La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[alpamar99]

This is what happens when you don't tighten your defense to prevent the opponent from passing through until the referee blows the final whistle. The game is now in a new phase, with Real Madrid putting a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid. When Real Madrid scores a last-minute goal, they usually win the game. If Atletico Madrid allows Real Madrid to pass through like this, I'd rather call the team a weak one.

Atlético's defense was quite good but indeed with a lot of pressure it is clear that it will be more difficult with possession and the chances that Madrid have it is clear that sooner or later something like this can happen especially we know that Madrid are one of the specialists in the last minutes.
Now 10 minutes of extra time remain and Atletico are playing with 10 men and losing by one goal this is disastrous for them.

[Ryu_Ar1]

The match is entering a crucial time now and this can be a decider because sometimes Madrid always go all out when they are in the last 10 minutes even though it will be a little difficult because Atletico with their defensive scheme are still quite disciplined so far.
Many chances were wasted for Madrid and I tried to see what Ancelotti did from the start of the match which I think was a little wrong when playing a player who couldn't be in his position.
Even though in this case Modric and Kroos played, but when placing Modric on the side that was actually not his post, this slightly hampered the flow of the ball.

After you wrote this, the goal was immediately created for Real Madrid
They are really in a strong dominance in the middle of Atletico's defense which is always a little troublesome but they are able to overcome it.
The substitutions of several players were quite effective and Rodrygo became the opener for Atletico's disaster. Now they are playing with 10 players and they have to be left behind by 1 goal. This is clearly difficult, especially with the condition that they always carry out defensive schemes and counterattack.

The match between Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid in the quarter finals is now over with Real Madrid being the victor with 3 goals to Athletico Madrids 1.

It was a pretty tense and interesting match. I would say the match was a bit difficult for Athletico Madrid as Real Madrid dominated the game mostly in the second half as it was in the second half that Real Madrid sort of came to life and scored the three goals to put them ahead to win the match and advance further up.

Madrid, with their strong attack, was held up by the Atletico defensive style, which is what they usually do.
It was clearly a match worth playing although admittedly it was marred by Stefan Savic's red card which left Atletico shaky going into second half extra time.
This condition was put to good use by Madrid and their 3 strikers really performed very well in this match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It was absolutely a well-deserved win for Barcelona in the Super Cup. Real Madrid were horrible in the first half. They tried to do something in the second half but they still couldn't prevent a 3-1 loss. It must be feeling nice for Barcelona to win a title in this season. Maybe it wouldn't be the same as the La Liga title but still it is a good achievement.

At least xavi will not become a coach with zero trophy in barcelona. The title was not so good as la liga or even champion league. europa league title is far better than it. Real madrid is still having a chance to win the title for this season.
barcelona has been performing so well during the match. it seems like that madrid needs to make the trasition from old players to the young players.

Now their target is going to be to win the La Liga title. Real Madrid will be a bigger threat there of course. I wonder if Barcelona will maintain this performance against Real Madrid again in the other El Clasico in the league later on.

Madrid will try to prevent barcelona to winning la liga title. It's even better compared with the super cup. Madrid will try to re build the team again. The current form is not good enough. Madrid needs to buy some good players to replace modric and kroos

It cannot be denied that Barcelona won with many merits, really, Benzema's goal was eventually the goal of the man, a goal that was very significant, in all this I think that Ancelotti must make some changes in his strategies, he must move his players and play at an even more dynamic level, I don't know if you have noticed, but apparently Real Madrid plays and saves a lot of strength for the second half, and that can be a good or bad thing, because it is difficult to come back, and it must be counted With a lot of luck, sometimes they can fall short, as happened with those 3 goals that they allowed themselves to score, it seemed to me that they played very badly.

The match is entering a crucial time now and this can be a decider because sometimes Madrid always go all out when they are in the last 10 minutes even though it will be a little difficult because Atletico with their defensive scheme are still quite disciplined so far.

Well, the truth seems to me that here Real Madrid showed what they are made of, because now with everything they went through in this match, Rodrygio, Benzeema and Vini Jr. stood out for me, they are key players at Real Madrid, really These players make the difference and I see that hjoy had another vision, I can't deny that Morata's goal was excellent, I don't know how Cholo will handle things but they have to do something urgent to solve these things and these types of problems, the Atlético has a very good team, but I think they have to sweat the shirt more, perhaps the cholo's strategy is not giving him adequate results.

The red card impacted the extra time and not the game. ATM was leading with 1 goal for 60 minutes and failed to secure it at the end. This cost them the whole match since in the extra time, they were playing with 10 players vs 11 and both Benzema and Vinicius didn't let ATM try their luck in penalties.
At the end, Real Madrid game was quite hard comparing to Barcelona

As I said before, it is impossible for Real Madrid to let Atletico Madird win, of course Real Madrid will show its strength and still win. Benzema always surprises in every match, so it's certain that Real Madrid will find it easy to win when Benzema contributes on the pitch.

Yeah, I pick real madrid over atletico madrid. Glad to see that my pick was the right choice. It seems like that atletico madrid still has nothing against real madrid. Los blancos being qualified for the next round while atletico madrid must be stopped in the last match against madrid. Glad to see madrid was following barcleona to get a good result. Will final between Barcelona against madrid come back again? I hope this will come true. Madrid was dominating the match. 3 goals from 6 shots on goal. that's a very good accuracy from madrid. atletico must have improved its team even more.
It's not equal with real madrid at this moment even griezmann has been playing so well.

