La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[HajiBagi]

Currently, Real Madrid is in its best performance since Jude Bellingham join the club. Real Madrid did not waste their time buying Jude Bellingham for a large price (103 euros). Jude Bellingham is the best midfielder that Madrid currently has and having Jude Bellingham will make the team strong and confident to face the upcoming league.
I hope Real Madrid will be better in the future because they have some great player including Jude Bellingham.

This season's Real Madrid squad has an interesting composition, many potential young players in the midfield are already strong, they just need to increase their playing time. The back line is still not strong enough in my opinion, especially with Eder Militao's injury, this is still Real Madrid's weakness this season if Real Madrid's front line lacks a top striker, fortunately Jude is Real Madrid's savior when Real Madrid is deadlocked in scoring goals.

Of course, Real Madrid cannot rely on Jude to continue scoring goals, because his position is not a striker. Jude can be said to be Real Madrid's most successful transfer in recent seasons, his arrival gives Real Madrid a little hope of competing in Laliga this season.

Real Madrid has many players who can score goals, including Rodrigo and Joselu, who are also good players, and I believe if they have the opportunity to do so, they will score goals that improve the team's performance. Yes, I do think that Jude Bellingham's performance helps Real Madrid, but I don't think that they always depend on one player. I don't believe Real Madrid will be short on talent at any position because the team has a lot of young players and has filled any vacancies left by injured players. In addition, I believe the squad's performance will improve as a whole because even the match between Real Madrid and Getafe demonstrated the team's continued strength.

Brahim Diaz is one of the best players, and I can see it from his performance in Real Madrid's match against Getafe because he really outmuscled the Getafe player. I think he has the same skills as Vini Jr. because he can run and outmuscle him, and I think Real Madrid will want him to play in the first half of the game because he really impressed me with the way he plays and I know even the team will recognise him as a good player.

[AakZaki]

Vinicius' injury will certainly be a significant loss on Real Madrid's front line because currently only he is Real Madrid's mainstay, but Ancelotti has openly said that he doesn't need other players and is quite confident in the squad he has even though Vinicius is experiencing injury.
And also Vinicius is not that long, so I don't think it will be a big problem for Real Madrid and overall this team is quite capable.

Vinicius became a mainstay of Ancloti last season, his contribution was very good for the team. A hamstring injury forced him to rest first. This adds to the list of injured players in Madrid. Courtois, Millitao, Guller. But if Ancloti had faith he would be okay it seemed wrong. I think Anceloti is just calming down. He didn't want to look panicked by the injury problem. Other than that they are on a positive path at the moment, they have not dropped points.

[marcous]

Real Madrid squad has plenty of talented players. And yet their performances have been steady, even though their squad is without their best striker Benzema.

Real Madrid has not yet added a player to the squad as a replacement for Benzema. Maybe next season they will add an experienced striker to the squad. The top spot in the table is currently occupied by Real Madrid. But I think they are going to lose the top spot very quickly. Benzema is not in the squad, while Vini is injured now. It will be much more difficult for Joselu and Rodrygo to keep Madrid's attacking performances stable.

I think Madrid without Benzema will still be quite strong in La Liga, Jude Bellingham is the best alternative when it comes to scoring goals. Even though Vinicius is injured, Ancelotti still has players like Josellu, and I predict Madrid can stay at the top of the standings for a while. Vinicius is reported to be recovering in October, and will of course miss several big matches against ATM in La Liga and Union Berlin in the UCL group phase.

The closest Reak Madrid will be to meet Real Sociedad in La Liga in week five, it can be said that Madrid can easily secure full points. I predict Bellingham will score goals again.

