La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Furious 7]

In this case I still feel that Benzema will still be the main starting line-up until it is felt that he is no longer capable, regardless of which player later enters when Benzema recovers from injury he will still be Ancelotti's first choice at least until the end of Benzema's contract.
Even though the condition of his feet is currently not possible but we know that Benzema is a frightening figure when he is in the opponent's defense area so with this condition I feel he will continue to be there no matter what happens this season except if his foot condition doesn't allow it.

Even Karim Benzema is one of the best player in Real Madrid squad but keep one thing in mind every thing is replaceable in this world even in games because nothing is permanent, so mostly we will have Benzema as Real Madrid main striker, but they will bring new player as well with the approach of having long term planning because now Karim Benzema is having only 2 or 3 years in game so after this surely Real Madrid also needs a quality player which will help them for having their best performance for the long run.

Now, foremost we have to wait for the next movement of the Real Madrid because right now mostly quality strikers are already settled and nothing is available in market for the better move they have to wait until summer transfer window, but they are looking a player in just few weeks so what is going to cook we have to wait.

I understand this, especially when I'm at Madrid, no matter how good a player is, in the end, it will be wasted, but by looking at Benzema's current condition, when he recovers from injury, he will still be in the core line-up no matter what happens, regardless of whether there are new players or not as a substitute. his options at least for this season.
Except indeed like I said before, he's not very good and not recovering from his foot problem it's a different matter but as long as he recovers I don't think there will be anyone who can replace him this season.

Analysis of Real Madrid's past matches shows that they could barely secure consecutive wins without Karim Benzema. As such, if Benzema is influenced, the whole of Real Madrid is affected.
Seeing that there are several tough matches left for the team to play after the world cup, I think it's high time the Madrid board registers another central forward in the team to back up Karim Benzema, or else the entire Madrid future is at stake.

In terms of finishing, we can say that it is the worst team among the big ones in Europe. This was the reason why they were 3rd in the champions league. They have thousand positions, but they do not contribute to the score. In fact, mane would suit this team very well. I don't understand why they didn't buy this player. This will not work with dembele and ferran torres, they should know that. They went from city to sane place and took a pickaxe player like torres. The managers of this team are really not doing good. The thing the team desperately lacks right now is a classy winger. In fact, the playing styles of barcelona, city and liverpool teams are similar. The reason why barcelona is worse as a team is finishing and they don't have top class wingers. They need a player like neymar. This is not a business to be done with dembele and ferran torres. and they need to bring a top class coach. After Pep left, they couldn't bring a good coach. You look at the list of coaches, none of them are even familiar except for Enrique. For example, if a super coach like Tuchel comes to barcelona they can actually be a great team next year.

@Furious7 I personally agree that Real Madrid need to start planning beyond Benzema, and they should definitely buy one striker right away in the January transfer window. Furthermore even if Benzema returns I feel that he’ll last for maximum 2 seasons at his age, hence this is the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to plan ahead and maybe they could target João Félix what do you’ll think of this transfer?.

They must and tried to buy Mbappe from PSG but failed because of crazy offer of PSG for Mbappe. By following a transfer with Mbappe too long, they also missed Haaland who moved from Dortmund to Manchester City.

I believe that Real Madrid fully aware about the issue of Benzema and did try to prepare for Benzema's less contribution for their club. However what happened with Benzema since this season beginning is very unexpected. He got so many injuries since September and missed so many matches for Real Madrid and France.

About transfer, I did not find good striker who is able to replace Benzema and has a high level like Mbappe and Haaland. Could you share any world class striker who is young too in your mind, please.

if Madrid wants to get a quality striker with the good quality of Benzema, it will be difficult this season. some sharp strikers are hard to come by easily. hard to admit, but maybe Madrid should keep their current squad until the end of the season. if you want to add, I think the option is to look for an attacking midfielder who maybe can cover for Benzema or push Vinicius or Rodrigo. although with this formation, Madrid still can not score goals productively.

[Silence Scream]

Indeed. The problem of having a tight schedule is only available once there is many injuries and less players to rotate. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough players to participate in different games except for one or two positions where it might be hard to find a good substitute, like Benzema case.
Otherwise, the title will remain between these two clubs in La Liga.

Well, I'm not sure that Barcelona will put all its resources into winning the title of the winner of the Europa League and I don't think it will be a great tragedy for the club's management to fail in this matter. Still, I think that the main priority for Barcelona is to win La Liga and if that happens, Xavi will be forgiven for all the other failures.

