-snip-

Maybe I'm quite regretful because I'm not sure about PSG, even though PSG is very favored if we consider the odds that existed before. But for some reason, I felt that maybe it was a trap so I doubted PSG in this match. But the truth is, PSG managed to win big with the final score being 3-0 and yes, if I realized the final result would be like this then maybe I would still go ahead to bet on PSG with the asian handicap option of course. Also, with the three points that PSG got in this match, it make PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 standings for now, even though it is only temporary, but it will certainly boost the team's morale for the better.
PSG is actually not as bad as they think, it's just that sometimes they are unlucky because their opponents are really defensive throughout the match. Strasbourg were actually also very defensive with a 4-5-1 formation, but their high pressing meant they had to make mistakes which led to the first goal.

I don't know what the best reason is to underestimate PSG just because they dropped points in some games to non-favorites like Nice and Clermont Foot, but maybe they have their reasons. PSG is the favorite team every season in Ligue 1, but they shouldn't play without losing every season. Today they won at home with a score of 3-0, it was an expected win.

Now they have finally secured a good spot on the league one standing even if that is not where they will want to be . Three goals today as they prepare for the Champions League game against Ac Milan who will be very different and difficult to win the game.
PSG are finally locating themselves into the top four. They didn't have a good start bit they will do good still regardless.

First game as Marseille head coach and Gennaro Gattuso lost yet again. I'm not here to make jest of him but he will need to drop down his shoulders and try to be teachable.

Liverpool after that red card for Everton won pretty easily and looks like Liverpool is picking up pace now. Man City on the other hand won 2-1 against Brighton and it wasnt easy at all for them. A hard win for them to break the losing streak and an important win for the title race
Everton's game became defensive because they lost players, like it or not they had to defend while Liverpool's attacks continued even though they ended up winning easily in the second half.

Manchester City have now corrected their mistakes in the previous two games, with a win over Brighton having secured a point they remain top depending on how Spurs win tomorrow.

Hah. What happens with Arsenal now 2-0 behind Chelsea? It's a little surprising that Arsenal lost.
How could it not be, Arsenal was able to beat Manchester City now, then Arsenal lost to Chelsea, which we often don't trust Chelsea's game. Shocked
Currently situation is very interesting with Manchester City is at the top of the league table for the two days because Spurs can overtake them with they have game against Fulham after 48 hours, and then we will have good time for few teams to stay at their spots Liverpool was not good as they needed but still good thing happen, and they were able to score two goals against ten men Everton.

Manchester City is also doing good even they were not good in second half, but this win brings them back into good position which is surely good right now we have tough game for the Arsenal which ends in a draw which is setback for the Gunners and good for the Blues even still need more improvement, but after this match look like Gunners are feeling pressure after few days they are going to have another big game in Spain.

I saw the game Manchester City won against Brighton, I saw the official red carding Akanji today and it was same offense done by Konate today during the game between Liverpool and Everton.
The officiating individuals are being biased and it's not good as it'll not lead to this and I'll agree.

Liverpool struggled against Everton, the game shouldn't have ended in favor of Liverpool if they had not received that red card. Everton with the help of Sean dyche would have help that to a draw.
Salah in form now that can't be stopped.

Chelsea need this win even more than Arsenal these days. They started the season really terrible and they are desperate to improve their form. They can't get consistent goal contribution from their forward players unfortunately. Indeed they have been quite well for a couple of weeks.

But it is still early to trust Chelsea in my opinion. Moreover Arsenal have been dominant against Chelsea in their last 3 head-to-heads too. They won all of them.

There is a quite big performance gap between these teams this season. As long as Arteta make his players fully ready for the match I don't expect them to get a surprising result.

The game is a 50/50 game for both Arsenal and Chelsea. But without siding either if the clubs since I'm neutral, Arsenal should win. If they could run down Manchester City with a goal. It might seem lucky but still, they have the potentials of winning the game tommorow.
Chelsea needs the win but they will not get it against Arsenal only if important defender's gets Injured.

Winning Arsenal, a side better than they are should be a good idea so they could use that too boost them confidence.

