Benzema was a sharp striker for Real Madrid last season and the departure of Benzema gave a slight decrease in the game from Real Madrid but when you watch Real Madrid in the Domestic League they play quite well and even tend to be better than Barcelona.
Now Ancelotti is always trying to make the team less dependent on one player like last season when Benzema was there.
Manchester City has a goal machine, namely Haaland and he can make Manchester City have a different chance of winning, plus there are other players up front like Julian Alvarez and assisted by quite reliable midfielders Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy
doku.
With them on the front lines, Manchester City has very good strength in every attack on the opponent's goal.
Undoubtedly, a player like Karim Benzema left Real Madrid and Real Madrid could not recruit another star in that position which can be considered as a weak point for Real Madrid. After Karim Benzema left Real Madrid, Real Madrid lost their first two friendlies and everyone feared that a bad season might be in store for Real Madrid, but as the season started, Real Madrid returned to their former form. Real Madrid have played three matches so far in La Liga where Real Madrid have won the first three matches. Real Madrid will do well without Karim Benzema in the Champions League if they can maintain their current performance in La Liga.

Benzema's episode ended the day he moved to Al-Ittihad, he is doing well there and has had few goals, let that slide and focus more on how the current team of Real Madrid has been. When a club undergoes major changes of players, there must be changes in how the players interact, how they play and how they win and since Casemiro was sold to Manchester United, their defence has changed even though Kroos and Rudiger are still in their prime protecting that with their life, it has really changed.

The centre forward has also experienced changes, Viniciuos has not been in the form the way he was during their last Champions League, no other player like Benzema that take advantage of assists like him that's why the effort of Viniciuos is sometimes wasted. Bellingham is good though, but that's not enough to me. If Ancelotti insists on riding the storm this season with the left players, so be it but I'm very confident that the fans are going to fry him before next year July.
I don't see any possibility of Benzema returning to the Real Madrid team. However, most of his career was spent at Real Madrid and his dedication to the team is unforgettable.

Yes, Villarreal is a club that cannot be underestimated and against Barcelona they showed a game that was good enough to match Barcelona's game.
Although Villarreal lost by conceding 4 goals, they also managed to get 3 goals.
This is one of the exciting matches and very fierce competition for the start of the season in La Liga.
Even though many thought that Barcelona would lose this match, it turned out that they were still able to take advantage of scoring opportunities to win a narrow victory over Villarreal.
Villarreal is indeed a strong team, but they are no better than Barcelona, in this match I did not see that Villarreal played well, but it was Barcelona who played badly so they could concede 3 goals even when Barcelona was 2-0 up. Villarreal was able to turn things around, until finally Barcelona's players came back to make the game 4--3 but it will be another evaluation for Xavi to continue to improve this team before facing more difficult opponents.

And what is of great concern is Barcelona's bottom line this season, look at how bad Barcelona's defense is, this is a pretty serious issue if Barcelona faces a tougher team, maybe to compete in La Liga Barcelona is still quite calculated but I really don't sure they will be able to compete tightly in the UCL stage.
The match between Villarreal and Barcelona has been very competitive indeed. Later in the last minute, Lewandowski had a great chance to score but he missed it spectacularly. Still, Barcelona secured a much-needed win to stay ahead.

If 10 people save the game they played, Klopp can do good things this year. We've seen how much potential they have Smiley
Yes, it's true this is a very classy match that playing with 10 players will definitely be difficult to rise to victory, moreover Newcastle is not an easy club, they are a great club in the EPL and always surprise every opponent, just look at their attack which is also very good, but Liverpool really played well at the end of the match Nunez's entry was very unexpected he could turn things around.

