La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[nurilham]

Jude Bellingham should be the best signing for Real Madrid this season. As a midfielder, he has scored more goals than giving assist and I must say he’s exceptional amongst other midfielders. He was able to bond with the new team players very quickly and to me, it is a quality of a great player; getting easily adapted to a new environment and new players within a short period of time. If he continues in this form, he can still win the award again and again and a could soon be a high rated and most sought out midfielder in recent years to come.

So far, Jude Bellingham can play as expected. He always scored goals in each match of La Liga and becomes the top scorer. Since he is positioned as an attacking midfielder, he can be more productive in scoring now. He adapts quickly and has a crucial role in Real Madrid attacking line. Real Madrid relies on Bellingham, Vinicius, and Rodrygo to score. But lately, the most shining player is surely Jude Bellingham. So, you can assume that Bellingham as the best signing this season.

However, it is still the early of this season. Bellingham needs to maintain his good performance to prove that he is the best signing. There are still too many remaining matches, he must be ready to face some changes on the next matches.

One interesting fact is that Jude wasn't known as a scorer back in Dortmund, he wasn't playing in a way that he would have that many chances let alone actual scores, his expected goal rate was very low, not like he was incapable of scoring, it is just that the system wasn't build around him having that many chances, look at the stats and you will see that he scored only 20-30 goals his entire stay there for over 100+ games, probably about 150 games give or take.

Now if you look at him this time around, he has already started to score, this isn't because he suddenly learned how to score, he already knew it, but this time around he is given that chance and he is actually doing fine, I think it is going to be very difficult.

It doesn't matter whether he isn't known as a goalscorer at Borussia Dortmund or not, I think the achievements that Jude Bellingham has achieved at Real Madrid at this time can't be separated from the opportunities he gets when he is on the field, he gets opportunities and does his job, that's all. After all, it's still early in the season, we don't know whether he will continue to be consistent with his performance or not.

FYI, With him scoring 3 goals in his first 3 matches with Real Madrid, he managed to be on the same record as Cristiano Ronaldo, besides that he was also named the best player in LaLiga for the month of August, very good start for him, let's hope he can continue consistent with his performance.

It seems that luck is very much on Barcelona's side this season in the Champions League. Barcelona occupies the last group which is inhabited by teams that tend to be no better than them, so basically Barcelona will be the favorites to qualify for the round of 16 this season.

I know Barcelona shouldn't be happy because no one knows if they can overcome all these challenges easily. Porto and Shakhtar are not to be underestimated, but I'm sure Barcelona will go ahead as planned.

It's true that Barcelona was a little lucky this time. Because group H is not inhabited by clubs that are strong enough to beat Barcelona. But one club that will make things difficult for Barcelona is Porto. Last season Porto made many surprises. But that doesn't matter because both Barcelona and Porto have the potential to qualify for the round of 16 together.

The most difficult group in the Champions League at the moment is in group F. I think the most difficult competition is in group F.

And this season Xavi should prioritize the Champions League. Last season he only prioritized Laliga and it worked. And this season I'm sure Xavi wants to reach even higher with Barcelona, ​​namely in the UCL.

João Félix is still in contact with Atletico Madrid while he doesn't have much time left to join another team and his situation in Atletico Madrid is not good at all, since he said he wants to join Barcelona but there is not any reaction from this team, Enrique Cerezo the president of Atletico Madrid said they are waiting for an offer from Barcelona.

Real Madrid was truly devastated by what happened to its two mainstays. Courtois has found a suitable replacement, namely Kepa Arrizabalaga, while a replacement for Vinicius has not been found. Mbappe is indeed the most suitable for that position but for this season I don't think it will be possible because he is still under contract with PSG.

Those who are still under contract with other teams do not need to be seen as options for Real Madrid, who this season are in need of a replacement for that position, because Ancelotti only needs to look at clearer options from the squad he currently has. Because this position is a very crucial position for Real Madrid this season, especially considering that Real Madrid is still very short of attacking players and coupled with the increase in injured players such as Vinicius, there are already six injured players at the start of this season for Real Madrid.

To cover this shortcoming, I think Ancelotti will slightly change his scheme by establishing several other alternatives. Admittedly at this time Ancelotti does not have many options to rotate players for the attacking side but he will be forced to maximize the potential that exists in the likes of Brahim Diaz to fill that void. However, what might be a bit of a relief for Ancelotti is that Bellingham is really very reliable and his role is extraordinary, if his position doesn't change because there might be a change in scheme then I'm sure Real Madrid won't have any significant problems even if Vinicius leaves.

