La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

In addition to the goal he scored, Vinicius replayed in a polite way when he posted on Twitter after the match: there's only one team in Madrid, and everyone knows it.

The statement is likely a reference to the fact that there are two soccer teams based in Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and Vinicius is likely expressing his loyalty and support for Real Madrid.
I placed a bet on Real Madrid to come back and win even though they were behind by a goal in the first half, but unfortunately I ended up losing the bet.

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.

It's always been an interesting time watching the Madrid Derby.

Athletico Madrid always be the one to flop when it comes to crucial moments as this, two Champions League should have been history to Athletico Madrid but they didn't do enough to win the Champions League.
It was good to see Modric playing as he should play helping the young players with the confidence on how to play Real Madrid after Diego Simeone and players scoring first. But Real Madrid came back finally into the extra minutes to win the game.

You're right, the Madrid Derby is always a tense contest. When it counts most, Athletico Madrid fails, such as in the Champions League. They blew not one but two opportunities to change the course of history. However, props to Real Madrid for rallying to secure the victory in overtime.

To witness Modric take on the role of leader and mentor to the team's younger players is a joy to behold. Real Madrid's 61% possession compared to Athletico's 39% is remarkable. That exemplifies Real's command of the situation. I'm happy Real won since it was a fantastic game to watch

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.

Actually Atletico Madrid did their best to maintain that score and played well in defense if you watched the match we didn’t see Karim Benzema as we use to see him play freely. He wasn’t moving that much due to three defenders of Atletico watching him all the game. The draw goal by Rodrygo was an individual work by him and could trick everyone even the goalkeeper didn’t wait him to shot in that small angle.
After that goal everything changed in the extra time we felt the tiredness of Atletico Madrid and there was noway they will stood against the continuous attack from Karim’s comrades and with only 10 players of Atletico after that Stefan Savić got a red card

Karim Benzema scored against Athletic at San Mamés and moved level with Raúl as Real Madrid’s second-top goal scorer in LaLiga. The Frenchman, who scored the opening goal with a wonderful left-footed volley, has now netted 228 goals in the competition to equal Raúl’s tally between 1994 and 2010. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (312) is ahead of the Frenchman now.

Benzema caught Raul's record after scoring a goal against Bilbao last week. He is the second most goalscorer in Real Madrid history, along with Raul. He set a tremendous record. He remained in Ronaldo's shadow for years. But now he has made himself accepted by everyone in Real Madrid. He will score one more goal only and become the second top scorer in the history of Real Madrid. I'm sure he can definitely do that.

He did very well to set an individual record at Real Madrid, meaning he became the second player to score as many goals and surpassed Raul's previous record after Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, he is still an active player in the Real Madrid squad.
If he can maintain his current condition for another 1 or 2 seasons, I believe he will probably reach the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo. Because seeing his current condition he can still be relied on in Real Madrid's games, unless Real Madrid doesn't want to continue his collaboration.

The victory in extremis was a relief for Real Madrid, who are in the spotlight after doubts have arisen about its management and performance. Too bad for Atlético: they tried to do their best during the match and were exhausted at the end. I guess that they didn't expect such a comeback in the last moment, but this is not the first time we've seen something like this, so we can debate whether it was the best strategy for them or not.

[KTChampions]

You couldn't have said it better. For the first half Real, as in recent games, did not come, then in 5 minutes in the second half gave away a goal and finished Atletico in extra time. Real recently like to do so, apparently this is already a signature style of Real Madrid.

It's Ancelotti's tactic. They make a pressure at the end of the match to prevent the opponent from coming back to the match as there won't be a lot of time. In yesterday's match, they were unlucky with the early goal they received. Nonetheless, they managed to apply their tactic.

I don’t think that this is some kind of special tactic - it’s just that Real Madrid has the will to win and they play to the end. It seems to me that none of the teams wants to postpone the denouement of the match until the last minute. Real Madrid often succeed in the final minutes because many teams can't handle the pressure of Real Madrid for the entire match. We can say that there is an analogy with boxing and "champion rounds".

What a night for El Derbi Madrileño as Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. In the first half there were so many mistakes made by the Real Madrid players, especially Valverde, Kross and Mendy who often gave wrong accurate passes to their friends so that in the end they had to fall behind to Alvaro Morata's goal in the 19th minute. Then, in the second half it seemed Don Carlo changed the strategy by pulling the three players above and entered Rodrygo, Ceballos, and Asensio who finally changed the course of the game to Real Madrid's. Not long after, Rodrygo scored the first goal for Real Madrid in the 79th minute and the match ended in a 1-1 draw until the 90th minute.

Continuing into extra time in the 99th minute there was an incident of a red card received by Atletico's player Savic after making a hard tackle on Camavinga. Not long after, Karim Benzema scored the second goal and Vini Jr. scored the third goal while dashing Atletico Madrid's hopes in this match. It was an extraordinary match, how Real Madrid managed to make a comeback in this match with hot tension and I was also a witness to this match until it finished, making my heart beat really fast.

Madrid needs a hard effort to make that victory. beating Atletico in normal times seems difficult for Madrid. but they proved their worth, a team with so many trophies. and of course, they have a better mentality.
Atlético's efforts have been good, but after all, victory must choose one team. and Madrid got it when Atletico was ready to party.

Madrid is an extraordinary team, in the several matches that have occurred, they have always won when the match was almost over. Atletico Madrid led 1-0 at half-time but at the end, everything changed, Benzema, Vini, and Rodrygo were brilliant players.

