I love how PSG played against Acmilan today in their UCL game,  at the earlier stages of the season they were inconsistent and it affected them to the point that got embarrassed by Newcastle, they were defeated 4-1 but after the international break it seems the whole squad have rediscovered their form cause they're currently playing very brilliantly and did very well today, i had doubts about them winning before the match started but suprisenly they did a good job and claimed 3points from Acmilan.

 PSG performance today was outstanding I think the players are now getting an understanding amongst themselves, it was their star player that scored the opener goal to boost their morale in the 1st half and the game would had ended in a 4-0 victory if not for Dembele's goal that was cancelled by VAR, PSG really deserved the victory they performed better, dominated mostly and even created more chances.

These are the first clear signs of an up and down season for PSG and their problem eventually won't be that they can't play strong enough, but that they can't play strong consistently enough. This performance against AC Milan had nothing to do or in common with the performance against Newcastle United. They have a great offense and PSG should try everything to reach a higher level of consistency. They have had some small issues in the defense though, which I think on another day may had been punished by AC Milan. But watching the three attackers play their counter attacks is quite fun as they are all damn fast.

If Barcelona becomes overconfident and underestimate their opponents, that would be their biggest undoing. First off their injured players some of who were in good form in recent weeks poses a challenge for Barcelona. Injuries are setbacks for the team and could impact the plans of the coach. Secondly, I do think Barcelona is still not clinical enough, and that they are way too vulnerable to counterattacks because of their attacking full backs. Maybe we would see a Ferran Torres and Joao Felix goals. My prediction is Barcelona 2 , Shakhtar 1.

Whatever the results in the Champions League match, basically Barcelona still be the group winner. So yes, for me personally, Barcelona is doing well in the Champions League in this group phase, even though several key Barcelona player are injured but still, in reality Barcelona still has better quality compared to the other teams in group H. Therefore , then it has become an obligation for Barcelona to have a better squad for the El Clasico match . Because yes, the reality is that Bellingham is difficult to stop at this moment and therefore, of course Real Madrid has a squad and performance that is better prepared for the match in El Clasico which will be played this weekend.

Barcelona will win all six group stage matches because I don't see any clubs that can beat them because they are stronger than them, In the previous two seasons, Barcelona failed to qualify to the round of 16 because their performance was not really good and the group they met was not a small clubs, but now they are trying their hardest and winning matches so that they can qualify, Xavi is performing well this season and I am confident he will try his hardest and win trophy this season again, But, because some of Barcelona's players are injured, I don't think they can compete with Real Madrid this weekend. Real Madrid is in terrific condition this season, and their players are in good health, Barcelona plays Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League tonight We don't know if Felix will be able to play in El Clasico this weekend due to an injury.

You are most probably right, but I wouldn't take Barcelona winning all six games for granted. I doubt that a lot of people bet on a close game like the one now against Shakhtar Donetsk. I am sure that most people thought this is going to be an easy win with maybe a goal difference of 2 or 3 goals, but it wasn't and even more, Shakhtar was able to play very well against the ball and gave Barcelona a hard time to score.

I think the two teams, namely Leverkusen and Liverpool, are strong candidates to win the UEFA Europa League. At the moment I can't choose between the two because only two matches have been played. They both have almost the same statistics. So maybe I will wait until all the matches in the group stage are finished and then we can compare the two.
Both teams have good performed in domestic league and Europe League, Liverpool managed first standings position in Group after winning two matches and Leverkusen leaded top position in Group H after collecting 6 points from two matches. Looks not problem for both teams with impressive performance in domestic league for upcoming match. Depend on next drawing if both teams qualify to next round will face each other on early knock out round or will face in the final stage. For group matches stage, actually both teams will easily qualify to next round but waiting with match drawing result what stage both team will face, if have good drawing seems potential Liverpool vs Bayern Leverkusen will play in the final stage of Europe League season 2023/24.

I prefer with Liverpool is favorable team for winning Europe League season 2023/24.

In fact, Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in all competitions so far and in fact, the match between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga also ended in a draw. Therefore, it is certainly feasible for Bayer Leverkusen to be a title candidate this season both in the Bundesliga and also in the Europa League. Because obviously, Bayer Leverkusen has had very outstanding results so far this season and thus, Bayer Leverkusen will certainly have a good chance to get the trophy. Although indeed, there will still be many matches ahead, but if Bayer Leverkusen manages to maintain good results like this, then of course Bayer Leverkusen will also succeed in lifting the trophy this season.