No excuses would be entertained, it's either a wine from any sides of draw. Pochetino has experienced difficulty winning Arsenal as a manager of Tottenham Hotspur, he would still lose again as he faces Arsenal for the first time with Chelsea tommorow.
Chelsea will really have a big task ahead today because defeating Arsenal will be one big thing to do,I think it will really be a hard nut to crack because we all see how Arsenal have grown in the last couple of seasons ago,and looking at Statistics,it only shows that Arsenal have more advantage in this game than Chelsea because in their last  three meetings at Standford Bridge, Arsenal have always be winning,and therefore I ask think history is still saying that Arsenal still have an edge over Chelsea in this game.
But what I'm Still surprised about is the odd they've given to Arsenal in this game which is about 2.15 odds,and the last time they gave them this kind of odd was against City which they won.Therefore we would see how this game would end.

The players did well, fought hard time win the match, the coach as well had some big errors that can't be avoided. Pochetino winning two goals ahead should have made better substute. That alone spoiled the game.
Though for a Chelsea side striving to the top they have done well against a side that won against Manchester City last two weeks in the Premier League.

It's a derby, one point home from Arsenal is a good way to go about it. Arsenal now will have to focus on winning Sevilla in the Champions League. But that will be difficult. Chelsea do not have the qualities to do so

Regardless of Sevilla's current form in both the league and in the UEFA Champions League, playing against them in an European game at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium is one of the scariest matches for any European club because Sevilla are always playing at their best whenever they're playing an European game in front of their home fans.
Arsenal I think knows truly well of the kind of task they're trying to execute and I think Mikel Arteta's men are ready for the encounter. On papers, Arsenal are the favourites to win that game but they must be at their best to take all three points from that game
So basically it is quite difficult for Arsenal to get the full three points against Sevilla. I'm pretty sure that this match has a tense intensity. Sevilla can overwhelm Arsenal even with ideal players. Personally, I would not underestimate Sevilla if they were playing at home. This is a tough task for Arteta and his troops to better control their emotions and be calm. As usual, the mentality of Arsenal players will always be tested and in the Champions League competition it will not be the same as what they experienced in the Premier League.
When it comes to the europa league I'm very sure of Sevilla because their performance in the europa league used to be extraordinary,  they put their best performance in every game they play no matter the team, but as for champions league I'm not too sure about Sevilla if they can succeed to defeat arsenal.  Arsenal are doing well this season,  and I don't think the champions league is a game that they will take for granted,  looking at the players arsenal have compare to that to Sevilla it very possible for arsenal to defeat Sevilla.

After watching Arsenal play today, I considered them good enough to win Sevilla but that will not be happening so. Sevilla has no Competition when it gets to the Europa League. They fail to qualify for another round and they will be sent billow.
Both sides Arsenal and Sevilla had a  tough game together in. Sevilla had a new coach so it's change of plans and change of everything that.
That game will see both sides fighting still. They both couldn't win the games they played today, lets say them, safe recovery.

It has been said many times that Real Madrid has problems in attack without a good center forward. So far they have only relied on Jude Bellingham who is able to score goals almost every match, but when he doesn't do that then Real Madrid is always more likely to have problems.
Shared points between Sevilla and Real Madrid. Jude Bellingham was heavily tackled by Sergio Ramos who was extremely aggressive throughout the game, perhapes both sides records the best performance on the pitch. Los Blancos had their amusing moments but the two goals scored were canceled. The game became more tougher for the visitors because Sevilla did not longer relent, rather they focused more on the weak areas openly vacant by Real Madrid and continue to press their actions from there. Real Madrid struggle to score an equalizing goal against Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuan stadium.

Sergio Ramos will never be seen going easy on younger players that are good and portrays leadership qualities and abilities. Same way he bullied Musiala last season when they faced Bayern in the Champions league, it's same way they planned of doing that.
He had a slight quarrel with Antonio Rudiger but immediately after the game, we saw both of them smiling and saying goodbye after the game.

Real Madrids effort has result best from team work. Stating that Jude Bellingham is the one person that pushed Real Madrid game after game. I really do hope they sign a striker soom.

