Clubs usually don't wait for any players, while in a position where a player is needed, the club immediately fills the void with an experienced player, but in the case of Real Madrid, we see something different. Real Madrid have yet to fill the void left by Karim Benzema. Real Madrid are willing to wait a season but they are not willing to sign another striker. If Real Madrid appoints a main striker in their team, it will surely be Mbappe. Without Karim Benzema, Real Madrid have become a bit of a haphazard team, but without Mbappe, Real Madrid are not thinking about anything. Real Madrid may have planned to sign a good striker, albeit a little late.

The start of the season was good enough for Barcelona to steal the standings while Madrid's condition was still inconsistent. Against Atletico Bilbao was not easy and Ancelotti had to show the results of his players' training in that match. Still without Arda Guller so I hope he recovers quickly from his injury and can help attack. Real Madrid's schedule will be packed so it is hoped that the new players will be able to provide a better boost than last season.

Can't wait for the Premier League to roll around again, now there are only a few days left, at the weekend we can enjoy Premier League matches.

Burnley is a team rising to the Premier League, their chances of winning with Manchester City are few, but it is not impossible that there is no resistance from Burnley, I think it must be interesting.

Currently the odds offered by the bookies are also too far between them but clearly the victory is in favor of Manchester City.

Yes, Benzema's contribution is indeed very high, we have seen how his contribution and influence is at the club, especially when competing on the field. He's like a soul. It is clear how different the team is when Benzema is there and not when the club is playing. And at the moment, there is no substitute for Benzema who is in line with expectations, so Real Madrid's performance has indeed declined significantly, even though they have bought several young players, this is not enough to say that Real Madrid is ready to compete with other big clubs in the world.

Harry Kane looks like he will almost stay with Tottenham until the end of his contract because Tottenham again rejected an offer from Bayern Munich for the third time. I think Bayern Munich will give up on chasing harry kane and will wait until the contract is over to be able to bring Harry kane to the Allianz Arena stadium.

If Harry Kane goes to Bayern Munich, Harry Kane can automatically play in the Champions League this season. However, Levy really kept Harry Kane from staying with Tottenham because Levy refused all offers that came to recruit Harry Kane. Some even say that if Tottenham let Harry Kane go then Tottenham will face serious problems this season where they have to fight from the relegation zone (this is really quite a funny opinion but shocking to hear)

Real madrid has more disadvantages next season compared with barcelona.

- Old and underperform players
- Lost its best striker (Benzema contributed a lot last season)

It makes me feel that if real madrid may be trophyless in upcoming season. Im feeling if barcelona looks like superior compared with real madrid. The results from pre season matches were very disappointing for me as madrid fans. My expectation for real madrid especially josely and bellingham were too big.
Madrid can always rely upon vini. this guy is always becoming a player with most contribution to the club. Real madrid is also having garbage backs.

The result against juventus told me a lot of madrid really needs a new right back at this moment. Some players are losing their prime.

Vini and valverde were the only players that still consistent at this moment.

Surprisingly Juventus are not very aggressive in hunting for players in the transfer market this time, no one knows for sure whether it has something to do with the club's finances or the rules that limit Juventus. There are still many weaknesses in several positions and this will make it difficult for Allegri to keep up with the games of other teams and the loss of several players will also make Juventus weak next season in the competition for the top five league.

Getting the Champions League title is not as easy as other domestic leagues, the Champions League is a collection of great teams all over Europe so it will not be easy for Barcelona to achieve that dream even though they have brought their team to a great performance.

The Champions League has a different sensation and the mentality of coaches and players is still influential if they do not have deep experience in the UCL, I believe Barcelona this time will be better to go to UCL even though the previous season could only stop at the group stage.

