It seems like Conor Gallagher is on his way to Atletico Madrid.

It looks like the sides have agreed upon a 40 million euros fee. This would be a great deal for Atletico Madrid honestly. Because Gallagher is one of the really good talents in midfield. Comparing him to the current CMs in Atletico Madrid squad, I believe he can outperform all of them. I don't mean they are weak of course but I see him as more talented. I wouldn't sell him if I were in Chelsea's place. I like his game. He is a fighter in midfield. 

Glad to learn that Conor Gallagher have finally agreed to join Atletico Madrid after weeks of speculations surrounding the future of the England international. Since the summer transfer window opened, it's been reported that Chelsea have received different offers for Gallagher including the one from Crystal Palace but he turned down all of them. The first offer from Atletico Madrid was also turned down but now, he's accepted to move to the Spanish capital. I totally agree with you about his proficiency as a fantastic midfielder and I believe his presence is going to further improve the Atletico Madrid team ahead of next season.

Barcelona have wonderkids like Lamine Yamal but Barcelona's failure to recruit Dani Olmo and Nico Williams means they won't be able to compete with Real Madrid this season. I actually hope to see el classico like before but it looks like I have to wait until next season.

In fact, I don't want to underestimate every team in La Liga next season.  Indeed, Madrid has better transfers, but that is not the main guarantee. Just look at the trials, even Madrid struggled and lost.  Maybe it's too early for us to talk about Barcelona's strength because of the failed transfer. I'm a Madrid fan, but I don't feel like they're playing at their best tempo as they do a few pre-season games.

[dzungmobile]

As far as I know, Real Madrid is not a team that should sacrifice one trophy and focus on another. They really have a solid squad and good squad depth. I think Real Madrid will still dominate La Liga. UCL will have a new format and so far the teams that I think will be able to compete in the new UCL format are Real Madrid and City. I still don't see another team that can be on the same level as them.

Real Madrid are strong and have very deep player resource and with their successful tradition and high ambition, they will want to win as many titles as they can. In each season, they will have to adjust their plans, and sometimes will have to focus more on one or two competitions and less focus on others. A smart coach will be realistic with conditions a team have in different conditions like if a club has many injuries, and fall behind a first team very far, it's more realistic to concentrate on Champions League, rather than wasting too much energy for La Liga.

Barcelona have wonderkids like Lamine Yamal but Barcelona's failure to recruit Dani Olmo and Nico Williams means they won't be able to compete with Real Madrid this season. I actually hope to see el classico like before but it looks like I have to wait until next season.

Yamal can be helpful and bring some energy to Barcelona squad but they can not rely on a single youth player to win La Liga and Champions League. Football is a sport of team working and they must focus on build up their whole team. It is a safer and more sustainable method to have a competitive team to fight for titles.

No, Real Madrid is a team that can play in two different competitions and be successful in them. You don’t need to worry yourself too much that they can’t win the two major trophies in the competition they’ll be participating in. The UEFA Champions League is a competition we all know Real Madrid does not joke with and at the same time wining the La Liga will give them another joy of feeling great, being called the best team and the king of champions league. Barcelona still looks like a mediocre team to them even in the next season, so if they really want to defeat Real Madrid, they’ll have to try more because it won’t be an easy task for them next season.

Madrid even look like a team that wouldn't mind sacrificing other league trophies for the champions league because they have place a good Level of priority and importance on it and it's enough reason for them to put in the needed work because they know what it means winning the champions league, the prestige and the prize attached to the champions league is such that cannot be overly emphasized. Barcelona in the meantime still looks weeks but looking at the moves the team has been making inawhile no 2, I believe they may give us a surprise.

No matter how bad Barcelona's financial situation is they are still a club that is still able to compete in La Liga. As we have seen last season, the bad financial condition did not prevent Barcelona from winning the La Liga trophy. So regarding La Liga, both Barcelona and ATM are still tough opponents to stop Madrid. If we talk about the Champions League, I think Madrid does not need to be doubted, even without Benzema this season they managed to become champions and that proves how great Real Madrid's motivation is when they are in the Champions League. Madrid has always been a barrier for other clubs in Europe when it comes to the UCL trophy.

40m euros? Isn't this too expensive for Gallagher? Even for me who can't see his consistency at Chelsea for seasons, that price is too much. Could it also be that Atletico is too hasty because they are required to have a new central midfielder for next season? I think only Diego Simione knows the answer.

