In terms of the quality of the game this season PSG I think is much better as well as the players they have so it is very likely that they will be able to go further this season, I think it is very reasonable with the quality they have.
I don't think that PSG's game is optimal and consistent in Ligue 1, I don't think it will have a big impact because on the UCL stage, the tension in the game will be different and it will be much higher.
Yes they have not been able to fully utilize the potential they have in the squad. They have all the things a team needs, but that's not a guarantee that their game is more optimal. When talking about the Champions League, of course, it is very much different from Ligue 1. In the Champions League, it can be said that Paris Saint Germain got a real opponent. |

The same thing in the gambling market almost all bets lead to Manchester City @1.37 odds will continue to change before the match starts But I still want to remind that anything can happen in the match even in the final minutes sometimes this kind of thing is a trap  I am observing bets on other options like both teams to score, however Manchester United will do the best.  There will always be surprises in every game, somehow. It's a Derby game the players will be more motivated to do their best in a game like this. Honestly I personally see Manchester City more believe that Manchester City will win, but on the other hand I would like to see Manchester United do something unexpected even until they win the game, it will be more interesting. |

PSG's failure in round of 16 of the Champions League last season was the worst achievement in PSG's last three seasons in the Champions League. despite having won in Leg 1 of round of 16, but in the end PSG had to be eliminated in leg 2 after get resistance from Madrid and end with 3-2 on aggregate.
This will be the first season for PSG's new coach in the Champions League, Christophe Galtier has the main task of bring PSG not to repeat the same mistakes as last season. Based on PSG's activity in the transfer market this season, they appear to be focus on improving their defense and midfield with the deals of several new players like Vítor Ferreira for example.
Last season they were unfortunate to face Real Madrid early while they are destroying every team they stand in front of them. Previously, it was Mbappe the one that was shining while the others aren't playing top. This season is quite different. Messi is doing good, Neymar and Mbappe too. In addition to the reinforcement that was done, I assume they will be a hard challenger for City, Real Madrid and Barcelona. It might be true that they were unlucky to have to face Real Madrid early. But I don't think they will be able to get past at least the last 8, because last season almost all the teams that were in the top 8 were favourites. Until now I have not seen a satisfactory performance from Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. This season has been an opportunity for them because now their players are playing better. |

If am to pick who will win the match between manchester city vs Manchester United, I will choose manchester city because of my previous experience and confidence in Manchester city's ability to beat man united in the game with multiple goals scores. Manchester United is no were near Manchester City in the premier league.
It was an option that I think all neutrals would do the same, which is to bet on a Manchester City win. This doesn't need to be explained anymore, because looking at it from any point of view, it's clear that Manchester City is superior. Moreover, Manchester United has just risen and is still looking for the game they dream of. Their game now can still be said to be the foundation and its shape is still not clearly visible. |

I'm sure Napoli will get back to three points against Torino and stay at the top of the table. Their opponents this time got disappointing results in their 2 matches. It will certainly be an easy match if you look at it statistically. Napoli are on a positive trend right now, especially since they are one of the unbeaten teams with Atalanta.

While we are waiting patiently for Bundesliga dominance by Bayern to end, there is also France and psg who need to end their dominance of the league. I am not sure that of psg will happen this year or even next season. Because the players at psg are great players which their counterparts don't have.
We shouldn't forget also that England is entering into same shit, no matter that the league is competitive and has many big names, Guardiola and his boys have been dominating the league.
I will not rush to say that the dominance of bayern munich will end, this season is not over, the Bunbesliga still have a very long schedule of matches. everything is still very possible for bayern munich to return to the top of the standings. although it will take some time to get back to the top position. it's not easy, but so far they have only one defeat, although three of their previous matches ended in draws. but I'm sure, Bayern Munich will return to its previous form and achieve victories in the next matches. Agree with you that there is still plenty of time for Bayern Munich to return to the top of the table as before. In fact I think they will be in good form again in the near future. Moreover, those who are now above Bayern Munich have not played a match with Bayern Munich. If they win that game then Bayern Munich will easily regain control of the Bundesliga. |

