La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[herurist]

Lewandoski has also set his eyes on the golden boot and Ballon d'or. I think he's closer to the Ballon d'or at in Barcelona than when he was at Bayern Munich. Wining the Ballon d'or would be more possible at Barcelona next season.

Why do you think that, have you forgotten that there are better players in other teams than Lewandowski at Barcelona? What do you think about Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and some of the other players in the Premier League, do you believe they don't have good chances?

Lewandowski's target is to be the top scorer, that's much more realistic to be true than the Ballon D'or. Lewandowski is currently the top scorer in Laliga, so if he consistently scores goals then he can win it this season.

They are indeed quite good young players but on the other hand Lewandowski has also been a strong candidate at times and even I can call Lewandowski the king without a crown for now considering a few seasons ago even when talking about the Ballon d'Or there was some debate about Messi and him to date.

His productivity in goals is undeniable and that is a fact. but when you look further, the Ballon d'Or can still be won for him.

Haaland or De Bruyne has a chance to win Ballon D'or if Man City wins both EPL title and UCL title. It is also the same as Lewandowski, I doubt he will win Ballon D'or if Barcelona can't win any title this season. In my opinion, Ballon D'or isn't only determined by the goal numbers or assist numbers of a player but the success of his team will be also considered. So, which player who probably wins Ballon D'or, will be determined by which team to be the most successful this season.

There's more to Balon D'or than just being a top scorer. Lewandowski will have to first win the la Liga, UCL or, even better, Wordcup on top of being a top scorer. Also, to some extent, popularity of a player matters. Imagine if in the same period Messi wins world cup plus the French league 1, do you think Lewandowski would stand a chance?

Lewandowski has more attraction than Messi right now.
Messi time is gone even if he is playing good since attention on Ligue 1 is less than La Liga. Nevertheless, winning CL with PSG while performing great could let him get a chance to grab Ballon d'Or again. World Cup is the other opportunity but harder to achieve. Getting these two will grant the gold

Next month, Barca will face Madrid in El Clasico, but what is worried is the health of the players who are currently playing for their respective countries. the news that was heard was that he was seriously injured while playing for his country, hopefully it won't affect his performance in the el clasico later.

Which players are injured from Barcelona squad? I didn't hear any issue related to injury players from Barcelona squad. I think you are too worried about the matches of the players' respective countries. I am sure that Xavi already tells the players to keep their fitness considering the upcoming EL Classico. Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Dembele look in a good condition to play in the upcoming El Classico. But Real Madrid really has a problem with Benzema, he seems still gets injured.

I don't carelessly post here, I read news about injured Barca players here;

in this article what is called the "FIFA virus". and we know that kounde has become one of barca's mainstays in the back line, he is a defender that xavi really needs in the el Clasico match later.

Of course the Ballon D'or does not only look at the individual performance of the player, but also the appearance of the club and also the player's
country into consideration. If we look at the candidates for the Ballon D'or there are a few names that catch my eye, I have no doubts about
the quality of Haaland, De Bruyne and also Lewandowski. But I think there is one more player who deserves the Ballon D'or, the player is
Karim Benzema, unfortunately in the last few games he could not strengthen Real Madrid because he was still injured. But if Benzema recovers
from injury and can put in a great performance like the previous season, I believe Benzema is the strongest candidate to win the Ballon D'or,
especially since Real Madrid's performances this season have been very consistent.

Losing Depay might not be too much of a problem since Lewandowski is still there, but Kounde is a pretty vital player for them right now.
On the other hand there is news that De Jong also had a slight problem with his foot but in the match he was withdrawn as a precaution so that it doesn't get worse.
This will obviously be a bit problematic for Barcelona because in this case their schedule is packed and El Clasico is in sight now.

The problem is can he do something like that? The Champions League matches its current name, and is filled by every club that is indeed the best in their respective leagues.
Putting everything else aside, the EPL and La Liga teams currently dominate quite a bit in the Champions League and even though PSG is a big team and there are a lot of star players there, the Champions League is not that simple to win.

Real Madrid were able to maintain a perfect start to the season, having won over Mallorca 4-1. Late goals from Rodrygo and Rudiger firmly put Madrid in the lead. With this victory, Ancelotti's team remains at the top of the standings.

Real Madrid host Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday ahead of the derby against Atletico Madrid four days later.

Yes, so far this season Real Madrid is the only team that has had perfect results with consecutive wins, but maybe Real Madrid's first obstacle is against Atletico. Because even though Real Madrid are unbeaten so far, Real Madrid still haven't played against tough teams. So yes, with Real Madrid having to play against Leipzig in the Champions League it is still not easy even though the opponent is Leipzig, because the match in the Champions League certainly has high prestige so Ancelotti is required to make the right rotation so that the results obtained are still good results when playing against Atlético.

Madrid have a perfect record so far, six wins, one of which was in the Champions League match against Celtic. although in this match Madrid did not play Karim Benzema but Madrid was able to conquer Mallorca with a landslide score. next, Madrid will host Leipzig in the Champions League match although it is not a too heavy opponent but it looks like Madrid will not relax the game in the match later.

