La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[SirLancelot]

I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem

They do need new players in their ranks. For example, there are some speculations about Asensio leaving the club for Arsenal at the end of his contract. If he does make the move to Arsenal, they would need to find someone to replace him. Also, it’s in my opinion that the management start looking for a replacement for Luka Modric and Toni kroos. They’re still good players; just not as good as they used to be. The replacements, if any should be of solid quality. Their situation would improve if they acquire new players and not having to rely on a certain few to score goals.

Most of the time Real Madrid goes with their own policy about buying new players which is good with in summer now they are going in search for the new players like Jude Bellingham and few reports are saying they can go for the Victor Osimhen and few other players are also in their radar but how things will go for them, it's not clear and what is Ancelotti strategy no one can any prediction about this as well because with current performance and injuries they are out of the race for the title and their chances into Champions League are also not good because their attack is not working as this was doing in last season and in early rounds of this season which is surely matter of worry and consistently Karim Benzema injury is creating problems, but they have done nothing it's also surprising as well.

Barcelona will still need a very long time to get rid of the debt that they have. Because I honestly do not think they have actually made any smart moves about money management. They are consistently trying to get layers in the team.

That also regardless of how much money they cost. And I also do not think that Barcelona has actually got rid of the players that they do not need right now. I do not know if the financial situation is better for Barcelona right now. But I will say that they did not make any significant changes. So the financial situation of Barcelona must not have gone better.

That is clear because the debt that Barcelona has is quite large, of course they will need time to pay it all off. that's what hampered barcelona a little in the previous season because they found it difficult to bring in good quality players. But this season, Xavi has provided something pretty good for Barcelona after he managed to make Barcelona the Spanish Super Cup champion.

well, if xavi can bring in another trophy for barcelona, ​​i think barcelona will get an injection of funds from the achievements they get. We'll see how this happens to Barcelona this season because they have a pretty good chance of becoming Laliga and Europa League Champions.

There is no news about the policy taken by Real Madrid regarding transfers. The last rumor is Belingham which is in demand by Anceloti. But the news just evaporated. Actually, I am also waiting for the moment for this, because they are currently the right time to regenerate players who are getting old. Especially in the striker position. I don't really understand if they put it all in place to buy Mbaape? It became a mystery. They should be able to use this season to buy some of the players they need.

It would be great if they get Mbappe.  It would be a vital transfer for Real Madrid.  I can't see a name to fill the gap in the forward line for long periods after the analogy.  Vinicius is important, of course, but if Mbappe comes, it will be of incredible benefit.  Of course, we don't know if Perez will get it or not.  If they want international success to continue, players like Mbappe should be transferred.

Even in soccer nothing is last but most chances now we will have no chance for the Mbappé here in Real Madrid because things are completely going against this transfer and most chances now Real Madrid will be gone for other options as well as few rumors suggesting Harry Kane and Gabriel Jesus both are in their lineup which is also good and few other players are also targeted for the next summer transfer window hopefully they will bring better replacement for their veteran players like Karim Benzema, Luka Modrić and Kroos which are going to end their career soon after having amazing time here in this club.

Mbappé is without any doubt one of the best soccer player, but Real Madrid is also having rich history of producing amazing players, hopefully this will continue in future as well, and we will have some best in near future with amazing success.

Judging by the text broadcast, the game Al-Ahli - Real Madrid was very eventful and it is worth watching the highlights. After the score was 2-1, I started to worry that Real Madrid wanted to give another unpleasant surprise, but in the added minutes the score became 4-1. Formally, a big victory, but in fact the Egyptian club had a chance and Real had to work hard. Well, the final is ahead and I hope that, firstly, Benzema will play, and secondly, Real Madrid will win again.

Few weeks back they were in deep trouble with on and off the field issues but now after settling there on field issues things are looking much better, and they have to do something about this debit as well because last time when I have updated this was already cross the 1.4 Billion Euro which is surely big amount even they try their best and selling few high salary players were also strategy to cut this all but with few players things were no clear, so they were fail to reach at their target hopefully now they will do their best and having better stuff for the getting rid of this all which is also not in their favour.

