La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[LUCKMCFLY]

Real Madrid were very lucky. Osasuna's players performed well in this match. Even then they can't win. They lost against Ancelotti's experienced match tactics. However, everyone expected Madrid to win this match. Real Madrid were favorites in this match and they won. Even so, their victory against Osasuna was not easy. Osasuna fought hard. A slightly better performance was expected from Benzema. Also, without Luka Modric, Madrid's midfield was not strong enough today. Without Modric in the squad against Manchester City, it will be difficult for Madrid to perform well.

After nine long years, Real Madrid won the Copa Del Rey title.  With this title, they won the Copa Del Rey title 20 times. Real Madrid won the last Copa Del Rey title in 2014. However, Real Madrid has won four Champions League trophies in nine years.  

It was not so easy for Real Madrid to win the trophy against OSASUNA. Rodrygo scored in the opening 2 minutes with a great effort from Vinicius and a great save from Real Madrid at the end was the most important part of the victory. After winning the Copa Del Rey title, Real Madrid's next mission is Manchester City.  
Real Madrid will play against Manchester City in the first league match of the semi-finals of the UCL on the 10th.

What Ancelotti's team had was a great success, in particular I think that if they will also win the UCL, however I thought that this King's Cup would be more fought over by Barcelona, but here things are like that, the beauty of soccer is that they have many variants and that is what many should see, here we can see, observe the great work that two managers of Madrid do, and that is why they can do not very well in the League, but they obtain very titles good, great, something that everyone would like to have, however here each one of us judges according to what we see, I can only say that "Hala Madrid" and a great team.

Athletico Madrid is now possessing the 2nd place in the standing and this is really unhealthy for Madrid. The lose points against Villareal and Girona really contributes to Real Madrid misfortune. It would be worst if not for they Copa del ray title cuz They now seem to channeled all focus on The UEFA champion league.  But it will be so frustrating for a big name like Carlo Anceloti if he loses against Manchester city in the semi final and thereafter not succeed in the 2nd place in La liga standing.  

Real Madrid mission in the Copa Del Rey has been completed, now they can focus more on the Champions League when they host Manchester City in the first leg. Losing second place is a setback for Real Madrid, but it will not make Real Madrid lose its strength even though it is unable to end the season as Runner-up.

Ancelotti is well aware that his team's chances of becoming champions in La Liga are closed, now he is more focused on the Champions League to reach the final. His status as defending champion will make Real Madrid even more excited when they face Manchester City at the Bernabeu, his current mission is to win the title after successfully finishing on the podium in the Copa Del Rey.

Atlético Madrid is currently performing exceptionally well. A few days ago, it seemed that this team could not perform much better. But the coach of Atletico Madrid is taking the team forward by applying a great strategy. Currently, this team is second in the points table after beating Real Madrid in La Liga.

Atlético de Madrid is performing very well and they have overtaken Real Madrid. their performance now is really commendable. they are now in a good position in La Liga but Barcelona is still a big obstacle for them. But even if they can overtake Real Madrid, there is no guarantee how long they will be able to maintain their good position. but they are trying hard enough to maintain their good position and compete with Barcelona as well

[shinratensei_]

The work that Real Madrid must complete at the moment is not an easy task. They have to face Manchester City who are ambitious to win the Champions League title and also they have to be shifted from second place in La Liga. Luckily they were able to win the Copa Del Rey title to boost their enthusiasm again in the Champions League especially. Manchester City will not allow them to be eliminated again by Real Madrid in the Champions League.

That's why real madrid wanna try to complete that task first before it will be focusing into the la liga again. The problem is the remaining matches become very less for real madrid. Real madrid needs to sacrifice the la liga or another competition. Ancelotti was actually choosing to sacrifice some points as an exchange for the preparation against manchester city, think about that. Real madrid players are not robot and they must have also chosen which thing that has become more priority for all of them.

After madrid was acquiring copa del rey trophy and this time for madrid to get another trophy again from winning the match against manchester city. It's caused by the win against manchester city will give madrid biggest chance to win UCL trophy.
It's caused by the final will not as difficult as against manchester city. People recognize Manchester City as one of the best clubs in the world right now. Ancelotti saw that as a huge challenge that he must beat with Real Madrid.
Losing some points are not a problem for real madrid at all.

