La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[babo]

Lol, Barcelona isn't mature u said. Like in what way??
The said club is currently leading Spanish toughest league which the same real Madrid is also a contender.
You have mentioned that FCB dominance in La Liga is de to Teal Madrid's tiredness but what causes this tirednes if I may ask?? Madrid were in
Research shows that  when Barca won won,  real Madrid's players were on ink jury and that's the same thing that occurred in this second leg ( barca are also on injury>>> De long, Memphis Depay and Perdri).   I'm not Barca fan but I know they do better than Madrid in terms of H2H clashes.

I'm not a fan, I'm an analyst
I predicted that Barcelona would overtake Real Madrid at that specific moment (and it happened)
I predicted Barcelona would lose the match yesterday, and it happened

your arguments are zero, if you want to argue well
otherwise you end up in the ignore list

It's quite true. That was a bad performance for FCB. Apart from any other fact, it will be a big blow for Real Madrid if they allow Barcelona to record another win against them this season d they eserves this winning more because  they haven't been happy after playing Barca for their past 3 clashes.  But I will say this winning is more possible for Madrid because Barcelona also went through the same injury challenge that they (Madrid)did in the first leg. With Frenkie Dejong, Usman Dembele, Pedri,  and Christensen all out,  one will not expect the best of FCB. Though I wasn't expecting Barca to be this poor.

Real madrid has been getting weak spot of barcelona. You shall try to put the primary concern into the strategy that used by real madrid against barcelona. Ancellotti was trying to take a big gamble by allowing its players to use the same strategy as barcelona. That's good to see that some important players got injured. real madrid was able to taking a trophy from copa del rey this season as long as madrid will be showing another excellent performance in the final. Some players that played so well during the match were already substituted by xavi.

I don't even know what has been thinking by xavi to take kessie out from the match. That's really a disappointing decision by xavi. I hope that xavi will take it as a salutary lesson for barcelona. Barcelona had so many got injured.

The result is very bad but that must be accepted by xavi and team. xavi at least have la liga to be the second trophy for barcleona this season.

when Real Madrid are at their best no team can stop them and the same goes for their striker Karim Benzema, a 4 goal nil defeat at home and also in front of their home crowd is of course a huge embarrassment for Barcelona.
but this is not a surprise, Real Madrid are a very tough team and this victory was well deserved.

many stupid people doubt Benzema even though it is clear he is the best player in the world, there is nothing to doubt about him only his old age and injury prone but the rest is nothing and he proved it by scoring 3 goals against Barcelona at Camp Nou.

It seems you exaggerate Real Madrid, anything can happen in football, if Real Madrid loses you will say the opposite about Real Madrid. Real Madrid won playing well, but they can still slip up at any time unexpectedly.
Real Madrid's victory was the result of their hard work after being defeated by Barcelona in the second meeting of La Liga. Real Madrid has also been humiliated by Barcelona in front of its supporters, the situation that occurred at Camp Nou was very profitable for Real Madrid, they were able to move into the final after a successful comeback in the second leg.

In La Liga it is difficult for Real Madrid to catch up to Barcelona, the Copa del Rey is one of their big opportunities to become champions. The Champions League competition is very tight so it's not easy to determine whether they will be able to win again or not this season. Maybe now they will not focus on chasing Barcleona in La Liga, considering that the chances are very small, we will see them perform completely in the Champions League.

Barcelona was able to keep a wide enough distance in Laliga with the competition which leaves 11 more matches, very close for Barcelona to achieve the target of becoming Laliga champions. Barcelona now only has one more hope of becoming champions, namely in Laliga after they fell in the Copa del rey. barcelona must take advantage of the upcoming matches to seek victory because if the remaining 11 matches cannot be used as best as possible then anything can happen in the standings table.

Barcelona will face Girona in the upcoming match where this match will be the home match for barcelona. I don't think they will lose this match after the mentality of the players was dropped by Real Madrid in yesterday's match.

