La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[nurilham]

They need a striker for sure as Benzema seems to be off for quite a while...and is really unfortunate for him during the fact that he had the best year of his career but could Real get in such a short time ? Ronaldo seems to be out of question so who's gonna be ? waiting for Mbappe in summer ? or maybe they scout a striker during this World Cup  . Until then , I'm sure Ancelotti will think of something if he won't get a striker in this winter.

If it is very urgent to get a striker, why don't to sign Ronaldo? Ronaldo still played very well and has good fitness. His age isn't a big matter, Real Madrid shouldn't sign him for many years. I heard a rumor that Ronaldo has made an offer to play with Real Madrid again, so the chance to sign him is more realistic than other strikers. As you said above, it is not easy to sign other strikers, especially if Real Madrid wants to sign Mbappe. Real Madrid may get nothing in the next transfer window if they only want to sign the top strikers (Mbappe, Osimhen, Martinez, Kane) that their current teams likely don't allow them to leave.

Real Madrid seem to be just as dependent on Benzema now as they were on Ronaldo. He has given Madrid the Cl 3 years in a row. Benzema was also very important last year with his goals in the CL. In the league, they can make it through a few games without Benzema, but he's hard to replace. The difference in level between Barcelona and Real Madrid compared to the rest of the teams is quite big. But Barcelona is the best on paper, I just don't know which of the 2 teams will make a mistake first. Real Madrid had a slightly worse period before the break was called in by the World Cup.

This season has not gone too well for Benzema and it is very regrettable even though last season he was one of the very good players I can even say phenomenal by successfully bringing in a lot of awards and even the Ballon d'Or was won but this season his legs are not too friendly and very fragile so that most of the half of this season must be lived with various treatments.

[Pokapoka124]

Benzema's left hip injury is still going on but it looks like he will be returning in only two weeks. This is really good news for Real Madrid while he is a big loss for France in the World Cup at the moment. Benzema will at least have enough time to reach a solid match condition until the La Liga matches are back. Real Madrid felt his absence in some matches that they lost points against weaker teams. They were still able to score goals of course but maybe he could have been a savior there.
Then this must mean that Real Madrid won't be in search of a striker in January yet. Because there have been speculations such as they would like to fill his place while he is injured. Even Ronaldo was at the centre of these speculations like Real Madrid would offer a deal worth six months.

Even if Benzema returns and continues to perform very effectively for Real Madrid I think Real Madrid should start looking for a striker from now on. I think that if they don't begin searching for a striker as soon as possible, they may actually find that it has already been too late. As a matter of fact, it would be far better for Real Madrid if they could bring in a striker and keep developing him while Karim Benzema is still playing for them. If anything, the worst case scenario will be that the player that they've been working with will probably not be able to play as well as they would like. But they will not have to look for a striker immediately when/if Benzema gets injured again.

Yeah you are absolutely right, Karim Benzema is aged now and it is already telling in his performance and proneness to injuries recently. I am sure this is a writing on the wall say saying to Real Madrid it is time to find a suitable replacement for Benzema which I believe will be given s much attention this January or in the summer window. Real madrid needs to replace Benzema and strengthen their attack this season.

It would be inaccurate to say that Karim Benzema's legs are very fragile even though he is currently injured and is undergoing his recovery period. Because he has also given good things and what is expected of Real Madrid and for the second half of this season, it cannot be concluded thoroughly before looking at the actual condition of Karim Benzema. Because after recovering from injury, Karim Benzema will return again to strengthen the Real Madrid line-up.

This season remarks a big change in Benzema career when his body started to get more problems with injuries. He already reaches to a best of his career with Ballon d'Or and personally he should feel happy and satisfy with that achievement. He also has won so many titles with Lyon and Real Madrid so in club career, he has a successful one too.

The only big regret for Benzema is a very limited chance to play in French team and it seems it is a big minus in his career. Nobody can be perfect and Benzema must to accept it too. This World Cup is very like a last chance for him in French team but he lost it too by an injury.

Real Madrid will have to be very ready for a near future without Benzema. This season of Benzema is like the past season for Sergio Ramos in PSG. He missed most of the past season but managed to come back strongly in this season. Will Benzema can return and contribute more for Los Blancos next season?

Real Madrid may get nothing in the next transfer window if they only want to sign the top strikers (Mbappe, Osimhen, Martinez, Kane) that their current teams likely don't allow them to leave.

It seems that there really aren't many other options, because at this World Cup the highest scorer so far is Mbappe, a player who previously rejected Real Madrid's offer. Or maybe there are other options that have not yet been made public, but I'm pretty sure Real Madrid will still be getting new players in the transfer window later.
But even so, I still think that Real Madrid is not lacking in great players from the midfield to the front, and I still believe they can still contribute well this season like Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior and also Rodrygo.

The problem is about how far Real Madrid can get good results for the title competition in La Lig and also in the Champions League, I think even though Real Madrid has new players it still doesn't fully guarantee for Real Madrid to get the expected results.
But yes, after all, of course it would be good for Real Madrid to have anticipation with reserve players who also have the desired quality, that way at least it will support Real Madrid's performance to remain good throughout this season.

Now looking for a new striker in the transfer market is an obligation for Real Madrid. I don't know Ancelotti's reasons for not looking for a new striker after this season he saw Benzema not as fit as last season. Real Madrid have had all the important competitions up to now so they can't just rely on Benzema, for me that's not good.

