The final result of the match between Barcelona and Atletico Bilbao was 1-0 for Barcelona to win. Even though they played with a squad that wasn't the main team, this time, they did their best.
Barcelona scored only one goal at a late time. I understand injuries affected the team but Barcelona is quite different from the previous season, a little weaker for me at least in La Liga. Last season they hardly receive goals. They got less than 5 goals for most of the season if I am not mistaken and this time they already received 10 goals after 10 matches. Barcelona are third right now following Girona which got the tie with Real Madrid. Barcelona's race to the title depends on El Clasico. If Barcelona showed team play in El Clasico in the same way, we hope that Barcelona will win. If the crucial players of Barcelona recover soon, then Barcelona will get more support to clear the point. By the way, Barcelona played well and got more points by trying for the league title.
The situation isn't very well for Real Madrid for the moment. Their game in Champions League is easier than Barcelona's one which might help them recovering faster and be less exhausted when facing each other. |

This season the Manchester Derby is very unbalanced because the strength of the Manchester United team is still inferior to Manchester City so the match will not be fierce enough even though it can also be interesting to see because there are still quite a lot of Manchester derby fans this season. Everyone can see from the results they have got this season after nine matches and it is very clear that Manchester City still has very good quality players so that Manchester City's performance is still much more mature this season even though one of Manchester City's mainstay players is still injured.
Manchester United performance isn't that good lately and I don't expect them to stand much against Manchester City unless City didn't play good in that match. City has its weakest moments too. In the match between Sheffield United and Manchester United, I don't understand why ManU played like that. They were playing vs the last team in the ranking which barely scoring and receiving a lot of goals. The penalty was a ridiculous mistake by McTominay.. What was he thinking about when he moved his hand away from his body inside the penalty area.. Such mistake could make them lose a whole game stupidly! |

Inter back on track, easy win for them versus Torino by 3-0.
Thuram is not a bad player after all
Inter is on the right track along with Milan, there is few turbulence from time to time but they are doing fine until now. Napoli recovered after they missed many points and hopefully Juventus fully recover and get back to the winners track especially in their next match vs Milan 
Sassuolo 0 - 1 Lazio after thirty minutes from the game start. Hopefully they can maintain this or add another goal since Sassuolo isn't that bad and could surprise Lazio at any time. |

The first priority for Strasbourg was to defend and don't let PSG to score a goal in this match but the fact about this strategy is mostly whenever you are trying to just take a draw or hope for the counter-attacks, you are always at the risk of losing the game because you can't defend for full game finally as I was expecting to see, PSG got the chance to score three times in this match.
Strasbourg improved comparing to the previous season and they could do better than what they did in this match in my opinion. PSG were able to score the few opportunity they had at the opposite of Strasbourg. PSG returned for now to the first spot since Nice result is still 0 - 0 vs Marseille and until Monaco face Metz tomorrow. I suppose they will not maintain this spot and Monaco will return first again tomorrow. |

Bayern Munich scored the third goal and so far everything is going their way. Mainz cannot even create a chance to make the game intresting with 15 minutes to go i think we can already say that Bayern Munich will win this match for sure. Leverkusen and Stuttgart are really grinding well.
All top teams in Bundesliga that played so far won their matches starting from Dortmund yesterday up to Bayern Munich today. It is nice to see Kane scoring again, Mainz were hopeless that match with 2 goals scored since the beginning of the game. That match result was expected anyway but what impressed me is the ability of Stuttgart to make successive victories and maintain a position among the top 4, before even Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Their match vs Union Berlin ended with 3 goals to 0, making Union look weak this season with many successive defeats |

Cristiano having a very good run right now, with goals in Portugal and in Alnassr in consecutive games, nice to see him replenish of faith, lets see how much time he can carry this fit.
When i see the alnassr, i cant believe how Lens let go Seko Fofana, he was their key player, and he is a great player.
Well Lens let him go and they are suffering right now in Ligue 1, sitting in the relegation zone.. I agree Cristiano Ronaldo is doing pretty well regarding his age. Al-Nassr are third for the moment in the ranking after Al-Hilal of course and Al-Taawoun, both these teams are doing impressive stuff especially Al-Taawoun since the names they have cannot be compared with the other teams. |

