La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[DU18]

Elche are 1-0 ahead against Real Madrid very surprisingly. This wasn't an expected thing for me and we are entering the second half of the extra time. Elche scored right after the Real Madrid player Marcelo was sent off. Real Madrid have nothing to lose now and they would fight with all they have got I assume. Elche must defend them very well for the last 15-minute period. Real Madrid won the Super Cup title but they are likely to be eliminated from the Copa del Rey seemingly.

Despite having played a draw in the first half, madrid actually pressed more after the second half started and even madrid were able to create many chances, but the poor finishing of madrid and the solid defense of elche forced both teams to play in extra time, but madrid who played with 10 players from the 102nd minute finally made a comeback by winning 1-2 after previously they were 1-0 down from Elche.
With this victory, Madrid managed to qualify for  quarter final and made their chances of winning the trible this season open quite large.

Copa Del Ray games tonight, Real Madrid looking sharp and fit for tonight.
They'll continue their strong form tonight, a win is sure for them to proceed to the next round of the Copa Del Ray.

There are two Coppa Del Rey matches today namely Elche vs Real Madrid and Bilbao vs Barcelona.
Real Madrid might win this game, but not Barcelona. I want Real Madrid and Barcelona to reach the Copa Del Rey final this season and maybe it will be a good final for both. Although Barcelona looks much weaker, but in the last match we really saw an extraordinary game from them. So basically Barcelona have to win this match even though Barcelona haven't found the right solution for their goalscorer this season.

Finally, got to see your prediction comes.
Real Madrid won with Eden hazard scoring his first goal of the season.
Failing to win the game and going and some  into the extra minutes of the game.
Barcelona are currently playing a draw in time.

Barcelona team managed to equalize at the last minute against bilbao to make it 2 2 it was surprising considering that they only had two goal attempts and they managed to score two goals now they will play extra time if they manage to win today it will be thanks to ter stegen.

[Slow death]

barcelona 2 - 2 Ath. Bilbao

The game is not over yet, but a fact that catches my attention is that in the last games Barcelona have been losing and then manage to draw in the last minutes of the game, their defense is being a big problem. Xavi needs to be able to improve this, they had already managed to stabilize in one or two or 3 games in the past if I'm not mistaken

We have two games today in Copa Del Rey and the result of both matches has to be determined after extra time!
Real Madrid win with 2 goals scored after being late with 1 goal. Now Barcelona is still playing but they are 1 goal behind Bilbao (3-2), less than 13 minutes left and it seems the end of Barca?

Barcelona have problems in their defence, how is it possible to concede in the early minutes, This is a lesson for Xavi to make Barcelona defenders
more disciplined and concentrated, especially in the early minutes of the game. Because conceding in the early minutes usually makes Barcelona
players a morally down, so it's better for the next match Barcelona no longer conceded in the early minutes. Then in the Bilbao vs Barcelona
match, Barcelona had more control of the ball and the accuracy of the passes was also more accurate than Bilbao. The problem is Barcelona don't
create as many chances as Bilbao, Bilbao can shoot far more than Barcelona, no wonder Bilbao can win the game. Finally Barcelona have to admit
Bilbao is better, and it was quite painful to lose in extra time for Barcelona, ​​but Bilbao deserved more to win. Xavi has a very tough task,
because Barcelona is still playing far from expected, there are still many things to improve from Barcelona's performance.

In principle, we can say the standard that there is one less tournament and now Barcelona can put more effort into the remaining tournaments. But the problem is that there are more chances of winning the cup than in the championship. Nevertheless, the gap in the standings from Real Madrid is quite large and there is no reason yet why Barcelona would suddenly give out a big winning streak, and Real Madrid lost these 17 points that the teams share. Also, let's not forget that other competitors would also be very happy to take advantage of the suddenly presented chances. So far, we can only say that the crisis in Barcelona continues and this game is another confirmation of that.

As much as I hate to say, Barca deserved to lose today, Athletic were better. We barely created something dangerous in this game. It's very disappointing lose because Copa del Rey was only tournament this season for us where we were able to achieve something.
But most sad thing is Fati and Pedri injuries. Not agains, these players are made from glass. And I'm amazed about Dani Alves physical condition. He definitely don't look like 38 year old grandpa.

[tulusikhlas]

2 Spanish giants experienced different results in this match. Real Madrid continues to show its spurs, while Barcelona has not been able to get out of its poor form. Real Madrid do have a winning mentality, after conceding 1 goal they were able to comeback with 2 goals. Meanwhile, Barcelona even though they could equalize to 2-2, but soon they had to concede with Muniain's goal through the penalty spot in 2x15 minutes.

It's a shame that Barcelona had to lift the suitcase from the Copa Del Rey which was their hope to bring the trophy this season. Indeed, Barcelona does not play like Barcelona before, where every game they always dominate. I hope they get out of this situation quickly, so they can get back into the fight for the title.

Now everything is answered and Barcelona will accept this harsh reality and reflect on it for the rest of the season. They failed miserably and they couldn't do anything about the many games they played, of course I feel it's not the Barcelona I've been supporting all this time but I have to say something which although disappointing in the end I couldn't escape.

