Outstanding: Manchester City

5-0 at 18 minutes; 8-0 at the end. It was the biggest win in the club's history and there was only one goal to match the biggest victory in the history of the Premier. 28 shots, three of them to the sticks. On Saturday at Watford it was a hurricane, a whirlwind. Great game of Kevin de Bruyne , perhaps the most complete midfielder of the moment, and triplet of Bernardo Silva , the best of the team last season. It was such a comfortable clash that Raheem Sterling was able to rest the whole game, while the Spaniards Angeliño and Eric García enjoyed minutes in the second half. The City of Pep Guardiola has been scoring at a very high level in the Premier for two years. We wait for you in Europe.

Notable: Real Madrid

Intensity has been the word of the week. The one that was missing in Paris, according to Zinedine Zidane . The one that did appear last night in Seville. It was not the brightest white game, there were no great individual performances. But the block emerged, a solidarity team. With attention, sacrifice, lines together and defensive aids. And the main thing: from beginning to end, something not frequent in recent times. In current top-level football, a match is not won by walking. But if you match the intensity of the rival, quality is usually imposed.

Approved: Renan Lodi

A term widely used in football Italy is tempism . Its literal translation would be "synchronization." But to understand it better, it would be enough to see the first matches of the new left side of Atlético. It always appears at the right moment in attack, offering a pass solution to the teammate carrying the ball. From the side it serves very good centers, usually with the strength and proper placement between the defense and the goalkeeper. They just need to find a auctioneer. But, in addition, on Saturday against Celta he also dared to define the door on a couple of occasions. He arrived from Brazil being almost a stranger and, despite the expulsion in his debut, he has quickly won the rojiblanca fans. 21 years. A good signing.

Thriller: FC Barcelona

It would not be fair to take a whit of merit from Granada, on which we will return another week. But the recurrence of Barça makes them deserve the lowest grade of the day, repeating on Saturday (even surpassing) the very bad feelings left in their three previous outings of the season: Bilbao, Pamplona and Dortmund. All darts point to Ernesto Valverde - confirmed in the position without conviction - but players cannot be exempted from responsibility, each and every one below their level. Inexplicable defensive errors, little control in midfield and again without auction despite playing the entire second half with four strikers. It is his worst start in 25 years, an urgent reaction is urgent.
