La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[iamsange]

I heard the news about Asensio who is ready to leave Real Madrid because his position is now limited due to being unable to compete with other players like Rodrygo. Indeed, this move has been heard since last summer, several top team names have often been linked with him, such as 2 teams from Italy and 2 other teams from England. But the latest news is that he is also being targeted by Xavi Hernandez to help Barcelona. Marco Asensio himself did not rule out that maybe in the future he would play for Barcelona, but for now he prefers to focus first on Real Madrid.

I still haven't seen any news on this after there was some talk of a contract extension from Madrid a while ago but indeed in this case it is still a bit hindered because Asensio asked for guarantees for him when he extended the contract.
Asensio is actually a pretty good player but indeed in Madrid his position seems to be the same as Isco in my opinion even though he is good but he is indeed less competitive.

Yes, rumors about his departure are often heard. but in my opinion, with the current situation at Real Madrid it seems that Asensio is not allowed to leave. In fact, according to the news, Ancelotti still really wants Asensio and asked the Madrid management to offer him a new contract.

Asensio did not have many playing hours, so that was the reason for him to leave. Ancelotti certainly has to consider playing hours for him and can convince him to stay. But if not, Asensio will leave for another team, and of course Barcelona are very interested in him.

Cristiano Ronaldo don't have a space in the madrid squad, definitely not under Carlo Ancelotti who's looking for young lads that will be doing the impossibilities for the club. Ronaldo is aging and not active as before, watching him play on the pitch in old Trafford is very dissapointing, his pattern of the game doesn't matchup with his teammates, and the coach have been disregarding his presence in the team and even kept him on the bench for such a long time. All Ronaldo needs is a UEFEA team with less stress required of him.

There is no reason for Real Madrid to bring Ronaldo back to the Bernabeu, he is old, he cannot play much longer for Real Madrid. As long as Perez was still president of Real Madrid, it was very rare for him to recruit players who were old.
Ronaldo's presence will not make many changes to the Real Madrid squad, he will only warm up the bench because Ancelotti has more faith in the young players in the Madrid squad. The best solution for finding a replacement for Benzema was already planned when the transfer market reopened, Real Madrid prioritized talented young players rather than bringing in players who were nearing retirement.

I agree with you, in everything
Juventus, for example, took him for a commercial operation, which yielded some money
I honestly wouldn't take it, it's not young and it costs so much

In my opinion, Lewandowski has to bet and he's really very strong

[SatoPrincess]

Benzema seems to have played too much lately. He now has the "advantage" of being able to rest for a few weeks before the competition starts again, but he would much rather have played the World Cup. The nature of the injury seems quite serious to me, as he will not be in action for the entire World Cup. Maybe Real Madrid will also have to fear for his return to Real Madrid? He could be out of action for a few months. Just look at how long Pogba has been out of circulation, for example. That's been almost 4-5 months. Very sour for Benzema, but also for the French team. If Benzema is not fit in time at Madrid, it could also have huge consequences for Madrid's level.

It is every players dream to feature in the world cup and Benzema is no exception to one of those players so he will be entirely disappointing to be sidelined due to injuries at this point in time. The nature of the injury seems quite serious indeed because he has been removed from the world cup list for France in the world cup. It's a shame he will not be able to feature in the world cup this year.

Perhaps the odds have turned in Barcelona's favor after all with Benzema's injury. The fact that Lewndowsky missed a penalty today does not matter for his level. Benzema is better but if you are injured then a team is not much use to you. I also couldn't see exactly how long he will be injured, but it doesn't seem to be a minor injury because he has to miss the entire World Cup. That could be good for Barcelona, although I don't think Barcelona wants to be champions that way. it has been a few years since Barcelona became champion. We can say that it is a little drama.

[hahay]

Atletico Madrid still have a long way to go in the league to be able to reach the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because there is a significant drop in their effort level in the recent seasons. This season is even worse than the previous one I think. Because they had a horrible run in the Champions League. Their performance in the La Liga is also bad now as they are far away from the title competition.

Hopefully Simeone is thinking of some changes in his strategies. Or maybe he might think of leaving at the end of the season. Whichever happens, I just think they need to start playing differently to be more consistent.

With Atlético in that condition, I personally don't believe that Atletico can overtake Real Madrid and Barcelona and yes, I also realize that the league is still long and there is still a long way to go. But Atletico's performance this season is very different from the great performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​I'm sure the two teams will remain consistent in La Liga.
But yes, maybe with Atletico no longer playing in Europe, it's like a loophole for Atletico to be able to improve their quality in La Liga.