Maybe we have a different view of Gallagher and Chelsea actually don't regret selling him at all. In fact, rumors of him leaving have been around since last season and have only just come true now. Surely with the new plan with coach Enzo Maresca, he has been kicked out of the main squad and because of that, this is like a drama that Chelsea is doing on stage as if they regret it even though they don't at all.

I'm a Madrid fan, but I don't feel like they're playing at their best tempo as they do a few pre-season games.

No team can be underestimated, because no one knows what they will be like next season. Barcelona does not look better than Real Madrid at the moment, but in football anything can happen, even a team with a simple squad can win the title. Can we remember when Crystal Palace managed to become champions in the English Premier League, did they have a luxurious squad? I don't think so, and it should also be remembered that the English Premier League has a very fierce level of competition, but they managed to become champions, yes even though there was a bit of luck involved, they managed to prove it. In Real Madrid's 2 pre-season matches, they have never won. But I also hope that doesn't make us say that they are not that good, because they also don't play with their best squad and their best performance. Moreover, we all know that the pre-season match is only a trial event.

[Egii Nna]

Madrid even look like a team that wouldn't mind sacrificing other league trophies for the champions league because they have place a good Level of priority and importance on it and it's enough reason for them to put in the needed work because they know what it means winning the champions league, the prestige and the prize attached to the champions league is such that cannot be overly emphasized. Barcelona in the meantime still looks weeks but looking at the moves the team has been making inawhile no 2, I believe they may give us a surprise.

I know that Real Madrid will do their possible best to see that they are able to win this coming season's champions league again, but I don’t think They will be ready to forfeit other leagues, as I am seeing This season Real Madrid will be so strong that losing a game will be like a choice to them, so fear not. Real Madrid are set and ready to face any challenges that will delay their chance of success, although, as we all know, Real Madrid don’t easily give up. They always have hope and prove those that wish them failure wrong.
 
So for Barcelona, I think they will also try their best, but I just have a slight hope in them to win the upcoming La Liga trophy because of the presence of Real Madrid in the league, and they will also take what belongs to them, which is the trophy, so all I mean is that Real Madrid will always have victory.

You are right, this is the first thing I thought about, why did Chelsea decide to sell him? Gallagher's desire in this case is understandable, since Chelsea is too weak now. And as for Atletico, they worked well in the transfer market this off-season, much better than Barcelona, ​​maybe this will give Semione some advantage, and Atletico will be able to compete with Real and Barcelona more thoroughly this season?
As far as I understand, Gallagher has not yet officially announced his transfer, only the terms of the contract have been agreed, so let's wait for everything to be announced officially, otherwise who knows, anything can happen.

[KTChampions]

Ancelotti confirmed that Mbappe and Bellingham will take part in the UEFA Super Cup, which will take place on August 14. The bookmakers' odds are currently as follows:

1.62 - 4.40 - 5.0

Does this seem generous? I understand that it's the beginning of the season and there's a lot of randomness, but +62% for a game where the title is at stake and Real are the clear favorites looks like an easy bet.
What do you think? Does Atalanta have a chance?

[rahmad2nd]

Girona and Atletico Madrid must still be considered as dangerous rivals next season because they are still very likely to create surprises in La Liga which can sometimes make teams as big as Real Madrid and Barcelona feel troubled in certain matches. So I also think that in La Liga there are many rivals who still have to be watched out for and should not be underestimated because often this underestimation can actually give bad results to teams that are more favored by many people.

Interesting, honestly I'm not sure Girona's performance will shine like last season. besides Artem Dovbyk has left, Girona has a busy schedule next season. so, next season will be quite a challenge for Michel to maintain the performance of his team. however, it is interesting for us to look forward to Girona's performance for the upcoming season. talking about Atletico Madrid, this team is always in the top four in the Spanish League. plus, ATM is a city rival team of Real Madrid who are sometimes troublesome when they meet. although, Atletico has not been a favorite in La Liga in the last few seasons. however, the team coached by Diego Simeone has always been consistent in being one of the elite teams in La Liga. let's just wait for the new season to start, and whether Girona and ATM are able to complicate the progress of the more superior team. one of the most favored teams is Real Madrid, you could say Los Galacticos volume three.