What concerns us is the game next week, against Atletico Madrid. and not an easy one for Ancelotti's squad, Diego Simeone's squad are slowly starting to get into shape. This match is a formidable opponent for Real Madrid because ATM will provide quite a fierce resistance in the match later.

Yes, you are right, what seems to be true is that Ancelotti has a very good strategy to be able to be in the games successfully, however in the UCL and in the League I think that Madrid can finish with a very good position, and be careful if I don't know if he has the orejona again, for now the League is dominating it, Barcelona already has a very good team and apparently they have good confidence in their coach and that is something that is very important, the players are getting along and they have enough to prove

I think that the UCL is the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to be the main monarch and show that they are the best, they already did it, but now if they achieve everything against the best clubs in Europe, nobody will be able to say more.

Next month, Barca will face Madrid in El Clasico, but what is worried is the health of the players who are currently playing for their respective countries. the news that was heard was that he was seriously injured while playing for his country, hopefully it won't affect his performance in the el clasico later.

This is one of the things that sometimes worries a lot about the players who are in the big clubs, it is a pity that it is difficult for that player to play in his national team, for me these things like how they are handled in PSG, many fans began to criticize the PSG coach when he began to take Messi out to rest as a substitute, then they also began to take out Ney, and in a press conference the mime said that he was taking them out because he also thought that they are a fundamental piece of his countries and that their countries need it, that they should understand that, and that they should not harshly criticize it for it. Regarding this, I start to think and I think that Ten Hag has done great favors to CR7 by not putting him on occasions to play for punishment, that punishment may be a blessing.

Why do you think that, have you forgotten that there are better players in other teams than Lewandowski at Barcelona? What do you think about Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and some of the other players in the Premier League, do you believe they don't have good chances?

from injury and can put in a great performance like the previous season, I believe Benzema is the strongest candidate to win the Ballon D'or,
especially since Real Madrid's performances this season have been very consistent.

Well, I wouldn't trust much with FIFA's decisions with the Ballon d'Or, how many times by FIFA's preference did they give the Ballon d'Or to Messi and not to the others who most deserved it? If they are consistent in what they proclaim, the Ballon d'Or should go to Benzema even if he is + injured, he is the League champion, he is the UCL champion, what else can he expect? With all this, it is reason enough for them to give him the Ballon d'Or, now it would be too much to dismiss it if they gave it to someone else, because if that is the case, let's just remember the time that Lewa deserved the Ballon d'Or and they gave it to Messi, because there if FIFA was noticed the total bias.


Well here this article is good to remember all this and take a walk through the history of the current ballon d'or:

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern? Which club do you join if you want to win the Ballon d'Or?

The 34-year-old -- who did win back-to-back men's FIFA The Best awards in 2020 and 2021, while also picking up the 2021 Striker of the Year award at the Ballon d'Or ceremony -- signed for Barcelona for €45 million this summer and has said that his decision was at least partially influenced by a calculated plot to improve his chances of finally getting his hands on the Ballon d'Or itself.

"I know that Barcelona is the team where the most players have won it. I think the path is shorter from Barca than from Bayern," the Polish poacher told Marca.

This is going to be very interesting, will it be Benzema or Lewa? these things are getting very interesting.

Lewandowski has more attraction than Messi right now.
Messi time is gone even if he is playing good since attention on Ligue 1 is less than La Liga.

It is not that he is better than Messi, that he is in a team that is giving all the possible support, it is something else, it is taken into account that here any player can be the best with the help of his team, but Benzema due to the recent injury It does not mean that it is painted on the wall, for many the name of Lewa shines a lot because they are fans of Barcelona, but I think that Lewa still lacks many merits, it would be good to wait.

The era for messi is gone after he was leaving from barcelona. There are some news that were disclosing about agreement if messi was going out from barcelona. Im a bit surprised to see that there are total 8 agreements for messi's transfer.
Lewandowski has been getting more attention caused by he was a new player in the barcelona but he was able to helping the team to make any goal that can make the team to win the match.
That's why public was also considering him as a potential player other than messi who has been going out to the PSG due to the financial reason in barcelona.

One last shot for messi to get the world cup trophy and probably the last ballon d'or as well but yeah i agree that this time lewandowski might grab that ballon d'or as he waiting under the shadow of prime cristiano & messi for years despite his excellent season after season , this time with barcelona in la liga ... it's the greatest time to achieve that.

So far so good for lewandowski who has netted 8 goals out of 6 matches + 2 assist , time will tell though.

It seems like not aple to aple to compare Messi and Lewandowski right now in Barcelona. Because the era of Messi and also Ronaldy has been over. Right now, it seems that the era of Lewandowski and Benzema in the two big clubs of Barcelona and also Real Madrid.Both really ahve good speacialty and become the star of each club.

In group C, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are good candidates to qualify for the last 16 in my opinion, but Barcelona must try to get maximum points in the next 2-3 matches. For matchday three, Barcelona will away match to Inter, so they have to do everything to win later.

