Apart from the good performance from Napoli today that managed to destroy Sassuolo there is a fact that only now they have a scary duo this season namely Victor Osimhen with 4 goals, 1 assist and Khvicka Kvaratskhelia with 8 goals, 10 assists. It is a great achievement and they will be predators for all the teams in the champions league.
Its always very good to have such duo in one team, this always gives a phycological puch for all the team and i believe this year Napoli can do something great, i expect at least second place in la Liga or champoins league sumi final |

Is there something wrong with Atletico? Because if I consider from Atletico's schedule at least they can be more focused on La Liga, and even this is the right moment for Atletico to get full points. Meanwhile Atletico's odds before the start of the match were around @1.57 but Atletico could only win in statistics, while the final result was Atletico lost by Cadiz, a team in the relegation zone.
It was a dramatic win for Cadiz because they were able to score a quick goal and also just managed to secure the win in the last minute of the match, I really don't think Atletico will lose in that way against the bottom team in the table. Because matches like this usually happen when they are fighting for important positions, because even though Cadiz can win dramatically like this Cadiz still can't get out of the relegation zone.
Yes, the result of this match made me very surprised. Atlético Madrid, which was previously seeded, was defeated by the relegation zone team, Cadiz. With this defeat, Los Rojiblancos' position in the top four of the standings is threatened. I see this season the Atlético Madrid team is very different, even though there are many class players but this season's performance is very slow and it seems there is no passion. The proof they are now eliminated early in the Champions League. Diego Simeone must immediately find a solution if there is a problem with the team and immediately raise the dignity of Atletico Madrid again. La Liga gets boring when there are no more serious challengers. So therefore I really hope ATM will bounce back soon and make La Liga competitive again. That was a crazy match and the last and pure dramatic moment, after Felix equalizer goal no one thought that cadiz can score another goal and i expected that they will try hard to keep the score but sobrino had another opinion |

Chelsea are absolutely crazy, I like to call it that after the humiliating defeat against Brighton. I don't think this is a very expected result after in the previous 2 matches they also only produced 2 points. This is definitely a setback for them, I hope they will fix it soon.
4-1 was a big score for Brighton's win, and it seemed that many predictions and observers were in disbelief about this result before the match.
That was really surprising but such things happen on the premier league from time to time, Chelsea had very good performance in the past rounds and no one expected such situation but it still a normal thing in football |

Brighton will host Chelsea at the Falmer Stadium this week. Chelsea can show a change since Graham Potter joined to replace Thomas Tuchel who is considered to have failed to manage Chelsea. Brighton are also good but that they did only at the start of the season and now they have gone downhill. Without a win in 5 games, the situation is the opposite of what they achieved at the start of the season, and this makes me believe Chelsea can steal a win at Brighton.
I think Tuchel has not failed to educate Chelsea players, if you compare Tuchel achievements during his time at Chelsea, he has brought Chelsea various trophies and it doesn't deserve to be called a failure. The reason Tuchel remains sacked is his stubbornness that cannot to follow the wishes of the sponsors. He emphasizes the game to win while football clubs still need sponsors to get funding. And finally, Tuchel character is not so accepted among Chelsea stakeholders. Luckily, Graham Potter was also a candidate for the coach who was chosen correctly, namely Chelsea's performance did not go down again and Potter succeeded in stabilizing the performance of Chelsea players from Tuchel hands. I think the coach did many good things for Chelsea and fans should consider all his efforts, what happened with tuchel is a normal thing and every club will someday change its coach so i think tuchel still a very good coach and Chelsea was really strong in his period, you simply need to look at the trophies |

Lewandowski don't have anything to do with Ballon d'Or for the fact Barcelona could qualify in champions league. One of the problem of Barcelona they never took the Champions League game serious and I think this the reason why it ended up this way. I'm not very sure if Barcelona can be very consistent in laliga, but Barcelona can be consistent and Lewadowski is also consistent in scoring their is to win atleast something. This time Ballon d'Or is for players like Halland, sadio Mane and others.
Especially now that they are out of the Champions League it is clear the chances of getting the Ballon d'Or are difficult for Lewa now. All he has to do is play well at the moment in order to set an individual record as a striker in La Liga. Right now it's difficult for Lewandowski regardless of anything especially with Barcelona's current condition, but it's nice to see him competing in the Europa League because as far as I know this is the first time I've seen him play in this competition  . Lewa is really unlucky, he did really well in every season but the ballon dor still not in his closet, the player is a real scoring machine but unfortunately there is always something that prevent him from getting the ballon dor and i don't think things will be different this season |