But to be a contender in the title race I personally am not completely sure, because if at the same time Real Madrid and Barcelona don't make many mistakes then of course that will be enough for Real Madrid and Barcelona to be far from the teams below them.
Because even the third-placed team currently has a nine-point gap with Real Madrid, I think the gap is definitely difficult for them to get closer to overtaking one and two.

This season, Benzema is very vulnerable, especially for his foot problems, so it is clear that this affects him in playing and of course it is a loss for not going to the world cup, especially at his age.
On the other hand this is also quite dangerous for his career because regardless of anything at the moment he is still very much needed at Madrid and we know Madrid are sometimes merciless when it comes to sending good players away. At the moment, even though Benzema is still very good for La Liga, it is not impossible when he continues to have problems with his foot and cannot play more because the injury is also quite difficult for him to survive unless his body condition starts to improve.

Bad news for Barcelona, Lewandowski got a ban from playing in 3 League games. This is because Lewandowski got a red card and was considered disrespectful to the referee. If counted then Lewandowski will miss games against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Getafe. Of course they will have a hard time. Currently Lewandowski's statistics are very good, 19 games with 18 goals and 4 assists. But I heard Lewandowski will appeal because he thinks it is not insulting to the referee.

This is indeed very unfortunate, especially when looking at other things, there are slanted reports about him who deliberately wanted to get a red card so that he could rest more because he was preparing for the match in the world cup.
A significant loss, especially in this case, their position is still not safe in the standings because it is still closely followed by Madrid.

Intentionally or not it was too much punishment for not being able to play in 3 matches. It seemed that referee Gil Manzano was not in the best of moods at the time.
Lewandoski explained regarding his gesture which was considered insulting to the referee, he said it was shown to the bench and not to the referee. Lewandowski will try to appeal the sentence.
Lewandowski also admits that his debut at Barcelona will not be easy and will go according to plan, but he is trying to give his team the best.

Robert Lewandowski had to go through many hurdles at Barcelona because he is a very professional player so all problems are faced calmly. An unprofessional referee will be carried away with feelings so he cannot think logically as a referee has a logical task, not using emotions.

This will affect the team especially with the current position they occupy in the league which requires them to maintain top performance and winning mentality to remain at the top so losing their key man for three games at this point isn't a good news at all. Xavi will have to find a way to cope without Lewandowski when the league resumes and find a way to win these games with the available players at hos disposal.

this is not at all good news for Barcelona, his engine is really him

I don't understand how a professional can make these mistakes, ok he's making a bad foul. But disrespecting the referee is equivalent to extra days of non-play. Very very stupid.

There is no doubt that Lewandowski is a great player and he is the Hitman of Barcelona for this season and the whole team has depended on him for some time but I challenge us and I have the feeling that Barcelona will be able to win their three League matches without Lewandoski because of his red card. How do we feel that Barcelona cannot play goof football without Lewandowski why there are other great players in the team. If Lewandowski is as strong as we are portraying him to be the engine, why did Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League

Now it only remains to look at Madrid I think because if he is given as many opportunities as he was at the start of last season it could still be maintained for Asensio but if there are no guarantees like that then it is difficult to see Asensio in the Madrid squad because he still has the desire to improve. especially since he is still very young and still growing.
But as a Madrid fan it would be a shame if he left now because he is still very good, especially on the wing.

The situation on the field will be very different from what we see and also, the referee who leads the course of a professional match, of course, the referee is also a professional with a certificate and other supports. I just don't think that referees who lead big matches like Barcelona, ​​are led by unprofessional referees and it doesn't seem to make sense.
Because after all, one's emotions on the field will increase, moreover in this era there are also many referees who experience this and make the same decisions.

Getting red cards is part of football and I don't think Lewandowski should appeal. Because if he doesn't accept the decision, then Lewandowski has no challenge in his career.
At least with the red card obtained can make a big lesson to be even better in the future, as a professional player Lewandowski should be able to accept this and be aware of it.

@hahay Lewandowski is a true professional and I agree with him that this ban is way too harsh, and hopefully it’ll be overturned once the hearing on this ban begins. Furthermore La Liga is completely different to what he was used to, and therefore I believe that it’s only a matter of time before he completely settles and starts scoring goals like he used to do when he used to play for Bayern.

