La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

I don't think Benzema needs a partner right now. Benzema has young Vinicius as his partner. He is very talented. Now Real Madrid need to replace Benzema. Because Benzema is now 35 years old. If Real Madrid can't find a worthy replacement for Benzema right now, then Real Madrid will face a lot of problems if Benzema leaves the team.

Yeah you're right mate. even though he is not young anymore. but benzema still shows good performance. but still it is true that there must be a candidate who could potentially replace Benzema's position. because even though Benzema is still showing maximum ability and performance, age can't be fooled. so it is important to look for potential players who can replace benzema someday. maybe Tammy Abraham can be included in the list that has that potential. because I watched Tammy Abraham quite well and had good potential.

Tammy Abraham is now Mourinho's golden child. it is not difficult for Madrid to overcome the price of Tammy Abraham. but I don't think Roma will let him off that easily.
Tammy Abraham also got the attention of United who wanted to buy him. but I think Tammy Abraham is still comfortable playing in Serie A.

Real Madrid are still silent about making transfers these days. Maybe they are thinking that their current squad is good enough. However I think that they had better sign a promising striker now. Benzema would be the main striker again next season but I think this will stay like this for only that season. After that Real Madrid would prefer a younger and solid centre-forward in his position.

Yes, Benzema will still remain their striker through out next season because he has demonstrated well during the championship league competition that made them to defeated Manchester city in the semi final. Real Madrid coach will still allow Benzema to play in this season and next season before they will bring in new young talented striker that will handle his position very well to keep the team stronger in any competition. I think, Real Madrid president will like to sign in new potential players from the age of 24 or 20 that will help the team to perform well in next season to help them to achieve all the victory from La Liga league competition.

[Gosgosking]

Benzema is very professional and Real Madrid can use him and rely on his goals in 2 or 3 more seasons. Maybe after 2 or 3 seasons, they will get Mbappe or Haaland because I think one of these players will move if they don't get what they want in PSG and Manchester City, Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

Benzema is the polar of Real Madrid , Real Madrid rely on him to have more goals, they rely on him to win trophies.  Benzema is just too good for real madrid,  it is very sure that him playing for Real Madrid the club will always come first in performance.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think they also need a central midfielder to replace Modric. Although Modric still looks very agile, Anceloti needs updating. Benzema is still good but having a potential replacement is not wrong I think it will be profitable to start now. The senior madrid players on average may effectively play 3 years again. Maybe your thoughts are the same as mine, being afraid to start with young players. Madrid will fail in the transition period.

They have actually made their move to replace not only Modric but also Kroos already. Tchouameni has been brought to the team and he is the future of Real Madrid midfield together with Camavinga. I don't know if they would play side by side in the starting eleven already now but they are going to do so soon. Real Madrid are caring about making the team younger a lot. It is the key for them to be successful in the long run as well.

In this respect I like what Madrid are doing. They are aware that their current midfielder is not young anymore and it is even reported that Kroos has said that he will not renew his contract at Madrid so it takes regeneration to maintain their balance in midfield.
Currently their midfielders are quite complex because young players and old players are quite balanced in terms of ability.
There are generations of Kroos, Casimero and Modric who are indeed the best generations for now but indeed there are Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde who can be used for regeneration for a good future.

Chelsea demand £7m to sell as Azpilicueta agrees bumper Barcelona contract. Barcelona, even though they have crippling debt, they are still linked with almost every player in the world at the moment. They still have high ambitions and will to improve the squad. Barcelona have agreed to pay high wages for Azpilicueta while asking Frankie de Jong to take a pay cut. 

[Marvell1]

Barcelona did everything possible to survive in the midst of the crisis, with the option of cutting player salaries and then asking senior players to contribute again. It looks like their last choice. Don't want to be left far behind and hope that senior player whose productivity is no longer competent are made a runaway. However, I think Barcelona could suffer a setback. A young player who has just been added in less than a year will feel unfit to be there with an uncertain future.

But with this salary cut it is a double-edged sword considering they have been doing it for 2 seasons and it seems there are some senior players who are starting to not want this kind of thing anymore and it is now Pique who is getting the most attention.
Now Barcelona are quite critical coupled with the refusal to return the salary reduction, this clearly adds to the burden for them.
On the other hand, they are also increasingly in arrears and continue to be like that in payments which makes their debts getting bigger and bigger.
For young players they can still continue to be there, especially with a clause which is quite crazy so almost no one wants him even though his performance is quite good.

At the same time, Barcelona is trying to make sure that they don't spend too much money on salaries for players. They are also looking for players that will cost them between $50 and $60 million. I don't get the logic behind this. Furthermore, Barcelona cannot keep a player who refuses to take a pay cut. This is because if they accept one person, the others will think that they are also entitled to more money. This is a tough situation for Barcelona. For any young player, it is obviously going to be better to get paid more and not to be at a club that is not financially stable.

El Clasico would be a beautiful if some certain players final moves to Spanish league anytime soon, some names are like Robert Lewandoski and Raphina of Leeds United.
Madrid was more than great last season winning the league with some good points ahead of the opponents.
But as I said comparing Benzema and Lewandoski and Vinicius and Raphina, Pedri and Camavinga. It will be very interesting and fun to watch. If Barcelona get these players then they can challenge for next season.

Without the players you mentioned above, El Clasico is already interesting to watch. The presence of new players in the squad for both teams will give a new color in El Clasico. Barcelona is building a team to be able to compete again with Real Madrid despite the financial crisis, the presence of Christensen and Kessie became a new strength for Barcelona. They are also trying to complete the transfer of Raphina in order to provide competition in the hunt for the La Liga and Champions League trophies.

