Villa has extended the lead to 4 goals against the visiting Everton. McGinn scored the first goal before Douglas Luiz doubled the lead by scoring from the spot followed by Bailey and Duran's goal to make it 4 goals to nil.
Everton has been the second best team in the second best team in the match and deserves nothing but what they're currently getting.
 
I think what a good coach  should do after having a terrible defeat is to make corrections and that's what the Aston Villa Unai Emery has done to his team after being beaten disgracefully by Newcastle in the 1st match of the season, lol and of course a 5-1 defeat was enough to boost their morale and they in return decided to destroy Everton with goals today, the Unai Emery team was so outstanding today and played like they didn't get any defeat last week of which if they've played this way against Newcastle maybe they would had won or even get 1point fron the match.
 Looking at Everton the club needs to start getting good performances else they could be relegated this season, their performance last season wasn't all good as well and i expected a change this season but so far it's been defeat upon defeat and they'll be facing Wolves who are also hungry to get their 1st win during the weekend on Saturday, anyways though they'll be playing at home but i think it's a draw match.

It does surprise me because I never thought that Pavard is a player with severe weaknesses and he has been quite stable whenever he played. I am not sure but maybe anyone here has a more differentiated opinion on him. He also has some offensive qualities, which doesn't happen very often, but did pay off in the past for Bayern Munich as well as in the national team. Mazraoui is young, but I think that he is still quite insecure and when there is a lot of space for him that he could make use of, more often than not does he make the wrong decision. It can almost be felt how he hesitates and isn't sure what pass to go for or what shot to take. Pavard is quite solid as a defender.
Previously Bayern Munchen had rejected an offer from Inter Milan of 30 Million Euros, but the latest news from Benjamin Pavard said that he had reached an oral agreement with Inter Milan. It could be that Inter has agreed to the amount of funds desired by Bayern management so that an agreement has been reached. But before an official statement from the two clubs was made, this was still just a rumour.

I thought Pavard would join Man United, but the red devils didn't make any offers. Fabrizio Romano once said Pavard really wanted to do EPL with United.

Sure, I mean negotiations are an integral part of any transfer obviously, but to take the time and trying to push the price a bit makes sense for as long as Pavard isn't part of the line up that Bayern is bringing on day after day.

They should be careful with exchanging their players when they actually count on them right now. I think Pavard has been a reliable defender for a long time
Pavard really wants to move to England and had already agreed terms with Manchester United but they refusal on Maguire to move to another club have made it tough for Manchester united to get another player into the squad, he’s a very versatile player and would be very beneficial to the backline of United but according to the news he might likely move over to Intermilan since an agreement has been reach with Bayern Munich and Manchester United are not showing an serious Interest but just talks of getting him
 The thing is that Pavard is a proven player and would make a fine addition to any team he moves to he's solid good with the ball is a very versatile defensive player therefore Intermilan would be very glad to meet up with Bayern Munich’s demand and include such a fine player to their squad and blustering the defense line is one thing all top teams need to do if they want to have a proper challenge this season.

I don't know maybe Real Madrid and Barcelona can change roles this season. I mean maybe this time Real Madrid will dominate the La Liga and Barcelona will be out of the title race earlier. This is quite possible if we only consider the current performances. However it is still the beginning of the season on one hand. Honestly I can't be confident about anything until seeing the first half of the season. That would give us a big opinion of how the rest of the season can also be.

For now I'm just enjoying to watch Bellingham. Real Madrid must be very satisfied with bringing him already now.  Smiley
Exactly you're on point @Pulsar 77, last season Realmadrid didn't really put more effort to win the league  they seemed so focus in defending their champions league title then, but this season they're on another level and their performance in their last 2 matches has shown that they're in for both the league trophy and champions league as well, and i think they'll be very dominant in both, they're on the top of the table at the moment and even look tougher than last season, they didn't make lots of changes in their squad bur the little additions have been impressive so far, and Jude Bellingham in one fantastic player that could become the player of the season and a potential world best player in Realmadrid, he's been impressive so far with his back to back goals and is aiding in bringing out the best in players like Rodrygo and Vini jnr when they're on the pitch together, his presence in the club has made possible for Madrid to be playing comfortably without needing to get another striker to support Joselu, and i just hope he doesn't get injured soon cause it's going to affect their squad losing one of their current star player to injury.

I feel like PSG will get better, they had a huge off-season where Mbappe was almost gone, Messi left, Neymar left and that is their big three, not having them is a big deal. Now they are going to get used to their new squad and I bet that they are going to do very well too.

