Inter were lucky that they were able to equalized so quickly, I think that if Juventus were able to hold onto the winning score longer it might have forced Inter to make more mistakes in wanting to score, but Inter quickly equalized and looked more active in wanting to win. A draw was a more acceptable result for Inter than for Juventus, as they were able to maintain their advantage in the away match.
Inter Milan wanted to win obviously in order to increase the gap between them and Juventus but even a draw is considered as a positive result after all. They prevented Juventus from jumping in front of them and made milan get closer from Juventus as well. The gap is 2 points between Inter and Juve while it is 6 points from Milan which is quite safe. In this round there is Roma that profited the most from the defeat of Fiorentina and Atalanta to advance by two places, they jumped directly to the 5th spot. |

And just like that , Real Madrid is back on 1st place in LaLiga but we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if they will keep up as Girona still needs to play their game against Bilbao and whoever thinks this game won't be nice , I said he will be mega wrong. Why ? Well Bilbao is on 5th place having an extraordinary season so far , scoring goals , playing offensive but also defensive and have a great chemistry between players and same goes for Girona because this team is having their best season in history of the club and that will push them further and further in order to try and reach the impossible of becoming LaLiga champs.  Girona ambition is good and they are in the right path. It will be nice to see them winning La Liga but I think this might be just a dream and the players will wake up one day from it.. Real Madrid is doing good with the return of Bellingham and the nice performance from Rodrygo. They are now 1 point in advance from Girona.
I am impressed with the devotion of Sergio Ramos to break every possible record about cards mainly the red card. I was told that this is his thirty celebration of red cards?  |

Tottenham continues to suffer bitter defeats and this time they lost at home with a narrow score of 2-1, even though Celso managed to score a quick goal in the 22nd minute.
Tottenham Hotspur missed 9 points in last 3 games otherwise they would be first in the ranking with a safe points difference from the second team. Aston Villa did a good job turning the table upside down on Spurs head and picking a victory. If Tottenham will continue like that then they will find themselves overtaken by Manchester United or Newcastle in the next round since these two teams will face each other and Spurs will have to face Manchester City! |

We already talked this , but yes this season is only between Alnassr and Al Hilal, but i want to rush into the next one, because in the next one with more reinforcement arriving from europe from top quality and more teams solid, we can have an amazing tournament with easily 6 teams fighting.
Indeed, the upcoming seasons seem to be more difficult and challenging for so many teams. In this season, we have a total dominance so far by Al-Hilal. They are holding the first spot since the beginning, receiving few goals, scoring many, the last match came by 9 goals scored by 7 of their players including Malcolm hattrick. In this round apart from Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, the other top teams missed points. The competition is limited in these two teams for the moment. |

Nice is the only team in Europe's top 5 leagues that has conceded the fewest goals with only 4 goals. This is an extraordinary record for Nice this season and it is also what keeps them on track to compete for the title this season. Today Nice will face Toulouse at home and it looks like they will maintain their record of conceding a few goals well.
Nice didn't receive many goals but they didn't score much either. Having a good defence line without scoring many goals will guarantee a draw and victories at best. That way they will remain in top but they couldn't guarantee the title. I expect them to win vs Toulouse in today's game and maintain the 1 point difference between them and PSG. I am worried about Marseille more than Nice. This old top team got a draw vs Strasbourg and when we added it to the bad results they got previously, then even the 9th place could not be obvious to maintain.. |

I was disappointed also that the match ended in a draw. Actually, I wanted Manchester City to win the match, I wanted them to maintain the first position, but they had the opportunity to do that, but they wasted the chance. Manchester City had the opportunity to win the match, we all say a lot's of opportunity, which they wasted in the match. The match really looked easy for them, but the only issue they had was that they couldn't score in the match. Alvarez had some pretty nice opportunities in the match, but he wasted them all. Manchester City are now in the second position, they couldn't maintain the first position, let's hope they will be able to climb back to the first position soon.
Arsenal jumped at the last minutes over Manchester City and Liverpool after they inflicted damage in each other  Seeing the coming matches, gunners should keep the first position until the first week of December then they risk to drop off points against Aston Villa and eventually Brighton or Liverpool itself by the end of this year. Manchester City in the other hand will have harder games vs Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.. |

