La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[TopT3ns]

Why do you believe the management of Madrid will not find a suitable replacement for Benzema? Have Madrid's management leaked it to the public at this point so you presume they can't get a replacement for Benzema any time soon?

Everyone admits that Benzema is a great player and fits perfectly with Real Madrid, and it's almost the same with Ronaldo in the past. But one thing that must be remembered is that the age of players who increase every year cannot be stopped or stopped and injuries that come for players who are often used are very natural and for that reason Real Madrid's management must be able to find a replacement for Benzema.

Age may only apply to some people because so far, if you look at Ronaldo's age, who is getting older, he still has very good performance, in contrast to Benema, who has often been injured and his performance has decreased. It is difficult to find players like Benzema, but if you want to look for young players with a very high performance, maybe Real Madird has already kept a list of names that will be purchased during the transfer market later.

I do not expect Real Madrid to make any big changes in this transfer market. I think they are preparing to wait until the next transfer window. And I honestly feel that in the next transfer window we can expect Real Madrid to make some really big moves. They are hoping to bring in a really capable striker. I think we all know that. And they are waiting for the right opportunity and also for the right choice. However, I wonder if the striker that they have available on the market right now might be a better option than what they will be able to get in the next transfer window.

This is the same statement Ancelloti was making in previous transfer window and I'm shocked to be reading such statements again this season. Although the team a some how balanced on most positions but not balanced all round they still need to strengthen some positions like their attacking position,Benzema  is prone to injuries now and need a suitable replacement or better say substitute player in times like this.

But I think it won't be very good if they keep delaying.
Benzema's condition has not been very good so far despite his good productivity but we know that his body is not very good. On the other hand, we also know that in Madrid right now, even though there are still a lot of them, players who do have great potential, especially for young players, but their instinct for scoring goals is a little lacking and when Benzema is not there, Madrid has a little trouble.
I think delaying to find out clearly is a little forced with the current conditions even though they are still confident but it wouldn't hurt to bring in new player options now.

If you want to perform well in football, you must have good fitness. Ronaldo is 37 years old, yet he is able to play consistently well due to his excellent fitness. On the other hand, Neymar is only 30 years old. Even then his fitness is not good. He is on the bench most of the year. Benzema's fitness is not bad, but injuries take a long time to recover from.

Real Madrid has long depended on Benzema's performances. Perhaps they are interested in signing a young striker. I think Madrid management won't waste money buying a striker if they can't find young players they like.

Madrid definitely need a new striker ASAP but the big problem is that no one will accept to stay in tge bench because i dont think the new striker will take benzema place since the player still doing very well, this will make real Madrid mission to bring a New striker a bit complicated but i think the administration will find a good solution as it always did

There is much more pressure on Barcelona than on Real Madrid. If Madrid don't become champions this year, no one will be upset about it. Madrid has achieved many great successes nationally and internationally in recent years, which have built up a substantial buffer for a few years. And are also still active in the CL. Barcelona should actually become champion, or at least win the cup. But the national championship is more highly regarded than the Copa del rey. At the moment it is equal between Barcelona and Madrid, but if 1 team falls out of shape, the backlog can quickly add up.

Exactly.The pressure is much on Barcelona than Real Madrid,that is why Xavi is trying everything possible to just make Barcelona a team that is is capable of winning their league and also winning the champions league,but I doubt if Barca has that squad depth that can win the champions now.They were knocked out from the champions league and they are back in the Europa league to compete for that particular tittle.
Where as,Madrid is still doing well,and even if they should loose matches,it won't really be a thing to worry about because of what they have achieved in the past years.

Dembele has made a big improvement since his new contract with Barcelona. He has always been criticized due to being very selfish. This was one of the reasons he couldn't show his talent very well in his previous contract times. But now he is more helpful for his teammates. His statistics in the La Liga can be shown as a proof for this actually - 4 goals and 5 assists. On the other hand I must admit that he is still having some selfish matches sometimes. It is like in his nature to try to do all the work from creating a goal opportunity to ending it.

