La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Frankolala]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kylian Mbappe extends his contract with PSG again. And that's what we've seen in the last few seasons as well. But if Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League or the Ballon d'Or, he will definitely have to leave PSG. Because while PSG has plenty of money, they have repeatedly failed to build a stable squad. And so Liverpool or Real Madrid would be good choices for Kylian Mbappe. Liverpool will be stronger if Kylian Mbappe joins Liverpool. And Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League will also increase.

If Mbappe extends his contract with PSG again, then this will all turn into a farce. It seems to me that even the PSG fans are already tired of his inconstancy and although he is “their guy”, unlike Messi, everything can end up being booed too. After Mbappe voiced his desire not to renew the contract, in my opinion there is no turning back.

Mbappe will be bored in PSG because he has made up his mind to leave the club. His inconsistency might be that he is tired with the club and needs a change. I believe that he will not renew is contract with PSG.  If Liverpool can be serious with the deal then he will add great impact to the club and Liverpool will be outstanding.

On the other hand, if Mpabbe join them in Real Madrid,it will be that Madrid dreams has come true and he will explore the Spanish league next season.

Is this just unconfirmed news?
Because I haven't found official news yet if Real Madrid can recruit Mbappe to be added to Real Madrid players.
What I know is that until now, mbappe does not seem to have given any answer to the offers submitted from several clubs or maybe mbappe still feels comfortable at Paris SG or vice versa if Paris SG does not agree because maybe the Paris SG manager will only agree if mbappe is paid a high price really bigger.

Same, I also haven't found any official news regarding that news. If that's the reality then Real Madrid will have a bigger chance to win all the title, we all know how Mbappe contributed in Paris, he can score a lot of goals and be the top scorer, him very deserves join with big club like Real Madrid. But anyway, that news has not been confirmed clearly we can only wait to see it on the official website Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid don't need to make huge transfers in fact. They already have a competitive squad for the La Liga title on paper. It is even competitive enough to be more successful in the Champions League on one hand. It isn't the thing Simeone didn't do in the past also. Atletico Madrid have rarely been interested in making sensational transfers.

Maybe you will say that they splurged on Joao Felix - €127m. However my point is that we don't see such transfers from them as much as Barcelona or Real Madrid do. Atletico Madrid's squad has always been impressive for many years so it is all about the right management style.

Simeone's system worked well for years in the past. It brought about very successful seasons. But now I feel the need of a big change. Simeone will stay for his last season on his contract though but I don't think they will make a big improvement in their success rate.

[shogun47]

Well, the truth is that Mbappé missed being at Real Madrid because he believed in all the promises that a sheikh could have made him, it's not bad, money can be a great factor to consider, even though he is a very young player He should also consider getting rich and having a full life in his old age, however, he closed his posts in Madrid and it is known that when a player says No to Madrid, that condemns him, no matter how much the Club needs to have a A player of his level will not hire him, because for Madrid no player is above the club, and that is something that Florentino Pérez has made known to the whole world, and it seems to me that it is not bad.

No way that Mbappe is not of any interest to Real Madrid anymore. Even though Perez implied in his wording back then that he is literally pissed off about the decision Mbappe made, I still think that he wants him in the Real Madrid team. It doesn't matter what Mbappe said, but everyone knows that he is the best player on earth right now. On a very good day Mbappe eliminates world class teams on his own. Haaland is also an exceptional player because he is so deadly and doesn't need a lot of chances, but it is still kind of more impressive to watch Mbappe accelerate with his speed, control the ball perfectly while also navigating smartly on the field and then strike as if it was a penalty. There aren't players like him these days and Perez is aware of that.

Mbappe can be a worthy replacement for Karim Benzema. I think even Mbappe can perform better than Benzema with Madrid. However, it is completely uncertain whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid. Moreover, Joselu has been recruited by Madrid management. On the other hand, Liverpool are interested in spending 300 million for Mbappe. The chances of seeing Mbappe with Real Madrid are diminishing by the day. Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans in each of the past seasons.

Kylian Mbappe has denied wanting to leave PSG this summer, he claims he only rejected a contract extension but wants to complete his already running contract at the club. Real Madrid are the only club showing serious interest and has informed PSG that they are willing to buy Mbappe for £200 million, apart from Real Madrid I am not sure Liverpool will be will want to sell their players to get Mbappe. I think moving to Real Madrid will be a boost to his career, he’s an incredible player and he’s young, PSG may be paying him a lot of money but if he wants to win ballon d’or, Real Madrid is the club he should go.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kylian Mbappe extends his contract with PSG again. And that's what we've seen in the last few seasons as well. But if Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League or the Ballon d'Or, he will definitely have to leave PSG. Because while PSG has plenty of money, they have repeatedly failed to build a stable squad. And so Liverpool or Real Madrid would be good choices for Kylian Mbappe. Liverpool will be stronger if Kylian Mbappe joins Liverpool. And Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League will also increase.