In coming summer window most chances we will have some more players will be offloaded, and they will try to reach at their level of near to solution for having some better things which helps them, and they could be on road of recovery which is important for success.

Modric's missed penalty made my worries a little more but indeed the superiority in terms of performance was clearly the difference in this match. Madrid are really very good and looking at the goals scored in this game all 4 goals scored by young players makes this even better.
They will face Al Hilal in the final later.

Real Madrid want to rely on Benzema for each matches but Benzema was often to get injured and this makes Real Madrid cannot played him even during this season Benzema only can played him 12 times and Ancelotti was attempts to experiment with played other player such as Rodrygo as the replacement of Benzema but his performance doesn't really good and this is the risk when some of particular clubs always be rely on one player because if those players got injured the performance of those clubs will automatically decline

I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem

At this time of Benzema's career it will be difficult to completely rely on him to carry the team because he is aged and obviously becoming prone to injuries, the best move for Ancelloti now is to find a suitable replacement for Benzema in the summer since the transfer window is already closed. There are still so many options in the market in that position, Real Madrid could try making a deal for Victor Osimhen in the summer.

It's a great performance by Madrid in FIFA Club World Cup, and Lunin deserves a credit by maintaining a good performance. The spotlight goes to Arribas too with his late goal. Tough match but Al Ahly lost concentration in last minutes.

At this time of Benzema's career it will be difficult to completely rely on him to carry the team because he is aged and obviously becoming prone to injuries, the best move for Ancelloti now is to find a suitable replacement for Benzema in the summer since the transfer window is already closed.

I don't think Benzema time in Real Madrid will exceed this season and the star player will be book to sign on to another clubs that will give him less pressure, but at this stage,  real Madrid may over worked Benzema and overly stress him beyond his aga capacity due to the quest of Real Madrid to create and maintain their record which have exposed Benzema to frequent injuries.

I don't think the age of Benzema has something to do with his recent injury crises since this season, Benzema is just 35 years old and his performance on the pitch is very good just that he needs some time to really get better because the Real Madrid team is already built on his shoulder as his absence in the team has affected the performance of the team and they are beginning to drop unnecessary points Considering the condition of Benzema now, getting a replacement for him is not a bad idea and getting a player like Victor Osimhen of Napoli whom you suggested is good because currently he is highest the highest goal scorer in SerieA right now is amazing and I hope they make the deal as fast as possible.

Sevilla's next game is a home one against Mallorca. They have a quite big odd for the win though like 1.90.

It feels like this is worth giving it a try. But Sevilla need to play very careful at the same time. Because Mallorca newly beat Real Madrid as you know. It was a big shock for us and Real Madrid fans maybe but a good morale for Mallorca players. Sevilla are even a problematic team which is why they need to be more aware of the threat. If we watch an effective Sevilla in the attacking line then they might be able to win this game.

[TopT3ns]

I see something different here, I think it's good for the team if there are players who can play in several positions, that should be the ability of every player. But the problem is they lack players who are in that position and they seem to force it, which is not good.
I haven't seen the creativity of Carlo Ancelotti when Real Madrid is down like this.

But you can see in today's Real Madrid match against Al Ahly that they were able to win with a lot of scores, Real Madrid should have also been able to get a lot of goals against other big clubs. There is no other choice but to try to correct mistakes and form new strategies because La Liga is a very prestigious match.

[Pokapoka124]

I think that Barcelona did the right thing by not trying to make big signings in the January transfer window.

Because I don't believe that there was any need for such transfers for them. They have a solid squad already and the Lewandowski transfer has made a big impact for the team also. Besides their financial situation and FFP were also seeming like hindrances to their bringing more players by spending so much money in this transfer window. They are already in big debt now and they should focus on making up for it in time. This can happen easier if they have as much successful season as possible. Winning the La Liga title is essential for them now.

Barcelona have a good and stable squad, the team is neither lacking in numbers so I least expected more signings for Barcelona and I think with the current squad they can carry on until the end of the season. Indeed Lewandowski's transfer made a huge impact on the team's performance, they have improved their attack and are getting many goals this season. It will do so much good to the club financially if they can win the Laliga title.