Kaoru Mitoma has been confirmed as signing a new contract deal with Brighton. This long-term agreement lasts until 2027 and with this decision, it seems that various speculations will arise in the future. From Brighton to the fans, they are certainly happy to welcome this news because the talented Japanese winger can last longer. But one of the speculations that has emerged on social media and has become a hot topic is that this contract extension indirectly means that Brighton wants a very large release clause for Kaoru Mitoma. I think this is one of Brighton's business tricks because they knew that Kaoru Mitoma had been linked with several big teams and therefore they immediately took this step. Surely that would trigger a release clause of up to 100 million euros. Will there be a club willing to pay Kaoru Mitoma's release clause? If there is, which club is capable of doing it?

He was brilliant today facing Kyle Walker as he caused him very hard time today, Manchester City may have won the game, but I've seen a totally different Mitoma. He extended his contract to silence all critics and bluffing going on.
I hope he takes his game to the next level.

Speedy recovery to Neymar Junior. This is really the time he needs those called friends and siblings around him showing love.
What's with the Jose Mourinho saga, has he decided to leave As Roma? They should get to sign all the players he needs, he needs no introduction.

Manchester united might have scored the 1st goal but they're not really performing well against Sheffield United, a team that's I'm the Champions League shouldn't be performing poorly against Sheffield United, I don't understand why their players would be doing very well in their country matches and even score goals and give assists but find it difficult to perform like that in the league matches, they're still very wrong in their decision making they barely understand themselves on the pitch and always give wrong passes.

 The game is currently 1-1 draw in the 1st half and after McTominay scored to put them In front he still carelessly gave out a penalty and if Sheffield United had very good and sharp attackers I believe they would had scored more in the 1st half cause they got many chances from  counter attack, however United would had been ahead at the 44th minutes of the game been the free kick from Bruno Fernandes hit the woodwork, it would've been a very fantastic goal.

The clubs a total disaster, Manchester United players can not settle down the ball and make good ten to fifteen touches of the ball. Manchester United is such a boring side to watch.
The goal scored by Tominay was also a very big blunder that lead to it. Bruno Fernandez gave a pass too high above the chest level but glad to see Mc Tominay was there to send it home.

There's no link up play between the defenders and midfielder's all I've seen so far are irregular and passes not accurate enough. A defense of Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans?
These both are not meant to play for  Manchester United.

Julian Brandt was the salvation player on Dortmund victory, that man really smart he stand in the right position and didn't miss a golden opportunity to scored. With that 3 points, indeed it took them to the top position in the standings, but we still have Leverkusen which are could possibly regain the top position.
Leverkusen will face Wolfsburg away which is the only advantage Wolfsburg has. In their recent previous matches, these teams were quite equal but this season Leverkusen is a different team, more powerful and more convincing. I expect them to win.



Leverkusen can't have a hard game against Wolfsburg at all because right now Wolfsburg is not in good form and they are in the seventh place in the Bundesliga, they got 12 points in the seen game they had in the league which means the performance of Wolfsburg was not good at all while Leverkusen is currently race of the first place of the league and they can't lose this opportunity to earn the full three points from this match.



Bayern Leverkusen might be so hard and tough to go hard on though but all I see in this game is both sides sharing that point. Twelve points out of 7 they've not done so well but at least they maintain a good position and if they end up safe, the qualification for the Champions League is certain.
Bayern Munich should win tomorrow getting three points,  ( 20 points ) Bayern Leverkusen drawing tomorrow, sharing a point ( 20 points )
Stuggart I'm not so sure to talk.

Julian Brandt scored a beautiful in pass from Emre Can, they Dortmund attacked and created chances well, good they could score to prepare themselves for the away trip to Newcastle.

Addition to what you've said, all four fixtures against Real Madrid and Barcelona won them all. ~

Hmm what? Real Madrid won the first game against Barcelona last season with a score of 3-1 and knocked them out of the Spanish Cup. I don’t understand how you can write something that didn’t happen? Is it really difficult to check information if you yourself don’t remember exactly?
As for the strengths of the teams this season, of course Real looks like the clear favorite, although the bookmakers give it a modest advantage before the head-to-head meeting.

