La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Avirunes]

Since Ansu Fat has been considered a replacement for Messi, it is natural that we would expect gameplay like Messi from Fati. But we didn't see good gameplay from Fati last season. Torres and Aubameyang's performance was better than Fati's. I personally don't think Ansu Fati will be a worthy replacement of Messi. Barcelona must consider a more experienced striker if they really want to get a worthy substitute for Messi.

Fati is 19 years old and he has made into the first team wearing that #10 jersey. It's lot for him to handle with such pressure but honestly cut him some slack. He is a great talent and is developing slowly. Nobody just develops into a top world class player in a snap. Also Fati has went through series of injuries and I hardly think he made appearances in double figures. I am sure once he is fit, he will starting to show something out there on field.

Torres and Aubameyang were fit and hardly hit by any injury. Plus they have good experience also so no wonder their performances were better than Fati but we are forgetting that Fati didn't had good fitness levels due to which he didn't made much appearances in this past season.

The squad with Lewandoski won't be looking so sharp as it should be
With Lewandoski they can win the League but not the Champions League
Barcelona needs the introduction of Xavi to save them from goin below fourth position.
They will have a better season this time around.

You mean if Lewandowski was part of Barcelona, he wouldn't be like he was at Bayern Munich, in the sense that his form would drop? I'm not sure about this, but indeed Lewandowski will need to adapt if he does join. What you say may be true, because at Bayern Munich he has a good supply of balls, but I haven't seen it in Barcelona.

There is no guarantee that after arrival here in Barcelona Robert Lewandowski will perform as he has done in Bayern Munich because change of country and style surly have some impact on every player and this can happen to Robert Lewandowski as well.

Right now it's the biggest concern for Barcelona and relative player, but we have to wait for last decision from Bayern Munich management what they decide about this because they will check all their own concerns, and they will give green signal about this transfer right now nothing positive happening which is surely not good for player because this can bring some negative impact on his performance for next season if they are not allowing this transfer.

Bayern Munich is keen to keep Lewandowski in the squad. But Lewandowski doesn’t want to stay. In that case, I think if Bayern Munich finds a worthy replacement for Lewandowski this season, they will decide to sell Lewandowski this season if they can sign an experienced striker. And maybe we'll see Lewandowski in Barcelona. But if Bayern Munich can't find an alternative to Lewandowski, they may force Lewandowski to stay at Bayern Munich for another season.

Benzema keep priority as regular player for Real Madrid although he ages old and become senior player, I think he has incredible performance last season with top scorer not only La Liga but also on UEFA Champion League give credit points for him become priority central forward for next season. I think not only success with top scorer in La Liga but also Karim Benzema keep dominance on top assist standing were he made 12 assist. Looks not worry for Madrid fans with left chance to get Mbappe because Karim Benzema still enough I think not only for scoring goals but also he can create assist.

One of the factors in the increasing performance of Benzema at an increasingly old age is because the trust that Ancelotti has given to him is very high. Benzema is considered as one of the important players for Real Madrid, he managed to repay the trust given by the coach perfectly. In addition to successfully bringing Real Madrid to La Liga and Champions League titles, Benzema is also the top scorer in the two competitions.

Benzema has just had a special season, the Real Madrid striker won the Golden Boot in the Champions League for the first time in his career. He will continue to do his best in the next season, although Real Madrid managed to bring in a new striker in the summer transfer window, nothing has changed for him because he has grown better and better.

I know a lot of people are saying right now that they have predicted Benzema playing well this season and so on and so forth. But I honestly don’t think anyone expected this type of performance from him.

Benzema is old and I don’t think anyone actually expected him to perform like this. He has performed well because of his hard work and the trust that the club put in him. The most important thing is that he believed in himself. He performed really well and he is surely the best contender for the Ballon d’Or as well. But I highly doubt that we are going to see the same thing from him next season.

So what's your suggestion? Buy Mbappe and Haaland?  You cannot have two Ronaldos in attack or two Buffons as goalkeepers. If circumstances develop in a negative way, then Vinicius will play a clean striker. In the future, Real will look for a replacement for Benzema, but now there is no urgent need for this.

At 34 years old, at least he is still quite capable of playing in the league for 2 more years. It doesn't look like it at the moment, but if Anceloti started from now on it would be good. He will have attacking options and time to adapt. Indeed, when Benzema was injured Madrid was a little weak because there was no pure striker. They have a hard time scoring goals. It happened this season too. If anceloti had the choice, maybe he could get it right away because that's an advantage even though he might have played less minutes.