[hahay]

Maybe Real Madrid can't win the La Liga title this season but still they are better than Barcelona as for the success rate in the Champions League. This has got clearer in the recent years I mean. Barcelona have clearly been struggling in big games there which have blocked the way for them to reach upper rounds. This is a really serious issue for Barcelona in my opinion.

Maybe Xavi is doing well in the La Liga but the fans would like to see more than that. Xavi will need to prepare his players and strategies special to Champions League games from now on. They have a potential so they should go for it.

Comparing Real Madrid with Barcelona will never end, because forever they will remain rivals, of course, each individual has his own opinion for Real Madrid and Barcelona. So yes, I think there is no point in comparing Real Madrid to Barcelona, especially when you compare it to a different tournament. Meanwhile, if you only compare Real Madrid and Barcelona only in La Liga, I think Real Madrid still has a better record too.

But apart from all that, I personally really appreciate Xavi, because since Xavi became coach of Barcelona, in fact Barcelona has been very good for results in La Liga. Even though Xavi hasn't been able to deliver great results in Europe, but I think so far Xavi has been good enough in building Barcelona to have a very good performance in the domestic league.

[Gosgosking]

I understand that Real will go to UCL next season anyway, but being third is such a shameful result. This team won la liga plus ucl last season, just last season, and in a single season they may lose UCL and be third in the league. That is just way too bad and I feel like that shouldn't really be considering a good season at all, that is a season to forget for them. Forget about the cup and all, that means nothing.

From here on out, the only thing that can make this season alright is beating City and then getting UCL whoever they face on the final game, but there is absolutely nothing good about losing that too, that would be terrible. Or they could get back on the horse at the league and beat ATM to win second position back, which could happen but they really need to do that.

why is madrid a team that every opponent is always afraid of, because they are a miraculous team, madrid has often been underestimated in the semi-finals and finals of the UCL, and that will definitely continue to happen.  now madrid's performance is in doubt because they are only able to be ranked 3rd, but the la league season is not over yet, madrid will definitely take the runner-up position again.

It doesn't matter for Real Marid if they lose many games or if they had bad situations in their teams they are always dangerous teams for any opponent we know Real Madrid couldn't have a good performance in recent weeks but they still won the Copa Del Ray trophy and that's why I think there is a high chance for them to even win the game in champions league regardless of how they perform in the La Liga.

I don't underestimate real madrid in champions league , Real madrid will never allow Manchester city to kick them out from not winning champions league . If you look at Real Madrid's performance before in laliga they never took laliga serious, champions league will always be their target.

[Alanaz]

The following week, ATletico Madrid will travel to the headquarters of the team that is certain to be relegated this season, Elche. That way this match shouldn't be a problem for Atletico Madrid even though it's an away game for them. Their opponents are the worst team in La Liga this season, only tasted 3 wins and 7 draws and the rest ended in defeat from the 33 matches they have played. So they should bring home the win.

[rahmad2nd]

I don't think Atletico will hold on to the second position for so long. Madrid is trying to set their priority right. They have won the Copa Del Rey and now they are getting ready for tomorrow clash with Man City which won't be an easy game. Madrid might return back to their Laliga form when they have settled scores with City. It is a difficult task that awaits them in the CL.

Only 5 matches remain, for sure Diego Simeone will continue to target victory when his team goes game by game. they have no ambition whatsoever, other than maintaining their form and winning all their remaining matches. that way, Atletico will remain in 2nd place until the end of this season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid's focus is on the Champions League and their current opponents are the toughest. previously Madrid had overthrown Liverpool, then Chelsea. now, Madrid face Manchester City. of the three Premier League clubs, City are the most consistent and formidable team. this fight, will be a tense match for both Los Blancos supporters and TheCitizen. to be sure, Carlo Ancelotti will focus on his team first before his team melaloni match in the La Liga competition. after all, being ranked 3rd will not have any effect on Madrid.

But apart from all that, I personally really appreciate Xavi, because since Xavi became coach of Barcelona, in fact Barcelona has been very good for results in La Liga. Even though Xavi hasn't been able to deliver great results in Europe, but I think so far Xavi has been good enough in building Barcelona to have a very good performance in the domestic league.

Xavi deserves high appreciation for his success in building Barcelona's mentality which collapsed in the era of the previous coach. I agree that Barcelona has been on a good path since Xavi returned to Barcelona, ​​but of course he needs a lot of support both morally and financially to build a better team.