Things like this are always detrimental, it's controversial but what to do?
You and I can blame the referee for his bad decisions, but nothing can change. The score is 1-1 now and both teams are very evenly matched, it is a fact of this match instead of just blaming one moment why Real Madrid didn't score. The winning goal is still awaited, I hope 1-2 is a satisfactory result.
Sevilla 1 - 1 Real Madrid, less than 5 minutes between the two goals and a good opportunity for Barcelona to get closer from them. If Barcelona won vs Athletic Bilbao then the difference will be just 1 goal between them and Real Madrid.. This time Bellingham didn't score nor Vinicius Junior who didn't score much this season. The attack line of Real Madrid is worrying about the inability to generate many goals per match  They need a real striker for real. |

Even if it's over for Arsenal, I think they did great job just that the defense is so porous whereby Chelsea defense is solid so whatever the outcome of this match is I think Arsenal is playing an entertaining football as though winning a match is important and giving your fan a fantastic and entertaining display of talent is also a credit, so let's see how the match finally ends.
The game ended with Chelsea 2 - 2 Arsenal, that's a good result for Chelsea since it will boost the confidence of the team, otherwise gunners shouldn't be happy much although they were able to get a draw and score 2 goals in the second half. Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City won their games. Manchester City took again the lead along with Arsenal with 21 points temporarily of course since Spurs are supposed to win vs Fulham Monday. |

Julian Brandt was the salvation player on Dortmund victory, that man really smart he stand in the right position and didn't miss a golden opportunity to scored. With that 3 points, indeed it took them to the top position in the standings, but we still have Leverkusen which are could possibly regain the top position.
Leverkusen will face Wolfsburg away which is the only advantage Wolfsburg has. In their recent previous matches, these teams were quite equal but this season Leverkusen is a different team, more powerful and more convincing. I expect them to win. Yes, you are right. Statistically, Dortmund should have scored a lot of goals in that match, but they failed to take advantage of their many golden opportunities. Even so, in the end Dortmund was able to win and secure three points, I'm also happy to see that.
At the end there was many opportunities that Borussia Dortmund missed and if they want to improve their results, players have to be more serious and concentrated in the training and the match itself. |

Bayern Munich made a weird decision and they want to sell their player Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting had a perfect performance in the last season for Bayern Munich and scored goals and helped his teams a lot but right now Bayer Munich has players like Kane and Mathys Tel and that's enough for them.
Maybe that's why they decided to sell Choupo-Moting.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is a good player and helped Bayern Munich in many occasions. The problem is there is Harry Kane who is doing pretty well and Tel who is helpful also. There is another thing, his contract expires next summer and losing him for free will be a waste even though he joined them as free agent. There is Manchester United that might consider this opportunity especially with their dysfunctional team. Inter Milan was the other team that was interested in bringing him in the previous transfer window. |

At home Borrussia Dortmund have just won the game tonight, now they'll recover and go prepare for war against Newcastle United. They both look good but my verdict would be passed tommorow once Newcastle is done playing.
I'm not expecting a soft tie, a rough and hard one is mandatory, it'll be shameful to see Borrussia Dortmund leaving for Europa League.
Do you find them convincing? Borussia Dortmund won with only one goal vs Werder Bremen in a home match. If they fail to put the ball in its place most of the time then this will remain a problem for them. Newcastle United isn't Werder Bremen, it is a top team in EPL which is already a higher level competition comparing to Bundesliga. Since Dortmund will be away, I expect them to attack vigorously. They should be the first to score a goal if they take good use of whatever chances got.
I'll be excited only of they can go top of the group, Manchester United struggling so I'll be supporting the rest of the Premier League clubs present in the Champions League.
I think Newcastle United chances aren't lower than Borussia Dortmund especially in a home game for them. Newcastle is already doing better in Champions League than Dortmund. |

