Already boring: Bayern smash Stuttgart at the start of Bundesliga

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). Three months have passed by, a World Cup was played, new players arrived for both teams but it didn’t matter nothing – Bayern crushed Stuttgart 5-1 and as always, it could have been more.

Vincent Kompany’s players destroyed Stuttgart as they wanted to set the tone ..

Turkey still shaking: Leao to Galatasaray!

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.