I know that it might look like we are talking about a situation where it is not a big deal as of right now, but I bet that it is going to be a big deal when the time comes. Obviously it may take a while and we may end up with a situation where they fail to get a win here and there, but even last year they barely won the title with those great players, so it may not be all that great this year too, but I bet that they will get the league at least.
I don't think with PSG have did very well performance last two matches in Ligue 1 failed for three points achievement, last match PSG got draw against Tolouse and they can't scoring goals trough open play match after Mbappe goal from penalty kick. Need time for PSG waking up after losing many important player last season, left by Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos and last rumor left with Marco Veratti make PSG have rebuilding with their new player and they need time for adapting in Ligue 1.

Ousmane Dembele appearance forty minutes last match can't give contribution well and PSG difficult scoring goals, have been two match PSG scored one goals and seems bad starts in Ligue 1 not only difficult for winning but also get the same difficult for scoring goals.
Well my worry for them is not about the ligue 1 because PSG has been very Dominant for a very long time there and they'll still manage to win a trophy even when their performance is poor, like for instance their was a point when they had terrible performance for several matches but they still managed to win the league, i more worried about their Performance in the Champions league tournament and im beginning to think that they’ve let go of many star players without more quality replacement for them, and it might take a while for the new signings to adapt into the new system and i hope it doesn't take much longer cause it would be very unprofessional.
 Image if Mbappe had left too that means there would be no reliable player to get them get goals, Enrique is a good profissional coach with experience and he needs to do something about his teams scoring ability, matches against Toulouse is supposed to be an easy task for PSG but they're find it difficult to get goals then how do they expect to play when the champions league tournament starts.
3933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 20, 2023, 09:23:09 PM
today I will shout out loud that I will stop betting on Roma which is very bad because it appeared at home but did not have a spectacular performance and was only able to secure a draw against a not so strong team like Salernitana.
Yeah people should think twice about betting on Roma since their results are quite random. A really nice start for Mourinho boys in Serie A, a promising season they will have apparently after a draw vs Salernitana..

and regarding the Udinese vs Juventus match it looks like this will be a very impressive first match for Juventus even though there are many problems and obstacles that must be overcome but surprisingly Juventus are starting to prove that they will restore their former glory.
Juventus are leading with 3 goals to 0 vs Udinese. The game is almost finished and Chiesa, Vlahovic and Rabiot all scored a goal. We might expect a Juve return this season?
Lazio game will finish soon and they are late 1 - 2 vs Lecce Lips sealed
It was a very nice performance for Juventus today and the Juventus players were very brilliant today were more dominant against Udinese playing from away, and their new player Timo Weah shined in his debut today and that's a very good news for Juventus and the fans would need him to maintain this current form he's started with, another player that was very impressive was Dusan Vlahovic who scored a penalty and also gave an assist to  Federico Chiesa, now this is a player they almost let go to Chelsea in replacement with Lukaku if not that the collapsed Lukaku would had been a Juventus player, do you think Lukaku would had done what he did against Udinese today? Though his performance last season for Juventus was terrible but i believe he'll likely performance better this season judging from today's match against Udinese.
  Juventus are sitted on the second position of the league table below the first position Fiorentina and above their rivals Napoli, this season is going to be a tough on to decide because Juventus, Ac Milan, and Intermilan are not going to be easy on Napoli who are the defending champions, Juventus have been very dominant and would likely want to claim back the title this season and also Acmilan and Inter really strengthen their squad this season, in preparation of both the league and champions league therefore they're so strong currently and are strong competitors as well

 Barcelona are in the 2nd half of the game and has failed to convert good chances in the 1st half, they're the most preferred to win the match and really need to score after they drew there last match against Getafe and even got a red card, Barcelona are currently sitted 12 in the Laliga table and would definitely need to win to cover the gap between Realmadrid who are four points ahead of them currently.
 They're more possesive in the game and had about 6 shots with 2 on target with a 72% possession Gavi and Frankie De Jong have got a yellow card in the match and need to be careful not t9 get another yellow that would lead to a red, making it another Red card in two straght matches, however i was suprised that De jong is playing in the central back instead of his preferred wing from the Midfield area.

Fulham finished on a decent note in the last season in my opinion. But they are definitely needed to keep the players that they had to continue the performance that they were able to bring. They have definitely let some very important players go. But at the same time I also understand why they have taken the decision. It is definitely a lot of money. But the problem is even with that kind of money, better players are not going to be attracted to the team.

So probably it was a better idea to actually keep the players that they had in the first place instead of letting them go for a good amount of money and not find a suitable replacement in the future. Definitely some bad decisions are being taken by them. They have also not started the season Well. One point from two matches is definitely not good enough. But let’s see if they can become stable in their performance going forward in the season.

