La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

But what suprised me is that even after the poor performance from the defense Ancelotti still took the whole blame upon himself I think maybe it's because of the wrong decision he had in choice of formation or he was trying to protect his players from being called out by the media, either ways he should try not to repeat same mistake he mad3e, in their next match and should also understand that Brahim Díaz is one of his key players and has a vital role to play in Madrid this season, such kind of players shouldn't be benche.

I didn't expect Atletico Madrid to win in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid. I predicted this match would end in a draw but Real Madrid was forced to accept the reality of defeat. I also highlight Real Madrid's defense and goalkeeper. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Alaba performed under poor performance. Morata's first goal, Alaba was not ready to guard Morata when he received Dias Lino's cross in a slightly forward position without guarding Morata. Atletico's second goal was scored by Griezmann, Kepa who was not ready. Here I don't want to blame these two players because the entire team in the line up is responsible for this defeat.

Yes, if you look at the match records this season, it is very clear that Atletico Madrid will find it difficult to beat Real Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti's troops are able to appear very strong in every match. But the results of yesterday's match were really surprising and Atletico Madrid were really able to play phenomenally so they succeeded in beating Real Madrid in this prestigious Derby match.

I don't think anyone is to blame in that match, Real Madrid performed quite well, it's just that Atletico Madrid, who played at home, was really able to perform quite well and very few predicted that Diego Simeone's troops would win that match.

I'm sure Madrid won't go down too far. Madrid is Barcelona's rival for the La Liga trophy. Last season Madrid was too relaxed and their focus was on the Champions League. Until they didn't realize that Barcelona was already quite far ahead.
but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

Of course, Real Madrid won't sink too deep just because they lost to Atletico Madrid, but we all know that they do have problems in attack. Real Madrid's attackers were unable to do much when they were defeated by Atletico Madrid 3-1, even Bellingham, who is often considered a hero, was unable to do anything because Atletico Madrid was a stronger team than the 5 other La Liga teams they managed to beat.

I can really imagine that other teams will learn a lot from how Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid. This means that Real Madrid will probably lose more points in the next match if they don't really have a solution to improve their best form. Player injuries are certainly the most fundamental problem for Real Madrid, but we all know that they also lack strikers.

[tusandii]

Real Madrid should have been the team that controlled the match, but the result disappointed the fans. In this match, coach Diego Simeone and his team won thanks to their sharp "header" weapon. I don't think they're that good at aerial combat. Toni Kroos's honorable goal was all Real could do.
The most significant difference is that star Jude Bellingham is absent, with no assists or shots. His only highlight was a yellow card at the end of the match after a harsh tackle. The attack faced many difficulties without Vinicius due to injury. The whole team needs him to recover quickly.

In the end, Real Madrid lost in several previous matches. We discussed that Real Madrid victory was always narrow, making us doubt whether Madrid was able to compete strongly with clubs that had equal performance and Atletico is a club that has equal performance to Real madrid and for me that very natural because Real Madrid played away from home which ended in defeat.
In fact, we all know that the final result of match is that Madrid will lose because in terms of the depth of readiness the Madrid players, Madrid players were a little poor in that match, even Bellingham, who was always said to be the final scorer, couldn't score at all in that match.

This will be a special note for Ancelotti and when they face a much more evenly matched club it will make it difficult for them to get points. The reason for focusing on the Champions League like last season is Ancelotti's inability to handle Real Madrid and it is completely irrelevant if that reason is given. This defeat will not make Real Madrid worse, but Ancelotti needs to be careful when facing a club that is much more balanced.

but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

In this match we will probably see the performance of the front line players who have no chance of scoring goals and in my opinion Real Madrid needs a center forward in such conditions. If Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham are unable to score goals then that is where a center striker is needed as a differentiator on the field. The aim is to make a difference in the match and opponents will pay special attention to the center forward making it easier for other players to create goal scoring opportunities.

