La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tulusikhlas]

I don't know what really happened, even a player like Benzema was "knocked out" while in his national team. The problems that occurred with the player prevented him from having many opportunities, even though he deserved that opportunity. Benzema is one player who feels that way. I also hope he gets a good environment for himself, at least at club level, (Real Madrid), at the moment.

[rahmad2nd]

Benzema has achieved everything at club level with Real Madrid. He had ambitions to achieve the same success with the French national team, but the momentum was not right. The first is about his relationship with Deschamps and the second is the injury problem that plagued him during the tournament.

Benzema's fate will definitely end like Cristiano's, especially since it is reported that the French coach was not very friendly with Benzema, not only Deschamps but Lloris and Griezmann were reportedly very happy with the news of Benzema's retirement from the French national team.

The contribution that already made by griezmann and Lloris was nothing for france. It's very bad to see that griezmann and Lloris have very bad attitude. Benzema was not able to playing caused by his injury and that's a common thing for the football player.
I have expected to see him perform during the world cup but that's very sad to say that if he was absent and even retired from the international career.

Griezmann contributed a lot to France, you can see the statistical rating he had while playing for France at the Qatar world cup.  it's just that, in the final match. France lost the strategy in that match, Dembele was a key factor in Descamps' strategy weakness.  he did not try to help the French defense, so that Jules Kounde struggled because he was outnumbered players.

As a result, Argentina controlled the game in the first half. for Benzema, besides he can't participate in defending his national team. However, he remains on the list of players who have come to Qatar. rumors, Benzema was given an offer to play in the final match yesterday. however, he refuses even though his injury has been confirmed to have fully recovered.

So, I think in this way it has been dismissed that Benzema has no problem with the French coach. after all, on several occasions Benzema said that he was focused on the league competition.

Benzema's injury has become the main reason why he has no chance to play in the world cup. Im sure that anyone would be seeing him as a beast striker since his performance with real madrid can be considered as the best. he was also getting ballon d'or last season. That proves his quality over another player even younger players too. It seems like benzema used his injury as a reason to hide the main problem that happened with the french but since the world cup already passed and there was not thing that must be disappointed as argentina has become a winner. I'd like to see him focus in the club competition as he has another chance to win more trophies with real madrid.
I just hope that he will be playing full game against liverpool in february. Benzema has enough time to make sure if he can recover from his injury to play full time against liverpool

Benzema's injury has become the main reason why he has no chance to play in the world cup.

Benzema can not fight against his ageing like other players. This season can be a start of his failure against ageing. We saw it in Cristiano Ronaldo too.

However, Benzema lost his chance to play in World Cup not only because his injury but perhaps France coach and players did not need Benzema to play World Cup with them. So they sent him back to his club and three days later, he recovered well.

I just hope that he will be playing full game against liverpool in february. Benzema has enough time to make sure if he can recover from his injury to play full time against liverpool

Unless he gets another injury in next one month, he will be able to play in February because before World Cup final, he already recovered and played one half of a friendly match with Real Madrid.

in the World Cup I didn't see Benzema, while I saw Lewandowski.
I don't know, it seems to me that he is tired, maybe as you say he is starting to age quickly and can no longer keep up with a good performance
I can't explain it otherwise

I agree, his relationship that didn't work out harmoniously with the French coach was one of the reasons why he couldn't appear at this World Cup. Even though he is one of the players listed as strong as France, that does not guarantee he has a good relationship with his coach, or in other words his being on the list of players brought to Qatar is just "image". Because it will definitely raise big questions if a Benzema is not included in the squad, after his excellent performances last season.

The reason Benzema was eliminated from the French national team was due to an injury he received while training with other players who joined the French squad ahead of the world cup. There is no party to intervene in Benzema, Didier Deschamps has included Benzema name in the French squad at the world cup. Injury has forced Benzema out of the French squad as well as making him fail to appear in his last world cup before retiring from the French national team.

Benzema has been honored at Real Madrid, he has become one of the legends who has given many trophies while defending Real Madrid. Currently Benzema is in the right environment, the Real Madrid squad has helped him win the Ballon d'Or.

The La Liga trophy will also not be so easy for Barcelona to chase as long as the consistency is still unstable and there is also another very clear obstacle, namely Real Madrid, which this season still looks consistent and is not far behind from Barcelona.

we can still look the surprise when Barcelona when won the classical competition. We know it's hard to defeat or hold the 1st position if in other side has another club that is very excited to beat them. but if they are able to this time, I believe they will continue it in the next session and more, because Barcelona still wants Xavi to continue Pep's scheme which can make Barcelona be great again in La Liga and Europa.

