La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[LUCKMCFLY]

Sevilla defeated Getafe 1-0, which gave Real Madrid a nightmare.  I expected them to play a comfortable match, but I was wrong.  They scored the goal in the middle of the first half.  Getafe could have given Sevilla a nightmare too.  It's been a good week for Sevilla.  They still have 5 points between Real Madrid.  Moreover, Sevilla is missing a game.  I attribute the low number of victorious teams out of the top 10 to the quality of La Liga.  Even Getafe can beat Real Madrid when it comes to a quality league.  A league open to all scores.

Real Madrid and Sevilla both won, so practically nothing has changed at the table. If there was no competition between Real Madrid and Sevilla then La Liga would be boring because Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are further behind Real Madrid and Sevilla. It's been a tough season for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Football is full of surprises just like when Getafe beat Real Madrid and I think it's surprises like this that make title races even more exciting.

You are absolutely right about what you say, Sevilla has given back the excitement of this league, the dominance of Real Madrid is imminent, it is something that exceeds all expectations, the Barcelona that we all believed would surprise under the direction of Xavi did not do it, like Atlético de Madrid, now the best positioned and I think that they will not lower him from that position is Real Madrid, also with the advantage they have I do not think they trust themselves and let themselves win more. For me the League already has its champion undoubtedly.

Honestly, this kind of competition is what I expect from a league. Whoever comes out as champion, I will be happy. Moreover, the team I was championing won the title, that's a bonus for me.
Competition like this makes the League not boring. Which if only one team dominates, for me it makes the League a bit uninteresting. Because we can know, even predict from the start who will win the title.

Wow, I don't think anyone thought that Barcelona would be able to put up a fight for Real Madrid, in the last minute Barcelona could score an equalizer so the game continued in extra time. If it's like this, then I will be able to confirm that Barcelona really have good prospects with Xavi, of course with a performance like this Barcelona will really return to the UCL next season maybe with better preparation.

In the end, they managed to bring some troubles to Real Madrid. They made efforts and had a good match but Real Madrid are stronger and they had a win. What will happen after this defeat for Barcelona?

They will have two targets left: Fighting for top 4 in La Liga. Fighting for a title in Europa League. I see they will very likely fail in two tasks. But they have to fight and should not give up because of their own future. This season and next one will be important for Barcelona to build up young players, improve their finance and if they can succeed, it will help them in next 4 to 5 years or even much longer.

Ofcourse,you don't have to expect Xavi's Barcelona sit back to watch Madrid humiliate and defeat them just like that in an El- classico. Xavi has been building the team since he came and he keeps on building,and with what I'm seeing so far,The Barca team will come to a position where they will be playing their former pattern of football,Tiki-taka.
The  club will certainly do well under Xavi,and that's what I know.

Real Madrid narrowly won against Barcelona yesterday. The match was indeed tough and also interesting. No doubt, I was really impressive with the performance Barcelona put up. They played amazingly. Although, Valverde secured the 3rd goals which enabled Madrid to win.
However, we have another tough match today. Atletico Madrid will face Athletic Club. Who ever wins will probably get qualified to the finals. Anyways, I think Atletico Madrid is the favorite here. Nevertheless, Athletic Club can surprise us by beating Atletico. But, am quite sure both teams will surely score.

Even though Barcelona lost against Real Madrid, Barcelona's performance was quite satisfactory.  And I am very entertained by
the Barcelona vs Real Madrid match. Because it was unexpected that Barcelona were able to provide resistance to Real Madrid,
Barcelona showed that they were not easy to beat. But because Real Madrid's performance is indeed better than Barcelona this season,
Real Madrid finally managed to beat Barcelona. Barcelona does need time to return to the Barcelona we know, and since Xavi became
Barcelona's main coach, Barcelona's performance is also increasingly showing progress. Barcelona's target this season to be in the top 4,
I think can be achieved, because in addition to Barcelona's performance getting better, Barcelona's rivals are also not playing consistently.
Maybe only Real Madrid and Sevilla have played consistently enough so far. The rest are like Atlético, Real Sociedad, Betis and Rayo did not
play consistently. So there is still a very big chance for Barcelona this season to enter the top 4. Then for the target of winning the Europa League
it is very likely that Barcelona will fail, because in the Europa League there are still many strong teams.

It would be strange enough if Xavi tried to instill a different style of play in Barcelona. Still, Xavi himself played in Barcelona and knows perfectly well what Barcelona played and how Barcelona should play now. Another question is that the current level of the composition does not yet allow this to be done in full. It should not be a secret to anyone that Barcelona has to make non-standard moves in order to free up financial resources for signing new players, such as re-signing a contract with old players on different terms. By the way, I'm getting a little scared for Real Madrid and for its sporting results if something happens to Benzema and he has to drop out before the end of the season.

i was thinking the same thing. Xavi's performance and tactics seem to be imposing because their current player capacity is not complete and indeed cannot do what Xavi expects
but on the other hand I feel it is still good and there are changes although not too significant with the arrival of xavi to camp nou.
he needs at least a season or two if he wants to see his tactics turn out to be what he has in mind.

[RaltcoinsB]

What a match it is! I didn't expect Barcelona to resist Real Madrid this much.  Actually, Real Madrid got ahead two times but Barcelona still equalized the score and we are in the extra time now. And Valverde carried his team ahead once more in the 98th minute. Barcelona are trying their best in the second half of the extra time now as they are 2-3 behind. But I think that Barcelona won't score the equalizer once again. Real Madrid will reach the final.

Well, Barcelona have been nothing shot of amazing with the level of play in this game, I didn't expect anything less as it is Super Cup but, judging from there bad play and stands in the Laliga, this is a good play. Though, the game is lost already as they are lagging by a goal and with very few minutes on the timer. I would say, they did there best but, Real Madrid now is there better and very much deserve this win.