Barcelona should now look to their future. Xavi has brought back the team's form. Barca are now able to balance the game. But what Messi has done for Barca will never be forgotten. Time will tell if Messi will return to Barcelona.
Even though Messi will return to Barcelona, I don't think it will be like Messi was at Barcelona. As you said what Messi has given should not be forgotten, but of course they have to look to the future instead of dwelling on the past. Now Barcelona must be able to print young seeds for their bright future. Because I see a lot of potential in this team. |

At first I didn't see the possibility of Juventus winning the serial A title, not even at this time that some regular good names left the club. The set of clubs that will compete for this title is still the set that competed last season. Ac, Inter, Roma...I don't consider Atlanta here, they can win matches, they can stop any club from winning the title but they will not win the title.
If you look at the table, there are Napoli, Atalanta and Udinese who may have a chance to win this Serie A League, while Juventus has no hope anymore because the points they have to chase are too far and their opponents up front are not easy so it will make it difficult for them to regain the top position. The difference of 7 points is not a very long distance when they are still at the beginning of the competition. It's only the first leg and there's still more than half a game left. The problem is the performance, don't get hung up on their points difference, I would agree more if you say that Juventus' game doesn't promise to catch up on points than to say that their points acquisition is very far from the first position in the standings. |

Messi in PSG was not the same like when he was in barcelona. I just said based on what i have been watching between when he was in barcelona and PSG, there are different things when he was in barcelona and PSG. When xavi and iniesta gone, messi still able to give very big contribution to the barcelona. The era for messi already gone and this is the fact. This time his performance in PSG was not so impressive like when he was in barcelona but i know that there are so many variables who affected his performance in PSG
Changing the club after very long period is definitely one of the hardest things that a player can encounter in his career, so what happened to messi in Barcelona is normal and he is doing better this season comparable to the previous one, Barcelona now is without messi and the team must find the right solutions to bring back Barcelona glory I think this is something that shouldn't be discussed anymore, I mean that now that Barcelona are slowly getting back into their game with Xavi, they have seen a lot of changes. If we continue to discuss of course, then it is endless because it is clear that Messi is one of the souls of the game at Barcelona. And also now that Messi is back slowly finding something he was missing when he played at Barcelona. |

Man City will definitely shift arsenal's position (sooner or later).. btw I laughed a little reading Arsene Wenger's words when interviewed and said that he believes Arsenal have a great chance of winning the EPL this season because of the effects of the Qatar world cup, what I think is whether he doesn't realize that many arsenal players also represent their country in world cup Qatar lol.
Obviously Manchester City are better than Arsenal, they have something Arsenal don't have. And I also think Manchester City will soon take the place where Arsenal are now. I trust Manchester City more than Arsenal even though they are improving. The big game will be the real determinant of Arsenal's strength. |

After seeing the latest Nations League games I can conclude that the main favorites this time won't be from Europe,European bigger teams are being in not a good condition and the one who probably is somewhat better which is Italy didn't make it to this tournament for this time.I think this will be disputed between Brazil and Argentina and I also predict a final between them.There are no other teams except the big European ones who can defeat Brazil or Argentina but seeing these European teams in a lot of difficulties it is only natural now that the World Cup trophy is not going in Europe this time.
The performance of countries from Europe is not in good condition right now, so it is natural to predict countries outside of that will be able to win the title at this World Cup. But I see Portugal is more prepared now, and maybe among the countries you mentioned Portugal is a consideration for me. Portuguese players who have played in various major leagues are in good form right now, and that is good news for the Portuguese national team. |

