La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[longyenthanh]

I don't think there is any way Real Madrid will lost out in the La Liga and since their performance currently is above average both in the La Liga and championship so with the way things are Real Madrid will have this season to themselves without much competition from other clubs.

Yes, Real Madrid have all the talented young players. And there are replacements for every position.  With players like Benzema, Lukamdrij, and other players, they can win La Liga without much competition.  But the Champions League will not be easy.  Because the current world runner-up and champion team M. Bappe and Messi are in PSG.  With Neymar.  Now they will play more successful games than before.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe he will continue to be a part of Real Madrid even for the seasons to come because we know that Benzema has been a very important part of Real Madrid as long as he defended Real Madrid in the past 9 years. In fact, I think he will end his career at Real Madrid if he decides to retire. Proximity and harmony is one of the aspects that Benzema has with Real Madrid. Yes a new contract is coming and it will be good news for him after he was a bit disappointed not to be able to defend France at the Qatar world cup due to the injury he had.

[Minecache]

We don't have to forget a fact if he is a Ballon d'Or winner of 2022, we not to doubt Benzema is the best player for this year, He just not to lucky not in the France squad because got the injury at the beginning, And I'm really sure if Benzema are in the squad and play in Final versus Argentina, the result will not like this. So far he still not find the performance in real Madrid maybe because age factor, he have target to hold the champions league trophy and take back 1st la liga position from Barca.

Can't imagine if Benzema returns to his best form at Real Madrid and is not injured, then it is very likely that Benzema will compete strongly in the hunt for the top scorer with Lewandowski. Because even so far, Benzema has already scored five goals in La Liga, this shows that Benzema is still very productive in scoring many goals.
So yes, there's no doubt that Benzema is still having good moments this season but unfortunately, his injuries have deprived him of added value because he didn't play in the World Cup.
But for Real Madrid, I personally still believe that even without Benzema at least Real Madrid will still be able to compete strongly with Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title this season.
But if Barcelona are knocked out of the Europa League and then Real Madrid manage to go further in the Champions League, then I might doubt Real Madrid for the La Liga title. Because if Barcelona can focus more on La Liga this season, then winning the La Lig title for Barcelona will be even closer because their focus is getting better.

I really have no idea why Karim Benzema did not play for France. I thought he could. Because as far as I know, he was not that injured for the final. Yes, I know that he was not 100% fit. And I absolutely agree that Benzema will have a very important role to play for Real Madrid if they want to get back to the first position on the La Liga table.

Barcelona is playing really well right now, and Benzema will have to start playing as he did the last season. But I think having that expectation is just unfair for a player like Benzema because he is already 35 years old. He can only do so much at this age.

he was not called up for the final game. Benzema received an invitation to watch the final match between France and Argentina from the bleachers along with the President of France. is that a fair gesture of course not .
I'm sure Benzema is quite disappointed with Didier Deschamps decision to cross out his name at the Qatar World Cup. But the injury he had before the world cup was one of the events that cost him because if it wasn't injured I'm sure he would have been Didier Deschamps first choice in every game he played. therefore I think there is nothing to blame and all decisions have been made.

Benzema has retired from defending the French national team and he will focus on the laliga with Real Madrid. Benzema has been a pretty good actor for Real Madrid success in the previous season and hopes he can repeat it this season.

I'm so glad the world cup has finally come to an end. Returning from the break is accompanied by tough games in the La liga. Barcelona are going against Espanyol, this is a tough fixture but I believe Barcelona will win this one and face Atletico Madrid in the next game and with the Europa league coming so fast, this will be a really difficult one for Barcelona.

The Europa League is still a long way off... Barcelona have eight games to play before they face Man U in the Europa League... I think that by that time they will be back in good shape to beat the English... By the way, before the Europa League match, Barcelona do have hard games against Betis and Villarreal... Hopefully this won't cause them any more difficulties...

I am also glad that the World Cup has come to an end and I am also glad to see how the World Cup has come to an end. Finally, I woke up for Lionel Messi. Now he is the one and the true GOAT of football. I hope he will be able to continue playing well in club matches as well.

