La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Minecache]

That's why international matches feel almost as intense as going to war between countries. It's nerve-wracking both ways, but that's our football – they've to perform duties on both the international and club stages. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's injury list just keeps getting longer. This time, Vinícius Jr will be out for at least two and a half months after getting a thigh injury against Colombia match. It's bad news, but Madrid has to keep going. Let's just hope that, no matter how tough it gets, Madrid will still manage to survive it.

This was news I really didn't want to hear, but it couldn't be helped because it all happened. Player injuries are something that will be very worrying for all teams, including Real Madrid. Vinicius is a reliable winger who is able to create many goal opportunities for his team to win, but unfortunately we have to lose him for a while until his injury problem is resolved.

Concerns about injuries suffered by Real Madrid's main players at this time will clearly increase. I hope the team's performance won't be too affected as long as the other players are able to do their job well, but still the team and its game will be affected by the injury problem. To date, 8 Real Madrid players have suffered injuries. It is a big challenge for Ancelotti to maintain his team's form while this player is injured, but I am very worried that the injuries suffered by Vinicius and Bellingham will make Real Madrid's attack power even weaker. Joselu and Rodrygo cannot always be expected, but I just hope for the best because if not then Real Madrid will very likely lose in the next few matches.

Since many of the talented players who are in good position for Real Madrid are injured including Camavinga, Tchoumeni, Bellingham, Ceballos, Arda Guler, Vinicius, and even the goalkeeper we all know as Kepa, I honestly don't think Real Madrid will be able to win all the games they play before the injured players arrive. Real Madrid is just like a team that can't perform well again for me. Many Real Madrid players won't be able to play until 2024, and they still have more than 14 games left to play. Real Madrid lacks a good player to play the number four position; Tchoumeni and Camavinga are the only players who can play the position well offensively. Real Madrid will try to use Kroos, but he is not as strong as Tchoumeni and Camavinga.

International games are the most common source of injuries for players because some of them lack the skills necessary to play in a league setting. However, if we look at the players who have been injured this season, a large number of them have come from international games. For this reason, I personally dislike international games. I've also heard that Bellingham and Cebalos are currently training with the team and will return after the international match. I hope the Real Madrid players recover quickly and continue to play as they have since the start of the season.

onecall123, This is really bad news for Real Madrid. They already had a problem with injuries. Maybe not as bad as Barcelona, but still it was a problem. And we all know that Vini Junior is a very important player for them. I wonder how they are going to perform and how they are going to manage the squad right now. Because he was a player who played almost every match for them. This is going to be a tough period for Real Madrid as they already don’t have the best striking power. Losing one of the best winger in the world is definitely going to be a problem for them.

Agree. It risks players very much, they have no enough time for the rest. Moreover, they will play seriously in the international matches because they play for their country. With the injury of Vinicius Júnior, Real Madrid has 8 injured players. Sadly, almost all of them are Real Madrid main players. I don't know how Ancelotti to dal with this injury problem. With no Vinicius in the from line, Real Madrid probably replace him with Brahim Díaz or Joselu. Or Ancelotti will try to change again the formation and tactic.  

Sadly current player Real Madrid condition after getting national team called, its very bad for Real Madrid they have many important matches but loss 8 players due injured make Carlo Ancelotti have looking for other alternative who compete replacing them. Latest update, Vinicus Jr have absent until two months later and Real Madrid loss many main player after Camavinga get injured before and out from France national team.

Carlo Ancelotti have looking for new scheme regarding many regular players injury such as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Camavinga are main players for Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti will make Joselu, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz will be regular position during have many main players injury. Hope all Real Madrid's injured can recovery as soon possibility because they have loss Militao on the beginning league begin and he still can't predicting when return from his injured.

[Richbased]

This is the main reason I do not like international breaks and games, players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries and this sad incidents is channel to affects the important players that served vital roles on the pitch in  elite teams. Vinicius Júnior is affected, first it was Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Anthony Rüdiger, Aurelio Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and now we have Vinicius Júnior, can Real Madrid be able to keep the top race with the absence of these players? I think Carlo Ancelotti will figure a way like he always do, more reason I respects him.