I think that it is more likely for them to win the Europa League than the Bundesliga. In the Europa League they can benefit from the format because it is two legs and they have one home game and they can always be in an outstanding shape and beat a stronger team in a game. But in the Bundesliga the hardest competitor is still Bayern Munich and beating them over the course of 34 games in total is almost impossible. Getting through the knockouts in the Europa is really hard and I am not going to say it is easy or anything, but with some luck you can make it far in the Europa League while in the Bundesliga luck won't help a lot. But still exiting times for Bayer Leverkusen.

The question is Liverpool afford to spend a high amount of money to sign Musiala? Their biggest transfer was Nunez which they spent for 85 Million Euros, Musiala's market value is 115 Million Euros, it's really big for Liverpool.

I think Klopp will try to find an alternative player which play in weak club or small league rather than sign a star player.

The question is also whether 115 million is hight amount now? Prices have risen not only because of inflation, but also because of the growth of football itself as a business (and thanks to the Saudis, of course). This is the reality, it must be accepted, even Bayern, which resisted for a long time, was able to do this and paid a lot of money for the not too young Kane, and even in conditions when his contract was expiring in just a year.

Also, everyone in the business knows how much money a club has that is interested. One good example is also the transfer of R. Kolo to PSG, when it was about to fail but in the last minutes when the transfer window was still open, PSG topped up their offer once more and Frankfurt cashed in a huge amount in transfer fees. I think Frankfurt once signed him as a free agent? I believe that was the case and since Frankfurt knew that PSG won't let a transfer fail for 10 million more or less, they really risked to wait until only minutes were left for the transfer to be finalized.

I understand people who have doubts Italy first of all. Because they haven't been much convincing in quite many matches so far. Even against Malta their performance wasn't that incredible although the final score was 4-0. We saw them struggling very much against England at the same time.

After all these performances their future in Euro 2024 is dependent on the North Macedonia match first. They have no choice other than winning it.

I know that their last two head-to-heads didn't end up with a win either. But in this critical situation I want to give Italy another chance to make it this time.

They first need to qualify of course and the situation is at least complicated, if not even really hard for them as Ukraine can't be underestimated as we have seen, but once Italy qualifies I think they would be able to show that they are a team which is strong enough to play a great tournament. They may not be as good as England and also not as well in shape as England is, but a tournament also has its impact on the players and on their performance levels. Sometimes it works a bit of magic and Italy, once qualified, should also be taken into account as one of the stronger teams there.

There is a 4-point difference between them and Al Hilal is currently the leader. Al Ahli has no choice but to beat them. They also have the opportunity to close the point gap between them with a win. Considering this, there are many sources of motivation for Al Ahli. If Al Hilal wins, it will push Al Ahli out of the race.

It is a relatively close race between the top teams in the Saudi Professional League, but I believe that over the course of the whole season the form that Ronaldo and Mane are in as of now may pay off for Al-Nassr despite the fact that they are slightly trailing. The next three games for Al-Nassr are not that hard and are all must wins. If they get the full 9 points out of the 3 games, I think they might be close enough to then take on Al-Hilal and Ittihad in December. If they play well and win those games, they might possess the lead by the beginning of next year.

Addictions aren't about learning from experienced players, addictions are often emotional shortcomings that someone tries to balance out with actions that are not that smart to take. Gambling is such an action and the problem is that the experienced gambler who escaped an addiction may have been living in a different environment and under different circumstances. I doubt that there is a 1:1 transferability when it comes to issues that are usually driven by so many individual characteristics.

Stopping reckless gambling after winning a round might be a trap that most of us ran into. To cope with that, it is always the same. Trying to have control over yourself and set hard limits by withdrawing money and not touching it again before a set date.
I have the opinion that experienced gamblers have definitely felt addicted or almost addicted and I am very sure that almost all experienced gamblers or professional gamblers have felt it all, even though they only experienced the first signs of addiction, but it is the same as almost entering the addiction zone and this is usually caused by by losing control when controlling emotions fails.

stopping such reckless betting activities is quite easy for those who are experienced, usually those who win usually always appreciate the money they get after that, quit and withdraw the winnings.

Right and it is also about the grey zones when nobody can really tell whether someone is addicted or not, not even the person themselves. But this is a problem in general. When do you call an activity an addiction and when do you imply harmfulness as well? Because someone could be addicted to chess, but what's the problem and hence nobody would use the word "addiction" in the sense we are using it in the area of gambling.