Next 31 Dec Barcelona vs Espanyol will be the game of these two teams. It is really difficult to understand which of the two teams will win. We have seen in some games very weak teams lose to strong teams. We have seen Barcelona and Espanyol two teams.  In the last 5 matches, Barcelona has won 4 matches and lost 1 match. Espanyol has won 2 matches and lost 2 matches.

I would call this easy match for Barcelona this because they were too strong from Espanyol even from 8 recent matches Espanyol cannot able to win from Barcelona and this season too Espanyol still struggle to avoid relegation zone so this match will belongs to Barcelona especially this is home matches for them and Barcelona was very strong at their ground and i think Barcelona schedules is not too tight at least until end of January and so far only Atletico Madrid is strong opponent for them besides that Barcelona only faced mediocre teams so they have to utilized those matches to earn more points

In fact, he is still a very successful player who can still play with high performance. But if such a decision was taken, there must be an important reason. He may have wanted to leave the national team because he did not want to experience what Ronaldo went through. He may have wanted to include younger and more energetic players.
I don't know if we will know the reason exactly, but I think he is still a very high quality football player

The Ballon d'or was won by Benezma. And I believe he is happy with that. He will accept whatever happens to Madrid in the future. Madril is not the type of team that retains players who have not inform. Madrid will sell you if you are not healthy and competent enough. Benezma, in my opinion, will fully recover and astonish the world once more. as he did the previous year. If Madrid does manage to sign Ronaldo, I hear he'd be willing to accept him and play as an assist striker.

Benzema has achieved success at club level while defending Real Madrid, his peak after Benzema led Real Madrid to win the UCL and La Liga last season. For his success in helping Real Madrid win several prestigious titles, Benzema won the Ballon d'or at a mature age as a footballer. This success is very difficult to achieve again, especially with the increasing age of Benzema and his condition which is often injured.

Real Madrid is known as a club that has no tolerance for players who are already old, when a player is deemed unable to contribute anymore to the club, they will immediately sell him or let the player leave when his contract ends. Benzema will not forever be a mainstay of Real Madrid, now that he is 35 years old, Real Madrid has started to look for a replacement for Benzema. I think Benzema will be at Real Madrid as long as his contract remains, after that his time with Real Madrid will end.

Yes, Real Madrid are a very decisive team and their players, they have shown that over the years and as a result they have survived with achievements to date. I think a team should be strict about their players, and if we look back I don't even remember if players retired at Real Madrid or not. More interestingly, Real madrid is one of the successful teams with their regeneration and has never lost quality players in the team. their big team status is the main attraction for players who want to be part of the El Real squad. and also their financial capability helps them in every way.

This success is very difficult to achieve again, especially with the increasing age of Benzema and his condition which is often injured.

As you mentioned, Benzima has accomplished a lot in Real Madrid, but he cannot improve on his performance from last season.
He is not a young player who still has age on his side; he is almost close to retirement, I believe, because he is the type of player who likes to give younger players chances, which is why he was able to win his one and only Ballon d'or, which many people know is his one and only because he cannot win more.

I think Benzema will be at Real Madrid as long as his contract remains, after that his time with Real Madrid will end.

I doubt Real Madrid will offer Benzima a new contract, and Benzima may retire from football early because he recently announced his retirement from the national team; perhaps his club retirement is near, or he may consider joining another club for more playing time, but Real Madrid will undoubtedly let Benzima go once his contract expires.

[alpamar99]

I don't think there are many like that because I myself still believe in Madrid.
Benzema is now ready to return even though the injury concern is still there but as long as he is still able to play I think he will play normally and I'm pretty sure about that.
His form has been hampered by his foot problem which hasn't been great for the season but when he recovered I never doubted this player.

Yes, no doubt his quality game shown very good, but repeated injuries have also become an obstacle for this man. Real Madrid needs a new figure who can replace Benzema, in the transfer market they will have to have a backup option. I think Mbappe would be a good option but Real Madrid are having a hard for bring him, there are rumors Cody Gakpo is Real Madrid target for Benzema successor.

They understand this but with Benzema now retiring from France I think it will be another focus for Benzema even though he is not so young now. But the weight off of the national team will allow him to focus more on the league of course and just have to make his body less vulnerable now because it does have an effect but as long as he is not injured I still have faith in him but there still has to be a new successor there although there are still a lot of rumors but I will not discuss this too much because there is still no clear certainty.

[AakZaki]

Griezmann contributed a lot to France, you can see the statistical rating he had while playing for France at the Qatar world cup.  it's just that, in the final match. France lost the strategy in that match, Dembele was a key factor in Descamps' strategy weakness.  he did not try to help the French defense, so that Jules Kounde struggled because he was outnumbered players.

As a result, Argentina controlled the game in the first half. for Benzema, besides he can't participate in defending his national team. However, he remains on the list of players who have come to Qatar. rumors, Benzema was given an offer to play in the final match yesterday. however, he refuses even though his injury has been confirmed to have fully recovered.