In the game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid lost the game with a bad result and while the fans were expecting to see their team use superstar players to beat Atletico Madrid but this time Diego Simeone and his players the game.
During the game, César Azpilicueta the experienced palyer of Atletico Madrid had a conversation with Jude Bellingham. Azpilicueta asked Bellingham to respect the fair play but this young star said he should not talk about fair play in this game.
Real Madrid was obviously under pressure in this game.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid was one of the best derbies I have seen in recent years. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone analyzed all the holes in the Real Madrid defense very well and passed this analysis to his players. That's why I consider Atletico Madrid's victory a deserved one. Real Madrid will continue to feel the absence of Benzema. Florentino Perez should have tried to spend some money and sign Mbappe. They need to sign a striker in the winter transfer window.

Including I also really hope for Real Madrid victory in this match even though it is a home match for Atletico Madrid but so far Real Madrid has never had problems that make it difficult to win even though the opponent is superior in a home match.
Several Real Madrid players who can usually be relied on in this match were unable to show their abilities well and they seemed unable to find openings to launch attacks properly.
In previous matches Bellingham was always a pretty good player and could provide goals for Real Madrid victory but today he couldn't do much against Atletico Madrid.

I thought these two players would heated debate but it turns out they didn't and it looks like their expressions are very serious when discussing fair play.
If only the two of them are scheduled to meet again I sure Real Madrid will avenge their 3-1 defeat in today match.

They are a club with a big mentality, so one defeat will not bring them down. It's not just once or twice that they have experienced something like this, even in the Chmpions League we all know that they are a club that can turn things around when the match time is not far away. However, their problem is now on the front lines. Most of the goals they scored came from mdfielders, and even most of the goals came from Jude , here it should be clear that they have serious problems after being left behind by their sharp striker this season. Ancelloti has to rack his brains, lest their weaknesses become an opening for their opponents in every match.

[Fiatless]

I think just one defeat received by Real Madrid does not deserve to judge their performance too much. I agree about the player shopping that Ancelotti needs to do because that is the team's need to face the tight schedule of matches they play in several competitions at once.
Utilizing the squad available now is not the solution to targeting a trophy at the end of the season. With Real Madrid's 3-1 defeat last night, I think Ancelotti has realized what he has to do with the club management.

Atletico Madrid might be going through some problems but they are one of the best teams in La Liga. They have all of the best players that can take advantage of any lapses. The cause of this defeat is purely defensive. The central defenders couldn't handle the aerial balls coming from the flanks. García and Vázquez were under pressure during counterattacks but Rudiger and Alaba left some of Atletico's strikers unmarked. It is normal for big clubs like Madrid to lose games but their ability to put the loss behind them and keep winning future games is what will determine how they will end the season.  

Los Blancos' loss of important players is seriously affecting the team, causing them to struggle in league games. However, they may be motivated to improve, having effective objectives to hit this season. Jude Bellingham contributed 0 shots on goal and only had one shot that was wide out. Diego Simeone's players didn't allow them a chance to breathe, kept pressing, and used their goal opportunities, Sául Nguez is MOTM, having delivered two fantastic assists to the frontlines and having complete control of the midfield. In the Madrid derby, Real Madrid was defeated by Atletico Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's performance has dipped.

Vinicius Jr has recovered from his hamstring strain but he was sidelined from the game against Atletico due to sickness. Bellingham failed to deliver Real Madrid this time and the club will be hoping that Vinicius and other players will be fit for Los Blanco's subsequent games.

I agree with your opinion that in this match the performance of the front line players is the key. Real Madrid really needs variety in its attacks, especially if players like Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham have difficulty scoring goals. Adding a center forward could be a smart strategy.
So, adding a center forward can be a good strategy in situations where the front line is having difficulty scoring goals, and this can be the difference in the match.
However, the question is who is the right striker to buy in the middle of this season?

Now what is the connection between the loopholes of Real Madrid and that of Benzema absence, what you saying do not pass a clear meaning. Nevertheless, The winners of the derby game did more than Real Madrid. They attacked and also defended, least thing you will want to see is Atletico Madrid winning all the controls in midfied.
Modric was too soft for the game and Jude Bellingham lacked experience as this show this is the first time he has featured in such hard derby. All goals came in as headers, that should tell that Real Madrid defense had errors and lacked communication.
Joselu is not up to the standards of Real Madrid what he does best is heading he will not have his contract extended by Madrid superiors.