Barcelona should be able to win against Espanyol and I also think they should also win against Atletico Madrid.  Xavi has set his eyes on the La Liga title. And if they want to win the title, they cannot afford to lose matches like these at this moment. Barcelona will have to continue winning.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Barcelona and Real Madrid will focus on the national competition for the time being. The EL and CL are also planned, but they will not take place until February. There is still a long time for that. I'm curious how both teams came out of this short winter break, there are many players who have participated in the World Cup and I don't know when they will start the competition again. Many players played in the team of Spain, which was extremely disappointing. I hope the players can put that negative feeling behind them.

There is surely going to be competition for the La Liga this season, but the competition is between real madrid and barcelona, neither of them is going to win the La Liga easily, it is surely going to be tough. Real madrid are not sure of winning the title, same as barcelona, as both of them are of the same level of performance, for now barcelona are even on top of the La Liga with two points after 14 games, and Madrid are 2nd, a team that is in first position after 14 matches surely has a chance to win the title.

Real madrid can lose anytime and none can predict it. I meant look at how real madrid has been defeated a few times by the team that was placed under it in la liga. That makes barcelona has been making 2 points gap with real madrid and you can tell yourself whether real madrid can be defeated or not. barcelona can also be defeated too but barcelona is a bit more consistent compared with real madrid and it can be seen from how barcelona is still leading the la liga till this day. I meant the real competition will be starting again very soon and so many improvements going to happen with various clubs.
Barcelona and real madrid must have prepared themselves to win in the rest of matches on la liga until the end of season.

As long as the two of them are still playing the game like now, it will be very clear that there is real competition, of course, Barcelona is in good condition as well as Madrid, although internally they still have problems such as Barcelona which still has to look for several players to survive or Madrid with Benzema.

But indeed, looking at the competition, it is clear that it will appear real now and this is what is expected after last season there was nothing like this.

Yes, Real Madrid have all the talented young players. And there are replacements for every position.  With players like Benzema, Lukamdrij, and others players, they can win La Liga without much competition.  But the Champions League will not be easy.  Because the current world runner-up and champion team M. Bappe and Messi are in PSG.  With Neymar.  Now they will play more successful games than before.

Real Madrid may have all the good players but if the team is unable to use the players properly they may end up not getting the Laliga this season as Barcelona is currently the league leader after Madrid failed to win matches that would have given them an edge against their rivals Barcelona. Players like Benzema is good but he's been battling injury issues and may likely not be as strong as he ought to be but yet Madrid can still win both Laliga and the Champions League if they maintain the good performance they started from the group stage till they get to the finals. PSG may have the world cup winners in the likes of Messi and the highest goal scorer in the just concluded world cup Mbappe but if the team us not coordinated they may have all the squad but still find it difficult to win the Champions League, I believe Bayern Munich has an edge against PSG in the knock out stage.

Competition in La Liga will now be felt especially with the return of Barcelona to become one of the clubs that can compete after they were very chaotic last season so that the competition for the title is now very open. As for the Champions League I think there are players even since last season when Madrid managed to win against them and become champions.
What is the difference between PSG last season and this season in the Champions League because they are all almost the same. The reason for the world cup is only about the players and their individuals, not as a club from PSG. In fact, I have a little doubt that they will be able to survive because they will meet Bayern in the knockout round later.

Competition is definitely there and that's for sure, although in the end it can be won by certain teams like Real Madrid. But Real Madrid will still face fierce competition from Barcelona in La Liga and it will not be so easy to face some of the great teams in the Champions League this season. Because the team there (Champions League) still has the determination and a very good squad to compete in the Champions League this season.

Bappe and Messi are in PSG.  With Neymar.  Now they will play more successful games than before.

In La Liga, there will definitely be a bit of pressure on Real Madrid because Barcelona are still at the top of the standings so Barcelona will definitely try to maintain their position so that they are not taken over easily by Real Madrid, who are currently in second place with very close points from Barcelona. Previously, PSG still failed to win the Champions League and PSG will definitely try again this season with a squad that is not much different where this season they still have Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. But that doesn't guarantee the PSG team will win the championship easily there (Champion League).

