Chelsea got another win which was a really solid one at the same time. I was expecting them to maintain a winning streak. When Burnley got ahead first I must admit that I doubted Chelsea more. However that comeback was really insane. Chelsea played the second half really effectively and won by a big score like 4-1.
It was nice to see Sterling and Jackson scoring goals. Chelsea really need this kind of a contribution from their attackers while they are having difficult days. Their next game is going to be against Arsenal home maybe but at least this winning streak might help them resist more than before.

Lionel Messi could rejoin Barcelona on loan in January if Inter Miami fails to make the MLS play-offs:Now, according to Spanish publication Sport, the La Liga side is making good moves to give Messi the right fit. Barcelona are ready to make a big move to sign Lionel Messi on loan to his boyhood club in January if Inter Miami fails to qualify for the MLS play-offs. Sport says no move has been discussed with Miami at the moment, but it is an option Barcelona is considering. Inter Miami is now five points out of the Eastern Conference playoff spot with three games to play in the regular season. Messi's team does not control its destiny. If Miami makes the post-season, it could mean MLS action will continue with Lionel until December 9, when the MLS Cup Final will take place. Source I'm not confident about this honestly. Because it is really difficult to believe in Messi to just let go of things he has in the USA right now. It is like Messi owns the MLS now considering what he was offered and given. He must be happy with his life in the United States. If he plans to play for at least a few more season before retirement then I think he would like to stay there more than one season. But as for a return to Barcelona it would be possible in the future. I think he would like to have his jubilee at his old team Barcelona which he gave so many of his years in his career.  |

Chelsea's game up next is against Burnley away. Chelsea's win over Fulham the last time was really impressive and they really needed that one. But we need to see more wins from Chelsea side like a winning streak if possible. I think Burnley is just the kind of opponent they would like at the moment.
Burnley have made a poor start to the season as well. I know Chelsea are struggling with injuries on one hand but the current lineup must still be enough to beat Burnley in the same way. I think they can keep away Burnley from scoring a goal but hopefully their scoring productivity would be similar to the Fulham game.

The last game of this week is going to be Rennes - PSG. Of course PSG are favoured by bookmakers clearly. However there is an interesting head-to-head game history between these teams. I mean the games in Rennes' home. Rennes haven't lost to them home since 2018 and won a few games as well. While PSG are this much in trouble they don't convince me at all about winning this game either. Rennes have similar statistics with PSG in the league so far. I think they will motivate themselves very much to get some points. I would rather bet on Rennes' double chance here. |

Brighton are still a failure after leaving the second game week in the Europa League behind. They had big difficulties against Marseille as well and they barely saved one point by making a comeback from a 2-0 disadvantage. For now they are still 1 point behind the second-placed team in their group though.
However the game they play doesn't convince me at all. Brighton were shown as the second biggest title contender for this tournament at the beginning. I assume they aren't like this right now. They should play like how they play in the English Premier League to be competitive for real.

Bayern Munich are going to play a home game against Freiburg this week. Bayern Munich had a big difficulty against Leipzig last week. They could have even lost the game I mean. After that the win against Copenhagen must have given them some boost in morale. This should also have some help for them in this game to get another win.
Freiburg couldn't make a good start. Things are worse than the previous season for now. The win against Augsburg must have been a chance to take a deep breath maybe but I don't think they can steal point from Bayern Munich. I expect a comfortable win by Bayern Munich.

Manchester United and Manchester City both are rumoured to be planning to sign Brighton winger Mitoma in January. I would like to see Manchester United signing him instead because they would make use of a productive player like him more now. They are in a really desperate condition now.
Their defense is in terrible shape you know. At least they can make up for that a little more by scoring more goals. Mitoma is one of the a few members who can really make a big contribution in this way in the Premier League right now.
But who between Manchester City and Manchester United will be able to bring Mitoma because the two teams will definitely make higher offers to really convince Mitoma to choose between the two. Maybe if Manchester City really wanted to bring Mitoma into their squad then they would definitely do something different from Manchester United who are currently not in very good condition even financially I think they are lagging behind Manchester City. Next January there will be transfer window that will open again but it doesn't look like it will be as busy as the previous transfer window because many of Europe top players have left for the Saudi league. However teams that feel they are short of players with vacant positions may want to make several purchases or loans to survive this season. When we look at this situation from this aspect technically Manchester City's hand is much stronger. Both of these teams are rich but Manchester City have been much more successful recently and they have a much more qualified squad as well. However there is a point that we should consider as well. Manchester City already have great players for every position. It is the same for Mitoma's position as well. Therefore I'm doubting his chance for starting eleven. I mean how often can he be in the starting eleven? He would like to have some guarantees for that maybe. |