Barcelona can't really compete in Europe because of the squad depth they have, but if all these players stay and Xavi gets a few additions of player next season then I think Barcelona will do great in Europe next season. Xavi is very likely to secure one additional title (La Liga) this season as proof that Barcelona has risen. But I hope Barcelona will do better in the Champions League next season after Xavi has failed to do so in the last two seasons.

I understand that Real will go to UCL next season anyway, but being third is such a shameful result. This team won la liga plus ucl last season, just last season, and in a single season they may lose UCL and be third in the league. That is just way too bad and I feel like that shouldn't really be considering a good season at all, that is a season to forget for them. Forget about the cup and all, that means nothing.

From here on out, the only thing that can make this season alright is beating City and then getting UCL whoever they face on the final game, but there is absolutely nothing good about losing that too, that would be terrible. Or they could get back on the horse at the league and beat ATM to win second position back, which could happen but they really need to do that.

I don't know what happened to Real Madrid, so they have experienced many unsatisfactory results this season. Perhaps one of the factors is that the strategy used by Real Madrid is somewhat monotonous. I don't mean to say their strategy was bad, it's just that now such a strategy can be read by opponents, making it easier for the team facing it to anticipate the moves that Real Madrid usually makes. However, they still won trophies, including the Copa del Rey trophy they just won. In the Champions League they have to perform even better to beat Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid showed that they are still there at the end of this season. At the start of the season they struggled to find their form. However, over time they slowly returned to find the shape of their game. Even though they still have much to improve, what they showed today was extraordinary. The second position they occupy now is inseparable from the unsatisfactory results that Real Madrid often gets.

Atletico Madrid are still not calm when the points with Real Madrid are still very thin because if Real Madrid wins the next match on May 14, then they still have the potential to take second place from the top of the standings, and they must work hard to get maximum results. So far, teamwork can strengthen defense when on the field and will be very efficient because Real Madrid only relies on a few players to win.

Yes, the distance between them is still very tight and it becomes a threat to them. Now the only way for them to stay in this position is to win 3 points from every game. They don't have to wait for Real Madrid to drop points again, because now it is they who decide where they will finish at the end of the season. They didn't miss a chance when Real Madrid dropped many points, and now they are in control of their own destiny. ATletico Madrid only have one focus because they only have games in La Liga, that's probably what got them to where they are now.

It is difficult to put it this way as they just won the Copa del Rey and are in the semifinals of the Champions League. Saying that there style is monotonous and can be read by opponents can't be correct here. I think they have just one of these seasons where not everything works out all the time in La Liga, a competition that is perhaps not the most important in the minds of the players. They have shown different faces in different competitions. When Barcelona is so much "stronger" in La Liga, Real Madrid has still destroyed them in the Copa del Rey. Beating Barcelona in the Camp Nou with 0-4 when they were 0-1 down isn't really a very good proof for Real Madrid to play a monotonous strategy. Actually I think that their strategy is very strong, but they didn't have the same intensity in La Liga as they had in the Champions League.

But I see it that way, we can see the same strategy always exhibited by Carlo Ancelotti even from the previous season. Previously they had a lot of players who were at their best level, so that helped them implement the strategy well, even though from a reading point of view, the opponent actually understood their strategy very well, but when many players have decreased in terms of performance, the opponent will take advantage of that.
Real Madrid can be concluded that this season is not the best season for them, several painful defeats prove that they are indeed in a bad state.

[izsara]

Barcelona can't really compete in Europe because of the squad depth they have, but if all these players stay and Xavi gets a few additions of player next season then I think Barcelona will do great in Europe next season. Xavi is very likely to secure one additional title (La Liga) this season as proof that Barcelona has risen. But I hope Barcelona will do better in the Champions League next season after Xavi has failed to do so in the last two seasons.

To be honest, with the current conditions, I'm quite doubtful about this, especially since we already know that this is probably the last season for Busquets and that Alba is at Camp Nou, on the other hand, adding a few players? they have to evict several players who are not used because obviously things like this are still difficult for them to do because as you said, they are still in very difficult financial conditions.

[Falconer]

Real Madrid can be concluded that this season is not the best season for them, several painful defeats prove that they are indeed in a bad state.

