La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Luzin]

Real Madrid look better now, they proved it on the field. We can say that in some moments they were lucky, at first they were lucky that Barcelona were not able to finish attacks well, and they created many good chances.

One mistake by Real Madrid and made Barcelona able to score. And besides that Madrid played well. I was quite hesitant at the beginning, but this result was so amazing I was even surprised. If you look at Barcelona, they have young players who play a lot, but it seems that Real Madrid's experience is better. Bellingham is very calm, he is good at reading situations. Barcelona's fatal mistake was not to kill Bellingham's movements. As for Madrid, Kepa's performances are also quite good, I think the permanent contract option is a good option.

Barcelona actually didn't play too badly, it's just that they couldn't maintain their composure until the end of the match and they were unlucky because they didn't have a good finishing touch in this match. I think Barcelona played more dominantly in the first half, but this condition changed when Real Madrid played more aggressively in the second half (especially after Camavinga entered the field) and this disrupted Barcelona's rhythm. It was clear that when the match entered the final minutes, Barcelona seemed to lose their concentration, and their defense line often made mistakes.

There is nothing wrong with the game shown from Barcelona and Madrid because after all they are balanced and both do not want to defeat eachh other, it's just that in this match Madrid can get points but Barcelona also played very well in this match.
Jude is a player to watch out for from the start and indeed given the circumstances of the game Jude is not only a player  who can organize the attack but his ability is completely different in Madrid.
Jude's performance this season remind me of Inzaghi in that the ball seem to come to Jude for him to convert into a goal. Saying he's an above  average player is true but in term of pace and accuracy of passing there are still some Madrid players who are better but when he's with much greater luck the ball always comes to Jude even when he kicks slowly he can turn  it into a goal. This match we also saw that Jude's rocket from outside the box was absolutely stunning.

Both teams could have won the match. Kepa performed well in the match and Barcelona could not double the difference. Later, with the changes made by Real Madrid, the game was balanced and Real Madrid won the match with its experience.

Bellingham proved that he is a player suitable for Real Madrid and that he will carry his jersey for years to come. He performs better every match. Barcelona did not play badly in the match, but they could not take advantage of the opportunities they had. When you fail to score against your opponent in El Clasico, you can see the goal in your own goal. I liked the game of both teams, but I can say that Real Madrid won the match with its experience.

Today Atletico Madrid have a big chance to leave Barcelona behind in the standings. They can even do this despite having one less number of games played in the league so far. The opponent is Alaves tonight and on paper this is a quite nice opportunity for Atletico Madrid to maintain the winning streak in the La Liga. Alaves are out-of-form these days.

However I'm not sure about their winning by a quite big score like 4-0 or so. Atletico Madrid can be quite unpredictable with this but I'm at least confident about them to win one way or another while going on a solid form. It would be good to make up for the Celtic draw as well.

It was clear that when the match entered the final minutes, Barcelona seemed to lose their concentration, and their defense line often made mistakes.

El Clasico ended with a painful result for Barcelona, how could it not hurt to lose in the final seconds even though statistically Barcelona was ahead in the first half. The entry of Modric and Camavinga brought significant changes to Madrid's attack line. Honestly, in the first half I was quite bored because Madrid didn't perform well. Difficult to penetrate defenses. In that match, the Barcelona players' mentality was clearly down, especially as Bellingham managed to equalize with a kick outside the penalty box. This shot was quite fantastic and deserved to be a goal.

Madrid is lucky to have Bellingham because even though he plays as a midfielder, on the field he appears as a pure striker who can move without the opponent realizing it. Actually, from the first half until the 70th minute, Bellingham movements were not very prominent on the field. The creation of the second goal amazed me because Bellingham has sharp instincts and is able to put himself in the right position without being closely guarded.

[rendravolt]

Barcelona finally have a new owner and he is Jude Bellingham who managed to silence them with an incredible brace. It wouldn't be Real Madrid if they didn't make a comeback victory and indeed Jude Bellingham was once again a hero for Real Madrid in last night's El Clasico match. Although initially Real Madrid fell behind after Tchouameni failed to control the ball and then Alaba tried to throw the ball away with a tackle, but there was already Gundogan who was ready to welcome the wild ball until finally a quick goal was scored in the 6th minute. After that both teams looked confused and Real repeatedly Madrid was under pressure, fortunately Barcelona's attack was not too dangerous.

It was in the second half that the beginning of all the impossible happened and there Jude Bellingham changed into Cristiano Ronaldo mode and scored a goal from outside the penalty box and of course no one believed he could do that. The score was still tied before finally entering injury time and at that moment Dani Carvajal intended to give Luka Modric a pass, but he failed to control it so the ball went over the Barcelona defender and who knows when Bellingham was there to welcome the wild ball. Well, I was again shown a quality spectacle from Real Madrid and they deserved this victory.

[Polkeins]

Bellingham took to the stage in this El Clasico as well and did a wonderful job by scoring 2 goals. That first goal came thanks to an amazing shot from a long distance. He can just score from everywhere.    And after that he did his own thing once again by scoring a late goal to bring 3 points to his team.