[Marvell1]

I actually do not take the results of preseason friendly games serious because of the fact that players most times do not give their best in other to avoid being injured but if there's anything I agree with your submission about Barcelona's performance in their El Classico game against Real Madrid last night, it's part that you highlighted how they're playing to the tactics and style of the club's new manager Hansi Flick. The players like you rightly said are adapting too fast and that's good development for the club as they continue to prepare for next season.
That being said, I'm still very much convinced that the current Real Madrid team will not lose to Barcelona if that game if last night was a competitive one.

The clubs will do what is also in there own interest, if they should have an injury before the main season starts, that will affect them because they know it will take time before they can bounce back after the injury and their role will be very important when the main season starts. They won't be in the healing process when the games are already serious. And if it was el Classico it would have been tougher than this, but since it was a preseason game it was taken lightly. Their play was not bad playing under Hansi Flick it was impressive play and it shows that they are adapting gradually. And I know their will be more improvement coming from Barcelona in preparation for next season, am in support that Real Madrid will not lose to Barcelona no matter the preparation that is been made and that is just Real Madrid for you, they are always in preparation for what ever obstacles they will face, and now they have mbappe just makes everything more enjoyable.

Well, I have seen previously that even though Barcelona and Real Madrid are playing a preseason friendly match, it is not played as a friendly match. Saw that especially when prime Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were playing against each other in La Liga. Both of the teams played the friendly matches like they had something to prove.

Now is that good or bad? I don’t know. But right now it is pretty certain that Real Madrid is a better team compared to Barcelona. And there is no reason for Real Madrid to go very hard in a friendly match when they are facing some injury problems. I am not saying Barcelona was only able to win because Real Madrid took it easy. Of course, Barcelona played well. But it is also true that Real Madrid did not honestly use the hundred percent of the power and tactics that they could have.

Well am also with millions of football fans actually waiting for that surprise you are talking about, Barcelona has been one of the most prominent names in the football world for as long as I can remember but of lately the team is definitely nothing to write about because they have lost their touch when it comes to convincing game play and also winning of trophies and to say the truth am actually not expecting anything special than what they offered last season because the debt ratio of the club is just too much that they can't even get the right tools and player that might have positive view to their gameplay next season.

There are still 10 days to go, the odds for Real Madrid might fall to 1.40, for 1.40 I think it's quite risky, although I'm convinced Real Madrid should able to beat Atalanta. The big upset that Atalanta did in Europa League might be the reason why Real Madrid isn't a heavy favorite, people might think Atalanta can pull an upset, who knows?

Seeing Mbappe and Bellingham in Real Madrid is like seeing Ronaldo and Ozil.

The 62% odds seem pretty sweet for this match. I think I'll go for it, I won't be upset if Real Madrid loses because I see very little chance of them losing. Ancelotti also announced Mbappe and Bellingham for this match, which gave me more confidence, I can say.

Because these players are capable of turning the match around on their own, so the probability of them losing is low. The 1.62 odds seem good to me, maybe others will find it risky and not like it, but I'll go for it.

I'm a Madrid fan, but I don't feel like they're playing at their best tempo as they do a few pre-season games.

Again and again, why do you still use pre-season matches as your reference for assessing the team abilities for next  season because it is clear that in pre-season matches they did not play as they should. I wonder why, if you are a Real Madrid fan but you doubt the team itself, what's more, Real Madrid is the king of Europe, but you still doubt the quality of Real Madrid and thus, I'm not  sure if you are a Real Madrid fan. Because after all, I don't idolize any team, but if it was about Real Madrid then I personally wouldn't doubt it.

Regarding Barcelona failing to buy Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, I also surprised, because from the available information it also appears that Barcelona finances have become better. And in fact, it was even reported that Dani Olmo and Nico Williams chose Barcelona as their new team in this transfer window. But I wonder why Barcelona is still failing to bring in new players, which makes me wonder whether Barcelona finances have really recovered or not.

The match between the champions of the Champions League and the European League will be Madrid opening match in the official matches this season, this match will of course be a match that will attract a lot of attention for football fans after we continue to be presented with friendly matches at this time, Madrid will definitely deploy the main squad they were in that match and it looks like the Uefa Super Cup match will be Mbappe debut in madrid, some time ago I saw a friendly match between Atlanta and Parma, but in that match, Atlanta had to lose its mainstay player due to a very serious injury, Scamacca who had been his mainstay Atlanta will definitely be absent and obviously that will reduce Atlanta strength in the Uefa Super Cup later, so I think Madrid will have around a 70% chance for winning that the match because the difference in quality between the two teams is very large.