Absolutely correct sentence. Barcelona will focus on La Liga instead of UEL and will strive to win it. Right now La Liga has become more important to them than UEL. There is a fierce league title race with their arch-rivals Real Madrid and they will try to win this race. In my opinion, Barcelona's chances are very high this year.  And it would be great if they win the UEL.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are one of the greatest rivals in La-Liga. And Laliga is going to start again in a few days. Clubs have already started training. I am sure either Real Madrid or Barcelona will win the La Liga title this time. But it is very important for Barcelona to win the La Liga title from Real Madrid.

The rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid makes La Liga more exciting.  This year there will be a serious championship race between the two.  Barcelona didn't have a claim last year.  They started very badly.  This year, I can say that things are better under Xavi's management.  At the end of the year, I want Barcelona to win the trophy.

[Bobrox]

La Liga matchday 15 of 38 will begin on December 29 opening by Girona vs Rayo Vallecano, several player with their country have eliminated in World Cup 2022 have back to their team and joining training center left two weeks later match restarting. I saw Real Madrid official social media account publishing with Karim Benzema have return back to the team and leaving his national team after got injured.

For country have their player existing in World Cup like Nahuel Molina playing for Atletico Madrid have short time after his country lead to final and last match on December 18. Barcelona and Real Madrid having player in France national team, if possibility lead to final actually their main player return back to the team after World Cup and have few day only before La Liga matchday 15 restarting.

[makishart]

That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now

Any trophy will be very important for barcelona and it doesn't matter what kind of trophy it is. Barcelona was not even able winning europa league and you call that barcelona didn't care about such trophy? Winning the trophy meant barcelona will be instantly qualified for the next season of UCL. Europa league was not so prestige like UCL but it has value. If barcelona can't even win europa league and how can barcelona win the UCL? I think that you must realize the reality if barcelona was not a strong team.
Just because it's quite consistent in la liga and it doesn't mean barcelona already locked the la liga for the current season. The season is till long.

Real Madrid is different from other teams in terms of having Many potential players, Real Madrid can secure their victory in their remaining matches without Karim Benzema, because there are many strikers in Real Madrid that can handle that position very well until Karim Benzema recover from his injury. I don't think, Real Madrid can collapse like Liverpool, because since Liverpool released Sadio mane, their performance started reducing till now but such thing can't happen to Real Madrid, because there are many potential players on ground to maintain the position.

Real Madrid will looking for new striker in January i am sure about that but indeed on winter transfer window it's hard to gets good quality strikers because usually some of clubs weren't sell their players in January and most likely they will sell their striker after league ended or on summer and to cover Benzema position actually Real Madrid still have Rogrygo although he is more likely as a winger but Ancelotti was playing him for centre striker several times and the result is not really bad although he cannot playing well on that position such as Bemzema but i think this is good option for Real Madrid and assuming if Real Madrid failed to buy striker and Benzema still got injured i think this option can be used by Ancelotti for every matches

[Razmirraz]

The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..?
The Europa League trophy is more prestigious than the Domestic league trophy, a team that wins the Europa League has the opportunity to win the European Super Cup, because the scheme will bring together teams that have won the UCL and UEL trophies.
I don't need to explain at length to you, as a football fan, of course you already understand this.

The La Liga title is very important for the Barcelona team. Because they have been eliminated from one of the best tournaments, La Liga. Winning the La Liga title is now crucial for Barcelona to maintain their club image. If Barcelona wins the La Liga title, their club will benefit financially.

Barcelona is not only targeting the La Liga title, the Europa League Trophy is also its target this season after being eliminated from the Champions League. Barcelona only needs to maintain its position at the top of the standings to become Champion, Xavi is eager to bring his first title as a coach to a club that has made a name for himself. There is no doubt about Xavi's greatness as a player, now he has to prove that he can become a great coach by winning several trophies for the club he coaches.

That is a very important thing for Xavi to achieve this season, because Xavi just needs to apply every skill that the team has in a more consistent manner. Because implementing a focus on two competitions to get two titles this season is not easy, Xavi must be able to make Barcelona fight for it this season so that his name becomes a result of this achievement.

Let's see after the world cup is over, will Barcelona still be able to compete with the teams in La Liga and also in the European League. Because the team that entered the Europa League this season is also a team that is not weak.

They have chances to win La Liga and Europa League but I guess they are targeting at La Liga, more than Europa League title. With their current standing (1st position) and good performance, they will not lose a position in top four La Liga. Though they are one of best competitors for La Liga and Europa League, they will have very big challenge to win any of these titles.