No. No. No. I don't mean to be rude but you've got to go do your check properly. Three to one goal was 2022. That was the last game of the season and Real Madrid won.

I got it wrong, Last season, Barcelona and Real Madrid met five times or four times. Twice was during the Copa Del Ry and Real Madrid won the first game with four goals to nothing, Barcelona later won the other leg with three goals to nothing.
Go check it out and see you're not correct.
~

Okay, let me explain how wrong I am if you write that Barcelona won 4 games last season, but the facts are that out of four games (we don’t take the Super Cup) Real won 2?
Even just look at what I highlighted, don’t you think that your words contradict your other words? I hope you can explain what you meant and where you got confused.

Why reject the Super Cup? I'd love to know why!

I did go back to check properly,  Both El Classico games, Barcelona won, two goals to one and then the other one to nil. The Super Cup saw Real Madrid winning the first game and Barcelona the second leg of the super cup.

That's to say they met four times in a season and Barcelona won three ( two for La Liga and the third Super Cup ) how's this difficult to understand?

A great risk for Osimhen entering the Chelsea squad, IMO

I won't say that. That's the best environment for the growth of Victor Oshime, they need a young player like him. A cycle of young players.
That Chelsea squad would be awesome and great with his addition.
With Palmer behind Victor Oshime, Nkuku and the left wing and Raheem Sterling on the right, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo pairing behind Palmer, they'll be the best club in Europe. But is Pochetino still the man for the Job?

Osimhen going to Chelsea now would be very wrong for his career. Chelsea doesn't need a young striker, they need an experienced striker, someone like Harry Kane.
The best place for Osimhen could have been Bayern Munich but they already got Kane now. He has to think carefully before committing to join any other club. Juventus would not be a bad destination either.

I've just read a new related to Julian Alvarez joining Real Madrid and that is no rumor the young Argentine is ready to make a move of they come to agreement with Manchester City.
Rodrygo has been dormant this season, he could be sent on loan, as Real Madrid expectse the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Julian Alvarez. Alvarez will make sense, I'd love to see that happening.

Julian Alvarez to Madrid is a good move, but unfortunately, that's not going to happen. There's no way Pep would let him leave, except he really wants to leave.
Alvarez is one of the best U23 players in the world and I don't see how Pep would let a young star like that go.

That I don't agree to. Bayern Munich? They had Sadio Mane and he wasn't protected after having agreements with the heads over more game time with the appointment of a new coach ( Thomas Tuchel ) I won't advice Victor Oshime to move down Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich has Harry Kane and that would never get actualize.

Chelsea is good for Victor Oshime, he African and they don't joke with Africans even from the past. He is the perfect player to replace Didier Drogba. He is a fighter, strong and pacy, good with the head and would benefit from those crosses from Receee James.

Even if Real Madrid wans Kylian Mbappe, he failed them before same can happen, so it'll be peng idea what they have a backup plan and Julian Alvarez suits that perfectly.

Arsenal passed their test against Manchester city although many people say Manchester were without key players like Rodry and Kevin but Arsenal themselves where without Saka and Martinelli was just coming back from injury so they definitely had to work hard for what they got.

Now Arsenal faces Chelsea who also has been coming back in form, I don't think it would be easy for Arsenal because Chelsea has now woken up and I think they have been playing well lately. Although if I was to bet on this my money would be on Arsenal.
Arsenal won Manchester City this season, that's why they're bagging up all the hype this season, I just hoped they fight really hard to remain consistent in forthcoming games. We shouldn't rush into conclusion about tomorrow game because it's definitely going to be really competitive and tough for these elite teams. Arsenal are in good shape and unbeaten this season while Chelsea have bounce back to winning form, I strongly believe the North West London derby will be tough one to predict, besides I will refrained from placing my bet on the game, just to be on the safer side tomorrow.
Minus hypertension the truth is that arsenal is really doing well in their performance this season,  the game they defeated Manchester City was not by luck but arsenal played a beautiful game that was why they were able to win the game.  Chelsea just started performing well in their recent games but it is not a guarantee for them to defeat arsenal,  arsenal still have chances of winning the game. If truly Chelsea eventually win the game , then good for them to see them bounce back  because Chelsea is an interesting team that has really suffered from a very poor performance. This is a home game for Chelsea lead .