I don't know why there is so much talk about Mbappe... He's supposed to move to Real Madrid, but on certain conditions... It's a rumour so far, but PSG should offer him a contract extension with an eventual sale to Real Madrid... I haven't heard of him having to move to Liverpool... He probably wouldn't want to play for Liverpool himself... Anyway, we'll find out soon enough...

[Ryu_Ar1]

The first mistake was not looking for a striker for options when Benzema couldn't play this season indirectly also made Madrid's condition a little weaker because we know Benzema is one of the players who is always the backbone, especially when dealing with goals because he is the main target but this season, he actually had a lot of problems with his body and it couldn't be denied that it was very annoying, which was unfortunate because Madrid didn't look for striker options in transfers, in fact this backfired for them.
Now Benzema is not there but I still don't see who will replace him as a pedestal whether it will only be given to Joselu and Brahim or maybe someone else who is still not available at the moment.
They are still very great and for the midfield and wings I don't doubt the abilities of Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Rodrygo or Vini but indeed when there is no targetman who fits the same vision as Benzema before then this will still be a problem for Madrid this season.

I'm also worried about that so far, obviously because Benzema was an important player for Real Madrid from 2014 to 2023. The impact of Benzema's absence on the pitch was obvious last season, we know Real Madrid struggled to win games because of difficulty scoring goals.

Then from that, last season Real Madrid had Asensio who could help Real Madrid break the deadlock every now and then. But Asensio has now also left Real Madrid. Real Madrid's foundation for next season will be Rodrygo and Vinicius, but if one of the two has to out from team due to injury, then Real Madrid will have to face big problems.

It's undeniable that Benzema is one of the players who has underpinned Madrid's success but now that he's gone there will certainly be concerns but of course this is also the same case as when Cristiano went to Juventus because many did say it would be a bit difficult for Madrid at the time.
Now what I hope is that Benzema's replacements (currently Brahim Diaz and Joselu) in attack can put in a good performance so that the loss of Benzema is not felt too much by the squad, because it is important when looking at the condition of those who always struggle to create goals that Joselu or Brahim who in the end is made the successor to Benzema must have good instincts to score goals.
Vini and Rodrygo will still be the first choice but their job will be to rattle the defence with their pace on the flanks. Another possible option for me at the moment would be a trio of Vini, Rodrygo and Valverde in attack but this would mean Ancelotti would have to make Rodrygo more than he was this season in terms of performance.

The talent that Messi has is a natural talent that will rarely even be seen again because he really has extraordinary talent and it will be very difficult to match his performance at Barcelona so with conditions like this expecting another talent like Messi I think it will take a long time and maybe even there is nothing like it in Barcelona at the moment. But even so, of course there are other things that can be done in other ways. When expecting the same thing as Messi is difficult, they must have other conditions with a neat team scheme and performance. Even though Barcelona's golden era is still unrivaled, at least they can still compete in the domestic competition and the Champions League is already good and they have to do that for next season.
2 consecutive seasons with failure in the Champions League is a real blow for Barcelona and now Xavi has to maximize his condition so as not to win in just one competition because even if it is good but of course failing in the Champions League group stage for Barcelona is something fatal thing and should be avoided.

Agree with what you say because in this case talent for goats like Messi will be very rarely created for football because indeed he is one of the best and we are also aware that the conditions in the last decade seem to be players who are proud of in terms of performance if not Messi for sure Ronaldo so indeed talent like this will be very difficult to compete with.
But of course Barcelona's focus is even though it is a good hope but they also have to be more realistic in this matter because indeed their main focus is to get out of the zone that makes them uncomfortable at the moment both in terms of performance and financially.
This clearly takes time and it can be said that Barcelona at this time they are like starting again in the Xavi era after having been very chaotic in the Koeman and Quique Setien eras.

Now, looking at Barcelona's condition, it is actually still quite capable of competition. Players will come and go and we are definitely aware of that so even if there is no player with a character like Messi (because it hasn't been found) they still have to keep fighting to make some breakthroughs so they can continue to talk a lot in La Liga.
As you said, they still have many obstacles, especially financial problems that have still made it difficult for them in the last few seasons, so with this, of course, there must be some changes, even though it will take time, but financial problems must certainly be fixed and as soon as possible it will be completed.

