La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Pokapoka124]

This is one rule that comes to mind whenever I read such discussions about Kylian Mbappe idolizing Cristiano Ronaldo. Do not follow a great mans path, you'll have to do twice of whatever he did and at the end of th day, you might not be able to get half of what he achieved. Kylian Mbappe is great but expecting him to do what Cristiano Ronaldo has done for Real Madrid is something I think that will never happen.
He is yet to even adapt to that Real Madrid first eleven and you compare him with Ronaldo's path in Real Madrid?  I think they should stop using him as a number nine and start utilizing Endrick who I think is more of a natural number nine for them. It's gonna be tough season ahead for them, I'm seeing Barcelona winning the La Liga Competition or even Atletico Madrid if they consistently get going the way they've started the season.

This is a great quote from Robert Greene. I’m against fans and pundits putting Kylian Mbappe in a box. He’s young and still growing. Christiano Ronaldo and Messi are built different from today’s footballers. Ronaldo in his prime, he was at Manchester United, playing in one of the toughest leagues in the world. I think coming from a tough league like the EPL prepared Ronaldo for every league he later moved to. Mbappe’s football career on the other hand has been limited to just the Ligue 1 which in my opinion is not a very competitive league. And has not met any real competition as PSG is basically farming the league.

Mbappe has two incredible World Cup performances to his name. But Mbappe’s real test will be how he performs at Real Madrid. His success will depend largely on his accomplishments at Madrid.

I found one interesting news today because the rumour is Real Madrid will make Manchester City player Rodri as their priority transfer for summer 2025 and why they want Rodri because Ancelotti feel he is the right player who can replace Toni Kroos position in the team and Real Madrid is very sure Rodri will be accept the offers from them and according to the transfer market Rodri value approximately 100 million and if Real Madrid want to bought him then at least they have to spend the money according to the market price

Rodri actually has a contract until 2027 and Manchester City even will attempts to give him contract extension and make Rodri as highest paid player in this team but Rodri has star stalling on contract extension which given by Manchester City which makes this speculation appears

Rodri is an important player in the Manchester City squad, but his future will be the subject of hot speculation when one of the giant teams from La Liga offers him a contract. Real Madrid certainly need it to find balance in its midfield following the retirement of Toni Kroos and the possible expiry of Modric's contract next season, so Rodri would be a welcome addition.

Manchester City is unlikely to let Rodri move so quickly to any team in the next transfer window. They still need Rodri even though Ilkay Gundogan is back, but without Rodri the balance in the midfield is not very good. Do you remember how Manchester City performed when Rodri was absent for a long time due to injury? That's what I mean.

We're still at early season, but Madrid has already gotten a wave of injuries. I can't even believe all the injured players were almost making a complete squad. It needs Courtois to be injured; then we will have an injured eleven. I doubt they can win the title with the current situation. We have good subs to replace them, but they are not as good as the injured players.

I wonder what Ancelotti's plan is if more players get injured. This is because Real Madrid has very limited players to rotate. Also, they must have played in the new UCL format. It forced them to play longer than last season when they used the old format.

I think the wave of injuries really affects Madrid's chance to win the title. And it makes me lose my confidence by taking outright bet on them.

Do you guys agree with me?

Although many Real Madrid players are injured, there are two good news, because Bellingham's recovery process is going very well and quickly. Bellingham is expected to return to play in the upcoming La Liga match against Espanyol, Rudiger and Vallejo are also expected to be starters in the match against Real Sociedad match 5. So actually there are still other options even though many players are injured. Indeed, to win the title it feels quite difficult if many players are injured, especially with the increasing number of matches after the update with the UCL league format.

However, I am sure with Ancelotti's ability to deal with all of this, it is not surprising that every season he always gets obstacles like this, but Real Madrid can still survive in conditions like this, there is indeed a down phase but not long in my opinion. If you remember last season, Real Madrid did not have a main striker, then the main goalkeeper was injured since the beginning of the season and two core defenders were injured almost the entire season but Real Madrid managed to win the La Liga and UCL league titles. So I am optimistic about Real Madrid.

It's a problem that Madrid end up having almost every season because last season they were like that and it's happening again this season and I think it's too soon for Madrid because we're still at the beginning of the season but on the other hand it's a bit better that it's happening at the beginning of the season because when it happens mid-season or towards the end of the season when the schedule gets tight then it could have been worse in terms of possibilities.