But to get back to reckless gambling, I think the loss of control when someone has a lot of luck for an evening or so is a bad sign and maybe a lack of experience because I assume that more experienced players have a better understanding of how fast winnings can be wasted when used in an euphoric state of mind.

The game is essentially over and it was a game that was very Bayern like. In this one Galatasaray had the chances so often and for such a long time to take the lead because they were the superior team for like 60 minutes in the game. They had so many more shots than Bayern and they also had really massive chances to score, but they failed. And this is what Bayern is waiting for. Let the opponent work hard without being successful, then the opponent becomes tired towards the end and then they score some easy goals. Kane has had a bit of luck, which is unlucky for Galatasaray, and Musiala's goal didn't really look too tough because the defense of Galatasaray was showing signs of being tired and also disillusioned after the Kane goal.

Galatasaray found many positions in the first half and early second half of the match, but could only score 1 goal. The first half ended 1-1. When Bayern Munich increased the tempo after the 70th minute of the second half, Galatasaray could not respond. Bayern Munich has players who are physically much superior to Galatasaray. For this reason, they attacked and scored very easily in the last 20 minutes of the match.

This group can produce very different results. Manchester United-Copenhagen match is a very important match in terms of the ranking of the teams in the group. If Manchester United beats Copanhagen, all three teams will compete for second place in the group.

They didn't really increase the tempo, actually they slowed the game down and took out the pace from the Galatasaray game and the Turks also became more tired over time, since they played an exhausting strategy. But there are still some very important games to go. It is safe to say that Bayern Munich will qualify for the next round, but Copenhagen still has their game at home against Galatasaray and also against Manchester United, which indeed ensures that this group will be interesting most likely until the last game is played.

Liverpool's attention to the Osimhen deal may be because the possibility of Mohamed Salah leaving at the end of the season is very high. Saudi Arabian clubs are coveting Mohamed Salah. Liverpool wants to reach an agreement with Osimhen as soon as possible. And this rumor appears even more when Osimhen's relationship with Napoli has recently deteriorated. Osimhen could move to English football. This is his dream, as well as other players. But if Napoli agrees to this deal, they will propose a very high transfer price.
That is the option that Liverpool is preparing if Mohammed Salah joins the Saudi Arabian club. But if Real Madrid and other rich clubs also have a big interest in bringing in Osimhen then Liverpool's chances of competing will be much more difficult because maybe other clubs will offer a much higher deal. Osimhen's relationship with the coach is not as bad as reported and the problem of missing a penalty is something that often happens to any player, so it is impossible for Rudi Garcia to try to make this a bigger problem.

Osimhen does have the intention of playing in the Premier League as was his childhood wish, and he also has the speed that can support his career to develop further in the Premier League. But believe me, which player would refuse the opportunity that Real Madrid would give them? There are many people who want to play for Los Blancos but don't get the chance.

There is only one downside to selling Salah and buying Osimhen and this is these transfers can't be hidden from the public. Wink Which means that Napoli will be fully informed about the price that some club from the Saudi Professional League would be willing to pay. There won't be much scope for negotiation for Liverpool then and Napoli will push the price as much as possible since they know that Liverpool has the money to pay almost any price, if it is still valid that the Saudi club pays an amount that became public last time. The choice that Osimhen has to make also comes into play of course, but I think that depends on Mbappe. If he goes to Real Madrid, Osimhen won't be of interest to Real Madrid anymore.

Xavi Alonso was the coach of Leverkusen last season. But Leverkusen's performance was not very good. Alonso dealt with the team's internal problems and tried to stabilize the team. And this season it shows that he has succeeded. Leverkusen's performance has been very consistent and strong since the start of this season. And it is through hard work that he has managed to bring the Leverkusen team to this position. And now I don't think he will leave Leverkusen. He has worked hard for this team. He will definitely stay with the team till the end of this season. If his relationship with the management is not good next season, he may decide to leave Leverkusen. But I don't think he will leave Leverkusen so soon.

They also had some personnel problems last season because of injuries, like Florian Wirtz who missed 50% of the games last season due to a cruciate ligament tear I believe, but now he is doing great. They also have Victor Boniface who was expected to do well, but not that well. He is one of the surprises this Bundesliga season after Guirassy from Stuttgart. He brings in great offensive power and accelerates the Leverkusen game immensely. Same thing with Jeremy Frimpong who was playing well in the 22/23 season already, but if he plays this whole season on that level, there is no doubt he will improve his stats by a lot in terms of goals and assists. It is a great team that Alonso has formed.

