There is a perception that if you do not make an effort to make something happen, it will not happen or luck will not find you to make it happen. Real Madrid has earned every win in the league thus far, and this is because of their persistent hard work collectively in the team. They are determined to win the league title this season and overthrow their closest rival, Barcelona. They can only accomplish this by putting in extra effort in addition to their current pursuit of the Champions League title.
Both teams are equally determined to win the title this season and the competition between them will be very tight. Barcelona is so far behind by 2 points from Real Madrid, but that doesn't make them give up considering there are still many games until the season ends.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have several decisive matches throughout this season, including the El Clasico match and several other fierce matches. Moreover, these two teams are still very likely to lose some points considering that other teams can also steal points from them regardless of whether Barcelona and Real Madrid lose or just draw.

I think arsenal will definitely learn from their last fuck up last season and try to adjust so that they can secure at least a trophy this season because last season when it comes to performance they actually played very well even to the surprised of many football fans but the one thing they lack was the inability for them to cope when their player had injury.
Of course Arsenal must learn from their failures last season, but stopping Manchester City's dominance is not as easy as writing down a wish. Manchester City is still a better team than other teams in the Premier League, even Arsenal must realize that the title competition this season is not only about them and Manchester City, but also about Liverpool and maybe Tottenham. So their hopes will not come true if they cannot win as many points as possible compared to Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City.

If Arsenal wants to win the title, then they have to win all their matches including beating Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City. This is the toughest challenge for Arteta and all his players, so as I said it is not as easy as writing down a wish.

Andre Onana has realized and has responsibility for that, but I think from mistakes there's a lot of learning for him.
Here's his statement... https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1704607393726808415

For me it's not entirely Onana's fault, but he has a big responsibility after being bought expensively from Inter Milan.

I agree with you that it was a lot of negligence from the defense which was quite weak so it was easy for the opponent to penetrate Onana's goal, which is more of a concern for Erik Ten Hag in defense.
Of course he knows what he has to do, but why don't other players do the same when they don't defend well and don't work together well to score goals? I think he should get appreciation instead of blaming himself for Manchester United's poor defense in the last few matches.

Manchester United have already been rewarded for their decision not to extend De Gea's contract and regrets will now be useless because once a decision has been made it is impossible to change it.
Now Manchester United must realise the mistakes they made not only for the players but for the coaching staff and officials and the main focus now is to restore the performance of several under-performing players, one of which is Onana. They have to find a way how Onana can be better under the Manchester United bar on the other hand for Onana also he must try hard now because apologising and admitting that he is bad enough now will not be the answer.
But wait a minute, does Onana deserve to be completely blamed for conceding 4 goals when beaten by a team that had a better attack line than Manchester United's defense? I think Onana performed better in that match, otherwise Onana would have conceded 9 goals instead of 4 goals.

The decision not to extend De Gea's contract was the right one, but Manchester United failed to strengthen its defense with some better players. I don't agree with people just blaming Onana when Manchester United were beaten by a team with more quality than them, that's not a nice thing to say. If you want to blame, then blame everyone instead of just one or a few.

Assuming that they will be able to qualify from the group stage, the draw to see their opponents will be decisive. I'm talking about external factors here, because the luck of who their opponents will be in the last 16 is also something that matters. After all, we don't know which clubs will qualify from this group stage. And if they are lucky enough at the time of the draw they are matched with a weaker club, or could be considered a dark horse in the group stage. But we'll see, because we're just past the first game, and we're still a long way from the last 16.
There are at least 5 other matches that will determine who will qualify for the round of 16. However, the victory over Dortmund was an encouraging start for PSG this season. After defeat from Nice's 2-3 in Ligue 1, many people doubted PSG's performance against Dortmund, but in fact PSG emerged victorious by getting full points in that match.

In terms of statistics, PSG really dominated the match against Dortmund, but they were not good enough in finishing where only 3/17 shots were on target. This home win is important even though PSG ultimately also has the potential to lose points in the next match.

Napoli defeated Braga to a 2-1 victory in yesterday's UCL game, this happens to be their first game in the UCL this season. Lorenzo as assisted by victor osimeh scored the first goal of the game in the first half after which they had a second goal in the second half of the game and Braga got a goal in the second half of the game which brought the send half of the game to end in a draw.

