La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[HajiBagi]

In this season Real Madrid was a little bit unlucky because they lost their forward Karim Benzema and they couldn't hire any other player to fill his place and then their defender got injured hardly in the first weeks, also Thibaut Courtois got injured and Real Madrid knows he can't play for weeks, after that they hire another goalkeeper to fill his place in the next games.
When Kepa Arrizabalaga joined Real Madrid and they spent too much money on him, the fans of Real Madrid were worried about his performance but Arrizabalaga had a good performance in the previous trainings, also he attracted Anceloti's attention.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is a very good custodian who Chelsea typically uses to play their matches, so getting him to replace Courtois is a very good thing that Real Madrid did. I don't see anything wrong with Real Madrid buying him because I believe that if his performance is poor Chelsea will want Real Madrid to buy him directly rather than on a loan. Despite the fact that Real Madrid needs additional players to fill certain positions, such as the striker position, Real Madrid, in my opinion, does not lack defensive players because a player will fill the position, which is why I only highlighted the striker position.

Real Madrid, in my opinion, won't have too much trouble this season since they still have players, and those players will be regarded as the greatest in the La Liga because there isn't a single player in Real Madrid who isn't intelligent. and I think that even the stricker position that Real Madrid lacked won't be given to the team because I know that Rodrigo and Joselu can try playing in that spot, and even Bellingham can play the position if they are on the pitch. I also really like how Bellingham played in every position to boost the performance of the team.

[Sakanwa]

Indeed, Real did look unlucky with several players who suffered injuries. But during the opening of the season they didn't struggle too much with losing players who left or injuries. But if Anceloti wants to have many titles, of course I feel less sure. They don't have enough balanced players. Indeed, Bellingham's arrival became a common medicine. Another hope was Guller, but he was still injured. Anceloti has worked hard to form a team, but Anceloti seems to be limited by the team's financial condition.

The Ultimate priority is to lift the La Liga and UEFA Champions League trophy this season. With the arrival of new players, Los Blancos are not relenting, rather they got good form this season. Real Madrid seems affected by the severe injuries on their crucial players but with the present performance, they rapidly improved in their games. I would say they're on streak winnings this season without any form of weaknesses currently.  Carlo Ancelotti holding good formation on his winning team, he will get things together and probably execute solid projects for the club.

Real Madrid has played pretty well in thei first two games,while Barcleona are still trying to blend with the new players in the middle of the park.It is no doubt that Gundogan will go straight into the team and do exceptionally well with his new team mates at Barca,which he is already doing,but I can say they've not gotten to their best as they are still struggling to win smaller teams.The Laliga tittle is going to be more competitive this season than last season because it is not only the two giants teams in Barca and Real Madrid that are going to be aggressive this season,other teams like Athletico are going to compete fiercely too,but let's wait to see what happens,and who will win the tittle this season.Madrid are in an impressive form,but Barca will soon pick that form and will go back to back winning games again.

[Rengga Jati]

Wait a minute, is Real Madrid also experiencing financial difficulties at the moment? I guess this is bad news about them, but I'm not sure about that. The way Real Madrid are signing players does not reflect that they are in a bad financial situation, but perhaps Real Madrid are starting to save money for Ancelotti's last season with them.

I think if Real Madrid were not experiencing financial difficulties. However, the Club may only do certain budgeting by limiting finances for purchasing players not because of that kind of financial crisis. What's more, they have also spent a lot of money to bring in several young players at the start of the transfer market this season. So, they really have to manage their finances to stay balanced. Maybe this is a bit different from Barcelona where the club, even though they are experiencing a financial crisis, made quite a number of purchases, because they really need squads to rebuild. Maybe this is one of the differences between the club management of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

I just hope it doesn't take long before Barcelona recover their full form, because the strength of Realmadrid this season has doubled more than the previous season and they've recruited a fine  player Jude Bellingham that's adapted past and is in a very good form this season, he's got 3 goals and 1 assist in just 2 matches this is something alot of fans didn't expect and I know that Fiorentino Pérez wouldn't regret signing him for a costly fee and would be very for his arrival in the team.
 This season Barcelona might try to perform well in the group stage but they might likely not go very far in the Champions League competition because their team doesn't currently look very solid to challenge some top European teams except they recover their form before the tournament kicks off but Realmadrid in the other hand look very ready for any competition and are not even affected by the lack of a top quality striker compared to Barcelona that's got Lewandowski and still having difficulties scoring more goals against small teams.

