Bundesliga is one of the most popular and interesting European leagues, with sell-out stadiums, exciting football and lots of goals. The new season started on a Friday night, with a Bayern’s home game against Stuttgart. It was a great opening game, as Stuttgart finished fourth in the league last season and certainly are a strong team. But, just like last year, the Bavarians are too strong and this game looked like it was a continuation of the last season. On the last day of 2025/26, Bayern defeated Cologne 5-1 and then defeated Stuttgart in the German Cup final (3-0).

For any other football fan (apart from Bayern’s), this looks to be another boring season in which nobody will be able to challenge the Bavarians for the title. Vincent Kompany’s players destroyed Stuttgart as they wanted to set the tone ..

Strand Larsen made the crucial intervention near the goal-line to keep the hosts level.City continued to threaten and eventually got their reward in the 17th minute. Semenyo delivere..

How many times has Turkish soil shaken this summer, particularly in Istanbul? The ground was already rumbling when Fenerbahce signed Mason Greenwood and then Romelu Lukaku. It shook again following Besiktas’ captures of Leandro Trossard and Dusan Vlahovic, and now Galatasaray have decided to send shockwaves across the Bosphorus once more — Rafael Leao is on his way!Another major summer transfer saga has finally reached its conclusion. Galatasaray offered the Portuguese winger a significantly higher salary while also presenting Milan with a more attractive financial package, leaving Aston Villa empty-handed in their pursuit of the Rossoneri star. They are unlikely to complain for long, though, with highly-rated 19-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye arriving from Paris Saint-Germain. But that is a story for another day.🚨💥 BREAKING | Rafael Leao to Galatasaray – DONE DEAL ✔️Full agreement reached with AC Milan.
