Ronaldo is returning to the Theater of Dreams....enough said.

Atletico Mineiro's brilliant performance didn't just signal the end of El Muñeco's dominance, but--quite possibly--the end of Argentina's run of having one of the Libertadores favorites every season.

Plus, lots of other football from around the globe including Arsenal's latest signings, Club León soaring under Ariel Holan, PSV Eindhoven's title odds, and the future of two of Serie A's biggest stars--Locatelli and Vlahovic.

The Premier League is up and running but not without a few bumps in the road for some of last season's brightest performers. I preview all of the action in week two including how Lindelöf will react to Varane's arrival, if Leeds will bounce back when Everton comes to town, and whether anything has really changed with a new defensive manager guiding Tottenham to an upset over City.

Plus, Emmanuel Dennis' odds of continuing his hot start, Arsenal's chances to take anything away from a match against European champions Chelsea, and the fallout of David Moyes' "challenging" remarks towards Said Benrahma.