Real Madrid had a very good squad last season so they didn't improve much this season, I think that's very reasonable.
different from Barcelona who want to improve for the better because they failed last season. Many signings have been made by Barcelona this season but that does not guarantee that these new players can adapt quickly and fit into Barcelona's style of football because most of the players brought in by Barcelona are not from La Liga club clubs.
Meanwhile, for El Clasico itself, I have no doubts that it will be fierce even though Lewandoski did not join Barcelona, because the rivalry between these two clubs has always had high tension.

Yes, everyone expects that the El Clasico match is more lively, than the previous season. Where both teams can give each other a serious threat. I didn't see that in some of their meetings in previous seasons. But this season there is hope, something lost will come back again. Actually we just have to wait for Barcelona, because Real Madrid are ready for that.

Barcelona's rumour about trying to sign Bernardo Silva seems like real. Mundo Deportivo also shows that Barcelona are really after him now. However this deal could be very expensive for Barcelona at the same time. Because his contract ends in three years and has a value of 80 million euros in the transfer market. I wouldn't expect Manchester City to demand an amount way below his value now. As Barcelona are after Raphinha also I don't think they can afford both of them.

Plus, Real Madrid have already released attacking midfield, Isco this season and maybe it's Luka Modric's turn next season because if I'm not mistaken his contract will expire next June, so Madrid must be prepared to find a replacement, so far only one midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has been brought in from Monaco.

Real Madrid doesn't need to look for a replacement for Modric since they have Federico Valverde who plays at the same position. Valverde performed quite impressive in the last season, he deserves to be the successor of Luka Modric. For future midfielders, Real Madrid won't be afraid because they already have the successors of their 3 main midfielders (Casemiro, Kross, Modric). Tchouameni, Camavinga, and Valverde are their future midfielders, these players will be the key players on the midfield line of Real Madrid. I only a bit doubt on Real Madrid attacking line since they still can't find the sucessor of Benzema.

I don't think that Real Madrid needs to stress too much about their squad. From my perspective, they have a very good squad and a very strong attacking lineup. Despite not getting Mbappe or Haaland, they do not have to worry, since they did well with the same lineup last season. The team does have a little bit of concern about defense, but that has also been solved with the addition of a new player.

For now it may be true, because they are still reinforced by the majority of players who brought great success to Real Madrid. But over time they will definitely decline due to age. That's what Real Madrid have to anticipate, but so far I've also seen them prepare well by adding a lot of young players.

Benzema is very talented and experienced. The most important thing is that his fitness is excellent. And he can perform the entire season without getting injured. He is a regular scorer. And can change playing conditions in any season. For at least the next two seasons, Real Madrid will be able to rely on Benzema if Benzema's fitness is good.

Benzema is still very much needed by Ancelotti next season, he can be a good mentor for Vinicius Jr up front. The combination of tactics played by ancelotti last season was a mix of young players and old experienced players and it has proven they can be very successful last season. then the figure of Benzema became an important point for real madrid last season and he also made a big contribution for real madrid, I might say that the golden age of benzema was last season.

Yes, they have succeeded in concocting tactics by placing players of different generations. But what is more important is that their young players are playing very well and can follow input from their seniors. Because usually young players are still in a high ego phase. But I didn't see that at Real Madrid last season, which means their players both understand and want to work together for the team.

Dembélé agreed to play at Barcelona until the summer of 2024, while accepting a 40% cut in his wages. This is good news for the club, but as far as I remember, initially Dembele's salary requests were much higher, he just ended up in free agent status and did not find better options so Barcelona took advantage of. As I said, this is good for the club, but there is a possibility that Dembele will feel cheated and this will bring discord into intra-team affairs.

why does dembele feel cheated if barcelona offer has clearly cost him in terms of wages I mean he should take a pay cut. Barcelona doesn't seem to be putting too much pressure on Dembele to accept their offer. So Dembele decision has been well thought out and both parties have accepted a fair deal. if he felt uncomfortable he certainly wouldn't have signed a new contract. So far there has been no point of agreement between the two parties on the Raphinha issue.

I can’t say that I remember exactly all the details of the negotiation process, but it seems that the situation was such that Barcelona’s last offer for Dembele was less than the penultimate one. As you understand, if a player was forced (as the circumstances were, I'm not talking about direct coercion) accepted an offer that was worse than the previous one, this will not add loyalty to him (even if it is completely his fault/mistake in the negotiation strategy).

Carlo Ancelloti is this kind of coach that always go for the best results and it have keep him going in the past years. Real Madrid squad now, are unstoppable because of the combination of both young and old players. Madrid games are fun to watch especially in the champions league. Their Frontlines is well arrange with their midfield and defense. Having Benzema in front support by Vinicius is one good duo in football because Vinicius will do all the run ups while Benzema will execute a brilliant finished, not just that, Federico Valverde also do a great job for the team. Meanwhile the Midfield is sharp because Modric and Kroos are there to always give back to back crosses and assists to the Frontlines.

Vinícius Júnior claimed has been signs new contract until 2027 although this news hasn't published yet but transfer guru Fabrizio Romano believe the agreement is already deal and he deserved for this contract because since arrived in 2018 last season is the best achievement for him that in all competitions he scoring 22 goals and score important goal for Madrid while against Liverpool on champion league final and besides him Rodrygo Goes also will get new contract

Because young players have minimal flight time so their ego are always high, Vinicius Junior Brazilian youth player career is still long and with Real Madrid he will be very great in the future, maybe one of the players that many big clubs are targeting in the future. I think Benzema will probably stay at the club until Real Madrid find the right striker to replace him.
