The first game after the break is not far away, and the first game we will see is the Leipzig vs Bayern Munich clash. Let's see how far they are prepared after this long break. This match will be held at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig, an advantage for the hosts because it is certain that they will have the full support of their supporters. Looking at the meeting record, Bayern Munich has the upper hand, but let's see what Leipzig can do in this match.

Indeed, in the match later, one thing that is most feared is if there are major players who suffer injuries during matches in their respective regular leagues. But talking about injuries, sometimes there are some players who get injured during training sessions and that is also something that coaches should be aware of. However, if Man United vs Barcelona later appears with the full main squad, it seems that the match will run more exciting and it will be even more difficult to guess who will win.
As far as I know, the teams don't have big losses of players, so for now the coaches shouldn't worry about it. Yesterday's game showed that Manchester United did not have a big advantage against Crystal Palace, and this is not the strongest team in the Premier League. The first game of the teams will be played at the Camp Nou, and if you look at the statistics, then Barcelona this season at home lost only to Bayern, so the chances of Manchester United will not be so great. I also hope that the two teams that will compete will be able to field their best squad and that there will not be any problems that come to the players, including minor injuries that are more common in players. I think we can't judge the strength of a team in just one match, one of which is when talking about Manchester United who couldn't win in their match in the English league week. We have to see all the games they've played, how they've improved until now. |

But on the other hand, if Madrid really want to do better, I think the addition of players must be done, regardless of anything. Ancelotti must not make it look as if everything is fine with their current condition.
The defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup was not a good moment for Real Madrid, the defeat to Barcelona indicated that the Real Madrid squad was not in their best condition. The defeat to Barcelona was Real Madrid second defeat in a week as Real Madrid were beaten 2-1 by Villarreal last weekend in La Liga which left them three points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga this season. Real Madrid still has a chance to win the La Liga trophy as they are only three points behind Barcelona. Changes must be made in Real Madrid, I'm used to seeing Real Madrid go behind first and in the end they can turn things around, I'm also used to them not winning big even though the team they are facing is a weak team. But now they are different from usual, that's what raises doubts in my mind. They won't be able to compete with Barcelona if it continues like this, they are a big team with a winning mentality, that's what I can't see from their defeat in this game. |

For now PSG is not reliable, this team has all it takes to win any match but we see the reverse being the case always dashing the hope of their fans, french senior league is becoming had for PSG as a team because the teams that are seen as a work over for them is no more soft as been perceived by spectators, with the number of world quality players in PSG ordinary is suppose to keep them ahead of any club in their league. Lets hope to see them winning in coming days.
Despite that in the last five league outing of psg, they lost 2 and won 3, they are still at the top of the Ligue one table with 3 points ahead of Lens. This shows that they are superior still but the good news is that we might not be seeing psg win league again with upto 12 to 15 points. This shows that other teams in the league are doing well. That's right, what is my focus at the moment is the team that is competing with Paris Saint Germain, so far they have done very well by not allowing Paris Saint Germain to be able to win in their matches. This is what I want to see in Ligue 1, that is, there is pressure exerted by other teams on Paris Saint Germain. That way we will see a competitive competition here. Even though in the end they will still be champions, it will not be easy for them to do that. |

In today's coppa italian game, both Napali and Cremonese played incredibly well and both teams scored two goals each. And the game was very tight and Napali lost by only one goal on penalties. It's really fun to watch such a brutal fighting game. Because when only one team scores a lot of goals and the other team doesn't score, the game becomes boring. But it is a thrill to watch such bone-headed play
I'm not too surprised by Napoli's defeat in this match, because it looks like they don't really intend to win here. Or maybe they weren't too lucky because their defeat was a defeat in a penalty shootout where both teams really relied on luck there. However, from the way of the match Napoli can play much better than Cremonese, but once again maybe they don't take this match too seriously. |