They had a good game, but weren't too eager to win it. As if not having the privilege of winning their only title this season, it's Barcelona now losing their way with their young players. Bilbao deserved to win and challenge Real Madrid in the final. They have a strong vision to win and I can see it from how excited the players and their coach are during the match.

A match that kept me from standing up. Normal time madrid can't even score. Even I was amazed by the fighting power of the madrid players earlier. With ten players they were able to score two goals. Even Madrid continue to be made difficult to make goals in normal time. They had the ball but Elche understood to handle it. Isco and Hazard will probably be better after scoring the decisive goal in this match. In fact they become players who have an unstable performance so rarely become a starter by Anceloti.

I don't think Mbappe and Haaland can be included in the Real Madrid squad at the same time. They will now demand a lot of money. Because they are in the forefront among the young talented players.

It is possible but still challenging before the pandemic but after the pandemic outbreak, we see how football clubs struggle with their finance and income. It has big impacts on their budget for transfers. I agree with you that it is very impossible for Real Madrid to buy both Haaland and Mbappe in a same transfer. Anyway, think of a free transfer of Mbappe in next summer, it becomes a little bit more possible.
Another challenge is salary allocation for Mbappe and Haaland will be very big.

Mbappe will not be interested in joining Real Madrid if Real Madrid sign Haaland. He wants to be a star player. At the same time he wants to be the most valuable and essential player of the team. If Haaland and Mbappe were on the same team, they would both want to score, one would be ahead of the other. Want to score goal alone without giving pass to other. Which will not be good for the team. After Messi went to PSG, we saw such gameplay of Mbappe in a few matches.

My guess is that Real Madrid will be interested in signing Haaland. Mabppe has not yet made a decision on leaving PSG. He will probably play with Messi for a while more. Moreover, Haaland seems more suitable to me for Real Madrid. If Haaland and Vinicius are on the offensive, they will destroy any defense.Let's see how the management of Real Madrid decides.

PSG bet that they can convince Mbappe to sign a new contract in the summer. They also bet that they can win Champions League with Mbappe and Messi as core players in this ambitious plan. If they fail, Mbappe will leave I believe so. If they win Champions League, we will see how PSG convince him in the end of this summer.

PSG is ready to give a lot of wages to Mbappe. Maybe management will be able to persuade Mbappe if PSG do well in the Champions League this season. If PSG can't play well in the Champions League, Mbappe will look for a better team.

Not only Mbappe but Haaland also have the same view of each other, they are not interested in playing in one club because of Madrid's desire to bring in Haaland and Mbappe at once, this actually makes Madrid's chances disappear to be able to get both players at once. Madrid should be more focused on choosing between Mbappe and Haaland as their options next season, but Mbappe is much more realistic because of his status as a free agent next season.

I won't say I was impressed with Real Madrid also, how they played in the first half and second half wasn't bad,bit then they failed to secure and score a goal in either of the half's.
Elche scoring first also was embarrassing, they fought hard to show how ready they was to proceed unto the next round.comgratulations to them
Ended Hazard and Isco for the goals., Hazard doesn't look happy, I think he does wants a move somewhere else.

It was a thrilling game, and it was a 10-men comeback of epic proportions.
A masterclass performance by Hazard. Blue jerseys are definitely his favorite. Hazard can score every single time if Madrid changes their home kit to blue. The winning goal by Eden Hazard makes the match even more beautiful. Real Madrid reached the Copa del Rey quarterfinals thanks to Isco and Hazard.

An enjoyable match we got a chance to enjoy. Real Madrid were the favorites in this match. However, Elche's performance was impressive. They did not allow Real Madrid to score any goal in the 90th minute. Elche also scored the first goal of the match in 103 minutes. After conceding a goal, Real Madrid launched a more destructive attack, with Isco scoring in the 108th minute and Hazard scoring in the 115th minute to give Real Madrid the win.

For them maybe it is still a good result but for me, Madrid's result is not good at all and it is a bad result. I am aware, initially Madrid only played second-tier players who were also an experiment for them which was certainly good to increase their morale. But sadly, they couldn't make the win with 90 minutes of normal time, it ruined my bet because of Madrid. In fact, if Ancelotti can play the main players first and after taking the lead, Ancelotti can replace their main players with second-tier players then I think it will be better to play only in normal time without having to spend a lot of energy on players in extra time.

Maybe you are right. But if you enjoy the match to the fullest, you will see that Elche has played quite defensively. And their goal was not to let Real Madrid score. And they have succeeded. They did not allow Real Madrid to score in the 90th minute. Both teams attacked in extra time. So Real Madrid's players have a chance to score. However, the coach should have kept Benzema in the team. Real Madrid could have won the match in 90 minutes if they had looked at the Benzema squad, because he is experenced.

Barcelona out of the Copa del Rey after suffering a defeat in the extra time from Atletic Club.They tried hard though as even they got in disadvantage in the 86th minute they were not demoralized and equalized in the last minute of added time in the second half.That brought to extra time where still Barcelona tried hard and was attacking but this was a double edged sword as their defense was left unprepared when Atletic got back in attack and scored.One of the big names in Spain out of the Copa del Rey although it is not as big now as they are trying to recover financially.