Leicester can be the most unlucky team in the league now. Because right after they started a two-match winning streak their next opponent is going to be Manchester City. Manchester City have been far from impressive in their last three games, against Copenhagen, Brighton and Dortmund respectively, so they themselves have to be at their best if the are to beat Leicester City in this game, a team that looks to be in resurgent mood. Leicester City are struggling to get out of the drop zone, City on the other hand need a win to take them top of the table, at least until Arsenal plays their own game, but since City are playing in the lunch time kick-off they'd want to do their own job and put some pressure on Arsenal who might start their own game in second place. Having said that, it is going to be a very interesting and attacking game overall, i think a couple of goals will be scored, from the both sides actually, but City are better positioned to come out on top. Loosing this match seems the end of everything for leicicter and the players will surely try their best to get at least 1 point and why not get the motivation to recover from their catastrophic season starting while man city need to go without any mistake to prevent arsenal from extending the gap |

Barcelona lost at home to Bayern Munich. Barcelona couldn't get a shot on target throughout the match. The game was going in the middle but for some reason they couldn't find a goal. So now they will continue their journey in the Europa League.
Group D is one of the most complicated groups. It is still not clear who will go out and who will go to the Europa League.
Today game between Barcelona and Bayern Munich shows the level that Barcelona are, I really think Barcelona did a mistake allowing Aubameyang leave, he is a world class players he proves that in Germany when he was playing with Dortmund were he pair very well with lawendowski, when Barcelona signed the Poland international I thought xavi will partner them together but laporta couldn't resist the offer from Chelsea's, now the are just a minor team with big names, inter played today with four good strikers and Plzen couldn't stand them. I don't think aubameyang leaving is a problem or a mistake and i don't think the problem is in Barcelona attack but their weakness is in the middlfiel and the defence, they need to find quickly some solution to save the season and at least play for la liga title |

Seems that Italy and England can't be separated  . It will be interesting to see their games again. same, i would love to see it them face each other again, this creates more will to win between the two teams, i will try and predict from now that England will on top by the end of the group stage phase. |

This is my guess and it is based on the subtle wording that Guardiola gives in interviews when asked about the future.
As for dominance in the Premier League, for us ordinary fans it looks like a cool achievement, but the sheikhs are ambitious guys. They created literally the most expensive club in the world but have not been able to get the main trophy for so many years. Do you really think that their patience is endless?
It seems to me that they do not care about statuses, reputation, etc. the most important thing is the result, at the moment it is not there and if it is not after the purchase of Haaland, then Guardiola will be fired.
Speculation about the future of Guardianola in Man City seems to arise because of Man City's draw with Copenhagen in the UCL and Man City's defeat against Liverpool. I personally see that this is a normal thing because so far Man City's achievements at UCL are still good. we have to give guardianola another chance to prove himself capable of giving the UCL trophy to man city. Guardiola will have a long future at man city. i don't think we will see Guardiola leaving Man city without winning the champions league, he probably is staying there for that reason, and i'd guess and say that even if they don't win it this season, he won't leave, probably Man City managers won't let him go too. |

After having a great debut with Newscatle, now that Man United will face Tottenham Hotspurs now as a home team by Man United will this be even more difficult?
What we know is that Tottenham are still working hard to keep getting points so they don't fall behind Mancity or Arsenal who are a few points adrift, on the other hand, if I choose to bet on Man United, there's little doubt that they are not consistent enough even what we guess is always out of the question. His real guess is that Ten Hag is still hard to beat any other great team except Arsenal which he has beaten.
But it will be interesting between Ten Hag and Conte with his strategic ability.
Do you think that Liverpool are not a great team anymore, or have you forgotten that United beat them?  With the Arsenal-City game canceled due to the Europa League (which was a surprise to me, what the hell?), the United-Tottenham game will definitely be the highlight of the tour. In fact, it’s even difficult for me to say who will be the favorite here, although on paper Tottenham looks stronger. On paper and in real life Tottenham is stronger than Manchester United and Tottenham will likely win the match. This is because Manchester United defence is good for now and their midfield is also fair but the finishing is poor . Man U find it difficult to score against a small club Omonia in the Europa League the extended to Newcastle in their last week outing. So it will be near impossible for them to score Tottenham then it is very very difficult to defend Kane for 9g0 minutes without him getting a goal by crook or by hard work In the last matches, they are really ineffective on goal paths. It should not be forgotten that they won in overtime in the Omonia game. They also played a goalless draw with Newcastle. I can say that they need to fix their problems in the goal paths again. They really have no chance of winning if they don't score against Tottenham. in the last 3 matches between Man Utd and Tottenham shows that red devils found a way to score multiple goals against Tottenham, but this year seems different since Man Utd scored only 13 goals in 9 matches, i don't we will see Man utd winning even though they are the favorites, things are different this season. |