Even though Arsenal are in first place in the standings at the moment but for me that doesn't mean Arsenal are the best, but if yesterday Arsenal could win against Manchester United or at least get a draw then I might be confident today to decide the match against Tottenham. But because Arsenal still doesn't seem ready against a top team, then against Tottenham it could be a bad result for Arsenal whether it's a loss or maybe a draw. But because Tottenham have a coach who is firm on the pitch, it seems Conte can indeed make his players play more aggressively.
Yes indeed as you said, for now the leader of the table does not mean they can be said to be the best in the Premier League. Until now the big team that faced them was Manchester United, and even then they couldn't win the game. Maybe it's more correct to say that Arsenal are now playing better than last season which has earned them more confidence. |

Anyway, let's just enjoy those teams dominating the top four for Napoli, Atalanta, Udinese and Lazio, as usually they are only below the top four. With such a position, at least the competition will be more interesting if the big teams you mention rise up, whether the big teams you mentioned will all be able to end the season in the top four or maybe just one and two teams or none at all. So yes, I personally really like this position because this position at least shows that no team in Serie A can dominate the league from season to season, because even the reigning champions after Juventus' domination no one can maintain their performance.
Yes I agree, I enjoy the standings more as it is now. As you said the competition will get tougher. Moreover, no one dominates because their point difference is very close. I don't expect the reigning champions to defend the title again, nor do I expect the team that used to win the title to win the Scudetto this season. Wouldn't it be very interesting to see a new team win the Scudetto? |

Barcelona is a team that wants to win it all and they have to think like this. I dont think that Xavi dosent want to try and win the champions league this year. I think that would just be crazy if they dont try and win it with such a good team with so many superstars. I dont think their focus is only on Laliga i think they would even go harder on champions league
I think in terms of targeting, all teams will also definitely aim for the best result for the Champions League. But how big their target is, that's to be seen. Because all targets must first look at the ability of the team. I think Barcelona's class must have understood this and how strong their squad is in targeting the title. Of course Champion is the dream of all teams. |

There are less than 2 months left before 32 teams face off in 64 matches to determine the winner of the FIFA World Cup. The 2022 FIFA World Cup is going to be an awesome show. We're looking forward to watching the FIFA World Cup's opening match. Since we're heading to the biggest festival on earth, this game is sure to draw a big crowd. My excitement is high, but I am looking forward to a new country lifting it this time around. And you need to remember something very important. This is going to be the last world cup in current format. From the next world cup onwards, there will be a total of 48 participants, with increased representation from Africa and Asia. There is going to be much more diversity and we can expect to see countries such as New Zealand taking part in the tournament. So this is going to be the last edition, where the UEFA teams are dominating. We still don't know anything about the tournament structure in 2026, but length of the tournament is a concern. If there are additions from Africa and Asia this shows that there will be more participants from the world cup and of course it will be longer, Usually at every World Cup there will be singers who are ready to compose songs like what happened a few years ago, so I I'm sure this will be more exciting because as the year progresses, there must be something interesting and make this prestigious soccer party very lively. Not only that, this is an opportunity for every country, because they have a greater chance to take part in the biggest football party in the world. There will be a lot of diversity ready to be a new spectacle. Apart from that, there will be many potential players who have never previously gotten on stage because their country could not be a participant in this World Cup. I hope this is maximized by countries that rarely or never experience the World Cup atmosphere. |

I'm still waiting for the moment when top teams like Inter, Milan and Juventus find their best moments to return to the top four. There will be many changes in the standings if the current top four teams are not able to maintain their form, Roma are also struggling to take part in the elite position in the standings. It's interesting to see the competition in Serie A, there are so many big teams competing for a trophy and can also finish in the Champions League zone. It is not yet certain which team will finish in the order of one to four, because the competition still leaves a lot of games.
It's too hasty to talk about who will finish in the best place in the standings, because now the competition is getting tougher. Those who are predicted to occupy the top four, must now be thrown from that position. They are not completely stable, they are still struggling to finish one game at a time well. I feel the position now is like the Premier League, although not comparable but they are improving to achieve that. |

