La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[fachant]

That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now

The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..?
The Europa League trophy is more prestigious than the Domestic league trophy, a team that wins the Europa League has the opportunity to win the European Super Cup, because the scheme will bring together teams that have won the UCL and UEL trophies.
I don't need to explain at length to you, as a football fan, of course you already understand this.

The La Liga title is very important for the Barcelona team. Because they have been eliminated from one of the best tournaments, La Liga. Winning the La Liga title is now crucial for Barcelona to maintain their club image. If Barcelona wins the La Liga title, their club will benefit financially.

Indeed. The problem of having a tight schedule is only available once there is many injuries and less players to rotate. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough players to participate in different games except for one or two positions where it might be hard to find a good substitute, like Benzema case.
Otherwise, the title will remain between these two clubs in La Liga.

Well, I'm not sure that Barcelona will put all its resources into winning the title of the winner of the Europa League and I don't think it will be a great tragedy for the club's management to fail in this matter. Still, I think that the main priority for Barcelona is to win La Liga and if that happens, Xavi will be forgiven for all the other failures.

Absolutely correct sentence. Barcelona will focus on La Liga instead of UEL and will strive to win it. Right now La Liga has become more important to them than UEL. There is a fierce league title race with their arch-rivals Real Madrid and they will try to win this race. In my opinion, Barcelona's chances are very high this year.  And it would be great if they win the UEL.

I don't agree with you, Europa league is not prestigious as the league title. Europa league is considered a second tier competition and top teams only priorities it when there isn't any hope of winning the UCL and the league title. If you even look at the winning bonuses you will see that the league is worth more.

Basically all titles are important and when a team has a chance to win it, they will continue to maintain their focus. But indeed, there will always be unexpected moments that make the favorite team lose in one of the existing tournaments. But basically, all titles from all competitions are still important and I think winning titles is no longer just to prioritize prizes, money or bonuses but also to make history for the team.
If titles are no longer important, then I don't think they need to compete in existing tournaments, because the main goal in tournaments is to win titles.

Therefore, if someone says that one of the titles of the tournament is not important, I personally will never believe it. Maybe they assumed the prizes or money or bonuses were too low, so it was assumed that the team was not interested in pursuing the title. But I think that's not the main factor, because if they fail to get the highest title then another tournament will be an option for a team to be able to win the title.
At least that's my consideration in a title, because it's better for a team to win the title than nothing, so that will keep them playing well during the season.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are one of the greatest rivals in La-Liga. And Laliga is going to start again in a few days. Clubs have already started training. I am sure either Real Madrid or Barcelona will win the La Liga title this time. But it is very important for Barcelona to win the La Liga title from Real Madrid.

All leagues will restart once the Qatar world cup is over. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been around for a long time and is still continuing today, so that the two of them are always seen at the top of the standings. This shows that these two are the best teams in La Liga and for this season one of them will win the La Liga title at the end of the season because both of them still have to fight better in the rest of the season.

[bitgolden]

La liga would become the sense title to be won by barcelona. Barcelona didn't need rush to win some titles for this season. As long as barcelona can win la liga's tittle and that's good enough. Barcelona didn't need to be greedy but it must trust the process. It has not yet meet the quality to compete in the champion league. that means barcelona must focus to increase the capability from the squad to compete in the champion league next season. There will be also another home work just like barcelona needs to sell some useless players that didn't needed for the upcoming season to make sure barcelona can buy new players next month as transfer season already opened in january.

I feel like they really needed the win this season for sure because of the financial issue. I mean think about it, they are not doing great and I feel like there isn't anything that we could do to prevent that right now without winning, they just need that money. Obviously not that many people would know the exact numbers, but being first should be a lot more money than being second.

From the reward money to rewards from sponsors and all that, they would have a lot of incentive to win and that would be a lot of money as well. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be win both la liga and euopa at the same time so that they would cover at least some of the money they spent.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently between a rock and a hard place. Both teams are facing champion league and Europa league pressure respectively. For that, I think la Liga will be quite unpredictable seeing that Real Sociedad despite being in the Europa League is also pushing so hard this season to have a place at the top of the la Liga list after experiencing their last la Liga title and several runner-ups since 1981, I can't underrate their ability this year.