[CLS63]

Bellingham is just an amazing transfer for Real Madrid. I think he is worth every penny of 103 million euros fee. I don't even know why Liverpool weren't more insistent on signing him. Their first offer wasn't good enough and they didn't even increase it more. They offered Caicedo more than 110 million euros for example. Isn't Bellingham worth paying that much more than Caicedo? I think he definitely is.

Anyway Bellingham has already started to perform in an impressive way. He is playing like a striker and it looks like he will make a good level of goal contribution during the season as well.

Wait a minute, is Real Madrid also experiencing financial difficulties at the moment? I guess this is bad news about them, but I'm not sure about that. The way Real Madrid are signing players does not reflect that they are in a bad financial situation, but perhaps Real Madrid are starting to save money for Ancelotti's last season with them.

Real Madrid has spent at least €129.50m building up its squad. They have signed at least 5 players including Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fran Garcia and Joselu. Two of the 5 players are players on loan, while the other 3 are signed on a permanent basis.

I think we have no proof to claim Real Madrid is experiencing a financial problem. They could sign some new players, even they signed Jude Bellingham with an expensive price. They also ever made an offer for Mbappe with a fantastic amount of money. Unfortunately, it was not enough to have a deal with PSG.   If Real Madrid is not very aggressive to sign new players, they must have a reason. Real Madrid isn't a typical club which carelessly spend money to unnecessary players. Nowadays, Real Madrid just becomes more selective to sign new players.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is a very good custodian who Chelsea typically uses to play their matches, so getting him to replace Courtois is a very good thing that Real Madrid did. I don't see anything wrong with Real Madrid buying him because I believe that if his performance is poor Chelsea will want Real Madrid to buy him directly rather than on a loan.

Kepa Arrizabalaga should have a good quality, that's why Real Madrid prefers him to De Gea. However, it is too early to say Kepa Arrizabalaga is the right goalkeeper to replace Courtois. He didn't play yet, Ancelotti still prefers Lunin as the goalkeeper now. So, I'm not sure if Real Madrid will consider to sign him permanently.

Barcelona's victory was not special and indeed it was predicted and that should have happened because Cadiz was not a balanced opponent for Barcelona, only this time Barcelona managed to penetrate Cadiz's defense well even though it took a very long time and was quite surprising because by controlling almost 80 possessions of the ball their strikers wasted quite a lot of chances and sure enough many think given Barcelona's difficulty scoring goals that this will be a game with the same result as the first game,

Well, if compared to how they performed, it really can say that you are right, Cadiz is not a balanced club to match with Barcelona. Barcelona of course has bigger chance of winning against Cadiz, that is why it is not really surprising. What I mean is at least they won this time, and ended it pretty well compared to their performance against Getafe. At least they weren't underestimated against any other club anymore. Because after all they have to win in every match to be able to continue to compete with Real Madrid for sure.


And this is where Xavi's homework is to continue to improve the squad's performance every time they appear in a match so that they are able to continue to earn full points. their main target is of course to win La Liga again and also the UCL.

[Doell]

I thought it was strange, because Kepa was brought in to replace Courtois main position as goalkeeper. But what happened instead, Kepa was only placed on the bench and Real Madrid preferred to play Lunin as Real Madrid young goalkeeper. Indeed, there is no problem if Real Madrid maximizes young goalkeepers like Lunin, because in the two matches that have been played also Lunin remains fine. But what makes me strange is, Real Madrid should not have to say Kepa will be played as the main goalkeeper, if in fact Kepa remains only a coating player on the bench.

According to the local media that I have read recently, Kepa Arrizabalaga will be played Real Madrid when they visit Celta Vigo home, reportedly this week he will be played as the main goalkeeper. His experience is not doubt, I think Kepa services will be needed especially for the UCL event, soon or later Real Madrid will make this man the main goalkeeper. Also Ancelotti may prefer him rather than Andriy Lunin, because during training also the Real Madrid coaching staff were amazed Kepa Arrizabalaga technical abilities.

