La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ginsan]

The news that I heard between Real Madrid and Mbappe's side had only been having personal talks and nothing more. And indeed a club like Real Madrid will definitely be careful in this regard. They definitely don't want to get penalized later if they do something that breaks the rules.
What is clear is that Real Madrid have made a good offer on a personal level which makes Mbappe seem confident enough to join Real Madrid next season after his contract expires. And it seems that PSG has started to realize this. So PSG is trying to release Mbappe in this transfer market. But no suitable club yet. And finally, PSG is now trying to continue to benefit by going on loan to Mbappe
interested clubs and reportedly one of the Premier League clubs, namely Liverpool, is interested in borrowing Mbappe's services for one season.

By the way, Real Madrid currently seems to have a bit of trouble in their line of attack. In the two pre-season matches Real Madrid did not show good goal productivity from their forward players.

In my opinion, Mbappe will join Real Madrid next season, not this season, because Real Madrid in this transfer window did not push themselves too hard to recruit Mbappe on the grounds that they did not want to waste the large amount of money that PSG wanted. Other than that they can count on joselu for next season before they sign mbappe next season.

Mbappe transfer saga is not very interesting because he only wants to join Real Madrid, so that other teams will not be Mbappe's destination in this transfer window. Even for Liverpool, I think their attempt to borrow Mbappe will not work if you look at the current situation.

Dembele signing hasn't still been completed by PSG but it is close to be finalized. As far as I know they have still managed to agree for his release clause worth 50 million euros. Barcelona are waiting on this transfer to be completed officially as soon as possible. Because they have other plans after that.

They are targeting to bring Cancelo to the team by using that money. It would be a really good transfer of course but won't they bring another good winger? I don't know if Xavi is planning to move on with the wingers he has currently.

Real Madrid loss against Juventus on pre season match 3-1 last few hours, its become second time in a row for Real Madrid losing in pre season match after last games defeated by Barcelona. Its not really good for Real Madrid although as pre season match because without two weeks later they will play in La Liga. Against Juventus, Real Madrid dominance in ball possession and shot on target but its can't helped Madrid for winning the match.

Last match against Juventus become last pre season match for Real Madrid, next match against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and Carlo Ancelotti must back to the top performance in domestic league. Although have weakness on striker position after not clear transfer Mbappe, Real Madrid have perform as well as in La Liga and Champion League next season.

Real Madrid has performed very poorly in two warm-up matches, first losing to Barcelona and then again losing to Juventus. I can't find enough reasons why Real Madrid's performance is so bad. Although these were only friendly matches against Barcelona and Juventus, the results of these friendly matches will certainly make Real Madrid think. The match against Juventus looked like Real Madrid might have forgotten to score goals and have forgotten to defend goals. Real Madrid is one of the best teams in La Liga so far and is considered as one of the favorites in La Liga and Champions League for the upcoming season. Such a performance from them before the start of the season is really disappointing.

Barcelona are waiting on this transfer to be completed officially as soon as possible. Because they have other plans after that.

Xavi was still feeling disappointed with the decision being made by dembele but the main problem is now if dembele has been choosing to leave from the club to join in the PSG. Barcelona can do nothing as dembele has asked permission to the club directly to let him leave to the PSG.
Dembele's transfer was still in the process but it will be completed very soon. You shall not feel worry about that. Dembele's transfer will be completed as soon as possible. Barcelona gonna announce vitor roque as a replacement for dembele. The problem if vitor may not able to adapt to the club easily. It needs time for him unlike dembele which has been playing in barcelona for many years.

Canceloe will be used to strengthen barcelona's defensive line

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cancelo-barcelona-manchester-city-transfer-27445826

Barcelona is very close in getting him right now and i expect there will be a huge progress gonna happen in cancelo's transfer in upcoming days. Everything is still remain positive at this time for cancelo's transfer. Barcelona had bought vitor roque. There's no need to buy another winger.

Real Madrid loss against Juventus on pre season match 3-1 last few hours, its become second time in a row for Real Madrid losing in pre season match after last games defeated by Barcelona. Its not really good for Real Madrid although as pre season match because without two weeks later they will play in La Liga. Against Juventus, Real Madrid dominance in ball possession and shot on target but its can't helped Madrid for winning the match.

I didn't anticipate Real Madrid to lose to Barcelona and Juventus in this manner, even though it was the preseason. They were defeated by three goals from Barcelona and Juventus. I can't say much about this right now, but I think Real Madrid is already missing Benzema because they control Juventus and even have eight shots that are on target but only manage to score one goal. This is just unbelievable.do you hope that Real Madrid's poor goal-scoring performance won't influence their domestic league now that the La Liga season is about to begin?

Last match against Juventus become last pre season match for Real Madrid, next match against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and Carlo Ancelotti must back to the top performance in domestic league. Although have weakness on striker position after not clear transfer Mbappe, Real Madrid have perform as well as in La Liga and Champion League next season.