I didn't expect Real Madrid to beat Barcelona either, especially with such a big score without conceding a single goal. I thought that Real Madrid would not try this game because they have a Champions League game coming up. But I was wrong and Real Madrid, particularly Benzema, were able to pull off this incredible win in the Spanish Cup semi-final. It will be interesting to watch their final match against Osasuna in a month's time.

What I discovered in this advent of Xavi as Barcelona coach is that no matter how bad or poor Barcelona will perform, then have always been the ones beating Real Madrid into their meetings.
I then so concluded that Xavi has mastered how to beat Ancelotti and his boys. So my expectation was purely defined before the match but I was left amazed at the end of the match.
I also did think that Ancelotti will have to reserve his best players or atleast advice them not to play with full commitment but I was so wrong that players like Vinicius and Benzema gave their best in the match.
The image of Real Madrid against barcelona is now redeemed.

4 important Barcelona players who are absent are Pedri, Dembele, Christensen, and Frenkie de Jong certainly makes it clear that Barcelona game cannot be properly conditioned. Seeing their fight, I don't like Gavi's aggressiveness, he messes up everything just to fulfill his ego on the field. But I'm grateful because Madrid silenced the young player with a landslide score without being able to give a reply.

He's not exaggerating, that's a fact on the ground based on the results of this fight. However, that doesn't mean that Madrid always wins, everyone also needs to evaluate it objectively, but this time Barcelona was humiliated. Returning to La Liga, Barcelona will definitely remain top of the standings and it will be difficult for Real Madrid following a point behind. Therefore, the opportunities that Ancelotti has are only in the Champions League and the Copa Del Rey. So it is certain that the La Liga trophy this season will more easily fall into the hands of Barcelona.

[shogun47]

All matches between Barcelona vs Real Madrid are El clasico matches.  Be it in the Copa Del Rey or the League, even all the games if they meet. The difference is just that the match in the League feels difficult to restore Madrid's chances of winning even though it wins because of the already large difference in points. While the best opportunity I think is in the Copa Del Rey. Madrid still has a chance to qualify for the final.

Of course, Real Madrid will try to win at least one tournament, it is not fitting for the royal club to finish the season without significant victories. They will try to beat Barcelona in the cup and the chances will be equal, as in the last match the game was very equal, until the last I could not give anyone an advantage. But Xavi will want to win all the tournaments in Spain to leave Ancelotti with nothing.

In La Liga it is difficult for Real Madrid to catch up to Barcelona, the Copa del Rey is one of their big opportunities to become champions.

Maybe now they will not focus on chasing Barcleona in La Liga, considering that the chances are very small, we will see them perform completely in the Champions League.

Yesterday's result in the Copa del Rey surprised me. I found a comeback from Real Madrid quite possible, but Benzemá's hat trick and a score of 0-4 in Barça's stadium Camp Nou was very hard to predict. They should not have much trouble defeating Osasuna in the final.

La Liga is a different story: it is almost impossible to close the gap between them and Barcelona, so they will (should) focus in the Champions League, where, although difficult, they still have chances to win.

The more interesting question is after that marvelous win yesterday whether Ancelotti can keep his job when he wins Copa del Rey and perhaps the Champions League. Or whether he would step back himself after another big success and say "that's it my friends". I could understand that move as he had an outstanding career already. He said that Real Madrid will be the last club for now. Maybe he wants to try again next season, He seems to be physically healthy and he is only 63. Some will say that is quite old, but he isn't the wild guy anyway and comes across as quite relaxed most of the time. He could definitely handle to be a coach for another few years.

What an impressive game from Real Madrid. Vinicius is on a mission for this El Clasico, he seems to have reason to prove it. Benzema was flowing class as usual. But Camavinga is amazing!! So good as an LB, my only disappointment with camavinga playing in that position is he doesn't play in midfield where he is amazing too! Madrid have a gem on their hands!

Fantastic Real Madrid play especially I saw the young Camavinga very solid game he keeps getting better and better in every game and he always gives results in big games against big teams. It looks like he will become a world class player. El Clasico leg 2 is like sweet revenge from Real Madrid after losing a few days ago and Real Madrid is targeting this CDR champion because Real Madrid has not won this CDR competition for a long time.