I have no doubt Manchester United can win this game, at the moment their form is very good and because last weekend's Manchester derby win certainly boosted their mentality.
so in my opinion Manchester United are in their best form at the moment and inversely proportional to their opponent Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace is an easy opponent for Manchester United for this season because these two teams have shown different levels of consistency, although Manchester United does not have to underestimate every opponent for this season because Manchester United itself is hunting for a better ranking and even in terms of points, it is very close to second place. So this match will be the next opportunity for Manchester United to get the full points even though the match took place at Crystal Palace's home ground. It would be a huge mistake for Manchester United to try to belittle Crystal Palace in a game which is just a few hours away. They really need these 3 points, so don't ever try to underestimate the opponents they will face, in this case not only Crystal palace, but also all the teams they will face. They are in fourth place now, needing just 2 points to overtake Manchester City, at least temporarily. |

 Source: Transkfermarkt The latest transfer rumors come from Al-Nassr who seems to be interested in signing goalkeeper Keylor Navas from PSG. We know Keylor Navas was also one of Cristiano's former teammates at Real Madrid for several seasons. Will Keylor Navas leave PSG this season and join Al-Nassr? what do you think? I don't know what is the main goal of Al Nassr by wanting to bring in a lot of players with European labels after they managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo, what is certain is that it will make their team better known. I won't be surprised when they manage to bring 1 or 2 more players to their club because their financial strength is so very good. I think it would be more profitable for them to carry names other than the goalkeeper. But let's see what they will do next. |

Now let's try to discuss another match in the last 16 of the UCL between Frankfurt vs Napoli. In the first leg Frankfurt will host, it seems they don't need to hesitate because of course the support of fans will fill the stadium. Meanwhile, Napoli, who came as guests in this match, will definitely want to score goals as an aggregate capital when the second leg will be held at their home. Do you think Napoli can get a win in the first leg later? considering their performance is very consistent in the regular league.  maybe because there are still a few more weeks it is difficult to guess and predict this match, but as we know usually the games in the league compared to the UCL are very different because they are against teams that are not part of the league, I think Napoli could be a surprise in the UCL later and certainly won't waste the opportunity to visit Frankfurt, I can't predict both but I'm sure Napoli can win their first meeting True, it is possible that their game will change and we will not see their game in the domestic league. The Champions League can be something very different, the pressure there will be more pronounced because in just one game it will determine their fate to stay or be eliminated. Any team that has a better mentality than their opponent, they will be able to win there, it doesn't matter if they are not better or statistically superior to the opponent they will face. |

Dortmund has really played a great role to the world of football. Dortmund is capable of building young players and sells to other teams. This players performs well whey they are signing into a new team. Making money as a club is a big scheme as a club.
I can't wait to see the Bundesliga start again, and the opponent that Dortmund will face is Augsburg, everyone is positive about the final result that Dortmund will get especially some of their great players have prepared in fit conditions. whatever business dortmund runs, I'm 100% sure the goal is for the good of the team in the long term. Another news is that Dortmund did not force Hummels to extend his contract, but I see that Hummels is an important player for Dortmund, they must be able to convince Hummels to extend his contract at Dortmund. It may be true that they are doing that for their future, but for how long? They must immediately return to competition to win the title. It's been too long for Bayern Munich to be in high dominance, I think it's time we see this new champion in the Bundesliga. It's boring I think because we only see one team that manages to win the title for a long time. And the other teams are just fighting over tickets to go to the Champions League. |

I personally disbelief with chelsea with the current form. I meant if we must also aware the fact that if chelsea was always playing so bad against any team. it doesn't matter how bad or good the opponents that faced by chelsea and the result will always be the same.
Chelsea will always be losing again and again no matter what kind of team that faced by chelsea. The worst era for chelsea
Will they lose again today? If they lose again or fail to gain full points today, they have to say goodbye for the chance to be in CL and EL next season. Their current form is indeed bad, they have not found their best starting eleven yet, they have not found their best strategy, and they have to miss so many players due to injury and cards. Crystal palace in the other side is not that good as well, if Chelsea can boost their motivation, there will be a way to win but if they dont have great motivation then they will not be able to something better. It would be very bad for Chelsea if they had to lose the match again this time, it would extend their bad record this season. But seeing the current conditions they could have repeated the results of the previous 2 matches, namely they lost again. Playing as the host, should be able to motivate them even higher so they don't disappoint their supporters who are present at the match directly. |