Nunez was able to take advantage of the lax Newcastle back line and was able to take advantage of the opportunity to score two goals at once at the end of the match, it seemed that Nunez was Liverpool's savior last night when Newcastle were humiliated at home and of course their defeat will also make them need a lot of changes in their less good back line until conceding two goals against Liverpool last night.
Liverpool reduced to ten players, and they still win? What madness! Newcastle has been underrated in the Premier League for years. Their attack is not merely effective; it is astounding. Then Nunez? Now, this is a different scenario. Why in the world did Klopp even keep him on the sideline for so long? In the final quarter-hour, the gentleman steals the show! Honestly, I feel somewhat vindicated in this situation. I've been on squad Nunez from the beginning. These objectives? They were more than just goals; they were a declaration. Klopp needs to regain his composure. Realistically, Newcastle did a poor job, particularly with their defense, but that does not negate the fact that Liverpool, even with 10 players, is still Liverpool.
It was very important for the Liverpool team to win the match and they did it. Liverpool's attacking side was trying hard at the end to take the lead with a goal until Nunez, one of the attacking players of the team, scored a goal in extra time to help Liverpool secure the win.

Ancelotti is really experimenting with Bellingham for a new position to adapt. Because Bellingham played only as a central midfielder for Dortmund last season. This is the first time they are playing as an attacking midfielder regularly. But until now he has looked really okay with it. I can say that it is even better for him.

Because now he is able to make a bigger contribution. He is playing as if he is Real Madrid's new striker after Benzema's departure.  Grin  The new formation (4-3-1-2) is also working out well for Real Madrid so we are likely to see Bellingham in his current position more often from now on.
The experiments Ancelotti is currently running on Bellingham have been successful so far. The position Bellingham played in Real Madrid's two matches by Ancelotti had a positive impact on Bellingham because the former Dortmund player seemed to find freedom in his movements.
In Real Madrid's third game of the week, Ancelotti will retain that position for Bellingham and his 4-3-1-2 formation suits him perfectly.

In the two matches that Real Madrid have played, Bellingham's position as an attacking midfielder allows him to easily find space to take advantage of situations so that analysts say that Bellingham is very good at using positioning to score goals.
His playing with the attacking midfield position in this formation makes him similar to Guti.
Real Madrid team is expected to do well in La Liga. But the team needs a good finisher. Vinicius Jr misses a lot of chances at times. So team management should think about a good striker.

Serie A will be more competitive this season. Because several clubs will fight for the title this year. Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and AC Milan have strengthened their squads. Their goal is the title. On the other hand, the performance of Jose Mourinho's team Roma is now more stable. Last season we did not see consistency in Roma's performance. But Roma's performance is likely to continue this season. Hopefully, Roma will be able to perform better than the previous season. About 4/5 teams will play for the title. However, it cannot be said for sure which team will be able to maintain the consistency of performance. And so it is not possible to guess which team is the favorite for this season.
Although Serie A is very competitive this season, there are a few teams mentioned that will play the biggest role in his goal of the title. Although we have seen Juventus this coming season they have the best mentality towards the game and are strong enough. Last season we saw Napoli win the top flight so this season there are a few interesting teams to win the title. However, Fiorentina is playing the best this season and they have a great performance, they are strong enough to be at the top. However, these two teams, Inter and Milan, will play a significant role as they have performed exceptionally well this season. As we see some of the most interesting teams this season, it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the title.
Despite landslide victory of the Napoli we have good competition for the other spots in last season and this season most chances all teams will be at the same level and things will be much interesting due to few changes in teams even mostly feeling we are going to have tough competition for the title between Milan teams but still others can make things much entertaining with nearly six or seven teams at same level of quality can create good fight but current available sources and performance level and quality is still clearly favoring few teams which can stand till last.

Juventus, Inter and Milan are top contenders but mostly are feeling Napoli will be not good as we have them in last season but still they will be surely not easy team because Victor Osimhen is still available and doing impressive, so prediction is not easy for the final teams, but surely change is going to happen which will be good for the all top teams.
Juventus team has been underperforming for the last few seasons and after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala, the situation of the team has worsened. Hopefully the team will correct their mistakes this season and the team coach will apply great tactics to help the team perform well.

