Speaking of Torino's away match with AEK Athens in Group D of the Europa League, it was also interesting to note that the number of spectators entering the stadium that day broke the record for the largest number of spectators for a home team this season. This is not to say how popular the Red Bulls are in the local area, but there have been many games here where fans have been banned from entering the stadium for many games in a row, so the home team can only play in a state of zero spectators for many consecutive games, which is so pitiful!

In last season's Greek Cup final in May, AEK Athens lost 2-1 to Thessaloniki, who had been in the top three of the league since 2011, losing the only possible title match. In the course of the game, there was a large-scale clash between fans on both sides, and in the stands on the top floor of the stadium, two groups of fans from both sides rushed to each other's fans to fight together. Some wearing hats and helmets, and some fans with weapons (golf clubs, flagsticks, baseball bats, and Greek fans are also very strong) hit each other until the police arrived to take control of the situation, and the clash was quelled, although the game was interrupted for 10 minutes before it resumed.

After the game, the Disciplinary Committee of the Greek Football Federation announced that, as the first party to provoke fans, Thessaloniki would be deducted six points in the new league season (cancelled after appeal), seven home games without fans, and fined 282,500 euros. AEK Athens was also fined €170,000 and not allowed fans to enter the three home league games of the new season.

So it wasn't until the eighth round of the league, when they lost to Atromitos, that they had ticket revenue for the first time, but due to the current economic crisis in their country, the Athena Spiros Luis Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate up to 68,079 people until the match against Torino, had an average of less than 16,000 spectators. Even in the Europa League against Vienna, Austria, only 17,000 people bought tickets to enter the stadium, which was very dismal. Fortunately, the Red Bulls are also a Serie A team after all, and they still have some appeal, with 42,500 home fans and less than 200 away fans, finally making this five-star stadium look a little popular.

Speaking of attendance, after 11 rounds of the league, La Presse published a report on the attendance of Serie A teams in the new season, based on data provided by the Italian Football Watch. The article pointed out that although the ratings of the live league broadcast are still not optimistic, the number of viewers going to various stadiums is showing an increasing momentum year by year. This season, Serie A attendance has reached its peak in the past five years, with an average of 24,445 attendance per game after eleven rounds, an increase of 10% compared to 22,217 last season, and the highest increase in the past five years.

In terms of the team, Inter Milan has received strong support from many fans with Spalletti's strong performance after taking over, and the number of fans who go to the stadium has also skyrocketed, from an average of 46,620 fans per game last season to 59,635 fans this season, which is undoubtedly the first in the league. However, due to the full occupancy figure of the Meazza Stadium is 80,018, it is not the best situation in terms of attendance, but 75.78% can also rank fifth among the 20 teams in Serie A.

The number of people closely behind the Nerazzurri is their city rival AC Milan, although the current results are very average, but "Brother Li" spent more than 200 million in the summer still stimulated the nerves of fans. Their average home attendance per game has risen from 43,236 last season to 55,264, the second highest in the league, and the 70.55% attendance per game can also rank seventh in Serie A. In third place is Napoli with an average attendance of 44,497 and fifth in terms of attendance with 73.86%.

Juventus, the six-time winner in a row, is limited by the capacity of the Allianz Stadium in the early 40,000s, with an average attendance of 39,350, ranking fourth. But they have the highest attendance in the Apennine Peninsula, with 94.9% being the only Italian team to exceed 90% (in this case, professional and semi-professional teams at all levels).

As for Torino, the Stadio Olimpico currently has 27,994 seats and an average home attendance of 24,010, ranking seventh in Serie A, with a modest increase. However, the attendance was not low, with 85.8% behind their city rivals, promoted Maspar (88.02%) and Cagliari (86.10%), which was achieved at a time when ticket prices increased by an average of 2 euros compared to last season, and the club's hierarchy had reason to open a bottle of champagne and celebrate.

Among the strong teams, Lazio's home atmosphere is the worst, although the average of more than 24,000 per game can still be ranked sixth, but considering the capacity of the Rome Olympic Stadium as high as 73261, the attendance rate of 37.64% is the worst in the entire Serie A.

Overall, Serie A teams have an average of 24,051 attendance per game at home, a little more than 8% more than last season. The average attendance per game is 64.53%, although it is still the bottom of the five major leagues, but the signs of recovery are obvious, and the impact on the entire country is very positive.

Across Europe, there are five teams with an average attendance of more than 70,000 per game: Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. However, compared to the high attendance of the Bundesliga and Premier League teams, the situation of La Liga teams is not so optimistic, and they can still rely on the capacity of the stadium to make the list. Barcelona, which has experienced a "regional farce", has also been greatly affected, although it can still gain more than 78,000 live audiences, but the proportion of less than eighty percent has become a new low in the past two decades. Fortunately, their number one arch-rival is not much better, with just over 70,000 and an attendance rate of 83.5%, which is also the lowest ranking among the top giants.

The Bernabeu has always been one of the most attended super stadiums, and the previous two seasons were so good that they attracted fans from all over the world every day, so it stands to reason that the crowd should be full. However, Real Madrid, who went to the new season as the defending champion of the league and the Champions League twice, ushered in a lot of empty seats, which attracted heated discussions from the outside world, and the primary reason they analyzed was the sharp decline in the team's performance.

By the first weekend of November, Zizou had led his side to 10 league games, but was already nine points behind leaders Barcelona by surprise. You must know that after Neymar was poached by Paris and the replacement Dembele was seriously injured and absent, the outside world unanimously believed that the hope of the Galaxy Battleship defending the league was very big, but this reality slapped everyone in the face.