Braga was dominated by Napoli all through the first half of the game and lost the first half to Napoli. Victor osimeh was at his best as usual tho he didn't have a goal to himself but he did assisted, Braga tried resisting some attempt to score them but finally Napoli found their way through to get a goal in the first half, although Braga didn't look like a team that would give Napoli a hard time but the made some attempts

Napoli could be said to be a better team as compared to Braga in the game as they did performed way better than Braga owning the game , untill the second half Braga was more of a defensive team but later managed to secure a goal after cutting down a bit on their defensive tactics and attacked Napoli to be able to get a goal.
Of course, Napoli are a better team than Braga and everyone seems to agree with that.
Napoli's victory was of course expected from the start, but Braga, who was playing at home, also made Napoli's plans very difficult throughout the match. Braga fired 16 shots, 2 of which were on target, but Napoli, who were superior in quality, were certainly more likely to take advantage of their opportunities and they managed to win.

Napoli's 1-2 victory over Braga was a good start for Napoli in the Champions League this season. But the next match will really be difficult because Real Madrid will come to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with high enthusiasm and motivation to win. I can't predict who will win, but Real Madrid tends to be able to handle Napoli, especially in their last 2 matches in the Champions League.

I don't chase the sensation of a big win (jackpot) by betting bigger, but I often bet with small bets for the same sensation. So far I don't think I'm a greedy gambler on a budget, so I have to be quite realistic about those desires rather than spoil the overall fun.

Given a very limited budget, I don't think betting large amounts is what I would do. I agree big wins are the hope of all gamblers, but I don't think it's a good idea to throw it all in in one fell swoop without considering the risk of losing. Small bets for the same desires tend to make more sense to me, but feel free to do so if you have a bigger budget.

Chelsea can certainly lament the fact that despite spending so much effort and so much money, they are not seeing any improvement in their squad. Only to improve the team, the team is spending significant amount of money to buy players as well as appoint experienced manager to Chelsea but still the position of the team is not changing. A new manager taking charge of the team every season could be one of the reasons why this team has not improved in performance. Every season when a new manager takes charge of the team, every new manager wants to implement his own strategy which may affect the performance of the players by adopting a different strategy every season. A quality manager must be appointed and this team will do well in the long run.
Pochettino is an experienced coach in the Premier League, but Chelsea cannot fully expect him to change everything in the first 5 matches of the season. So far Pochettino is still considered a failure because he has not proven a significant improvement in the team's performance, but if Chelsea can give him more time then I think Pochettino is ready to make a lot of changes.

Chelsea's performance is unstable because they are still unable to establish good cooperation between their players. The team's performance is affected by the number of new players and new strategies, so it's natural that this team hasn't been able to play well in many matches. I don't completely think Pochettino has failed this season, but he has only failed in his last 5 matches in the Premier League.

Man Utd had couple of good chances on 0-0 and could have taken this match in another direction but now it looks just an easy win for Bayern Munich. I think Man Utd needs to sack Ten Hag as fast as possible because they only have bad results with him and they need something fresh.
No, Manchester United must give Ten Hag more time and trust even though this season he also failed to win any titles. Ten Hag basically has the ability to manage and develop a team, but so far he doesn't have many options due to injuries to several important players. So I don't think Manchester United need to sack him so quickly.

Currently Bayern Munich has a 3-1 lead over Manchester United. Bayern Munich still dominated the match and continued to build attacks well, but Manchester United still failed because Bayern Munich's defense was also good. For this match, I don't think Manchester United can recover to win points, they tend to have to admit defeat by Bayern Munich.

It's not the gambling that can affect a relationship and cause estrangement between the two. However, it is this person's behavior that causes the relationship to become strained. And in responding to things like this we cannot think objectively and say that gambling is bad and can damage a relationship, but in responding to this we have to think subjectively because not everyone who gambles means the relationship becomes strained. And when we behave wisely then all the activities we do will be fine. Gambling cannot provide complete joy, gambling only provides temporary pleasure and gambling is not everything. However, if your partner and family are everything that can give us happiness forever, then do everything wisely and responsibly, including gambling.
The impact of bad gambling is that it can change the attitude of gamblers to the point of harming themselves both financially and in their relationships with anyone, including their family. There are many cases of divorce because husbands who are gamblers are no longer able to manage their finances well and behave rudely to their family until divorce is the end of the relationship story, but of course not all gamblers will reach that stage if they are not bad addicts.

The average gambling addict has problems, but what differentiates them is how they control their addiction and how they control their emotions. Gambling addicts who are no longer able to control their emotions often have many problems that harm themselves, this is because they fail to gamble responsibly and are so greedy about their desire for big wins.

And yes yet again Jude Bellingham saves real Madrid yet again in the later part of the match, in as much as this was a victory for real Madrid in the addition minutes of the match I believe they have some troubles they should try to fix up soon.