Seeing Mbappe and Bellingham in Real Madrid is like seeing Ronaldo and Ozil.

I'm not sure that we will see the odds of 1.40, since this is the odds for the outcome of the game in regular time, and even if Atalanta have some problems, they are unlikely to be so strong as to significantly reduce the odd of a double chance for Atalanta.
I think either wait for live and place a bet or place a bet on Real with a handicap of -1. More risk - more gain. And maybe bookmakers underpay for bets on the favorite, but give fairer odds for bets with a handicap.

[jaberwock]

You just saw a few preseason games last season to conclude that.
I think that's a big mistake, first there was no luck that made Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champion League last season, basically there was an increase in the quality of their young players who were much more mature and ready so that Real Madrid's performance was better.
And secondly Barcelona does not have a squad that is even and quality in every line like Real Madrid so I think what happened in this preseason cannot be used as any reference.
I even predict that Real Madrid will be able to easily defend the La Liga title without any pressure from any team including Barcelona.

Maybe we have different views on this.
But I look at the squads of both teams and I see Real Madrid players are quite scary for next season, so most likely we will see a much stronger performance from them next season.

That's true, both improved young players who will be better this year, and also there are a lot of players who are already good that is added to the team as well. We should see Real Madrid have an insanely well season and not have any issues getting the title very early on. That's what they are going to probably focus on, if they win the league very very early on, then they won't need to play their best players during the regular season and could play at semifinals of UCL easily with rested players as well.

With how good they are this year, I can see an April run could be very possible, unlikely and very difficult, because in April there still a lot of games, but if they reach 15+ points, that's almost guaranteed and players could rest. Meaning 3 last games of UCL could be a lot easier for them.

[BALIK]

Again and again, why do you still use pre-season matches as your reference for assessing the team abilities for next  season because it is clear that in pre-season matches they did not play as they should. I wonder why, if you are a Real Madrid fan but you doubt the team itself, what's more, Real Madrid is the king of Europe, but you still doubt the quality of Real Madrid and thus, I'm not  sure if you are a Real Madrid fan. Because after all, I don't idolize any team, but if it was about Real Madrid then I personally wouldn't doubt it.

In friendly matches, Barcelona and Real Madrid have given their squad's experienced players a chance. Both the teams have given the opportunity to the young players in their squads in this match. And both were second tier squads. So I am not worried about the friendly match performance. Both teams will be able to perform better in La Liga next season. There is no doubt that Real Madrid team will perform well with the help of Ancelotti. Moreover, Madrid have become stronger after adding Mbappe to the squad. On the other hand, with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona's overall performance is likely to remain stable. Barcelona have a lot of young talented players in their squad.

I thought we would see Nico Williams in a Barcelona jersey next season. But this possibility is less now. But Nico Williams at Barcelona would have benefited both Barcelona and Williams. Because here he had Yamal as a teammate. We saw this pair perform well in the Spain jersey at the last Euro.

It seems like Conor Gallagher is on his way to Atletico Madrid. 



https://www.transfermarkt.com/set-to-sign-for-atletico-madrid-why-chelsea-may-regret-selling-conor-gallagher/view/news/441669

It looks like the sides have agreed upon a 40 million euros fee. This would be a great deal for Atletico Madrid honestly. Because Gallagher is one of the really good talents in midfield. Comparing him to the current CMs in Atletico Madrid squad, I believe he can outperform all of them. I don't mean they are weak of course but I see him as more talented. I wouldn't sell him if I were in Chelsea's place. I like his game. He is a fighter in midfield. 

Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid for €40m? Not bad at all. His consistency is lacking. But his raw talent remains. The kid is a natural playmaker, which Atletico needs today. Gallagher may invigorate their midfield, which has been lacking. He has enthusiasm, vision, and drive to succeed. His young, hungry attitude can shake up a team.

Is it risky? Every transfer involves risk. Yet Atletico isnt just throwing money around. Gallagher suits their agenda well. Chelsea is certainly changing under Maresca. Not every player fits every squad, and thats fine. A change of surroundings can help a player flourish. Could this be win-win? Absolutely. Atletico receives a great young midfielder to rejuvenate their midfield, and Gallagher shines on a new stage.