I think for now their focus should only be to make the Champions League not the same as the previous season because indeed 2 failures in the Champions League in a row is clearly disturbing.

Focusing on improving in the Champions League can be good but alongside that, making some good ground to defend the title in La Liga is also important.
The current additions to the midfield with Gundogan could be a good thing but on the other hand, they still need to cut some players in order to stabilise their finances especially with Busquets out.

As for Alba, I'm still unclear about his future but I think he'll leave following Busquets who left as a free agent.

[SatoPrincess]

Ancelotti's staying at Real Madrid is good news for the team for sure. Otherwise they were going to need to find a solid manager like him as well. I have heard that Florentino Perez has plans to bring back Zidane to the job after Ancelotti's departure next summer. But I have serious doubts about this because of Zidane's attitude these days.

You must have heard that he is more interested in managing France now. However it doesn't seem very possible while Deschamps has a contract until 2026. I wonder if he is still determined to wait for that long without managing any team. Returning to Real Madrid can be superb for them considering the successes they achieved with him.

I think Ancelotti understands the game and is prepared to face whatever lays ahead of the season. He is already famous for his expertise in making good decisions in and off the pitch, I trust he will make a good team out if the young players at his disposal. Real Madrid need to bring in a few fresh legs to improve the squad for the coming season and that is what Jude Bellingham is coming to do.

Real Madrid need to bring in a few fresh legs to improve the squad for the coming season and that is what Jude Bellingham is coming to do.

Ancelotti's contract also lasts until the 2024 season, until now his dedication is only to Real Madrid. Moreover, we also know the reason he returned to Real Madrid in the first place. I have also read the news even when Ancelotti was actually chosen to be the coach of the Brazilian national team, but he said if he had to wait until his season at Real Madrid ended in 2024, because he still wanted to stay at Real Madridm There was hope that he would surpass the record for the title he got at RealMadrid. This also suggests that it is not certain that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid on next year's contract. After all, Ancelotti is very familiar with Real Madrid's characteristics, especially now that he is rebuilding Real Madrid's strength, which had dropped last season.

[Dump3er]

That's what I'm saying. Joselu performed well against a weak squad like Espanyol. He seems to be better off with a world-class and experienced squad like Real Madrid. But first of all, Joselu has to adapt well to Ancelotti's match strategy. We will not get a better performance from Joselu if he does not adapt himself well to the match strategy. But we are not sure if Joselu is considered by Ancelotti as a replacement for Benzema.

Yes, however, what Real Madrid needs is not a striker that is made better by the Real Madrid team, but vice versa. They need a striker who makes the team better. I can't think of a striker who would actually play worse or score less in a team like Real Madrid when he isn't completely stupid. Sometimes there is no chemistry between a player and a team, but in general strikers score more in better teams as better teams score more.

[Wiwo]

Since mbappe has been on the pipeline to resume at Real Madrid when the deal is done in the next couple of days to come,  he will be a good replacement for Benzema who has been a very strong pillar for Real Madrid since he came to the club.

For Real Madrid to perform better than last season even though they are the current La Liga title holder they still need to buckle up for the next season and this point that Benzema exits the club is a very crucial point for the club and for them to make further headways in the coming season their need to make adequate preparation to bring ina new replacement.

[Jody.Drummer]

Vini and Rodrygo will still be the first choice but their job will be to rattle the defence with their pace on the flanks. Another possible option for me at the moment would be a trio of Vini, Rodrygo and Valverde in attack but this would mean Ancelotti would have to make Rodrygo more than he was this season in terms of performance.

This has been implemented in a number of matches this season, but the results don't seem to satisfy Ancelotti because, as you said, when you really want to make some breakthroughs, especially the new trio in attack with Rodrygo as the foundation for scoring goals, he really needs to be honed even more in terms of instinct.
Rodrygo's development has actually been very visible in the last 2 seasons and I quite like how quickly he mastered and provided answers to the doubts that Madrid fans felt. But indeed this season is clearly different because before when he could perform well of course there was still Benzema who, even though he didn't score a goal, but put pressure on and the defenders couldn't let go. but this time when he becomes the focus of the club then it is certain that he must be prepared to receive strict guard.