But I think eventually Manchester City will be the one to decide about the championship. Or let's not say decide, but they are the team that has to be watched and if they make mistakes, Tottenham seems to be perfectly ready to go and take the chance and hardworkingly gather point after point. But they are aware that any significant decrease in performance means game over against Manchester City unless we are going to see an unexpected season in which the two losses in a row become more of a rule, but I really doubt that. I still think that Manchester City will score well over 80 points and that is what Tottenham has to aim for, too.
Currently, there are several teams that look strong and are likely to compete closely in the race for the Premier League title this season, but we never know which team will be able to perform consistently until the end of the season.
And it cannot be denied that everyone will continue to favor Manchester City because with what they have done in the last few seasons, it is possible that they can continue the same thing, even though they don't win at the end of the season, Manchester City will definitely still put a lot of pressure on them. strong or competing fiercely at the top of the standings.

Yes and what I am really looking forward to are the head to head games between the top 6 or top 8 teams. So far we have had the games Manchester City vs. Arsenal, vs. Newcastle and vs. Brighton. They still need to play against Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United although I doubt that Manchester United will have a chance, but given that Manchester City has recently struggled against weaker teams as well, Manchester United might still be a challenge for them. So there are a lot of those top games to be played and in about 4 weeks I think we can make first predictions where this might to this season.
732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 24, 2023, 11:58:45 PM

It is very likely that this will become a reality if Tottenham are able to maintain their best performance by winning in every match. Even this week they were in 4th place but they managed to climb back to first place after winning 3 points against Fulham.

No one thought that Tottenham would be able to progress quite well this season because they were coached by their new coach this season and also lost Harry Kane who left for Bayern Munich. But they were able to brush aside all doubts by winning and leading the standings until the 9th match of the season.

Son is increasingly confident on the field. He often provides assists and also scores goals and I think they are in their best form in the last few seasons. I'm sure they were aiming for a top 4 place in their planning but they were able to occupy first place, which was certainly beyond our expectations.

But I think eventually Manchester City will be the one to decide about the championship. Or let's not say decide, but they are the team that has to be watched and if they make mistakes, Tottenham seems to be perfectly ready to go and take the chance and hardworkingly gather point after point. But they are aware that any significant decrease in performance means game over against Manchester City unless we are going to see an unexpected season in which the two losses in a row become more of a rule, but I really doubt that.

This is where their license will come in. Whatever country has jurisdiction over the said gambling site could provide some help to the gamblers who are scammed, the gambler can sue them for not giving out the rewards that are supposed to be his. Most scammy gambling sites don't have a license to operate and we must also look into that first before we pass our KYC.
Without it, we will just get ourselves in more trouble with both anti-money laundering cases and maybe tax evasion.
For the example you said, if ever there comes a victim of a scam gambling site who is still avoiding all the passed information by the gambler, there is nothing we can do to chase everything that they took.
KYC is for those with legitimate business because they don't want trouble from their government and I think it's also a good thing for higher security. Other gambling sites only do this so they can sell our information in the black market and that's when we will receive some phishing emails or identity theft.

Thanks for sharing this and I have often wondered, how do I know which license is the right one and which is not? I am referring to the potential recourse you can take based on the specific license obtained by a casino. When I read these certificate numbers and letters, it is mostly hieroglyphs to me. How can I find out whether a specific license can help me with any action I may want to take against a casino in case of required arbitration or litigation? Sure, if there is no license at all, we don't even need to bother about KYC and let alone any money we won on that platform. But if they have a license, is there a place on the Internet I can go to and that tells me about the options I have in case of a dispute?

Last season, Leverkusen were the team that finished 6th and also ensured them to go to the Europa League. This season they have shown a lot of improvement and now they can be at the top of the table with no losses. Xabi Alonso should be applauded for what he has done with Leverkusen. Although they have not been able to win the title, but in his hands Leverkusen became even better. I remember when Xabi first came, yes Leverkusen at that time was in a bad state and slowly Xabi could improve this team.
Leverkusen's improvement this season is one that deserves every commendation it's getting and I must say so far Xabi Alonso has proven himself to be one of the best they can get in the bundesliga, at this his very young coaching again, been able to build a team that is formidable enough to withstand Bayern Munich to a draw is almost uncommon as compared to Leverkusen form last season.

Leverkusen looks very promising this season and even if they happen to not win the league title, we could be sure they would finish top five and definitely qualify for UCL next season, not to forget they are still unbeaten aswell in the Europa league where they are still doing so well, if they putting in more effort as they do in the bundesliga, it's possible they could gat some out of the Europa league aswell but then they still have some tough teams to contend over there, nevertheless they are still doing so well, all thanks to Xabi Alonso.