[Ahli38]

Atletico Madrid are trying to bandage their wounds but they are still an unreliable team now.

Because you know how disappointing ending they had against Getafe. It should have been an easy win for Atletico Madrid normally. But they couldn't keep the match under control until it ended. If they can't even win a match like this in their home stadium how can I believe in them to get better soon? They seem like they are just trying not to drop down from top four. They can't do more than that either now actually. They have already lost their chance for the league title. I wonder if they will get into a revolution phase or something like that by the end of the season.

I understand the disappointment you felt when I saw Atletico Madrid, who should have been able to win the match easily enough, had to be willing to be held to a quite dramatic draw. namely Getafe were lucky to have the opportunity to equalize through a penalty kick in the 83rd minute. and actually Atletico Madrid also squandered the opportunities they got several times. and I doubt whether Atletico Madrid will be able to win the next game against Celta Vigo. because at the moment Celta Vigo looks to have a pretty good improvement. even athtetic bilbao and Real Betis have lost to Celta Vigo. I hope for the next match Atletico Madrid can play better.

After the Man City's scandal, it's a golden chance for Madrid to hijack Haaland

Don't you think getting him would be very expensive after just 1 season of signing at Manchester City?
They had a golden chance to get a centre forward from Bundesliga (Haaland and Lewandowski) last summer, but they thought they could depend on Benzema.

I am not one who like English related players because of the media hype, but maybe they can try Harry Kane and see how it goes.

With all due respect to Al Ahly, the FIFA Club World Cup is a completely different tournament and more of an exhibition and by no means indicative in terms of Real Madrid's chances of winning the title in La Liga. The European and South American teams are a priori considered favorites and enter the fight only at the semi-final stage. However, this did not help Flamengo in the other semi-final match and now we have a rather unexpected final. Therefore, if the current Real Madrid squad can win the FIFA Club World Cup, this does not automatically mean winning La Liga. Different tournaments, different number of matches and different depth of the squad is needed for success.

I feel Real Madrid will be active again in the summer and by that time it will be much easier to go for Jude Bellingham because the season will be over and Dortmund will also have enough time to find a suitable replacement for him if they can close the deal. Madrid will also have enough time to search for the kind of striker they want to replace Karim Benzema in center forward position next season.

I think Benzema had his peak and now the time is a bit over. He won't perform again as good as he did when he became the world's best football player. That's a thing of the past I think.

He is still good enough to fill the gap for a central striker, but he is also more prone to injuries with every year passing by. That is why they urgently need a central striker as soon as possible. But Real Madrid wouldn't be Real Madrid if they didn't know that. They are working on something big behind the scenes I am very sure about that.

That's very disappointing madrid didn't buy some important players that may replace the old players like tony kroos. Jude bellingham should become the main target by madrid but as you said that the rumor was just disappearing from the market. Real madrid is not interested anymore with mbappe but the transfer decision will be coming from ancellotti.

I quoted what ancellotti said during the transfer season in january

Ancelotti emphasized his faith in his squad, telling reporters: "We didn’t dip into the winter market because we didn’t need to. If you plan your squad well in summer then you don’t need to use the winter market. When you sign in January it means something has happened, which could be an injury, but we’re fine."

Ancelotti also criticised the intense schedule in the coming months:

"This club doesn’t take any matches off and we try to win every competition," he said. "But, the schedule is too much and there is a limit."

source: https://www.goal.com/en/news/ancelotti-why-real-madrid-did-absolutely-nothing-january-transfer-window/bltf9bf1eebe20db31c

Ancellotti was making wrong prediction about that. Ancellotti might have bought some players caused there will be many schedules for real madrid.

It is good to have faith in the available squad because it will give them that motivation and boost in confidence but we have face the reality that Real Madrid are short in some areas that need strengthening at the moment, playing Rodrygo in centre forward is not reliable enough and we have seen how poor the results have been.

Indeed, this has become quite good with the trust given, but on the other hand this has also backfired a bit, especially when players are injured. and now it's happening to Mendy there. He has no replacement which requires that Camavinga is temporarily forced to replace even if that is not his ideal position.
I think Ancelotti has ruled this out, even though he knows better but pushing too hard isn't really good either.
