I'm probably also inclined to think that such a penalty should not have been given at the end of the match, it was a referee mistake, and the handball was unintentional, but the decision has already been made. Nobody said that Fenerbahce would be easy, and they had enough moments when they should have scored, so as not to give the referee the opportunity to decide the fate of this match.

I liked the game Rangers - Dynamo, a very dynamic game, the ball almost did not stay in the middle of the field, and the teams very quickly went on the attack. The first half was difficult for Dynamo, but after the red card for Rangers, Dynamo became more active, and scored two goals towards the end of the match. Now Dynamo will have to play Salzburg, and this opponent is definitely not easier than Rangers were.

If you look at the statistics, Fenerbahce deserved to qualify, they did not waste the opportunities they had, it's just that luck has not been on this team's side, and I salute Lille's goalkeeper, in last night's match he made many brilliant saves, as well as Lille's defense line which was very disciplined in maintaining the depth of its squad.

yes, many disagree with the referee who gave the penalty, it was an unintentional handball in the sense that the defender did not really intentionally block the ball.
but we can't blame the referee, all decisions have different points of view and considerations,
and congratulations to Lille who qualified for the next round

I don't care about rumor and 11 chosen players can be fixex shortly before the match and it is like one hour or a little bit longer than that. I don't know the exact deadline to submit 11 chosen players for a match and Atalanta will have their own plans to cope with Real Madrid no matter what rumor is so far.

Real Madrid have many star players and they are stronger than Atalanta on the paper but Atalanta will enjoy this Super Cub match as it's hard for an average club like them to have chance to play Super Cup match. Win or fail will be known at the end of match, after the final whistle but when the match starts, Atalanta players will begin it with confidence about themselves after beating Leverkusen and lifting UEFA Europa League title months ago.

I can't wait to see their match and it will definitely be an exciting match because of course in this match we will see fierce competition because they are fighting for the championship title, most recently Real Madrid won the Champions League title and now Real Madrid definitely wants to add to their collection of championship titles.

I'm sure many of us want to see Mbappe's appearance because he is a new player at Real Madrid and of course there are many who want to see his performance with Real Madrid and of course we will see whether Lookman will be a hero like when he competed in the European Cup final or not, but what is clear is that Lookman will definitely fight his best to win that match.

If Ancelotti uses the 4-3-3 strategy used against Atalanta I think it is very suitable because of course Real Madrid's defense must be stronger because when the enemy attacks it will make it easier for Real Madrid's defenders if there are many defenders and of course if Real Madrid's front player, of course, don't ask again because he is definitely strong. So I agree that Ancelotti uses that strategy.

However, if Gasperini uses a 3-4-2-1 formation, of course that will also be very good because by using that strategy I am sure it will make Atalanta's attacks stronger and Gasperini will definitely do his best to make Atalanta win.

Yes, Real Madrid will definitely be the team that is favored to win because Real Madrid has many star players who of course have great potential to make Real Madrid win. Yes, we'll see their match later and it will definitely be a shame if we don't see it.

Rangers vs Dynamo Kyiv today match in UEFA Champions League Match of two teams Dynamo Kyiv team performed well after halftime for which Dynamo Kyiv team scored 2 goals to win today's match. The first half of the game saw a lot of hard fighting between the two teams but Rangers team after halftime.  Couldn't play well.

Since the final match of the UEFA Super Cup, there is extreme frenzy in the Real Madrid camp. Because they have one of the best attacking divisions in the world right now. The addition of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has further boosted their strength. Maybe Mbappe is going to participate in the first match for Real Madrid through the final match of the UEFA Super Cup. Maybe he will have a little more mental pressure in this match because the first match for the new club is still the final match.

We have seen in a news that Real Madrid club has already announced the squad for the UEFA Super Cup final match. Vinicius Junior, Mbappe, Rodrigo, Andric will play as forwards in that squad. Bellingham, Modric as midfielders. Real Madrid coach Ancelotti may go to the final match against Atalanta with a full strength team with the aim of winning the title.

in my opinion, given that he underestimates Atalanta's potential and he has demonstrated this to you more than once, regarding Real Madrid, let's say that for them it is as if they had already won it, they feel confident, in case Atalanta succeeds we will come talking about it here

Fenerbahçe really deserved to qualify for playoff round by that performance honestly. I couldn't count how many goal opportunities they wasted. Especially those shots coming back from the goal post was sad to see. 

I don't think the penalty decision was wrong. Yeah, the defender was trying to stick his hand to his body but he couldn't do it in time. When the ball hit his hand, his arm wasn't still next to his body. But I wish Lille weren't able to get such an easy opportunity after getting a red card. We clearly see Lille aren't very ready for the new season either. But their next opponent is going to be easier than Fenerbahçe as far as I can remember. So I assume they would reach league phase.

Bringing in Mbappe will definitely make the coach to have sleepless nights thinking of the best possible way to manage all the players and bring out the best in them as he did last season. We all know that Vinicius and Mbappe both play from same wing and they are both important players to the team so figuring out how to use them can be challenging, Mbappe can also play as striker but most time loves to operate from the wing, Vinicius on the other hand can only manage on the Left wing. It might be a tough one for Ancellotti but i believe he will figure it out and we will see a more aggressive squad this time around.
The success of the team as been a collective effort of all the players so Mbappe’s arrival won’t change anything at all, all players will be as important and will contribute greatly to the team success once again.

Okay, maybe I was too rigorous and limiting on Atlanta team and didn't give them that recognition on how they fought through to get to this point. Interestingly they are a team known for its strong defense at the back but measuring up with their opponent there's no area they are at parallel with real madrid except luck runs in their favour on this game.