Your word "Without much competition," I think is an overstatement. la Liga as of now has Barcelona at the top. I don't think Barcelona will be so weak to let go of that top position.?
Barcelona has highly experienced players that can help them win the league. One will say that Real Madrid is up and doing, but I don't see what gives real Madrid an upper hand over Barcelona, Real Madrid may take over the top position, but this may require a high degree of gravity. But I can't  doubt FCB's ability for once

That's true, Barcelona still have some good players like lewandowski and dembele and many others, saying that Madrid will get the title easily is definitely make no sense and personally i believe Barcelona will be the champoin this year but they need to stay focused and try hard to not waste points against weak clubs especially in their stadium

[kawetsriyanto]

A busy schedule sometimes makes players vulnerable to fatigue and injury, something like this could have happened to Benzema if he had not decided to focus on just one goal and the policy that Benzema had chosen was absolutely correct. Playing at the club level with so many existing competitions is of course a definite calculation for Benzema.

Yep. He already made the right decision, focus on Real Madrid is a must if he still cares about his fitness/health. He won't be worried to retire from France team since there are some young strikers to replace his role. Mbappe and Nkunku seem to be the next CF in France team, they are still young and has a long time to play. While for Benzema, he will focus on Real Madrid now. With no international schedule with France national team, Benzema can use 100% his energy to Real Madrid.

The battle for the La Liga title will be between Barcelona and Madrid. Atlético Madrid has been far behind this season. Real Sociedad is also 11 points behind Barcelona in third place in the table. The point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is only 2. And so if Barcelona drops a point in any match they are likely to lose the top spot in the table. They have to play very carefully if they want to win the title. The Barcelona team is now much more stable than before. Now I think they will be able to win the title if they can maintain consistency of performance.

The need for Benzema in the France team is decreasing day by day. France needed Benzema in this World Cup. If Benzema was in the squad, France could have become champions again. But France will no longer need Benzema in the next World Cup. Mbappe is performing very well. His performance will improve as he becomes more experienced. Also Dembele and Nkunku are very talented. And so the France team will be able to play well without Benzema in the future. Benzema is now 35. He should concentrate fully on club performance. And trying to win another Ballon d'Or.

Agree, he must focus on only Real Madrid now, Benzema must have left all drama and opera on the National team. If he still looks and thinks to play again on the national team, I believe that will decrease his performance club which divided his mind. In fact, he is the best player in 2022, He got Ballon D'or, which means he's no ordinary player like others. Maybe people think he will be like Ronaldo who must follow all his desires. but he is not like that, as we can see when he plays in Real Madrid.

At old age like Benzema, it is wiser to retire from international tasks to focus on club tasks only. Paul Scholes, Zizou and some players did the same. It will hep them to have a longer career with less stressful tasks from national teams and tournaments.

Benzema after all bad experience and memory with France including a latest drama from World Cup 2022, he does not have any reason to continue with France. I agree with his decision and very sympathetic with him.

He can give us more opportunities to enjoy his football that is enough. If France and French team-mates don't need him, why should he sacrifice his health and career to join?

[Sebas.tian]

It is really interesting that Real Madrid still haven't extended with Benzema. But I assume it has been due to the World Cup process. Maybe they wanted to wait for it to end to return to their targets as always. Benzema was injured for some time as well. However this injury shouldn't have a big impact on their decision to offer a new contract to him.

Benzema is still one of the important players in this team. Real Madrid owe him a lot especially in the previous season. I think they will extend with him at least for two more years.

Karim Benzema deserve more years to stay in Real Madrid, because he has contributed so many things to make Real Madrid the most strongest team in the la Liga league competition. I believe, Real Madrid coach will consider some things they have achieved through the help of Karim Benzema to wait until he recover from his injury, since he has prepared his mind to resign from their international team. The major focus of Karim Benzema after recovering is the area to increase his goals so that those that think he cannot perform well after the injury can testify by themselves.