Inter won their Champions League game while Milan were losing two points once again. But I don't expect any of these teams to get affected by the negative results they get in the Champions League. Because both of their concentration for the Serie A games is just something else. They both are very assertive for the title for now.
I still can't forget about the Inter - Milan game though. But I wouldn't expect a similar result to be seen in their second game in the season. I feel like this will be another season Inter and Milan fight for the league title until the end. But for now it isn't easy to make sure about any side to make it of course.
Inter Milan will face Bologna at home while AC Milan will travel to Genoa's headquarters for the eighth match. In general, Inter Milan's chances are slightly easier to maintain first position in the standings because they are not under great pressure when facing Bologna. Genoa has good capital when facing teams that are much better than them where they can win the match against AS Roma and draw against Napoli, so for AC Milan this is a tough match, especially since the match will take place at Genoa's home ground. The draw they got in the Champions League against Dortmund was not too negative, because they played at Dortmund's home ground and in fact a draw was enough for them even though AC Milan was in third place in group F standings. Inter Milan have a slight advantage because they managed to beat Benfica in the Champions League, so when they face Bologna they have more motivation to maintain first place in the standings. When it comes to these games I'm positive about both of them for Inter and Milan. Bologna have got only 1 loss so far and they have been getting quite many draws. They would try to hold off Inter players by a defensive game for a point here as well most probably. But while Inter are very dangerous with their goal productivity they should be able to win this game. Genoa got a really huge win against Roma recently you know. This was an unexpected result as they won by 4-1. However it was due to Roma's being in terrible condition. I don't think this game will be very challenging for Milan. They should be winning comfortably. |

Let me be direct: Why is everyone under the impression that Arsenal, even at home, can beat Manchester City? They're without Debruyne and Rodri, but don't kid ourselves! Manchester City is lauded on merit. Their team, even when disorganized, is difficult, right? The idea that their absence will hobble City bothers me. In their recent matches against Arsenal, this club has shown impressive skill and planning, winning and drawing. Could team loyalty's political nature be clouding reasonable judgment? Arsenal, while wonderful, need more than home turf advantage to win this match, and I for one am not convinced
But on the other hand I would like to ask you this question: Were you expecting Manchester City to lose against Wolves last week? I assume your answer would be "Absolutely not.". You know how dominant Manchester City were in that game but this still wasn't enough to get even one point. Maybe you will say that Manchester City would play more carefully in this game. I hope to see the same thing from them as well. But I'm still leaving the door open for Arsenal to get at least one point considering their recent form in the Premier League. |

I'm really sorry guys, I didn't expect Beşiktaş to be this bad. 3 goals in 10 minutes. Really a great success.
I'm not a Beşiktaş fan but I feel sorry for them, it was an important match for the country points.
I thought Fenerbahçe would win very easily and differently but they won 2-1. It is enough that they won.
Besiktas shocked their supporters that's for sure. They had a 2-0 lead thanks to Aboubakar's goals. But after Rosier got that red card something started to go really wrong with this team. Lugano had so many goal attempts in the second half. It was a signal for them to score a goal as well. However I never expected them to make a comeback and even win the game. They scored 3 goals in the last 10 minutes. It was really like a joke for Besiktas considering the quality gap between these teams. Maybe Besiktas got a red card but they could have still secured the win easily if they played decently. |

Roma are doing really well in the Europa League at least. Because their start to the Serie A has been really worrying so far. But they are expected to make improvement no matter what. Therefore the Europa League is also very important for them. Mourinho must be still having nightmares about the finale in the previous season.
So far they have started the group stage really strongly. I think they would finish as the leader as well. The most difficult part will be after the group stage. We don't know what teams will be coming from the Champions League too. No matter what they must be aiming the title once again.

