La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[len01]

For now I haven't received any news regarding players who are really suitable for Real Madrid apart from Kane. it's just that Real Madrid are unlikely to go after Kane. But for next season, maybe Real Madrid will focus on pursuing Mbappe, who reportedly has only one year left on his contract at PSG and will not be renewed. so that next season Real Madrid will definitely want Mbappe no matter what.

Some of media has been speculate Real Madrid are withdraw from to gets Kane this because Tottenham aren't willing to negotiate about Kane price because Tottenham want not less than 100 millions but Real Madrid feel this price is too expensive especially to the player who only have 1 year remaining contract just like Kane so Real Madrid possibly will find another players and recently after Mbappe has decide not to extended his contract with PSG and i think Madrid should be pursuing him immediatelly because in my opinion only Mbappe who deserve to called as the replacement of Benzema and i know the price will be very expensive but i think it doesn't matter for Real Madrid because they are rich club and they have money

well, I agree with this.
just now I thought that Real Madrid lost Benzema it doesn't matter but if the replacement for Mbappe is very worthy. because I know that Mbappe at PSG made a very good contribution in several games last season with a total of 29 goals and a very strong performance. I believe that Real Madrid, having Mbappe, will not be impossible to win the Champions League title next season.
I hope that this is not just a rumor but has to become a reality and that the management of Real Madrid really think about the possibility of buying Mbappe.

Barcelona is not the best team in the world at the moment, even in the previous season they did not deserve this title either.
As an illustration, as you said, the Champions League, which is the league for the top teams, Barcelona cannot get a good position there and is still below Manchester City.
The two trophies owned by Barcelona cannot be used as a guarantee that they are the best team.

Barcelona is no way the best team in Europe but did you just say Barça don't deserve the league title they won? Really? A team won the league with about 4 or 5 games to spare and yet they don't deserve the league? They won the league with like 13 points but you said they don't deserve the league? Oh c'mon! I agree Barcelona have been poor in Europe and that's not excusable but they 100% deserved to win the league. They only started dropping points an conceding goals after they had won the trophy already.
No team in La Liga deserved to win the trophy more than Barcelona. Despite their injuries they still managed to win crucial league games and won the trophy. Please, give Barcelona their floweres because they deserve it.

yes, Barca has done the best for them this season. struggling from the start of the season consistently to get points. Xavi's role was huge from last season lagging behind Madrid and now Barcelona is getting the win. Barcelona really deserves a trophy this season because even though they haven't been able to compete in the Champions League and Europa League this season, maybe it's because their players have suffered a lot of injuries. and Barcelona's conditions are not like Madrid's.

Since the start of this season, Barcelona's focus has been one-sided, making it easier for them to maintain consistency in La Liga. Xavi has only wanted to continue his good performances in La Liga since the start of the season. And that's why the Barcelona team can't play well in Champions League and Europa League matches. On the other hand, Real Madrid's target was not only La Liga. Their main target was the Champions League. This made it easier for Barcelona to win the La Liga title.

The two young lads have developed very well under the watch of Ancelotti in these few seasons. Talking about competence and who is fit to wear which Jersey. I support Vinicius Junior for the iconic number 10 jersey. Rodrigo can be given the number 11 jersey but I don't have much emphasis and interest in the jersey because it is not an iconic jersey in Madrid.
That being said, I think Madrid needs a striker who should be older than both Vini and Rodrigo in order to make the attacking line more mature than as it appears to be now.

Benzema, Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio are the three Real Madrid strikers who have officially left the club after the season ended. Their departure has left several numbers that could belong to Vinicius and Rodrygo next season. So far, Vinicius has been very comfortable using the number 20 on his back. Due to his increasing performances under Ancelotti, Vinicius is considered a suitable player using the sacred number that was previously used Ronaldo.

Rodrygo was entrusted with wearing the number previously worn by Benzema (before changing number 9) and Gareth Bale. Number 10 is still worn by Modric, Vinicius must be able to make changes in the Real Madrid squad by consistently maintaining his appearance so he can get the chance to wear the iconic Jersey at Real Madrid.

Barcelona's goal now is to win La Liga this year, as they won La Liga last year. Another target will be UCL, but we should not expect much hope from Barcelona in the Champions League. Who will they transfer during this transfer window? My guess is that they can close the transfer season with a few transfers.

