I'm not going to blame Harry Kane here and maybe it's true that Bayern Munich's preparation was not very good for facing Leipzig in the DFL Cup final. An embarrassing defeat of 3 goals without reply would have been enough to hit all parties in Bayern Munich and as the team that was the favorite to win this title it failed. Even Harry Kane tried to be ready to play in the match, but the time he arrived at Bayern Munich until this final match was so tight that there was clearly no time to train longer or find chemistry with other players.

After all, Harry Kane only entered in the 63rd minute when Bayern Munich were already 2 goals behind and this is like hoping for luck if Harry Kane can score a goal in this match. But soon Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick from the penalty spot, thereby burying Bayern Munich's hopes of winning this title. I think Harry Kane will have to be a little more patient to be able to win his first trophy with Bayern Munich later.

Real Madrid seemed to have started to find their rhythm in the opening match of La Liga against Bilbao and it looked like they were relaxed enough to do so by winning 2-0. Using the new formation from Ancelotti 4-4-2 diamond is something they have to understand and all the players seem quite able to adapt to this new formation. However, I often still see failures for the attack line which is filled by Vini and Rodrygo who don't really understand this formation, but in my opinion Rodrygo is still better than Vini.

But of all the things that stand out the most are the 4 midfielders owned by Real Madrid who play so rhythmically in this formation without any pressure. I think without Kross and Modric, these four young midfielders are ready to replace their senior roles. Jude Bellingham is probably the best midfielder so far and he also scored 1 goal with his casual kick on his debut in this match and delivered him as man of the match.

I didn't expect Newcastle to destroy Aston Villa so easily and this 5-1 big win put Newcastle on top of the table on goal difference. Aston Villa failed to live up to my expectations and of course some people's because this team was pretty good with last season's results and also some additional ammunition they got this summer to continue to develop their existing game.

But it seems that this is not a good start for Aston Villa and they will try to get better results in the next game. Meanwhile, Newcastle won thanks to the first goal scored by his new player from Milan, namely Sandro Tonali and of course his mainstay striker Aleksander Isak with his brace and other goals scored by other players. Eddie Howie is of course very happy with what his squad is showing and hopes that this consistency will continue to last in the future.

I was still surprised by Martinelli's assist and immediately Nketiah fired in the shot that led to Arsenal. Then there was the spectacular goal scored by Bukayo Saka and even Kai Havertz was speechless to the point of holding his head because he was so surprised to see the goal. In the second half Arsenal struggled quite a bit and couldn't add to the number of goals and instead they were hit by a quick counter attack from Nottingham which made them concede one goal. A deserved victory for Mikel Arteta's squad at the start of the season and these 3 additional points keep Arsenal still below Manchester City with a goal difference.

Obviously this is a very good buy for Bayern Munich and a salary of 25 million euros per year is very commensurate with the quality that will be produced by Harry Kane. Today also Harry Kane has started training with the Bayern Munich squad. It seems that Thomas Tuchel wants to move quickly so that Harry Kane quickly adapts to the other players because tomorrow there will be the DFL Cup final between Bayern Munich and Leipzig. This is also the first title for Harry Kane if later Bayern Munich manages to beat Leipzig and we will start to see his performance in tomorrow's match.

Today we will see the final of the Arab club champions which will bring together Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr. We know the rivalry of these two teams in the Saudi league is very hot and this is a decisive match for both of them to win the first title before continuing to the Saudi league competition. This will also be a proving ground for Cristiano Ronaldo to be able to get his first title with Al-Nassr and it seems that it will not be easy enough because Al-Hilal has other European players such as Ruben Neves, Milikovic Savic, Koulibally and Malcom. But of course, this time too, Cristiano Ronaldo is not alone because there are other European players who have participated in strengthening the depth of the Al-Nassr squad, such as Seko Fofana, Sadio Mane, Brozovic, and Alex Telles. These two big Arab teams are very balanced and we can see these European stars heating up the atmosphere again through this match.

Indeed, getting a red card in the final minutes will be more vulnerable to conceding, especially since Luis Bade, who received the red card, plays as a center back. Sevilla can't seem to hope for more except for a draw at least they want to get, but indeed things have changed drastically and this has made Valencia one step closer to winning this match. I quite agree that we cannot criticize such minor results at the start of the season because after all, Sevilla cannot suffer the same fate as last season. I think they will continue to learn so that similar things don't happen. On the other hand, this victory has made Valencia even more confident to continue its positive trend.

It can be seen that currently Fred and his agent are on their way to Turkey to complete an agreement to join Fenerbahce. Reportedly by various sources its cost is around 15 million euros and this is below its market value of 20 million euros. Even so, it seems that Manchester United are still happy with the sale of their players because they are finally getting additional funds to be able to buy new ammunition later. As we know, Manchester United wants to complete Amrabat's transfer from Fiorentina and it is certain that they will soon reach an agreement.

Seeing Bayern Munich's progress in getting a new goalkeeper this summer, it seems that they were not lucky enough because when they were one step away they were able to convince Kepa to join Bayern Munich but at the same time Real Madrid came in with a loan offer. In terms of players, Kepa prefers to join Real Madrid so this recruitment is over for Bayern Munich. I think Bayern Munich should move quickly to get another goalkeeper before the transfer window closes and actually there are still a lot of good goalkeepers out there as long as they have enough funds to be able to bring him in.

