Celta Vigo had a goal disallowed due to foul in the first minutes. But even if the goal was given to them I think Real Madrid would have still found a way to win the game. Rodrygo missed a penalty as well but this also didn't prevent them from winning here. Bellingham was the savior for the team and he just continues to score goals in each game.
I was able to predict only which side to win. I thought Celta Vigo would score a goal as well but they couldn't. They had many goal attempts actually but still it wasn't enough. The exact same formation was seen in this game and it still works decently. 3 wins in 3 games now for Real Madrid. It is a wonderful start.

I do not know where Ramos will end up eventually, but I can tell you that whoever gets him will be quite upset about him. This dude is 37 years old and no matter how hard he trains his body will not be able to defend players that are younger and faster.
If you are 20-25 year old something striker and can't run past Ramos, then you are not a good striker to begin with. This is why most teams these days are looking for defenders that are fast, we are no longer in those days of hard tackle defenders, teams look for quick and agile defenders instead. Ramos was probably one of the best defenders in history 10 years ago, but nowadays at 37 he is not going to be helpful to any team. If he was cheap I would understand but paying this much to an old Ramos makes no sense.
Galatasaray are seriously interested in him now. They say that this transfer will happen if Galatasaray secure the group stage in the Champions League. However his demands are too high. I'm curious about whether they have offered their own terms to Ramos and a middle way will be found. If they will meet Ramos' expectations then they will need to spend a lot of money. For a 37-year-old defender I don't know whether it is worth it. The deal would be for two years probably but I can't be confident about his performance to be consistent for now. |

Sterling was the star of the night I think. Because he scored two goals and played a big role in Chelsea's capturing the psychological superiority to their opponent. I'm glad to see that Jackson also started to score by this game. They really need his contribution as much as possible in the absence of Nkunku.
It surprised me to see them not conceding a goal against Luton. Because Luton also found many opportunities to score. If they had more capable players this game couldn't have ended with a comfortable score for Chelsea. Chelsea still need to get better to be consistent but this might be a start.

Juventus - Bologna is another game on the week. Juventus started solid but being consistent is the most important point. Bologna got a defeat by Milan at the beginning of the season. Juventus can also take advantage of their weaknesses actually to maintain a winning streak. Juventus seem to be really strong at attacking now.
Maybe it would be a similar game to the one against Udinese. Juventus would like to finish the job in the first half already and then just focus on keeping the advantage to the end. Let's see if Vlahovic will score again as well. As long as he does well he would secure his future here.

Real Madrid are playing against Celta Vigo away today. Honestly my expectations from this game are to see Real Madrid getting a decent win and both teams scoring at the same time. Considering their latest head-to-head games Celta Vigo were able to score a goal against them at least. I think they will manage to do it again.
However Real Madrid have made a really solid start to the new season. Therefore I think they would win this game one way or another still. Bellingham is in a great form so he would be the key player in this game again. I guess we would see a 4-3-1-2 formation again as well.

Chelsea are starting the week with a Luton game today. I expect nothing different than a clear victory for them honestly. It is time for Chelsea to get their first win of the season after that poor start. I can understand the draw against Liverpool. Their performance was still decent there. But against West Ham that loss is unacceptable.
Luton are one of the new teams around here and Brighton destroyed them by 4-1 on the first week already. I know that Brighton are in a way better condition than Chelsea. But this is still a serious opportunity for Chelsea to get their first win. Winning without conceding a goal would also be some extra morale for them.

Kane resembles Lewandowski about especially one thing that he is also an amazing scorer. Besides for now he seems that he has started to adapt quickly. But still it is difficult to say something about his consistency during the season. If he manages to score 20+ goals in the league in his first year here then he deserves to be applauded loudly.
Maybe the same thing can happen to Kane which happened to Haaland. Haaland came to Manchester City and started to score so many goals in his first season there already. Kane is another world class striker who can score many goals here if he doesn't have much problem.

A good start from Milan but we will see whether they can be consistent at the same time. They are one of the top teams with most amount of transfers this summer. These transfers should show their effect on the team during the season of course. This must mean that Milan really want to be more competitive this time.
Giroud is still impressive. He had a great start with a goal and an assist. I have been doubting his performance for this season but this was like an answer to me. However it is still early of course. Milan should be able to get efficiency from their attackers as much as possible.
I will see Ac Milan full strength when they face equally strong teams like Napoli, Juventus or inter milan because these teams can provide a balanced game for them this season. If you look at the changes in the Ac milan squad, of course they already have an attacker who has the instinct to score goals every game like Pulisic. In the previous match when AC Milan faced Bologna, where in that match if we look at the AC Milan defense, of course they had a little trouble in breaking the attacks carried out by Bologna players. Because Bologna was able to create many attacks in that match. So that Pioli must be able to make his team perform optimally in maintaining their line of defense in the upcoming matches. I can agree that Milan weren't the best when it comes to defending. But somehow they still didn't concede any goal. But this is a worrying point for Milan of course. As this is only the beginning of the season I see it quite normal. Players might have some difficulties in focusing on their game completely at the beginning. However hopefully we will see some more improvement at defending by increase in the concentration level of the players. Milan's job is really difficult when it comes to being a part of the title race this season. But if they keep a consistent form as long as possible they can upset the balances. |

I wouldn't expect much thing to do from Neuer from now on. I must admit that he is one of the most skilled goalkeepers in history. But now he has got really old and this long-running injury would be likely to affect his performance from now on as well. Bayern Munich shouldn't make their plans according to him in this position anymore.
Peretz might change something here maybe depending on his effort. He needs to prove himself to Tuchel first. We will see whether he is really that promising. Bayern Munich have focused on their attacking line recently but they should be able to stay strong in defense on one hand.

