La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Silence Scream]

We have to admit it was an unlucky UCL adventure for Barcelona.  We must not forget that they are ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga.  Real Madrid are surprisingly losing some points, but Barcelona seems to have held on better.  Even though I like Real Madrid's squad quality more, I want Barcelona to win.  I've been a fan of them since the time of Ronaldinho.

It will be a long battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, we still have El Clasico and maybe it will be the next decider for them. Real Madrid made an unnecessary mistake when it came to dropping points from a team they weren't really on their level. But that's how football goes, nothing is certain even though the difference in quality between the two teams is huge. But Barcelona also doesn't mean as smooth as one might imagine because they also have several shortcomings, it's not impossible that they will still drop points.

Certainly.  This is football man.  Each team will lose points.  Last year, there was Real Madrid, which lost to the last team of the league.  There was a Barcelona that recovered later in the league and smashed Real Madrid in El Classico.  It is difficult to predict what will happen in the other El Classico among them.  Both teams are among the best in the world.  This is a marathon race man, not a 100m run.  In the marathon race, the one who is durable wins.  Whoever has the endurance in the La Liga marathon will win.

Nkunku linked to real madrid as well as chelsea who become leading the race for the player , real madrid were too arrogant saying that with benzema they think it's enough and here they are ... struggling to find a good backup for him and the time is very tight .

Luckily there is a world cup and they could watch the rising star from this and get a contact immediately after the competition ended.

Christopher Nkunku does have a young age with a myriad of achievements that he managed to get with the history of goals he has, so Real Madrid might consider him to enter his team, while Chelsea might also win over this player but I'm sure Chelsea will try to see other attackers and they also have to think about their defense which is still quite weak and easily penetrated by opponents.

Real Madrid is not arrogant, they are the best team in the world and as such should be mindful of players they sign. Benzema is in his apex and he will play very well for atleast 2 to 3 seasons and the young guys in Madrid like Rodrygo and Valverde are doing well and can fit in for Benzema till Real Madrid get a good signing and I prefer a natural 9 player like Victor Osimen to Nkunku

[Razmirraz]

Karim Benzema can no longer perform the duty of an active striker any longer, he's injured again in training which will make him be absent from the world cup, Deschamps have dropped him off his squad and might not look for a replacement for him. Benzema is not consistent this season with going and returning to injury, more sitting at home holidays for the frenchman which will watch from entire tournament from home receiving treatment.

As is known, Karim Benzema is now getting old and frequently experiencing injuries, making Real Madrid need to find an ideal replacement to continue Benzema's duties as a goalscorer in attack.
Benzema's injury is clearly a concern for Real Madrid, who are struggling to regain first place from Barcelona. Some time ago, Benzema also suffered an injury which kept him out of several matches. As long as Benzema was not in the main squad, Real Madrid's strikers had trouble scoring goals which made them lose five points in two matches when they drew against Girona and were defeated by Rayo Vallecano.

Benzema was once also not the best striker of Real Madrid and did not always have a place in the first team, but now he is one of the most important players in the team. Real Madrid knows how to make real stars with players, for this they have all the conditions, so you should not worry that Benzema will have to leave the team sometime. Not so long ago, Raul was a Real Madrid striker without whom it was difficult to imagine a team, but time passed and everyone began to forget about him...

Benzema had many bad times with real Madrid with all the critism from the fans but he is a determined player and he continue doing his dutty, this is a very good example for other players who experience the Same situation with their clubs, no one thought benzema can win the ballon dor

A bit difficult to predict which striker that will be taken by real madrid. As far as i know chelsea has been signing pre contract for him but you said that if real madrid was also interesting with him. I though that real madrid has been deciding to go to the osimhen rather than nkuku. It's not arrogant but that's reality. It has been so many years since benzema has the only pure striker in real madrid. I guess real madrid is likely to be more interested with osimhen rather than nkuku.
I will be waiting what striker that will be chosen by real madrid. This gonna give a good surprise.

Surely this is a bit difficult for the Real Madrid management, but they already have few players under their radar, but we have to watch who is going to replace as soon as possible because few weeks back we have rumour Gabriel Jesus is also under Carlos Ancelotti radar for the possible replacement of injury porn Karim Benzema and now this new Nkunku which is at his best for RB Leipzig in this season can join the race with third one is from Italian side Napoli Osimhen even right now nothing is official, so we have to wait for the response of Carlos Ancelotti what he thinks about this all but right now these are possible replacements with most chances Nkunku and Gabriel Jesus both are hot favourite if their clubs allow them to go Real Madrid.

