PSG has up to tomorrow to respond to Real Madrid offers, I think they will try to play this game with Mbappe in the bench and see how the game will end without him since Messi and probably Neymar will be present. We will see. Otherwise, Lille getting its first 3 points vs Montpellier and Rennes continues its disappointing results. Angers and Clermont without a single defeat after 4 games, that's interesting!

Nearly half time in the Wolves vs Man Utd game. Wolves are playing really well & deserve to be winning. You don’t always get what you deserve in football though. Enjoyable game any way, come on Wolves.
Wolves played good but the ball refused to enter the goal especially at Saiss double attempt but De Gea did a good job saving it! Now the result is Wolves 0 - 1 ManU by Greenwood and the game is almost finished, 5 minutes left. About Spurs, they won as expected and become in the top of the table.

Inter Milan is currently the favorite for me this season. The opening game 4:0 against Genoa played great and game 2 was won 3:1 against Hellas Verona. One thing they will miss this season "Romelu Lukaku" 24 goals last season. As a replacement Edin Dzeko, I do not think so. I always thought there comes another star, with the 115 million of lukaku sale and the 60 million of Hakim you can buy someone very good player.
It is early to say which team will be favorite basing in the first round. Inter is doing great so far but its opponents weren't that fit. Lazio scoring big but I don't think they will keep performing that way for a long time. Milan is supposed to have a good season but didn't show until now so. All eyes on Roma under Mourinho management and for Juve 1 point from 6 is indeed a bad start but the team will count on itself without CR7 and might improve better under Allegri. We will have a better vision by the 6th round at least.

-snip- In La Liga, they can not rely on Benzema in 38 matches. In Champions League, big clubs in the Europe can neutralize the danger from Benzema and Real Madrid will face with problems.
Real Madrid won a very important victory, this is the most important thing, because as I wrote earlier, Betis is a very difficult team for Real Madrid and they very often win with a minimal advantage, or even play in a draw. Benzema cannot score goals every match, so it would be good, if he had a reliable striker of the proper level to help, but as long as it is as it is, Real Madrid wins and this is the main thing. Indeed Betis is a team that can cost Real Madrid precious points and winning there is an achievement. Counting only on Benzema will make the team very unstable but it isn't his fault for not scoring. Bale, V.Junior, Hazard and the others are fluctuating in performance very much. Real needs Mbappe to endorse the attack line, that's a fact.

Bayern are going to win the league by a lot of points again this season. Dortmund have been weakened because of Sancho leaving which is prolly the worst thing they could have done if they wanted to compete with Bayern. I think the Germany league has been weakened a lot over the transfer market and Bayern will win by 15+ points.
Many goals scored today and definitely Bayern is impressive as usual and Lewandowski taking all the lights! They literally trashed Hertha which is struggling right now with 0 point... Otherwise so many goals scored in Leverkusen, Mainz, Freiburg and of course Dortmund one. Looking forward for Leipzig tomorrow!

What's going on today with high scoring results in top leagues lol, Lazio delivering 6 goals to Spezia, Bayern 5 goals vs Hertha and City 5 vs Arsenal! Atalanta failed to get 3 points vs Bologna but the most surprising part is to see Juve 1 goal behind Empoli at least in this first half

Chelsea were more dangerous than Liverpool with 10 men. They had clear cut chances in the 2nd half and Liverpool could not threaten the goal. Mendy was very good at saving those long shots by Liverpool. Havertz is a world class player and I think Chelsea are going to run away with the league this season. They dominated Liverpool from the 1st minute at anfield.
Not sure if Liverpool is lucky to get 1 point or Chelsea is the lucky one to get a draw with only 10 players for the remaining 45 minutes. I couldn't watch the second half but the first one was very good and intense. Both teams were threatening the opponents goalies with many missed opportunities. I find the result fair for both. Now I wonder know if Spurs will take the lead tomorrow since all teams before it failed to get 3 points.

lol at what happened in front of Chelsea goal, chaos but after a reply, ouep it is definitely a penalty, red card for James. The game might change dramatically in the second half especially after Liverpool getting the draw with Salah penalty. Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea with 11 vs 10 players.. Is that a deserving red card I don’t think so. It's 1:1, bad luck for Chelsea. I just have won one of my bets but seems I won't win the other one as Chelsea is going to have played with 10 players. Yes it is a correct red card seeing his hand position and the fact that he is the last player and prevented an imminent goal.

Quite interesting game between Liverpool and Chelsea. I could say that Liverpool was slightly playing better but Havertz scored by a header after a corner, then Chelsea took the lead. I expect more goals from both teams tho regarding the style and the intensity of the match!

I agree! a score of 3 - 2 against Hoffenheim is not what I expected either, that means they are really struggling to make a win, or maybe their defense was depleted, but the good part was Erling Haaland make the last goal to make the win against Hoffenheim, their score is a typical struggle with a team that didn't really make on the top 5 on the season 20-21 what if they face Bayern, Leipzig or Leverkusen but a win is a win, and they need to give their all because this is the last season for Erling Haaland, the club can not afford him anymore and might say goodbye to the team when the season ends.
It was expected to be a hard game for Dortmund and they luckily didn't drop points on it thanks to Haaland's last goal in the extra time. Of course this isn't very reassuring for them with only late one goal difference. As usual many goals scored in most games in Bundesliga, 16 in 6 games until now

How is Arsenal going to cope?
It's a pity this situation for Arsenal, a club I really like. I think they deserve more. That was a catastrophic result, the worst imaginable scenario. Ok I assume we are all waiting to see gunners losing that game but who could expect such shameful ending?? 5-0!! Receiving 9 goals and scoring nothing!! Is that a training match for City? For the other games and before the end of the first half, Leicester and West Ham are leading with 1 goal both and the most important game between Chelsea and Liverpool will start in 2 hours!