[RockBell]

Mbappe can be a worthy replacement for Karim Benzema. I think even Mbappe can perform better than Benzema with Madrid. However, it is completely uncertain whether Mbappe will join Real Madrid. Moreover, Joselu has been recruited by Madrid management. On the other hand, Liverpool are interested in spending 300 million for Mbappe. The chances of seeing Mbappe with Real Madrid are diminishing by the day. Mbappe has disappointed Madrid fans in each of the past seasons.

he will definitely do well in Madrid but I don't think for a start he will perform better it will take some time to be able to adjust to the way they play in Madrid, and sincerely if mbappe joins Madrid it will be of serious help to him since he wants to build a betterr career, at least madrid have a chance of also winning the champions league, and Liverpool also interested in him but I feel he will perform better in madrid.

Kylian Mbappe has denied wanting to leave PSG this summer, he claims he only rejected a contract extension but wants to complete his already running contract at the club. Real Madrid are the only club showing serious interest and has informed PSG that they are willing to buy Mbappe for £200 million, apart from Real Madrid I am not sure Liverpool will be will want to sell their players to get Mbappe. I think moving to Real Madrid will be a boost to his career, he’s an incredible player and he’s young, PSG may be paying him a lot of money but if he wants to win ballon d’or, Real Madrid is the club he should go.

The fact that Kylian Mbappe rejected the contract extension clearly indicates that he intends to leave the club. At some point, he wants to advance his career and also wants money, but he must make a choice because he cannot have both at once. The boy is good, though, and he originally wanted to move to Madrid because they increased his pay at PSG but later change his mind.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Kylian Mbappe extends his contract with PSG again. And that's what we've seen in the last few seasons as well. But if Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League or the Ballon d'Or, he will definitely have to leave PSG. Because while PSG has plenty of money, they have repeatedly failed to build a stable squad. And so Liverpool or Real Madrid would be good choices for Kylian Mbappe. Liverpool will be stronger if Kylian Mbappe joins Liverpool. And Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League will also increase.

If he chooses to extend his contract, he will know what is best for him. However, in my opinion, if he is serious about winning the Champions League, he should move to another club. During the World Cup, I actually liked how he played it was an amazing match. The two clubs mentioned as being the best for him are both Real Madrid and Liverpool, but I still think he would fit in better in Madrid.

Ancelotti's contract also lasts until the 2024 season, until now his dedication is only to Real Madrid. Moreover, we also know the reason he returned to Real Madrid in the first place.

After all, Ancelotti is very familiar with Real Madrid's characteristics, especially now that he is rebuilding Real Madrid's strength, which had dropped last season.

Recently i read a lot about Ancelotti at Real Madrid where he seems to have more hopes of staying until the end of his contract. Ancelotti is a great coach and nothing makes him want to leave Real Madrid sooner before the end of his contract. But something else is coming in this transfer window where the Brazilian national team will try to tempt Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid this season. But the offer may not be rejected by Ancelotti, and also not ignored by Ancelotti. But most likely Ancelotti will provide conditions in which he will train the Brazilian national team after his contract with Real Madrid ends next season.

Apart from that Real madrid are building a stronger squad for next season but I see that Ancelotti is expecting a lot of signings in this transfer window but that doesn't seem to be happening after Perez confirmed that Joselu was the last signing made by Real Madrid in the window transfers this season.

Ancelotti has made it clear several times that he wants to honor the remainder of his contract with Real Madrid. I'm sure he'll stay for at least the rest of his contract, but probably won't renew after it expires. Ancelotti is in demand by several clubs, even by the national team, but he has not thought anything about his future because he wants to focus on Real Madrid.

Perez is a bit crazy in my opinion, I mean he was overly optimistic that Real Madrid didn't need a replacement for Benzema so he stated that. If Real Madrid fail to find a replacement for Benzema then I really can't expect them to win the title next season. Barcelona is much better because of Lewandowski, while Madrid is very doubtful even though we have Rodrygo and Vinicius.

[AakZaki]

So far I'm not sure if Joselu is really the right signing for Real Madrid or if it's just an alternative when they leave Benzema. Real Madrid need a better striker than Joselu, but I don't see them in too much of a rush to do it. It is possible that Real Madrid will not sign another striker in the transfer market, but they will in the next transfer market.

There were several top strikers linked with them during the transfer window but none of them actually came through. Kane, Oshimhen, Mbappe and several others have been linked, but so far there has been no clear news from them.

Let's take a look at this season, last season Real Madrid did not make many new player transfers. Next season Anceloti has some changes in players, at least I already know four new players who will join. But indeed I am not sure about this yet, I hope he has another chance to buy new players. I still doubt they will still struggle to face Barcelona next season. The management and Anceloti should be more serious about this season. They have to learn from the strength of Barcelona last season who left Madrid with a considerable difference in points. Another factor is because Anceloti does not have even players for a busy schedule.

