Even though at this time it might not be possible to compare Joselu and Benzema, but I agree with what you said because regardless of anything, giving Joselu an opportunity in the current conditions is of course the most possible thing, especially considering the current conditions of Madrid, which have not yet added players to their squad. his attack line is certain he will also be given more minutes.
But we also can't blame people who judge Joselu because sometimes we also see from the conditions that indirectly Benzema is replaced by Joselu and this is a condition that can be said to be a fact for now so it's not wrong either the observers or maybe the fans feel Doubtful of Joselu so for now Joselu must try his best to prove his capacity so that he is indeed worthy of being a player from Madrid.

It is very natural because we know what kind of team Joselu is visiting but with the condition that he has managed to score quite a number of goals for Espanyol this could be a good capital for him to be in Madrid.
Now is the second chance for Joselu in Madrid after failing before and of course Joselu must muster his strength to improve on the performance of several years ago which could not do much in Madrid.

If the Mbappe transfer does happen, it won't cost much more than what they did when they bought Neymar from Barcelona. Mbappe is a quality striker who has been a star so far, so €200 million is well worth the quality. So I don't think PSG need to lower their price if Real Madrid really want it.


There are rumors about Real Madrid's plans to get Mbappe for free, but I don't think it's the most plausible plan for Mbappe. PSG might sell him to another team who are willing to pay no less than €180M for Mbappe, so if Real Madrid want to take him to the Bernabeu then surely they will have to pay big bucks before it's too late. Personal agreement is fine, but are you sure PSG will allow it?

Even if you could be right, Joselu's quality can be judged because he has changed teams quite a lot during his career. Last season Joselu had 34 appearances for Espanyol in La Liga, he scored 16 goals and 2 assists last season. He's not so bad, of course, but because Joselu is 33 years old, maybe his form is unstable.

I just hope Joselu can help Real Madrid's attack line next season regardless of whether Ancelotti will give him many chances or just use him as an alternative. I'm sure Joselu is no better than Benzema, but I hope he's of some use.

Isn't it more like a head or tails flip? In general, when clubs change their coaches it sometimes works out because it feels like the team is receiving new input and is playing more energized and sometimes the team looks to be overwhelmed by the new requirements of the coach or even changes within the team formation and positions. Tuchel is a good coach but I think he is no different from Nagelsmann. Their characters and also their approach to coaching is similar and that is why the decision to get rid of Nagelsmann was surprising. They didn't start something that is completely from scratch but instead decided to hand over control to somebody who is about to do the same as Nagelsmann. That was a weird decision in a strange moment.

Joselu is not experienced enough for Champions League. But he is quite talented. He has the ability to score a lot of goals. And so if Joselu adapts well to the Real Madrid squad. If Joselu's understanding with the team players is good then it is expected that Joselu will be able to score a lot of goals in the coming season. Last season he was able to score a lot of goals even against weak teams like Espanyol.

The team's performance was erratic due to the sudden change of coach. Team players need time to adapt to the coach's new match strategy. It was a bad decision by the management to change the coach in the middle of the season. And because of this, they were eliminated from the Champions League and the team lost many matches in the Bundesliga as well.
If the players of the team can adapt well to Tuchel's game tactics next season, if the players are confident, then Bayern Munich will be able to play well in the Champions League. But we don't know yet if Tuchel will be successful. We should wait more.

We don't know for sure if Real Madrid will continue to look for other players after the player they are after is having trouble signing him. But all the surprises will still really happen considering that there is still time for Real Madrid to bring in new players to fill the void left by Benzema. But now it's safe to say that maybe Real Madrid lacked a lot up front, especially after many told them that Benzema was the key to Real Madrid's attack in the last few seasons, and also many said that before Benzema left they should have had a replacement, and now Benzema is leaving and the player who will replace him cannot be brought in by Real Madrid.

It's very natural to say Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga for Bayern Munich, how could it not be, they have been champions for more than a decade in the Bundesliga without any significant obstacles from other clubs. Borussia Dortmund, which was expected to be a real challenger, failed to do the things that made Bayern Munich difficult. Even last season, when they had a huge opportunity to break the dominance created by Bayern Munich, they just missed the opportunity.

Many people doubt that Joselu can be the answer to what Real Madrid are looking for after losing their striker, and it is true that Joselu has to prove that he can play very well on the Real Madrid front lines. Actually I am also one of those who doubt him and still think Real Madrid should bring in another player to be placed in attack.

Even though Manchester City lost Gundogan, I think this can be easily anticipated, especially now that they have also got Kovavic, who can be used as a substitute to fill the void. Not to mention that they are also now trying to approach Rice which Manchester City could have got.
As for Madrid, they did lose Benzema, but in other conditions, at the moment, even though Brahim and Joselu are currently lacking big expectations, at this time the transfer has not been closed, especially since there is still drama going on about Mbappe, now they just need to find a suitable striker. hungry for goals for Madrid, even though Perez said he would not look for any more players but I would not really believe in this.