Real Madrid has a team that can compete well in their domestic league, but I believe their striker should be their worst weakness, thus they need someone like mbappe on the front line to contribute to their goal scoring. I don't know why Real Madrid isn't seriously considering mbappe's move, but I believe Real Madrid isn't prepared to match the asking price PSG is asking for mbappe. Perhaps they simply intend to sign him for the next year. But let's wait and see how they do in their first domestic game before I say too much about them at this time.

Real Madrid are only in need of a centre-forward now and after that they should be good to go. However there is no certain target that they are going after now. As Mbappe is likely to join them by next summer they will need to improve their attempts for another player. They had some targets before in fact.

However one by one all of their targets are getting close to be signed by other teams lately. For example Vlahovic was one of their targets and he is quite likely to sign for Chelsea in case there is an agreement on the fee. Kane is also about to sign for Bayern Munich soon.

Losing to Juventus in a friendly match made a lot of speculation about Madrid doubts about next season. In my opinion, the transitional phase that Real Madrid is carrying out is still far away, the La Liga competition is getting closer and the news is spreading fast. However, we cannot conclude whether Madrid is ready or not with the current squad. Anyone can judge it and hopefully this does not bode badly for his form next season. Madrid recovery phase is the same as when Messi left Barcelona, stability is lost, and the players' performances are poor, preoccupied with internal and external problems which results in inconsistent squad depth in every game.

A top team like Real Madrid who are considered to be the best team in La Liga and Champions League will perform so poorly in this friendly match. Really it looks disappointing for Real Madrid played two matches they lost both matches massively. No one could have imagined that Real Madrid would perform so poorly against Juventus. But I think Real Madrid have a lot of weaknesses which is why they are performing so poorly in their friendlies. Whereas Real Madrid were much stronger when Karim Benzema was there and had one of the types of their game. However, the absence of Karim Benzema may have led to Real Madrid's poor performance due to lack of good players in that position. However, how well Real Madrid can start the season makes everyone wonder after seeing their disappointing performance.

[Leviathan.007]

There was some news about Pedri leaving Barcelona after Dembele left this team, while he said he doesn't want to leave and he want to win the champions league with this team. Pedri had a good performance in the last season and he had a huge effect on Barcelona winning the La Liga title and I'm sure even Barcelona doesn't want to lose a player who is important for their team like Pedri.

Actually Real Madrid only need at least 1 or two for their attacking players so that the attack line can be sharper to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Mbappe himself doesn't seem to be joining Real Madrid even if it's for next summer because Real Madrid's own management has issued several responses that it's difficult to spend a big budget just for Mbappe.

Vlahovic is actually a reliable striker and could provide quite a bit of contribution in every game when he with Juventus but again that he might be closer to Chelsea.
The League season will start soon and Real Madrid must be able to really prepare their best players so they can compete with other clubs who are quite strong too.

Well we knew that Real Madrid had problems up front, it is no coincidence that they are looking for a replacement for Benzema who has fitness problems due to his age
I don't know if he's succeeding but the market is certainly not favourable, let's see what happens

It seems that Real Madrid prefers the option of waiting until Mbappe contract expires with PSG then they can recruit him for free next season. As you can see, Real Madrid prefers to remain silent rather than make an official offer to sign Mbappe. Real Madrid cool attitude has led to various kinds of speculation to the public, even though they really need a quality striker to replace Benzema role.

Real Madrid weakness is in the striker position, so far they have just brought in Joselu who is 33 years old, based on his age, he is not the main one in Ancelotti squad. Based on the needs of clubs on every front, Real Madrid really needs a quality striker to increase their attack power.

[Despairo]

The reason why Real Madrid lose against Juventus is Real Madrid use a strategy where it depend on Bellingham as an attacking midfielder. They're more comfortable when the midfielder backing up other midfielder and working together.

But it's clear there are so many chances in Real Madrid, but their strikers weren't able to maximize it.

I also have the same opinion about Real Madrid. They really need someone who can fill the void left by Benzema. Joselu and Vinicius Junior don't seem good enough to fill the void. They are good but they can't replace the striker that Real Madrid needs. Overall Real Madrid played well. But this club only lack sharpness in attack. This club needs players who are hungry for goals. And we can already guess the figure that Real Madrid needs. Namely Mbappe. But somehow this club still remains silent about Mbappe. In fact, I was surprised by Real Madrid's attitude, which seemed to have no worries about losing Mbappe when there was currently intense news about several clubs interested in and approaching Mbappe. And I feel the decision to wait until next season for Mbappe is very risky for the club. As we have seen, even in several pre-season matches, Real Madrid always have difficulty completing their attacks. But I hope Real Madrid shows a different game in the real season. I hope that what is shown in Pre-season is not the true game of this club.