Mourinho was indeed really angry about referee calls in that final match but I'm afraid there is nothing he can do about it from now on.
Roma are playing much better when it comes to European competitions by the way. For example this season they have been better in the Europa League compared to the Serie A. For the the previous two seasons I can say the same thing again. Because they won the Europa Conference League title and made it to the Europa League final stage.
Considering all this I see Roma as one of the biggest title contenders here again.
Conference League could not be compared to Champions League because simply teams are more powerful in Europa League but also there is even more difficult teams joining Europa League from Champions League including Barcelona last season for example making things harder. Mourinho didn't make Roma stable yet, they have their good moments and their bad ones. In Group G, teams are weaker than Roma and the match vs Slavia Praha next Thursday will be challenging for them since it is the direct competitor for them in this group. |

Lukaku refused playing for Chelsea not even that, he refused retuning for training sections with the club and said he will no longer play for them.
Same happened with Inter Milan, the fans rejected him and same goes to his friend and former teammate who he once defended on and off the pitch Laturo Martinez. In the time of struggle when Lukaku needed them support he had none.
Both for Roma and Belgium. He has scored some good number of goals should be five goals in Seria A ( I'm not so sure. ) Wow, that's awesome, being the top scorer ahead of Ronaldo and other top European players. He has worked hard for this honestly.
Romelu Lukaku was a traitor in the eyes of Inter fans and his colleagues including the administration of the team when he was talking with them and Juventus at the same time. That was an explosive emotional reaction from them and it could be understood. Otherwise, Lukaku is successful in UEFA EURO Qualifiers 2024 with 10 goals scored making him the best scorer until now followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with 9 goals. In Serie A he was ranked fifth with five goals scored indeed. Fitting in a club and not in another one is the problem that frequently found among players. No need to try to prove yourself in a team where you fail to adapt, that's what Romelu Lukaku did with Chelsea. |

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq is set to officially sign free agent Jesse Lingard:
Lingard, who has also been linked with La Liga outfit Osasuna since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, also had a successful loan spell with West Ham in 2021, but Al-Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has taken an interest in it and wants a permanent move for him to Al-Ettifaq.
Jesse Lingard has very good goal-scoring status from a performance point of view; he scored 35 goals in 232 appearances and has also been capped 32 times by England. He was also part of Gareth Southgate's squad, which made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia in 2018. He has very good goal-scoring ability at Manchester United, but after leaving Manchester United, his goal-scoring ability has a little bit reduced, not like at a higher standard. But anyway, Steven Gerrard has managed to bring out his best form for Al-Ettifaq.
What did you guys think? Give us your thoughts.
Having an additional player to consolidate the team whether in the attacking line since he is an attacking midfielder but also a winger, will help the team in case of injuries or red cards, without counting his performance if he will convince the team with his capabilities to play full time as a starting eleven player. Al-Ettifaq is doing well in Saudi Pro League even if they missed some points in their latest matches. |

Opening match tomorrow for Ligue 1 matchday 9 between Le Havre vs Lens, as promotion teams not really poor with Le Havre performance in Ligue 1 with their statistic 2 win, 3 draw and 3 loss. Le Havre have better standings position than Lens with one point remaining but experienced team Lens has chance for continue the impressive after winning from Arsenal in Champion League last match.
Lens is standing in the 14th position just behind Le Havre in 13th rank, they had worst statistics this season and they are playing an away match, yet bookies are supporting Lens maybe because of the Champions League victory against Arsenal but also the draw with Lille in Ligue 1 just after. Current standings, Ligue 1 seems interested for this season because several teams have fewest points left and opportunity for Le Havre or Lens if can winning this match they will move up until top six standings position. Lens have bad started in this season depend their achievement last season success finish on 2nd position, but in Ligue 1 season 2023/24 with 8 games they have loss four matches.
Points difference aren't that much between teams and every round the standing will change. The problem is a big team like Lyon is getting some distance from the others in the relegation zone. They only have three points, 4 points away from Lorient, which isn't a bad team either. I don't know if they could get their first victory this time vs Clermont Foot, the only team behind them |

