La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Perhaps Robert is not a player who adapts very quickly. But I'm sure it won't take him very long, the first two games, or even one will be uncomfortable for him, but I think before the season in training he can already feel at ease, so I'm not worried about his game. He is a very talented player despite his age, it will be a very good acquisition for Barcelona

It shouldn't take long especially with Lewandowski. Btw but before going to the adaptation issue they now need to increase the price in their proposal to attract attention from Bayern's side because indeed the transfer issue is still uncertain right now why bother about adaptation issues not necessarily he will be in Barcelona too if they don't raise the price for the clause Lewandowski.

About him having to get used to his new style of play at Barcelona I'm a bit dubious. It will take a maximum of two games, especially in the first game he can show his level. More likely, if he gets signed he will understand the style of play already in pre-season training, has time to get acquainted with the team and so on.

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.

If Benzema wins this year's Ballon d'Or then I believe it is a very fair result considering the achievements he made with Real Madrid last season. He helped Real Madrid win the Laliga title and Champions League and he is also the top scorer in Laliga. Benzema's stats are still better in my opinion, so I have to agree that he is the winner. I don't expect the winner to not be Benzema, if it was another player then I think it would be a big surprise.

I think it's time for Messi and Ronaldo to be out of the best candidates for the Ballon d'Or, they are no longer favourites. They've both proved it in previous years, but now it's time for another player.

CR7 and Lionel Messi had a poor season. I believe this is Benzema time. He has put in enough work in recent seasons. His performances have been great and exceeding expectations and his contribution has also been excellent. I believe winning this year's ballon d'or will be a fair result judging by his personal achievements scoring the most goals in the league and in the champions league as well and his team Real Madrid won the Uefa champions league trophy this year.

Every great player have their time to reign. Messi and Ronaldo are great players that has been reigning over a decade,  I think right now their age is telling on them. I think this is the time for Benzema to reign and other young talented players that are coming up. This is just a phase of football for Messi and Ronaldo    that they won't show much activeness in their club.

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.

Koeman did alright when he was there, the point is that he is not the coach that would have a good system with Barcelona, that's the problem. I mean think about it this way, if there is a better team than Barcelona and you could manage it better, but you would fail to manage Barcelona, that is not because you are a bad manager, that is because you are not a good fit, that's all.

And I believe that Xavi is a great fit, he is the "son of Barcelona" type of manager and he will do his best to lift that team higher. This doesn't make Koeman bad, it just makes him not fit for Barcelona, he could still manage another team and be great there. For example PSG could get him if they fail to get zidane? That could work.

[W Jr.]

Barcelona got a very good win, but they need to sign very good players next year. It was a great season for Real Madrid and they had a serious economic income in all lanes. For Barcelona, ​​it has not been a very good season economically. Therefore, they should make more logical and on-site transfers. I am sure that next year will be a very competitive year between Barcelona and Real.

Yes, their success in recruiting players will greatly affect their game next season. Because if only one thing does not meet expectations, I think it will also be felt, especially in their current financial condition, which must be smart to accommodate their expenses.
Xavi Hernandez in his first season managed to build the Blaugrana out of adversity. Hopefully that success will increase even more.

I have no doubt that it will increase success even more. I think there will be a fierce championship fight between Real Madrid and Barcelona this year. I'm sure right now Xavi is working through various squad football configurations for a stronger Barcelona.

[SatoPrincess]

Karim Benzemas statistics last season are unmatched, he has being on fire for some seasons now scoring magnificent goals and showing consistency in the league and the champions league and I'm sure his performance for Real madrid last season will not be forgotten. He is so far the world's best striker and has proven everyone wrong after many years of criticism. He deserves to win the ballon D'or, if it were in my power he would have recieved it already.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

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.

When Messi left Barcelona and when Ronaldo left Real Madrid, an opportunity arose for other players. If these two star players had not left their team, there would be no opportunity for other players. But this year, Benzema definitely deserved the Ballon d'Or. I agree with you. There may not be a better candidate than him.