Real Madrid team has inducted a new star striker into their squad in the person of Mbappe, and am sure that the striker will want to begin from this very game to prove his worth by giving them this trophy, and even the entire Madrid squad will want same thing for Mbappe knowing fully that this is going to be his first European trophy and would mean so much to him. It's on this basis I took in the strong conviction that real Madrid are definitely going home with the trophy and nothing less.

I thought Fenerbahce would qualify for the next round. But Fenerbahçe's players learned from the mistakes of the first match. Also, I expected more organized gameplay from Fenerbahce players. But Mourinho has not been able to stabilize the team yet. Even though Fenerbahce's squad is quite strong, we are not seeing the expected performance from them.

However, Lille's players played very well in both matches. The team won the first match as well. In the second match as well, Lille's players are trying to dominate the match. A lot of powerful attacks were also made by Lille's players.

In any case, Fenerbahce was very close to qualifying for the final, they had a lot of desire, mistakes in the first match, when they couldn't hold on to a draw, were fatal for them. They played better in the home match, but Lille paid a lot of attention to defense and it was very difficult to score against such a dense defense, Dzeko, by the way, played another match very uncertainly.

And of course, the penalty was very controversial, the defender removed his hand, and after it there was another defender and a goalkeeper, probably the referee didn't watch the Euro. 

Well Mourinho did all he could but Lille even with the red card kept pushing until they got the penalty that lead to the equalizer which shows their dominance indeed in that game. Lille are off to the next round and I believe fernabache and Mourinho are left to tackle their league performance as you have stated. Well in respect of the other games especially the Galatasaray game against young boys, I think that will be an easy win for the Turkish side because the Switzerland team has been way out of form and in no place ready to take on Galatasaray.

Paying attention in what? here's the lineup from both teams.

As you can see Real Madrid will use all of their best players, look at the front line, every teams will scared if they see these guys. While Atalanta, their striker i.e. Retegui is a new player for Atalanta lol, his first match is against the best team, I'm sure he will lost his confidence.

I won't blame Jose Mourinho for Fenerbahce elimination. Mourinho needs to spend like a full season with Fenerbahce before his team can full implement his pattern of play. It is one thing for a coach to tell his players what to do and another thing is for the players to fully implement what the coach told them.  Mourinho, just moved to the club so they shouldn't expect him to perform magic in a weak squad he inherited. Even if he has brought in players they will still need time to blend to his playing philosophy. One thing I know is that
Fenerbahce will be do well domestically to stand a better chance of playing in Europe next season. I know Mourinho can do this because he has done it several times.

UEFA super cup match will begin today between Real Madrid vs Atalanta and here is below possible lineup for both teams

Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Lookman; Retegui

The odds for both teams

Real Madrid @1.49
Atalanta @6.00

Obviously Real Madrid is the favourite but i expect Atalanta can't be easily beaten and they can put Real Madrid in trouble however there is no extra time in this match and if both teams playing draw until match ended then the match will be continue through an penalty shootout

Real Madrid, as a club that won titles in the Champions League and in other leagues, of course in the coming season, Real Madrid will certainly not be satisfied with the results of this season, of course they will definitely want to continue to win back the Laliga and UCL titles in the coming season.

but of course later we will again see Real Madrid's struggle in their efforts to win the UEFA Super Cup title against Atalanta and to predict this match of course I predict that Real Madrid will have great potential to win against Atalanta and according to reports Mbappe will also be played by Ancelotti and for sure that way Real Madrid's strength will be strong because Mbappe is a great player.

but of course I also don't underestimate Atalanta because of course Atalanta will definitely appear confident in this match and I remember Atalanta's strength which of course cannot be taken lightly and I also remember that when against Leverkusen Atalanta's strength was very good and in the end Atalanta won the Europa League. But I'm sure that in the next match Ancelotti will definitely be alert because of course in the world of football sometimes there are always surprises. According to your predictions, who will win?

No one expected Qarabag to score 7 goals away, but them beating Ludogorets away is not a surprise. They were better in the first game and were unlucky to lose and on top of that, just a reminder that earlier this year in round of 16 of Europa League Leverkusen (who later won it) barely beat them 5-4 meaning they are pretty serious team.

I was hoping for Ludogorets to win because winner of that match plays against my club (Dinamo Zagreb) in the playoff phase of CL and I think they would have an easier job with Bulgarians.

Jose Mourinho failed to make Fenerbahce appear in the Champions League after losing on aggregate to Lille, his dream of wanting to make the team he had just coached appear in the Champions League has now been dashed and he must be ready to lead his team to appear in the Europa League. Fenerbahce players have been fighting to qualify for the Champions League, but now they have to accept the bitter reality after losing to Lille.

Jose Mourinho who is very experienced in various leagues was unable to secure one important ticket to the UCL, he must be more careful when facing his opponent because the quality of the squad he currently has has not reached the best level. Ligue 1 should be proud because it has managed to send four of its representatives to the Champions League, but I am still pessimistic that the four teams will be able to go further, especially since PSG has just lost one of its best players.

No, Lille played very hard and they also created many chances compared to their opponents Fenerbahçe of course this happened because they worked very hard to beat the Turkish representative, so there was no luck in this match because in fact Lille was better, Mourinho's team played a little difficult because Lille had a good defense so Tadic and his friends couldn't do much to succeed in this match.

Jonathan Davis of course he became the best player in this match with his one goal bringing victory for their team to continue their journey in the Champions, David also made a big contribution to his team so he took advantage of the opportunities that existed, now Mourinho and his team must be satisfied with this defeat they must return and Mourinho is required to succeed in the Turkish Super Lig for him his journey in the Champions this season is over and I think Lille will get a ticket to the Champions if their performance is stable and continues to develop.