If Ancelotti needs to think about a new scheme for placing players who can still be used in the near future, this needs to be thought through more carefully because changing the scheme might not be more effective for Real Madrid. Because the players have to be in a position that may not normally affect the strength and appearance of Real Madrid itself.

Once again financial fair play regulations made problems for Barcelona. We know they wanted to hire more players but the FFP doesn't let them and now Xavi is waiting to have João Cancelo is histeam forthe next games they can't hire this player because of these rules, Barcelona is trying to get this palyer for a loan.

[Sakanwa]

Ansu Fati is on the verge of finalising a move to Briton in a loan deal deal.Tonight is transfer deadline,and we are expecting lots of deals to happen before tomorrow morning.Ansu Fati is a very good player that can play at right wing.Briton are in a good form,althought they lost to WestHam in a 3:1 defeat.Briton don't seem to be weak even after they lost Caicedo and Mark Alister to Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.The transfer window is almost over,and the teams that needs to get their business done have already acquired whom they wanted,and whom they believe can add to quality to their teams.Ansu Fati is a nice addition to their squad.And I hope he does his best.

Barcelona had important problem that needs to be fixed first. People were always concerning to buy him while barcelona is still struggling with its financial which is not looking good right now. Barcelona needs to comply with FFP or the club gonna face a sanction like its points gonna be deducted.
Let stupid felix waiting for barcelona to approach him but it will never happen. This guy is delutional and he can't even accept the reality. Barcelona needs to complete its financial problem first which has become the key problem for barcelona in recruiting the new players.
It's a shame felix was not able reading the situation that happened to the barcelona. He was a professional player but he could not understand the problems happened to the barca.
We will see him sitting on the bench waiting for barcelona to come for him which will never happen. Felix needs to fix his mind.

After bringing Real Madrid to 3 consecutive wins, this time Jude Bellingham won the award as the best player in Laliga for the month of August. It seems that many people were surprised by the debut of this young English player and it didn't take long for him to find chemistry with the other Real Madrid players. Jude Bellingham really deserves the award considering that almost all of Real Madrid's wins were determined by him. He scored 4 goals and 1 assist which makes him Laliga's current top scorer and the most important thing to remember is that he is a midfielder, not a striker. We are still waiting for his next performance to see if he will continue to surprise people with his greatness at this very young age.

Jude Bellingham is the kind of player that every team wants to have. He helped Real Madrid return to the top spot in the La Liga after just three games, scoring four goals and earning man of the match honours in each of those games. Bellingham is a very strong midfielder who can also play as a striker because he always keeps an eye on the goal when he is on the field, which I believe is the best thing that every midfield player should be doing. When Real Madrid first signed him, I had the impression that they were spending a lot of money on him and that he might feel pressured to perform poorly, like some Chelsea players are. However, after watching Real Madrid's first preseason game, I realised that Real Madrid had never failed to sign a player.

Real Madrid knows that Jude Bellingham has a bright future and that he will be one of the best players who will help the club stand strong like it did during the Zidane and Ronaldo eras. As long as Real Madrid has young midfielders like Bellingham, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Modric, and Kroos, along with defensive players like Rudiger, cavaja and Alaba, I don't think anything will go wrong for the club this season.

Well, I agree with what he Says , despite the fact that Many Madridistas wanted Mbappé to be in the white team, he really did not want to , because he is a very good player, but nevertheless he is a very, very proud player, I think he could bring problems to the team and his ego does not allow him to relate to Others , I just take it out for Neymar and him , Neymar is Brazilian and Everyone likes Brazilians by Nature , because they are very happy People , good People , Apart from that, they Make a lot of trouble, if you're not well they look for a way to Help you, of course Most of the people who are Brazilian are like that, but when it comes to Mbappé everything changes, and it's because of how he is as a person, and that's Something that almost everyone knows, but that the others do not say, one because he knows how he is because of the gestures that are made on the field by the same players, also at PSG when Mbappé himself blacklisted the players that they wanted them to Leave , so it is not necessary in Madrid, one of the great hires was Bellingham.

Jude Bellingham quickly justifying 'Signing of the Summer' tag at Real Madrid

With weeks still left in the transfer window, much of the Madrid-based media have decided already who is “Buy of the Year.” In a summer in which expectations have risen, fallen and still remain in suspense around the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid, there is absolute conviction that, come what may, the greatest marketplace coup must be the club’s purchase of Jude Bellingham.