Leverkusen won against Werder Bremen, they kept their scoring abilities alive and they delivered well in their performance yesterday, the game was fully dominated by Leverkusen and this speaks the fact that they're not a team to be taken for granted, big ups to Alonso and his tactical managerial skills...
Bayer Leverkusen is an annoyance for Bayern Munich this season. They are not only getting victories in rows but they are also winning big, which means the team is quite solid and strong until now. Xabi Alonso improved the team a lot and the players are doing great football over there. For Tuchel's team, they're good at what they do, their win yesterday wasn't so much tangible as they didn't make a huge goal difference, they shouldn't relax or else that which is behind them will overtake them further, It's now beautiful to watch the number of competitors in the Bundesliga rise and it's definitely making German football fun to watch.
Bayern Munich is winning in rows also but the number of goals scored by them differ a lot from a game to another. When you see the stats, you have the feeling that Bayern Munich attack line is better than Leverkusen since they scored much but this includes the 8 goals scored by them vs Darmstadt and 7 goals vs Bochum. 15 goals from 43 were scored in just 2 games. |

Atletico Madrid are doing well in some games that gave them good opportunity to increased their points to 31 points and they are now in the 3rd position in the la Liga league table to moved closed to Girona that is maintaining the second position over some games now, and it has given them the opportunity for people to begin to see them like the team that will battle with Real Madrid in the final in this season.
It was expected to see Atletico Madrid overtake Barcelona's position in the third spot after Barcelona lost 2 points against Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid victory against Mallorca yesterday with a single goal. We should mention that Atletico Madrid still lacks one more game comparing to Barcelona, so the gap might be 3 points for the same number of matches played. Girona will face tomorrow Athletic Bilbao home and are expected to win. Bilbao isn't an easy opponent and they are 5th for the moment. Real Madrid in the other hand, will face Cadiz and this should be an easy match for them. We might see Girona and Real Madrid in the first spot with the same number of points tho. |

Ajax played their best game this season - they destroyed Vitesse 5:0 at home.
-snip
agree, it was probably best game that Ajax played this season and it is a sign that this international break did them good, I expect to see them climbing the leaderboard in following weeks, and eventually join play-off competition PSV is unstoppable at the moment, they are simply destroying all opponents Hopefully Ajax will return to winning for good this time. The last victory came with a lot of goals but it was against the last team in the standings. Same goes for Volendam. Almere isn't that top, yet they got a draw with them. A quite close opponent was Heerenveen and they knocked it with 4 goals to 1. Ajax scored 13 goals in these 4 matches which is equal to the number of goals scored in the first 8 matches. There is an improvement for sure and they should keep up that way! |

The first hurdle when making his debut as Napoli coach was overcome well by Mazzari and this away win against Atalanta put Napoli back on track. In this match we finally saw Kvaratskhelia being productive again and Napoli scored an early lead through him. The narrow lead was clearly not enough to secure victory and Atalanta also managed to reply to the goal through Ademola Lookman.
After experiencing a deadlock, Napoli finally introduced Elmas as supersub to replace Politano in the 63rd minute and as a result he scored Napoli's second goal in the 79th minute and closed the victory with a score of 1-2. A good result when Napoli lost Osimhen who was still injured and even without him Napoli could still have won this match.
Napoli were able to score first then score a second goal after the draw to get 3 points and be able to stay close to the other top teams and at the same time get a securing gap from Atalanta just behind them. I said get closer from top teams since Milan is leading right now with 1 goal vs Fiorentina which isn't an easy match otherwise Napoli would be in front of them. There is still 30 minutes to go in that match and Milan seems to be in control. |

the difference is in the goals received so if Celta Vigo could fix this issue, they can collect a point at least.
Celta Vigo didn't receive any goal, thus they were able to collect a point from Valencia. I am not surprised with such result. In the other matches, Sevilla and Sociedad match looks quite competitive and of course we are waiting if Barcelona or Real Madrid will drop points in their away matches.
Barcelona started the first match from the ones that I mentioned and here we go with the first points loss after Barca draw vs Rayo Vallecano. That way, the gap will be bigger and ATM could overtake them.. |

Lazio lost again.
So the Maestro of Calcio, called Sarri is not great after all in opposition to what the press said to us for years.
With this win rate, they are already out for the Top 4 and out from the next Champions League.
Lazio is in its worst form since many years. They can't keep positive results for long, even when they are leading they receive goals and end up losing points. This time was a catastrophic failure vs Salernitana since that was the first victory of the last team in the ranking.. Quite sad result 
Atalanta and Napoli match started few minutes ago and the result is still 0 - 0. The odds are the same for both teams right now according to bookies. |

If Manchester City can win this match Manchester City will continue to be at the top of the standings and Liverpool will not succeed in taking over first place.
Do you have the feeling that Liverpool will take the first place this season? I mean they might take it temporarily but for how long? I don't find them very stable although they improved a lot comparing to the previous seasons. In today's game, Manchester City weren't able to win and a draw between these two top teams seem to be logical. That will be a good opportunity for the other 3 teams behind them to get closer or even top them. I am talking mainly about gunners which have a game against Brentford today and are expected to win. |

