I agree with you. Real Madrid may be in very good form. But it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to win the away match against Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid will try to win, otherwise, they will try their best to share the points. The most important thing is that Real Madrid's main forward Karim Benzema is injured. He will be absent from the next match. So it will be very difficult for Rodrygo and Vini to score.

Roma easily overcame HJK and won by three goals without reply. The Finnish champions appeared to be struggling with 10 men since Miro Tenho was sent off in the 14th minute. And Mourinho's substitution to start the second half gave the hosts the motivation they needed to score.

Starting the second half, Dybala and Pellegrini each scored one goal to put the game out of reach for the visitors. Belotti then added the score to 3-0.

There's a rumor where Liverpool and Manchester United want to sign Jude Bellingham aka Dortmund midfielder. The current his market value is $82 Million so we will expect at least $100 Million. I don't think Dortmund will want to let him away with cheap price since Bundesliga already started. It's good if he joined Liverpool, Manchester United is really  dumb since they already have Bruno and Casemiro.

It's kind of joke if his first match with Wolves will fight against Manchester City lol, I expect Diego Costa can't do anything since there's a far gap between his body power compared to Haaland. I think they will choose Pedro Neto or Hwang again.

Ronaldo wanted to leave the club and spent most of the summer on vacation, with limited pre-season training. The lack of training affects his fitness and his adaptation to Ten Hag's tactics.

Ronaldo is an ambitious player and he will not want to stay on bench in every match. However, in order to get back into Ten Hag squad, he will have to take any chance and make impression. So far, Ronaldo did not achieve any impression but the season is long and I believe that Ronaldo will get his best fitness back and will be able gradually get his position back.

I don't agree that is the reason Mane left the club. Mane is one important player in the Liverpool squad and one who was not really appreciated for his efforts. When I discovered how much Mane was earning at Liverpool I was so disappointed because he was working like a donkey and eating like a mouse which doesn't feel right at all. He deserved better atleast for his work rate and contributions. The second reason was that he was hiding under the shadows of Salah and needed space to shine.

Ronaldo very much needed that goal, he has gone a while this season in all competitions without being able to hit the net. Many people think the celebration he put up after scoring the penalty was unnecessary because of the team they played plus the fact that it was a penalty and not a regular goal. But for me, I think the celebration was more like a show of joy that he had broken the deadlock and maybe we should expect more from him, and I certainly do.

I've also heard the news about Gavi. It is also an enormous talent. Barcelona clearly have a lot of confidence in him and Gavi in Barcelona as well. He will never leave Barcelona again. You never hear such things, do you? Have heard something about Neymar about 200 million but now we are already at a billion. PSG or especially Newcastle can easily afford that. Then they are also at once from the financial problems at Barcelona if a club wants to buy Gavi 

This is going to be a difficult season for Chelsea. Not sure how to rate them right now. Also achieved a bad result in the CL. They are currently in 6th place, but not all have had top teams. They can easily move up the rankings, but the game is not good. Arsenal are doing well this season with just 1 loss and 5 wins. Arsenal have also played better and better in recent years, and it seems to have been that way from the start. I'm curious if they play against top teams like Man City how it will go. We haven't seen Arsenal in the CL for a long time unfortunately. Maybe this season?

Erling Haaland, the Ronaldo & Messi replacement. Maybe each of us can imagine the new Ballon d'Or nomination and if Haaland continues and he will successful in the Premier League and Champions League, he will win this. There is only one who stands in his way and that is Lewandoski. But Haaland is over 10 years younger and hopefully he will get better from year to year. Now 6 Matches an 10 goals, ohyes.

One of the most awkward matches of the week was Atletico Madrid - Porto by the way. Porto were quite impressive in Metropolitano Stadium. All of the goals came in the stoppage time which was quite interesting. Especially after Porto's equalizer I wasn't expecting a goal anymore. However the winning goal for Atletico Madrid came in a minute like 90+11.    I saw Atletico Madrid as very risky to bet on and stayed away from them. I wasn't wrong about my suspicions as it seems. They are still having serious issues and I wonder if Simeone will continue to manage this team after this season. There were some rumours regarding him to leave before so this might get real in the future maybe.