Some names already included in the list of player transfer by barcelona include gundogan as the main target by the club. There must be some requirements before barcelona will able to make transfers. The main thing is barcelona needs to solve its financial problems.
La liga already given green light for barcelona to do some transfers but the problem if the club must have been preparing at least 200 millions first before it will able to buy players from another club.
I saw that how ferran torres even ansu fati will be selling by barcelona in summer but so far there's no agreement already made between barcelona and the buyers from those players.

I heard that if some EPL clubs were interesting in signing ferran torres from barcelona. barcelona needs to buy some experienced players.
It's good to see barcelona have been regenerating its players but that's not enough.
That's why gundogan has become the main target by barcelona this season. I hope that barcelona will able to sell some players as soon as possible after the transfers season will be opened soon.

Vini is an excellent player. If he can maintain his fitness, he will become Real Madrid's main striker in the future. But Vini needs to be calmer and more modest. Vinny is a bit fierce. He reacted badly to the referee's decision. Such behavior should be avoided. He needs to be more calm. Also, Vini is often a victim of racism. I don't know why Vini gets attacked every time even though Real Madrid has a lot of black players. Vini may also have some personality issues. But Vini is still young, maybe that's why his nature is a bit fierce.

I am not sure that he will become the main striker as he is still a very typical wing player. Ronaldo was also a wing player but he was more directing his game towards the goal and the centre in many situations. Vinicius Junior isn't going straight into the centre as often as Ronaldo used to do it for Real Madrid. But Vinicius Junior doesn't even have to do it if Real Madrid now finds a strong replacement player for Benzema. He can then focus on his left wing position and pose a threat to their opponents from there.

As long as Ronaldo was in the Madrid squad, we never saw a better performance than Benzema. Ronaldo was the main player in Madrid. And the coach used to make his match strategy around Ronaldo. But after Ronaldo left the team, we saw how disruptive Benzema is. Real Madrid's squad has depended solely on Benzema's performances for the past few seasons. Now Benzema has left the team. Vini must perform well. Pressure will increase on Vini. Now Vini has to prove his mettle. He has enough chances to get himself on the list of legendary players of Real Madrid. But we don't know if he will succeed.

But for next season, maybe Real Madrid will focus on pursuing Mbappe, who reportedly has only one year left on his contract at PSG and will not be renewed. so that next season Real Madrid will definitely want Mbappe no matter what.

The timing of Mbappe refusing for contract extension when Madrid has a striker option seems too perfect. It is being reported that PSG are furious at Mbappe about it and have no option but to sell him only. It's a perfect opportunity for Real Madrid here as they will be getting a perfect replacement and plus they have been targeting Mbappe since last season. Or Madrid can wait and can get him for free when his contract ends in June, 2024 but given how the space has been left by Benzema's departure I think now is the right moment.

[hyudien]

Rodrygo was entrusted with wearing the number previously worn by Benzema (before changing number 9) and Gareth Bale. Number 10 is still worn by Modric, Vinicius must be able to make changes in the Real Madrid squad by consistently maintaining his appearance so he can get the chance to wear the iconic Jersey at Real Madrid.

Vini and Rodrygo as one of the forerunners of future Madrid players who have won this trust, I think both of them deserve it. While learning that the numbers 7 and 11 are a bigger responsibility than ever. For this reason, Madrid has been preparing for it from now on while handing over Rodrygo jersey number to Garcia which Rayo has returned. The massive overhaul made by Madrid in the break phase is the ideal moment to improve everything and adapt to the new tasks of players like Bellingham who also need to learn a little from Modric senior so that the game system is effective and optimal. the important thing is that Bellingham needs to learn how Modric is the best midfielder who can be said to be creative in terms of building attacks.

Real Madrid's frontlines, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Silva de Goes, have new important numbers, 7 and 11, former Cristiano Ronaldo numbers, and Gareth Bale. They have been tasked with doing an excellent job in the future season, and the coach will add more supporting players for this combo. For the midfield, newly signed midfielder Jude Bellingham will team with Luka Modric for fresh learnings; the Croatian is a world-class midfielder who understands how to handle any opponent he comes across; Bellingham is on the rise and is only 19 years old. More years to play football, and he's lucky because he's in one of the world's biggest clubs.