This was their first match of the new UEFA champions league competition this season and they were up against a very weaker team compared to themselves and in Madrid I would have expected real Madrid to wash away their opposition today but surprisingly that wasn't the case. This isn't a good sign of things to come for real Madrid in the UEFA champions league.
Real Madrid's main problems this season are very clear, but they don't try to fix them and tend to choose to ignore them. Of course, it's not very good to continue to hope that Bellingham will be the savior with goals in important matches, but it seems that Real Madrid is very satisfied with the performance of the team they have. The main solution for Real Madrid at the moment is to bring in a quality striker in the near future, but if they don't do that then I believe they will not be able to compete with the top teams this season to reach the Champions League final.

They were lucky because Bellingham was able to score a goal at injury time, but most of the audience seemed convinced that Real Madrid would end the match with a goalless draw. I know they play well and keep trying to score goals, but without a really quality striker, I think their front line is very mediocre.

That was to be expected and Manchester City would have even further raised the pressure if the first half wasn't enough to get through the defense of Red Star Belgrade. But when a team decides to park the bus and then also scores a lucky goal, the time starts running out of a sudden and then one chance is missed, and the next chance is missed... That is how it can go.

But they had a full halftime to go and I doubt that Pep Guariola was anywhere near nervous. I think he has a high pulse beat naturally Cheesy but it is probably pretty stable because he knows he can rely on his team. I am surprised that Haaland didn't score any goals because against weaker teams it's usually his time to go for three goals or more than that.
The pressure remains on Manchester City as long as they are not ahead of their opponents. Pep Guardiola is a genius coach who in many cases is able to make his team perform better to get out of pressure. He is very experienced in dealing with pressure, so I don't think he was very nervous when he was 1 goal behind.

The stage begins in the second half for Manchester City. Alvarez scored two goals, one of which was an assist from Haaland. The free kick goal was also good, but it's true that Haaland really struggled to score in this match. He failed and failed because of the performance of Omri Glazer who always managed to save the goal. But that's not a problem because the team's victory is the main priority.

Yes but Manchester City corrected the result already. But I wasn't sure whether Manchester City would play with all of their best players or give a break to some of them and you can see that for the opening game a manager is well advised to not try out some experiments and stick to the best team he has available because a stupid and lucky goal against them can get them into trouble later in the group. But nothing to worry about now and they have the game under control.
Pep Guardiola finally succeeded in motivating his team in the second half to appear more effective when building attacks. Alvarez scored two goals, while Rodri scored the third goal in this match. Now Manchester City has managed to control the game well, but Pep Guardiola does not want to take big risks by continuing to play many of his main players when they appear dominant over their opponents.

Now Manchester City are 3-1 up and I believe they can still score the 4th goal instead of conceding. Haaland has so far failed to score his first Champions League goal, but he really had a lot of chances in this match.

With such results, it is basically Atletico who are under heavy pressure at this moment. Because yes, about Atletico crushing defeat in the previous match and then, Atletico had to play against Real Madrid in the next match. So yes, at least it will not be easy for Atletico to go through this pressure easily. Also, although Atletico will play at home but still, anyway at this moment Real Madrid is in a good trend with consecutive wins. As for Atletico, that Atletico still does not have a stable performance and thus, then I believe Real Madrid will still have a chance to be able to win in the away match against Atletico in the next match.
Atletico Madrid's defeat against Valencia was actually very surprising. Valencia, who had lost in a row in the previous two matches, was able to recover and win this difficult match against Atletico Madrid, but their victory was deserved.

The derby match against Real Madrid is certainly very difficult for Atletico Madrid, but they are playing at home. There is a good chance of Atletico at home although so far Real Madrid are unbeaten in La Liga, at least a draw I would not completely ignore. But in any case, Real Madrid is still the favorite even though they are playing away from home, I believe that.

Unexpectedly, Red Star player Osman Bukari gave the defending Champions League champions a surprise at the end of the first half in the 45th minute.
Manchester City dominated the game throughout the first half by releasing 22 shots and 7 shots on goal but were unable to score. However, I am sure that in the second half Manchester City will definitely make changes and score a goal because in the first half they had many chances and Red Star only had one shot.
True, Manchester City were only slightly troubled in the first half and their attackers were simply unlucky. Haaland, Foden, Alvarez and several others had chances, but all their efforts failed because Omri Glazer performed well as a goalkeeper. I'm sure Pep Guardiola and his team would have won this home game if they had been a little calmer, but let's see what happens in the second half.

In another match, two La Liga representatives Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were both ahead in the first half over their opponents. Barcelona closed the first half with a 3-0 win, while Atletico Madrid 0-1. Antwerp cannot be expected to cancel out Barcelona's win, but Lazio might be able to equalize in the second half as they also played well.

