La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[snipie]

The most profitable thing about Barca at the moment is that Madrid is still dependent on Benzema. from the several matches that took place, when benzema didn't play we saw madrid get bad results. This season's transfer market will definitely be enlivened by the hunt from Madrid to find a potential replacement for Benzema. The competition between Barca and Madrid this season is really tight.

Many names popped up in the World Cup and the winter transfer window is getting closer so I assume Real Madrid will try to sign a remplacement for Benzema even though he isn't injured anymore.

Many names popped up in the World Cup and the winter transfer window is getting closer so I assume Real Madrid will try to sign a remplacement for Benzema even though he isn't injured anymore.

there is news regarding Madrid's response which will not take much part in the transfer market this winter. The current squad is strong enough. even if some of his players are left in the transfer market this time, it will not be considered too much by Madrid.

but the latest news is also related to Madrid's agreement to sign Endrick Felipe, a young Brazilian talent that Madrid bought at such a young age. even at a fairly high price.

maybe it's true that Madrid should think about finding at least a coating for Benzema. although there were no problems with his performance, now he has more and more problems with his fitness. Madrid does need more young talent. that's my opinion.

[judas]

Fabrizio Romano has shared the tweet of a deal between Real Madrid and Endrick. Finally there is an agreement between two sides and he is going to join Real Madrid in 2024. If there wasn't such rule like he can't sign for them until he turns 18, then Real Madrid would get him immediately. This is a big risk for Real Madrid at the same time actually. Because there are still two years for this deal to be completed fully. In this period of time, Endrick might get some serious injuries which might affect his potential in a bad direction.

72 million euros is not a small amount for this transfer. But it looks like Real Madrid don't care about this at all. They just want to get him at all costs. I'm really curious about Endrick's talent now.

[hahay]

In the league, they only have Real Madrid as a title competitor. The cards are very different in the Europa League. There you have many more hurdles that you have to take to become champion, and you are not allowed to make any mistakes. In the competition you can still afford a defeat here and there. I think Barcelona is a contender for the title in the Europa League, but not very easily. Real Madrid actually has a much better team than Barcelona to become champion in the Spanish league. Are we going to see several more transfers in the winter period in the Spanish top teams?

For Real Madrid I believe they will still be recruiting new players because they have better finances compared to Barcelona, therefore I think Barcelona will not be able to sign new players because they have done their best before. But indeed, anything can still happen because Barcelona is a strange team, because even when their finances are destroyed, but Barcelona can still buy a lot of luxury players.
It will also be interesting to wait whether Barcelona will still recruit new players, or maybe it really won't do anything according to personal assumptions.

But when it comes to the strongest teams, basically Real Madrid and Barcelona are indeed strong teams, but even so, it will never be easy for them to get the highest achievements.
Even Barcelona last season in the Europa League was eliminated from the unseeded team and also, Barcelona this season is in fact still the team at the top of the La Liga standings. So yes, all possibilities can still happen, even though they are a strong team but it is still not entirely easy for them to win in every match.

Endrick is definitely at the Bernabeu now and it looks like there are still a number of players that Madrid will be targeting at this time. the closest is Jude now but it looks like it will be a bit difficult as surely they had a domino effect by shelling out quite a bit of money on Endrick a while ago. On the other hand, Liverpool will also be a threat if Madrid still wants to bring in Jude.
There is currently no news coming out of them looking for a new Striker but I hope they do from now on.

After Vinicius Jr, they saw the potential in Endrick and didn't want to miss it.  For Endrick, who is 16 years old, 72 million euros is a very high fee indeed.  In the coming years, they can apparently push their economic conditions for Haaland.  This transfer gave me that impression a little bit.  It will be a great pleasure to watch these actors together in the future.

This is really a very crazy price for a player of his age and it looks like this will indeed be trained to become one of the hopes for the future of Madrid.
He is still very young, but his performance has shown something good. Even before agreeing with Madrid, of course there were several big clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea and even PSG, but Madrid took a bold step by agreeing immediately on 72 million.
On the other hand, it seems that for Madrid now in terms of players on every line (defence, midfield and attack) the Brazilian players are already there

[boltz]

That is an enormous amount if money for Endrick at 16 years old so let's hope he have a clean and quiet time to grow and perform in the next coming years as the last kid who I remember being this talented was Bojan Krtic , who at that time , was more hyped than Messi as he was his "better" cousin. Anyway , Real Madrid most likely made a great deal with this transfer and kid also has a lot of years ahead of him to perform at the highest level.

It's and end of era for a lot of key players , including from Real Madrid , so we will keep see transfers like this in winter break but also next summer to slowly replaced them

[G_Besar]

By the way, this makes sense. Physically, the Barcelona players will be more rested than Tchuameni, for example, as Spain stopped playing very early and now they can fully recover before the restart of La Liga. In general, it is very interesting how the restart of the season will happen, because even I (who just watches football) was greatly unsettled by this World Cup and it will be difficult for me to return to regular competitions.

Physically yes, they were eliminated first in the World Cup. That is profitable for the team that the player defends. But mentally they will be disturbed, even so they must quickly restore the mental decline after they were eliminated from the competition.
Most of the teams that will be restarting the league will make changes I think, but big or small changes depend on the team. So let's see what will change for them once the league restarts.

Yes, of course it's a relief for every club if the players quickly return to the team in good condition. Mentally it is a bit disturbed, but it will be quickly forgotten by them. Especially for young players, experience in the World Cup makes them even more ready to return to competition, even the defeat they experienced can certainly be a valuable lesson for them. They still have a long way to go and I'm sure when they return to the club full of enthusiasm.

