La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[shogun47]

La Liga first match will play on Augustus 13 but Real Madrid still not sign replacement for Karim Benzema position, after Benzema departure Madrid still difficult sign top center forward although rumor with Mbappe and Harry Kane but four weeks left before La Liga will play still can't sign them. Have one center forward as Joselu is not enough for Real Madrid actually have play in many competition next season and Ancelotti have find back up position for Joselu.

Actually, Joselu is not on higher level to be first choose because less experienced with top teams and he hasn't any special performance although last season success scored 15 goals with Espanyol.

Real Madrid without Benzema is like a spear that has lost its sharpness, but they are currently have Joselu and I think we have to give this guy a chance to prove his quality. Also Real Madrid first match in new season is against Bilbao, there is a possibility for Real Madrid will not lose points, because Real Madrid is not lost other main strikers I mean Vini and Rodrygo are still in the Real Madrid squad. But yeah, to play in the Europa big events, Real Madrid must have a new more experienced striker, Mbappe is a good option but at the moment him situation is not clear.

I agree with you Karim Benzema was one of Real Madrid's best strikers. The Belgian has been one of the main contributors behind Real Madrid's great achievements. So it remains to be seen what kind of performance Real Madrid will perform without Benzema in the next season.

Karim Benzema the Belgian? Interesting, tell me more about him, I have never heard of Benzema the Belgian!

Joselu is a standart striker who will have a decent number of goals at the end of the season if he plays most of the games, but Real Madrid needs a striker who can win them games that they otherwise wouldn't have won. Often times that makes the difference although I don't want to neglect the team effort here. Inter Milan was a good example for a team effort success in the last Champions League season, but it is not forgotten what Benzema did for Madrid the season 21/22. Without him they wouldn't have won it.

Another experienced player who transferred to Inter Miami was Sergio Busquets.The 35-year-old experienced player has left Barcelona.It was a good adventure for him.We are talking about a player who has served and played for Barcelona for 15 years.This transfer took place without a transfer fee.
Barcelona, on the other hand, transferred Oriol Romeu from Girona for a fee of 3.5 million euros. Although the player is 31 years old, he is an experienced player who knows the league and can be useful for Barcelona.

Inter Miami is likely to gather several former Barcelona players such as Messi, Busquets, Suarez, Jordi Alba and maybe there are others too. But yes, i don't think it will be very interesting either because after all, the opposing teams or competing teams there don't have star players like what is happening in the Saudi Professional League at this moment. Also related to Oriol Romeu, who was successfully brought in by Barcelona, even though Oriol Romeu is not new to La Liga, but I personally not entirely sure that Oriol Romeu can make a big contribution to Barcelona.

I think there is a mistake isn't Benzema the striker from France not from Belgium, I think there is a mistake with that, as we know no one can replace Benzema in madrid although there is maybe Mbappe is the right player to replace Benzema in madrid, although so am I Haven't seen the complete Madrid main squad at this time, is everything enough or are there still other players who will be brought in in the near future.

I'm not a madrid supporter but I often read about them everywhere, almost the news about Mbappe going to Madrid, I'm still wondering whether that will happen or not, if it happens of course Madrid will be the strongest club that might be able to help Madrid achieve a treble winner this season This.

sorry but are you sure Mbappe is going to Real Madrid? In my opinion not, in my opinion it's a plan that he made as we said a few pages before
At the moment I don't think PSG are giving him away for little money, so I don't think anything can be done about him

What you think is true, but the competition will be open to all teams. If other teams besides Inter Miami want to compete and want to win titles, then a move to bring in a former top European player is also worth considering. We know that all leagues have different competitiveness and levels of competition, so it definitely won't be perfect.

The MSL and the Arab Pro League are different, they have never been the same. So when we make a comparison between the two leagues, of course there are many disadvantages and some advantages between the two. What is clear is that the players will enjoy the new challenges in their respective leagues, the rest we are just observers.

The Mbappe, PSG and Real Madrid saga is taken much time as Mbappe is yet to determine is final decision to PSG. PSG are being careful of not to lose Mbappe to a free transfer and Real Madrid that wants him, I’m not sure they’re  ready to pay the asked price for Mbappe by PSG. We don’t know or can tell how long this deal is going to end but a final minute decision will be made concerning this and I’m very optimistic about it happening which come as a shock to all of us.

The most interesting thing is that during this transfer window, Real Madrid is officially trying to advertise its participation or interest in the situation around Mbappe, although of course it is clear that the main beneficiary at the moment is Real Madrid. The most surprising thing is that if you believe the rumors, Mbappe agreed to extend his contract in order not to leave PSG for free, but the departure of Benzema from Real Madrid forced Mbappe's side to change their plans.

Real without Benzema can expect very difficult times indeed.... Especially if they can't find any good top class attacking player.... But still all the talk about Mbappe is just rumours for now.... He probably won't play for Real this year.... And there's probably nothing wrong with that for either of them....