Very true. Benzema was in Ronaldo’s shadow in Real Madrid and would have remained hidden if Ronaldo had not left. Karim Benzema was an underrated player in Madrid when Ronaldo was still at the club, everyone was focused on Ronaldo and rest of the players were only supposed to help Ronaldo get the goals. The same was with Messi in Barcelona, after his departure from the club, Barcelona FC struggled to adjust to the game without Messi.

I think this is the time for Benzema to reign and other young talented players that are coming up. This is just a phase of football for Messi and Ronaldo    that they won't show much activeness in their club.

Yes, it is a matter of time. Although both players are soccer superstars, over time there will be regeneration. Maybe there is no one who can match them or like them at this time, but at least there are many potential players who do have very good potential. Even though both Ronaldo and Messi at this time can still contribute well, it's not like it used to be. Moreover, they are in a different club from when they were on the rise. But about Benzema, he is also no longer young. He is 34 years old right now and not a young player anymore. But his contribution to real Madrid is exactly still very influencing. That is why Real Madrid also should prepare a young player as the second lineup of Benzema later.

[Lordhermes]

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.

Definitely,Benzema deserves the award,he did what other players could not do,he helped his team win two tittles,the Lalliga and the Champions league which is the most important tittle.Then personally,he won the highest goal scorer,so with all these things,Atleast he has gotten to that point that other players like Messi and Ronaldo got to before winning the tittle. Therefore,I have the believe that he will be nominated ahead of Lewa.

Benzema just have not a huge media highlight as great as cristiano and messi , among casual football fan .. benzema might be just an ordinary player ... but among die hard footbal fans , everyone knows that benzema are the one need to get respect and awarded kind of ballon d'or thing.

Lewandowski achieve nothing but a very stable performance in the last 3 seasons , we'll see what consideration needed to get the ballon d'or.

[Rengga Jati]

I think Benzema should be the player above everyone else. he was on fire in the last season. Robert Lewandowski also played well but he has a better team and he also does not face so much petition as Real Madrid does in the La Liga.

Benzema has a very high contribution to Real Madrid, no offense, but Benzema is really the best player right now. His contribution moreover in the very ate play game time also really shows who he is, the champion mentality. However, he is also supported great players all in the squad. We know that football is a unity of players, not only one. That is why Benzema and all squads really have their high contributuion.
I ehard about one of the reasons why Lewandowski willing to move to Barcelona is to prove that he is better than Benzema. Let's see it

Yes, it's all over the news, at least in the Spanish news. Apparently this is what his agent said in an interview on Cadena Ser Radio.

In 1vs1 they do a comparison between the two players and they conclude that: 'Given all statistical values we believe that Robert Lewandowski is the better player at the moment.' This is debatable, but they make a detailed analysis.

We'll also have to see how Lewandowski performs in the next league.

Lol
Reading this made me smile.
To prove who is better does not need to be like that. Examples that have happened to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Initially they competed to prove who was the best in two different leagues. Cristiano in England with Manchester United and Lionel Messi in Spain with Barcelona.

Benzema and Lewandowski, Both are currently players who contribute greatly to the club. But unfortunately, the greatness of these two players was covered by the sparkle of Messi and Ronaldo.

It shouldn't take long especially with Lewandowski. Btw but before going to the adaptation issue they now need to increase the price in their proposal to attract attention from Bayern's side because indeed the transfer issue is still uncertain right now why bother about adaptation issues not necessarily he will be in Barcelona too if they don't raise the price for the clause Lewandowski.

About him having to get used to his new style of play at Barcelona I'm a bit dubious. It will take a maximum of two games, especially in the first game he can show his level. More likely, if he gets signed he will understand the style of play already in pre-season training, has time to get acquainted with the team and so on.