“The Signing of the Summer,” the newspaper Marca, Spain’s top-selling daily, labels the Englishman, echoing its rival AS and clarifying: “That’s not only in Spain, but worldwide.” This in the window where Lionel Messi moved and soared immediately at Inter Miami, and where Bellingham’s compatriot, Harry Kane, joined Bayern Munich and scored on his first start for the German champions.

The impact of Bellingham eclipses theirs partly because, at just-turned 20 years old, he is a decade Kane’s junior and fully 17 years younger than Messi, who has moved, by joining an MLS club, to a less competitive league environment than the European elite divisions he commanded for so long.

Well, you have to see that when a very good player arrives at a club as prestigious as Madrid, things begin to look very good, because first you notice what the player contributes, in fact, Madrid has always been characterized by having very good players in their ranks, really things when it comes to the best midfielders this team is one of the most valuable, then in their defensive line too, now they are looking for someone who can replace the great cat Benzema who is suno one of the best in the world, everyone knows it, so now the search has begun, however, there is no prospect that Madrid is really interested in so that they force them to look for him as if it were the last thing, I think that a Haaland or some player of that kind This style would fit perfectly, of course it's a matter of knowing how to look for it, for now I think that Madrid is very good as they are, with Vibnicius and Rodrygo it's enough.

European Super League: Key questions answered as fresh plans for competition announced.

Barcelona have bad finance is one factor but it is not all. They are also part of European Super League and they are founders of A22 Sports Management together with Real Madrid and Juventus. Juventus got harsh punishments in Serie A last season and they were even prohibited to join UEFA Conference League in this season.

I don't think it is a kind of coincidence why Barcelona got more looks from FFP and got more punishments from the foundation. Partially it is because of Barcelona's participation in plan of European Super League.

In the Champions League Barcelona has a big chance to advance and could reach the quarter-finals or semifinals but reaching this round is not easy because there will be other teams who will focus on the Champions League and hinder Barcelona in every match.
As was the case in La Liga before this season started many of us predicted that Barcelona would have a better start to the season than Real Madrid but in reality it was Barcelona who seemed to be struggling at the start of the season and Real Madrid save 9 points with 3 wins.

La Liga and the Champions League are two important leagues for Barcelona so they have to really focus on both especially on the Champions League because it has been a long time since we all saw Barcelona not have the opportunity to reach the final to fight for this highest.

Xavi could breathe a sigh of relief after the UCL Drawing was completed, Barcelona got an easier opponent after getting the advantage of joining Pot 1. Barcelona is the favorite team in Group H, only Porto is the toughest opponent Barcelona faces in the race to win Group.
Even though Barcelona joins a relatively easy group, Xavi must not underestimate his opponents, he must remain focused on his goal of qualifying for the round of 16. The obstacles that Barcelona are still facing this season are on the front and back lines. Lewandowski is still having trouble scoring goals and is still very easy for the opposing team to break into.

What do you think, is this formation suitable for Real Madrid?

No, but I think Real Madrid can play better with a 4-3-1-2 formation where Joselu and Rodrygo play as strikers. Even though Real Madrid don't have a number 9 as a center forward, I tend to agree that they don't play Rodrygo as an attacking midfielder. Rodrygo is good as a striker, so Ancelotti doesn't need to give Rodrygo a different role against Getafe at the weekend.

But because that is the predicted line up and formation, I think it will change based on the opponent's needs and playing style. Moreover, Ancelotti can play Bellingham as false nine or winger if he wants, but I don't think Bellingham will do that in the next match.

Yeah right that also makes sense and I don't think we've seen a duet between Joselu and Rodrygo so far. Certainly Ancelotti also emphasized these two players during training so that they can be applied during the match later. I think that regarding the composition of the players and the formation will be evaluated by Ancelotti soon and we also don't know what surprises there will be against Getafe. Jude Bellingham is more of a false nine and I don't think he will be a winger because he doesn't have the speed and acceleration that Vini or Rodrygo have. However, because Real Madrid's coach is Ancelotti, who is famous for changing player positions that shouldn't be, surely this will be something to look forward to and is ready to make people confused.

Watching the highlights of Atletico Madrid previous game, it's amazing and thrilling to watch Diego Simeone men nets 7 goals in a single game. Funny as it sounds but they did get the accolades they deserved with Antoine Griezmann grabbing MOTM, it was a shocking loss for Los Franjirrojos and sad faces displayed by their supporters at Estadio de Vallecas. Rayo Vallecano nil and Atletico Madrid 7. It's a humiliating defeats for the home team, the visitors tried in knotting every slightest opportunities they got. Los Colchoneros not relenting this season, and are probably settling their sights on La Liga trophy in the 2023/2024 campaign.