I am not a Madrid fan but I pretty sure that Madrid will be able to go through a difficult period without Benzema next season. there are still quite a number of players that can be relied on in the Real Madrid line-up, it just that this task will be a big problem for Ancelotti because it not easy to improve the performance of all the players without a star player in the team formation.
we don't need to have to talk about Mbappe because this is just an endless hope, I mean hoping that Madrid can bring in Mbappe just an impossible story that won't come true because on the one hand Mbappe currently doesn't have any clarity regarding Real Madrid.
there is one thing that makes me sure for the future of Madrid is that Ancelotti has a lot of experience that can bring Real Madrid to come strong in the summer and even though I am not a Real Madrid fan I will still bet on Madrid.

Without Benzema, Real may experience the same difficulties as Barcelona once had when Messi left the club... At that moment they had a crisis and the management started to change the coaching staff... And only Xavi was able to save the situation... I fear that this situation will not happen to Real Madrid next season... During this summer they need to find a good player...

I have some hope for him this year, as he scored 16 goals with Espanyol last year. I think Joselu is a football player who has the ability to play in the Spanish national team and in the first team of Real Madrid. However, if it is possible to transfer a good player to this region, it would be great for Real Madrid. Ancelotti will also make good use of Rodrygo at this stage.

I think @MuffinMaster does not know Benzema's nationality, he's a French footballer incase you mistook him for a Belgian and I get your point because he's regarded as one of the best strikers of his time having scored over 300 league goals in his career for Realmadrid a figure that was only surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo, he had a great time at Madrid with a good scoring ability which also helped them to win most troophies, also his good record in the 2022 championship league season made it possible for him benzema to emerged as the Ballon d'Or winner.

 That's a record I don't see joselu achieving in Realmadrid because of his age, i consider him an average player and shouldn't be compared to a world class striker like Benzema, well with time we'll be able to know if he'll clear my doubts and have close to 30 goals a season like benzema does, left for me I'll prefer players like Harry Kane or Benzema's country man Mbappe that's proved themselves worthy and is sure of getting the goals and delivering up to 30 goals or more in a season which is what Realmadrid needs.

However, if it is possible to transfer a good player to this region, it would be great for Real Madrid. Ancelotti will also make good use of Rodrygo at this stage.

It is interesting to read Joselu statement on the Real Madrid club official website, he said "I did not come here as a substitute for any player" meaning that he is fully aware of the role left by Benzema that it is impossible for him to carry out. Coming as a loan player made Joselu prefer the number 14 and refused to accept the number 9 jersey belonging to benzema, the respect shown by Joselu deserves appreciation.

Ancelotti is very familiar with his recruits including Joselu, I would be more inclined to argue that his arrival is to add options for Ancelotti if player rotation is needed or a player is injured. However, it is possible that he will have the opportunity to become the top scorer in La Liga next season if he plays regularly, because he is at the right club now, namely Real Madrid.

I'm not surprised by Joselu's statement, but maybe he's self-aware that he was never a match to replace Benzema. Joselu's quality has never been the same as Benzema's while playing for Real Madrid, so it is important to make this statement considering that Real Madrid supporters expect a good striker to replace Benzema.

It may be true that Joselu is an alternative to Ancelotti when he doesn't have a replacement striker. Joselu deserves to be considered given his experience in La Liga, but I'm sure Joselu is not Ancelotti's first choice next season even though he was brought in at a time when Real Madrid needed a striker.

Football players like Benzema are entering old age and he won't last long at Real Madrid because there will be a time when he has to retire and not play football anymore, Real Madrid must keep trying to find talented players like Benzema again by buying new players. It is very difficult to find a substitute who has the character and playing style of Benzema. Mbappe is not really a Real Madrid player so if they call Mbappe it will make Real Madrid difficult in the coming season.

What do you mean with Mbappe will make Real Madrid difficult in the coming season? Real Madrid will not target Mbappe if they don't get any benefits, I'm sure the coach and management have consider it together so they decide to make an offer for Mbappe. With the capacity it has, Mbappe is expect to help make it easier for Real Madrid conquer the competition they is participate in.

We agree, that Osimhen will not leave Napoli. the problem is, it's not that the club doesn't want to let him go in this summer's transfer window. however, not many clubs are willing to propose to Osimhen at a very fantastic price. so, that's why Osimhen is most likely to stay in the Serie A League. Speaking of Real Madrid, there is a lot of speculation that says Madrid must look for options to replace the successor to the benzema succession. but in fact, so far Madrid have not made any moves in the transfer window to sign striker number 9.

To be honest I don't know what Madrid are planning, because so far there have been lots of rumors and wild speculations until now. it could be, if in the end Madrid will negotiate with PSG for Mbappe. or as Florentino Perez said, that he won't sign another striker because they have Joselu. But anything can happen, because in football there is a lot of uncertainty. besides this summer transfer window still leaves time, we'll see if Perez is interested in Mbappe in this window, or...

Napoli's expected value for Osimhen is too high to be true, but it is a good strategy so that Osimhen does not leave Napoli during the open transfer window. Osimhen is good to get the opportunity to play in elite European clubs such as in several Premier League, La Liga or Ligue 1 teams, but for his high value it is difficult to get him to move easily from Napoli.