We might see Eden Hazard back in the English Premier League again after many years. Because Crystal Palace are said to be interested in signing him while he is free agent. This deal would still carry risks as well of course. Because Hazard had serious level of injury problems at Real Madrid so far. This is one of the main reasons why he was released.
Still I would like to watch Hazard in the EPL again. Maybe he has got quite old but he can still do some decent job here. He couldn't adapt to the La Liga well so maybe being back in England would be beneficial for him. His times at Chelsea are still unforgettable.

Pochettino hasn't got the right mix of players in his squad. Chelsea are still struggling in their first two matches. even against West Ham, Chelsea conceded 3 goals.
Pochettino made Chelsea's game more interesting in midfield. but there are no good options up front. balls that are passed forward are always raw and only result in non-goal opportunities.
maybe news regarding them having to include Lukaku in the team could be a good option for Pochettino. I'm sure he knows exactly what his team is lacking at the moment.
I have heard that Lukaku is doing training with U21 team now. It is said that he hasn't even communicated with Pochettino on his future as well. If this is really true then there is no way Lukaku is returning to the main squad from now on. He is clearly not wanted there and I hope they can find a team for him as soon as possible. It would be better if they manage to send him on a permanent deal to a team. It was nearly happening between Chelsea and Juventus a little while ago. But there wasn't an agreement on cash while they were trying to agree on a cash plus player deal. Maybe Saudi Arabia would be the best for him indeed. |

Real Madrid already had a great squad before the transfers this summer. They only needed to make some transfers for certain areas and that was going to be enough for them. Bellingham is a wonderful transfer to the midfield. I would have waited for them to do the same for the centre-forward position as well but it looks like they won't.
But for now things are going on nicely for them. As they haven't brought anyone as a replacement of Benzema to the starting lineup Ancelotti has found a new formula. I wouldn't have expected to see Vinicius Junior playing in a forward position. But he can still play freely from his position as he is much more beneficial with his dribblings from his wing.

Luis Henrique has bad start with PSG in Ligue 1 after losing many points last two games, still can't win in last two matches could be warning for Henrique upcoming next match. Probably its not mistake from Luis Henrique disappointed result last two matches because PSG in not full squad after losing many important player, one day before Ligue 1 opening match, PSG have loss Neymar, Veratti and Mbappe automatically Henrique have change their squad for the first match.
Second match against Toulouse still difficult for winning match, I don't think what happen when next match if PSG still can't get first three points in Ligue 1, will Luis Henrique position keep secure?
PSG have made a big change especially in their attacking line. There is a completely new trio now. They started both games without Mbappe as well. As there is no good level of chemistry yet they are having difficulties in scoring goals. They barely scored in their second game which was even thanks to Mbappe's entering the game in the second half. Until the new attackers get used to play together PSG can continue to struggle. Enrique would try his best to solve the problems as soon as possible. He is a really good manager actually but he just needs to be patient to see the development of the team using his system. |

Dortmund are going to have a comfortable game next time. It is against Bochum away. I'm saying it like this because Bochum made a terrible start. They just lost to Stuttgart by a big score like 5-0. This would demoralize them a lot for this game ahead in my opinion. Dortmund should be able to show the quality gap to us here.
In their first game Dortmund didn't seem convincing despite winning against Koln. But it was the beginning of the season and in time they should be getting better. The Bochum game might be an opportunity to improve their performance much more honestly. They should be able to win by at least two goals.

Newcastle - Liverpool is one of the attracting games of the week. Liverpool beat them here in the previous season. Back then Newcastle were again the favourite side according to the odds. It is again the same scenario so far. But I still can't be confident about Liverpool to beat them. Because no matter what it is a tough game against Newcastle.
Because Newcastle are far better than their old times. They still keep up the good work after the previous season as well. Besides they have such a tough fixture that they play against Liverpool right after facing Manchester City. But I feel like Newcastle won't lose again. I expect a draw like 1-1 or 2-2 for this game.

Chelsea are still trying to sell Lukaku as soon as possible. They are hoping for an official offer from Saudi Arabia and Lukaku to accept it as well. Some time ago it was said that Lukaku turned down the interest from Saudi Arabia. But back then Inter were interested in him and he was also keen on signing for them.
But this option isn't available any longer. Therefore Lukaku seems to have no other option than taking a potential offer from Saudi Arabia. Juventus have been interested in him but it is on the condition that they send Vlahovic from the team before.

I think Tottenham have made a good start to the season. Despite losing Kane they are still able to stay quite productive. Collecting 4 points in 2 games is a good work in my opinion. Especially their winning against Manchester United was really unexpected for me honestly. Because I thought Manchester United wouldn't lose.
But Manchester United had serious problems on scoring goals despite having so many goal attempts. Next time Tottenham are playing against Bournemouth away. I think this is a comfortable game for them. I know they drew with Brentford but Bournemouth are a much weaker opponent.

Daniel Peretz is officially about to sign for Bayern Munich. He is a young goalkeeper playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. He has been one of the players who people started to talk about recently. He is said to be a promising goalkeeper. He is only 23 years old so he is open to develop his skills much more in years.
If he really has that much potential as it is said then this can be considered a great transfer for Bayern Munich. However the question is: Will he be able to satisfy the expectations in this season? Because Bayern Munich have lost Sommer so they need a reliable goalkeeper.

Villarreal seem not ready for the new season yet. First the loss against Betis home and after that they had difficulties in beating Mallorca away comfortably. This can be an opportunity for Barcelona to beat them away in their next fixture. Barcelona have already had a superiority to Villarreal in this stadium in the recent years.
I think they will keep up this superiority by this game as well. But maybe it would be a win by one goal. Because Barcelona also don't seem very good at winning in a comfortable way. They just dominate in statistics. But as long as they continue a winning streak they can get better.