I think, Barcelona is now a new force in La Liga since Xavi was trusted to manage it.
Barcelona now, is one of the new forces that can break the dominance of Real Madrid to become champions this season. without doubting the greatness of real madrid, but now barcelona is a club that is really able to stop the domination of real madrid in La Liga.
Barcelona have not received defeat even since the pre-season tour before starting La Liga, including when they met Madrid a few months ago during Barcelona's Pre-season tour. Barcelona's first defeat was experienced in the second week of the UCL group stage against the kings of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich. This includes a good record since their fall at the start of last season, hopefully stay consistent at least until the last week end of La Liga to see who will secure the La Liga title this season. Now Barcelona have a different squad that they believe they can keep the game they created. The reason can be said that Xavi built from the bottom which Xavi started since he joined last season. I like what Xavi does about discipline, responsibility. And it is important for a team to be able to maintain what they have built so far. The process Xavi went through brought them the game we see today. |

It's no secret that Barcelona will dominate El Classico for many years to come. I'm looking forward to the El Classico at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Is October 16th going to make any difference for Barca and will they be able to destroy them in their own stadium on that day? The battle for first place in the Liga will be exciting when Barcelona and Madrid return with El Classico. Madrid will be comfortable in first place otherwise.
Both teams have their advantages and disadvantages, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have to take advantage of their opponents' weaknesses. Whoever among them can do that, then they will come out victorious. It's true that Barcelona and Real Madrid are now in good form, but that doesn't mean they don't have a shortage to exploit, and make it a win for them. |

At least in the last few games Napoli have learned from their mistakes and can provide an answer for their fans that they can bounce back and become number one at the top of the standings, now it seems that the toughest opponents who are ready to make Napoli collapse are the Atalanta and Udinese teams. Napoli must be careful with the team so as not to make the Napoli position eliminated.
Atalanta I'm still pretty sure they will be one of Napoli's toughest hurdles like the 20/21 season even though in the end Napoli again took over their place for UCL qualification But Udinese, I'm still not sure they will really be ready for the Serie A title let alone UCL qualification. Because there will be Lazio at the top of the standings, and we can see that in the last three seasons Lazio have never been eliminated from the Serie A standings despite often ending the season in the qualifying position of the Europa League. But their quality is always a concern because it always interferes with clubs who want to rise to the top of the standings such as Roma, Udinese, and others. It's interesting to see the competition in Serie A, I say there are 8 teams that can provide competition at the top for the best place. Napoli, Atalanta, Udinese, Lazio, Milan, Roma, Inter and Juventus are the teams that will be competing for the spot. Because it is certain that when all the teams I mentioned above meet, they will definitely make changes in the standings. Either from top to bottom or vice versa. Who is more dominant among the team, it will be easier to win the title. |

We thought Bayern didn't get affected much after Lewandowski leave but after first three games they went to downhill pretty fast. I've never expected four games in a row without getting them any win. On one hand I'm glad their domination of a decade may come to an end, competition bring more excitement to Bundesliga again. On the other hand this might be a temporary setback. I just wish Dortmund and other contenders use this opportunity and make some point difference. So we can see more competitive league for whole season.
I think, Lewandowski absence from Bayern Munich is really affecting the team in this season because they find it difficult to defeat all those small teams they used to defeated in last season. Bayern Munich coach need to work hard in this season to make their fans happy so that what happened to Chelsea coach will not happen to him, because the four matches they played no good result for the team. Dortmund players are very good in this season but I don't think they can finish this season well, because they are still lacking in the area of defense which is really affecting them sometimes not to achieve victory. I think now Bayern Munich fans are quite happy because they beat Barcelona in the Champions League, even though they didn't do the same in the Bundesliga. I think like that because Bayern Munich are too strong in the Bundesliga so with the points they're trailing now it's not too big of a problem for them. Because in the Bundesliga they still have a very long time to get back to their best and win their games. |
