PSG'nin bu kadar çaresiz olduğu bir maçı hatırlayamıyorum. İlk yarıdan Chelsea'nin 3-0 gibi bir skoru yakalaması bütün izleyenleri şoke etmiştir. Dediklerimin hepsinin tersi oluyor şu an. Kaleci Sanchez de bugün hatasız oynuyor. Fakat maçın adamı şimdiden belli zaten. Palmer inanılmaz bir maç geçiriyor. 3 gole de doğrudan ve dolaylı katkısı var. Böyle bir Palmer izlemeyi çok özlemişim. Takımı yöneten bir oyuncu olduğu için takım ona çok bağlıydı. Özel maçlarda böyle bir yıldızınızın olması çok fark yaratıyor.

The rule related to Crystal Palace's being demoted to the Conference League is this:

- If there are 2 or more teams with the same owner they cannot play in the same tournament. It is called "multi-club ownership rules".

John Textor is the owner of Lyon and a shareholder at Crystal Palace at the same time. This is why such decision has been made. It is sad for Crystal Palace side surely. Winning an FA Cup trophy was a really tough job for them and they can't enjoy the prize of it now. 

He chose money then. We are talking about nearly 7 times his current salary. It is a really big amount of money. Not every player is doing the same thing with him on the other hand. We can give an example from the same league, Osimhen.

He makes around €13m a year and he got an offer by Al-Hilal which was like 4 times his salary. But he refused it anyway. Because he wants to stay in Europe and play in the Champions League instead.

The other way around is happening currently. Palmer is literally destroying PSG single-handedly. 2 goals and an assist in the first half already and 3-0 at halftime.

The current score is a huge surprise for everyone undoubtedly. But on the other hand PSG are really having bigger problems against English teams in such tournaments.


Jackson will continue to miss his place in the starting eleven. Because João Pedro has made a wonderful start. He scored one in this match too. He is much more promising than the hopeless case Jackson.

Chelsea biraz ilginç bir takım. Hiç beklenmedik maçlarda güzel sonuçlar alabiliyordu. Fakat bunun sebebi defans oyununu çok iyi oynuyor olmalarıydı. Şu an defans anlamında çok güven verdiklerini söyleyemem. Finale çıktılar çıkmasına ama onların taraf kağıt üstünde baya basitti. Turnuva boyunca oynadıkları tek Avrupa takımı Benfica oldu. Şimdi ise karşılarında çok sağlam bir PSG var. İşleri çok zor şans da lazım olacak. Açıkçası Sanchez kalede hiç güven vermiyor. PSG ilk yarıdan işi bitirebilir de aynı Real Madrid'e yaptığı gibi.

Nice photo it is. Palmer is really like a leader in the team despite his young age. He is a big talent but had an inconsistent season the last time. Chelsea will need his score contribution a lot in the final match. Because you know how PSG pressurize their opponent. Luis Enrique has built such a solid system that they don't even let their opponent pass freely. This is where Chelsea need their special players like Palmer more. If they somehow manage to resist until the 2nd half then maybe they might perform the unexpected.

As long as PSG find an early goal I don't think they would let it slip through their fingers anymore.

Yes, as far as I know Beşiktaş signed him on loan with a €5m fee plus €25m obligatory buy option. I still believe this is too much for him. Yes he is skilled but we are talking about a €30m fee in total.

I'm still hoping for Galatasaray not to sign Osimhen. If they manage to convince Napoli then they will absolutely be a big favourite for the title again. Osimhen really won the Super League title for them last season.

While we are in a break like nearly a month there are some recent speculations. Such as Verstappen to join Mercedes as of 2026 season. Toto Wolff and Verstappen are said to be in Sardinia these days to discuss the terms.

You already know Horner has just left Red Bull. I don't think they have a good future to be honest. It would be the best for Verstappen to join Mercedes. In that case I guess Russell would go to Red Bull.

Real Madrid'in şu an hücum hattında ciddi bir bencillik sorunu var. Mbappe, Vinicius Junior ve Bellingham'ın üçü de birbirinden bencil. Xabi Alonso'nun aşması gereken sorun bu işte şu an. Takım oyunu olarak çok eksikler. PSG maçında bunu çok rahat gördük tekrardan. Evet yönetim Xabi Alonso'ya tam anlamıyla güven duyuyor. Leverkusen'i adam edip rekorlarla şampiyon yaparak kariyerine başlayan bir teknik direktör söz konusu. Bence Real Madrid'de de eninde sonunda işleri rayına oturtur.

TAA was also not great at defending to be honest. This is why I think Frimpong's arrival won't change things much there in terms of defense. Arne Slot must be prioritizing attacking much more considering his choices.

There is Wirtz as well. He is like a wonderkid actually but Liverpool still spent €125m for him which is an insane sum. He will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders. In case Nunez leaves they would make use of a new forward too.