Yes, basically the loss of Atletico Madrid isn't caused by the red card but because of the wrong strategy applied by the coach.
I think Simeone was too early to substitute Morata and Griezmann with other players. If Simeone keeps Morata and Griezmann until the match ends, we may see a different result of this match. Replacing these two players make Atletico has no power in attacking, they only focus on defense. This strategy triggered a red card got by Savic, strong attack of Real Madrid makes Atletic defenders become chaotic. In the extra time, Atletic became more chaotic because they only played with 10 players.

I think their strategy is still quite good, the fact is that they were able to contain Madrid, which had a very difficult time breaking through their defense in normal times with high domination.
The red card definitely cost them and that is a fact when they immediately lost their balance and conceded 2 goals after the red card from Savic in the 99th minute.

The red card was one of the right reasons in this case because in 90 minutes of normal time Atletico could still defend well when they were playing with 11 players but the red card made it a little difficult for them with the domination carried out by Madrid.
but btw talking about this victory see the counter goal scored by Rodrygo in this match really became a very good solo run.

Real Madrid has indeed shown Atletico Madrid that they are the real rulers in the city of Madrid, the quarter-final match entitled the derby was quite tough throughout the match evidenced by the number of cards in the game, in my opinion, Madrid victory today was not easy, especially for almost 60 minutes Atletico managed to excel but unfortunately their failed to maintain this victory, lucky enough for madrid to finally win the match with score 3-1 after athletico had to play with 10 players due to the red card received by Savic.

Agreed, after stefan savic was getting red card and this is also changing the game play tempo by atletico madrid. Atletico madrid may able to push the game into the penalty if atletico madrid was not wasting its chance by getting 1 red card against real madrid.
That's very unlucky moment for atletico madrid. Stefan savic should not do that. It's very bad to see the performance from atletico madrid at this moment.

This will make them back to confident after lost 1-3 versus Barcelona on Super Cup. In La Liga stand, those 3 difference points they must have to chase if still want to compete with Barcelona. We know their performance is not well when comparing it to the last session. maybe injury and tired factor still a Madrid problem has

Atletico Madrid have always had a bitter end against Real Madrid in major competitions and now saw how weak Atletico were after Rodrygo after scoring a goal to equalize normal time into extra time.
Indeed, Stefan Savic's exit with the accumulation of a second yellow card made the direction of Atletico's defense chaotic and I will say again that Stefan Savic always plays rough with his tackles so that after he came out the Atletico game changed so that he could not withstand attacks from Real Madrid who were able to score 2 goals during extra time.

Atletico Madrid has been managed by Simeone who has his philosophy totally focuses on defense. Since the departure of Diego Godin, a new era of Atletico Madrid came and their defense system has become weaker in last few seasons.

In this season, they not only have more problems in defense but also in attacking. With a weaker defense and a less effective attacking system, Atletico Madrid have worse performance and become less competitive in La Liga. Real Madrid again shown that they are a very dangerous team and if opponents fail to beat Real Madrid with big difference, they can come back and flip results at the end.

I am not sure why Atletico Madrid have too many problems with their fouls and cards this season. It can be something wrong with referees or something wrong with their coach and players. Maybe their players are no longer disciplined as they used to be which makes them more vulnerable to cards, especially red cards and were sent off early more regularly.

The extraordinary game shown by both teams in this Copa Del Rey match which was titled Derby. Yes, they both want to win. Even though Atletico Madrid had taken the lead at first, a goal from Rodrygo could have dashed Atletico Madrid's hopes in 10 minutes of normal time. In the end they had to continue the match in extra time, and the results were unlucky for Atletico Madrid, the red card that the Atletico madrid players got really changed the game, and the 2 goals that came too after they played with 10 people.

This would perhaps boost their confidence quite a bit. They still have a chance at la liga as they’re currently just 3 points behind the league leaders Barcelona. I think this win over Athletico Madrid is a much needed morale booster and they needed one.

The match against Athletico Madrid was an interesting and entertaining game. Real Madrid staged a heroic comeback. They equalized the game and went ahead to comfortably win it he game with 2 more goals. Now, that’s a comeback. Great game overall and a nice win for Real Madrid.

The magic of Bernabéu is back.

Real Madrid vs Athletico doesn’t always end well for  Simeone side.
Atletico players don't know what to do with the ball when they have to score a goal.
Defending all of the time is no main tactical. It's Simeone fault. The potential to be Giants is dead

 Quite alright that when it comes to Real Madrid vs ATM it doesn't end well for Diego Simeone, but this team would have done much better if they still had Felix on that team. Ever since the world cup, Antoine Griezmann and Joan Felix has been really incredibly wonderful including Morata. The team look fresh and even lighter, they go all out defend too, not relying on one goal as usual but get 2 to 3 goals without just sitting back, that's what they needed. Griezmann can't do that alone in that team,he needs a helping hand.

 Simeone always defend when he knows that he can't get his team to beat their opponent like play against Real Madrid, he always has one game plan, go play and defend more and a draw is enough. Such coaches are no longer in the world of football, I believe that ones the team gets hold of a distributing player to help out Antoine Griezmann then they can stop this defending kind of play.