Rodrygo, Vinicius are good on wings, while Mariano Diaz who plays center forward looks unconvincing. So I think Ancelotti really has to look for a new striker to fill in for the injured Benzema halfway through the season.

The injuries that continue to befall Benzema show that Real Madrid really needs a new striker, especially since Benzema is already 34 years old so Real Madrid cannot rely on him for long-term plans. However, the puzzle of who will replace Benzema at Real Madrid has not been answered so far. The existence of Mariano Diaz in the Real Madrid squad cannot be relied on as a suitable replacement for Benzema. Diaz performance has not been able to satisfy Ancelotti so that he spends more time on the bench.
Real Madrid needs to move in the January transfer market to find a replacement for Benzema, Ancelotti really needs the presence of a striker who can be a differentiator in the squad to continue to chase Barcelona who are currently at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid performance is gradually decreasing since Benzema has injuries that made him not to function well like last season he demonstrated well through out the tournament without any injuries stop him. The way the tournament is going now, showed that Barcelona will take a lead after the break in this la Liga league table, because Barcelona players are doing well in this season compared to last season that made them to struggle to won some matches. I think, there is a great future ahead of Barcelona in this la Liga league season, which will be difficult for any teams to stop them not to achieve this season title.

It depends on how Xavi Hernandez maintains something they have built since last season. They have spent a lot of money to create the team we are seeing now, fortunately they can play well so they don't waste what they have spent in the last transfer market.
Real Madrid did struggle when Benzema couldn't play, which is a shame because they haven't found a replacement who can take Benzema's place.

Benzema injury is a warning to Real Madrid to start hunting for his replacement because no one can cheat age and the older he becomes the more injury prone he will be and the more it will stay long before the injury will heal.
Before the world cup will end, Benzema will be able to become fit to play again. And we all know that when he is fit, Real Madrid will likely win the match.
Barcelona also have some good opportunities to strike at any time because they have good players who can win matches.

Let's not focus so much on the financial limitation of Barcelona at this point but we should discuss how the club could work with what they have on the ground right now to make a good impact. But the management of the club have also done a lot of mid-calculations in the last transfer market by spending huge amount of money on small players.

I think that we can't leave from financial limitation. It's caused by so many rumours about barcelona will try to buy some new players. Barcelona has been planned to sell some. The current squad is not strong enough even it can't compete with intermilan in UCL which has proven if the barcelona's squad is only capable to win the la liga. Im not sure barcelona will able to win europa league. It's caused by in la liga consistency to win any game is a key unlike when you are playing in a competition that will kick you once you will be loosing against another team. There are so many critics for xavi caused by xavi has been giving barcelona the worst record. That's why barcelona can't spend lots of money again during the next transfer season.

I think even taking into account the injury of Benzema and his periodic absence, Real have enough strength to successfully go through the season in La Liga. The problem is in the Champions League where in the playoffs you can't show weakness in a couple of games and then "fix" it. But I don't see any upgrade options for the Champions League - all the top players have already played for other clubs this season and just because of the regulations even if they go to Real Madrid they won't be able to play for it. Apparently Real Madrid will end the season with the squad they have now.

Barcelona should focus on what they have right now for not being financially buoyant to sign in new players in the next transfer market. The only option Barcelona have is for every player to put up more energy to see  they their performance get better than the way it used to be.

Actually they have to play as well as possible from the start without having to wait for time for them to do so. They must do that every time so that the team they are defending also improves every time and minimizes the risk of declining performance for the team. It would be strange if they had to wait until the team's conditions weren't good for them to play well. Any money spent by Barcelona they have to pay with an overall satisfactory performance.

Benzema's injury will not prevent him from continuing to play well. after all, he only needed three weeks to recover from his injury and optimize his fitness. Real Madrid can still rely on Benzema, at least until the end of this season. even then, if Real Madrid already has a potential replacement for Benzema, whom they will bring in next January.

Don Carlo prefers to rotate Rodygo as a center forward, rather than playing Mariano Diaz. but lately, Real Madrid has been widely rumored to be hunting for several players to bring them to the Santiago Bernabeu in January. there are several names that are of concern to Madrid in the winter transfer window later. one of them is Victor Osimhen, there is also another name that has been widely contested by several big clubs, namely Endrick. Real Madrid too, reportedly eyeing the boy. so let's wait, what will Madrid do in this winter transfer window.

real madrid must have thought of that so madrid is reportedly targeting jude bellingham and also declan rice in next year's transfer market. the problem with real madrid right now is that their midfield is starting to weaken, so a potential midfielder is needed, but for the front line they still have time to entrust it to Vinicius jr, rodrygo and several other young attackers.

Barcelona have managed to improve their performance in La Liga despite being eliminated in the Champions League, Barcelona players have to fight to get what they have planned since the start of the season. The appearance of Barcelona's main players while defending their country at the World Cup gave little hope, they performed well with their country. Xavi will need to maintain their form when they return to Barcelona, good performance must be shown when playing to be able to achieve his goals.

Like it or not they have to look for these players in the winter transfer window, otherwise they will really miss the opportunity to get the players they really need. Ancelotti must realize that some of the players he has up front have not been able to completely replace Benzema. It will be difficult when you assume responsibility because most people will definitely have a standard of playing players like the players he replaces, in this case Benzema. It will be very difficult for them when they have to live up to the expectations of many people.
After the World Cup later, they have to hunt for quality players. The last transfer window they saved a lot of money by not bringing in many players, now should be the time for them to spend a nominal amount to find players.