Benzema has achieved everything in his old age and he has been an important player for Real Madrid this season and the previous season. This season even benzema seems to have lost his best form because he an injury that happened to him even in this world cup benzema doesn't seem like he will play because of a thigh injury. with the contract with real madrid ending in 2023 I think ancelotti will be more interested in finding other players to fill the gaps on the front lines because benzema has started to show a decline in performance due to frequent injuries. this will be a sharp turning point for benzema career because last season he was so impressive with real madrid but this season he has to rest a lot.

It was thanks to the hard work of a Benzema that brought him to his best game with the El Real squad. Without his efforts and hard work he would not be the player we know him today, and he also has the full support of the coaching staff and his teammates. I remember when he had a tough season and it was very difficult to score goals, a lot of Real Madrid fans criticized him. At one moment Ronaldo gave Benzema an opportunity to score from the penalty spot, whereas at that time if Ronaldo wanted he could have scored a hat trick, but he preferred to give the opportunity to Benzema.

I would say Ancelotti should keep Benzema out of his match tactics this season. And finding a suitable replacement for Benzema. Because Benzema is old enough now. And it is only natural that he will now face minor injuries. Benzema should not expect great performances like in previous seasons. At the same time, the dependence on Benzema should be reduced. Ancelotti now has to develop a new match strategy.

Don Carlo has built a young squad since the start of this season. and they also tried to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu  it's just that, Madrid failed to get Mbappe who was predicted to be a potential replacement for Benzema later. automatically, Don Carlo maximizes the available players. after all they have several front line players, although young but very talented.

It cannot be denied, Benzema is currently more prone to injury. Of course, Real Madrid have been thinking about measures to anticipate him looking for a suitable replacement for the centre-forward. and several names have become targets that are included in the list in the upcoming January transfer market. for now, Madrid will still rely on Benzema and it is hoped that he will be able to give his best for the team.

despite the absence of Benzema, Don Carlo did not run out of ammunition. Ancelotti rotated his players, making Rodrigo a center forward and the results were quite satisfactory.even so, let's wait in the January transfer window, which players will be brought by Real Madrid to the Sanriago Bernabeu.

[terrorJR]

This is indeed a loss but in this case the French side also cannot blame anyone in this matter. He has now suffered a rectus femoral injury which means he will be out of action for three weeks to a month meaning he will be no problem for Madrid but this should be of more concern as this is the second time Benzema has been injured this season.

And it is only natural that he will now face minor injuries. Benzema should not expect great performances like in previous seasons. At the same time, the dependence on Benzema should be reduced. Ancelotti now has to develop a new match strategy.

I think too much rush for that.
Even though Benzema's current condition is still always having problems with his feet but keeping Benzema away from Madrid at this time is clearly a mistake. Benzema is still one of the players who is still contributing to this day and we also already know when Benzema doesn't have the productivity of Madrid's goal, so it's impossible for Ancelotti to do this.

I wonder what will happen to real madrid without Benzema. Real Madrid already have good players but without Benzema in the team, it  won't be too strong to perform well. Benzema is the reason why Real Madrid have good numbers of goals in laliga. Maybe where their is no Benzema their will be another option.

I am not so sure about that. Yes he won the ballon d'or and played amazingly last year, but so far this year he has been either lackluster when he played, or he was injured for the rest of the period as well. Many believed he just acted as if he was injured to rest until World Cup so he can play better there, but turns out he was still injured even for that too and missing World Cup as well.

So, I do not think that it really matters, dude is just missing now. So even though he is good, he is too old and constantly injured and he should not be considered as a viable option anymore. Trying to find an alternative to him is not a bad decision and should be considered as important.

[KTChampions]

According to Transfermarkt, Benzema is expected to return on December 12. Maybe he will miss many matches with France but he can at least be ready to play for Real Madrid later on. He is still very important for the team to be more successful. They need his contribution in the La Liga to fight harder against Barcelona for the league title. Benzema's score contribution has played a big role for Real Madrid for a long time.

I assume that Real Madrid won't be in search of a striker in January as Benzema is coming back. Otherwise they might have bigger problems in the Champions League as well.