For Barcelona, last season they were also predicted to be able to talk a lot but in the end for the second time in a row they were in the Europa League because they failed in the group phase. now the hope is still there but it depends on their performance in the end whether they can qualify for the group phase or not.

When you give a team this many wins in a row, it becomes harder to beat them but also time always beats everyone which means that we are going to end up seeing Bayern eventually losing to someone one way or another. I know that it feels like a very tough job and not every team could do that but there will be at least one team who will be able to do that eventually.

Bayern almost lost it this season and that shows proof that there is a potential for that to happen again. That doesn't mean it has to be this season, it could be this season again and it could maybe end up being a bit different but it could also end up being a bit different as well. This is why we shouldn't really end up having any sort of guarantee what's going to happen.

It seems you lack knowledge about Joselu, he was the third top scorer in the domestic league last season and therefore Florentino Perez is very smart to be able to borrow him from Espanyol for the next season, so if the reason is only because he didn't manage to get Mbappe that is a mistake. Here Real Madrid know very well what the team needs and at a very low cost to borrow Joselu around 500k euros it allows them to save more on spending on players in the summer.

Surely Joselu is expected to perform well in the champions league because this is the main title target for Real Madrid every season and this will be a place to prove for Joselu that he is capable of contributing goals in the champions league and is not just great in the domestic league.

It's a part of first qualifying round. You can read more here

There will be another match to come. These match gonna be deciding which club that will go to the first round of qualification. It's pretty much the same as play off.
It will be through an endless process. There will be another match to come soon.

This season, Real Madrid made many rotation exactly when Karim Benzema has absent due injured on many important matches from La Liga until Champion League. Its important with reserves players performance should consistent exactly for Joselu on next season has answer public doubt about his Ancelotti decision was right sign him. Real Madrid consistent participant in Champion League, Copa del Rey and keep compete in Champion League until semifinal stage, looks good opportunity for Joselu get more minutes playing when Ancelotti make some rotation and he should answer with good performance by scoring goals.

Actually, Joselu less experience play in Champion League and since Real Madrid not sign new center forward looks he has chance get regular position but depend on his performance consistent scoring goals or not exactly on Champion League matches.

Yes, that's right. Bavaria dominates.


No, it was just the failure of Bayern - they scored less points than usual (almost in 10 years we have a champion with such a small number of points if I remember correctly) and all the drama happened because of this. If other clubs had seriously improved, they would have shown something in the international arena, but I did not notice anything.

Yes, it is a qualifying match from a different league, of course it is a matter of pride and a good achievement for those who can qualify to play in the Champions League next season. But for some reason, their presence also doesn't seem like it will make them have a good chance to be able to provide great resistance when playing against top teams. But yes, with teams like this, there will be a big chance for the top teams to get lots of points later.

Thank you, I understand that these two games are played to get one club into Champions League qualification. I didn't know there were such games. I thought that clubs from different leagues get places for position in the standings. I also think that Montenegro will play against Iceland in the final match. I don't think the club from San Marino have any chance against the hosts in the second leg today.

Opportunities always come to players as long as they can show good performances on the field, Joselu will get an opportunity when Ancelotti rotates in several matches. Real Madrid always has a busy schedule every season, they have never been absent in several different competitions. The Champions League, La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the Spanish super cup which Real Madrid participated in required Ancelotti to rotate players in several matches to maintain player fitness.

Joselu could have secured a place as a core player if he was able to answer the opportunity given by the coach with a perfect performance. Being in the Real Madrid squad gave him the opportunity to play in the Champions League, even though he started the match as a reserve player, at least he could feel how hot the atmosphere of the Champions League was.

Real Madrid's main striker and he will never be a star player. Karim Benzema is a star player and he was the main striker of Real Madrid. And the club may never forget what he did for the club. Karim Benzema left the club now people can criticize a lot if Karim Benzema's replacement is not signed for someone better than Karim Benzema. Because someone better than the one who leaves the club must take his place so that he proves on the field that he is no less than the one who left. A worthy replacement for Karim Benzema I would only consider Mbappe so far. If Mbappe plays instead of Karim Benzema, I hope Mbappe will surpass Karim Benzema.

Giving opportunities and time to new players like Joselu is a very natural thing and it is also very necessary before everyone judges him when he is already at Real Madrid. Because after all Joselu's past appearances on other teams, of course it will not always be the same when he is at Real Madrid with a very different coach so that a different appearance could happen to him next season. And his assessment will be even more accurate when Joselu has been in Real Madrid for one season.

there are two matches today in CL, and both are playing on Iceland
they play some kind of tournament, there is one team from Iceland as well, and winners from today's matches will play final for placement into Champions league next phase draw

Buducnost is favorite in this match, and they started well, leading 2:0 at the moment, seems that they will end-up playing final, probably against Iceland team Breidablik

There is now some sort of Champions League match going on between the team from Andorra and Montenegro. The match is taking place in Iceland. I don't know what it is and why they are playing so far away from home. Does anyone understand what this game is and what these clubs have to do with the Champions League?