Once again PSG sent an offer for Mbappe to extend his contract with them and after the recent negotiations they had in the past to make this player stay he said he wanted to stay in PSG for the last season and leave PSG for free which is not something PSG wants and they even put him out of the squad to make this player accept the offer to stay in PSG but the offer is rejected against and it seems it's the last season we see Mbappe playing for PSG.
    


I've heard the same news about Mbappe being in talks with PSG to extend his contract. The French striker is reportedly negotiating his renewal with PSG, although I couldn't find a reliable source for this information. Mbappe has already expressed his interest in staying at PSG for this season only and leaving as a free agent in 2024. Despite various reports circulating, my expectation is that he will stay for just one more season as following the contract.
I don't think PSG will do well in the Champions League this season. Because there are great problems in the team which if not fixed I think the performance of the team will not be good.

Indeed, all this was bad news for the Real Madrid squad when the La Liga competition was about to start and after that there were still players who were injured. His absence was unmitigated, even among them there were those who until the end of the season would not be able to strengthen Real Madrid. Kepa's arrival at Real Madrid is only on loan and of course it won't cost a lot of money. Ancelotti does like Kepa and even threatened Lunin's position, which was previously expected to get a starter when Courtois was injured. I think Ancelotti must be fair in dividing the rotation for these two goalkeepers.
Kepa is a smart goalkeeper and he is a Spanish too. It's good for him to return to Spain and play for a biggest club there. Real Madrid will have a good goalkeeper to replace Courtouis without big spending on transfer market. They won't have to wait for months to see good adaptation from Kepa because as a Spanish player who was called for Spain national team many times, Kepa already familiarized with some Spanish players in Real Madrid. In addition, he understands well about La Liga and tactical formations of Spanish clubs.

Real Madrid took minor risk by taking a loan from Chelsea and they can reach to a permanent transfer in the next summer if the goalkeeper satisfies Real Madrid.
Kepa is undoubtedly a good goalkeeper. Real Madrid have done well by adding Kepa to the squad. Kepa is expected to do better for the team than Real Madrid's previous goalkeeper.

Ronaldo having two and half years contract which is going to end in 2025 then most chances at the age of 40 he will retire from soccer but still stay in soccer because now he is brand ambassador of the Saudi League and Al Nassr soccer club, and they want him to stay until 2030 which is long time hopefully things will be good for them during this time.

Ronaldo has a few hidden clauses in his contract. He is guaranteed of additional payments if he stays in Saudi Arabia until the bidding for the 2030 FIFA World Cup gets finished. There is no guarantee that Saudi Arabia will be able to win the bid, but they believe that presence of Ronaldo is going to help them immensely. The Saudis actually want Ronaldo to forfeit his Portuguese citizenship in exchange for a Saudi passport, but from what I have heard his family is against the idea of settling down there on a permanent basis.

We all know that Cristiano Ronaldo took Saudi Arabia to a different level. For the world cup, the Saudi authorities want him to stay in Saudi Arabia, of course. The heart of world football is now in Saudi Arabia. Great transfers were made to the league. Maybe the reason for these transfers is the world cup.
The Saudi League is now being made up of retired players, many say. But it is very true that European players are joining the Saudi League for money. I think the Saudi League will make a big splash in European football in the last few seasons.

Maybe it's true that this week's match will be the first warning for Luis Enrique so he can bring PSG to their first win of the season. The loss of these players felt very influential for PSG because basically they still needed these players to strengthen the foundation, especially when a team has a star player like Mbappe, the team should be able to prioritize winning rather than having to fuss over existing conflicts.
The return of Mbappe in PSG squad gives their fans a lot of hope that their club will return to winning track. But they should think a few minutes, why do they totally rely on Mbappe for finding winnings and points even in Ligue 1?

If they continue this dependence on Mbappe, it is nearly impossible for them to lift Champions League trophy in this season or future. Enrique and PSG must have plans with which they can win without Mbappe or in matches when Mbappe plays badly.