Barcelona is planning a move for Manchester City's Erling Haaland in 2025:
Barcelona are said to be interested in a future deal to sign Erling Haaland.
The 90min report claims Haaland has a £150 million release clause that runs until 2025, and Barca wants to activate that clause.
The Blaugrana are far from being able to afford this situation, but they can plan accordingly two years in advance, as Robert Lewandowski's salary should also come off the books. Because he will be getting old and Barcelona could take their replacement as Manchester City player Erling Hallond. [1]

Erling Haaland would be open for new adventures after his release clause on his contract becomes active. Because as far as I know his father said that Haaland is eager to play for different big teams during his career. Hence he would be willing to listen to offers from other top teams in a few years the most. Barcelona would be an option for him as well of course. Because Lewandowski is already 35 years old and it is doubtful whether he would play here much longer.

Barcelona had better make their financial condition solid until then so they can make a record-breaking offer for Haaland.

Real Madrid keep in the winning trend and on the top performance after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ittihad, seems not problem yet with attacking line because Jude Bellingham become an alternative for replacing Karim Benzema position keep scoring goals. Not only losing Karim  Benzema but also Real Madrid leaves by Vinicius Jr after got injury and must absent for several matches later. Joselu replace well with attacking line position after scoring one goals on last match and Real Madrid have consistency performance in domestic league.

Real Sociedad is next teams opponent for Madrid upcoming match in La Liga before playing in Champion League, I doubt with Real Madrid tactician Carlo Ancelotti will make some rotation for preparing to Champion League match against  Union Berlin.

Luka Modric is a legendary player for Real Madrid. Real Madrid may never forget Luka Modric's contribution to Real Madrid. This season might be Luka Modric's last season at Real Madrid as Real Madrid already have a worthy replacement in their squad. Maybe this legendary player will not be seen playing in Real Madrid jersey from next season. Luka Modric is currently a footballer at the age of 38, at this age it is natural that the manager will not put him full time. If Carlo Ancelotti plays him full time then he can't expect full performance from him so don't think he needs 90 minutes Real Madrid.

Modric already realizes that he will be left out this season considering he is no longer young. Easier players have been appointed to fill his role and Modric just needs to finish the season before leaving or retiring. Modric's quality is not in doubt, even at the age of 38.

I know Ancelotti won't give Modric 90 minutes of every game, in fact I believe Modric probably won't start the game if the opponent isn't a tough team to beat. His experience is needed in a match, and of course he can still contribute to Real Madrid this season. So far Modric has appeared 4 times, but Ancelotti is starting to rotate his squad even though Modric still has his place in the main line-up, especially in several matches.

[Leviathan.007]

Age has a lot to do with Luka Modric's performance, he deserves credit for performing at this age. Luka Modric is the most iconic player of Real Madrid. He has been instrumental in many victories for Real Madrid in his career, his contract with Real Madrid expired this season but Real Madrid extended his contract for one more season. Luka Modric is one of the most senior footballers in Real Madrid, Real Madrid has more young footballers, so considering the experience, Luka Modric has been kept in the team for one more season. If Luka Modric is still capable of playing 90 minutes, Real Madrid manager will not play him for 90 minutes.  
If the first 40 minutes is a good performance from him, then Real Madrid will be satisfied with playing him for the first 40 minutes.

Carlo Ancelotti still using him as a piece of instrument in league games, he's earned accolades at his prime. However Los Blancos already scout good backup replacement for the player, Jude Bellingham who's outstanding in league games and have deliver the club in challenging times. Luka Modric is aged, his regular playing time will be reduced inother to get him in good shape. His performance is still at top level. The Croatia international have achieved alot with Real Madrid and he has no plans to exits Santiago Bernabeu this summer, he's staying and becoming a legend for Los Blancos would be a dream come true for him.

Luka Modric is a legendary player for Real Madrid. Real Madrid may never forget Luka Modric's contribution to Real Madrid. This season might be Luka Modric's last season at Real Madrid as Real Madrid already have a worthy replacement in their squad. Maybe this legendary player will not be seen playing in Real Madrid jersey from next season. Luka Modric is currently a footballer at the age of 38, at this age it is natural that the manager will not put him full time. If Carlo Ancelotti plays him full time then he can't expect full performance from him so don't think he needs 90 minutes Real Madrid.