There are only a few teams that can bring in Osimhen with such a fantastic value, but I never hope Real Madrid to be willing to pay Napoli that much just for Osimhen. It makes more sense to pay Kylian Mbappe 200 million euros instead of paying Napoli 180 million euros for Osimhen. But the current value of star players is really crazy.

[Josefjix]

I think it won't be the same because Real Madrid don't really depend on Benzema. It was proven last season when Benzema was absent that Real Madrid's performance was still good, because Real Madrid had prepared several front line players who were worthy of replacing Benzema but even so I think that finding new players who play as strikers is also very important for Real Madrid, but it seems they are still hoping for Mbappe too much.

Real Madrid doesn't depend on any player currently, they work as a team, not with regards to individuals performance. The Los Blancos remained the top competitive succeeding club in football, they have everything at their disposal, the players, the experienced Coach and chanting supporters. Carlo Ancelotti have a way of bringing in new game strategy, specifically when there's absence of their frontlines, he already signed backup replacement for these outgoing main players. Karim Benzema was no longer acquainted and useful to team performance due to his severe injury, he has to go and find some club where he would suit in their pattern.

everywhere there is always discussion about Mbappe. LOL
He just talks without any basis or without a detailed explanation and if I understand what he is saying he means that it seems difficult in terms of big salaries and very expensive transfer fees, this is wrong thinking.
According to what I know, Real Madrid really want to get Kylian Mbappe, but for free and regarding the exact salary, if it is released for free, Real Madrid officials can negotiate about salary so it won't be difficult for any club.
If Mbappe in the coming year can join the Madrid club I think it will make a very strong contribution and Real Madrid can become the strongest club in LaLiga if it really happens.
But one thing that is doubtful in this drama is that if Kylian Mbappe leaves Paris SG for free, there will certainly be many clubs after him so that the competition for Mbappe will be greater depending on the salary offered.
But looking at my point of view, it seems that Mbappe will not refuse an offer from Madrid because Kylian Mbappe also wants to appear in the Champions League final and this opportunity lies with the Real Madrid club.

But yeah, to play in the Europa big events, Real Madrid must have a new more experienced striker, Mbappe is a good option but at the moment him situation is not clear.

Real Madrid will perform well even without mbappe because, as we all know, the majority of the team is still present. With this lineup, real Madrid is likely to have a successful season next year. This lineup includes Rodrigo, Camavinga, Valverde, Modric, Kroos, and Vini Jr. I think that if these players are still part of Real Madrid, their performance will be impressive. Although I am aware that a team's striker may have a significant impact, it is impossible to compare Joselu to Karim Benzema. However, if Vini Jr. and the other team can make a positive contribution to the team's assist game, Joselu will do his best.

It would be better if Real Madrid stopped worrying about signing Mbappe this season because PSG has already started to control him and no matter how hard Mbappe tries, he doesn't have the right to leave a team when there isn't any negotiation because PSG also bought him and will want to sell it for whatever price they please.

Karim Benzema has now left the team. There's no use talking about it right now. It seems to me that Ancelotti may be planning a big change right now. Midfield has a lot of options. A serious transfer to the forward is necessary. If they get a player for the forward and this player becomes a world class name - Mbappe for example - I think no one can prevent Real Madrid.

The issue we are thinking about now may have been thought about by the team management a long time ago. With Karim Benzema leaving Real Madrid, Real Madrid now need a suitable replacement for Karim Benzema. Mbappé is trying to get Mbappe to replace Karim Benzema with a striker who performs better than Karim Benzema and has better finishing skills than Karim Benzema. There is no doubt that Mbappe is the best striker at the moment. A top team is trying to get a top striker but PSG stands in the way. The sooner the contract with PSG expires, the sooner Mbappe will be seen at Real Madrid. If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, Real Madrid will not have any competition in the Champions League or La Liga, Real Madrid will reign alone.

Real Madrid could be an undefeated team if Kylian Mbappe joins the team. They have incredible offensive power. With names like Vini, Valverde and Rodrygo behind Mbappe, Real Madrid will be a team that is feared by every team. Next year, maybe they can complete the unfinished business with Manchester City. If they encounter this squad, they have a very high chance of eliminating them.

[Distraction]

Barcelona still haven't signed a backup striker for Lewandowski. This isn't good for Barcelona when we think what can happen during the season. In case Lewandowski gets injured there will be a serious problem there. I see nobody who can be as effective as him in that position currently. Especially in critical matches it would be a disaster.

They should focus on bringing a player who can do a pretty decent job with finishing. They don't need to sign a player at Lewandowski's level. They can't even spend a lot of money in this transfer window you know. They would like to bring a decent striker at a favorable cost for themselves.

Mbappe is one player that has the capacity to change the lots of Real Madrid most especially now that the club have been sliding behind in their performance and at that,  Real Madrid will do everything possible to get the best hands against next season to be able to have an impact that will give the club another facelift in all the leagues this season.

But more also is their current team formations and how much of new players that is needed for Real Madrid to make a great impact just like the season before the last one.