Regrettably, the speculations and discussions concerning Alonso's future have already begun, but I must say that I hope he will stay at Leverkusen for a while because I am really interested in seeing Alonso build a competitive team with much less resources than Bayern Munich has available. He is so young and he has plenty of time to coach the big clubs in Europe, first and foremost Real Madrid I guess. But I assume that he is on the wishlist for Real Madrid already and if he plays an outstandingly successful season with Leverkusen, which does not necessarily mean he has to win the Bundesliga, I think that Real Madrid will reach out to him. This is how these situations usually play out.

Well if that happens then I will really wait for his work when he becomes a coach, whether when he becomes a coach will gain the same success as when he was a player or not. Indeed, many players aspire to become coaches when they retire, and I think that's good because they can learn early from experienced coaches about applying strategies in matches, or the smallest things that I'm sure each coach has a different coaching style.
Now if he wants to be a coach, then he should start learning from now on, so that when he really jumps in as a coach he can quickly and carefully apply his strategy.

This is when I am sometimes stuck between a rock and a hard place. I look at the player and his achievements but first and foremost the character and then it is hard to imagine that the player could become a great coach. Zidane has always been an authority and someone who understands the game and is charsimatic. I had no doubt he could become successful as a coach. But a different example would be Diego Simeone. When he came to Atletico Madrid, I remembered how he behaved like a player and what character he was, and I couldn't get a picture into my head that would paint him as a good coach. But well, he delivered as a coach. In case of Benzema I don't know, maybe with experience at other clubs and then in 10 years from now he may be doing great as a coach. But I don't think he would be well respect by all players early on in his career.
I also can't say whether he'll be a great coach or not, as many factors will determine this. Now there are many players who are great and when they become coaches they are also great, there are players who are great but when they become coaches they fail, and so on.  
I don't know what Benzema will be able to do as a coach, because at the moment I honestly don't see his leadership potential. But that could all change with his process and his first experience as a coach.
I wouldn't expect too much from him at the start, because he's bound to be a bit nervous.


You brought up the exact issue here. I also can't see his leadership potential at all and from what I understood, he is so distractible with problems offside the pitch like his religious issues or the sex tape blackmail case which became huge. He isn't a calm guy like Zidane who understands how to be neutral about things and how to lead a team while considering all interests equally. Benzema has now several times raised attention with very questionable actions and while I believe that human beings can change, this guy is not 18 or 20 anymore and can change until he is 35. He is about to turn 36 and has all these private issues of public interest. Imagine this guy is your coach and you are from Israel.

On the one hand it is unfortunate that Juventus are not in European competition, but on the other hand it is beneficial for them because they are not more tired than clubs that are competing in European competition.
This is because of the sanctions imposed on Juventus last season which caused them to fail to enter there. However, on the other hand, whether because they are very disappointed or what, Juventus doesn't mind this and thinks that the European League is not their target. They just need to focus more on this season so that they can enter the UCL next season. And apparently they are right. From the start This season, Juventus has put on an always interesting match. Even though they are not in first place, at least so far they have still entered the UCL qualifications if they can continue to survive until the end.
Juventus's performance against big teams is not bad, just that they are supposed to be losing points against some mid-table teams if they want to compete and win the Seria A title. Consistency is the main goal of every team, and if a team is consistent, they will definitely go far. According to Juventus performance this season, they have the quality squad they need to go back to the Champions League next season, and now that they are not playing any European competition, if they are consistent, they can win Inter Milan and other big teams as well as the League.

I think Juventus Turin is just getting started. The corner stone of their game has always been a strong defense and they are on a good way to get their defense back to the strength of old days. That is where Juventus Turin started to build their strategy. From there they need to figure out how to improve their offensive game because it was the combination of both that made them such a strong Italian team for so many years. The win against AC Milan was also due to the red card, but in general it was a good game and they have once again kept a clean sheet. Since they can put all their energy into this competition, I think they are one of the biggest favorites for the titles. Winning a game away against the toughest competitors means big points every time.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has had good scores last season and when he was brought on, he often used his chance and scored a goal. But the fundamental difference was that Bayern Munich didn't have a real striker last season and they were desperately trying to find a solution that consisted of some variations of their pool of offensive players. But now that they have Harry Kane this problem has been solved once and for all and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting only chance to get more minutes on the pitch would be when Harry Kane gets an injury. For as long as that doesn't happen, I don't think Tuchel considers Choupo-Moting except for games when Kane is given a break.
Bayern Munich signed Harry Kane, it means Bayern Munich assume Choupo-Moting isn't enough to be the main striker. He may be a good striker, but he is still not in the level of top strikers like Harry Kane. But it depends on him, it he accepts to be a substituted striker, he may choose to stay in Bayern Munich.