I think they are aware of what they have to do because that is the basic thing. Moreover, they are a big club who really have to know that the bigger they are, they also have to be able to continue to compete wherever it is because this is like the real provisions.
This is also what made them known and labeled as a big club, right?

Indeed. The problem of having a tight schedule is only available once there is many injuries and less players to rotate. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough players to participate in different games except for one or two positions where it might be hard to find a good substitute, like Benzema case.
Otherwise, the title will remain between these two clubs in La Liga.

At the moment in terms of finances Madrid are not lacking in that and if they want they can look for a striker from now on but in this case I don't know why Ancelotti has always kept that in check, not only this season but the season before. But indeed the previous season produced good results because Benzema was very strong but for now with Benzema becoming more vulnerable, obviously this is not very good and indeed they have to look for a new striker unless Ancelotti still believes in Rodrygo's performance although in this case I actually don't too sure when Rodrygo or Asensio are placed in the center striker because they are too young to carry that out.

Precisely I feel now is the opposite.
We know, Barcelona really need a trophy this season at least to secure Xavi in his current position and reduce the losses received due to defeat in the Champions League and let the money just go away so they have to try to get Trophies wherever they compete. It doesn't matter if the trophy is important or not but they have to win at least one this season.

[Furious 7]

In this case I still feel that Benzema will still be the main starting line-up until it is felt that he is no longer capable, regardless of which player later enters when Benzema recovers from injury he will still be Ancelotti's first choice at least until the end of Benzema's contract.
Even though the condition of his feet is currently not possible but we know that Benzema is a frightening figure when he is in the opponent's defense area so with this condition I feel he will continue to be there no matter what happens this season except if his foot condition doesn't allow it.

Even Karim Benzema is one of the best player in Real Madrid squad but keep one thing in mind every thing is replaceable in this world even in games because nothing is permanent, so mostly we will have Benzema as Real Madrid main striker, but they will bring new player as well with the approach of having long term planning because now Karim Benzema is having only 2 or 3 years in game so after this surely Real Madrid also needs a quality player which will help them for having their best performance for the long run.

Now, foremost we have to wait for the next movement of the Real Madrid because right now mostly quality strikers are already settled and nothing is available in market for the better move they have to wait until summer transfer window, but they are looking a player in just few weeks so what is going to cook we have to wait.

I understand this, especially when I'm at Madrid, no matter how good a player is, in the end, it will be wasted, but by looking at Benzema's current condition, when he recovers from injury, he will still be in the core line-up no matter what happens, regardless of whether there are new players or not as a substitute. his options at least for this season.
Except indeed like I said before, he's not very good and not recovering from his foot problem it's a different matter but as long as he recovers I don't think there will be anyone who can replace him this season.

[Docnaster]

Analysis of Real Madrid's past matches shows that they could barely secure consecutive wins without Karim Benzema. As such, if Benzema is influenced, the whole of Real Madrid is affected.
Seeing that there are several tough matches left for the team to play after the world cup, I think it's high time the Madrid board registers another central forward in the team to back up Karim Benzema, or else the entire Madrid future is at stake.

[smiletyson]

In terms of finishing, we can say that it is the worst team among the big ones in Europe. This was the reason why they were 3rd in the champions league. They have thousand positions, but they do not contribute to the score. In fact, mane would suit this team very well. I don't understand why they didn't buy this player. This will not work with dembele and ferran torres, they should know that. They went from city to sane place and took a pickaxe player like torres. The managers of this team are really not doing good. The thing the team desperately lacks right now is a classy winger. In fact, the playing styles of barcelona, city and liverpool teams are similar. The reason why barcelona is worse as a team is finishing and they don't have top class wingers. They need a player like neymar. This is not a business to be done with dembele and ferran torres. and they need to bring a top class coach. After Pep left, they couldn't bring a good coach. You look at the list of coaches, none of them are even familiar except for Enrique. For example, if a super coach like Tuchel comes to barcelona they can actually be a great team next year.