I'm not gonna lie, that game was very boring. To point at the first half, it was not productive, it seemed watching kindergarten yougins playing soccer. Both sides were pretty disorganized. They got to find rhythm during the second half of the game.
Manchester City should have won only if they had important players they didn't have. That said, they still played like a big team only that they lacked big names.

If Chelsea wins fine for them. Lose, I'll laugh at them fans honestly. Pochetino has always had it difficult to beat Arsenal even when he was coach at Tottenham Hotspur, I don't expect any more. Let's see who wins, I'm just backing gunner's to get three points.

Go check it out and see you're not correct.

Real Madrid looks like favorites until the ens of 90 minutes. I don't want to pick a side, but I'm rooting for Barcelona to win Spanish League once again this season.

If I may ask, are you certain that Barcelona will claim the league title this year? Although Barcelona is well renowned for their strong performances and is one of the top teams in La Liga, I want you to check the condition that Barcelona players are currently in before making any predictions on who will win the league title. I believe that the league has not advanced that far, but if Barcelona player's did not return in time it will affect them. Many Barcelona players are currently injured, and even before that Barcelona was still in third place.

Real Madrid also has injured players, but given how well the team has performed this year and how quickly those players have recovered, only Courtios and Militao will miss the remainder of the campaign. Because these two teams are so strong and skilled at playing one another, I am unable to predict the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, there is one aspect of their game that bothers me: fighting. Real Madrid and Barcelona haven't played together before, so I can't guarantee that there won't be any misunderstandings. That is the only aspect of their match that bothers me.

I'm certain to an extent, not hundred percent though, I'm rooting for Barcelona just like I did last season, I knew Xavi Hernandez was Gon win something in his second season. It's been like that for some Barcelona debut managers.
It's not really about now you get me? Barcelona has the depth and players to win the Spanish La Liga with all due respect.
They had similar Injuries and Xavi Hernandez handled the squad with the list of players present.

It's Round 9 if not Round 10 of the matches played, Barcelona are not so far away from the top of that league, don't they dare let it slip away.
I still don't doubt Real Madrid. Though, I'm still of the opinion that, without a natural number nine, they're not going to win the league.

Lukaku refused playing for Chelsea not even that, he refused retuning for training sections with the club and said he will no longer play for them.
Same happened with Inter Milan, the fans rejected him and same goes to his friend and former teammate who he once defended on and off the pitch Laturo Martinez. In the time of struggle when Lukaku needed them support he had none.

Both for Roma and Belgium. He has scored some good number of goals should be five goals in Seria A ( I'm not so sure. ) Wow, that's awesome, being the top scorer ahead of Ronaldo and other top European players. He has worked hard for this honestly.
Romelu Lukaku was a traitor in the eyes of Inter fans and his colleagues including the administration of the team when he was talking with them and Juventus at the same time. That was an explosive emotional reaction from them and it could be understood.
Otherwise, Lukaku is successful in UEFA EURO Qualifiers 2024 with 10 goals scored making him the best scorer until now followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with 9 goals. In Serie A he was ranked fifth with five goals scored indeed.
Fitting in a club and not in another one is the problem that frequently found among players. No need to try to prove yourself in a team where you fail to adapt, that's what Romelu Lukaku did with Chelsea.

Lukaku didn't blend right into the way Chelsea fans desired. Also, being left footed affected him and it was same issues with Manchester United. A right footer would have been superb otherwise
Good he can now score and gain confidence.


Southgate is indeed lucky but he is not able to utilize the list of talented players before him rather he selects players into his line up with lots of bias. He remains a tactical poor coach.

During the FIFA World Cup Competition, he should have won that game against France to qualify for the finals but he screwed everything.
Let's head back to the Euros and he could have won the game before that penalty shoot out. I don't want to blame him more, you could talk for years and will see no change.