Well, I saved my money yesterday. Lost a lot as I said before on Monaco last year, didn't want to bet on them much this year but just the way they've been playing recently it almost almost made me fall for them.
Now please for Nice to get it back, don't let PSG sit for one moment.
It didn't take long for PSG to regain the lead, yesterday they beat Monaco and today Nice need to beat Toulouse to hold on to PSG and maintain their one-point lead. But what I was talking about is happening, Enrique has adjusted the game and now PSG are becoming the same as before, and if Nice cannot hold on to PSG, then they will lead in the championship with a big advantage. The question is for how long Nice could stay as competitive for PSG and another question about the fluctuations of PSG and whether they could keep winning or not. For now, the 4 points difference between PSG and Nice are reassuring. Since Nice are expected to win then 1 point difference is nothing and the tension on PSG will remain high this season. Marseille and Lens failure and previously Lille, made the table of Ligue 1 quite unstable with a huge change every year except for PSG until now of course. |

Finally LaLiga is back and I can watch Valencia playing today and hopefully they will take 3 vital points and move to 7th place overall with just 1 place beneath European places. They will play against Celta Vigo , a team who forgot how it feels to win as they only have 1 victory in 13 games and this season looks kinda over for them as I don't think they can avoid relegation to LaLiga2.
Valencia is expected to win especially when they have the support of their fans near them. In the other hand, as you said, Celta Vigo is no longer a threat for the other teams, their stats are bad but if you look closer, you will notice that there isn't a big difference between the two teams in terms of goals forwarded, the difference is in the goals received so if Celta Vigo could fix this issue, they can collect a point at least. In the other matches, Sevilla and Sociedad match looks quite competitive and of course we are waiting if Barcelona or Real Madrid will drop points in their away matches. |

Al-Nassr is doing good and Cristiano Ronaldo is topping all scorers in Saudi Pro League with 15 goals scored in 14 matches. Not that much but quite impressive for someone in his age. They are second for the moment with 4 points difference from Al-Hilal assuming they will win also tomorrow vs Al-Hazm.
Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad continue its bad results and not sure if they could continue like that and keep their chances for AFC Champions League.

And after seeing the final result, I was also not that surprised by PSG's victory at home with a quite fantastic score even though Monaco also put up quite a good fight. However, it must be realized that PSG is still much stronger when competing at home in this match and with this victory, now PSG will still be at the top of the standings very comfortably because even if Nice can win they still won't be able to overtake the points that PSG has.
Monaco lost more points than what they win in the last five games and that helped PSG and Nice overtake them. The difference between PSG and Nice is 4 points so they will remain first during this round. PSG scoring 5 goals was fantastic. Not because the number of goals done by them was great but because they knocked it in Monaco face. Hard moments there for Monaco... |

Koln 0 - 1 Bayern Munich scored by Harry Kane. A victory is a victory but I expected more goals from Bayern players. They attacked a lot without being effective and lucky.. They are first in the table again until we see how Bayer Leverkusen will perform tomorrow in front of Werder Bremen in their home home. In another story about Bundesliga, Union Berlin which sacked its coach since the successive defeats they got, has appointed a new manager and his assistant Marie-Louise Eta which is the first female to get that spot in the history of Bundesliga. I don't know why I am so optimistic about the future of Union Berlin |

I was wondering why the match between Eritrea and Congo was not played and I found it that the government pulled the whole team out from World Cup qualifiers.
My eyes when I read the answer! The gouvernement has a real problem about sports.. Players are managing to escape once they visit another country and recently some females run out of a town abroad..

Messi vs Ronaldo still the best comercial thing ever in the world of football, so until they play for their antional teams and play at certain level in this kind of leagues, we are gonna see this games replicated. Right now is not other duality or competition betwen two footballers, maybe in the near future can be Mbappe against Haaland but i dont really know.
Yeah, but there are plenty more talented players, and it's usually the teams who compete against each other as they have many great players. Having only two players as the headline is a bit too much really. It's football in the end, a sport where every team member matters. Football fans want to see some drama between big clubs facing each others but also between top players. Messi - Cristiano Ronaldo duality was one of the longest and an interesting one until Ronaldo decided to run out of Spain. So, people are trying to find a new dual. Mbappe - Haaland seem to be a good one except it is hard to see this happening in domestic league since Mbappe is unlikely to move to EPL but we might expect Haaland moving from England to Spain if he achieve what he wants. |