 Mitrovic is a fine players and he been loyal enough to the team and even joined them to championship when they got relegated in 2021/22 season, and even rejected offers from Premier league clubs in his demand then, i think his loyalty has paid off this season and Fulham has decided to let him go to a place where he'll earn a huge salary and also play an important role for his new team.
 However on their own ends, £52m is enough to sign about fast rising strikers from SouthAmerica or other European Leagues so it's a win/win for both parties since he'll be receiving a huge salary and the club has got enough funds to recruit new talented youngster since the transfer window is still ongoing, but for the main time they'll definitely miss his presence until they find good replacement for that position.

-snip-
Chelsea are still trying to dismantle West Ham defense to find their first win, Chelsea had the opportunity to change the score to 2-1 but the penalty kick that was executed by Enzo Fernandez was successfully driven away by the West ham goalkeeper. Chelsea struggle got even harder after West Ham changed the score to 2-1 in the 53rd minute through a goal created by Michail Antonio, Pochettino had to rack his brains so that his team would not be humiliated in this game. Chelsea's great squad is still having difficulties in front of West Ham, Pochettino had to change strategy to save his team from defeat.
Chelsea don't have a great squad, they just have an expensive squad that doesn't seem to live up to expectations. So far I haven't seen Chelsea play well in the second half and they conceded to West Ham instead. Of course it was very disappointing, even after Pochettino changed several players.

Chelsea, who are currently playing against 10 West Ham players, should be able to create opportunities to change the score to a draw, but they are still very difficult to penetrate West Ham's defense so far. I think West Ham can win this game if they are really disciplined in defense and avoid fatal mistakes in the defensive area.
I can't believe Enzo Fernandez miss and opportunity to make the match 1-2 in their favour, it was a very brilliant save from the Westham goalie and unfortunately for Chelsea António was able to convert a fine shot into a goal making it 2-1 and in return made it difficult for Chelsea to equilise, i think Chelsea played brilliantly in the first half today and though their squad is very expensive they still got good players with lack of experience but with time they'll begin to understand themselves.
 I see no reason why they should lose the match because they even played against a 10 men Westham squad and that alone should give them the upper hand in the match but they failed to convert the fine chances they had and allowed Westham to even get a penalty and score the 3rd goal in the late minutes of the match, the westham defense looked very solid and making it more difficult for Chelsea to penetrate but what marvels me is mudryk failing to convert good chances when they manage to beat Westham's defense,  his performance was poor in the match no wonder he was benched and was bought in due to Carney's injury.

Wow Al Hilal bought it 2x higher than the market value according to transfermarkt.com Aleksandar Mitrovic market value is 28 Million, so Aleksandar Mitrovic is Al Hilal 4th most expensive player after Neymar (90M) Malcom (60M) Ruben Neves (55 Million) all of these players were brought in this season and Al Hilal has spent a total of 341 Million that's close to Chelsea's record transfer 384 Million this season  Roll Eyes Al Hilal still has the opportunity to spend more money to bring in other players I wouldn't be surprised if their total spending this season is up to 500 Million. Now Al Hilal adds 7 top European players in the Line up so it takes 4 more players to complete it, who is the next player?


OMG, did not expect that Al Hilal would be this crazy to spend money to recruit players from Europe to improve team performance and also increase the popularity of the team from saudi arabia and in the short term SPL will be one of the best leagues in the world and have high interest to watch and bet on a specific team.


Alexandre Mitrovic was a very fine Striker for fulham he made about 205 appearances and scored 111 goals for Fulham and therefore would be very outstanding for the Al-Hilal team because he's very physical and not very old in age, to be honest i didn't expect him to move to an inferior leagues at 28 years but to be frank the money they offered was fair and Fulham couldn't reject such offer that they could use to sign and develop younger prospect in that position.
 Mitrovic has alot to offer at Al-Hilal,  he's proven it at England in different seasons and the number of goals he's got at Fulham could tell what he has to offered and i think he'll be a threat to the opposition teams Saudi Pro League and there squad looks scary because they've still got Neymar, Benzema, Neves, Henderson, and several others with Mitrovic currently included, this is a squad that would definitely challenge Ronaldo's Al-Nassr's squad this season.

R. Madrid started La Liga by matching the lowest performing teams in the league. They are lucky in terms of motivation. The critical matches will start in September and beyond. This will probably coincide with Arda's recovery period. I can't wait to watch Arda. If he continues to play for Bellingham Real Madrid, he will become a legend. When Real Madrid are in trouble he always has the potential to come to the fore and save Madrid. This is a spot on transfer.