It's the reason i want Pep Guardiola to be managing that squad before they go for the next FIFA World Cup Competition, bit that would only be fantasies you know.

But even if England were able to bring in Pep Guardiola, that still wouldn't guarantee the win of trophies. I think when you compare the best few teams there are in Europe and in the world right now, it would always be a thrilling matchup. Whether it is Argentina vs. France or France vs. England or Spain vs. a team like Croatia or Brazil. There it is not always about one team being 2% better than the other. Moments decide games, a free kick, a penalty that may or may not have been awarded. The way to the final and then to win it is not only in the hands of the coach or the players, it also has to do with very little events during a game.

Agreed. Just like Harry Kane had a penalty to score to keep them on in the game against France during the FIFA World Cup but failed to do so. Pep Guardiola's a top notch manager in the world. This English players have qualities all they need is a sounds and tactical genius to lead the boys. Pep Guardiola would want it.

Now Arsenal faces Chelsea who also has been coming back in form, I don't think it would be easy for Arsenal because Chelsea has now woken up and I think they have been playing well lately. Although if I was to bet on this my money would be on Arsenal.

I can't wait to see how they play against Chelsea. Arsenal is playing well this year and managed to get 3 points from critical matches. Chelsea, on the other hand, still could not reach the expected performance. When we look at the statistics, it is possible to say that Arsenal will win this match. I think the best option to bet on is Arsenal, I'm sure we will watch a good match Smiley

Kai Havertz to would be returning back to Stamford Bridge, I do hope he gets a warm welcome. He has been a big flop even with Arsenal.
Trying to boost his confidence, Arsenal players let him take the penalty in and game and he ended up scoring.
Personally, I will consider him and big scam, Chelsea benefited a big deal from his sake but hasn't done enough still.

Agreed! Arsenal wins with all due respect. Arsenal doesn't win and they'll both go home with a single point. Another safe option is to double chance Arsenal to either win or they should be winning either of the half.

When it comes to Newcastle there is a big potential in them to finish their group stage even as leader. Because we must have all watched how they demolished PSG not much time ago.  Grin  Despite Milan's high dominance in San Siro Newcastle managed to resist them and get that one point also.

Truthfully I think the matches against Dortmund will also go really well for Newcastle. I think they can get at least 4 points.

I think Newcastle will lose only once in Group F and that will be against PSG away.  Grin

At home Borrussia Dortmund have just won the game tonight, now they'll recover and go prepare for war against Newcastle United. They both look good but my verdict would be passed tommorow once Newcastle is done playing.
I'm not expecting a soft tie, a rough and hard one is mandatory, it'll be shameful to see  Borrussia Dortmund leaving for Europa League.

Since Dortmund will be away, I expect them to attack vigorously. They should be the first to score a goal if they take good use of whatever chances got.
I'll be excited only of they can go top of the group, Manchester United struggling so I'll be supporting the rest of the Premier League clubs present in the Champions League.

A great risk for Osimhen entering the Chelsea squad, IMO

I won't say that. That's the best environment for the growth of Victor Oshime, they need a young player like him. A cycle of young players.
That Chelsea squad would be awesome and great with his addition.
With Palmer behind Victor Oshime, Nkuku and the left wing and Raheem Sterling on the right, Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo pairing behind Palmer, they'll be the best club in Europe. But is Pochetino still the man for the Job?

I've just read a new related to Julian Alvarez joining Real Madrid and that is no rumor the young Argentine is ready to make a move of they come to agreement with Manchester City.
Rodrygo has been dormant this season, he could be sent on loan, as Real Madrid expectse the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Julian Alvarez. Alvarez will make sense, I'd love to see that happening.

Lukaku has been unstoppable so far. He has 10 goals in 7 matches in the qualifiers. I mean he has a direct contribution to most of their goals. This performance is one of the main factors behind Belgium's having a really successful group stage. De Bruyne has been injured and he will be out for a long time as well.