Quote
Neymar has gone to the saudi league and maybe after this Verrati will also leave so that there will be fewer senior players left at PSG. This week PSG will face Lens and to be honest this time I feel they will again find it difficult to win this match, even though PSG are the hosts, Lens is still their competitor at the top of last season's standings. But I still hope they can secure full points at home and allow Luis Enrique to at least take a breath of fresh air for a while.
PSG have many players who have been playing for them recent years so those players are either older or no longer match with latest changes in PSG with a new coach and possibly new development strategies from PSG after recent drama with Mbappe.

Veratti actually did not have good pre-season matches and he is in sale list of PSG. In midfield, it's hard to maintain good performance when you are old and with Veratti body, it is more difficult for him to manage his good performance. At a rich club like PSG, he surely will be replaced by younger midfielders.
A midfielder plays one of the key roles behind a team's good performance. But PSG team does not have any good midfielder. As a result, I don't think the PSG team will perform very well in League One this time.

If Kevin De Bruyne, Jhon Stones, Bernardo Silva have to be sidelined until September, the Man City squad will automatically not be strengthened by these three players in the Champions League Group Phase. I think the only option now for Pep Guardiola is to add to his squad in the remaining transfer window, Guardiloa said that the Club will take an important decision to deal with the current situation. I think this is an indication that City will recruit new players, and of course they will find their target players easy.

I predict Man City without the presence of these three players in the UCL will be a little different, because the competition demands experienced players and has a winning mentality like them.

Ok but the Manchester City style is very challenging and players usually need quite some time to perfectly adapt to it. I remember when they bought Grealish for so much money and everyone expected him to be perfect from day 1, but that didn't happen. He really needed time to find his optimal performance level and also spend some time sitting on the bench at first. That's why transfers for crucial positions in such a team is not easily done and I wonder which players are available at all.
I heard a news that Barcelona wants to add Jao Chancelo to the team from Man City. If Barcelona can really add this player to the squad, the team's defense will be incredibly strong. I think that will create an opportunity to perform well in the Champions League.

It is probably too early to draw conclusions about the position of the teams in the standings. There were only two matches. Yes, Sevilla failed to pick up points in these two games and they started this season very badly, but maybe they can improve in the future.
I hope so but let this club try to rebuild the club after it was facing financial trouble. I would not blame sevilla as the club is still in a difficult position right now. Even sevilla was declaring to sell all of players on its main squad to raise at least 81 millions - 100 millions to pay off the debt.
Sevilla needs to start from the bottom again. The club already sold some important players which were affecting the performance of the club. Sevilla deserves more chance to compete with another club in sevilla.
It's so annoying to see the performance from sevilla has been decreasing so hard. I expect sevilla to come back again as soon as possible. Sevilla needs to play in UCL as well.

This is a bad story, I'm very sorry, but hadn't they won the Europa League? How come they got reduced with all these debts? I always say that modern football is too tied to money, that players get too much money and that they are sold for exaggerated prices

Most of the clubs in La Liga are in debt and I believe that this probably is the same for almost any club in any league...

But when you search for the details, their debt seems to be relatively low. It says that they have 90m euros in debt, which I think should still be manageable for them.

Winning trophies doesn't really change that much I think. If you consider the salaries that are being paid to top players, it is almost as if they could pay two or three of their best players with the revenue they made from winning the Europa League. It is a great example that shows how weird everything is when a club can't even ay the players with the money they get from winning trophies.

In recent years, almost in all European leagues, many teams have financial problems and debts. Player salaries have now reached insane figures! stadium revenues don't even cover 1/4 of the wage bill and winning trophies often only serves to reduce debt. See for example in Italy, Inter despite having played the Champions League final and collected more than 100 million from UEFA still has more than 200 million debts which, if not paid by May 2024, will be forced to sell shares to Oakthree. so I'm not surprised that Sevilla sail in the same waters, despite the victory of the Europa League they continue to have their accounts in the red. it's a shame because in any case we are talking about a team that has 7 Europa Leagues on its bulletin board.