Atletico’s humiliating win against Rayo Vallecano last weekend will certainly put fear in the mind of Sevilla players for their next game against ATM. Antoine Griezmann is at superb form at the moment which will also be a problem for Sevilla to hold him down. It should be a thrilling game to watch but I have a feeling that  Atletico Madrid will win Sevilla. Though it would be disappointing if after winning the Europa league trophy, Sevilla still find it difficult winning games this season. This season will be much competitive and therefore Sevilla need to be gathering every point necessary to stay above top eight or seven.

After bringing Real Madrid to 3 consecutive wins, this time Jude Bellingham won the award as the best player in Laliga for the month of August. It seems that many people were surprised by the debut of this young English player and it didn't take long for him to find chemistry with the other Real Madrid players.

We are still waiting for his next performance to see if he will continue to surprise people with his greatness at this very young age.

I know Jude Bellingham is a good player and a good talent as well but this current level is a bit above the usual scoring 4 goals in 3 games is above the roof for Bellingham. I hope he maintains this form and stays consistent until the end of the season. Real Madrid are enjoying the money they spent on Bellingham’s acquisition. It is mind blowing how the goals keep comjng and he is not even a striker.

This season, the bluagrana have excellent quality players; the only problem they have is inconsistent and relenting energies in their game. Barcelona received a lucky star in today's UEFA Champions League draw for the 2023/2024 season. They're in group H and should have a relatively straightforward game. Xavi Hernandez will help prepare his team to face inferior clubs; possibly the blaugrana are an exceptional club that is particularly good at defeating these opponents. Group H is simply too clean and simple for Xavi's men, and they will easily defeat their opponents.

There would be no doubt luck is in side of Barcelona as they are having good favorable group which is giving them advantage for qualifying for the knockout stage and have no enough worries about anything with this all they can give their best for the La Liga which is more competitive for them in this season and their form and consistency both are not in their side in early matches but with this draw now they can do better things for the better results here and few experiments are also allowed which will help them for the improved strategy in coming weeks.

Just Porto is having some quality, but Barcelona can handle this with going into next round with topper of the group is surely amazing stuff and with this most chances they could be able to have spot into last eight as well.

The obstacles that Barcelona are still facing this season are on the front and back lines.

Looks promising with Barcelona chance qualify to next phase based on group stage is not really get difficult opponent, has opportunities for Xavi Hernandez make Barcelona qualify to next round after failure in group stage last two season in a row. Not any bigger opponent teams will make Barcelona easily managed top standings in Group H and I think Barcelona has ratio above 80% for qualifying to next round in Champion League.
Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk and Royal Antwerp is not difficult opponent teams for Barcelona and actually they have chance for winning all matches in group stage.

Give beneficial in domestic league because Barcelona can all out for getting points in La Liga, but Champion League must priority after failure last two season qualify to next round.

2 consecutive seasons they always failed and did not get a favorable group, this time everything turned around because looking at the opponent's conditions for the current group for Barcelona it is something that I think is quite easy if you look at their opponents this time.

Xavi must make good use of this situation this season because the chance to qualify for the next phase is very large in the Champions League. This is indeed quite good and with their current condition which is getting better in terms of performance and finances of course my hope is that they can do even better in the Champions League because this can spur their enthusiasm when they qualify from the group phase which distinguishes Barcelona this season in contrast to the previous 2 seasons.

 Since I started watching Barcelona team playing from season to season have never seen them starting at a very slow pace after winning the league. This season is some how with Barça, like they're not having that force of winning without problem but they have to struggle, the first game they played was horrible, played a goalless draw and it seems like they all went to defend with the red card, later won 2nil then last week was a battle for 3 point 3-4, thought they were going to lose that game, this isn't what I expected in their first 3 games of the season.
 All I see in this Barça team is they're losing that force in making teams lose their strength even the smaller teams are trying to beat Barça, I can't say Xavi is still building the team because if it they still have that idea in their head then the champions league would be hard for them to qualify from the group stage.

What you say is true, I totally agree with you. I too see the extreme effort he puts into playing and winning and I don't understand what's happening. Maybe an athletic fitness issue? The players seem really tired and tried, exhausted.

Let's see in the next games if they recover.

Barcelona are the favourite in this  group,  they have good players that can make them obtain victory in every match If really they want victory and Barcelona already has a good coach that is experienced.  I don't think Barcelona games in this group will be difficult for them, this is a group Barcelona expected to win all their games. Barcelona can do well on champions league this time around,  they just need to increase their motivation to win more.
