La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Lordhermes]

He currently in the first favourite to win this award and second favourite there was a name Sadio Mane but most of people support him to get this award and there were big names who support him too such as Zidane and Messi actually i do not know how to calculate the nomination to get this award but his achievement during last season was very fantastic with 44 goals in all competitions so although he hasn't give good contribution for his national team but in my view he deserved to get Ballon d'Or 2022

It is true that in this case Benzema is clearly one of the favorites now.
La Liga's Top Scorer and his trophy and Champions League's Top Scorer and Trophy are not something that is usually taken lightly, therefore it is not wrong that he is a strong candidate now.
It would be very strange if this year he failed to get the Ballon d'Or especially there are already some legendary players who have expressed their opinion that they feel it is certain that Benzema will get the Ballon d'Or.

So finally Benzema will be awarded the Ballon d'or  for the wonderful play he displayed last  season,he has really worked hard last season to win all the trophies he won,he has been phenomenal to his team,scoring the major goals that led them to the tittle they won.Rewarding him with the Ballon d'or is the only thing Fifa can do to compensate him.I believe with you that he is the strong favourite for the tittle.

No hates here, Karim Benzema deserves the Ballon d'or award, you need not stress it nor galvanized it with word's... It's visible for any everyone. French are responsible for giving this award, in terms of this award it should be Karim, but last year's award shouldn't have been given to Messi, as that was a bit biased all because Lionel Messi moved to the French League ( Paris saint Germany ).
Benzema's contribution both in the Spanish La Liga and Champions League sets him above any other player.

But at least Benzema will compete with his former partner, Cristiano Ronaldo. There are even names like, Lionel Messi, and Robert Lewandowski. Despite Real Madrid's achievements this season, the question is whether Benzema is better than the three stars above?
I predict it might be difficult for Benzema to be number 1 to win the Ballon d'Or title previously held by Lionel Messi, but maybe consider 2 or 3 positions.

A very interesting thought and question is how it would have gone if they had fired Koeman from Barcelona much earlier and Xavi had been appointed earlier. I think Koeman would never have managed to finish 2nd with Barcelona under these circumstances. Barcelona was in deep trouble. But some players are in danger of running away. Barcelona obviously has to work on its financial problems, but if you lose all your star players, it will take years to build a good team. So far, Frenkie de Jong is still there.

If Koeman was not sacked their would be no hope for Barcelona to even come our with a better position,  I didn't expect Barcelona to end up with the 2nd position even when xavi took over as the coach,  I was thinking Barcelona would not be able to turn things around.  Barcelona in the hands of xavi will do something great next season.

An appreciation must be given to this former Barcelona player and now serves as this coach. Where he brought a team that was in a very bad situation to a better situation. Although he didn't have much time, he was able to make a change which in my opinion was quite significant. He was able to stabilize the game amidst their chaos at the time.

Basically Barcelona have been wrong from the start when choosing Koeman as coach, so if at that time sack him sooner and make Xavi as coach at least it can make Barcelona recover faster. Because Koeman's dismissal was very late, it was too late for Barcelona to bounce back, because now we know the good results after Xavi became coach, so we can assume that if Xavi became a coach sooner, Barcelona would be quicker to recover.

If xavi was to be the coach to Barcelona beginning of when the started Barcelona would have been dragging position with Real Madrid and they would have been a big threat to Real madrid.  As it stands now next season Barcelona will be the only team in laliga that can confront Real Madrid.

Better a little late than never. It may be true that Barcelona were wrong in appointing a coach, but they managed to correct that by appointing Xavi as Koeman's replacement. This was not what they expected, where Koeman instead made this club a mess and had to be eliminated from the Champions League zone before Xavi arrived.

they are different players, you cannot pay them this way
they also have different characters, CR7 does not have the same character as Messi and therefore the people you have to put next to him are different

let's say that managing the champions is not easy, look at what Messi is doing in PSG .. nothing or almost nothing, because he does not feel at ease in my opinion

[TopT3ns]

So finally Benzema will be awarded the Ballon d'or  for the wonderful play he displayed last  season,he has really worked hard last season to win all the trophies he won,he has been phenomenal to his team,scoring the major goals that led them to the tittle they won.Rewarding him with the Ballon d'or is the only thing Fifa can do to compensate him.I believe with you that he is the strong favourite for the tittle.

as you know that benzema was the top scorer in last season and could beat many other professional players such as Robert Lewandowski which I saw the difference was only 2 goals were scored so Benzema remains the one who scored the most goals, with an assessment like this it is already Surely a team with an attacking status will have the opportunity to be the best against beating Benzema, only they need good teamwork with other teams so that goals will be created easily.

I think it's natural for Barcelona to choose the wrong coach, because other big teams often choose the wrong coach. The most important thing now is
that Barcelona already has Xavi as a coach, and it is proven that Xavi can lift Barcelona's performance for the better. So as you said it is better late to
make Xavi a coach than never. Actually Ronald Koeman is not a bad coach, it is proven that he has won many trophies while coaching in the Eredivisie.
Even when he was coach of Southampton, Koeman was awarded the EPL best manager 3 times. But it seems that Koeman is not suitable to
coach Barcelona, maybe Koeman will be successful if he becomes a coach in the Eredivisie again.

Xavi have done a big jot for the catalans this season after a lifting them from bottom of the laliga table to the second on the table. The Barca team needs a coach that knows how to manage the team, unlike the manager they hire, Ronald Koeman who didn't spent complete two sway in the club. Barcelona is a big team in the Spanish league and anyone in charge of handling the team will have some great potential because the the club is not just a random or inferior club. Where any one can be in charge of the club.