[Swordsoffreedom]

They deserve this number and I like what Madrid are doing now by changing the jersey numbers immediately.
If I'm not mistaken from the previous season Vini was also offered this jersey number but did refuse because in addition to feeling still not too appropriate, the jersey number 7 is also still worn by Hazard now no one wears this number and of course it must be given to him.
But on the other hand with new numbers for Vini and Rodrygo of course they must realize that with legendary numbers like this especially for Madrid then they have a greater responsibility now.
The season is still long enough to start, hopefully they can make a much better contribution than this season.

Vini at the left flank and rodrygo at the right flank ... both developed very well in the last two seasons and will prove it next season that they could bring back real madrid glorious days , but who's in front? As benzema leaving and so far there are no top players linked to them , there is lautaro martinez and harry kane but that's just a rumor that come from not reliable sources.
They have to bring someone very soon or they might ended up with a panic transfer to land an ordinary striker out of nowhere, seriously.

There is no doubt that Vinicius is a talented player. But is he still worthy of the number 10 jersey? The most talented and important players in the squad usually wear the number 10 jersey. I think Vinicius is not experienced enough yet. Real Madrid should definitely look for a more experienced player. Barcelona management gave Ansu Fati the number 10 jersey. But Fati's performance is still weak. Fati cannot be considered a worthy replacement for Messi. So I would say that Madrid management needs to take more time rather than giving Vinicius the iconic number 10 jersey right away.

I think, Real Madrid will start experiencing negative things like Liverpool from next season because I don't see any potential players among the players here who can handle that Karim Benzema position very well, and it will take the team a long time before they can get it right.  Martinez is a good player if Real Madrid will accept his past performance to sign him into the team because he is very young like victor Osimhen which he still have more strength to sustain the team to a higher position if the opportunity is given. I don't think, Real Madrid will leave Martinez and choose Kane because by age they still believe in Martinez like someone that will have long strength to perform well.

Since Benzema has already left, Madrid can target young, prestigious players who will eventually be able to stand on their own, and I believe that one position is not meant for one person, I believe that Madrid will eventually find someone to fill Karim's position because even Karim's time is gradually coming to an end because of age so i feel other young players will feel that position well and since Benzema is going to be paid well thats the whole aim (money). I think I will disagree on this one, but I do believe that there is still enough time to know whether it will happen or not, I mean if madrid will improve or not.

Exit of Karim Benzema and dilemma for the Real Madrid to have one-star player is surely going to have big news in this summer transfer window with there were rumors about few players those are under their radar but due to high prices they are not going to negotiate about this all but now things looking tricky, and they need good star with Mbappé and Kane are surely due to high price no in their targets.

But, Martinez can fill this spot if Inter Milan is going to have some soft corner which is also hard after their good performance in last season and having good chance for the next season again after having news from media about Martinez linked with Real Madrid the management of Inter Milan clearly announces they have no intention to sell this player in this season, so hopefully things could be on positive for the Real Madrid in coming days, and they will be able to have suitable replacement of Karim Benzema.

Anyway, Mbappe is indeed very suitable to play at Real Madrid. Because yes, at a young age at least Mbappe was not a greedy person with money, because at his young age Mbappe should have won many titles and to achieve many titles then of course Real Madrid is the right club. But yes, if Mbappe still prioritizes money, then maybe forever Mbappe will play at PSG with minimal achievements, of course this will be a regret in his old age. So, because Mbappe still has a big chance of getting a lot of awards, this moment is indeed the right moment for Mbappe to leave PSG and play for Real Madrid.

To be honest I thought Luka Modric might leave Real Madrid because of his age. I found it difficult for him to compete with younger players. It was clearly visible in the last matches. I got the impression that he has been very tired this season. But all the same it is good that there are new names at the club who can take his place in the future.

No doubt now Real Madrid is having some problem due to sudden exit of Benzema with Tottenham is also not going to negotiate about Harry Kane price with they are still with their demand and Real Madrid is not going to pay this all which mean now they are looking for any other player with Mbappé is now also in limelight with this news he is not going to extend his contract with PSG which is going to end 2024 so PSG will surely sell him immediately but Real Madrid president already announces they will not go with the current price of him so now things looking interesting how they will settle this all because without main striker they will be gone down like we have Liverpool in Premier League surely they need to fix this all before start of season for the better end and positive results.