If they intend to sign Mbappe as a free agent then it will come with a cost. PSG said Mbappe must sign a new contract or leave the club. If he insists he wants to stay till next season, the club said they are ready to keep him on the bench for the entire season. He might even be banned from training with the main team which might affect his performance. The price is that the French striker will be willing to stay on the bench and PSG will also be willing to waste money on his wages. The decision to attract Mbappe to Real Madrid next season might not be coach Ancelotti's decision because he will be leaving the club for a new role with the Brazil national team after the end of this season. 

From Real Madrid's last game against Barcelona, it was glaring that without a natural striker in the team, the club might find it difficult to maximize goal-scoring chances. They missed so many opportunities in the game because they lacked a natural number nine. The game against Juventus also proved the need to get a striker where they had thirty-four shots, eight on target, and scored just one goal after having total domination of the game. If Mbappe is too expensive, the club should seek cheaper options.

[BlackBoss_]

I also have the same opinion about Real Madrid. They really need someone who can fill the void left by Benzema.

They know about that problem better than any other and they planned to replace Benzema with Mbappe since the last three seasons but so far they have yet completed tha transfer. They came closely to have Mbappe in the last summer but eventually the player decided to stay in PSG. In this summer, many news that Mbappe and Real Madrid already got agreement to bring the player to Bernabeu in the next summer as a free agent from PSG.

And we can already guess the figure that Real Madrid needs. Namely Mbappe. But somehow this club still remains silent about Mbappe. In fact, I was surprised by Real Madrid's attitude, which seemed to have no worries about losing Mbappe when there was currently intense news about several clubs interested in and approaching Mbappe.

As we have seen, even in several pre-season matches, Real Madrid always have difficulty completing their attacks. But I hope Real Madrid shows a different game in the real season. I hope that what is shown in Pre-season is not the true game of this club.

They are confident because they are one of strongest clubs in Europe, in Champions League and with success of the club, they helped many star players to win Ballon d'Or. It is very solid reason for their strong belief that Mbappe will aim at Real Madrid as his next destination. Assume the news is true, Real Madrid have little fear that they will lose Mbappe to another big club in Europe if he no longer stays in Paris and plays for PSG.

But it's clear there are so many chances in Real Madrid, but their strikers weren't able to maximize it.

Yes, I quite agree and actually Bellingham is more suitable as a box to box central midfielder than a false nine attacking midfielder. But indeed from the start of the pre-season match, Ancelotti wanted to emphasize the 4-4-2 diamond formation with Vini and Rodrygo as the axis of attack but it seemed that for Vini this did not make him comfortable. The duet of Vini and Joselu in the match against Juventus was also unsatisfactory and there was very little cooperation between the two.

Apart from that, Real Madrid's defense was also very bad, so they conceded more goals. I think there should be further improvements and as much as possible Ancelotti should be brave to use the 4-3-3 formation as usual by entrusting Joselu as the main striker. We know last season Joselu scored 16 goals for Espanyol, so I don't think it's a bad thing to implement.

Real Madrid knows how big of a player that Kylian Mbappe is and the kind of huge positive impact he's gonna bring to the club if he's finally signed to the Spanish La Liga giants and that's why they're doing anything to make the Frenchman commit his future to the club.
Madrid knows the huge cost of buying a world class player like Kylian Mbappe and that's why they want him to join the club as a free agent by next summer. The striking role of the club that was left vacuum with the departure of their former club captain will definitely affect the team's performance if not properly replaced. So I think they should get a temporary striker that'll fill that role for the new season before the supposed arrival of Mbappe by next summer

Even bellingham can do nothing against juventus. This guy still lacks of experience. He needs more experience in the football. Im very surprising to see that madrid was making more than 35 shoots but only 8 shoots were on target which is very bad.
Madrid's strategy was not going so well. Bellingham shall not become main chooose for madrid for the upcoming season.

But it's clear there are so many chances in Real Madrid, but their strikers weren't able to maximize it.

Joselu was very under perform in this match. He can do nothing. 1 goals from so many shoots which are very bad result for madrid. Madrid was always getting its goal from vini. The striker seems to be useless in this match.
Madrid shall get a new striker, mbappe may become a solution for this.

I will still put Barcelona ahead in La Liga. Because since the departure of Benzema from the Real Madrid team, the finisher department of the team is in a very bad condition, while everyone from the defense to the attack department of the Barcelona team is complete.

The possibility of Mbappe coming to Real Madrid is very high because Mbappe has expressed many times that he doesn't want to continue with PSG, and Real Madrid is the club he's very interested in and will join when his contract expires. Real Madrid is targeting many contracts, and among them, I see Harry Kean as the most reasonable option right now for Real Madrid.

But it's clear there are so many chances in Real Madrid, but their strikers weren't able to maximize it.

Real Madrid is testing Bellingham with this position, and I believe everything is just beginning with him, so it's not bad to have some losing matches. He needs more time to adapt and adjust his playing because he's still very young, and there's so much potential to develop.