Though international breaks leads to so much of injuries as most key players of the clubs return back from the international break with series of injuries however, players actually need to turn up and represent her country in international competition as it will boost the players confidence and also the player will receive accolades from his country. The only problem is that I don't know how roughly international competitions has been to the extent that after international breaks players return back to their clubs wounded.

One issue I have with Barcelona as a team is the fact that they do not have a consistent striker. As right said, Lewandowsky has been a bit erratic with his performance and I may owe it to the fact that he returned from an injury spell to a team that had Joax Felix performing better than before.
Its just a striker problem and I don't still think Xavi has a perfect option yet.
Real Madrid will be looking to sign a striker as soon as the transfer windows open because Bellingham can't just do it alone, despite the good performance of the team so far.

Barcelona have several strikers in their squad. But they are not experienced enough. Torres, Raphinha and Felix are each talented. But they cannot perform well on a consistent basis. Because of this, Barcelona still have to rely on Lewandowski's performance. I would say Felix, Torres and Raphinha should work harder.
I'm sure Real Madrid will buy the striker in the winter transfer window. They are waiting for Mbappe. In the last transfer window, we saw various rumours regarding Mbappe's transfer. Real Madrid will not waste money adding a player to the squad without an experienced striker. If Mbappe cannot be added to the squad in the winter transfer, I think the Madrid management will wait longer.

[Belarge]

I don't know if there is a faster recovery process for these types of injuries, but if there is, Real Madrid urgently needs to find a way to recover their injured players quickly.

Injuries is a core factor that actually makes elite and mediocre teams decline in performance, injuries do happen to every club specifically the big clubs in different leagues. Real Madrid have suffered a hugh blow when it comes to injuries, this awful incident have put Carlo Ancelotti in a tight corner and he will compromise his strategies and position for the purpose of elevating the club. What? wait a second, checking the players injured, ofcourse these are the main important players that served important roles for Real Madrid, so I think it will be really tough for the club to bounce back to triumphant path without the presence and contribution of these players.

[topbitcoin]

I don't know if there is a faster recovery process for these types of injuries, but if there is, Real Madrid urgently needs to find a way to recover their injured players quickly.

It's tough, Vini had the same problem a few months ago and he was sidelined for a month and now he has the same problem with a tear in his bicep femoral muscle which will definitely keep him out until at least the end of the year.
Now with the current situation then indeed Madrid must look for some alternatives to find a viable option although there are still some players like Brahim Dias or Joselu who can be used as temporary replacements but indeed at this time surely Madrid must be able to find some players because otherwise this hurricane of injuries could interfere.

This will be very bad for Real Madrid's front line, this was proven when Vini was injured a few months ago and Real Madrid's front line performance was very bad without Vinicius.
A loss for Real Madrid and also a loss for Vinicius' career, the incident in the same place strengthens the possibility that Vini's future will be even more bleak, after recovering from injury, Vini's performance declined and when he was trying to revive his performance, injury came back to him, this really will very difficult for Vini's future.

And for Real Madrid, something like this will be a strong reason for them to immediately bring in a new striker in the January transfer market.

I admit that Barcelona actually does have a very talented striker like Lewandowski but unfortunately Barcelona does not just need a striker but needs truly talented midfielders and defenders to strengthen its line up and at the moment for me Barcelona is already very good with its current ranking. the coach is able to maximize his team performance with the strength of the existing players, whereas logically this team actually needs talented players in every line but does not do anything before its finances improve.

and for Real Madrid, lets abandon hopes of getting Mbappe and I am sure most of the people here know about Real Madrid clarification saying that there was no offer before the transfer window opened and if we realize this is actually a sign that Madrid is disappointed with Mbappe who previously rejected the offer from Madrid so this team may not be too focused on getting this player and we know that Real Madrid has other alternative strikers to bring in.

The news of Vinicius Jnr's injury is a big blow to Real Madrid considering the importance of the Brazilian to the Real Madrid squad. From the reports so far, it's reported that's he's expected to be sidelined till the end of the year which means that the club manager will be using Joselu as his current replacement using the club's current formation.
If Real Madrid must contend for a serious title this season, they must sign few more forward players during the January transfer window because the club's failure to land a replacement for their former captain Karim Benzema has really affected their performance this season

I am sure club managers will always be scared each time players are released for international duties. Some of these international games are played in substandard stadiums which could increase the chances of injuries. Some countries also lack quality medical teams that can assist players in times of health needs. Some of these games are so physical and rugged that players become victims of avoidable injuries. I don't blame some coaches who sometimes stop players from honoring national invitations.