Edited: the final whistle is gone after extra time and it's a
Barcelona 2-3 Real Madrid.
Nice game for both sides, very entertaining with the goals and replies.

I think Barcelona's struggle has satisfied everyone. Before the game, very few people said that Barcelona would win. If we looked at the game played in La Liga, we thought that Real Madrid would win. Even Xavi said that Real Madrid is the best team right now. As such, although this score did not make the Barcelona fans happy, they liked the game played and the struggle given.

I think so too, from my previous post I have said no matter how bad the club's performance, both Barcelona and Madrid in the league, but still there will be a fierce match when the two teams meet at El Classico so far, even though Barcelona must admit defeat to Madrid in that match,  but barcelona played quite well and even forced Madrid to continue the match until extra time, isn't it very clear if we look at barcelona against madrid playing quite aggressively and very differently when facing other teams in the league?

[CLS63]

It was really great to see another El Clasico in the Super Cup semi finals. Maybe we don't have most of the old players at Barcelona especially anymore but it was still a very competitive game and I enjoyed it surely. Barcelona gave their best even though Real Madrid were the favourite team to win and advance. Barcelona found the equalizer two times and had the 2-2 score. But in the extra time, Real Madrid got 3-2 ahead and Barcelona weren't able to equalize it again. Real Madrid are in the finale now but I appreciate Barcelona's performance also.

Despite losing to Real Madrid, Barcelona's performance was not bad (especially if we look at the condition of Barcelona this season). They can keep up with Real Madrid and even put pressure on Real Madrid a few times. Regardless of the result, the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is an exciting match. The match was tight because both teams were playing insistently and taking turns making goals.

I was surprise with final score on el clasico because few minutes left Madrid lead 1-2 from Barcelona but Ansu Fati make it different and scoring one goal again to make score draw 2-2 and match going on with extended although Valverde success give one goal for Madrid and take to final Spain Super League, I don't see Barcelona team right now as favorite to win in this clasico because they have out from la liga candidate to get trophy and now out from top four position standing. Have been over for Barcelona in this season and keep working hard how to back top four position qualify for Champion league next year.

The good game shown by Barcelona was recognized by Real Madrid coach "Carlo Ancelotti". Barcelona showed the quality as a big team in Xavi's first El-Clasico match after being appointed as coach of Barcelona.
During 90 minutes of normal time, the goal chase became the most exciting spectacle in this match.
Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona resistance with a score of 3-2. This victory led Madrid to the 2021/22 Supercopa de Espana final, and will face the winner of the other semi final between Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.

[jakdanyel]

Barcelona really resisted Real Madrid quite well. I guess that most people expected Real Madrid to just dominate the match and get a comfortable win. But thanks to Barcelona's dedication here, they didn't let Real Madrid get past themselves too easily. Real Madrid were barely able to eliminate them after extra time. Real Madrid was still the better side in terms of performance but I appreciate Barcelona for their great effort also.

Compared to the first el classico of the season, I think yesterday match actually showed the meaning of el classico actually  , to be honest I was less entertained when the first el classico of this season happened and at that time it seemed that madrid was too dominant in the match, unlike the case with el classico which just we watched, the two teams actually played quite insistently and attacked each other, yes even though el classico yesterday is not as hot as el classico when messi and ronaldo played in la liga, but the match really showed the capacity as two big teams that competed.

They have the experience in games like this, I can recall them playing to this extent in the Champions League some seasons ago.
Although Barcelona was the best side for me to win this game.
Benzema clings to goalscoring he's been good all through this season, he's having no competition upfront a good form towards the world Cup.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Benzema scores again. I love this man. It is very difficult to do justice to the Real Madrid jersey for many years. However, we cannot say the same for Benzema. He became a true Real Madrid legend. He scored the goal that put Real Madrid ahead again today. The situation is now 2-1 in favor of Real Madrid.

Karim Benzema has been loyal, committed and consistent in Real Madrid. I don't even know if I will say his prime is coming at his old age.
He is a true legend of the club.
Meanwhile, Barcelona put in some efforts I least expected from them. They have really improved.  Beating Real Madrid in possessions and passes.
I was so astonished that I had nothing else to do than to praise Xavi.
His commitment is showing results.
Barcelona can be great again.

They played better this time against an Elite Madrid. Actually I was impressed by Barca today, they played better to be honest.
The lead by the youthful Barcelona front, I wasn't anticipating that much from the current group yet Xavi changing it well. In Xavi hands Barca is on right track. But, Sad to see five consecutive El Clásico losses for Barcelona.

What a performance from Barcelona. I am impressed by the way their players fought in that game. That was a really good El Classico. Real Madrid probably performed their worst in the El Classico while Barcelona performed their best but still they lost the game. There has always been this difference in performance level between Real Madrid and Barcelona from the beginning. Barcelona is gradually raising to the challenge though they lost but they displayed their best performance of the season. I believe they would rise again and dominate. I believe they can achieve good things this season if their players actually stay free from injury. I am happy to see Fati back, he is a huge talent.

[borovichok]

This shows that xavi is gradually improving this team.i saw the intensity the players put in this el classico it shows they are understanding what their coach want from them.De Jong did very well in that midfield.would have like Barcelona to go through to the final they were kind of the better team if you consider what they have gone through this season.i pray Atletico Madrid win against Atletico club today so the final won't be easy for Madrid.

I somewhat predicted that Barca will lose this match badly. Yes, they lost, but with the gameplay they showcased, I'm quite impressed.
After Messi and Griezmann left, they were in shambles and they showed very good football play in this match. Real won by a winner scored by Fedew Valverde in the 98th minute, but even though they won, Barcelona clearly played the better football between the two teams.