The problem is that fully returning to the season is more difficult than just curing an injury. Plus, Benzema has had a problem this whole season so far. Against this background, there are some crazy rumors like the return of Ronaldo to Real Madrid - I think this is pure fantasy. But now I see that Real have difficulties ahead and given that their next opponent in the Champions League is quite strong, I do not know how they will get out of this situation.

Carlo Ancelotti has succeeded in making young players develop more than ever, he has incorporated players from different generations into his squad which made Real Madrid so successful last season. Benzema, Modric and Kroos are senior players who have always been in the Real Madrid squad, their experience has helped improve the abilities of young players.
They are not young anymore, Real Madrid must prepare players to fill the position they will be leaving.

The position of the striker is a serious concern, Real Madrid must immediately find a suitable replacement for Benzema. Last season Real Madrid tried to bring in Mbappe and Haaland, but these two players failed to land at the Bernabeu.
Madrid must move quickly to find a replacement for Benzema, especially since Benzema is very vulnerable to injury. Now that Osimhen is a target for Madrid, we'll have to wait for this drama in the January transfer market to see how far Madrid efforts to bring in Osimhen will go.

To be honest, when I heard the news that Benzema was dropped from the French team that competed in the World Cup, it made me a little surprised, because I support France and am very aware that France needs a great figure and a single attacker like him. I hope Benzema recovers quickly so he can help Madrid face Valladolid later.

Benzema is a great player for France,  i never expected him not to participate in the world.  Their are lots of players that won't be participating in the world cup. I just hope that Benzema issues should not be long so that he can play for Real Madrid after the world cup game.

I also hope so, Benzema is a big hope for Madrid, just look at when Benzema doesn't play, Madrid's attack immediately decreases.  What I'm worried about right now is that France's offensive power in world cup is dropping when Benzema isn't there.

But now I see that Real have difficulties ahead and given that their next opponent in the Champions League is quite strong, I do not know how they will get out of this situation.

Karim Benzema have been a very influential figure in the Real Madrid team. It is very true that the team has some talented young players that can be very effective in the attacks. But the absence of Benzama is always felt in the team because he is an outstanding positioner and classic finisher. His experience has been instrumental to the success of Real Madrid. I expected Real Madrid to bring in a striker that would would serve as a backup to Benzema but the club recently announced that they are not signing any new striker because they have confidence in the ability of Benzema. And they are solidly behind him until he recovers.

[Pulsar77]

I have also heard about the rumours like Ronaldo might come back to Real Madrid for 6 months. It is because of Benzema's ongoing injury of course. However as far as I know Benzema is returning in a few weeks finally. If he really returns in this time period then I don't think Real Madrid would even think about making an offer for Ronaldo. Because they won't be in need of a striker anymore. Benzema would enter the starting eleven right away and his substitute would be Rodrygo.

I know Rodrygo is a right winger normally. But he has played as a centre-forward more than the number of matches as a right winger in this season. There is Mariano also but I assume that he would be released by the team as his contract expires in the summer as well.

Injury is an obstacle that cannot be avoided by all football players and Benzema himself is also undergoing a period of recovering from his leg so he can return to competing in La Liga. Injury is a very natural thing to happen because it doesn't only happen to Benzema in football and for now it's true that Real Madrid still really needs Benzema to maintain their good performance in La Liga until the end of the season.

Nothing will happen for sure. Benzema has become the golden asset by real madrid and remember if he was become even older. Madrid must have gotten a replacement for him before he will retire from playing football. Madrid has proven if it can win the match without him but he was making the club even perfect caused by he was a pure striker that has always made golden chance for the club to win the match easily. It has proven from so many titles that already won by real madrid with him.
The most difficult thing to find a good player to replace him in real madrid. This may take a long time and remember if it's not any transfer will always be successful.

Benzema was injured when France was doing training ahead of its first match at the world cup, reportedly Benzema had to be absent for a month and this would automatically be detrimental to France which will face Australia, what you say is true if injuries are commonplace for football players but I think what Benzema is experiencing is of course bad news because Benzema has been Madrid mainstay so far, maybe it wouldn't be too worrying if the injury occurred when Benzema was still young but now Benzema has entered the age of 34 and at his current age injury is something which is scary because normally it would be difficult for a person to fully recover.