It seems this current international break is becoming a disaster for Real Madrid. Eduardo Camavinga will be out for about ten weeks after he ruptured the external lateral ligament of his right knee. Now will be out for about two months after suffering a hamstring tear. Real will be having a busy schedule with seven matches to play before the end of the year. With the absence of important players like Camavinga, Bellingham, Tchouamen, and Vinicius Junior, Real might have a very difficult run after the break.

[Jegileman]

Real Madrid was unlucky on the FIFA day and in the game between Colombia and Brazil, they got another injured player, 27 minutes after the start of the game, Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian player of Real Madrid couldn't continue the game against Colombia and this is bad news for Real Madrid because Vinicius Junior was recently in the good form and he is definitely an effective player for his team.

This is the main reason I do not like international breaks and games, players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries and this sad incidents is channel to affects the important players that served vital roles on the pitch in  elite teams. Vinicius Júnior is affected, first it was Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Anthony Rüdiger, Aurelio Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and now we have Vinicius Júnior, can Real Madrid be able to keep the top race with the absence of these players? I think Carlo Ancelotti will figure a way like he always do, more reason I respects him.

Players are very vulnerable to injury during international breaks, I don’t know why it is always like this. This cannot also stop a club from releasing a player to go play for his nation when they are called upon because that will also increase their chances of winning more trophies and add to their name. Real Madrid are now in a big mess to have lost all these players to injury, let’s hope they recover early and get back on their feet.

From now till end of the year will be very difficult for Real Madrid to fight through, they have lost a lot of important players that are the strength of the teams, if theirs no plan B on ground, I foresee defeat upon defeats in their games they will be playing without this players. Because any team they are meeting now will like to take advantage of their lack of strong squad to win them. Real Madrid does not seems to amuse us, but let’s wait and see if they can cope without this players and still win matches like before until they’re fully back in the lineup.

I don't think Madrid played badly in Vini's absence, it's just that the attacking schemes were reduced and that's true because Vini is a good support in attack with his speed but Madrid weren't bad because they were still quite good in terms of their play.
The problem is that it's not just Vini who is currently sidelined as a number of players are still not expected to feature due to injury. Now perhaps with Vini definitely out of the squad until the end of the year,Madrid may still expect Jude to make a good return after recovering from his injury, but it is time for Brahim Dias and Joselu to be given more time now.

When the ball support for strikers to score goals decreases, it will certainly affect the results of Real Madrid's matches. It's a shame to see several teams experiencing problems with their players getting injured and of course, this will greatly affect the team's performance.
Real Madrid may still be safe when facing weaker teams until their core players recover, especially if they have secured a position in the Champions League, but when these players take a long time to recover, it will be a question of how the substitute players play to maintain the team's performance.
So far Joselu has contributed 5 goals and 2 assists for Real Madrid, but he still needs the support of a midfielder so that there is a lot of ball supply going forward and he will try to finish with goals, but Ancelotti as an experienced coach will understand how to keep his team on top, and not Letting injuries to key players affect the team's results which can damage the team's efforts from the start of the season.

Who is the striker other than lewandowski? Felix? ferran? These guys are not pure striker, their actual positions were wingers. Barcelona had only lewandowski as its striker. This is why barcelona is targeting a new striker during winter transfer season. Barcelona will sell raphinha soon.
The future of felix and ferran torres are still uncertain at this moment. Barcelona needs a pure striker which was able to having good positioning. The club doesn't need another versatile player. Felix and torrest were enough to prove that how it was giving no impact to the club.
Barcelona needs someone who was capable enough like lewandowski. The club will be trying to search it. I see that mbappe has been linked to the barcelona even haaland.

I thik that those options didn't even make sense. Barcelona is still in the financial crisis and it has not yet paid the money owe from other clubs. Haaland and mbappe have very high salary.
This is only giving another trouble for barcelona. It will force club to sell as many players as possible.

Things like this are a concern for clubs when players strengthen their country. Yes, when they come back, they come back with an injury that they sustained while defending their country. Of course this is a loss for a club, and not only the club, the article their country also has the same loss if only their players cannot recover quickly.
The hurricane of injuries has hit several teams, and Real Madrid are one of the teams that have experienced something that will make it difficult for them.
I agree that they need to find other options quickly, at least until their players return and recover from injury. Since they have some important matches ahead of them, it is imperative that they do well.