In La Liga, Real Madrid will not give La Liga up easily. In Europa League, many big clubs play there including big clubs that failed in Champions League. This make this Europa League season is more competitive than usual.

That is a very important thing for Xavi to achieve this season, because Xavi just needs to apply every skill that the team has in a more consistent manner. Because implementing a focus on two competitions to get two titles this season is not easy, Xavi must be able to make Barcelona fight for it this season so that his name becomes a result of this achievement.

Xavi is under big pressure to win titles for Barcelona but I disagree with this pressure and expectation. Xavi and Barcelona need more time to build up a stronger and more stable squad which is necessary to win titles. It is unfair for Xavi if he will be fired by not winning any title with Barcelona in this season.

He's actually right - the Europa League title is nothing compared to the La Liga title. The fact that the Europa League title gives a direct ticket to the Champions League does not matter, as it will be difficult for Barcelona to fall below 4th place in the championship. I'm sure Barcelona's top priority is La Liga and the Europa League is just a potential bonus. Even for Real Madrid, it seems to me the main thing is to win La Liga and a good performance in the Champions League is a bonus.

Barcelona has two hopes of getting the Trophy this season. but their chances in the Europa league are more difficult when compared to Laliga. Several teams will be waiting for Barcelona in each round where Manchester United will be the next opponent. Xavi does have a pretty good rally with Barcelona this season but one thing left him speechless when Barcelona had to be eliminated from the champions league this season. Barcelona needs time to strengthen the squad to get a trophy this season. It is possible that the transfer window will be excited again with the reshuffle that has occurred in the Barcelona transfer window.

the laliga competition is not as interesting as it used to be when I saw it because only 2 teams looked strong compared to the other teams. if it goes on like this I think that there will be less and less fans or spectators in the Laliga and will be more inclined to watch the EPL.

Overall, don't just focus on how prestigious the trophy will be won, but we have to look at other factors besides that. For example, Xavi is now required to present a trophy to Barcelona, and he will pursue and make it happen even though many here say the Europa League is not more important than the La Liga trophy. But for a team it will be very valuable, especially if they didn't get a trophy in the previous season. And also there is no guarantee they will become champions in La Liga.

barcelona has improved a lot since xavi took charge of the team, there is no doubt about that, but we have to see that this barcelona team does not have the conditions to fight to win the la liga and the europe league at the same time, they will have to prioritize something and leave the other thing aside, of course leaving it aside does not mean not playing, but they will have to put less important players when they are league games that they are not prioritizing, I say that for the following reason: barcelona depends on the lewandowski, so barcelona has games in the league, then in the champions league, knowing that in the league they are at the top and can be champions, so xavi will not risk putting lewandowski in the europe league game knowing that if he put lewandoski in the europe league game and if he is injured then barcelona could lose points in la liga, and in the europe league there are many other strong teams that do not guarantee anything that barcelona can be champion, it is much easier for barcelona being champion of la liga than the europa league, so prioritizing la liga is the most sensible thing to do

the laliga competition is not as interesting as it used to be when I saw it because only 2 teams looked strong compared to the other teams. if it goes on like this I think that there will be less and less fans or spectators in the Laliga and will be more inclined to watch the EPL.

la liga still remains a very competitive league, when barcelona or real madrid play against any la liga team, nothing guarantees that real madrid and barcelona will not lose in the game against any la liga team, myself whenever I watch real madrid or barcelona play against any other team in la liga, I am not fooled by the low odds in favor of these two great teams, because I know that there are 50% of these two teams losing against other teams, that is the wonder da la liga, now if we make a comparison between these two big teams and the other teams in terms of winning the la liga then we will see a stark difference between these two big teams and the small teams, the small teams have no chance of winning the la liga turns on

With the tight schedule of matches they will play, Xavi Hernandez must also be good at rotating players. That is an important thing that must be anticipated by every coach because with such a busy schedule it is possible for the players to experience something unexpected, such as an injury for example. Fatigue will also be a factor where they must be rested. Xavi must really realize this in order to keep his team in a stable state.

Don't forget, Barcelona is not the only team that is fit for the race. Before Xavi will make a head way in the Europa League, he has to defeat Ten Hag in the knock-out stage, which will be the first test of supremacy.

As for the Laliga title, they are already at the top of the league, and it will only require their consistency in winning their games to secure the top position. Xavi doesn't have the mental ability to pursue both titles, he rather focuses on one and get it. We saw How he fumbled in the UEFA group stage this season and Last season, losing to Frankfurt in the Europa League while securing the second position in the table last season.