[shinratensei_]

I can imagine the dream team that is already prepared by ancelotti. The comeback of brahim diaz and fran garcia to the madrid was even making the club even better. I hope that mbappe will able to go to the real madrid after PSG will be announcing to sell him.
Madrid can take a step to secure him. IM very happy mbappe has been deciding to leave from PSG. I can imagine how strong real madrid with mbappe played as a replacement for benzema.
Madrid will have crazy attacking lines. Mbappe is very suit with madrid. I hope that if real madrid will able to get him.

It will be so good to see new real madrid with mbappe on it. Madrid fans dream come true. Perez has been also saying yes for mbappe. that's a positive signal for real madrid to get mbappe.
Real madrid just need to find additional defenders that can perform like rudiger. The typical player like haaland must be anticipated by real madrid next season.

The good luck on them is the fact that while they have lost good strikers they had, they are going to have a shot at Mbappe. He basically said he will not renew his contract with the team and PSG is not willing to let him go for free, considering he is one of the best player of his age, PSG will want a ton of money to sell him and there are very few teams who could pay for it.

I am not expecting City to end up paying it, United takeover is still not done yet and we are talking about Real Madrid here, it fits so perfectly because they have no striker and can play Mbappe directly at striker with no competition and he wanted to play there since he was a child, it's a perfect storyline right now and could be amazing to see.

The sudden departure of Benzema increases the need to buy a new striker in Bernabeu. Perez publicly answered that he and Real Madrid open to buy Mbappe but not in this season. It sounds logic because if they wait till the next summer, they will be able to have Mbappe as a free agent because Mbappe rejected to prolong his contract with PSG. PSG don't want to lose Mbappe without anymoney from transfer so they announced that they are ready to sell Mbappe.

The question is just the cost of Mbappe on the transfer market and will Real Madrid be ready to spend hundred of dollar to buy him when he only has one more year in the contract. I believe that Real Madrid have enough patience to wait one more year and save a lot of money.

I am not expecting City to end up paying it, United takeover is still not done yet and we are talking about Real Madrid here, it fits so perfectly because they have no striker and can play Mbappe directly at striker with no competition and he wanted to play there since he was a child, it's a perfect storyline right now and could be amazing to see.

I don't think Pep Guardiola wants to have Mbappe because he needs players who can follow his guide and he really hates players with high ego like Ibrahimovic or Mbappe.

So, because Mbappe still has a big chance of getting a lot of awards, this moment is indeed the right moment for Mbappe to leave PSG and play for Real Madrid.

It was never about the money, I think. It was more about achievements. A young player will always think that a big club like PSG with money can bring in a better squad and will get some great achievements. Although PSG were able to win Ligue 1 and other cups from time to time but they failed to win CL which matters the most. A club like Madrid which has a squad with winning mentality can really give Mbappe the achievements he is looking for. But given how things went down last season, will Real Madrid go again for Mbappe this window or maybe next(when his contract ends). Right now, he just recently denied the rumours about him joining Madrid this transfer window as he wants to honor the contract but Romano has reported that PSG either wants the contract extension now or to be sold in this transfer window.

I think that Real Madrid needs desperately to find a key player like Mbappe which would give them that breath that much needed in midfield,Modric honestly is old now and cannot keep up at his age with such a high performing league,I think Real Madrid should do all that is in their possession to get a player like him to join them,it would make a big difference and overall his impact would be felt in both competitions.I am sure with a player like him Real Madrid would be fighting for the La Liga title much better against Barcelona and also his presence in Champions League would probably make them to not suffer devastating lost games like the one against Manchester City this season.

I don't think you guys have thought this through. Mbappe is a great player no doubt. Among the top three best players in the world right now, but have you thought about where he would play if he signs fr Madrid? Mbappe is primarily a left winger, but Madrid have Vinicius in that position. Mbappe can also play as a center forward, but Madrid are looking for a national center forward, does that mean Mbappe would play the right wing? The Mbappe signing will only work if Mbappe is signed as a center forward which isn't his preferred position.
Also Madrid should better know they don't have a great midfield. Bellingham, Vinicius, Velverde is not a great midfield. Modric is still good but he's getting old and won't be strong enough to control a whole midfield for 90 minutes.
So don't get too excited because Madrid have not really done well so far.