[KTChampions]

I also read from several other newspapers that the Brazilian winger was injured in the match against Colombia. Based on Romano's report, Real Madrid estimates that Vini Jr will be absent for at least two months, possibly two months and a half based on the recovery process. other reports, another major blow for Madrid after Camavingga's injury which is expected to occur again in January. Apart from that, there are several other players who are injured, such as Tchouameni, and several players who have previously been injured. What is certain is that this condition is unpleasant news for Real Madrid fans.

This is because FIFA and UEFA invent nonsense/garbage tournaments (like the Nations League, Conference League) and expand tournament formats in such a way that the number of games is constantly growing. At the same time, the quality of competitions and interest in them decreases, plus, as we see, the players cannot withstand such stress. It seems this month there will be another court hearing regarding the Super League, I hope business represented by the clubs will finally take control into their own hands and we will see a cleansing of garbage in football.

At the beginning of this season I had very doubts about Barcelona's financial condition, but they were able to buy some quality players. So I don't think money is difficult. But there is indeed some news that Barcelona has improved the financial system. But it turns out that until recently they had considerable debts. They seem to be taking advantage of players who are currently without a club. In addition, the sale of Messi is the best start because his salary burden is huge. In addition, they also sold several players who were no longer in Xavi's plans. In the middle of the season, maybe they won't buy many new players anymore.

Real Madrid did well without Vinicius Junior for a while and I'm certain that they make it soft even if they won't be without some key players.
Joselu should step up if he wants to remain as a long term Real Madrid player, I've read of him saying he hopes to have his contract extended with Real Madrid. I don't see that happening because, he has barely showed up for Real Madrid. I want to see him step up in the absence of these players.

[tiCeR]

There are several interesting ways regarding Xabi Alonso's future career that I think could become reality next season. There are three options in my opinion.

The first option is that he stays at Bayer Leverkusen because he wants to enjoy what he has built himself and reap the rewards if he sees the potential to win (more) titles with Bayer Leverkusen.

The second option is that Real Madrid is already in talks with him behind the scenes and they let him know that they want him at all cost if he plays a successful season with Bayer Leverkusen.

The third option is somewhat unexpected for most here, but once I heard the Bayern Munich bosses talk about Xabi Alonso and they couldn't stop praising him, saying what a great guy and personality he is and that he would become an amazing coach one day. What will happen if Tuchel gets sacked towards the end of the season and Xabi Alonso is the one who beats Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga? Could it be possible that Bayern Munich will try to make Alonso take Tuchel's position?

 Alonso's exploit for Bayern Leverkusen has placed him in potential spots as there'd ever be, teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. No doubt for the current team, after them seeing his abilities and his skills in securing victories, him being the one that's literally brought out the exploits of Leverkusen, they'd definitely want to retain him as they see a very big possibility of more titles been won and they just want to secure more wins and team growth for themselves.

 Thesame applies to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, they've seen a whole lot abilities in Alonso and the possibility of it been maximized, however the possibility of him joining Realmadrid is higher than that of Bayern Munich cause Thomas Tuchel just recently joined the Bavarians and his chances of winning the title is high.

But only winning one title has never been enough at Bayern Munich to have a secure position as a coach. Bayern Munich pays a lot of attention to the interpersonal abilities of a coach and if they see that Tuchel keeps distancing himself from the club DNA, I wouldn't be surprised if they sack him at the end of the season unless he delivers some remarkable results and they have no choice but to allow him to continue.

From what I understand about the club Bayern Munich, I think they put a lot of emphasis on the interpersonal abilities of a coach and Xabi Alonso would be that kind of guy they are usually looking for.

Vinicius Júnior injured in International game for Brazil and that has cause another blow for Real Madrid after the break. Carlo Ancelotti and his team will be the one to suffer from his absence, he's a key man in the frontline and having him on the pitch full-time have developed the team's current performance. However backup players would utilized this opportunity brilliantly because that's one golden opportunity they will never get again. Real Madrid admires best talents and they will do anything to keep backup players that are capable of delivering the team in crucial moments.