Yes but this is what makes financial fair play so incredibly complicated in most of the leagues. As soon as the big clubs have massive debt they can just go and find a huge investor and they are good to go. But there is also another problem when the most renowned clubs have financial issues. When the authorities were to give penalties, it is also possible that they harm their own national leagues when the best clubs aren't participating in European competitions. It is tough to create a level-playing field and make it more fair. But I would like if they all had to compete under the same conditions, though this is a dream that won't come true. The refinancing potential of the clubs that are already big is so much higher than that of other clubs.

The relation between the success of a club and their cost structure should be stronger. As you said they can't even pay off their costs/debt when a club were to win the Champions League, the domestic league and the stadium would be sold out 100% of the time. It is still by far not enough to pay the salaries, which is weird. No other business with real production factors would work like that. It's all a big fat bubble and the players enjoy it of course.

Exactly! you said very well ... it's a big bubble! and this bubble will burst sooner or later, this type of business won't hold up for long, the players for the moment are bathing in the big salaries they receive, and having fun! lucky them. I also want to see the Arabs in about ten years if they continue to give stratospheric salaries to top players without having a financial return that can cover their economic expenditure
I agree with whoever discussed Sevilla, Sevilla should be given the opportunity to play in the Champions League. Judging from the side of the team, Sevilla team will be able to perform better than PSG.

Pavard is a player who is quite old and only plays defense. If Bayern Munich has given a price of 30 million euros, then that price should be quite appropriate because it meets some of the needs of Inter as well. As long as it's not too expensive, Inter should buy it. So far, Bayern Munich's defense has been pretty good, so it's possible that losing one defender won't be a problem for Bayern Munich.
Elite teams competed to sign the Bayern Munich defender, and teams like Manchester United were interested in bringing him to Old Trafford this summer as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire when he leaves for West Ham. However, the deal collapsed through, and United decided to end their pursuit of Pavard. subsequently Inter Milan and the player strike a personal agreement, Bayern Munich may release the French player. The Bavarians will continue to be resolute in the contract because the player has complete discretion. A dynamic defender with positional awareness is Benjamin Pavard.

I thought it would be beneficial for Manchester United, but unfortunately the transfer did not happen. We've seen a lot of players relocate this summer. Pavard could have been one of them. He is currently under contract with the Bavarian team and I am sure he will be useful again if he fights with Bayern Munich in the new year.
I have not seen Bayern Munich team play till now. But I heard the news that the team is performing well after the addition of Harry Kane. Harry Kane's performance in a match shows that the player has adapted to the team in a great way. Hope the player will do something good for the team.

Haaland and De bruyne have excellent chemistry. De bruyne is an excellent midfielder . Apart from assisting scores, he is also capable of scoring. With De bruyne in the squad we see a better performance from Haaland. In the last few matches we don't see a better performance from Haaland.
Manchester city's performance is still somewhat erratic. The main reason for this is that their midfield key players are not in the squad. Because of this guardiola has to change his match strategy. Gundagon, De bruyne and bernardo silva were Manchester city's mainstays last season. Silva and De Bruyne have been absent this season due to injuries and Gundagon has left the team. With Silva and De Bruyne in the squad, City's performance is likely to be more stable.
Manchester City performance have declined so much this new season, the team finds it really difficulty to improved their game because significant players are injured. Pep Guardiola already had replacement for these players but these players will never suit in so perfect as these forme players. Kelvin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva remained the pillars in cityzens midfield, nothing changes. They will recover and fall back fully fit to the squad. These two players absence is really affecting Erling Haaland in the frontline, no one to give crucial key passes to the Norway international for him to score, things getting tougher for Haaland.
No other player can make up for Kevin DeBruiner's absence. Haaland will suffer somewhat in attack due to his absence. But under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, a unique coach, Manchester City can surely come out of such problems.

As been expected Arsenal win the match even with a small margin, Arsenal still not have any good striker, there are so many chances created and Nketiah can't score any goal. Havertz, Trossard, Jesus and Nketiah, they can't play in center forward, but they're forced to play in this position.