[Minor Miner]

As City's experience shows, with a strong midline, you can play without a center forward at all and this will not affect performance. Another thing is that Real Madrid plays a different football and it would be nice to have a second striker in the team of the level of Benzema, but this is unrealistic - Benzema is actually the best striker in the world and buying a player of this caliber will cost ~ 150-200 million. I'm not sure that Real need such spending.

I would say Real Madrid need to find a replacement for Benzema right now. Benzema is one of the best strikers in the world. But if Benzema is sidelined with an injury next season, Real Madrid will not be able to replace him. So if Real Madrid want to win the title next season, they must have an experienced striker.

Let's think Real Madrid has signed Haaland to replace Benzema, and Benzema has retired. Do you think Haaland will start a good performance as soon as he joins the Real Madrid squad? It takes a lot of time for a player to adapt to a team. And so at least a season before Benzema leaves, Real Madrid should find a replacement for Benzema and join the squad. Vini is certainly a talented player, he could be Benzema's replacement if Benzema is not in the squad. However, the title cannot be expected based on the performance of just one player.

[lixer]

Real Madrid might not make a significant change in their lineup now. They are just trying to make transfers that can secure their future. They don't need to change the lineup too much also because it is already strong. This lineup became the champions in the La Liga and the Champions League both in the end. On the other hand Barcelona need some touches on their lineup but they don't have too much money to do that. Signing even Lewandowski would be a big step forward but it is ambiguous now. They can still become successful in this league like this but I'm not sure about the Champions League.

Here I agreed right now Real Madrid is having complete package like Manchester City and Liverpool they don't need to do anything just keeping eye on market is enough for them with they are still in good financial position as well and most chances after this season we will have some good changes coming because with good number of changes in Barcelona this can bring some tough competition for next season in La Liga, and they have to check their availability for future most chances we will have some big names in this team in coming years right now Ancelotti can enjoy his trophies which they won in last season specially Champions League which was not expected, but they're done extraordinary job in few matches and thrash giants.

[JeromeTash]

On the other hand, there is information that Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti does not want the player to leave and is ready to do everything to convince Jovic to stay in the team.

I really wonder how he's going to convince Jovic to stay, given the fact that Carlo barely gave him a chance to start matches. There were times when you could see Benzema need to rest, but carlo didn't bother to rotate.

In fact, there's a match where Benzema was side listed due to injury, I think carlo decided to play either Asensio or Rodrygo as a number 9 leaving Jovic on bench.

I think that Carlo Anceloti dosent want him in his team ,i think this are just rumours that they want him to stay. He is so close to leaving the club on a loan that it is just a matter of time before he goes to another club. With how much he played i think he will leave for sure

[G_Besar]

Last season we saw Real Madrid's weak defence. Real Madrid has had to play completely defensively in a number of matches due to poor defence alone. And so this season they have taken Antonio Rüdiger to the team to strengthen the defence. I would say Antonio Rüdiger was successful enough with Chelsea last season and he played well enough in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has signed young Aurélien Tchouaméni. I think Aurélien Tchouaméni is being considered as an alternative to Luka Modrich. If Aurélien Tchouaméni's fitness is good then we will see him for several seasons with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid successfully landed Rudiger and Thcouameni. Many people think this is the right step. Rudiger was brought in for free from Chelsea and he is an experienced player. This is a very big advantage for Real Madrid. Rudiger is believed to add strength in defense, it is likely that Rudiger will be paired with Militao, while Alaba will be shifted to his original position as left back.

Likewise with Thcouameni, he will be prepared as a successor midfielder with Valverde and Camavinga to replace their current best old trio of midfielders. So Real Madrid's recruitment this summer was the right one and I predict Real Madrid will dominate La Liga again.

[RealMalatesta]

Real Madrid will probably experience a slight change because of three of the madrid players like marcelo, isco and bale. Although these three players are rarely seen, at least Marcelo and Isco participated in half of Madrid's matches last season.
And for Barcelona I corrected a bit because they weren't aggressive in signing players this season, there weren't even any new names besides a few loan players, right?

To be fair, how much did they really play? Bale didn't play at all, Isco didn't neither too many times I believe, and maybe Marcelo was the only one who had some. Marcelo played about 800 minutes, on 17 games. Isco played 400 minutes on 17 games as well (mostly last minute bench subs), and Bale had under 300 minutes with just 7 games. So all of them combined do not have as much as one starter, all three totals.

