The difference in level and tension in different groups of the Champions League is considerable this season. But you know things like that can happen in the Champions League draw. It strikes me that Atletico Madrid has been eliminated. With Juventus' current form, the elimination comes as no surprise, but I also didn't think Benfica would do so well in this group. 2 x not lost to PSG is already a world achievement of course. Last year they also reached the quarterfinals, but this year that will no longer be the target. Juventus can go and see if they can achieve something in the Europa League, but in theory they could also be relegated to the Conference League?

Juventus will make an all-or-nothing attempt to finish 3rd in the group. Getting 4th would of course mean a big downfall. As far as the competition is concerned, it is important to collect points every week, if the game is not so special then it does not matter to the supporters at the moment. We will not see the Juventus from a few years ago that became champion of the competition for 10 years. I also wonder how it is that they have become so bad in contrast to the other seasons other teams. AC Milan was out of the picture for a while, but after last year's championship they have completely revived. For Atalanta it is also still waiting for the real big success, winning the cup or the championship.

I think it doesn't even matter anymore whether Union Berlin wins or not. If they win, they are above Bayern Munich but the difference is only 1 point. And Bayern are going to be champions anyway. Perhaps Union Berlin should adjust its expectations a bit and be satisfied with a top 8 ranking for example. It is impossible for them to keep up with this pace of the first 7 races. But who knows, they could also compete for the top 5, but I expect Borussia Dortmund will still be 2nd and it remains to be seen to what extent RB Leipzig can recover.

In the league, Real Madrid seem to have better credentials, but if Barcelona can also win such matches through Lewndowsky, then they have a serious chance at the championship. They have missed a striker like him in recent years, and Real Madrid have had one in the form of first Ronaldo and now Benzema. That determines whether you get 1st or 2nd. With Lewndowsky on board, Barcelona has serious chances to win trophies. The competition, but also the cup and the Europa League are also promising.

Also in the Juventus game it seemed for a long time that there would be no goals. But Juventus survived and are still able to take the game. In this phase of the competition it is only important that you win matches, that is not necessary for the moment with eye-catching football. Winning matches is good for confidence, even if you haven't played well. Juventus must continue to take points and then try to regain form. Too bad it's taking a long time for Pogba to get fit. Especially the elimination in the CL was a big disappointment for Juventus.

So you see how valuable a player like Lewandowsky is to a club. The whole match Barcelona was slightly better, but until the 93rd minute it was 0-0 and that also seemed to be the final result. Important points for Barcelona in the battle for the championship, but it was very difficult we can say. Real Madrid will be disappointed, because otherwise they could have expanded their lead over Barcelona even further. It does indicate the mental resilience of Barcelona that they have kept their faith and still managed to take the win.

November 6th then it's finally time and we have the Ajax - PSV match. Still fairly early in the beginning in itself, but the interests are already considerable. Ajax is 4 points ahead of PSV and with a win that will be 7. A pretty big difference, if you consider that Ajax should actually be able to win all matches. Normally, matches against PSV, Feyenoord and AZ may result in a loss of points here and there. PSV seems to be more vulnerable. It is necessary for PSV not to lose this match, otherwise the championship can be decided quickly. Even though Ajax doesn't play its best football, I think Ajax doesn't lose many points compared to the rest of the competition. Only PSV can seriously participate in the championship, Feyenoord and AZ are lacking in quality and especially at Feyenoord the grapes are sour after the defeat in Austria for the Europa League. That can be a long time coming on a team.

When we talk about Germany, that is a team that can become world champions but occasionally has really bad matches lately. That wouldn't have happened a few years ago. In Brazil they became world champions and pulverized Brazil with big numbers. 4 years ago in Russia they didn't even make it through the group stage and that was a complete fail. They will want to take revenge. At the European Championship in England they lost to England, but they all played home games. This Germany can also beat anyone. Will be a serious showdown in the group stage against Spain. There they lost 5-0 a while ago? from. And if you come in 2nd in the group, you automatically play against a number 1 from another group. That can be a very difficult draw with a bit of bad luck.

This is going to be a strong sequel in the Europa League. We are getting some Champions League dropouts who should normally have gone on like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. But we now also see Ajax in the Europa League. I think it's a lot stronger now than last year. Great matches are Ajax Manchester United or Barcelona - Arsenal for example. At the bookmakers, the odds of Arsenal and Man United will have risen considerably by now as some very strong teams are now joining the next round. Would Arsenal and Man United still be favourites? I don't think Arsenal is better than Barcelona eg.

They have a nice platform with a wide range for players. Both sports betting but also to play in a casino. This seems to me to be a site with enormous potential and possibilities. Limits on all bets are also significant. What remains to be done is to build a solid reputation. That's very important. In any case, I wish the site every success and this site could be an important and influential newcomer. I will definitely keep an eye on the developments of this site.