[Fesatmas]

I agree Benzema should be a candidate to win the Ballon d'Or because of his contribution with Madrid to win several titles at least 2 titles this season Laliga and UCL
But he didn't contribute to his country this year so his potential for the Ballon d'Or is low. Usually the player who wins the Ballon d'Or is the player who contributed to his team and country right?

I'm not too sure about that, it's just my opinion that Benzema is indeed the favorite for the Ballon d'Or this time. But as we can see that there is always something surprising, or players who are not actually included in our assessment instead he gets the award. I don't know why it happened, but if I had to choose I would choose Benzema for the award.

For Lewandowski and Ronaldo maybe still can but I still feel that Messi right now shouldn't be that much of a favourite. His performances can be said to be ordinary in the League and it is very biased if he can return to competing in a top position and a strong candidate.
At the moment I still feel that the strong rival is Lewandowski but maybe for the Ballon d'Or there will be more drama like last season.

If we just think about the performance from the last season, I think Karim Benzema is going to be the one leading. At least that will be the case if we compare Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi. I don’t think the performance of Lionel Messi was good at all in PSG.

Cristiano Ronaldo did perform really well but his team did not help him. As a result, it was a really bad performance from his team but the solo performance of Cristiano Ronaldo was good. And I don’t think there is anything good to say about Lionel Messi because he has not done anything really great worth mentioning in the last season. So, in my opinion, Karim Benzema has performed better if we think about the last season only.

[Agbe]

Well for no doubt everyone would agree that Kareem benzema has been a wonderful player for real Madrid this season. Being the highest goal scorer in the la Liga satander this season and also the uefa champions league highest goal scorer for no doubt benzema has really filled a huge gap left by the living legend cr7 in real Madrid, I would say this is his best season so far as a professional footballer and deserve nothing more than the ballon dio'r as an appreciation for his good play of football..but I just want to placed out previous spectacular footballers who did well in their league but a different football tournament performance entirely was used as reference for the ballon dio'r award... tournaments like the FIFA world cup to be played this year and the current Uefa nations...so I think Kareem really need to put in all his best in this tournament if he really wants that glamorous award for his name to be among one of the great football elites like Cr7,luka modric, Lionel Messi , Ronaldo,Ronaldinho, Kaka e.t.c

in recent years Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the Ballon d'Or but throughout the 2021 season these two players were not so good, it was Karim Benzema's performance which was extraordinary by being able to contribute greatly to the UCL champions that Real Madrid won.
It is true that the unexpected often happens in the Ballon d'Or election but I have no doubt that Benzema will win this year and some former footballers have said the same.

Overall I never considered him a bad coach but when the context relates to Barcelona there is no denying that he failed there.
Koeman is a pretty good coach but not in La Liga and Barcelona because indeed some of his decisions at Barcelona are considered controversial and this makes him even worse in the eyes of the fans. But for achievements outside of clubs other than Barcelona, he is clearly a good coach.

We are getting interesting news these days. Barcelona have submitted an offer for Lewandowski finally seemingly. However I wonder what Bayern Munich's answer to them is going to be. They must be looking for an alternative to fill his place on one hand. But they would still do their best not to lose Lewandowski this summer. He still has one more year left on his contract and Bayern Munich can even think of forcing him to stay. I wonder if it would backfire for them too but we will see. Barcelona must be feeling confident about convincing the player at least.

I think, Lewandowski will really help Barcelona to perform better in next season because Bayern Munich will not allow he to continue after his contract, than to bring more new talented players that will handle his position very well in next season. This is the best opportunity for Barcelona managements to arrange a huge amount of money to get Lewandowski because he has a good experience in achieving goals from any competition to make their fans happy. It will be a welcome development to Barcelona, if their managements will be able to sign in Lewandowski into the team.

For more than ten years, Ballon d'Or has been dominated by Messi and Ronaldo. We saw Modric winning the prize four years ago which was the only time a different player winning it in this time period. However considering the previous season, I think the most deserving players are Lewandowski and Benzema. I'm a little indecisive between them but I assume that I will vote for Benzema in this.    Because it was a great season he had with Real Madrid. They became even the champions in the Champions League too and Benzema played a huge role in this as well.

It is true that the unexpected often happens in the Ballon d'Or election but I have no doubt that Benzema will win this year and some former footballers have said the same.

Benzima had a total of 59 contributions in 46 games played with 44 goals and 15 assists in 46 games played. With goals in big games as well(Hat-trick against PSG coming back from a 1-0 loss to them). Sadio Mane, Vinicius Jr and Robert Lewandowski are other contenders but I don't think anyone has as impressive feat as Benzima. Who has been consistent throughout the year.

Usually the ones who wins Ballon d'Or is a player who has won beside the La Liga or the local Championship,also the Champions League and last time the Champions League was won by Real Madrid so most probably at a really high percentage rate the Ballon d'Or is going to Benzema.Lewandoski is a great player also scoring an insane number of goals but he lacks winning a major trophy this year beside Bundesliga so his candidature has something missing.It can happen anything at the voting but usually has happened that the player with most trophies won has also won this event.

I predict it might be difficult for Benzema to be number 1 to win the Ballon d'Or title previously held by Lionel Messi, but maybe consider 2 or 3 positions.

Karim Benzema has successfully carved a series of sweet achievements with Real Madrid throughout the 2021-2022 season. The 2021-2022 Champions League title further confirms that Benzema deserves to win the Ballon d'Or, after previously successfully lifting the La Liga title trophy and also the Spanish Super Cup. Benzema Not only made achievements with the club, he also has a good record individually, He also achieved the status of top scorer in La Liga. Benzema is at the top of La Liga list of top scorers after registering 27 goals and 12 assists in 32 appearances.  Benzema also often scored goals in crucial moments which finally brought Madrid to victory.
If you look at Benzema achievements last season, he is much better than Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonel Messi and Robert Lewandowski.
