Kulusevski with the debut goal for Juventus. Looks like he is going to be a smart pickup for Juve.

Klaus

Plays like a seasoned midfielder despite only being 20.

Something very satisfying about seeing Ronaldo try to take on the entire defence by himself only to end up on the ground while Kulusevski scores with one touch.

Good start to Pirlo's managerial career as Juve won by 3-0 against Sampdoria.

Apparently both Rabiot,Ramsey (both who were rumored to be sold)had very impressive games along with debutantes McKenny,Kulusevki and Frabotta (left back from Juve academy).

Based on Understat Rambo and Cronaldo were their most influential players.

Zlatan gives Milan an early lead against Bologna.

The man is showing no signs of slowing down.

2-0 Milan now. Zlatan scores from the penalty after Bennacer decided to go down easily in the Bolgna box.

JazzG

Don't rate Zlatan as highly as some but one think cannot deny is how professional he is and how well he looks after himself. Even at his age he's in great shape.

Bryant

Classic Ibra right here!

QuincyAbeyie

It's like he's a parody of himself at this point.

Atalanta seem to have started the new season in their typical fun finish.

Currently they are 3-2 up at Torino and it is not even half time yet.

mentalvortex

Ribery still has got it. Has been very good tonight against Inter and has set up two goals.

Loylz boy Castrovili created and finished that equaliser by himself. Class

To be honest Ribery did well to hold up play to create space for that shot but yeah, that was a great pass to start the move jones. Then he ran another 50 yards to catch up with the play to finish the chance. This guy is going to be Italy's next big thing. Only a matter of time before Juve et al start chasing him.

Yeah he did.
I'm not sure you can call him 'the next big thing' when he plays on the same squad as Chiesa who will probably fetch more money though.
The Castro goal was reminiscent of Ramsey. Just beautiful running into the box and smooth finishing.
That said, the most impressive guy yesterday had to be Ribery. Still so silky on the ball. And the quality of his passing for both of his assists was top tier.

Claudius

Good game Sassuolo - Spezia. Sassuolo really good at building through the middle through Locatelli and Durcic/Berardi looking dangerous up ahead. They're proper protagonists, full control of the game and should be further ahead. You can see why Fiorentina and other clubs were interested in De Zerbi. He's a young manager whoo coaches a really attractive style

Brief Serie A roundup from today -

Milan continued their good run (unbeaten in 17 games in all competitions) with a 2-0 win at Crotone.
One big concern is Ante Rebic, who went off injured.
On the other hand, Real Madrid loanee Brahim Diaz looked quite good today on his debut and scored.

Napoli with a very impressive 6-0 win against Genoa.
Osihmen has looked very good (despite not scoring), providing a focal point with his strength, speed and movement for the likes of Insigne, Mertens and Lozano.
Credit to Gattusso for reintegrating Lozano (has scored in both games this season so far) into the team who looked lost and seemingly on his way out last season.

jones

Gattuso is a seriously good manager. Proving himself in his second club now and showing some really surprising variety to his approaches

mentalvortex

Very entertaining clash between Roma and Juventus so far.

Roma are leading by 2-1 with half hour left. Juve are down to ten after Rabiot got a red card.