But as long as he keeps this selfish behavior as low as possible he wouldn't have much problem with Xavi. Because Xavi is caring about the team effort very much. He doesn't want to see only one man trying to carry the match.

I have noticed some difference in Dembele's game this in the world cup, his passing stats and contributions show massive improvement and I must commend his efforts as well as the team's efforts in the world cup. I believe that his ability to create chances from time to time is been considered more in selecting him for competitions like this and it is actually paying off in the world cup.

Snip.

I believe that his ability to create chances from time to time is been considered more in selecting him for competitions like this and it is actually paying off in the world cup.

Dembele has answered all of his doubts well, his contribution to France in the world cup being a godsend for Barcelona. I also see that several Barcelona players have improved a lot during their time with their country in the world cup, Gavi, Pedri, Kounde and Ferran Torres have all made good contributions to their country. The elimination of Spain is also a blessing for Barcelona, its flagship players can return to training with other players who have not competed in the world cup. Xavi can do regular training to make his squad more compact to face the competition after the start of the League.

Certainly Ancelotti has targeted several strikers who have played so brilliantly in the world cup, apart from those two names, of course there will still be other options. Now is the right time to look for a replacement for benzema, considering that he is no longer young and it will be quite a hassle for Real Madrid if they have to force him to continue playing, this will definitely be a pretty difficult situation. But the loudest rumor is the joining of Cody Gakpo, who currently plays for the Dutch national team and plays for PSV. Even though the struggle for Gakpo is very difficult because so many elite teams in Europe are also hunting for this player, of course it will make Real Madrid even more at the forefront to get him in the January transfer market.

Considering Karim Benzema condition still questionable about can comeback after World Cup or not I think Real Madrid manager need find with new replacement for Benzema. Can't guarantee with Benzema can back early because he has absent many matches with Real Madrid before international break up due injured. I don't find with Real Madrid rumor interested to signing Cody Gakpo have brilliant performance with Netherland at World Cup, how ever Manchester United almost reach agreement deal to get Cody Gakpo.

Real Madrid can monitoring new center forward actually World Cup become the best place looking for young talented player and find with potential center forward have almost ended contract with their previous team.

The pressure is really on Barcelona, because it has been long they won la Liga league title which they need to do everything within their power to maintain this standard until they achieve this season title. Now that Real Madrid performance is gradually reducing in this season, because of the injuries some of their players are experiencing showed that this season title will be difficult for them to achieve  easily like the way they used to achieved titles without much stress. Barcelona coach will not allow this season to pass them by than to introduce more tactics that will make their performance increase after the break.

I even read in one of the football media accounts that Virgil van Dijk advised Cody Gakpo not to join Manchester United and was advised to go to Real Madrid instead. It seems that Van dijk is reluctant if the young Dutch player whose performances were so extraordinary in the world cup has to join Manchester United, where we know his performance is unstable and it can be a bad career to be in the Red Devils squad. If he joins Real Madrid, of course he will have a good career and a series of championships from various competitions will be guaranteed, moreover being able to play in the champions league will make every player feel happy.

Barcelona has a chance to become champions of La Liga this season. They are able to perform well. On the other hand, the performance of their first opponent Real Madrid is slightly deteriorating. Their main striker Benzema has been out of the squad for a long time. Now if the Barcelona team is able to maintain the consistency of their performance then they can become champions. Meanwhile, Lewandowski and Raphinha have consistently performed well.

Opportunities are of course still on Barcelona's side, apart from them being at the top of the standings now, Real madrid's performance is also below standard from what I saw from the previous season. But they will not be able to take it easily, because their eternal rivals will not allow Barcelona to move freely without significant pressure. We will see the battle of these 2 giants until the end of the season, I'm sure of that.

Barcelona may have managed to get first place this week but the La Liga journey this season is still ongoing, several matches will still be held and you can say this is not finished, if Barcelona does not improve the composition of the team it has by adding new players in defense it will be difficult to get victory this season because Barcelona has a weak point that can pose a serious threat.