Another point that caught my attention is Vinicius Jr's performance. It's as if his performance has dropped as a result of Benzema's departure. It's not right to comment on a single match but the passing traffic with Benzema and the fact that they understand each other very well may have caused a drop in performance with Benzema's departure but he still has the potential to recover after a few matches. La liga will be the scene of the Barca - Real rivalry again this year.

There are players who take a long time to get used to new players, but I don't see any decline in Vinicius, he plays at the same level and still scores. Bellingham is a great fit for the team, they work very well with Rodrigo, that's very important. By the way, Bellingham scored two goals and made an assist, do you think Mbappe could play better in this match? ) I think Real Madrid feels good without Mbappe.
The Introduction of Jude Bellingham into the Realmadrid squad is a very good thing and would be very beneficial to their squad this season, i mean he's very impressive so far and has been outstanding so far since his arrival to the team, it think he's currently the player with the highest goal for Realmadrid and has been more outstanding than even Vinicius Jnr, his partnership with Rodrigo is very good and both players would score more goals this season.
 Bellingham had a brace in their previous match and even had an assist shows how good and talented he's atleast they won't miss Modric much when he finally retires, however Mbappe is another talented players and would had moved to Realmadrid this summer if not for some circumstances but i believe he would had also performed well at Realmadrid also, if you noticed he also scored a goal yesterday and PSG won't had scored without him introduced in the match during the 2nd half of the game, of course Madrid squad looks very good without Mbappe but his presence would had been a good addition and threat to opposition teams.

I was thinking before Inter's game against Monza that if Inter scored first they would win and it happened. I mean Inter usually struggle to score goals but this early match proved that his development is getting better. When Lautaro Martinez scored the first goal I was sure they would be ahead for so long because Inter have a very good defense, so it is very unlikely that Inter will concede a goal. In the second half Martinez scored his brace to guide Inter to their first win in Serie A this week. Inter proved they no longer need Lukaku because with the current striker options such as Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Marko Arnautovic they can rotate well as strikers.
The two big Italian teams Napoli and Intermilan have had very good performance this week and are both sitting in the 2nd and 3rd position respectively Intermilan had a very good performance against Monza though the opposition where more possessive but their striker Lautaro Martinez scored a brace among all the 22 shots they had 3 were on target and Martinez converted the remaining 2 to goals, and obviously with Thuram in their squad i don't think Lukaku's departure would be felt because they now have more experienced attackers currently competing in that position, álso Martinez brace has proved that their attacking line looks strong and they'll have a better performance without Lukaku, i still insist he made a big mistake and would had been the star player for Intermilan this season but he betrayed them and decided to move to Juventus however the deal colapsed and now  he's left with little options to sit on the bench at Chelsea or move to Westham where he won't play the champions league football.

Two manchesters got different results in this week's game. As we know, Manchester United had to collapse at home to Spurs after losing 2-0 without reply and Manchester City managed to beat Newcastle at home with a narrow score of 1-0. Two wins for Manchester City in two matches and one win for Manchester United in two matches make the two within 3 points for now. For Erik ten hag, this is clearly a bad result because they always find it difficult to score goals and in the game against Spurs they couldn't do much because Spurs looked more prepared to win this game. Even Lisandro Martinez added to Spurs' advantage through his own goal.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, although Haaland did not score, Julian Alvarez, who temporarily replaced KDB's role, managed to score the only winning goal for Manchester City in this match against Newcastle. I think the competition will continue to heat up and it's still the start of the season, all teams must continue to be consistent and don't lose their chance to win.

 Of course everyone knows Manchester City are the most outstanding team in Manchester currently since the introduction of Pep Guardiola and Manchester United on the other hand are still battling to go back to glory days  since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson  and though Erik Ten Hag had a good performance in his first season with Manchester United but they've not really performed with any improvement from the previous season, they managed to win against Wolves at home and refused to learn from their mistakes playing awful in the Midfield area, the only two outstanding players in their recent matches are Aaron Wanbissaka and their goalie Onana the rest are playing like they lack form especially Rashford who's deployed to play in the top 9 area.

 However their neighbours City have been outstanding in the league so far and even beat Newcastle who everyone tough would be tough for them playing without their most creative player Kelvin Debruyne, one player that's been very unfortunate due to the absence of Kelvin Debruyne is Haaland, he's having difficulties in receiving good assists and couldn't convert the few chances the gets to a goal but i think he'll begin to find the net soon.