Lyon made it! They got their first victory of the season finally. Moussa Dembele's goal was worth a lot. It was a really tough game and Nantes actually played better I think. But somehow, Lyon succeeded in defeating them. This is a meaningful win for them and they will aim to maintain a win streak I believe.
There was some reluctance at the beginning about how the game will end but after Lyon scored, it was clear how this game will end. Now I assume everyone is waiting for tomorrow's game between Reims and PSG and asking whether it will be Messi first match in Ligue 1 and Mbappe last one?

UECL group stage draw is up: -snip- Group E appears to be well balanced and somewhat hard to predict whos going to advance. Roma and Basel's groups look like pieces of cake, at least on paper.
There is at least a favourite team in each group and indeed Roma, Spurs, Rennes, Union Berlin and Basel shouldn't have a hard time to pass the group stage imo. I can tell that some of these teams don't have to play with full first squad to pass in fact.

Verona 19:45 Inter Milan Verona 1 - 0 Inter MilanIt's unbelievable that inter is currently losing, although I still believe they can reverse that result and in the end win the game, but without Lukaku and without Antonio Conte it's clear that they're not as strong as last season It is half time now and Inter is behind with 1 goal and Inter odds jumped to 3.5 but BTTS odd is still low @1.35 ... I think Inter could score in the second half but not sure how this game will end. Edit: Martinez scored a goal, Verona 1 - 1 Inter!

it is a shame that the number of followers of both Real Madrid and Barcelona has dropped enormously. It is likely that all the emotions of football are heading towards France and England.
It is noticeable, EPL has almost most stars to follow with solid teams, Unpredictable results and competitive games. PSG has Messi and Ramos among a couple of players to watch too, otherwise games there aren't top while what left for La Liga? Real Madrid without its historic defense and CR7, Barca without its legend Messi..obviously the number of followers of La Liga will drop for these reasons.. For today's game, 20 minutes left before the end and Mallorca is leading with 1 goal vs Espanyol

Today, the new match week start with the Nantes - Lyon game. As we know, Lyon couldn't have a good start so far. They got 2 draws and 1 loss. They were really close to getting their first win against Clermont but Clermont made an insane comeback from 3-1 to 3-3 and it ended like that. Nantes might be a worse team than Lyon in general but Lyon should still be careful in this game. Nantes made Monaco have big difficulties in their first game. I still believe that Lyon will be victorious here.
I wouldnt be surprised if Lyon dosent win as well today,they are playing really bad at the start of this season plus they are playing an away against Nantes that arent playing really good but are always a hard opponent to beat Lyon is in awkward situation with only 2 points after 3 games. Nantes is relatively weaker than Lyon regarding its performance last season but with the actual performance of Lyon no one could be sure about the outcome of this game. The match just begins and the odds are @1.8 for Lyon and @4 for Nantes.

I don't think so, but fans are happy because the legend who once left and is now back, this is something we have to see how after Ronaldo officially became Man United's squad this season. With a 2 season contract I want to know if he will also present a trophy again at Manchester United, because of course the past and now will definitely feel different. Only in the current transfer season is it surprising. Messi left the house Ronaldo is back home after a long time. ManU consolidated a lot its position and is very powerful right now imo but not sure about the title since Chelsea is very dangerous with the actual squad. Of course City is also threatening even if they didn't invest in making the team better.. Now as you just said, this transfer window is incredible! Messi movement sparked a surprise after almost few hours from renewal of his contract and CR7 made another surprise going to ManU after few hours from making one with City!

It's official! Ronaldo will return to Man United! -snip- It is Cristiano Ronaldo's return to the Premier League, more than a decade after leaving the 'red devils' in 2009.
Lmao! Everyone was waiting for City to announce CR7 signing to find ManU officially welcoming him back lol! Now that what I called a SURPRISE, there was basically no single news or rumors about that after Varane signing. Now City is in awkward situation for real, ManU and Chelsea are building a hell of teams and Guardiola has to look forward for a solution to save the title for real..

I think Dortmund will win this match and there will be lots of goals. But this is still the Bundesliga and things can go the other way just like that. Also if Halland plays like he does it will be an easy win for Dortmund.
Dortmund odds are @1.4 vs Hoffenheim @6.4 Dortmund is better of course but we all know their fluctuations and how Hoffenheim could make surprises. Their previous face-off generally ended with Dortmund dropping points especially at home. Hopefully they will win to compete Bayern seriously later. I find personally the best game to be Wolfsburg vs Leipzig this weekend.

Clearly Group A was the joy to hold, we will watch great games there. Club Brugge must be devastated after this draw. Group E was also pretty good, Bayern and Barca is on the same group. I think the weakest groups were F and G, they are more like Europe League level teams. The last of all Group C will be the most competitive group and we will watch the toughest games there. All teams have similar level and everything can happen. Borussia Dortmund is the favorite but their place is not secure. Sporting became champion in Portugal after 18 years, Ajax is like a factory, they have promising young talents. Beşiktaş is the best and only Turkish side and can beat all odds here. I'm patiently waiting for first matchday.
Indeed Group A games will be very tight ones and those 3 teams should not lose a single point against unlucky Brugge. Group B is also interesting since teams level are pretty close: ATM, LFC, Milan +/- Porto. Group C matches will be very Unpredictable except maybe for Dortmund but we all know how laggy they are. Group D, E and H winners shouldn't be hard to tell tho. Group F and G teams are close enough to know precisely the favorite teams to pass.
