Serie A Matchday 3 - Review!

Fiorentina vs Sampdoria

Marc:

This was a game largely dominated by Fiorentina but Sampdoria snuck away with the 3 points. Quagliarella scored a penalty just before half time. Vlahovic got the equaliser for Fiorentina in the 71st minute only to concede a late winner in the 85th minute by Verre with a smooth finish. A disappointing result in what could be Chiesa's last match in a Fiorentina jersey with a move to Juve impending.


Sassuolo vs Crotone

Marc:

Sassuolo strolled past Crotone in an easy win to make it 7 points in 3 games. Dominico Berardi scored the first before Nwankwo equalised with a penalty. Man on fire Caputo scored a brace and Locatelli added the icing on the cake with a fourth. Superb performance and a team to watch out for.


Udinese vs AS Roma

Marc:

Roma won a really close game with Pedro scoring his first goal for his new side. A closely fought game with Dzeko returning to the side. Kevin Lasagna had plenty of chances to score for Udinese but failed to convert. Udinese now sits at the bottom with 3 losses in 3 games and Roma have won 4 points in 3. Both sides have to step up.


Atalanta vs Cagliari

Marc:
This was another expected performance from Atalanta and they go top of the Serie A table with 3 wins in 3 games. Muriel, Papu Gomez, Zapata, Pasalic and Lammers were on the score sheet for Atalanta. Godin scored his first goal in new colours for Cagliari and Joao Pedro added a second in vain. Atalanta is a real Serie A contenders this season. Watch out for them.


Benevento vs Bologna

Marc:

Benevento pulled off an upset against Bologna who has been very disappointing so far this season. A Lapadula goal was the only highlight in a game which was dominated by Bologna for most parts but just didn't have the end product. Benevento is now at 6 points in 3 games whereas Bologna is at 3.


Lazio vs Inter Milan

Marc:

This was a topsy-turvy game ending all square at one apiece. Both sides saw red with Immobile and Sensi getting sent off. Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring with a clever turn and sharp strike. Milinkovic-Savic scored the equalizer for Lazio with a clean strike. Lazio really has to step up as they're dropping out of title contention.


Parma vs Hellas Verona

Marc:

A relatively slow game with Kurtic scoring in the 1st minute of the game. A very competitive match from there on but Parma walked away with the 3 points. Parma sits at 6 points in 3 games and Hellas are at 3 points in 3.

AC Milan vs Spezia

Marc:
Another dominating performance from the Rossoneri to make it 3 wins out of 3. Leao scored an impressive brace with assists from Kessie and man in form Calhanoglu. Theo also scored a goal and is proving to be one of the best-left backs in the world. Spezia had nothing to show and have only 3 points in 3 games. Milan is looking really good this season. And might just be title contenders.

UEFA Champions League Group Stage Draw 2020-21

Sid: Reigning champions Bayern Munich face Atletico Madrid, who come fresh into this season with their latest signing Luis Suarez. Atletico Madrid kicked out previous champions Liverpool out of the tournament last season and they will be hoping to do the same this year as well. Bayern Munich have continued their super impressive run as they go on to win their six trophy this season to complete their sextuple. Other two teams in the group are Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moskva where Moskva would be more likely to finish third and Salzburg end up at the bottom. The gap between Bayern and Atletico and Salzburg and Moskva is quite big enough that there are no chances of a potential upset and the only competition that is there is between the top two and the bottom two teams. Videep: A group that could potentially have more competition for the Europa League spot than the two Round of 16 spots. While Bayern seems indestructible with their attack, they face Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid th...

England Team Selection Revealed!

Image
England coach, Gareth Southgate revealed the England team to compete in friendlies and competitions today and it's safe to say that there are a few surprises. Upon looking first, one might feel happy looking at the squad. Youngsters such as Kalvin Philips, Mason Greenwood and Mason Mount have all been called up. But when you look at the list for a little longer, you'll see the many flaws there are that manager Gareth Southgate has in his squad. For instance, veterans Luke Shaw (LB), Jordan Henderson (CM) and Ross Barkley (CDM) have all been overlooked for first-timer Kalvin Philips, who has not ever played in the top-most tier of any country, and the inconsistent duo of James Ward-Prowse and Harry Winks. Not to forget, key attacking midfielders Jack Grealish and James Maddison, Aston Villa and Leicester City, respectively, were also snubbed despite their performances for their sides in the Premier League this season. They both were almost guaranteed a spot after their respectiv...

RB Leipzig vs Athletico Madrid: A Game Which Proves that the Underdogs Must Never be Underestimated

Image
The only worthwhile pre-game news was the absence of ace striker Timo Werner for his departure from Leipzig to Chelsea. As the news of his absence spread, lesser people began to even look at Leipzig to win this game. Unfortunately for Athletico fans, players like Marcel Sabitzer, Youssef Poulsen and goalscorer Daniel Olmo. Not to mention, goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi also came in with vital saves during the game. After a pretty dull first half, where Leipzig did a bunch with continuous attacks on the Athletico defence, with plenty fouls being drawn in. The goalless first-half lead to an exciting second half, where Leipzig scored in under six minutes, with 51 minutes on the clock. With a great number of passes among the players before the goal, all Olmo had to do was head in a perfectly weighted ball from Sabitzer.  Cue to the moment wonderkid, Joao Felix was subbed in by the manager, Diego Simeone. Cue his link-up play with Olivier Giroud. And cue the penalty given the moment after. It...