Onana has been criticized for weeks for his performance. Altay Bayindir is a good goalkeeper. Erik ten Hag should give him a chance. Altay Bayindir can perform better than Onana these days.
Galatasaray are becoming a better team day by day. After 3 weeks I have no doubt that we will see a better Galatasaray in the match against Bayern Munich. It's easy to say that already. I wish we had won against Copenhagen, then I would have been braver about our chances of qualifying for the next round.
Altay Bayindir has been known as a promising goalkeeper for a long time. However he started to make simple mistakes at Fenerbahce and this went on for some time until leaving the team. But I don't also believe he is a bad goalkeeper in fact. He must have lost his concentration in the recent times which must have led to that result. While Onana is making mistakes quite often Altay might be really given a chance by Erik ten Hag soon. They don't have anything to lose about this topic. If not much thing changes then they have nothing to do other than waiting for one of their goalkeepers to improve or signing a new goalkeeper. |

Tottenham and Arsenal are the only teams without a loss in the Premier League right now. But Tottenham are more interesting side about this record. Because there is a huge difference between this season and the previous one. It looks like they have a comfortable game ahead to get another win.
Their next game is against Luton away and this is the opening game of the week at the same time. I think Tottenham will open the game weekend with a win by at least two goals. Their goal productivity is at a really good level and they should be able to show this against Luton's vulnerable defense too.

Real Madrid have got even stronger rather than getting weaker. I must admit that I was also expecting Real Madrid to lose some power in the attacking line after not making a big striker transfer. But here we are now. We are witnessing Real Madrid having a better season than the previous one. Isn't this a solid improvement?
They are fighting for the La Liga together with Barcelona. On one hand they are doing pretty well in the Champions League with a start of 2 wins. They even beat Napoli away in a tough game most recently. Things are going fine for Real Madrid for now.

Dortmund are going to host Union Berlin this time. They are on a winning streak of three games currently. It feels like they are likely to add another win to their streak and move on. Because Union Berlin are way worse than the previous season at the moment. They lost their last 4 league games. They can't get good results in the Champions League either.
They simply have concentration problems despite the start they made to the season with 2 wins. While their defense is very vulnerable Dortmund should be able to make use of this and their being in-form both. I expect a comfortable win for Dortmund here.

I'm looking forward to watching the Arsenal - Manchester City game at the weekend. Manchester City are favoured of course but the gap of odds isn't very big. Because Arsenal are also as good as them in the league these days. In terms of general quality and effort Manchester City are still one step ahead that's for sure.
But this time might be different. It depends on how Arteta will prepare his players for the game. Their last rendezvous here didn't end well for Arsenal if you remember. Arteta is Guardiola's student so maybe he can develop a new strategy to deal with them better this time.

A score like 4-1 is indeed too much for PSG. Maybe they aren't consistent but they should have been able to get a decent result at least. Newcastle treated them like they were a small team. I'm curious about what Luis Enrique is thinking about this embarrassing loss now. I wonder the same for Mbappe as well.
Clearly PSG won't be successful in the Champions League this season as well. They have too many things to fix. This could lead to Mbappe's making his decision on his future easier. I assume he would rather join a more successful team from now on.

Their fixture is really challenging these days. PSV, Vallecano, Real Madrid and Arsenal are their next opponents respectively. I'm not very positive about especially the last two games but maybe they can do something good against PSV and especially Vallecano.
They are currently struggling against PSV where they still can't develop the rhythm they want until the 20th minute. In terms of conditions PSV is clearly more advantaged in this match because after all they play home and this will clearly benefit with their performance in domestic competitions that are very good where 7 matches managed to pass with a victory but in terms of experience Sevilla is clearly much bigger for the Champions League. Sevilla must try to get 3 points or at least 1 point in this match because indeed this can further break their spirit for further matches in La Liga especially for the next few weeks there are matches against Madrid and Arsenal which surely this will not be easy if they lose momentum in this match and against Vallecano. Sevilla were nearly beating PSV despite that bad performance. I mean PSV were dominating the game in general but Sevilla still managed to score 2 goals. They even answered PSV's second goal in a very short time. But the goal PSV scored in the last moments of the stoppage time devastated Sevilla players as they were dreaming of a win.  Still their group is in decent condition for Sevilla though. Because Lens managed to beat Arsenal surprisingly. But Sevilla will need to get some wins on the upcoming weeks otherwise we might see them in the Europa League once again. |