[Docnaster]

Real Madrid need to bring in a few fresh legs to improve the squad for the coming season and that is what Jude Bellingham is coming to do.

Carlo Ancelotti I know for sure will remain as the Real Madrid manager for at least for one more season with Madrid and that's because of the fact that he's been very phenomenal with the Madrid side since his took over the managerial role of the club.
Real Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world at the moment and with the kind of quality players in their possession, almost every manager would happily accept to manage someone

[Raflesia]

That's what I'm saying. Joselu performed well against a weak squad like Espanyol. He seems to be better off with a world-class and experienced squad like Real Madrid. But first of all, Joselu has to adapt well to Ancelotti's match strategy. We will not get a better performance from Joselu if he does not adapt himself well to the match strategy. But we are not sure if Joselu is considered by Ancelotti as a replacement for Benzema.

I think in this case it depends on Joselu as well.
Indeed, for this season Joselu at Espanyol even though their squad can be said to be in a slump but he can play well that is something good, but on the other hand we also have to realize that being in an ordinary club with a top-tier club is different. The comparison between Espanyol and Madrid is too far in this regard and it could be that it can interfere with the adaptation of Joselu which makes his performance decrease.

Underestimating the moment is too bad but having high expectations could also be a mistake because we still don't know whether or not he can compete with other players in Madrid.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Atletico Madrid don't need to make huge transfers in fact. They already have a competitive squad for the La Liga title on paper. It is even competitive enough to be more successful in the Champions League on one hand.

If Atletico Madrid needs trophies next season, especially the Champions League, the club seriously needs to sign new players. Atelitico Madrid's performance is not weak for now and it has always been not that bad over the past few seasons, but every club needs to upgrade its team in order to achieve their aim. If Atletico Madrid add some good players to their squad, that will really help the club because if any of their first eleven players carry injuries, the club can have a replacement for that.

But if Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League or the Ballon d'Or, he will definitely have to leave PSG. Because while PSG has plenty of money, they have repeatedly failed to build a stable squad. And so Liverpool or Real Madrid would be good choices for Kylian Mbappe. Liverpool will be stronger if Kylian Mbappe joins Liverpool. And Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League will also increase.

Kylian Mbappe can still win the Champions League without joining another team; all I believe it is time, and when the time comes, they will win it. The PSG squad is not always  bad that they can't win the Champions League. Let's just see what will happen next t wo season. In fact, even Manchester City tried for many seasons before it won the last season own.Even if MBP joins Liverpool, there is no assurance that it will win the Champions League there because even Liverpool team is weak for now.

[Google+]

Let's take a look at this season, last season Real Madrid did not make many new player transfers. Next season Anceloti has some changes in players, at least I already know four new players who will join. But indeed I am not sure about this yet, I hope he has another chance to buy new players. I still doubt they will still struggle to face Barcelona next season. The management and Anceloti should be more serious about this season. They have to learn from the strength of Barcelona last season who left Madrid with a considerable difference in points. Another factor is because Anceloti does not have even players for a busy schedule.

Well, last season Real Madrid had to fall far behind in points from Barcelona.The difference in points is 10 until the end of the season. Asensio left and Benzema has left so ancelotti really needs another striker of good quality to fill the gaps in the front lines. Joselu, who has been successfully brought in by Real Madrid in the transfer window this season but is still in doubt about his performance next season, will he be able to make a big contribution to Real Madrid or will he not be able to do it.

For now I think their rivals, Barcelona are more thorough in signing players in this season's transfer window. It looks like they have been very quiet about approaching their target player but one of the big successes was getting a stronger injection of power when they got Gundogan on a free transfer.

[arimamib]

César Azpilicueta's experience might mean a lot to Atletico Madrid, but at 33 years of age, of course, his quality is not as good as before and he can't play optimally anymore, but because the transfer fee is free, Atletico Madrid is a little lucky.
So far I haven't seen any significant movement in the Atletico Madrid team to improve their team to overshadow next season.

Atletico Madrid luck indeed from this signing as he is a free transfer player. 33 years old is still not too old and I think he will be a big hope for Atletico Madrid defense next season. Atletico Madrid did not make many changes in the transfer window because they identically used the existing squad for next season.

Teams from Laliga that often revamp their squad are Barcelona and Real Madrid because these two teams are far better financially than other teams. For Atletico Madrid, if they don't make big changes, they will likely continue to experience difficulties in the race for the Laliga trophy.