[RILWAN]

Clubs prefer to spend a good amount of money on you g players since their know the effect the age of the player will have on the performance of such players, give the 16 years old player some year to grow to perfection, and he will become a big asset to the club.
The most important point to note is to take close look at the player's performance presently to be sure he can improve on a good note.

I also agree with you, Benzema has contributed a lot to Real Madrid. Benzema has a unique role behind the ministers' major achievements. But currently Benzema is going through injuries and his performance has deteriorated a bit. So Real Madrid currently needs to add another talented young player in his place. If Kylian Mbappé is included in the team, their team will be very strong.

It is a good question. I'm feeling confident of one thing that Barcelona won't be able to go for any transfer in January. It isn't because they don't have money now. It is because of the financial rules of the La Liga. They have already made many transfers recently. Just because of that they had even problems with registering some players like Kessie at first. Barcelona wouldn't like to have another serious issue for themselves. Because everything is going just fine in the league now as they are the leader.
There is no need to take a big risk. I believe their squad is already more than enough for the La Liga title. All they need is consistency because they are facing a really fierce opponent like Real Madrid in the title race.

So far Barcelona have been giving a really fierce fight to Real Madrid for the La Liga championship and I am pretty sure that they will be a big contender for the Europa League. I do not think they need to bring in more players in order to win the Europa League or La Liga. Their key player is Robert Lewandowski and they need to use him to his fullest potential. We have seen that Lewandowski fit right into their squad right away and he has been scoring tons of goals which is good news for Barcelona. I think their main target should be the next match against Manchester United.

Barcelona has a youthful team, with less experience than Real Madrid. We also saw how the Spanish national team fared in the world cup, which mainly consisted of players from Barcelona. Real Madrid has much more quality. I've read that Messi would like De Jong to come to PSG, if they lose that too, it will be a very difficult story. I think Barcelona will lose a lot of points after the winter break, even though Lewndowsky can still limit the damage with his experience.

[Masplanc]

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga. All the players in their team are very experienced and play tactically. The good performance of Real Madrid's team has the potential to go well in La-Liga. That means they deserve to win the La Liga title.

Real Madrid has been one of the best teams in the world for many years, everyone agrees. They've been playing pretty well in the past years, but I don't think it's right to say that they're the best team in La Liga this year. If it was as you say, they would be leaders in the league now, but they lost points in the games before the world cup and Barcelona are in a better position now. A lot of things will change by the end of the year, but I don't think it's fair to say they're the best right now

Why people consider Real Madrid to be the best club in laliga is because of their performance in laliga and champions league.  Real Madrid has lots of start players , in every champions league they always have chances of winning.

The team now created by Xavi Hernandez is indeed a step for him to build and lay the foundation for Barcelona in the future. With so many young players it makes them look more to the future in my opinion. But he also has to look at the short term where the less experienced players are mentally unprepared. Maybe this is also what made Xavi Hernandez insist on keeping Sergio Busquets to create a balance between young players and experienced players.

The team made by Xavi Hernandez, cannot be said to have achieved real performance. moreover, if we look at when they played with the Spanish national team. they were good at the beginning, but fell apart in the following matches. Barcelona's young players have not been able to answer the team's current needs. Pedri and Gavi still need high flying hours so that their talents can be further honed. I'm sure Xavi has realized this, his work to build a solid team, it still takes time.

IMO, Barcelona has yet to find strong chemistry and bonding among its players. Barcelona only needs to mature the game of its young players, because for the front line players they already have a very sharp Lewandowski. I hope Ansu Pati will be given many opportunities to play in the second half of the season. I am optimistic, Barcelona still has a big chance to win the La Liga title trophy.

The La liga use to be much interesting and fun when teams like Sevilla and Atletico Madrid were going head to head with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the league top spots. It will be a little boring seeing just Real Madrid and Barcelona fighting for the trophy this season. I expect Atletico Madrid to come back after the break though to compete and move up the table after the January window.

[beerlover]

Due to the fact that Barcelona does not have any tension about the Champions League or anything else, they should be able to perform well. The only thing they can think about right now is the La Liga title.

I am not saying that this is going to be easy. But it is certainly going to be less difficult compared to when they had to think about what La Liga and Champions League were together.

Now they have the first position. I am quite certain that it is going to be very challenging for them to stay in the first position. Real Madrid is about to give them really fierce competition. However, it is pertinent to point out that Barcelona is not very clear in terms of points when it comes to Real Madrid. They are very reachable at the moment. So Barcelona will have to be very careful. They do have financial problems, but that cannot be an excuse. Because even with financial problems they have brought in very expensive players.

The difference is that they have it for Europa, sure easier opponents than what Real Madrid would face, but that means they may go further. People act as if Real wins UCL every year, and sure they have the most trophies that is true but that doesn't mean that we are talking about them winning it every year, some years they just suck.

So, let's assume this season they end up losing, right at this stage, that means they have nothing else but the league to focus on. On the other hand Barcelona would want to win Europa, so they would get tired a bit more so they would not be able to focus on the league as much. This is quite possible, and also very likely.

Yes, La Liga use to be very interesting. For Atletico Madrid there is still hope and maybe they can fight for the title again or at least be in the top four, but for Sevilla which are currently in an unsafe position, they have to get out of the relegation zone first. By only having 11 points it is unlikely to be in the top four, but anything can happen in the next 24 matches.

That is not a problem only with La Liga but with almost all major leagues except the Premier League where at least right now more than 3-4 teams are in the fight for the title,in France and Germany for example we have the same situation where one or two teams dominate completely the league and thus those leagues become boring.This is of course not the fault of these strong teams but the lack of other teams to have such great consistency as these strong teams have,I also hope for Atletico Madrid or any other teams from the La Liga to come up and put a better fight towards the title.