There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid coach simeoni understudied Real Madrid and their weakness this season coupled with the absence of some certain key players such as Vinicius Junior. He understood how well to approach the team in order to defeat them and luckily for him, he has a very good squad that is able to do the harm to Real Madrid. He therefore did not hesitate but did his best in order to beat Real Madrid and I can attest that the winning was well deserved. In the other hand Jude Bellingham was not able to save Madrid this time around because the goal hat was needed to be scored was more than one. I therefore support you that Real Madrid needs a striker.

[Balmain]

It must be a joke that one of the best clubs in the world does not have enough attacking players. I wonder what they plan to do without a reserve centre-forward, sleep well Real Madrid. In addition, it is obvious that Real Madrid is inadequate in terms of attack, but Atletico Madrid is a team that I have liked very much since last season. They started the League legendaryly this year. In my opinion, this victory was a great victory. Even though there are shortcomings in the Real Madrid squad, Atletico Madrid is in a very good position in terms of game mentality. When the derby started, it was clear that they started very early with a quick goal from Morata, what a start it was, it was perfect. This early goal determined the tempo of the match.

Atletico Madrid played tactically well, scoring early goals in the 4th, 18th and 46th minutes. Their defensive strategy was strong too. On the other hand, Real Madrid struggled, especially with their defense. In the second half, Real Madrid had more possession but lacked effective strategies. It's evident that their defense needs improvement. Perhaps, signing more players, including a super sub and a skilled finisher, could enhance their performance. Despite attempting many shots, Real Madrid had trouble finding the net. Anyways Congratule Atlético Madrid.

When the season before the last season just finished,  and real Madrid was topping the la liga table and Manchester also topped the premiere league at that point,  instead of real Madrid making further preparation and winning of matches,  what was left was a steady decline in their performance and ever since then Real Madrid have not been able to record any more victories as their usually did in the 2021 season.

So for that,  I think Real Madrid have a lot of team work to be able to deliver goals in their matches and at that in future games be able to make good point record,  using their present player's formation to achieve that height in this season and beyond.

After a great start to the new season and a long unbeaten run, Real Madrid finally lost to Atletico Madrid. I don't know how you feel about the result of this match but I found the result of this match really unexpected. I usually bet for Real Madrid in La Liga matches against Real Madrid because I have a different confidence when betting for Real Madrid, from that confidence I also bet for Real Madrid today but unfortunately I lost this bet. As a Real Madrid supporter, I can never accept such a defeat. What happened must be accepted but one thing I said earlier is that a player will not always play for Real Madrid or he will not do well every day. Real Madrid lost to Jude Bellingham's worst match. Real Madrid may now understand the lack of a quality finisher in their team.

[rendravolt]

I'm still surprised by Ancelotti's decision in the Madrid derby because he tried to implement a new strategy in an important match like this and I wouldn't even be surprised if Real Madrid ended up suffering their first defeat of the season. Ancelotti put Jude Bellingham as SS and Rodrygo as target man, even though they still have Joselu who has a pure striker position, why does Ancelotti still insist on not giving Joselu a starting place?

On the other hand, Ancelotti's decision was very controversial in making Jude Bellingham as SS, even though he would be better placed as AMF or CMF, considering his typical box to box midfielder. Real Madrid's defense was also very chaotic and of the 3 goals scored by Atletico all came from headers scored by Morata and Griezzman. Most of Atletico's attacks started from the right side of Real Madrid's defense and this made Lucas Vazquez very overwhelmed as Carvajal's replacement. As for Ancelotti's other decision which was quite bad when the team was behind, he actually withdrew Fran Garcia and brought on Ferlan Mendy, who we know last night also failed to provide a crossing pass. I was tired of watching Real Madrid from the start because both attack and defense were equally bad and congratulations to Atletico who performed very brilliantly in the derby match.

Joselu is a rented player and apparently Ancelotti does not trust him much, realizing that at the end of the season he can leave and given his age Madrid are unlikely to offer him a contract.