I don't know but lately many games here are coming as true both teams to score yes and this league has been historically on the low side of goals and this was not commonly found here.I placed a bet on both teams to score to Lyon vs Strasbourg as I thought Lyon would win with a huge difference in goals because they are better ranked and has the better players,I never expected them to lose yet I expected at least a goal from Strasbourg who in their latest games has been able to score goals,last time around they stopped the title runners up of Lens at a 2-2 draw at home.
I think they were just unlucky in this match, just imagine that out of the 28 kicks they took only 7 were on target. And the 1 goal they scored through the white point was not from a gameplay situation that they really did. The percentage is that they don't play effectively and they often waste opportunities that they should be able to convert into opportunities that end in goals. I also didn't expect that Strasbourg would be able to win in this match. |

In laliga today we saw different game come to play but the match that got my attention is Girona vs sevila, Sevilla winning the first half and being defeated by their opponent is not a good one for a club trying to be more up and doing in their league, Sevilla has to be more aggressive in their attack and defense to avoid the mistake of winning them from behind, thats a bad result for me because Sevilla possessed the ball more than their opponent but shot on target which is 7:2 against sevilla shows that their opponent were more aggressive in attack more them.
At first I predicted that the match would end in a draw after 85 minutes of the game, the score was still 1-1, but disaster struck in the 88th minute, yes, Sevilla conceded another goal and changed things to 2-1 for Girona's advantage. Sevilla has really been devastated this season, yes they continue to feel defeats, and at their peak they have to occupy the bottom zone and even sit in the relegation zone. |

AC Milan is 2 goals behind Lecce, this week it seems that there will be many surprises displayed by the competing teams. AC Milan are trying hard to get their first goal trying to dominate the match. Interestingly, Lecce are even calmer after the 2 goals they got, so they can easily break the attack that AC Milan is trying to build. Less than 5 minutes in normal time the first half will soon be over.

I think Manchester United are experiencing the Ten Hag effect, I will clearly agree that Erik Ten Hag has impacted positively to the team with his disciplinary measures, his tactics and style of play is now proving productive which we can obviously see on the team's outstanding performance lately, the most surprising part of it for me is how well he has transformed Marcus Rashford to be more lethal in front of goal.
The Ten Hag effect has begun to unite with Manchester United, Barcelona must be careful with the revival that Manchester United recently experienced after Ten Hag was able to mix the team together to become more solid. Manchester United had just won a big game, the victory over Manchester City sent a dangerous signal for Xavi. Manchester United could be a big obstacle for Barcelona to move on to the next round. Even though they were behind by 1 goal in the 60th minute, Manchester United were able to reverse the position through their 2 goals. It was a very extraordinary match for them and it was a red flag for Barcelona who will face Manchester United in the play off round. They won victory after victory and with a good game too, this is their 5th win in a row. Barcelona must be really aware of the strategy that will be used by Erik Ten Hag. |

Bayern Munich VS RB Salzburg GOAL 4 - 4 - DRAW
With the exception of a few too many poor passes, I couldn't care less about the outcome; what matters is that Bayern performed well. I'm especially happy with blind and the younger players. The young players, especially Arijon Ibrahimovic, made me very delighted. He plays the game so well. 20 substitutions were done in this game, 10 in both side. They gave opportunity to their players to play more time and for the main one to train a little. I don't care about the result also, the main point is to see the weakness of each one and especially the goalkeepers in the Bayern side. Replacing Neuer won't be an easy job there. I agree with you, that we shouldn't focus on the results of the match, but we have to look more at how strong the two teams are, especially for Bayern Munich after they were left behind by Manuel Neuer due to injury. The 4 goals that nested against them became a job that they had to finish before the league really started, moreover they will have a match in the Champions League against a team that is not easy either, Paris Saint Germain. |

Statistically, Chelsea was superior to Fulham in this match, but that alone was not enough to get them points because they failed to convert the opportunities they created into goals. They fell behind first and had time to make hope with the goals they created in return. But the winning goal created by Fulham really cost them another defeat this week.
the statistics of the match did not affect the final result in the Chelsea vs Fulham match, I even saw that Felix did not make a big contribution in this match even though this was his first match, even worse he got a red card. Fulham's first goal was scored by Willian and Fulham's second goal by Vinicius, while 1 Chelsea goal was scored by Koulibaly who is a defender. That's what I said before, that superior statistics can't guarantee they win when they don't score. The most glaring mistake made by Joao Felix was getting a red card in his debut match, which created an unfavorable impression. But seeing the game he played I think he was OK if he didn't get a red card in that game. This defeat extended Graham Potter's bad record while handling Chelsea. |