@Furious7 I personally agree that Real Madrid need to start planning beyond Benzema, and they should definitely buy one striker right away in the January transfer window. Furthermore even if Benzema returns I feel that he’ll last for maximum 2 seasons at his age, hence this is the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to plan ahead and maybe they could target João Félix what do you’ll think of this transfer?.

They must and tried to buy Mbappe from PSG but failed because of crazy offer of PSG for Mbappe. By following a transfer with Mbappe too long, they also missed Haaland who moved from Dortmund to Manchester City.

I believe that Real Madrid fully aware about the issue of Benzema and did try to prepare for Benzema's less contribution for their club. However what happened with Benzema since this season beginning is very unexpected. He got so many injuries since September and missed so many matches for Real Madrid and France.

About transfer, I did not find good striker who is able to replace Benzema and has a high level like Mbappe and Haaland. Could you share any world class striker who is young too in your mind, please.

if Madrid wants to get a quality striker with the good quality of Benzema, it will be difficult this season. some sharp strikers are hard to come by easily. hard to admit, but maybe Madrid should keep their current squad until the end of the season. if you want to add, I think the option is to look for an attacking midfielder who maybe can cover for Benzema or push Vinicius or Rodrigo. although with this formation, Madrid still can not score goals productively.

I am sure either Real Madrid or Barcelona will win the La Liga title this time. But it is very important for Barcelona to win the La Liga title from Real Madrid.

The rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid makes La Liga more exciting.  This year there will be a serious championship race between the two.  Barcelona didn't have a claim last year.  They started very badly.  This year, I can say that things are better under Xavi's management.  At the end of the year, I want Barcelona to win the trophy.

[Bobrox]

La Liga matchday 15 of 38 will begin on December 29 opening by Girona vs Rayo Vallecano, several player with their country have eliminated in World Cup 2022 have back to their team and joining training center left two weeks later match restarting. I saw Real Madrid official social media account publishing with Karim Benzema have return back to the team and leaving his national team after got injured.

For country have their player existing in World Cup like Nahuel Molina playing for Atletico Madrid have short time after his country lead to final and last match on December 18. Barcelona and Real Madrid having player in France national team, if possibility lead to final actually their main player return back to the team after World Cup and have few day only before La Liga matchday 15 restarting.

Any trophy will be very important for barcelona and it doesn't matter what kind of trophy it is. Barcelona was not even able winning europa league and you call that barcelona didn't care about such trophy? Winning the trophy meant barcelona will be instantly qualified for the next season of UCL. Europa league was not so prestige like UCL but it has value. If barcelona can't even win europa league and how can barcelona win the UCL? I think that you must realize the reality if barcelona was not a strong team.
Just because it's quite consistent in la liga and it doesn't mean barcelona already locked the la liga for the current season. The season is till long.

Real Madrid is different from other teams in terms of having Many potential players, Real Madrid can secure their victory in their remaining matches without Karim Benzema, because there are many strikers in Real Madrid that can handle that position very well until Karim Benzema recover from his injury. I don't think, Real Madrid can collapse like Liverpool, because since Liverpool released Sadio mane, their performance started reducing till now but such thing can't happen to Real Madrid, because there are many potential players on ground to maintain the position.

Real Madrid will looking for new striker in January i am sure about that but indeed on winter transfer window it's hard to gets good quality strikers because usually some of clubs weren't sell their players in January and most likely they will sell their striker after league ended or on summer and to cover Benzema position actually Real Madrid still have Rogrygo although he is more likely as a winger but Ancelotti was playing him for centre striker several times and the result is not really bad although he cannot playing well on that position such as Bemzema but i think this is good option for Real Madrid and assuming if Real Madrid failed to buy striker and Benzema still got injured i think this option can be used by Ancelotti for every matches