It would be a shame if indeed this is the final decision regarding the ban for playing for Lewandowski. Indeed, on the field sometimes the emotions of players cannot be controlled, so that it will make them act things they really don't want to do. But with the wealth of experience he has he should be able to control himself better and set an example for young players. Because this is not only detrimental to him as a player but also to the team he is defending.

Actually the number of bans was too much. Moreover, Lewandowski did not get a straight red card. This decision is clearly very detrimental to Barcelona. And as a result of the sanction, Lewandowski was absent in important Barcelona matches. Because in these three matches, Barcelona will face difficult opponents. However, Barcelona must make an appeal, because if not the Blaugrana are very threatened in maintaining their current position.

Once again real Madrid found troubles against a weak club, after loosing against vallecano now they strungle to get the 3 points against cadiz, it's seems that this is the worst period in real Madrid season but they still fine and I think they will back stronger after the world cup

The only thing that make real madrid having tough game against cadiz was if real madrid didn't have good striker. Benzema ddn't play against cadiz. You can't even predict that if mediocre team like cadiz sometime will have a good performance to make another team faced hard game but anyway it doesn't matter a lot as long as madrid already won the match against cadiz and securing the full points. There's nothing to be feel worried about that.
Even the fact that cadiz was still at the bottom but it has potential to beat the big team like madrid. there have been so many times big club got defeated by low tier club just like when atletico was getting lose against mallorca.this is how football competition must work

If one of the things for which Real Madrid fails is in that, when there is no key player those things can happen, what happens is that Ancelotti did not manage to see what was coming to him, there was a very strong scheme from Cadiz, and Due to the fact of seeing it as a weak team, the players fell into stress and could not control the game, this happens to all teams at some point, that is not why they are bad and that they will lose everything, the good thing is that Real Madrid gained much more experience and I am sure that they will know how to quickly get out of events like the ones that happened like this.

We'll see the improvements of Real Madrid, I don't see any other way for them to recover but by winning and winning, they have to show why they are champions, and the truth is that I think they will continue to do a better job.

Intentionally or not it was too much punishment for not being able to play in 3 matches. It seemed that referee Gil Manzano was not in the best of moods at the time.
Lewandoski explained regarding his gesture which was considered insulting to the referee, he said it was shown to the bench and not to the referee. Lewandowski will try to appeal the sentence.

Robert Lewandowski had to go through many hurdles at Barcelona because he is a very professional player so all problems are faced calmly. An unprofessional referee will be carried away with feelings so he cannot think logically as a referee has a logical task, not using emotions.

Well, regarding Lewa's gesture, initially I see it as something very temporary and that the referee just wants to seem very important, how can he make a big demand for respect, that is something that would tarnish Lewa and enhance the reputation of a referee. , if this had happened 10-15 years ago, not much would have happened, but today things are not so easy, right now everything or anything that is said or any gesture can make many sensitivities hurt, this is something common and that in reality sometimes I don't understand, however because of the world and the way we are living it, it should be given enough importance to fix it.

In Lewa's case, yes, he would appeal, because things should be as they are, and if he appeals or contradicts that decision or motion of the referee, he is appealing for his sportsmanship and as a person he would be defending himself very well.

[Fesatmas]

There is no doubt that Lewandowski is a great player and he is the Hitman of Barcelona for this season and the whole team has depended on him for some time but I challenge us and I have the feeling that Barcelona will be able to win their three League matches without Lewandoski because of his red card. How do we feel that Barcelona cannot play goof football without Lewandowski why there are other great players in the team. If Lewandowski is as strong as we are portraying him to be the engine, why did Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League

Yes, there are still players who can be deployed to replace Lewandowski's role, but that role cannot guarantee that he will be able to fill the void left. That's actually the problem with his absence from the game. One more thing, his absence is the cause of his mistakes which in my opinion should not have happened, because it is a loss from a problem that we know is something that is prohibited for a player.

[Pokapoka124]

Atletico Madrid still have a long way to go in the league to be able to reach the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because there is a significant drop in their effort level in the recent seasons. This season is even worse than the previous one I think. Because they had a horrible run in the Champions League. Their performance in the La Liga is also bad now as they are far away from the title competition.

Hopefully Simeone is thinking of some changes in his strategies. Or maybe he might think of leaving at the end of the season. Whichever happens, I just think they need to start playing differently to be more consistent.

Obviously Atletico Madrid are in poor form now and have fall short of vital points supposed to keep them at the top 3 spot in the league table. I can't seem to understand what the problem is and why they have been experiencing this drastic drop in form but for what it is I'm also sure Diego Simeone is back to the tactical board and finding possible solutions to the problems of the team.