I'd like to see Saka play in center forward position, he looks promising even though he's a right winger.
Although Arsenal won the match, they did not perform very well in the match. Fortunately, they secured victory. If you look at the possession of the match, the opposition team played better than the Arsenal team. In my opinion, a team like Arsenal needs to win more easily.

This is a pretty dramatic victory because barcelona needs a lot of effort to beat Cadiz. Ferran Torres reaped a lot of praise for himself because he entered in the 85th minute and he scored 90 + 4 which made him lock in victory for Barcelona in this match.

Xavi, who was unable to accompany Barcelona in this match due to a red card in the previous match, is of course very satisfied after his team was able to secure full points at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. Now, if you look at the statistics of the meetings between the two in the last 5 matches, Cadiz has never won against Barcelona.
Cadiz had a good defense against Barcelona and they played a very good defensive strategy in this match, so that making it difficult for Barcelona to get into the Cadiz defense which was so solid in guarding Barcelona's forwards. Until entering the second half Barcelona still had quite a hard time developing measurable attacks on the Cadiz defense, they even got four yellow cards. Gundogan showed his class as an energetic midfielder and despite Cadiz's solid defense, he managed to find Pedri to score the long-awaited goal in the 82nd minute.

Torres again made the lead for Barcelona through an assist from Lewandowski to create the second goal in extra minutes. Even though Cadiz lost, I think they deserve applause because the defense and goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma played very well in this game. Many saves were made by Jeremias Ledesma, thus avoiding defeat and conceding many goals in that match.
In the first match of La Liga, Barcelona could not secure the victory despite a great effort, the match was a draw, then in the second match, they finally managed to score two goals after 80 minutes to secure the victory that the team desperately needed.

PSG needs all the possible help they could get presently, because with these display, I'm pretty sure they won't even make it top four this season. Alot of things changes and their opponents are warming up to pull a big challenge and fight for the Ligue One title. Luis Enrique have alot to explain to the fans about the poor performance they're facing this new season. Two games, two draws. Recording a draw against Lorient, now is Toulouse, there's good winning outcomes expected of them but it's really taking time for the parisians to adapt to the new coach game system.
I think it's only the way of giving direction to the players that is different at PSG not the system as a whole even though the impact is very visible in two matches this season for PSG, because PSG still haven't won so any help for now is really needed by PSG if you want to get full points in the next match in Ligue 1. If even in Ligue1 PSG has started to find it difficult to compete, I can't imagine how PSG's condition will be when competing in the UCL this season and I even doubt that PSG will qualify for the UCL group phase.
PSG's only aim was to do something great in the Champions League, but despite the number of seasons with Neymar Mbappe and Messi, the team could not do anything. In my personal opinion, this season of Champions League, PSG team will not be able to do anything more than the previous season.

I watched this fight only in the first half, my eyes couldn't hold back sleep. because in my country, the game is played at dawn. but that does not mean, I can not be able to know the course of the match until the end. I think Barcelona played quite well, even Xavi implemented a different system with a 3-4-2-1 pattern. unfortunately, every opportunity they had could not be converted very well to make a goal.
In this match, Xavi rotated some of his players. I don't understand, is he trying to experiment or does Xavi really want a pattern like that and rotate some of his players. but what is certain, Barcelona controlled the game with 75% ball possession. they had 24 total shots, 10 shots on target, 8 blocked shots, 6 big chances, 4 missed big chances, 1 hit the post. After all, in this match, Xavi could not give instructions, because he was sent off the field by a red card in the last match.