Xavi's style of play is not much different from what Robert Lewandowski learned when Pep Guardiola was at the helm of Bayern Munich, I think it didn't take him long to adapt to the style that Xavi adopted. Although Lewandowski's transfer process is quite complicated, it seems that Barcelona are very serious about signing him. Barcelona are trying to carry out final negotiations with Bayern Munich for Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona will try to raise the final offer of around €40 million.

I really whish lewandowski will play for barcelona the next season, the team really in need for player like him in this catastrophic situation and they are doing serious efforts to make this happen, lewandowski can change many things in Barcelona and lead the way to their come back

I don't think Lewandowski would want to go to Spain to compete with Benzema. In my opinion, Lewandowski wants to wear the Barcelona jersey, which has been one of his dreams since the legendary Barcelona times I attribute this to the fact that Lewandowski, a quality football player who will play in all of the world's biggest leagues such as the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, chose Barcelona.

Very true. Benzema was in Ronaldo’s shadow in Real Madrid and would have remained hidden if Ronaldo had not left. Karim Benzema was an underrated player in Madrid when Ronaldo was still at the club, everyone was focused on Ronaldo and rest of the players were only supposed to help Ronaldo get the goals. The same was with Messi in Barcelona, after his departure from the club, Barcelona FC struggled to adjust to the game without Messi.

When  Real Madrid still have Cristiano Ronaldo never have chance for Karim Benzema show his potential and always become Ronaldo's shadow, but after several years Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid not worry for Madrid fans because Benzema show as best central forward and always consistent scoring goal and created assist. Exactly true when Real Madrid still have Cristiano Ronaldo all player focused how to give assist and have destination only Cristiano Ronaldo could scored goal. But right now all player on Real Madrid have chance for scoring goals and most active Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr are player have consistent performance with Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo was a goal machine when he was at Real Madrid. That's why it's very normal for players to see him as their first choice. His departure from the team was very difficult for Real Madrid. Of course, Benzema had more chances after that, but Ronaldo was also contributing enough in his time. If Ronaldo came to Madrid again today, I think they would play the same way as Benzema.

Therefore, if there are rumors saying that Ronaldo will return to Real Madrid, it will not happen. In addition to Real Madrid now in the process of
regenerating their squad, Real Madrid are also aware that Ronaldo's presence will only be an obstacle for Benzema. Because since Real Madrid was
left by Ronaldo, it's a fact that Karim Benzema's performance continues to improve, and has now become a goal machine for Real Madrid. So for now
Real Madrid doesn't need a new striker, even if they want to sign a new striker, Real Madrid will not sign a striker to compete with Benzema.
But Real Madrid will be looking for a new striker to be prepared as a successor to Benzema, because Benzema's age is not young anymore, maybe he can
only play for two more seasons.

I am sure if he had waited he could have found a better team. At least he could have been in some genuine action. I really don't think this is a good decision taken by him. but I also agree that this is his choice.  and I think we also know that he is not going to be in the news as he was before. Actually, I am a little disappointed and I think a lot of people are watching this decision. we all have seen him play at the top level. we have seen him rise from nothing and being something. it is really sad to see his career ending in such a way .

His career is not ending, there are other goals that must be carved out by him, joining LAFC actually to strengthen his fitness to be ready for the world cup. If he can show all his talents at this event, possible that he will be offered by a top European club. Bale is a player also can be concluded is not too old for a career, July 16 he will be 33 years old. While we can see there are still many older players above him having a career at big clubs.

Surely he has few years left in his career as good player, and he can regain his best in coming days with having some good performance in world up and play in LAFC for one season. If he is able to perform in good way then surely we will expect good change for him in next season, and he could be in his desired team for next season, right now going to LAFC is good and positive change for him and his career.

After having some amazing seasons he achieves some good success but sadly in new Real Madrid setup he fails to take his place and now leaving his club just for having some better time in game which is not available in current team due to some good players already having his place.