In many games when Real Madrid had good performances Luka Modric was a big reason for. He also had good performances in the team when he was playing for Tottenham in the past.
I think even at this age, Luka Modric is an effective player for Real Madrid and this won't be easy to take his place in the team while when Arda Güler joined Real Madrid people were expecting to see him wearing the shirt of Modric after Modric got retired.

Other than that they are on a positive path at the moment, they have not dropped points.

The fact Ancelotti can still be calm is because Real Madrid has Bellingham, if Real Madrid does not have Bellingham, it is certain that Ancelotti will find it difficult to make a good performance for Real Madrid. After all, from the results of the victory that Real Madrid got so far this season also happened because Bellingham managed to make a big contribution to the victory that Real Madrid got at this moment. So yes, that way even though Vinicius was injured, the fact is that Real Madrid can still get good results at this moment, even Real Madrid is still at the top of the La Liga standings without defeat and without a draw.

Other than that they are on a positive path at the moment, they have not dropped points.

Vini Jr is scheduled to return on October 4th.  Even so, he will not immediately be played as the main starter.in the end, Joselu will temporarily replace Vini Jr.'s role.  in the last season, Vini jr became great because of his teammates. The combination between Vini Jr, Benzema, Rodriygo, is a frightening threat to his opponents. Now, Benzema has left for the Saudi club. and this season, Ancelotti is trying a new system for his squad.  For now, Ancelotti can be quite calm with his squad even though several of his players have suffered injuries. However, that doesn't mean Ancelotti doesn't think about plans when his team plays match after match.

Of the 4 matches this season, Madrid has not met a team that is strong and solid enough. In the next matches, Madrid will meet quite strong teams which could be a stumbling block for them. especially, matches in the Champions League. Fortunately, Madrid is a team in Group C. In fact, the team they are opposing is not a strong enough team. That means Madrid can still progress with its positive trend in the next few weeks. It's just that when Real Madrid players get injured, especially in the attack line.
This would be a serious problem for Carlo Ancelotti's squad. This week, Madrid will host Real Sociedad. After that, Madrid will host Union Berlin in the Campions League competition. In another match, Madrid will meet city rivals, Atletico Madrid. With a busy schedule, it is very likely that Madrid will encounter several obstacles, the impact of a busy schedule will be quite troublesome for the Los Blancos squad.  That means, Ancelotti must prepare his players to stay on the right track.

[bitgolden]

Actually, for now it is not certain whether Kroos and Modric will part with Madrid this season or not, it's just that the indications are strong when looking at the age of the two players at this time, especially for Modric.
But indeed this will be interesting when Madrid next season if some of the main pillars in the squad are left and the loss of Ancelotti which is sure to happen this will definitely have a significant impact and a change of scheme with the new coach is something that is certain.

Madrid need to anticipate from the beginning about this and hopefully they already know the right alternative for Ancelotti's replacement later.

I would guess that considering they have a great young squad right now, Modric and Kroos could be a bit more "not needed", but that doesn't mean that they are not going to be signed, and that's going to be something that would be a bit different. I know the feeling that it is going to be a bit of a tough job, but that means that we are going to end up with a result that will be a bit different in the end.

Hopefully people could see the difference and could realize that it is going to take a while for the young ones to be that good. They are good, but not as good as Kroos or Modric at their prime of course, hence it is going to be tough. Jude, Tchouameni, Valverde, Camavinga, they are all great players and could be even better.

Ok ok, i agree with you. Jude Bellingham is a big midfield player; but you also need pure attackers, you can't solve the situation with a strong midfielder who scores goals.
It doesn't work that way, so you're just patching the problem, you're not solving the problem.
And Real Madrid need to solve the problem: found good attacker.