So far this season it looks like Real Madrid are getting back their feet looking out how determined they are to win the first two matches they have played so far it shows that they made proper use of money to buy the rightful players needed in the team but yet I still think it's too early to rate their performance knowing that they are yet to encounter a very strong opponent like Barcelona and ATM who they are likely going to contend the league with this season. I think you are right the players of Barcelona are yet to blend with each others playing tactics may be that's why they find it difficult to win matches without much struggle.

For the teams that will likely compete for the title this season I think it's not going to be a new club other than the ones we have always seen in the past, Real Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. There's no much competition here because it's so obvious no other club will win it except the club's I listed

I have no doubt that Kepa Arrizabalaga will stand in between the sticks when Real Madrid travels to Celta Vigo this weekend because there was no way Real Madrid would sign the Spanish international and bench him while playing Andriy Lunin instead.
Courtois is sidelined for the remainder of the season and would need a miracle to recover from his ACL injury before the end of the season meaning that Kepa would remain as the club's first choice goalkeeper

You are one day over due with the loan, pay it back or I report it to your signature manager.

The best transfer win this summer was Jude Bellingham because regardless of the money Real Madrid paid for him, he had a perfect performance in this season and I think Bellingham is the player who can have an even better performance bad more potential in Real Madrid because of his age. In the last games I saw this player he had a perfect performance and he even got a chance to become the top scorer at the end of the season while he was a Midfielder.

No, I even think that Real Madrid have quite fresh finances but they don't want to spend a lot of money just to buy one player like Mbappe.

I think it's normal for someone to ask a question like that because Real Madrid haven't signed a centre-forward since Benzema left. I think bellingham can fill that gap so it's entirely possible for real madrid to save their budget while finding a quality striker at a low price.

Real madrid will go into the season with an existing squad I mean they can count on joselu if Ancelloti changes his formation.

The money they have spent on buying players this season has really depleted the savings they have, so it can be said that Real Madrid's financial condition is currently not good again because they have lost a lot of money, and of course they have to pay the salaries of new players quite a lot. At least in this last match, Real Madrid showed two wins to get off to a good start this season.

Damn, what a great game this season, when there were only TWO games?! I have a lot of sympathy for this player myself, but I think it's too early to sing Bellingham's praises. Also, let's not forget about the new championship for the player and a new scope for action and the fact that the players of the rival teams have not even looked for an antidote to his actions yet. So let's save the excitement at least until the end of the first third of the championship. There are many cases in my memory when a bright start did not lead to success and vice versa, in my memory, progressive and stable growth led to success much more often. Once again, I see the huge potential of this player in Real Madrid.

The financial condition of real madrid is not that bad. The only problem if the club must spend its money efficiently. Real madrid was just taking 1 billions loan to funding its project renovating santiago bernabeu. It was forcing real madrid needs to spend any money efficiently starting from this time. Real madrid needs to avoid FFP as well. There was no team who had unlimited money, even saudi clubs. The financial condition of real madrid is not as bad as barcelona but real madrid needs to be carefully in spending its money to the market.
The club shall have avoid floppy transfer like haazard in the past. Real madrid has so many things that need to be done. It's not only about the transfer.

It's only transfer spending. Real madrid has its own project that must be continued and it costs almost 1 billions. The club in the needs to spend money much more efficiently to control its balance sheet.
Avoid spending for unnecesary thing that will have no benefit for the club.

[Marvell1]

The experience of Xavi Hernandez is also not anything close to someone like Guardiola. And even in this short time, he has actually been able to win the La Liga title under some extreme conditions. I understand that Barcelona did provide him with some decent amount of money to be honest. But if Barcelona wants more, they will have to spend more. And that is something Barcelona cannot do right now.

Xavi has been with Guardiola.  If you look at the games, they have the same philosophy. You have to remember Guardiola takes a long time. He is also building a team, with his long period as coach unfairly comparing Xavi and Guardiola. I think Xavi is quite a genius, he has the potential to have achievements like Pep Guardiola.  He still has quite a long time to be a coach at the current age. Regarding players, maybe they have limited funds due to economic circumstances. Even yesterday I heard that they still have some players who have not made the official list in this season's competition.

