Flamengo beat Palmeiras to win the Copa Libertadores

Actual title race alert in Ligue 1. PSG lost at Monaco and Marseille could only draw with Toulouse. Allowed Lens to go top of the table with a 3-0 home win over Nantes. They've won the league just once in their history, in 1997/98. Runners-up three years ago.

Galatasaray looked like they might run away with the league, but they have only won 1 of the last 4 and so a 3 way title fight is very much back on

They've only dropped 2 points so far this season. Reckon they could get the most points ever in the Bundesliga this season.

Makes up for 'only' two goals in his last five league games. He's got 17 goals in 13 league games now this season, 28 in 22 in all competitions. For context, 28 goals would beat or equal four of his nine full seasons at Spurs.

Bayern's next three games are against teams in the bottom four.

Fwiw they dropped 11 points out of 102 in setting the Bundesliga record of 91 points in a season, in 2012-13. Just two so far this.

Has something occurred at Fiorentina? 6th last season, qualified for Europe, and they have failed to win any of their first 14 league games?

Bloke who ran the club and had a firm controlling hand on everything, Joe Barone, died suddenly during last season. Raffaele Palladino, their manager that got them into Europe, quit in the summer with no job offer from elsewhere and having just extended his contract, because he said behind the scenes he no longer liked what was going on and the club was heading in the wrong direction. the Sporting Director, who usually worked together with Barone, was left on his own to make lots of decisions and find a new manager and handle transfers, and he chose Stephano Pioli, a former manager and someone with a decent record, but it didn't work and lots of players were still unhappy at Palladino leaving, Pioli then got sacked, the Sporting Director then got sacked, and now you have a bunch of people running a club that are not experienced, they chose a new manager who had only managed in Serie A for 1 season before, a season which he got sacked at the end of. and on top of all of that they apparently made some silly panicked transfer decisions this summer, and are now reliant on a forward they spent €25M + €4M on who has scored 1 goal.