Soon we will watch the match between Arsenal and Nottingham and what is quite surprising is that Mikel Arteta put Thomas Partey in the RB position. Usually this position is filled by Ben White or Tomiyasu and if you look at the list of reserve players there is actually Gabriel Malghaes. It looks like Mikel Arteta wants to try a new strategy by placing Ben White as a center back and also Thomas Partey as a right back. Meanwhile, the other positions are still filled with the same players as before and there is also Nketiah who replaced the role of Gabriel Jesus who was injured again. According to predictions Arsenal will still be able to win and they will have more than 2 goals ahead.

When Ligue 1 has started, PSG has just announced Ousmane Dembele as its new player who will strengthen its squad for this season's competition. Having gone through several processes that required PSG to wait longer, the agreement with Barcelona went quite smoothly. Dembele will be at PSG until 2028 and this will be a long journey for him to defend the pride of the city of Paris. It seems that for today's match between PSG and Lorient, he will not be used and will probably start defending PSG in the next match against Toulouse on August 20.

So last night Sevilla lost against Valencia at home and I don't understand why they lost. Shouldn't Sevilla be able to secure full points as hosts but they are having a hard time doing that. Valencia came as a guest, of course he also didn't think they could steal points and this is an important capital for the next match. Sevilla even had to suffer the loss of losing their players due to a red card in the 81st minute and that was probably the result of their frustration at not being able to win. Well, however, Sevilla must correct their mistakes so that they don't repeat themselves in next week's match.

I thought that Nice would win this match, but Lille is also a team that is quite on par with Nice so the chances of winning are 50% each. Even so, if Lille didn't score in the last minute, Nice would have bagged an additional 3 points at home. The yellow card given by the referee also pretty much proved the intensity of the match was heating up between the two teams. But this is football as long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle to signal the end of the game, anything can happen and Lille should be quite happy with this draw.

Harry Kane finally officially wears the Bayern Munich uniform and he will wear his favorite number 9 jersey. After going through a very long process, we can see Harry Kane will start a new adventure with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga competition. Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is seeing Harry Kane win his first trophy as a professional footballer and also for sure he will be on the top scorer board of the bundesliga this season. It is worth looking forward to how his journey with Bayern Munich will be, considering that this is the first time he has left England and now has to adapt to his new environment in Germany.

If you look at the data you provided, the 19/20 season was the bitterest in Harry Kane's career and of course this will raise questions and doubts because it has been so long since he has not been injured again. I mean no player in the whole world wants to get injured and this kind of thing is out of player prediction too. Even if Harry Kane suffers an injury, I hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Eden Hazard when he was in his prime and was brought in by Real Madrid at a very expensive fee.

I think every team is ready for the consequences when bringing in players at a high cost and they are definitely ready if they don't come close to the desired expectations. Bayern Munich is a big team and there is no way they will have a difficult time even if it happens.

Haaland again showed consistency in his second season with Manchester City by scoring a brace against Burnley last night with a score of 1-3. It seems that Vincent Kompany is still far enough away from competing with his former teacher in Manchester City and this result will certainly be an added boost for him to make Burnley even better in the future.

The ball possession statistics also point to Burnley who have lost badly from the start and they can only record 1 shot on target during the 90 minutes of the match. Especially towards the end of the game Burnley still suffered a loss after Zaroury had to be sent off after receiving a red card. This victory led Manchester City to become the top of the temporary EPL standings and we will see other matches that will be presented from today to tomorrow.

If from my point of view, Juventus will still not be able to compete to win the Scudetto this season and considering the problems they are facing have not been resolved, of course this will make the atmosphere in the locker room less enthusiastic. For Napoli I don't expect much more from this team after they lost their previous coach and even though Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are still at Napoli it doesn't guarantee they can be champions again.

As for the Milan duo, I think even though there is a chance to stay in the top 4 of the standings, I will favor Milan this time to win the Scudetto this season and considering that Milan is the only team to add amnnisi more than 5 players this season, of course they have a bigger chance to win the title.

True, but this is also thanks to the greatness of Firmino who can position himself to finish well. Al-Hamz's defense is not yet up to par to stop Al-Ahli's dangerous trio and therefore it is only natural that they fall short. On the other hand, Firmino actually answered what I had predicted that he would score a Hattrick because after all this felt quite easy for him with his many years of experience in Europe. I think Firmino will be on the top scorer list of the saudi league for this season and we will see his action again in the next game.

The most realistic thing is that Manchester City win this game and Burnley is something of a possibility. We know Manchester City is not only the best team in the EPL but also in all of Europe at the moment and the chances of them losing are very small. Burnley might have expected a bit of a win since they were the hosts but that wasn't enough to silence the dreadful Manchester City squad. Even if Burnley has a strategy to stop Haaland for 90 minutes, Manchester City still has midfielders who can always score goals and that is the advantage that Manchester City has with its squad which is so complete from all aspects.

The first half is over and Al-Ahli is 2-0 up against Al-Hazm. Surprisingly Firmino managed to score a brace in the first 10 minutes and indeed there is no doubt about his quality when it comes to scoring goals. Riyad Mahrez has also provided one assist so far and can't wait to see him also score on his debut for Al-Ahli. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm seems to be overwhelmed by the attacks that are continuously carried out by Al-Ahli and so far Al-Ahli has also dominated ball possession with a total of 66%. It looks like victory for Al-Ahli is guaranteed with this advantage and in the second half we will be waiting for Firmino to score his first hat trick with Al-Ahli.