I must admit that it is the correct conclusion. Real Madrid's defense this season has been problematic as we have conceded 32 goals in 33 match. This is a bad statistic in recent seasons although Benzema and several other strikers have helped us avoid many defeats. You can compare it to the previous few seasons, so I won't argue about your conclusions.

Benzema, Vinicius and Rodrygo have all had good form this season, but when our defense is in trouble, it's not going to help us in our title race this season. In the end Real Madrid had to admit defeat in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so all of that must be corrected next season.

[tygeade]

I understand that Real will go to UCL next season anyway, but being third is such a shameful result. This team won la liga plus ucl last season, just last season, and in a single season they may lose UCL and be third in the league. That is just way too bad and I feel like that shouldn't really be considering a good season at all, that is a season to forget for them. Forget about the cup and all, that means nothing.

Or they could get back on the horse at the league and beat ATM to win second position back, which could happen but they really need to do that.

why is madrid a team that every opponent is always afraid of, because they are a miraculous team, madrid has often been underestimated in the semi-finals and finals of the UCL, and that will definitely continue to happen.  now madrid's performance is in doubt because they are only able to be ranked 3rd, but the la league season is not over yet, madrid will definitely take the runner-up position again.

The difference is that they weren't third in the league when that happened, they are now third, behind Barcelona and even ATM, and that rarely ever happens, when was the last time Real Madrid was out of top 2? This is a rare occasion and that is why they are considered weaker than they used to be.

I understand that some people may still like them, but that doesn't mean that they will do well, they just can't operate at the level they used to operate and that is why most people think City will beat them easily. This isn't a shocker because not only Madrid ended up worse, but also City got better as well, and when you think about that, compared to last years matchup, they are facing a much different series to be fair. I think that will be a very important difference for sure.

This is a bad statistic in recent seasons although Benzema and several other strikers have helped us avoid many defeats.

Yes, it is a very bad stats, too many conceded goals. Ancelotti must strengthen Real Madrid defense if they want to compete for the La Liga trophy in the next season. This season, Real Madrid has failed to win the trophy due to defense and attacking problems. I think it is not only about the weak defense, but Real Madrid attacking looks not play consistently as well.

Benzema, Vinicius and Rodrygo have all had good form this season, but when our defense is in trouble, it's not going to help us in our title race this season. In the end Real Madrid had to admit defeat in the title race with Barcelona, ​​so all of that must be corrected next season.

They may have performed well, but they can't always be in good condition. Benzema often gets injured, so he can't play in some matches. This makes a problem since Real Madrid gets difficulty in scoring without Benzema. Ancelotti must try to add more top strikers for the next season.

This team won la liga plus ucl last season, just last season, and in a single season they may lose UCL and be third in the league.

I don't underestimate real madrid in champions league , Real madrid will never allow Manchester city to kick them out from not winning champions league . If you look at Real Madrid's performance before in laliga they never took laliga serious, champions league will always be their target.

The Champions League is an important goal, of course, but it should not be the only goal. They should not set a single goal requirement. For me, the La Liga championship would also be a prestigious trophy. They feel a little better after winning the Copa Del Rey, but Manchester City will be one of their toughest matches. They have to be mentally prepared to be well prepared. First of all, they have to be sure that they will eliminate Manchester City.

[Masplanc]

Barcelona can't really compete in Europe because of the squad depth they have, but if all these players stay and Xavi gets a few additions of player next season then I think Barcelona will do great in Europe next season. Xavi is very likely to secure one additional title (La Liga) this season as proof that Barcelona has risen. But I hope Barcelona will do better in the Champions League next season after Xavi has failed to do so in the last two seasons.

Barcelona will really need to get players to make next season easy expecially for champions league. They  tried in managing the few players to have good games in laliga,  but this players wasn't strong   to have to maintain their game in champions league and europa league.

But I see it that way, we can see the same strategy always exhibited by Carlo Ancelotti even from the previous season. Previously they had a lot of players who were at their best level, so that helped them implement the strategy well, even though from a reading point of view, the opponent actually understood their strategy very well, but when many players have decreased in terms of performance, the opponent will take advantage of that.
Real Madrid can be concluded that this season is not the best season for them, several painful defeats prove that they are indeed in a bad state.

There is still a logical error because why could Real Madrid win against Barcelona 4-0 when you are saying that Real Madrid's performance decreases and their opponents were able to read their strategy? It doesn't matter what your strategy is and whether your opponent can read it, it matters how you carry it out and how mentally strong you are.