Bayern will cruise into the last 16. Man Utd should join them but I wouldn’t bet on it, they are a terrible team at the moment, truly in disarray. They can not be trusted in their current form.
You're right, there is such doubt about Manchester United's chances that some people seem reluctant to bet on their chances. Ten Hag certainly needs to fix that problem well especially to let people know he has what it takes, but his job is tough these days.

Manchester United lack the required players and they have been impacted badly because of it. Their defense is still not good, the same goes for the attackers. But whatever it is, I believe Manchester United with its big name can still be favorite compare Copenhagen and Galatasaray.

~~~
There is nothing impossible in football game, but the chance for Copenhagen and Galatasaray look a bit small. If Bayern and Man United can play with their best forms in UCL, I think Bayern and Man United will be in the first place and second place of Group A.
Bayern and Manchester are two teams that I think have a high chance of qualifying from Group A, but we also don't need to underestimate Copenhagen and Galatasaray. These teams will be fighting for the same reasons, so the match will definitely be exciting to look forward to.

Aside from team Bayern Munich which stands out in terms of their quality in the group, Right now from the look of things Manchester United, Copenhagen, and Galatasaray all three teams have an equal opportunity to qualify from their group, we might even be thinking that Galatasaray is next in line after Man Utd,  and we might get a shocking qualification from team Copenhagen and they come out second in the group.
Bayern Munich and Manchester United are two teams that I think can qualify for the round of 16 this season. I agree that Manchester United's performance is not good in the Premier League, but I believe Ten Hag can think of something that can have a positive impact on his team's chances of qualifying from the group stages this season.

Copenhagen and Galatasaray certainly have a chance, but I don't have much interest in those two teams. Bayern Munich is the favorite team to lead the standings, while Manchester United is the team that will lock the second ticket from group A based on probability. But we'll see if this is true, but I think it has a high probability.

I think Arsenal might be champions this season with there performance and as the season just started those at the top like Manchester city will have pressure maintaining the top and will face heat from the top four and when they drops points definitely other teams will want to reach the top cause the top four is tight presently and with the way the Arsenal squad are playing I believe they can defeat Manchester city
Manchester City is a team that tends to put pressure on Arsenal rather than the other way around. I don't think Arsenal can take first place from Manchester City if in the next match they fail to win the match against Tottenham. Of course Arsenal and their fans are very confident in the possibility, but in fact Arsenal failed to have a good mentality in the title race last season.

The matches against Tottenham, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle in the coming weeks will be a benchmark for whether Arsenal deserves to lead the standings, but I really doubt that Arsenal can take it from Manchester City easily.

For awhile, Kylian Mbappe have final decision will leave Ligue 1 next season after not extending contract with PSG will over next season but I doubt that final decision or change later for renewing contract with PSG. Did you remember before when Mbappe contract will be over but in deadline window transfer closing he reached agreement extended contract two years later with PSG after fantastic offering from management. Depend with Kylian Mbappe priority he will push up his level career and moving to Real Madrid is the best option or keep staying with PSG and actually he will get another chance with fantastic offering and highest salary payment.

Looking with his rival Haaland have won Champion League I think Mbappe have move to Real Madrid if want to win Champion League tittle because have been several years with PSG but never winning yet.
Moving to Real Madrid doesn't give Mbappe a guarantee of winning the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, but it does open up the possibility of doing so. But is Real Madrid really interested in him or is it just Mbappe who hopes to go there and help Real Madrid win it?

I would prefer if Mbappe moved to the Premier League regardless of whether he wants to go to Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City. In the Premier League he can be a better player than in La Liga where the competition is dominated by only two teams in the long run. The Premier League is different even though so far Manchester City has dominated the title in the last 6 seasons.

The Spanish La Liga game between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad is almost over and Real Madrid are likely to win the match. It was Joselu's header in the 61st minute of the game that have Real Madrid the lead after Federico Valverde strike cancelled Ander Barrenetxea's early goal.
I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to struggle to win the game but Real Sociedad has given them a torrid night at he Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's current formation has been working for the club but I think it'll be difficult for Madrid to win without recognized striker when they face stronger opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition.
Indeed, the formation and line-up that Ancelotti chose could provide positive results for them especially as they still managed to win it. But I also realize that Real Madrid is completely different if they don't have quality strikers. Joselu wasn't involved much in the game and he just waited for a few passes to get a shot on goal, it was a different look to the way Real Madrid build attacks.

Rodrygo is certainly good as a winger because he has speed and skills in dribbling and passing several opposing players, but Real Madrid's attack line is incomplete without Vinicius and also a quality center forward. I agree that Real Madrid will have problems if they meet better teams than Sociedad, Getafe, Celta Vigo, Almeria and Bilbao. Of course they can lose points because of it.