Real Madrid as the defending champions and Barcelona were the teams that slumped last season. There was a lot of motivation and pressure on the Barcelona team to be able to win La Liga, especially after they were eliminated in the UCL.
now Barcelona continues to play insistently in every match while it is in contrast to Real Madrid so that Real Madrid often fails to get points against teams that are more advanced, as a result now Barcelona has managed to become the leader of the standings.

now the competition for the La Liga title will be very tight it will not be avoided after Barcelona has been much better this season and the chances are still the same for both teams.

The chances are really close for now and Real are only two points behind, but Barcelona have a lot of players playing in the World Cup at the moment. I think it will be difficult for them to continue playing in La Liga immediately after the championship. Although Real have a serious loss of Benzema, no one knows what might happen to the Barcelona players. But both teams are lucky to have a lot of points in reserve and at the moment there is competition only between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

[imamusma]

Where as,Madrid is still doing well,and even if they should loose matches,it won't really be a thing to worry about because of what they have achieved in the past years.

Yes and that is the best bulshit I've ever heard. When you and your team are still competing in any current competition, you just need to win it in whatever way you have. You can't say it's okay when you lose just because you've won in the past and now your cupboard is full, it's just plain ridiculous. If so, what's the point of them continuing to strengthen their team with quality players every season?

Competitions have to be won and it doesn't matter how many titles you have won. Every season you have to keep competing to win regardless of whether you are reigning champion or true challenger, so I hope you understand what competition means.

Barcelona has improved a lot and I agree with you up to a certain point,that they need to solidify their defense as that is where the problem was in the beginning of the season.In attack I think they are doing quite well with Lewandowski but they sure need to fill a huge gap in midfield since the time they lost Messi to PSG,they are suffering to create a lot of chances which seemed easy to do when Messi was playing for them.

The season is still long but I think they are in a really good position and it is only up to them how they will manage this upcoming part of the season,if they take every game with serenity I think they can be Champions of La Liga in the end of this season,if stress gets the best out of them then I am afraid they won't be Champions this year.

Xavi can do regular training to make his squad more compact to face the competition after the start of the League.

I hope Xavi is not too happy that Spain failed in the World Cup even though it would be very advantage for Barcelona, ​​but maybe there is a sense of satisfaction with the performance of his players who have maximized in this World Cup. Some players like Gavi, Pedri, Ferran, Balde, Alba, Busquets were the mainstays for Spain in the World Cup under Enrique and Xavi can be proud of their performance until the end.

Several other players such as Dembele, Kounde, Depay, De Jong will still defend their country in the quarter-finals. These four players are also important players for their country, so obviously Barcelona should be proud of what their players have achieved at this time. Some players will return to training with Barcelona, ​​but others are still fighting their way to the final.

They have only completed 14 matches out of 38 matches in La Liga, that means there are still 24 more games they still have to play. With 24 matches, it is still very possible for something to happen, be it from a positive or negative perspective. We don't know if they can really be consistent by picking up points in every game or vice versa. Likewise with their rivals, Real Madrid. They need to be focused in every game and not make mistakes they shouldn't.

now Barcelona continues to play insistently in every match while it is in contrast to Real Madrid so that Real Madrid often fails to get points against teams that are more advanced, as a result now Barcelona has managed to become the leader of the standings.

Real Madrid also still has the motivation to win La Liga and the Champions League again this season, but because Real Madrid's mainstay player was injured before the world cup started, that's what caused Real Madrid to lose the match so that the top position of the La Liga standings Barcelona has been taken over. But Real Madrid still has more chances and time to take back top spot from Barcelona after the world cup.

now the competition for the La Liga title will be very tight it will not be avoided after Barcelona has been much better this season and the chances are still the same for both teams.

The odds do look the same, but everyone will notice the difference after the world cup is over. Even though Barcelona and Real Madrid will both try to continue to play better in the second half.

after the spain game i think barcelona will need to replace those barcelona players who were playing in spain, it was visible how spain was not performing well and it really looked like it was barcelona there playing against morocco, i see that those players who were playing against morocco and who are from barcelona need to be replaced because they will only ruin barcelona, i hope xavi took notes of the way they will play in this world cup for him to see that he needs to change them, barcelona when he lost in the games the champions league was playing like spain against morocco, at least this is the impression i had