When Barcelona played tiki taka 10 years ago, all their opponents knew that they would play tiki taka and yet it was almost impossible to stop them because they took it to perfection.

Real Madrid plays the same most of the time, but they seem to have had a weak focus in La Liga games whereas in the Champions League they carried out their strategy at a higher level of concentration. The same goes for the Copa del Rey.

I think it makes most sense to now see how they are going to deal with Manchester City. We'll know more afterwards.

[indah rezqi]

Yes, it is a very bad stats, too many conceded goals. Ancelotti must strengthen Real Madrid defense if they want to compete for the La Liga trophy in the next season. This season, Real Madrid has failed to win the trophy due to defense and attacking problems. I think it is not only about the weak defense, but Real Madrid attacking looks not play consistently as well.

Maybe it's true, it happened when Benzema was absent due to injury or other reasons. Real Madrid are relying heavily on the form of Benzema as well as Vinicius although Asensio and Rodrygo have also had a hand in Real Madrid's wins. Next season Real Madrid must pay attention to defense, midfield and strikers, they have to get several new players there to compete strictly with Barcelona.

Currently Real Madrid's concentration is in the Champions League. Tomorrow they have a big match like a final even if it's only a semi-final. Manchester City will be a tough opponent for Real Madrid considering the performance of Guardiola's team is currently doing well. A little mistake will cost Real Madrid a win so I think it will be interesting to look forward to.

[snipie]

The following week, ATletico Madrid will travel to the headquarters of the team that is certain to be relegated this season, Elche. That way this match shouldn't be a problem for Atletico Madrid even though it's an away game for them. Their opponents are the worst team in La Liga this season, only tasted 3 wins and 7 draws and the rest ended in defeat from the 33 matches they have played. So they should bring home the win.

ATM will face Elche in an away game which will not be a problem for them. Their odds are way better. Osasuna and Espanyol should not be a problem too unless ATM played poorly. The real confrontation will be against Real Sociedad home and Villarreal away. I think ATM might drop few points in at least one of these games so for them, they will be happy to see Real Madrid dropping more points to secure the second spot.

[omgitsmehehe]

Real Madrid are not holding back, making sure they reached full agreement with their key players. Luka Modric will signed new contract extension with the Los Blancos in the coming days. He's one of the productive play maker in the club and Carlo Ancelotti needs him to remain in his squad. His contract will be validated until June 2024, nice to see more playing pairing with Modric and Toni kroos. It's a solid project to see Modric controlled the engine room of the club, they remained one of the top clubs in Laliga and world of football.  

[Frankolala]

Maybe Real Madrid can't win the La Liga title this season but still they are better than Barcelona as for the success rate in the Champions League. This has got clearer in the recent years I mean. Barcelona have clearly been struggling in big games there which have blocked the way for them to reach upper rounds. This is a really serious issue for Barcelona in my opinion.

Maybe Xavi is doing well in the La Liga but the fans would like to see more than that. Xavi will need to prepare his players and strategies special to Champions League games from now on. They have a potential so they should go for it.

Comparing Real Madrid with Barcelona will never end, because forever they will remain rivals, of course, each individual has his own opinion for Real Madrid and Barcelona. So yes, I think there is no point in comparing Real Madrid to Barcelona, especially when you compare it to a different tournament. Meanwhile, if you only compare Real Madrid and Barcelona only in La Liga, I think Real Madrid still has a better record too.

But apart from all that, I personally really appreciate Xavi, because since Xavi became coach of Barcelona, in fact Barcelona has been very good for results in La Liga. Even though Xavi hasn't been able to deliver great results in Europe, but I think so far Xavi has been good enough in building Barcelona to have a very good performance in the domestic league.

The two teams are both good and strong teams,which will keep on challenging themselves on who is the best in Spain. It is very clear that Real Madrid is the most successful due to its nature and buying quality and world classic players ever since their history. This strategy has fetched them with enough trophies and respect.

Barcelona is another club that has achieved a lot in its football competitions and the have been the only club that can tell Real Madrid that, they are capable of winning the their domestic league with ease and also has the confidence to play Real Madrid in tough games. Xavi has tried his best to put the club in a good form and this season was a great victory for them in Laliga because they don't have any rival in the trophy race.