Previously, the injuries to Camavinga and Jude could still be dealt with by Dani Ceballos and the central midfield position could still be filled by Tchouameni but now both of these players have picked up injuries too which makes the situation even more difficult.
Fortunately, the current international break has brought the league to a bit of a standstill for some time but it's possible that Modric could partner up with the likes of Brahim Diaz against Sociedad. However, the left side is in trouble with Jude and Camavinga in the left attacking midfield and Mendy, who we all know is a left-back, all sidelined and now only Fran Garcia is left at left-back so he will have to fend for himself and it will be very difficult if he gets injured too.

Rodri's transfer to Real Madrid seems unlikely. It's true that Manchester City have sold big players for big money when the right offer came in, but these players were not irreplaceable. Rodri is the best midfielder in the world right now and no amount of money can buy him. We also remember what Rodri said about Real Madrid just 3-4 months ago. Real Madrid need to strengthen their squad, yes, but they should choose someone more likely to be their no. 1 target.

It's a bit painful but as you said, Madrid's main problem each season is always the hurricane of injuries because it's not just this season that they've got it, last season they even had a defensive crisis because of the hurricane of injuries until Camavinga and Tchouameni played more as defenders than midfielders last season and this season they have the same thing where at the beginning of the season there are already around 9 players who have to be in the treatment room for injuries.

As for Arda, although he is injured, it doesn't look like the injury is too severe and even in some local media that I read, it is said that Madrid is quite optimistic that Arda will still be in the Madrid squad when facing Real Sociedad later although other players are certainly difficult to participate in the match but there is still a breath of fresh air where some players like Arda can still be forced.

The impossible can even be possible when it comes to business and money because at the end of the day anything is possible and we've already seen the surprises of this transfer season where some unexpected players have been signed by clubs including Dani Olmo by Barcelona and Osimhen to Galatasaray, so Rodri could still be a possibility in this regard too.

However, this is still a long way off as the transfer window will eventually open in 2025 with either winter or summer transfers so there is still plenty of time to see if this is true or not.

I don't think we need to speculate too much on this because after all, it's still a long way off because we're just now closing for summer transfers so to discuss transfers in the next few months I don't think it makes too much sense to speculate wildly from now on.

Bellingham is expected to return to play in the upcoming La Liga match against Espanyol, Rudiger and Vallejo are also expected to be starters in the match against Real Sociedad match 5.

Luckily, Real Madrid has other top players who are ready for various substitutions, although it may not be as optimal as the full main squad.

But, their defense line, there are 4 backs who are really injured and it is not known when they will return. It's quite worrying.

At least, Bellingham is scheduled to return in the 3rd week of this month and Ceballos is expected in November. However, for David Alaba who was injured at the end of last year, who was expected to be ready in October, it seems that there is still a delay based on his current condition.

Rodri is without doubt a great player and have been one of the best players of Manchester City in the last two seasons so it's not surprising that we're seeing speculations suggesting that Real Madrid might come for his services but I don't think the Spanish champions needs his services at the moment. Real Madrid isn't lacking quality players the position that Rodri plays so I don't expect them to try sign a very important Manchester City player who is very unlikely to leave City at the moment when they have Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchoumeni and Eduardo Camavinga who can effortlessly do whatever Rodri does on the pitch.
Real Madrid squad if you ask me doesn't need strengthening in the midfield position at the moment unless they just want to unnecessary waste their funds

This is still possible, I see Rodri seems interested in returning home to play for Real Madrid. This promises to be one of the most complicated and controversial transfer deals of next summer. Rodri has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world over the years. He has not only been a major part of Man City's recent successes but is also a key figure in the Spanish national team.

Rodri is considered an irreplaceable player in coach Pep Guardiola's system. His current contract expires in 2027 and Pep Guardiola's expected departure next summer could have a huge impact on the player's future. Rodri may see this as the perfect time to start a new chapter in his career. Real Madrid has many quality midfielders, but they still need an experienced player like Rodri to stabilize the situation in this area. Los Blancos are still looking for a long-term successor to Toni Kroos, and Real Madrid should be planning to sign Rodri next summer. If all goes as they plan.