I will put Barcelona ahead in Bayern Munich vs Barcelona match. The main reason for this is that Bayern Munich is still not stable as a team. Bayern Munich has drawn in their last 3 matches in the Bundesliga. On the other hand, Barcelona has been consistently performing well in every match and Barcelona is dominating every match.

The most important thing is Bayern Munich's star player Lewandowski and Barcelona's main striker. And Lewandowski knows Bayern Munich's internal weaknesses very well. So Xavi can consult with Lewandowski in this match to determine his match strategy. As a result, I guess Barcelona's performance will be better.

With Cadiz's defeat against Barcelona this week, it extends their bad run to 5 matches. Not only that, they even extended the record without including their goals. Indeed, the distance of points at the bottom is not so visible, but with what Cadiz has shown I'm not sure that they will be able to rise in the near future. This season will be a long one for them.

What is wrong with starting C. Ronaldo? How would you know if he would deliver better or not? I don't like what the coach is doing. This guy wanted to leave Man U, but you persuaded him and even used politics to make him stay. Do you think that torturing him mentally is what is next? He foresaw this, which was why he was trying to leave the club. I don't want the situation of Messi to repeat in C. Ronaldo's case, they should not let them rot away or look as if he is not relevant anymore. I know Ten Hag wants a team without him, why is he then selfishly holding him at the expense of his career that is about to end? That's my point.

Aubameyang and Ronaldo have very different characteristics and when compared, Aubameyang wins for good qualities because he can work well with the team, while for Ronaldo, even though he is a professional player and has a lot of experience in football championships, his character is what has been seen when he was at Manchester United, it is clear that his true nature is not friendly and cannot work as a team well.

The good news is that we can still buy beer in Qatar during the 2022 FIFA world cup. because the FIFA has held intensive talks with the organizers. because this issue is important to FIFA. because after all the producer of Budweiser Beer has been the main sponsor of FIFA for almost three decades. And taking into account the World Cup spectators who also came from outside Qatar. then later there will be a stand selling beer near the stadium door. so the audience can still enjoy a beer while watching the game.

Calculated  



I don't know why, but I was very suspicious of this match and somehow decided to get at least a small but reliable boost from it. I wonder if at least Juventus will show a reliable game today without dramas and comebacks? The odds are pretty generous on this game. For all their problems, Juventus is underestimated in my opinion.

I think it's only a matter of time because if the problem of Sadio Mane's move to Bayern Munich, the replacement they get from Benfica Darwin Nunez isn't too bad, it's just that Nunez doesn't have much playing time which hinders Darwin Nunez's developments in Liverpool. And I don't think the management will sack Jurgen Klopp just because Liverpool have drawn three match and lost one of the six match played.

I predicted Real Madrid will win the match against Mallorca to secure three points to be in the first position. The competition is between Real Madrid and Barcelona,  they have almost close points. For Barcelona to win the league is for them to try their best not to loose any point, failure to loose any match at this point will make it complicated to win the season.

I don't think I can say that it took long for Barcelona to reach the level of Bayern Munich (what does level really mean in the game of football?). The reason is, that the match has not happened and can not measure how far the difference between the two is and how far behind Barcelona from Bayern Munich is. In football, nobody always wins right? Well, this also applies to Bayern Munich when it comes to dealing with Barcelona.

Manchester United started the EPL badly but started to make up for it in a short time. They won their last four matches. As a result, it might seem weird for some people to witness them losing to Real Sociedad in Old Trafford here. However they might not care about the Europa League as much as the Premier League this season. This might be the reason they struggled that much in this match.

However the remaining teams in their group are much easier than Real Sociedad. Even if they stay behind Real Sociedad they can still reach next round by finishing this stage as the 2nd. Omonia wouldn't do anything in this group but maybe Sheriff can finish this stage close to Real Sociedad and Manchester United just as they did the same against much bigger teams in the Champions League.