This is why I think these three leaving means absolutely nothing at all. You could literally get some youth team player at age 17 and put them on this bench duty and they would be able to give the team at least this much. Hence, I believe that it doesn't change anything for the team.

[CLS63]

I assume that Real Madrid are going to be favoured for the league title again. They had a really good dominance last season and they would like to keep it up. They have completed nice deals so far Tchouameni and Rudiger. They are trying to keep the squad quality as high as possible. For now I started seeing them as the most reliable team for the title next season. But things can change after seeing the performances. I wonder what Barcelona will do and how they will answer them. Xavi is doing good and we will see if they will keep this going next season too. It'd be lovely to see a good competition between these teams.

[Falconer]

In fact, there's a match where Benzema was side listed due to injury, I think carlo decided to play either Asensio or Rodrygo as a number 9 leaving Jovic on bench.

Asensio and Rodrygo in my opinion are much better than Jovic and that's why they were Ancelotti's options when Benzema was out. I know Jovic is needed sometimes too but I would prefer Rodrygo to get more chances to prove his worth. Obviously Jovic needs a high chance of playing rather than having to sit a lot on the bench, but the competition for the best there has seen him sit down more than play.

[Pokapoka124]

Real Madrid team looks organized at the moment, they have good players and talent as well. The same players who won the league and the champions league are still present and can compete at all levels for the club next season. Lewandoski is one hell of a player but I don't think they need Lewandowski now they have Benzema who is a replica of Lewandowski judging from his form and finishing level, what they need now is to sign 2 to 3 players to replace the outgoing players

[MonsterV]

Real Madrid are the most stable team and I think next season will be no different. In addition, Barcelona are also likely to lose a few players, who they will have to sell because they are in financial trouble and could use every euro. In principle it is almost certain that Frenkie de Jong will leave there, someone of his caliber cannot easily be caught in midfield. And then you need time to put it down again. I think another easy title for Real Madrid.

[judas]

Barcelona are thinking about signing Adama Traore permanently now. The agreement is expected to be around 30 million euros. Honestly I was a little biased about him before leaving Wolves to join Barcelona. I wasn't expecting him to perform much well. But he did really good and it was nice to watch him playing for Barcelona. They must also be happy with his performance that they want to make it permanent. However 30 million is a big amount for them because of the financial issues. They will need to spend their money carefully now.

I don't think this will happen and I still believe Jovic will be Fiorentina next season.
The reason is simple, Jovic was not given many opportunities there, even last season Jovic was only given one chance to compete there.
Fiorentina is definitely worth it for Jovic regardless of what he will be able to start and his position is definitely quite safe there.

In football, the squad in the team may not give you the title but it is the performance of the players and the teamwork they showcase that will determine if a team will win the trophy. Real Madrid has a good number of players no doubt but other teams like Barcelona, Seville, and ATM are also getting good players so that they can compete for the title next season. Barca has some financial issues but selling some players doesn't mean they can not have a good team again I believe they still have some quality players that will perform very well next season .

[Rengga Jati]

And so this season they have taken Antonio Rüdiger to the team to strengthen the defence. I would say Antonio Rüdiger was successful enough with Chelsea last season and he played well enough in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Yes, Real Madrid has fixed their defense problem by signing Rudiger. I think this season they won't have a problem in defense, they have strong defenders now. 2 strong CBs (Rudiger, Alaba), completed with strong and experienced left & right backs (mendy, Carvajal). Real Madrid can be more confident now since all their lines are ready for the new season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has signed young Aurélien Tchouaméni. I think Aurélien Tchouaméni is being considered as an alternative to Luka Modrich. If Aurélien Tchouaméni's fitness is good then we will see him for several seasons with Real Madrid.

Tchouaméni isn't the sucessor for Modric, his main position is defensive midfield. He will be the sucessor for Casemiro. While for Modric, Valverde who is the right player to be his sucessor. Of course, it is good to have Tchouaméni because he will be one of the future trio midfielders in Real Madrid (Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde).

What do you say friend? Barcelona have sent Adama home because he wasn't made a permanent player there and he's gone home and is at Wolves again now.
Indeed, at first Barcelona wanted to sign Adalma at that price but if I'm not mistaken it was at the beginning of Fenruari where he was brought in on loan there.
His performance at Barcelona was not too good so he was returned to Wolves.