I have strong belief in Barca this upcoming season and I know since they didn't qualify for the champions league last season,

The owner of Newcastle United is Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. And now Newcastle are the richest club in the Premier League. At the same time, the Public Investment Fund is also ready to spend a lot of money. But the Newcastle management is very experienced. They want to stabilize the team slowly. And I'd say the Newcastle management wouldn't be wrong to trust coach Eddie Howe.

Newcastle management did not spend much money. And they didn't include any star players in the squad. They added Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes to the squad. And both of them are midfielders and young players. I guess coach Eddie Howe has different plans. He wants to build the team fit to win the Champions League title in the next few years. And so he is investing money in young players.

Napoli might need the money, what if Victor Osimhen doesn't need it for now? It takes the two to agree on this and I don't know how the guy would agree to such a contract that could affect his career for life. He is still very young with a very bright future, and could still move to at least 3 other clubs to try his luck in the Champions League and others before he proceeds for such an offer that is centred on money. I will never advise him to move from Europe for now, career building is still more important and the huge monetary offer will still later come.

Newcastle needs to bring in some quality players ahead of the start of the new season, this season the competition in the EPL is very competitive, the clubs that failed to finish in the top four last season have made big changes in order to maintain competition in the top positions while competing to finish in first place. Newcastle will also play in the Champions League this season, a stronger team is needed to survive in the competition.
Other teams are in the process of forming new forces, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have already spent large sums of money fighting for the best positions. Newcastle must immediately bring in great players to survive at the top of the standings while at the same time making a surprise in the Champions League.

Its 76th Independence day for Pakistan and good thing is we are growing on this forum also. Thanks to one of our very active member Hamza2424 (he is active 24x7x365), we constantly get out monthly stats on time. Here are our recent monthly stats https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232519.msg62646329#msg62646329. We have 38 active members in our community and chances are we be getting our board very soon. Fingures are crossed on this independence day.

Of course, whether it's a friendly match or an official match, it doesn't matter for El Classico, but I think a little less importance is given to the friendly match. At least Ancelotti gave me that impression. He is currently looking for the most suitable combination for his team and so he tries a lot of tactics and players in each match. When we create the best roster rotation with these players, we can watch the real El Classico.

I think have three teams are strong candidate for winning Premier League season 2023/24 are Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

It should not be forgotten that El Classco is a friendly match. Therefore, it would be wrong to think that Real Madrid suffered a heavy defeat against Barcelona. Almost all the players changed and Barcelona won 3-0 after scoring 2 goals in the last minutes. This is good for them, of course, but I don't know if it's enough for La Liga, which is a long marathon.

Don't forget there are thousands of sleeping bitcoin in wallets that are supposed to belong to whales. These wallets have tendency to shake the whole crypto market with just moment.

As far as halving s concerned, everyone is looking at it as the next main event which will take Bitcoin to next ATH. The reason for this believe is the historical data that says after every halving Bitcoin price goes up.

Osimhen's current market value is €120m, but I assume Napoli set a minimum transfer fees around €150m. It is surely a huge amount of money, only big clubs like Real Madrid or PSG that can pay the transfer fees. I also doubt that AC Milan or Inter Milan is interested to sign Osimhen, they may prefer to sign cheaper strikers. There are still many other strikers who have cheaper prices although the prices of most players are getting higher right now.

We don't know what the plan for Osimhen, but I think Napoli is better to sell him as soon as possible. I am not sure Napoli still can perform as well as the last season, Osimhen price will decrease if Napoli performance is decreasing. Unless getting a bigger money in the next transfer window, the top clubs may be not interested anymore with Osimhen. Napoli must let him leaving in the current transfer window if they want sell him at the best price.

Finally, PSG won a friendly game and this time they were playing against Jeonbuk, however, this South Korean team was not strong enough to stand against PSG and the superstars they have but still maybe the good thing about this game was PSg finally showing good performance with Neymar, even if they didn't have Mbappe and Messi but for this game Neymar was enough to win this game and he scored one goal. Maybe Neymar is going to have a good return in the next season after the last season he lost.
