It just feels like last week that football returned to action after the first international break. And now we have the second international break upon us.
In the last international break, I wrote about clubs that had a 100% record.
Read more about it here: 10 clubs to have the perfect start to the season in Europe's top 5 leagues
However, now, only 2 clubs can boast of that record. There are still clubs that may not have a perfect start but are still yet to be defeated in their respective leagues.
Bundesliga
Dortmund
The only club in Germany to remain unbeaten in the league so far. Having played 7 games, BVB have won 5 and drawn 2. And as a result, are first in their league.
Dortmund have been ruthless in their last 3 games, scoring 15 goals (23 overall). Their top scorer, Paco Alacer has scored 6 goals, in 3 matches that he featured in, but has yet to play 90 mins! That's a goal every 13.5 minutes.
With Bayern's form looking bad as of now, Dortmund have the chance of winning the league this year. Still, a long way to go, but if BVB keep this up, it could be a possibility.
Serie A
Juventus
It looks like once again Juventus would walk away with the Serie A title, given the fine form they are in.
Having played 8 games, Juventus still have the perfect start, winning all 8 games. Ronaldo, who struggled to score goals after his move to Italy, is the clubs' leading goalscorer along with Mario Mandzukic in the league (4).
The Old Lady are the only team in Europe's top 5 leagues to win their opening 10 games of the season in all competitions.
Ligue 1
Paris Saint-German
There is no stopping Paris Saint-German so far this season. They are one of the other clubs to win all their 9 league games, thus having a perfect start to their season.
In 9 games, the Ligue 1 champions have scored a whopping 32 goals and conceded just 6! But of course, this should come as no surprise. The main objective for the club is to go beyond the Quarter-finals in the Champions League.
Can PSG go invincibles this season?
Premier League
Chelsea
Chelsea may not have the 100% start they would have hoped for, but they are still unbeaten in the league and are 2nd in the points table with 20 points (Manchester City and Liverpool are also on the same points and the goal difference separates the 3 clubs).
In 8 league games, the Blues have scored 18 goals and conceded 5. They meet Manchester United right after the international break is over and would be hoping to extend their unbeaten run.
Liverpool
The men in red are not slowing down and are posing a serious threat to Manchester City to defend their title.
Their perfect start to the season came to an end after being held 1-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and then 0-0 to Manchester City at Anfield.
They sit 3rd on the points table, on level with City and Chelsea. They face Huddersfield and then Cardiff City and would be aiming for full 6 points and continue to put pressure on the top 3.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola's side have continued from where they left off last season. 8 games, 21 goals scored and 3 conceded.
The men in blue are on a mission to retain the league but so far, things are not looking easy. Chelsea and Liverpool have been giving them a run for their money and their Champions League campaign also didn't get off to the best start.
