The four highest-paid Bayern Munich stars in the 2024/25 season

Bayern Munich are one of the three biggest clubs in the world alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, and even in a down year in the Bundesliga last season, they still came agonizingly close to returning to the Champions League Final. This season, Bayern Munich look even more dangerous, and it seems like they are bouncing back with a vengeance in the Bundesliga, having just beaten Holstein Kiel 6-1 in a demolition reminiscent of their peak days with "Robbery" and Bastian Schweinsteiger. Bayern kept the momentum going with a 9-2 barrage of Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League opener, pulling away from the Croatian side after the opponents cut a 3-0 lead to 3-2; Bayern then put six past Zagreb. As Bayern Munich continue to rack up the results under Vincent Kompany, they must continue ...

Bremer is having an incredible season for Juventus so far

The Serie A Defender of the Year before even joining Juventus, former Torino center back Gleison Bremer has reached new heights since signing for the biggest club in Turin - and Italy as a whole. Though Juventus have yet to return to the summit of Serie A as champions, they are back in true contention with the hiring of Thiago Motta, putting together another impressive performance in the Champions League with a 3-1 win over PSV. Bremer was as excellent as you'd expect against the Dutch side, recording four tackles and completing over 93 percent of his roughly 60 pass attempts. The experienced Brazilian defender also made an interceptions, six clearances, and was never dribbled past by a PSV player. His big game in Juve's Champions League opener is a reminder of how brilliant he's ...

Roma firing Daniele de Rossi vindicates Jose Mourinho, shows who the real problem is

Roma fans deserve better. Anyone who watches world football, specifically Serie A, understands the undying passion of the Roma faithful and has to feel for the fanbase - well, unless they are Lazio supporters - because it feels like the Giallorossi only experience heartbreak after heartbreak. It truly seemed like they were building something special under The Special One himself, as Jose Mourinho immediately brought a fire and excitement back to a Roma side that suffered years of mediocrity after a brief spell of going toe-to-toe with titans of European football, buoyed by legends of the game Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko. Mourinho got Roma to believe again, winning the Conference League title and coming - here's that word again - heartbreakingly close to winning the Europa League a s...

Thibaut Courtois loved that Endrick didn’t pass to Kylian Mbappe or Vinicius Jr.

Young Real Madrid star striker Endrick came off the bench against Stuttgart in his Champions League debut and produced yet another wondergoal that will live in the history books. Channeling his childhood hero Bobby Charlton, Endrick unleashed an absolute rocket from way outside the box to beat the Stuttgart keeper for full pace, having carried the ball out of his own half. Most young players would not have shot in that situation, because Endrick was actually leading a three-on-two counterattack. And who were the other two in the three? Literally the two best forwards in the world, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. But Endrick, as he said in the press conference after the Real Madrid win, believed the best option was to shoot from range instead of passing. And when you have his striki...

Kylian Mbappe flubbed Jude Bellingham’s assist of the season contender

Real Madrid superstar midfielder Jude Bellingham made his return to the team on Tuesday night in the Champions League after suffering an injury, and he didn't miss a beat for the Merengues. He helped Real Madrid beat one of his former Bundesliga foes Stuttgart 3-1, as Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, and unforgettably Endrick all found the back of the net in this one. Mbappe, however, could have had two goals, because he flubbed a ridiculous, defense-splitting through ball from Bellingham in midfield, as the England international found the tiniest of cracks in the Stuttgart defense to spring his world-class striker through. Unfortunately, as you can see here, Mbappe could only produce a tame touch of the caliber that would even make Romelu Lukaku go, "Woof, you should have done bet...

Amad Diallo leads Manchester United in three important stats

The solution on the right wing for Manchester United in the Premier League hasn't been 100 million euro flop Antony bouncing back or even Jadon Sancho, who joined Chelsea on a loan deal that will almost certainly become permanent at the end of the 2024/25 season. No, young forward Amad Diallo has burst out as the key man in the Manchester United attack, and the stats show that he is the main attacking threat right now, above Marcus Rashford or even new signing Joshua Zirkzee. Diallo, just 22, looks like a future star at Old Trafford. No player on Manchester United has created more chances than Diallo's highly impressive 10, even though he's only made three starts. Furthermore, Diallo is first in progressive carries with 23, which is almost double that of Man United's best current ...

Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes surpasses Barcelona legend Ronaldinho in Champions League assists

Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo Goes has become something of a forgotten man to the average mainstream fan, if they even gave the forward his proper due in the first place. The 2021/22 Champions League hero was left off the "BMV" nickname by the Spanish press, who made him a footnote to Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior. Meanwhile, the 23-year-old was snubbed from the 30-man list of 2023/24 Ballon d'Or finalists, leading even Barcelona legend Rivaldo to call out the disgrace of this snub, which left many current and former stars baffled. Well, Rodrygo is letting his play on the pitch do the talking, as he's started the 2024/25 LaLiga season off as a man on a mission, and the same holds true for his start to the Champions League campaign. He recorded the opening ...

Injury News: Is Bukayo Saka playing against Atalanta and Manchester City?

Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka is having another strong start to a season as he looks to wrap up Premier League Player of the Season honors in 2024/25 and lead the Gunners to an elusive title triumph over Manchester City. This weekend, Arsenal will get a huge opportunity at a six-point swing in the early season over their main title rivals, as they will face the Citizens at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon. Saka limped off the pitch this past weekend in his club's vital 1-0 win over North London derby rivals Tottenham, leaving Arsenal fans concerned about the status of their best player ahead of the Man City game after a possible injury in the 86th minute. However, per the Evening Standard, Saka did not suffer an injury and was simply dealing with cramps. Therefore, he is expected to...

Injury News: When Real Madrid hope to have Eduardo Camavinga back

With Toni Kroos retired, Real Madrid are trying to get multiple young stars in the midfield to help replace the irreplaceable German icon. Fede Valverde has stepped up the most, playing better than anyone on Real Madrid at this early point in the 2024/25 LaLiga season. Aurelien Tchouameni, prior to an injury, bounced back to that same great level he is capable of with an exquisite No. 6 performance in midfield in a 2-0 win over Real Betis. Now, Real Madrid are hoping Eduardo Camavinga can lift his game, as the former 16-year-old phenom is as gifted as any midfielder on this planet, which is why Real Madrid pushed to sign him as hard as anyone not named Kylian Mbappe back in 2021. Camavinga hasn't been able to make a profound impact on the 2024/25 season because of an injury, as he...

Injury News: Frenkie de Jong set to return to Barcelona lineup soon

Barcelona star center midfielder Frenkie de Jong was one of the best midfielders in the world during the 2022/23 season when Barca won LaLiga, but he was far from his best last season. This was in part due to Sergio Busquets' departure to MLS, but it was also in part due to de Jong's injury woes. He suffered nagging ankle injuries throughout the season, and, now, he has yet to play in the 2024/25 campaign under Hansi Flick due to a serious ankle injury he picked up last season. The good news is that de Jong is set to make his return to the Barcelona lineup soon. Diario AS reports that Barcelona believe he can return to action next week against Getafe in LaLiga on Sept. 25. That leaves Frenkie de Jong out of the Champions League opener against Monaco and a tough weekend encounter i...