[Bobrox]

it turned out that Vinicius jr had experienced such harassment several times and I am proud Vinicius for being calm in the face of such racist harassment, he kept smiling. I'm sure the act of hatred aimed at Vinicius will make him even more enthusiastic to be better in every match.
but what I'm surprised is, racist acts or harassment of Vinicius have occurred several times but why isn't there legal action that really looks for the suspect and is immediately punished? or, is it because it is so anonymous that it is very difficult for the police to find the perpetrator.

Have been crucial match and emotion for Vinicius Jr against Atletico Madrid, its seems not first time what racist harassment faced by him but on every match derby always have crucial thing or psywar publish by Atletico. I don't know how make Vinicius Jr keep calm facing with several time racism show to him but he always smile and nothing big problem for him.

Vinicius Jr success become the hero for Real Madrid last night with one goal and one assist help Madrid lead to next round, right now waiting drawing result which one team against Real Madrid semifinal, still left Barcelona, Real Madrid, Osassuna and Atheltic Bilbao.

[BRINIRHA]

The closest match in Laliga is the match Almeria vs Espanyol. Historically, we know that Almeria has never won in the last few meetings against Espanyol. And this season it seems that Almeria is not showing consistent performance. Having experienced 9 defeats this season, it is unlikely that Almeria will be favored in this match. However, as the host, Almeria will certainly play to the fullest. and of course Almeria still has a chance to win in this fight.

In extratime, so they weren't good in the first 90 minutes, but they won, so it doesn't matter. Rodrygos scored in the 79th minute the important 1-1. In the 99th minute Savic got a red card and the game was decided, and then in minute 103 Benzema makes the 2:1. Now they are in the cup semifinals and only Barcelona, Real Madrid, Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao are left. So if Barcelona win the spanish Championship, Real Madrid can win the Copa del Rey

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid are most likely to win against Atletico Madrid today. It is a really low possibility for Atletico Madrid to eliminate them.

Real Madrid have seemed a little weak in defense in the recent times in some games. But they are still able to make up for it by being more effective in scoring goals. It was the exact same scenario in their Villarreal game in the Copa del Rey. But this time I don't even think they will have to make a comeback to win. Atletico Madrid are having quite much problem in big games these days. Their chance in Santiago Bernabeu is even lower than a home game for them.

Right now two quarterfinals are in progress with first between Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao into 75th minute and Athletic Bilbao is leading by 1 - 2 and all three goals done by them in first half which is good as they are controlling this match having good chance for win and going into semifinal of the Copa del Ray 2023 because Valencia is surely having not good time in La Liga and now in this match as well.

In the second quarterfinal of the day which is playing at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu Madrid Morata gives early lead to Atlético Madrid even both teams are performing good, but first shot on the goal give them good lead and now having good play from them as well with just 35 minutes gone and still we have another one hour game to be played for the result of this match how things will go surely its interesting for the both teams fans.

Atletico Madrid actually did a really great work by getting ahead first and keeping the 1-0 advantage for a long time in the game. But they couldn't prevent an equalizer by Rodrygo in the 79th minute. He was like a savior for his team as he scored only 10 minutes after entering the game. Real Madrid were quite dominant in the second half unlike the first half. Atletico Madrid wanted to keep this score to the end but they couldn't manage.

Benzema and Vinicius Jr were there to score goals in extra time to finish the deal by 3-1. Atletico Madrid have been eliminated from maybe the only tournament they might have managed to win.

I think the fact that they were able to get a draw away at Valencia shows that they have some skill set and since they are playing at home they should be going the extra mile in front of their fans.Espanyol despite having won in the last head 2 head meetings against Almeria is not in a good position too and also their form lacks consistency just like many teams in the middle of the standings do.This game is a difficult one to predict,I would bet on Espanyol to win for the historical reasons but from a technical perspective I would bet on both teams to score in tonight game.

it looks like we really need to consider the results of the previous match, namely Almeria which was able to hold Valencia to a draw. so we can't underestimate Almeria this time. but still it looks like Espanyol will indeed be superior in this fight. because in the last few matches Espanyol has shown quite good performance. Even Espanyol managed to beat Real Betis last week.

Yes, it will be a match that is difficult to predict, of course, the reason is that their performances this season are almost identical. However, if drawn historically the match favors Espanyol even though they act as a visiting team. Espanyol also won 2 consecutive wins in their last 2 matches, that could be the capital for them to do the same and steal 3 points from this match. Considering the games they have played this season it also seems like a draw has a very big chance of happening in the match. Almeria who will act as the host will probably take advantage of their host status.

but it seems as the host will indeed make Almeria play better. and I also forgot that when playing as the host it turned out that Almeria was also able to hold Atletico Madrid to a draw. So even though Espanyol will indeed excel in this match, the result of the match could indeed end in a draw. and it seems true that this match will be difficult to predict. But it looks like I've decided to keep betting on an Espanyol win.

Yes, indeed, no team holds back from scoring goals against their opponent at the start of the match because every team must play to win, so far Real Madrid often determines its victory in the final minutes, but in my opinion this was done by the Madrid players because they were able to take advantage of momentum when players from the opposing team are overwhelmed at the end of the match so that Real Madrid players can easily create opportunities, especially as we know that the average Real Madrid player can play consistently until the end of the game.

[Prince Malik]

Almeria will play a home match today against espanyol, both teams aim to get the 3 points to escape from the relegation zone as they are not very far from it, almeria will have the home advantage and will try hard to get the 3 points while espanyol will try to get at least one point from this match
