Today is the start of an adventurous season for European Football club. So many games have been played and you can be sure we are ready for a great awakening. Usually I spend time looking for La Liga and EPL for great meetings. Got to include Ligue 1 with Messi arrival. It will be a pot-pouri watching Football this season.
Unfortunately Messi was not available today with many of the new recruit, Neymar was not playing as well. At the end Mbappe and company took care of business 4-2. The spectacle was wonderful seeing the fans all over the place partying with PSG. The true PSG will come to light when UEFA starts. This is when we will know if this combination makes sense going forward.
Apart the French connection, Chelsea did manage to dominate Crystal Palace for a good three points.
I watched most of the game and you feel the same Chelsea is playing with lack of scoring is shown early. Crystal Palace did not bring the heat at all except in the second half couple holes did show in the Chelsea defense.
Pulisic did score with Alonzo. Chalobah's goal was the best to see from a distance. Great to see a defensive player is abled to score from that far. It shows the poise and you can see how everyone welcome his effort. Where are you Lukaku? Let's hope it brings more openness in Chelsea front line to score more goals.
By the way Manchester United started this season with high hope. Progba did not score but you know found a way to be there and give service when needed. Fernandes will have a great season. The Portuguese is meticulous in effort to score goals. As always United is the team I have no issue whatsoever to advance and even winning the EPL.
While looking at the leaders, I like to look at the bottom of the pile to see what teams may stay down a bit longer. Leeds United should rebound from the bottom. Norwich City had a rough start , just one match to say the least. Arsenal I know was slim against Brentford, but I could not understand them losing to a team that just been promoted to EPL. Hey this is the beauty of Football.
Tomorrow Tottenham vs Manchester City should be a darling for the first matchday. So far EPl starts in high note where each team wins their respective match. No surprises to say. Within five matchdays, we will have a clear look where each team should be at. The clean sheet belongs to all clubs except for Leeds -5 after day one.
How is your team doing so far ?