Real Madrid is very obsessed with winning at least one title at the end of the season. Therefore the Copa del Rey is the only domestic title that is very possible for them to pursue and get, because in La Liga their chances have most likely been closed. Before the 2nd leg match started, Real Madrid was not really favored because they had suffered defeat in the 1st leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

But with determination and enthusiasm, the game shown by Carlo Ancelotti's troops was extraordinary. I admit that the mentality of Real Madrid's players is indeed above average, they don't look pressured at all even though they are not superior. Congratulations to Real Madrid and congratulations to the Italian genius Don Carlo!

[RILWAN]

Ancelotti has got his team playing incredible football at just the moment it was a complete game, but it was a good moment of suffering in the first half the first goal changed the dynamic of the game Madrid has changed compared to the previous clasicos season Madrid went into that game with the right frame of mind and it paid off eventually it was an impressive game.

[Pulsar77]

Two hat-tricks in two matches consecutively. It has been a really incredible effort by Benzema surely. It is good for Real Madrid to eliminate Barcelona as well because they don't have much chance left in the La Liga to become the champions. The Copa del Rey is at least a chance for them to finish the season with at least one title. I don't think Barcelona are too sad about being eliminated in this cup by the way. But it would have been better for them if they went for two titles together with the La Liga one.

Real Madrid can still make double actually. Because they are still a part of the Champions League as well. They are one of the biggest contenders there in the end and the last champions at the same time.

I was also surprised by that results, especially Benzema who was able to score a hattrick. Previously I thought Barcelona would benefit when playing at Camp Nou, but Real Madrid still have a strong mentality, they can still make a surprise. In the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna, indeed it seems like Real Madrid will have no trouble, because they can win against the strongest opponent yesterday, also Real Madrid head to head statistics are better I think it was an easy final for Real Madrid.

From this victory, Real Madrid certainly qualified for the Copa del Rey final after defeating Barcelona in the semifinals, this victory seemed to prove Carlo Ancelotti's words, which previously wanted to focus on winning the title. Carlo Ancelotti really wants to be able to bring Real Madrid to end a 9-year famine. The last time Real Madrid won the Copa Del Rey was back in 2014. I think Carlo Ancelotti's wish will now come true given that their opponent in the final will be Osasuna.

El Clasico is always completely unpredictable. In El Clasico matches we have to be prepared to see any result. Barcelona's team has not lost any match against Madrid for a long time. And they conceded a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Camp Nou yesterday. Despite being in very good form, the Barcelona team could not score a single goal in this match.
Barcelona's defense was very weak in this match. If the defenders had been able to perform a bit better, maybe Barcelona would not have been beaten so badly. Barcelona had some great attacks in the first half. But Madrid's defenders parried every attack. On the other hand, Madrid's first and last two goals were from counterattacks. I found Barcelona's defense completely aimless in this match.

This is the fifth El Clasico this season, in the last three meetings Real Madrid always lost when playing against the Barcelona team even in the first round of the Copa del rey semi-final Mandrid lost at home with a score of 0-1, but in this meeting they proved that their mentality or tactics are superior to the Barcelona team. In that match, we can see that Real Madrid's defense is more disciplined than the defense of the Barcelona team, so that the Real Madrid players can take advantage of a lot of empty space from the Barcelona team's defense for them to create as opportunities.

The Real Madrid team can win the Champions and the Copa del Rey with this unbelievable performance against Barcelona. I don't think Chelsea has any chance of beating this great team. The team is a fine blend of the old, current, and future generations of the world's best players. Seeing the evergreen Modric and Benzema connecting with Vini Jr is a wonderful sight to behold.

If I were Carlo Ancelotti I will leave the team when the ovation is loudest. His innovation and creativity are outstanding, I was surprised to see Madrid becoming a counterattacking team. He will forever be remembered as one of the greatest coaches of Real Madrid. If he wins these two or any of the trophies, I think it will be a good time to leave Madrid. He is not getting any younger, maybe focusing on coaching a national team will be more convenient.