No doubt, although Barcelona was defeated by Bayern, I do believe that Barcelona will be runner-up at least in the group and will be qualified for the next step. Although we cannot deny that INter is actually also a string team, we can see how they're performed so far in the league and also UCL, they performed inconsistently. So, I think Barcelona deserves more to be qualified.

Sevilla - Atletico Madrid is an attracting game next week.

Sevilla are in a really bad condition. But when it comes to this kind of big games we don't know what can happen. Sevilla have been quite dominant against them in the recent years. Atletico Madrid couldn't defeat them for four years in this stadium. And Sevilla won the last two head-to-head games here also. This doesn't mean that I will bet on Sevilla of course because it is very risky now. Atletico Madrid's performance against Real Madrid was really promising. If they keep this up in this game too then they might have a chance to break a leg. Both teams to score is my choice of bet for this one.

That game is really going to be a tough one,and gradually, Athletico are beginning to pick form.They have a good team and a good coach,but when a team loses form,there is nothing you can do about it.They will be locking horns with a strong side which is Sevilla,and the game will be so tough because Sevilla will never want to loose that game nomatter what,and likewise Athletico,who are just regaining their form.They now play a very interesting football,so if they should have that believe and winning mentality in this game,they can end up winning despite the record Sevilla holds against them.

Yeah but i think that even if that was not apple to apple but people know about that since lewandoski has come to the camp nou and it was changing the atmosphere from the club to be even better. He was helping the team to scoring so many goals against various opponents except the big team like bayern. Messi can back again to the barcelona as long as barcelona has good financial but this is impossible for barcelona to paid whole of debt.
So far the income for the club was always decreasing since more shares already sold to the various companies.

Atlético Madrid was the team that played more effectively in the Real Madrid match and made more attacks.  Sevilla is in really bad condition.  The team has entered a downward trend compared to previous years.  They are currently ranked 15th in the league and this is a ranking that surprises everyone.  Atletico Madrid will definitely turn the situation of this Sevilla in their favor and win the match.  It also seems from the style of play they are playing that they are aiming for the top ranks this year.  They have a very attacking and winning style.  If they can solve their problems in defense, they can move up to the top.

Messi has got everything during his career at Barcelona, he is now one of the living legends who are most loved by the Camp Nou public. While Lewandowski has just carved out his career at Barcelona, so I think Lewandowski can't be compared to Messi because he hasn't made any achievements for Barcelona.
The presence of Lewandowski can help Barcelona in terms of scoring goals, since his arrival from Bayern Munich he has become one of the players who have scored the most goals for Barcelona, of course this is very good for Barcelona in achieving its mission this season. Being in the runner-up position in the list of La Liga standings is a good achievement for a team led by Xavi Hernandez, Lewandowski and friends only two points adrift of Real Madrid in first place.

Sevilla's situation was worse last season too. Last season they were at the top of the points table only because of their strong defense. They were able to continue their steady performance due to their strong defense. But their defense has been very weak this season and they are now 15th in the points table. In 6 matches they managed to score only 3 goals and conceded 7 goals.

Depay position more likely as a winger so there are several players who can covered his position such as Raphael if he cannot play so losing him aren't big problem for Barcelona and this news just appears today that besides De Jong other players such as Araujo also got injured and so far total 4 players who suffering injured and De Jong is very important player for Barcelona so losing him is big lost because Barcelona had faces tight schedules for upcoming matches and this why some of European managers doesn't liked international break because they do not want their players return to the clubs with injured issues

Comparing Messi and Lewandoski doesn't sound cool at all. Messi is a Midfielder and yet He competed with top strikers for goals in Barcelona. Lewandoski is top 9, Like it's his duty to get goals no matter how difficult the match seems. Messi and Ronaldo were been compared then because both are Midfielders who did so much for their respective clubs in the laliga and currently their era has passed. The main focus now is Lewandoski and Benzema but it seems Benzema might fall out of the race because of his injury

[rahmad2nd]

Depay position more likely as a winger so there are several players who can covered his position such as Raphael if he cannot play so losing him aren't big problem for Barcelona and this news just appears today that besides De Jong other players such as Araujo also got injured and so far total 4 players who suffering injured and De Jong is very important player for Barcelona so losing him is big lost because Barcelona had faces tight schedules for upcoming matches and this why some of European managers doesn't liked international break because they do not want their players return to the clubs with injured issues

The international break has long been a scourge of the club. Injury to players while defending the national team is quite common, as a result, clubs are disadvantaged because they have to lose important players.
Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay were sent home by the Netherlands, both injured before playing. as well as Jules Kounde who was sent home by the French more quickly under similar conditions. Furthermore, Ronaldo Araujo was injured in the Uruguay-Iran match.

However, there is no certainty regarding the condition of the four Barcelona players. If the injury isn't serious, I don't think Barcelona are in any trouble even though they have a very tight schedule next month.
Barcelona still has players who are fairly evenly matched between the core players and the second tier. however, if these four players have to take a long break due to injury, it is clear that this is very detrimental for Barcelona to face the next matches.