Lewandowski is still not a winner despite scoring in some important games but you are right it has to rotate the striker with some other young players, maybe it will be Lewandowski's impressive again like that's what Xavi has to do.
Midfielder Sergio Busquets also said he would no longer be a mainstay and would be replaced by Frankie De Jong I agree with the rotation of players, it needs to be done by a coach who in previous matches has seen how bad the performance of his players is. But of course the fatigue factor might make Barcelona not perform optimally in this El Clasico match. We know a lot of energy was drained when they played against Inter a few days ago, and it wasn't long before they had to face the ferocity of Real Madrid players who had prepared themselves for such a great and historic match. Basically Barcelona are having problems with their defense at the moment, but Xavi's strategy doesn't seem too good to be expected to produce much magic. The total number of shots produced is not proportional to the number of goals they have scored, meaning maybe the finishing of the players is not good. Fatigue may be possible because indeed they have always faced tough matches in the last few games but of course this is not an acceptable excuse especially for the fans. The defeat in El Clasico actually made this a painful defeat because this was a prestige battle and they lost now. Right now Xavi has to forget this and come up with a good plan to get out of his current situation which is a mission impossible but still doable in the Champions League. i could have said that fatigue has nothing to do with it and Real Madrid are just better, but we have seen them win only 1-0 in La Liga and lose to Inter which is a good team but their performance been bad this season, it shows that there could be something wrong like fatigue and exhaustion, that's why it is really important to have a good squad all the way to the players in the bench. |

a really strange ranking, with Milan and Inter close to Juventus and the medium-sized teams at the top. if our beloved teams don't get busy, this year they risk not going to the cups
I was also surprised by the current class. I think Inter, Milan and Juventus will remain strong candidates for the top spot. But if we look at the current performance, it is not surprising. They played unstable, they haven't been able to maintain the performance and mentality to keep playing well. A hectic schedule is not an excuse because they're an experienced team. I think they should quickly improve and take advantage of the transfer market next summer. the more teams that are good this season are on top, the harder it is for others behind to catch up, it will be very very tough for Inter and especially Juventus to get to the first spot, they need Napoli, Atalanta, Ac Milan, Roma and lazio all of them to drop points in multiple matches while Juventus and Inter don't, i don't think we will see very close fight for them for the title. |

Bayern Munich have once again shown that they are a great team ready to reclaim the Bundesliga title this season. Freiburg is a tough opponent but they were able to crush Freiburg with a very landslide score. I'm not wrong about those who doubted it a lot after getting unsatisfactory results a while ago. But today they showed that at the time it was luck not on their side. Bayern Munich are getting closer to Union Berlin, and I believe they will soon take over where they belong.
I never thought that Bayern Munich could crush Freiburg with a landslide score of 5-0. Munich performances were very strong, Freiburg, who had been outstanding since the start of the season, looked like a small team against Munich. Now that Munich is in second place, Julian Nagelsmann must be able to reclaim the first position from Union Berlin, Munich is only four points adrift of Union Berlin, they need time to take back the throne they lost some time ago. I never thought that Bayern would be able to win against Freiburg with such a big margin after Lewandowski left. The three forwards, Sane, Mane, and Gnabry, all had a really great game as well. The rhythm that Mane lost at Liverpool recently has returned to him. It took him some time to adjust to his new position as a striker with Bayern. However, I think they have found their chemistry, and I'm sure they will give Union Berlin a tough fight for the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich managed to score 20 goals in their last five matches in all competitions, including the one with Freiburg, not so long ago people were complaining about their performance and their coach, but they are getting back in shape for sure, no they have to win their next matches and hope for Union Berlin to drop points. |

If Mbappe, Neymar and Messi will continue to work together as they did last night, psg will go very far in champions league. Mbappe played excellent football and I must confess that Neymar is a machine. That guy is in another world of football, every of his moves gives me joy and makes me love football the more. The entertainment and the zeal he puts in football is much. I love Neymar
I think finally Kylian Mbappe has come to realize that he can't do it all alone without the help of his teammates Messi and Neymar that'why we saw that attitude of cooperation between him and them last night, a lot of people especially PSG fans complained about Mbappe's attitude but against Marseille Last night we saw a different Mbappe in the field of play, despite PSG not getting multiple goals but the ball communication between the attackers Mbappe, Neymar and Messi was spectacular and the assist that brought the only goal that gave PSG the victory came from Mbappe and Neymar did the finishing it was a night every PSG fan has been looking forward to and am glad that peace and cooperation has finally come to stay among the players. it was Mbappe's first assist in the league this season, even though he played a lot of matches, and PSG scored a lot of goals, maybe he is getting advice from other people and he knows that being so selfish could affect his image in the press and therefore in the eyes of football fans. |

