Match Stats

Despite only making one signing over the summer, dealing with a series of serious injuries, and fielding a very young squad, Barcelona has managed to surprise everyone so far this season. Few considered them genuine competitors to Real Madrid, yet Hansi Flick’s team currently leads La Liga with 27 points from 10 matches, having lost only once to Osasuna (0-2) with a partially rotated squad. Over the weekend, they comfortably defeated Sevilla 5-1, a match marked by Gavi’s return after 348 days out due to injury.


In the Champions League, however, Barcelona suffered a surprising 1-2 loss to Monaco in their first match, having played most of the game with 10 men. They recovered by thrashing Young Boys 5-0 at home in their second match.


Bayern Munich remains the favorite for the Bundesliga title, leading the table after 7 rounds. Many were initially skeptical of Vincent Kompany’s appointment as head coach, but so far, the Belgian has handled the job well.


Bayern is unbeaten in the Bundesliga, having drawn with Bayer Leverkusen (1-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3) while winning five other matches. They share 17 points with RB Leipzig, but Bayern tops the standings due to their superior goal difference. Over the weekend, Bayern demolished Stuttgart 4-0 at home.


In the Champions League, Bayern made history by scoring 9 goals in a single match, routing Dinamo Zagreb 9-2. However, they were shocked in the second round by a 0-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

Prediction: 1-1