Hey guys with the recent play in Spanish la Liga which team right now do you think is going to win the Spanish la Liga. In terms of playing real Madrid and Athletico Madrid has been doing very well this period. And although Barcelona has not been doing too badly I think they don't have a chance currently but they may still pick form before the season runs out.
But right now I would say real Madrid has been the best team and they have the players that would really help them win the league. They also have the Coach to really also do well in the league and also in the UEFA champions league
Until now I failed to decide which team I support in this topic pole about the potential winner of La Liga. It is true that Real Madrid is leading the table but Barcelona didn't lost any game. Atletico Madrid is a good team but they cannot maintain positive results in every game. I think Real Madrid and Barcelona will have to wait until the last games to decide which team is more favourite than the other. |

And there is another reason why Juventus cant make it good vs Milan. Last season they were punished with points deduction and this season individual players will be punished. In the last few days there were players who were excluded from the national team, because manipulation. And for Fagioli it wont be easy, he was excluded from the game for 7 months. Juventus stay whit him and has not suspended him. But it continues with problems at Juventus.
Milan first goalkeeper is suspended this match against Juventus and their second choice goalkeeper was injured and will miss this game too. Milan has to play with their 40 years old third goalkeeper. For Juve, Nicolo Fagiole has been banned for 6 months. I don't know how much these news could interfere with the match but I suppose both teams will do their best. There is Tonali from Newcastle, and 2 Roma players under investigation for betting and they risk to be temporarily suspended too.. |

They literally paid millions of dollars to sit on the bench. They also knew that Neymar was injured frequently, they took a big risk, now they want to continue this race in front of them and they had to spend more, double damage. You can't blame anyone for Neymar's injury because there are those who think he didn't rest enough.
Even if he had rested a little more, he is a player with a very high risk of injury at any time of the season. At least they took out some of the losses from jersey sales and Neymar's advertisements. What can we say, was it bad luck or a bad investment?
The Saudi team know everything about Neymar's history and injuries before selling him and they certainly considered this when they recruited him. Saudi Arabia want to host World Cup and the presence of Neymar and the support of the Brazilian player and Brazil is needed. Second, they certainly won something from tickets and his name (shirts, ads...). Now when we talk only about the field, then yeah the loss of Neymar again was bad for the team. |

Liverpool lost points in 2 recent matches in the Premier League. Specifically, they lost 1-2 to Tottenham, and Brighton drew 2-2. Liverpool dropped to 4th place on the rankings. The fact that they defeated Everton in this match was a moral encouragement for them. Verton is currently still ranked near the bottom of the rankings. With this form, they can hardly hope to create a surprise.
With home field advantage, I believe Liverpool will win all 3 points in this match. Mohamed Salah will shine in this match. Because Everton's weakness has been clearly shown.
Everton isn't a real opponent for Liverpool and this match will be a soft one for them. Everton hardly win or get a draw and they receive goals easily. Liverpool should with this game improve their position Best game this round is between Chelsea playing home vs Arsenal then comes Manchester City which will face Brighton. These two games |

World Cup Qualifying Match Argentina vs Peru. Between Argentina and Peru In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Argentina won 3 matches and drew 2 matches. Between Argentina and Peru, Argentina is stronger. Argentina played 3 qualifying matches and won 3 matches. Peru played 3 matches lost 2 matches and drew 1 match. Argentina is number 1 in the points table and Peru is number 9. According to past statistics, Argentina are ahead to win today's match. If I had to make a prediction, I would definitely pick Argentina. Argentina's chances of winning today are very high. The game has already started let's see what happens in the end.
Argentina won as expected with 2 goals to 0 vs Peru in an away game. The other games results weren't that special until you come in front of Brazil one and see them losing their match by 2-0! Uruguay is a good team ok we know that but Brazilian players and coach should stop shaming themselves! They will play in November vs Colombia then Argentina which isn't promising with their actual form.. |