To be honest Shakhtar had the most impressive kind of win yesterday. They started over with their new coach Arda Turan and it was his first official match with them. 6-0 is a really solid win.

I think they are likely to enter a better era now. He was a really skilled player before and he started his coach career quite nicely as well. Shakhtar players were praising his passion for football during training.

Shakhtar and Sheriff both had low odds so it was more sensible to take risks on handicap.

The PSG-Real Madrid match was a total disappointment. I hoped for Real Madrid to revive in the second half but not much thing changed. Xabi Alonso is new there of course and hopefully they will get better in time.

Now for the finale I don't think Chelsea have much chance against this kind of a PSG. Chelsea also has a young squad but in terms of quality PSG are ahead of them anyway. I doubt Enzo Maresca's players can hold them off in their golden era.

Bence de kötü bir para harcama yolu hocam. 30 milyon euro ile 2 tane sağlam iş yapacak oyuncu da alabilirsin hatta bazen daha fazla bile olabiliyor. Bir de Beşiktaş Orkun'u alacak sonra eğer işler beklenildiği gibi gitmezse iyi bir paraya da satamayacak. Malum Süper Lig'de oyuncuların değeri çok düşüyor. Avrupa kulüpleri sudan ucuza oyuncu çekebiliyor bizim takımlardan. Rekor satış yapılan oyuncuların fiyatı bile Avrupa kulüpleri için çerez parası.

Osimhen için Galatasaray Napoli'ye 75 milyon euro serbest kalma bedelini 4 yıla eşit miktarda yayarak ödeyecekmiş. Napoli'yle de anlaşmanın sağlandığı söyleniyor yani.

I guess that you haven't noticed the time I made that post. It was in last September mate. And you know it was the first year of the new league phase format in the Champions League. I meant that in my post as a result.

Now we are entering its second year. This time I wonder whether a team in one of the high places in league phase will manage to win the title. Things can change a lot after this phase.

Just as the PSG example. They looked problematic first but surprised all of us with a huge improvement in their game.

The odds for the Premier League winner are already here:

Liverpool - 2.88
Arsenal - 3.25
Manchester City - 3.50

It is totally normal to favour Liverpool the most. They made it for the trophy even without much of a signing last season. Now they are even getting stronger with many transfers.

I don't know whether it is fair to favour Arsenal more than Manchester City yet but they must be referring to last season results only. Arsenal still need a centre-forward transfer in my opinion.

This match is indeed unbelievable. It is hard to explain why Real Madrid are playing like a farmers league team here. It looks like I made a huge mistake by trusting their win in 90 minutes.

2 goals were due to simple defensive mistakes by Rüdiger and Asencio. Rüdiger is like the last player to make such mistake on the pitch normally. As it is 3-0 now I have lost my belief in them to make a comeback even though there are 45 more minutes to be played.

Yağız Sabuncuoğlu'nun haberine göre Orkun Kökçü Beşiktaş ile anlaşmaya çok yakın. Benfica'ya da gelen teklifi kabul etmeleri için baskı yapıyormuş. Diğer takımlardan gelen teklifleri de reddetmiş.

30 milyon euro gibi bir piyasa değeri var ve Benfica da bu seviyenin altına onu satmak istemiyor. Başkan Serdal Adalı'nın bizzat transferi bitirmek için uğraştığı söyleniyor. 24 yaşında ve yetenekli de o yüzden Beşiktaş adına güzel transfer olur. Fakat bonservisi biraz yüksek bence.

Gyökeres is certain about not playing for Sporting anymore. He is angry with the team for asking too much money. Sporting chairman should set his demands accordingly otherwise he will have to leave him out of squad.

As far as I know Arsenal offered an amount around €55-60m the last time. I guess they would have an agreement soon. They really need a scorer like him.

When it comes to Luis Suárez he performed impressively only in 2nd leagues. Not good in the La Liga. But we will see what will happen in the Liga Portugal.

It his Joao Pedro's 2nd match with Chelsea and first match as a starter as well. He already scored indeed. This is a great way to say hello to the fans I guess. I still think Fluminense will answer with a goal too but Chelsea will get the win in 90 minutes anyway.

About the PSG-Real Madrid match, I'm trying my luck with Real Madrid win in regular time. But it won't be easy surely. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are other good bet options here. I don't expect to watch a boring goalless match.

I agree about Jalen Green's playoffs performance. He was simply terrible. Only in 1 game he looked impressive and that was all. Maybe he isn't the man for the highest stage or it is just because of his still being young.

In this trade between Suns and Rockets I just believe that Rockets is in profit. Getting Kevin Durant is worth it. Maybe he is 36 years old but still can play as a superstar. Logical trade to play bigger for an NBA championship in my opinion.