I agree with this because making a prediction for El Clasico is only half as likely to be correct and I've also been wrong a few times in betting in the 5 matches they've had this season.
Sometimes everything can't be predicted just by performance because in the previous El Clasico I was pretty confident about Madrid and I lost my confidence. In this match it was the same, I actually still felt it was going to be tough for Madrid (Even though I bet on it) but in the end they won easily in this match.

Barcelona really didn't have a good partnership in this match and if we look at the defense, they always kept 4 to 5 players there, but this is exactly what made them fail because from Benzema's 2 goals (2nd and 4th) we can see that Barcelona defenders always rely on each other but none of them move to close the movement.

There is a possibility that Carlo Ancelotti will do it like that when he successfully presented two trophies to Real Madrid since returning to the Santiago Bernabeu in June 2021 then from Everton.

If it is true that Carlo Ancelotti did it when a big applause was carried out by Real Madrid fans, it would remind us of the figure of Zidane who first did it with Real Madrid.
Even Zidane gave a record of extraordinary achievement to Real Madrid at that time.

Carlo Ancelotti is an extraordinary coach for Real Madrid at the moment. Ancelotti seems to be proud of all the Real Madrid players who are playing well. Especially the captain, Benzema, who became a starter to keep scoring goals during the match.
Even though this is still the semi-final, this is a good step toward victory in the final. The 4-0 victory over Barcelona gave Real Madrid a chance to win three competitions. Carlo Ancelotti gave his appreciation to the players by taking them off so that the players could rest and pamper themselves after slaughtering Barcelona.

The Real Madrid team can win the Champions and the Copa del Rey with this unbelievable performance against Barcelona. I don't think Chelsea has any chance of beating this great team. The team is a fine blend of the old, current, and future generations of the world's best players. Seeing the evergreen Modric and Benzema connecting with Vini Jr is a wonderful sight to behold.

We can't underestimate any team. Chelsea isn't that good now, but they have already signed Lampard as a coach, so he can give new breath to the team. On the other hand, this win will push Real Madrid's chances of winning the Champions League, because they regained the lost confidence. In addition, some players have improved a lot and offered new solutions to the team, like Camavinga. However, Real Madrid overtaking Chelsea is an expected matter, but what would come after then wouldn't be expected, in my opinion.

If I were Carlo Ancelotti I will leave the team when the ovation is loudest. His innovation and creativity are outstanding, I was surprised to see Madrid becoming a counterattacking team. He will forever be remembered as one of the greatest coaches of Real Madrid. If he wins these two or any of the trophies, I think it will be a good time to leave Madrid. He is not getting any younger, maybe focusing on coaching a national team will be more convenient.

Putting pressure on the coach has been a well-known method in Real Madrid for years. I don't remember a coach who coached Real Madrid without pressure on him when the team shows bad results. Ancelotti will remain a legend in Madrid because he brought them the 10th Champions League after a long period of absence, so he achieved what many coaches failed to achieve. Therefore, I think he will always be remembered in Madrid whether he wins the Champions League or not.

[el kaka22]

At least we know that there is a good chance Real will win something. It is obvious that Barcelona already got the league, it is not certain what will happen in UCL, but at the very least we can say that there is a high chance that Real would probably win this cup unless something unexpected happens.

One more thing that is so hard for Real is that Benzema is playing amazingly, this guy is 35-36 years old, he can't play like this all year all the time, he has been good for a while again but at the start to the season he missed so many games. If you take him out and put someone else in, that's going to be a trouble for the team, but if you don't do it, eventually that will be a trouble too.

this is not a surprising victory because in the El Clasico duel many things are possible to happen even though in the previous 3 meetings Real Madrid always lost to Barcelona but in the second leg of the Copa del rey this their motivation is quite large because the possibility of winning the La Liga title is quite small for Real madrid so they are very focused on getting the Copa del rey title this season.
and this big win certainly proves themselves even Real madrid this season is still quite strong.
