La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[abhiseshakana]

Losing several players made it difficult for ZIDANE to choose which players to play in the first minute, Even though there are some core players who are still fit, but rotation must be done due to fatigue. The draw in last night's match was a very painful blow to Real Madrid. because they failed to keep their distance from the atletico who were ranked first.

Each coach will feel stress when a lot of players injured, especially if it happens at the end of the competition, and at the same time, they must be able to maintain their performance in order to become a champion.

Real Madrid has to carry the extra burden because they also have to compete in the Champions League. With their current condition, a sensible choice would be to focus on just one competition (La Liga or Champions League).

I think it is unlikely that Atletico Madrid will give up the championship this season. This is the only trophy they can still win. Barcelona took the King's Cup, Atlético should take La Liga. And Real Madrid better concentrate on the Champions League. Moreover, Zidane has a very limited number of players.

You are right, after Barca successfully won the Copa del Rey, ATMs are automatically encouraged to maintain their position in the La Liga...
Madrid must also think so, they will be busy wanting a championship league trophy instead of being too focused on la Liga, Madrid are in second place until the end of the league I think is good enough.

Real Madrid have very big problems with injured players , and if they manage to win the Champions League, it will be a very big miracle with such losses in the team. I could be wrong, but I think that this year, Real will be left without trophies and Zidane should not be fired for this, his fault is not here.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

Yes, playing on multiple fronts is too tiring for the Real players, besides, Real is a team that short of players, infect covid-19, get injury, by suspension­, what a disastrous football team.

They should have given a break before they broke themselves with serious injuries. La Liga can be forgotten and it will do help Real Madrid to win Champions League with best player resources.

Zidane officially talked about the physical pressure on his players and I think he will try to focus on Champions League.

Giving up  La Liga, and focusing on Champions League is absolutely a good idea i think. What Real need to do is defeating Chelsea and the final opponent. In consideration of Real has a very high final winning rate, it is a great possibility that Real win the Champions League.

Agree, if I were Zidane and could choose, I would try to focus on the international competitions. Atletico de Madrid seems to be quite difficult to deal with this year and it is a team known for fighting hard for every point. International competitions are never easy but on a year like this, they help much more the finances of next year, possibly without the COVID restrictions or with a lesser version of them.

I agree with you all. Real Madrid hold a record of total trophies in Champions League. They have very good rate to win final matches. The challenge for them is Chelsea and if they manage to beat Chelsea, they have very high probability to win Champions League. History has its importance and support for Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos will leave the club and the generation with many players who play with Ramos over the past decade will leave the club soon. The trophy in this season can be the last outstanding moment from them.

Real always knew based on the individual quality of their players, reputation and experience to make the maximum and win the Champions League, even when they were not the best in every match.
That is why I believe that they have a good chance to win the Champions League this season as well, because they simply have that winning mentality and confidence needed to succeed.
I think it will be more difficult for them to win the Spanish championship and if they run out of trophies Zidane will no longer be Real's coach next season.
In such big clubs, failure is not forgiven.

Not possible for any big club involved in a lot of competitions. They would like to, but sometimes injuries are unavoidable (look at Hazard for example I guess his body is just too weak and keeps breaking with or without rest).

Asking Real to forget La Liga is like asking football to stop. Not going to ever happen, CL or no CL.

[Karartma1]

"And eventually these 'gurus' of the 'powerpoint' SuperLeague will come out of the '5am bar', from the 'underground' drunk on selfishness and lack of solidarity." the words of Javier Tebas, president of La Liga on twitter, who commented on the news of the possible imminent birth of the SuperLeague by some of the world's top clubs. "Uefa, the European Leagues and our La Liga are already working and will soon give their answer," Tebas quipped.
Let's see what they come up with.

The busy competition schedule has indeed made it difficult for several big teams to rotate players and inevitable player injuries. Even Toni Kroos
once complained about playing like a slave, because the competition schedule was too close together. That's why Real Madrid is one of those
affected by this, for Real Madrid winning La Liga is as important as winning the Champions League. I agree that there is no way for Real Madrid
to forget La Liga.

It's not about the number of games during the season. It's about the number of players in the team. There are a lot of them in Real Madrid, but the level of players was too different. In fact, Zidane had 14 people who could play at the same level. With this number of players hardly who could count on titles at the end of the season and it's fantastic that Real Madrid is still fighting for La Liga and the Champions League.

Real Madrid lost points against Getafe away last week (0-0). And I can't say that they showed a good performance. Getafe could have even won the match. Atletico have increased the gap to 3 points with them. But Barcelona haven't played a match last week. It's an opportunity for them to get ahead of Real Madrid again.

Real Madrid played very poorly in their last match in La Liga against Getafe.

Statistics show that they have more than 55% possession of the ball, but their attempted shots are totally against their possession.

Getafe only had 41% of the ball, but their shots were 19, and 6 were shot on target.

Real Madrid has a lot of possession of the ball, but it's Getafe who has a lot of attacking. Very Paradox.

Too busy to watch this match and perhaps I have the feelings that Real would win. Sadly, they only have a tied match. It feels like they are shooting at their own feet. Maybe it is because of the Super league which makes them distract from the current target. Nevertheless, they still have a pretty long undefeatble matches in a row. I can only hoope the best for them. If they keep losing point on easy match, aletico will soon become the champion

I don't see any indication like that, the ESL competition has not started yet, So it doesn't make sense that Real Madrid will focus more on ESL. Now every game Real Madrid plays will be an important game for them. Losing 2 points against Getafe made Atletico more comfortable at the top of the standings. If Real Madrid wants to get a double winner this year, real madrid has to win all the games they are going to play.

It proves that having more ball possession is not the only thing needed for a win. Getafe got many more goal chances and had a much bigger effort than Real Madrid. I really don't know how Real Madrid played so bad in this game.

This is the problem for Real Madrid this season, their substitutes are not at the same level as the first players. Especially for the front lines,
no one is on the same level as Benzema, therefore Madrid this season is too dependent on Benzema. That's why there are lots of rumors
circulating now that players linked to Real Madrid, because Real Madrid needs some new players for next season if they are serious about
being able to compete with other big teams. But the pandemic situation that occurred, made Madrid unable to buy many Star players next season.

Real Madrid were lucky to go out of that match with 1 point, Zidane has to figure things out now, in the last matches of a championship when gaps are small, it's really important to keep performing the best and play every game as if it's a final, it seemed likz Getafe were the ones playing for the championship, Real Madrid needs to step it up to compete against two huge teams.

[kawetsriyanto]

Real Madrid lost points against Getafe away last week (0-0).

Not totally lost all points, they just get 1 point from the match. However, it is very unfortunate because they miss the chance to get 3 points against a weak team like Getafe. I don't think it is because of the best performance of Getafe, but it is caused by Real Madrid players who cannot play effectively. They actually can control the match since they won the ball possession, but I don't know why they just made 2 shots on goal. It is too bad!!

1 or 2? I think they lost 2 points. And at this moment each point is very important. If Barcelona can beat Getafe in their next match, then Barcelona will be 1 point ahead of Real Madrid. And then Atletico Madrid will be 2 points ahead of Barcelona. Every point is very important if your goal is to win the title.

[Cnut237]

True. And I think Atletico have a decent run of 'easy' fixtures now, which on the back of that 5-0 win last time should be just what they need to keep themselves at the top of the table. They have Athletic Club, who haven't won a league game for ages, and Huesca and Elche, who are right down near the bottom of the table. If they can get 3 wins from 3 games there, which shouldn't be beyond them, then Atletico will be in a great position coming up to the crucial game after that, vs Barca.