So, I think in this way it has been dismissed that Benzema has no problem with the French coach. after all, on several occasions Benzema said that he was focused on the league competition.

All I know is he just refused to see the final with the french president, instead of coming in as a player in the coaching line-up. It seems that he feels disappointed that he is currently fully healed and he hopes to get time to be able to help France in the Final. But his hopes were gone, he hadn't even been called up to join since the group stage. Because I read a friend's writing above that he has been cured ever since.
But perhaps this is just a guess, Benzema has not given any information about the decision he took. I'm sure he wasn't emotional, because it was the right of the french coach at the time.

[Jody.Drummer]

Benzema has achieved success at club level, he has won any trophy in official matches during his time at Real Madrid. Meanwhile at international level, Benzema was unlucky due to an injury which kept him out of the world cup.
Now that Benzema can return to focus for Real Madrid after recovering from his injury, Benzema is a much needed presence in the Real Madrid squad due to his prolific goalscoring prowess. Real Madrid is still fighting back to the top of the standings, one mistake from Barcelona can lead Real Madrid to the top of the standings because Real Madrid and Barcelona are only two points apart.

as long as Madrid has not got a player with the quality of play as Benzema. I'm sure Benzema will still be the first choice in the squad, even though his performance is sometimes hampered by the injuries he often experiences.
Benzema was not lucky with his situation during the world cup. but that's what's currently happening. no one wants to get injured on purpose when they get the chance to represent the national team. Benzema has accepted it all, and now is the time for him to return to Madrid and focus on all competitions.

Agree with what you said and I still feel that the current position will be until the end of the season if indeed his condition is slightly better and not as fragile as at the start of the season then Benzema will continue to hold this because in this case Benzema is still a scary Benzema when he is in front of the opponent's goal.
Benzema just needs to improve his body so he doesn't get injured too often because his instincts and productivity are still very good.

But there's something else going for Madrid now a little surprising in my opinion. There are indications of Mendy now leaving. His contract will expire in 2025 and actually there has been an offer about a new contract but Mendy refused because he wanted a salary increase that was more than the previous contract so this was a bit hampered.

Benzema's contract expires in June 2023, but I'm sure Real Madrid will renew his stay with the Whites again. It's just that, Benzema will only receive a one-year extension until 2024. This is due to Real Madrid's policy which will only give a one-year contract extension for players over 30 years of age. Even though Benzema has made a big contribution, that will not guarantee that he can last longer.

[Pulsar77]

This season La Liga is not boring thankfully. Real Madrid were so alone in the lead last season. Barcelona had really bad days at the beginning of the season with Koeman. Xavi's arrival was barely enough to finish the season at the 2nd place being quite away from Real Madrid. But in this season Barcelona are very consistent in the league. Somehow they can't reflect this performance on big matches and this cost them really big in the Champions League as well. Maybe some tactical changes are needed for big matches as of now.

Considering their effort the only team that can stop them in the La Liga is Real Madrid. We all know how miserable Atletico Madrid are this season. They are already far away from any title race. So Real Madrid have already defeated Barcelona once but they are still at the second position. Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league. If they do this and defeat Real Madrid in Camp Nou then I think they can really be the champions after a three-season break.

[TopT3ns]

I have expected to see him perform during the world cup but that's very sad to say that if he was absent and even retired from the international career.

Benzema was unable to make a full contribution on the field due to an injury which ultimately made Benzema like this, while Ronaldo was indeed unable to control the ball properly due to the influence of his old age to master the ball which of course requires high stamina. As for Antoine Griezmann, maybe this is his best career because he managed to bring France to the final even though he didn't win.

[Falconer]

Even though Benzema has made a big contribution, that will not guarantee that he can last longer.

Next season, Benzema will turn 36, so maybe it's time to leave Real Madrid or perhaps retire there at the end of his contract. However, Benzema has already announced his retirement from the France squad, which he may also do with his team after the expiration of his contract with Madrid. I could be wrong, but it seems that Benzema is closer to retiring when his contract expires next season without another extension.

Barcelona will need to keep up this performance against smaller teams until the next El Clasico in the league. If they do this and defeat Real Madrid in Camp Nou then I think they can really be the champions after a three-season break.

Barcelona are more convincing this season than last season, but we are still the best in El Clasico. Real Madrid won the first volume of El Clasico, but that doesn't guarantee we can win in the second volume later at Camp Nou.

This season is interesting because Barseon went all in making expensive purchases while having huge debts. After the elimination from the Champions League, it is already clear that the all-in failed and did not bring the expected results, but there are still opportunities to make the situation worse  If Barcelona don't reach the Europa League final and win La Liga, then something like bankruptcy or the start of a run-off of players is possible in the summer.