I thought this would create some problems for Belgium when it comes to creativity and productivity. But Lukaku has made up for his absence really great so far. Do you think Belgium can be successful in Euro 2024 as well?

He struggled with Inter Milan, and Manchester United after Jose Mourinho left, I'm happy to see him buzzing scoring goals an having fun, not just with the National Team but with his club side.
He's been able to silence all of the critics but not all of them. It's good to have a highly and mentally strong coach by his side. The goals he's scored now has led to the rise of his price valuation.

I'd love to see Kevin De Bruyne back, they Belgium didn't do so well during the FIFA World Cup Competition, now it's time for redemption, they can make things up if they work together towards achieving this.
I can't predict that for them, they had it all and couldn't, if thry believe thry would, then they would.

Romelu Lukaku left Inter Milan last season after helping the Italian club to reach the UEFA Champions League final for the first time since 2010 that they defeated  Bayern Munich to win. After he returned to his parent club Chelsea, the Belgium striker wasn't getting offers from big European clubs despite all his footballing prowess at Inter Milan last season. It was AS Roma that later signed him on loan from Chelsea in the last days of the summer transfer window.
However, Lukaku has proven to be the driving force behind Belgium's qualification to the European championship as he's currently the top scorer in the Euro qualifiers. What a turnaround.


Lukaku refused playing for Chelsea not even that, he refused retuning for training sections with the club and said he will no longer play for them.
Same happened with Inter Milan, the fans rejected him and same goes to his friend and former teammate who he once defended on and off the pitch Laturo Martinez. In the time of struggle when Lukaku needed them support he had none.

Both for Roma and Belgium. He has scored some good number of goals should be five goals in Seria A ( I'm not so sure. ) Wow, that's awesome, being the top scorer ahead of Ronaldo and other top European players. He has worked hard for this honestly.

Lukaku made silly mistakes on the field when playing for Inter Milan. Fans often criticize him. This is the pressure that makes him increasingly lose focus and performance. Inter Milan fans still believe that Lukaku is the one who blew away the chance to win the Champions League last season.
Lukaku to AS Roma. Lukaku is feeling happy and full of emotions when contributing to the club. The fans here respect him. But Lukaku is still an amateur actor who is afraid of flashing lights. A startled, clumsy, confused, indecisive Lukaku will still appear when pressure surrounds him.

Unfortunately Lukaku has made a bad name for himself. It`s not easy to go back when you`ve said or done things that annoy the fans, this is unfortunately what happens today.

Imagine that Rino Gattuso had his contract taken away because the fans couldn`t stand him, absurd things that happen when fans think with their gut and not with their head. Happen.


Romelu Lukaku though has scored good number of goals this season, it wouldn't be nice if he starts focusing on the past. So far, he has contributed firmly and had a good relationship with Paula Dybala.

I read a news of  a Monza player suspended for being positive to the test results of doppin just like Paul Pogba. What's with all these sad news.

The younger players infused into the first team by Allergri better take the chances they have seriously, they will never have that again if they joke with it. AC Milan now looks likely to win after all this absence. Juventus should still qualify for the Champions League next season after all these problems they have faced.

Addition to what you've said, all four fixtures against Real Madrid and Barcelona won them all. ~

Hmm what? Real Madrid won the first game against Barcelona last season with a score of 3-1 and knocked them out of the Spanish Cup. I don’t understand how you can write something that didn’t happen? Is it really difficult to check information if you yourself don’t remember exactly?
As for the strengths of the teams this season, of course Real looks like the clear favorite, although the bookmakers give it a modest advantage before the head-to-head meeting.

No. No. No. I don't mean to be rude but you've got to go do your check properly. Three to one goal was 2022. That was the last game of the season and Real Madrid won.

I got it wrong, Last season, Barcelona and Real Madrid met five times or four times. Twice was during the Copa Del Ry and Real Madrid won the first game with four goals to nothing, Barcelona later won the other leg with three goals to nothing.
Go check it out and see you're not correct.

Real Madrid looks like favorites until the ens of 90 minutes. I don't want to pick a side, but I'm rooting for Barcelona to win Spanish League once again this season.