I agree with you. Real Madrid needs a pure striker as part of their plans this season. I think Joselu definitely helps, but Ancelotti doesn't seem to have much confidence in the 33 year old striker. So far Real Madrid have failed to get Mbappe, but they have to make a better effort if they still want to get him in the next transfer market.

Expecting Bellingham to score goals is not a big problem, but Ancelotti must use Bellingham as a striker rather than an attacking midfielder. Bellingham has had a good impact in a number of Real Madrid's wins so far, but Ancelotti needs to realize that Real Madrid's problem is actually a lack of strikers.

Real Madrid seem to be really positioned in a tight corner, after most of their primary starting players sustained severe injuries which have kept the whole team in suspense. Real Madrid would struggle to suit in the top level of performance this season, if they didn't signed significant players that are serving effectively to the team. Jude Bellingham remained the best signing for Los Blancos this summer, he's a very important instrument for Carlo Ancelotti as he use him in league games which the englishman actually delivered in crucial scenarios.

Barcelona's main midfielder is injured on international duty.
Barcelona has suffered during the international break when it comes to losing their star for an unwanted injury that continues to cut up from time to time in a game that is nothing more than a friendly. As a result, he became more skeptical about allowing his players to participate in such instruments.
According to information provided by the Spanish news agency SPORT, the 32-year-old German midfielder Ilkay Gundogan suffered a serious injury against the French national team in the last friendly match between Germany and France at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK in Dortmund.

If by that period or season Barcelona has the right players to build around Haaland, he shouldn't hesitate to move to Barcelona. Just the way Ronaldo did years ago, Spanish League makes it very easy for a player to dream about winning the Ballon d'or awards.
If Pep Guardiola moves and the right manager is not brought in to back up what Pep has for they will lose good players.
Moving to Barcelona is same as Man City. Haaland will find the move exiting they are already preparing for the exit of Lewandoski.

I doubt Barcelona could afford such amount of money before 2030 or if they find an epic sponsoring deal before that date. They could persuade Erling Haaland to join them as free agent but to activate the release clause, I don't think so.

I read that Ilkay Gundogan injury isn't that bad and should return soon. They didn't precise when but his back pain should heal fast.

That's sad for Barcelona to have their player İlkay Gündoğan injured. In the game they had against Japan İlkay Gündoğan couldn't have a good performance in the German team but in the game between France and Germany, İlkay Gündoğan had an effective performance and even in the first goal for his team he started the move and his performance was good in that game. But unfortunately, this experienced palyer is injured.
His situation is still unknown but we know İlkay Gündoğan can't play for his team in the game against Real Betis,
Barcelona also can't use Ronald Araújo and Perdi against Real Betis.

Now that's not possible and they'll have to hold out until the winter transfer window reopens.
It looks like Ancelloti still wants to see how they do with a striker who isn't exactly pure. Actually there is already Joselu who if you look at his current position is Center Forward but until now his role in Madrid did not get that because Ancelloti still likes 2 strikers and 1 second striker for the formation that is done but if in the end they return to the original formation with 4-3-3 just like last season surely Joselu will be in the middle only even though he was very good last season at Espanyol but Espanyol and Madrid are very different so maybe this is a consideration for Ancelloti.
I think if in the end Madrid still hope for the same formation and Joselu ends up deadlocked then it is possible that for the winter transfer they will look for a younger and more energetic pure striker.

Barcelona's financial condition does not yet allow it to target Haaland in the next few seasons, unless Xavi really makes a big profit from selling a number of his players to Arabia or to other teams. Barcelona under President Laporta tends to be very wise in making transfers, of course Laporta's approach is to uphold quality without spending a lot of money.

Barcelona will also have Vitor Roque in their squad next year, so the rumors still seem strange to me right now. Barcelona is very focused on improving performance and so far their young players are really progressing well. Regarding the Haaland rumours, it will never happen for Barcelona in my opinion.