In addition, Ancelotti again put Kroos and Modric together, although after the game with Manchester City it became clear that the two of them do not have time to cover all the zones and in the game with a fast opponent, there are always failures and in the case of Atletico happened as well. Although Morata's 2 goals were in many ways also a failure of Real's defense, but still the lack of young and fresh supporting midfielders has an impact.
Also, there is no one to replace Thibaut Courtois and it is clear that he is also missing from the defense to know that the goal is secure.

I understand that Joselu is just a loan player from Espanyol but when he plays for Real Madrid he will give everything for his dream team. Moreover, Joselu was one of the top scorers last season so it would be quite a shame if he couldn't get a main place when Real Madrid doesn't have a main striker this season. I think Ancelotti has a tendency to like players from Brazil and even though we know Rodrygo won't be good if he plays as a target man or starter, Ancelotti still insists on giving him a place to play as a starter. Rodrygo is better as a supersub and that is a fact during his seasons playing for Real Madrid.

Well, Ancelotti's decision to include two veteran players is also considered bad and it will actually create gaps in the midfield and become less stable given their current age. In yesterday's match I cannot blame the mistake on Kepa and however Alaba and Rudiger were supposed to be responsible for the aerial duel, but as we know the two players were silent and did nothing to prevent the goal.

[Docnaster]

It must be a joke that one of the best clubs in the world does not have enough attacking players. I wonder what they plan to do without a reserve centre-forward, sleep well Real Madrid. In addition, it is obvious that Real Madrid is inadequate in terms of attack, but Atletico Madrid is a team that I have liked very much since last season. They started the League legendaryly this year. In my opinion, this victory was a great victory. Even though there are shortcomings in the Real Madrid squad, Atletico Madrid is in a very good position in terms of game mentality. When the derby started, it was clear that they started very early with a quick goal from Morata, what a start it was, it was perfect. This early goal determined the tempo of the match.

It is obvious that Real Madrid forsaw what is happening to them now, but they were not keen enough to solve the problem before it surfaced.That was when Benzema was no longer frequent in starting for Real Madrid and Real Madrid saw the need to sign another striker in order to be benzema's back up because he was about to leave the club. There was a rumour that they went for Nigerian Inter Milan Victor but it did not work and they also went for mbappe and it did not also work. At a time I heard that they wanted to sign firmino from Liverpool, but everything did not work as it was planned. And today they are suffering what they would have prevented early enough.

There is no joke here and even though Real Madrid lost in a derby match like this but still, Real Madrid still has a great record in the world of soccer. Because after all, there no metter Real Madrid would be so bad just because they lost by Atletico in this derby match. Funny, if you think this is a joke because after all, basically we also certainly realize that Real Madrid also tried to bring Mbappe in the transfer window. But what happened, that Real Madrid still failed to bring in and in this season Real Madrid only maximized the players they have in the squad. So yes, this result I think remains a reasonable result and of course, even though Real Madrid lost but certainly will not be a big problem either.

Im waiting for bellingham and joselu to get injuries as well. It will be a complete disaster for real madrid. PSG is now targeting redrygo to replace mbappe. I think that PSG can try to swap mbappe for rodrygo if real madrid wanted it. It's just matter of time until this club will be falling caused by crisis in the forwarders. Rodrygo, bellingham and joselu may able to get injuries anytime. Real needs to prepare itself for such moment.

Real Madrid seems to be being punished due to the selfishness of its top officials who are too confident in the quality of the strikers they currently have, they are also relying on Vinicius to take on the role that has been held by Benzema. The injury factor has taught Real Madrid officials the most valuable lesson, the defeat against Atletico was due to the strikers not playing optimally. In fact, Real Madrid managed to control the match by getting several opportunities, but due to the striker's lack of experience in finishing, the opportunities they had could not be utilized perfectly.

Real Madrid's weaknesses began to appear after meeting a strong team, even though the mentality of Real Madrid players is very high, their efforts will be in vain if the final finishing is very bad. Atletico, who appeared less consistent, was able to score three goals against Real Madrid. I can't imagine what the final result will be when Real Madrid meets Barcelona, whose performance has improved in the last few matches.