Bayern Munich has never claimed in the first place that Choupo-Moting would be a first choice striker. They have always known that when the day comes and Lewandowski leaves, they probably won't get around signing another prolific striker. But there two things at work: they first had a chance in the whole management and they wanted to try to substitute Lewandowski with a mix of semi strikers like Muller or Sané and Gnabry, but it only worked occasionally. The second problem was the availability of a striker that they were looking for. It is hard to sign good strikers these days who are young, already perfectly developed and ready to score goals from day 1. Haaland was one of their targets, but they came second after Manchester City.

For as long as that doesn't happen, I don't think Tuchel considers Choupo-Moting except for games when Kane is given a break.
Chopo Mouting is one of the players who can be used as an attacking option if there is no striker at Bayern but his ideal position remains at the winger which will eventually be the same as Mane who will slowly leave because he will find it difficult to get a regular place when Tuchel and several previous coaches very rarely do a 4-3-3 scheme for Bayern because they prefer 1 striker and flanked by 5 midfielders who are characteristic of the Bayern club.

Now with the formation of 1 striker and Kane already there then surely he is the choice that makes Chopo Mouting aside.
This is also actually good because if he imposes on Bayern this actually becomes one of the obstacles especially last season his performance was very good.

Choupo-Moting is a a winger? Are you sure about that? I can't recall that I have ever seen him playing on a real wing position. The games I have seen when he played for Bayern Munich or for PSG, or also for one of his former clubs, as far as I remember he played a center forward position.

Choupo-Moting isn't bad, but he is not the player you want to be playing when you are in the semifinal or quarterfinal of a Champions League against one of the strongest teams in the world like Real Madrid. You need someone like Harry Kane to also have the confidence within the team that there is someone who is able to take on the challenge with the defenders of a world class team.

In the next 10 years, Bellingham may go down in football history like his idol football player Zinédine Zidane. He is a young, fast, dynamic, technical, talented and hardworking football player. He is also a football player open for improvement. He can achieve great success both in the national team and in Real Madrid. Both teams are suitable clubs to achieve success.

And this is all about health. Usually players like Bellingham who are not in between being a talent or a superstar anymore, will go down in history unless they become susceptible to injuries and miss a ton of games. The best example here might be Eden Hazard. That guy would have gone down in history without a doubt if his knee didn't cross his plans and ambitions. Bellingham is too good to just decline in performance and disappear. But health issues can stop a world star talent from becoming a world star and remain a talent.

This game against Galatasaray can be compared a bit with the game against Villareal in the knockouts when Bayern Munich got eliminated because they obviously didn't take the game seriously enough. But despite the issues that Bayern displays in some of the game, I am sure that they will not underestimate Galatasaray as this is not some unknown team that nobody knows anything about. I think it is already sufficient information that Galatasaray was able to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford and Bayern Munich had their own problems to beat Manchester United at the Allianz Arena. But in this game I don't think Bayern will score many goals and win the game with only medium effort. Galatasaray will try to push them against the wall and nonstop interfere with their ball possession strategy.
It is impossible for Tuchel to underestimate this match because after all, Galatasaray is a tough opponent for them, so the slightest mistake could lead Bayern Munich to defeat. Bayern Munich will definitely not waste the opportunity to get full points in the group phase and I am quite sure they will play with a core squad to avoid defeat. Galatasaray also has experienced strikers in the team so Bayern Munich must be quite wary of them.

Bayern Munich did not play in their best condition when facing Manchester United because even though they were playing at home to Bayern Munich, Manchester United managed to score three goals and Tuchel had to prepare a solid defense in this match to stop Galatasaray's attacks.

The game is essentially over and it was a game that was very Bayern like. In this one Galatasaray had the chances so often and for such a long time to take the lead because they were the superior team for like 60 minutes in the game. They had so many more shots than Bayern and they also had really massive chances to score, but they failed. And this is what Bayern is waiting for. Let the opponent work hard without being successful, then the opponent becomes tired towards the end and then they score some easy goals. Kane has had a bit of luck, which is unlucky for Galatasaray, and Musiala's goal didn't really look too tough because the defense of Galatasaray was showing signs of being tired and also disillusioned after the Kane goal.