Even aside from Barcelona, who are chasing their dream two in terms of results, Real Madrid is currently only beating Villarreal on goal difference and ranking fourth in the standings, many points behind the re-emerging Valencia and city rival Atletico Madrid. After ten games, the team has 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 20 points, which does not look too bad, but their schedule is also a loose distribution of the front and the back, and the opponents encountered before are only Valencia is a strong opponent, Real Madrid is still playing at home, and the result is barely getting a point. They were held to a draw at home to bottom-placed Levante in the third round and humiliated by Betis 0-1 at the Bernabeu in the fifth round, but the most surprising thing was that last weekend they lost away to Girona, who were in La Liga for the first time in 87 years, giving the opposition team the most glorious moment in their history.

It was after the first meeting in the history of the two sides that rumors began to circulate in Spain about Zidane's possible departure. In the previous two seasons, the head coach of Real Madrid, who had only coached the reserve team for one year, was directly transformed into the world's best coach, and was pulled off the altar at the same unimaginable speed.

In the Champions League, where Zizou was able to "become a god", although he was considered to be sent to a group of death after the group draw, Real Madrid rarely played his strength when facing Dortmund, one of the previous bitter masters, and won a long-lost victory in Germany. But no one expected that the defending champions would fall into a completely passive situation when facing Tottenham Hotspur, who have little experience in Europe and have not been consistent enough in the Premier League this season. The Galactic Battleship was first held to a 1-1 draw at home, and then lost 1-3 at Wembley in the middle of the week, almost missing out on the top spot in the group, which also brought a huge hidden danger to the subsequent knockout round.

Specific to the game, although all the main forces last season were there, the state of the vast majority of people has declined significantly, Ronaldo, Magic Flute, Kroos, Ramos, Marcelo The five cores seem to be due to age, and the regression is very obvious; And Benzema, who everyone originally thought was already bad to the limit, once again refreshed the bottom line of people's understanding of it, and it was almost a slump; In the goalkeeper position, Navas has suffered a series of injuries, and Casilla, who is considered one of the double insurances, has not been able to seize the opportunity to prove himself, and there are a lot of mistakes; As for the Young Guards, they have become the laughing stock of the outside world.

Asensio, who ushered in a big explosion last season and won another "reputation as Ronaldo's successor", seems to have been cursed this autumn, and has become a cancer in the team together with Isco. Soon after Jesse returned to Valdebebas, he picked up the "injury skill pack" he had lost, and after the fifth round of the league, he was directly suspended due to a leg muscle problem, and he has not been able to return until now. Joining the Chelsea King is Ileo Vallejo, a young centre-back who was also loaned to Torino last season, and has been sidelined for more than 60 per cent of games by the halfway point through the season due to various injuries, and appears to be the second glass man after Raphael Varane.

Te'o and Ceballos, who were recruited at a high price in the summer, can only play in underappreciated games such as the Copa del Rey, and neither Zizou nor the team's veteran players seem to trust them very much, resulting in the two men rarely getting the opportunity to show their potential.

And Mbappe, who is given high hopes, although his performance on the field is still very bright, but due to the poor relationship with several bigwigs in the front, coupled with the rotation of the head coach and the repeated interference of Bale's constant injuries and returns, it is difficult for him to get continuous playing time and play 100% power. There is a grapevine that his agent has begun to be dissatisfied with the current situation, just in the past few days, the French media broke the news that Grand Paris intends to use a contract of more than 100 million yuan to win the French hopeful star, and for a time Real Madrid's senior management and head coach fell into the siege of transfer messages, which is simply adding fuel to the fire.

As soon as he learned of this rumor, Li Mudi wanted to contact his friend and wanted to discuss with him about the team's lineup arrangement, but just in time for the Torino team to be in poor condition, they were either draws or losses in the league in a row, so they put it on hold for the time being. It wasn't until early on the morning of November 3, when Torino flew back to Italy from Greece, that he took the time to chat with the Real Madrid manager on the phone. Judging from the voice, the other party's life is indeed not very good now, and in the face of the huge pressure of poor results, there has been a voice of no river crab within the club. Although it is not enough to let him out of class, Qi Zu's locker room management ability, which has always been good at, is still under a lot of doubt.

Real Madrid has a historical tradition of ganging up, and the "big gang" led by Ronaldo has a great say in the team, even if Zidane has the intention to reuse young people in some less critical games, but this decision has obviously encountered some obstacles, and these young men have not been able to take advantage of the opportunity to perform, which makes the atmosphere in the dressing room particularly delicate.

Two days ago, Marca did a survey, and 73% of fans believe that Ronaldo should be used as a center forward, Mbappe as a left winger, and Benzema should be abandoned. The latter's goal rate this season has been so terrible, with only two goals and one assist in all 11 games in all competitions out of the pit stop, which is much less efficient than Europe's second- and third-rate centre-forwards. However, the Frenchman has the support of the team's number one star, firmly occupies the position of the main striker, presses Mayoral to the bench, and also makes Mbappe and Jesse before the injury have a lot less playing time.

Although the Torino boss did not want to offend his friend verbally, he took the liberty of persuading him once again to make a change and abolish the privileges of some of the players in the squad and take the team into his own hands. However, Qi Zu still looked indecisive, and it seemed that he would continue to compromise for a while, and Li Mudi just hoped that when he made a decision, it would not be too late.