Yes, I understand that he has been in the team which was coaching. And the team also got a lot of success as well. He also seems to follow the same tactics as Guardiola as well. But that does not mean he has the same experience. And experience is very important for a coach in my opinion.

If you are a player you need experience, but you also need to be younger. But when you are a coach it doesn’t matter how old you are as long as you have experience. Unless you are more than 70 probably because at that age, it is hard for a human to think straight most of the time.

Anyway, I think Xavi is doing a good job with Barcelona. Under all the problems that he is facing, and we all know he is sometimes not even being able to register players that they have acquired already,  he is definitely handling things better than a lot of other coaches.

[poodle63]

I thought that if joselu would be an ideal striker for real madrid but im wrong. Im seeing how ancelotti was seeing bellingham as a replacement for benzema instead of joselu. Ancellotti's statement was surprisingme. I never thought that if he will be saying like that.
here's what he was saying regarding bellingham in the latest interview.

Asked about Madrid's refusal to sign a striker after Benzema's exit, Ancelotti told Radio Serie A: “We believe that the arrival of Bellingham covers the absence of Karim. [Bellingham] is a serious, mature boy with a lot of quality. What he is doing is not surprising to those of us who know him, what is surprising is that he is only 20 years old."

https://www.goal.com/en/news/jude-bellingham-carlo-ancelotti-midfielder-real-madrid-replacement-striker-karim-benzema/bltd699c4b3fc5c03a4

I personally agree with him since he was not only young, but he is also a fully experienced player who can play at the various positions. Giving him an attacking midfielder position is really suit him well. 3 goals from 2 matches is an unbelievable result for an attacking midfielder.
I think that his teammates are now valuing him as good as benzema in term of positioning. I see bellingham more likely as a striker rather than attacking midfielder.

[DanWalker]

The only true competitors of La Liga who are constantly competing against each other for the title are Barcelona and Real Madrid. Without these two I do not think there are actually many competitions in the league. 6/7 years ago the league was a lot more competitive.  Atletico Madrid was actually a good team. They were even really good in the Champions League as well. But right now it has definitely become kind of a farmers league.

Barcelona definitely going to be interested in winning this match against Villareal. Barcelona have already lost some points. so they will have to win matches consistently. It is not going to be a home match for Barcelona. so that might be a little bit of problem for them.

A few seasons earlier even Atletico performed quite well by being able to take the title position, it's just that it was also the beginning of their destruction where after they got the trophy their performance declined even more to this day.
There are some conditions where I actually don't really like the same way Simeone coaches for a very long time because in my opinion things like this must change so that the club becomes fresher.
Not that Simeone is bad but if you continue to rely on Simeone, the scheme that Atletico does becomes a spectacle because it does the same scheme and formation in every season.

Back to Barcelona and Villarreal I still hope for Barcelona but I will probably watch without making a bet even though the odds are pretty good because honestly with the previous 2 Barcelona matches in terms of finishing that is lacking I am quite doubtful about this match and even if I win this possibility will only be a narrow victory for Barcelona.

For me, it is hard to trust  Barcelona as well at the start of the season. Barcelona is definitely a great team. But at the start of the season, some players are not performing well. Or at least not as expected. So it is going to be hard to predict what happens in this match In my opinion.

But of course, I expect Barcelona to win this match. But a draw is not absolutely out of the possibility for this match. The thing is if Barcelona can score, and if the attacking lineup of Barcelona can perform confidently, they are going to win. Otherwise, it will probably be a draw. I definitely do not expect this match to be a goalless draw. I think the deadlock is going to be broken at some point.

Real Madrid has spent at least €129.50m building up its squad. They have signed at least 5 players including Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fran Garcia and Joselu. Two of the 5 players are players on loan, while the other 3 are signed on a permanent basis.

Two of five player signed by Real Madrid success get regular position last two matches in La Liga, Fran Garcia filled left defender for replacing Ferland Mendy still injury and Jude Bellingham success become man of the match for Real Madrid in last two matched with contributed three goals. Its no really bad with Real  Madrid transfer activities because spent €129.50m for building team squad success won 2 of 2 matches in La Liga although not really promising performance in pre season match.

Expected with Kepa Arrizabalaga will get regular position or not, he was arrive last several days and actually still need time for adapting and upcoming match against Celta Vigo will he gets regular position or still in the bench.