As for Cadiz, they really play defensively. As for the opportunities they had from counterattacks, they couldn't be put to good use. well, the goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma played very impressively. he made 8 saves, 7 saves in the box, 5 high claims. but unfortunately, in the 82nd minute Gundohan provided a clever assist which was met by Predi which was able to be converted into a goal. Likewise with the second goal, the assist from Lewandowski's header was able to be continued by Ferran Torres and again found the net guarded by Jeremias Ledesma. at least, this victory is a big capital for Barcelona to carry out the next match. even without Raphinha, Xavi was able to implement other options with his system, and it seems the experiment was a success.
Without being accompanied by Xavi in ​​this match, Barcelona managed to come out in this match by winning. It really took extra hard work to break into Cadiz goal because Lewandowksi et al had difficulty scoring goals in the first half due to Cadiz tight defense. In the second half, Barcelona game was getting better controlled and they scored 2 goals in the second half which allowed barcelona to win its first victory in front of its supporters.

This victory will be Barcelona's motivation to look to the next match because they have to be really consistent in every game because their rivals have been impressive in the first two matches this season.
Although Barcelona managed to secure the match victory, I would say that the Barcelona team is currently having serious problems with their finishing. Lewandowski has not been able to perform well in the last season. Besides, Gabi and Pedri are noticing some great mistakes in their game. Hope Javi will fix these issues soon.

even though yesterday I lost my bet for Roma but I am very satisfied to see the match between Juventus and Udinese and Juventus performance made me feel much better after my bet won. even though Juventus forced them to compete with ordinary players without star players, in the match against Udinese they had a maximum performance and this is good news for Juventus fans because their worries have been paid off by Juventus victory.

It seems that Allegri is a little more confident in bringing his team to the best place until the end of the season because he also knows what to do with the current players.
Juventus managed to start the new season with a promising victory over Udinese, Juventus performance in this match deserved praise from fans or other parties who placed bets on Juventus victory. It was not easy to score three goals against Udinese at once, but the Juventus players were able to do so in the first half. After entering the second half, Juventus were more careful and seemed to play it safe to secure victory. The performance shown by the Juventus players indicates that they are ready to compete for the Scudetto this season.

Allegri can take advantage of Juventus lack of schedule this season to stay focused on Serie A, he has managed to leave a good impression in the first match, Juventus will aim for first place all season in order to maintain the chance of winning the title race.
The Juventus team could not perform admirably in the last season. But since the team managed to secure victory in the first matches of this season with praise, we can expect the team to do better this season.

Dembele has the sacred number ten, which we hope will suit his PSG career very well. With Dembele present, the PSG squad really looks amazing the depth of their squad looks strong. But what makes PSG strong is still Mbappe, reportedly he is back playing for PSG. Under Enrique leadership it seems that Mbappe will be more confident about being able to get the UCL Trophy, if this season PSG gets a Trophy then I'm sure Mbappe will extend his contract with PSG.
It's still very far to talk about UCL trophy`. PSG needs to prove the quality from the new team in the domestic league. I remind you that if you can't compare the performance from PSG in the domestic league and UCL. UCL has been filled by so many great clubs in the world.
PSG needs to perform even better than manchester city to make sure it will able to go to the play off. PSG was always failed even when it has great trio. I hope mbappe complete his new contract with PSG as soon as possible.
Im feeling so tired to see there have been many speculations related to this club and mbappe. Extending mbappe's contract will be helping to confirm that if mbappe will still stay in PSG.
I absolutely gutted if mbappe leaves from PSG even though he will be going to the real madrid.
No matter how much PSG keep Mbappe in the team this season, I don't think the team will do well in the Champions League. Because the PSG team has some serious problems with the midfielders and the defense.

In the past few days, we have seen the news about Lukaku between Inter Milan and Juventus because these two teams are usually racing in the Serie A. The fans of both teams care about the player's transfer between these teams that's hard for a player to get transferred from Juventus to Inter Milan. Still, there is the possibility for Moise Kean to leave Juventus for Inter Milan and play in that team in the next season.
Inter Milan wants to hire Moise Kean for loan but Juventus wants to sell this player permanently.


 
Juventus team did not perform very well last season. But when Paulo Dybala, Ronaldo were in the team, the team was in a better place. But it remains to be seen what kind of changes the team brings in this season.