why i like that football match because i can't predict who will win and who will lose, you think arsenal will bring home the trophy, but real sociedad also don't want to lose because he is a top 5 team in the spanish league this season, the game is very good this season, especially in the european league this season he has dominated in the group stage so far, so it is possible to have a chance to win
If you don't forget to look at the achievements achieved by Real Sociedad in the Spanish League, now look at Arsenal in the English League, which is still the leader of the standings there and is also the leader of the group standings in the Europa League this season. So if you think Real Sociedad has a chance to win, then Arsenal should have a bigger chance than Real Sociedad you say. i agree, he said that real sociedad don't want to lose because they are top 5 in La Liga and Arsenal are on top of one of the toughest leagues, the Premier League, real sociedad won't stand a chance there, also looking at the odds of the winner of Europa League, even Real Betis are more favorite than real sociedad, i think it's going to be between the two favorites, Arsenal and Man Utd, and Arsenal could focus more on the Premier League and man utd could steal it, forgot to mention Barcelona, it would be interesting to see the odds when they join Arsenal and Man utd for the race of the title. |

There is no denying that Brazil is a strong team. But the players of the Argentine team are very confident, they work hard during the game. With Messi now fully fit, Di Maria and Dybala will join the squad ahead of the World Cup matches, no worries. Besides, Argentina is probably 35 matches unbeaten so far.
Somewhere I read that although Argentina has won 35 matches on the trot, they never had an opponent from the UEFA. I don't know whether this is right. But they should not worry about the UEFA teams. None of the European teams are looking good at this point. Italy didn't even managed to qualify for the world cup, while England, Germany and France performed very poorly during the UEFA Nations League A. On top of that, I believe that the weather conditions in Qatar may favor the CONMEBOL teams more, when compared to the UEFA teams. that's a good point, weather in Qatar can play the difference there when UEFA teams face nations from Latin America, they are more used to the hot weather in certain places in their country, and UEFA teams can have some difficulties there, it's been a long time since Latin team won the world cup, i hope we can see it happen this time. |

congratulations to the french world class striker Kerim Benzema for winning the golden ball. Robert Lewandowski was certainly his toughest competitor but the difference between the two players was that one won the cl and the other did not.  it's not the only difference between the two, Benzema was more decisive than Lewandowski, his goals in the champions league got them to qualify in times where people thought that they're out of it, without forgetting his performance in La Liga too. |

All in all, a tough win for United. They may have shot on goal many times, but apparently not sharp enough all those times. Now those matches at this stage of the tournament don't say much, as they are all group matches and there is little pressure on United's game. Real Sociedad will win this group, but the difference between Sheriff and United is 6 points and Sheriff will not make up for that in this group. The real thrill and excitement will only begin in the Knock Out phase. I hope we get some nice draws then.
It is also not normal for the Real Sociedad to top a group that Manchester United is, in Europa League not even Champions League. Manchester United has to win Real Sociedad in the return match and will be able to top the table. If they don't top the table the people from the Champions League like Barcelona will come and hit them and they will still be struggling to escape another problem. So it is better they to the table and just be safe. i think that it doesn't matter if Man Utd are going to finish first or second, because they should be able to beat every team they face in this tournament if they want to win it, and i've seen them play better against stronger teams, so Barca would be a very good test for them. |

Atalanta 0-1 very bad
Atalanta Comeback @Doell 2-1 less than 5 minutes the match will be over you will get your bets including me betting for Atalanta to win parlay bet Now Atalanta are taking over the standings even if only for a while Napoli will take over the table tomorrow for playing at home The competition between these two teams is very fierce both are unbeaten. Their comeback is really interesting. After the fans were shocked because they conceded the first goal by Sassuolo, they were finally able to return the goal just a few minutes later, 2 goals. Too early to say bad performance for Atalanta. But this is certainly appropriate because Atalanta is indeed having a pretty good performance so far this season. The match ended with a 2-1 score for Atalanta's victory. 24 points in 10 matches is actually impressive for Atalanta, they're fighting for each point, in today's match they didn't score until they needed it, when they were winning, they didn't score more, it seems like they're trying to play things safely but it's working out for them. |

This is a very wonderful season for Lorient, they have played 10 matches so far in their League this seaso, they won eight of those matches drew one and lost one which is a very good stat. Then their past five matches are all wins for them, this is a very strong indication that the club will end in top 4 of the League One this season. For the match against Reims, they will endeavour to have a win in the match. At the worse scenario will be draw. They aren't ready to lose the match for any reason.
Everyone loses sooner or later - even the big clubs, and it's always "unexpected" so I wouldn't be so sure if the Lorient streak would continue. By the way, France has only three direct tickets to the Champions League and the gap from 4th place is only 4 points, so I would not be so sure about getting Lorient into the Champions League either. same, i don't think Lorient can keep up, Lille are getting back strong, Lens lost only one match so far, Marseille are very close, and Monaco can finish third easily, there is a lot of competition for the those places, and from all the names i mentioned, i can't pick Lorient to be the best of them. |