Real Madrid tends to be successful in overcoming problems with the 4-3-1-2 formation in the last few matches, in fact they have started using this formation since pre-season. Maybe it's because of Bellingham, so Ancelotti is just taking advantage of something special from him.

They are good, but not as good as Kroos or Modric at their prime of course, hence it is going to be tough. Jude, Tchouameni, Valverde, Camavinga, they are all great players and could be even better.

Young players are meant to do that and Madrid have tried to regenerate over the past few seasons, so that the absence of important older players on the pitch such as Kroos and Modric can eventually be minimized by the presence of younger players.
They have tried a number of ways to do this, such as resting one of the players (Kroos and Modric) and replacing them with youngsters like Tchouameni and Valverde, so that Madrid don't lose too much in the absence of Kroos or Modric and the youngsters don't lose too much because they can replace them. Although the level of attack and initiation is different, it is a good way to regenerate players.
Modric will probably only be at Madrid for this season or next season at the most and if that happens, Modric will definitely be more on the bench like Marcelo before him, so anticipating from the previous few seasons, I think Ancelloti has done very well.

[tiCeR]

The combination of Kylian Mbapppe and Kareem Benzima in the frontline will be superb if this deal happens and will definitely bring significant changes to the team in terms of performance. This deal is something I have been wishing to happen, but it keeps being delayed by the PSG side.  Mbappé is a fantastic player, and it's clear that is the reason PSG don't want to let him go.

 

Man you are talking trash! Benzema? What are you even posting here? I am really not calling anyone out because I am not interested in doing that, but can't you please invest a minimum amount of time to get the most obvious facts right? Bezema is no Real Madrid player. I don't now what you are wishing for or which drugs made you dream of Mbappe and Benzema playing together for Real Madrid, but this is weird.

As in any other area of business, there are contracts and these contracts are supposed to be complied with. Mbappe has a contract and hence he has to stay when requirements from PSG are not fulfilled. Whether he is good or bad or what not is completely irrelevant.

But maybe you know more than anyone else and Real Madrid is already working on a deal behind the scenes to bring Benzema back from Saudi Arabia.

The duet between Mbappe and Benzema can only happen if Mbappe surprisingly decides to leave and join Al-Ittihad after his contract at PSG ends ... But I think that's hard to be true  

No one knows for sure where Mbappe will go. Even though Real Madrid is predicted to be the team that has a big chance of getting Mbappe next season but that doesn't necessarily mean it will actually happen. There are rumors that an agreement has been reached between Mbappe and Real Madrid but still, it doesn't close the possibility that he will disappoint Real Madrid once again.

But this one surely was a funny fail by Franctoshi! I often read some posts here and think that someone just got a little bit of it wrong or maybe read an old source or something, but missing out on the fact that neither Mbappe nor Benzema is playing for Real Madrid, and then even to think that both are playing together for Real Madrid right now, @Franctoshi I wonder which source you had a look at? But it's fine, shit happens!

Well I think the Mbappe thing will not even come to a normal ending after this season. There is probably tons of rumors again and who knows what the PSG bosses are planning. Given the astronomical salaries these days, nobody would be impressed if they offered him 200 million a year as well if he extends his contract one more time. I don't know whether that would be possible because of financial fair play, but what if they offer him a salary that also contains a pension of 30 million for the next 30 years or so. I don't know how such a contract would be counted, but if they really want to they will find ways to pay him some extra.

Moving to Barcelona is same as Man City. Haaland will find the move exiting they are already preparing for the exit of Lewandoski.

Barcelona for over the past two years has been severe financial crises and that was one of the primary reasons that made Lionel Messi to leave the club and join Paris Saint Germaine in the summer of 2021. Barcelona hasn't been active in the transfer window like other European giants and that's because of the same financial issues.
I don't think they can afford to sign and pay the wages of  a player like Erling Haaland at the moment and even of they can afford it, Erling Haaland wouldn't want to leave a star studded club like Manchester City to join Barcelona.