Gambling can sometimes take quite twists and turns. And if you are really dealing with someone who is heavily addicted to gambling, close friends but also family can become victims. It will not be the first time that a relationship breakup has occurred as a result of a gambler who does everything he can to get money. Friendships can also break, but it's better to confide in a good friend and tell them about your problem than to make fun of him. After all, that's what friends are for and every addiction can eventually be overcome. But you must persevere and certainly not betray your friends and family. It certainly won't make you feel any better.

Ajax is suddenly 4 points ahead of the rest of the teams. Together with PSV they are a lot stronger than the rest. But we have seen strange things in the past, Ajax was also a whole lot of points ahead last season and that lead has almost completely evaporated. I think Ajax will become champions, but PSV did beat Arsenal in the Europa League tonight. 4 points is still easy to bridge. Twente is also having a good season and the relegation worries of a few years ago are a thing of the past. Sparta is also doing very well, last year they played at the bottom of the lowest teams for almost the entire year.

It was a pleasure to see PSG at work this week. They now also have a good coach who can get along well with his players. You see a lot more fun with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. To score 7 goals is quite decent, even if they didn't play against a very strong team. They are the big favorite for the title in my opinion, but there are more teams. Last year they also had great opportunities but they had a lot of bad luck against Real Madrid. I don't see them winning this year but you don't know, the ball is round. And how do we actually measure Bayern Munich this season? In the competition it is mediocre, but in the CL everything has been won against Inter and Barcelona so far. A nice outsider for the title would be Napoli.

Liverpool is a team that can win or lose against anyone at any time. There's nothing to say about that. They lost to the number last last week and the week before they beat Manchester City. I don't really know why it is not going well for Liverpool in the competition, because in the CL things are going well and they are qualified for the next round. Losing finalist last year. Mane has left but that cannot possibly be the problem of this form crisis in the competition? They will really have to win many games in a row to be able to compete in the title fight. And how will United do this season? It can still go either way with the United team.

Arsenal still suffered a defeat today. I saw the line-up and saw that Arsenal didn't play in the strongest line-up. Why would they anyway? They are already through in the Europa League and they have to save their strength for the competition. I don't think Arsenal are very interested in the Europa League either, the chances of winning the cup are very small. In that respect, it is better to focus on the competition, which is much more highly regarded and they are still in 1st place in the ranking. And you also don't want to get injured during the European competitions.

The media is quite full of praise for Manchester United's performance in recent games. They say that they have achieved a high level, especially in the last game and that they have played football the way Ten Hag wants them to play it. Maybe you don't need Ronaldo for that? Maybe some players don't feel comfortable with Ronaldo in the team either, it's a bit of a selfish player according to various media and some players feel the same way. I think Leicester has climbed out of the deep valley and can now turn up the road. Meanwhile, Liverpool fell even further behind last week with a defeat to the league's number one last. One of Liverpool's worst starts ever.

Ronaldo will be welcome at Napoli, but does Napoli need that at the moment? Playing and performing better than they do now is actually unimaginable, and with a player like Ronaldo in a team, the strategy will also have to be partly adjusted. Would Napoli want to take that risk? I think Ronaldo can play better with a team that is not really top at the moment, that is just below it and that he can be an added value to that team. In that respect, Manchester United is a good team for Ronaldo, but if you are never allowed to play, it ends quickly of course. I think he should also give up his ridiculously high salary demands.

Everyone wins and loses gambling. That is a fact and always will be. Losing at gambling is never fun, but you have to make sure you don't get tilted, because then things go from bad to worse of course. And everyone has had a bad temp at one time or another, just so much so that we've all had a lucky win once in a while. That makes it fun and ensures that the adrenaline keeps flowing, so to speak. But make sure you don't spend your whole assets with gambling.

And then it was finally done for Barcelona in the Champions League. With Inter's home win, elimination for the Spanish superpower would be a fact and Inter is now 3-0 ahead and the game still lasts a few minutes. It is sad that a club like Barcelona has already fallen in the group stage for the second year in a row. I also think Bruges' performance today is remarkable, played perfectly in the Champions League, won everything and then suddenly they are now 0-4 behind at home. Maybe they have set up a lesser team, I can't imagine that this is the same team that made a big impression. Soon we will also have Ajax - Liverpool.

It was 0-0 for a long time in the match Zagreb - AC Milan. But suddenly it got hard. Just before half-time, Milan came to 0-1 and due to 2 goals in the 2nd half it is already 0-3 and the game seems to have been played with 25 minutes remaining. AC Milan is doing good business in the standings and is back on track to qualify for the next round. They can be thankful to Chelsea who won against the competitor tonight in an away game. I am curious in the last round, AC Milan may play at home and with a draw already through to the next round. What a spectacle in the PSG game.