There are reports that Arsenal have submitted a new proposal for Mykhaylo Mudryk and this time it is close to €70m fee plus add-ons. It seems negotiations are ongoing with Shakhtar Donetsk to discuss on the add-ons package. Honestly I feel they will definitely accept the offer, because I don't see any reasonable reason in keeping an unhappy player in your club, his mind is no longer with them, it’s time to let him go.
I don't think these rumors will continue since a week ago, but it seems that the new offer made by Arsenal will change the outcome of the negotiations. Mykhaylo Mudryk is a young talent that Mikel Arteta really wants to fill the midfield position, it's no wonder Arsenal are so adamant about getting the Shakhtar Donetsk player's contract signature. Arsenal have not given up on signing the player, as evidenced by their new bid for the deal that current owner Mudryk wants. The new offer they submitted may be considered for his current team to let him go at the proposed price. The reason is that the offer was then rejected because Shakhtar Donetsk did not want to let go of the player at the price previously proposed. Young players are prioritized by Arsenal for their future. |

Actually, Chelsea didn't have enough morale boost in this game against Fulham. You know Chelsea are currently going through a really tough phase after the new coach, Graham Potter took over. On the other hand, on top of that last week they lost to Manchester City twice in a row. If they somehow managed to win this game against Fulham they could have brought back their morale boost but they failed to do so.
Chelsea's failure in the away game with Fulham was not only about their morale, but also because of factors that occurred in the match itself which was in the second half after Chelsea equalized through Kalidou Koulibaly's goal. In the 56th minute Denis Zakaria was injured and had to be substituted and added another player's red card (Joao Felix) in the 58th minute which made the Fulham team more profitable and also easy to win the game even though the ball possession was not much different for the two. Statistically, Chelsea was superior to Fulham in this match, but that alone was not enough to get them points because they failed to convert the opportunities they created into goals. They fell behind first and had time to make hope with the goals they created in return. But the winning goal created by Fulham really cost them another defeat this week. |

Today is not a difficult game in theory for Barcelona despite the opponent being in fourth place in La Liga,this Supercup game I think it will be won by Barcelona and most likely we will see both teams to score during this game.I know that in the past Barcelona had difficulties winning against teams managed by Manuel Pellegrini but I think this time Barcelona is in super form and I think Real Betis simply lack the force to oppose Barcelona in this form they are.I think the best bet here is both teams to score as usually in finals both teams score and the odd at 1.79 is really great for this to happen.
On paper, Barcelona are indeed more favored than their opponents this time, Real Betis. The record for meetings between the two teams is also in favor of Barcelona. But on the other hand, usually in a competition like this, teams that are not favored can actually make bigger surprises than usual. Barcelona must be careful and I hope this match will end in victory for Barcelona so that we will see El Clasico in the final. |

I’d also advice that Chelsea's board should give Graham Potter more time to try to solve the issues resulting to poor performances and poor results in the team. Guardiola is right, we can also sight example from Mikel Arteta, things weren't so smooth at the beginning but with time and patience he was able to bring the team to it's current level and it took 3 seasons to get to this stage and he is still working so this thing goes through phases and it just required a little patience and trust in the manager.
This is how Arteta's example shows what result trust can bring, when a coach knows that he is trusted, when he knows that he has time to realize his vision, this should bring results. But when I watch how often in Chelsea change coaches, how little time they get, it only says that Potter may lose his place in the team very soon. The same problem applies to PSG, the coaches simply do not have time to build a team, they have too many resources and very little time, but this will never be enough to win the Champions League. Big victories require patience, not everything can be bought with money. There is no coach who doesn't want to see the team he handles play well, it's just that that desire doesn't always go smoothly with reality. Graham Potter must have racked his brains to get Chelsea's game back to its best. The question is how much time will it take him to do that. This is because not all teams will have the patience to wait for their team to return as expected. Threatened, that's what I have in mind regarding the position of Graham Potter. |