I have noticed something about Vinicius Junior as well. Since Bellingham joined the team and started to play extra we haven't seen Vinicius being able to play as effective as him. I mean in the La Liga otherwise Vinicius is doing pretty well in the Champions League.

Bellingham has already scored 13 goals in 13 games(!) and he's also made 3 assists, so that's 16 points in 13 games. I guess after Messi this is the first candidate for the golden ball, the main thing is not to get injured. I agree with the fact that now after the arrival of Bellingham Vinicius went into the shadows, and in fact Bellingham is not a striker, unlike Vinicius and should score less, but it turns out the opposite and now the main force in the attack of Real Madrid is Bellingham, which is supported by Modric and Kroos escalating the attacks of Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid has 22 points in 9 matches making it able to not only pass Barcelona if they win a missing game but even get the draw with Real Madrid and Girona once he achieve victory in the lacking 2 matches.
Their game today is vs Alaves as you said, weaker team which barely could score or win. They received a lot of goals too. Atletico Madrid should not miss points in this game. I don't think they could score many goals unless red cards in the other side or they aren't ready at all but two goals difference should be achievable in my opinion.

Please tell me that I am living in reality, not in a dream!

This stats is for beast players like Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Haaland, Ibrahimovic, Lewandowsky or Kane. They are strikers or forwards, not simply an attacking player like Jude Bellingham. The English midfielder, he was actually a midfielder, but in this season, he is allowed to run into the box more and he scores more goals. Actually in Dortmund last season, he shown some positive signals that he can do this but Carlo Ancelotti actually lit up the career of Jude in this season by using him this way.

Ballon d'Or, I think it is too early to say this. Because the season is still long and Jude must maintain his performance as well as win titles with Real Madrid or his national team, England. Without bit titles, no Ballon d'Or.

The echoes of Madridstas praising and chanting victory songs against the Bluagrana rocked Camp Nou. An astounding comeback prevailing for them; they are not slacking and are giving everything they've got in matches. Do you know who is the driving force behind Los Blancos' success? Of course, he is none other than Bellingham. Jude Bellingham is the current reigning Real Madrid and La Liga starlet. The Englishman keeps impressing everyone with his outstanding abilities and stats in matches; I hope he maintains this brilliant consistent form because he will be honored when the time approaches.

Vinícius Jr's form got affected by the injury, but I do hope he gets back to his best. I also sort of don't like his attitude on pitch. He should answer his critics by focusing on playing ball rather than coming up with antics against refs, opposing players and even opposition coaches. Some percentage of football is also a mind game.

Jude Bellingham took the limelight once yesterdays, but the bringing on of Modric and Camavinga turned the tide of the game. Real Madrid started to control the game and Jude Bellingham who would go dip to fetch the balance eventually had the chances to make runs in front.
Jude Bellingham's positioning in front of the oppositions goal is impeccable. It reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo.

13 goals in 13 games with 3 assist, Yeah? He is worth every penny placed on him by Real Madrid. He is such a big asset. I say he gets Injured and there'll be a big of scare in the squad.
The brace from Jude Bellingham was enough to put an end to the reigning Champions home record this season.
Not just Jude Bellingham was key figure to see the match won by Real Madrid, Carlo Ancellotti is a good tactician and with the introduction of Luka Modric and Camavinga we saw changes In the game.

No offense, but Barcelona, I believe could have done better of those out Injured had early fitness. They did score that goal early and should have doubled it. The absence of these players forced them to make use of yougins, they do so bad, though I expected a draw.

I also saw that in the second half there was a significant change in the Real Madrid team's game after Luka Modric and Camavinga came on, and overall I dare say that the performance of these two teams was quite disappointing, I watched this match very disappointed, I thought El Clasico would present a fierce match but I was wrong.

Worth it or not but Real Madrid is the team that won and got 3 points in this match, and again and again Jude Bellingham is the hero of Real Madrid's victory, I really don't understand how Jude Bellingham does everything to score 2 goals, he only has 2 opportunities in this match and both of them were converted into goals, isn't that extraordinary, now I say that Jude Bellingham is a magical player.
And one more thing to remember, Jude Bellingham is still 20 years old, I can't imagine what it will be like when he develops with Real Madrid, this is truly an extraordinary player, all the Madridistas love Jude Bellingham.

Barcelona handed the game to Real Madrid. They of all people should know that when you're playing Real Madrid, you have to bury your chances. They had a chance to score at least 3 goals in the first half but they couldn't make use of it.
I don't think the young talent they used was the problem because they actually played really well in the first half. They outplayed Madrid. The problem was them not burying their chances.

How do you want the match to be? That was a very tense and end-to-end game. Barcelona was better in the first half while Madrid was better in the second.
Modric and Camavinga changed the game, unfortunately for Barcelona, they had no one to bring in to change the game due to injuries.
It's still a very long season and it's still very well open for any team to win the league. Remember, the goal is to win the league and not just the classico. Madrid won't want to lose the league to Barcelona for two matches in a row.
The first classico of last season Madrid won 3-1 but guess who won the league?

[rendravolt]

Cadiz and Sevilla only share 1 point after the two only drew 2-2. I think Sevilla missed the opportunity here to steal 3 points at home to Cadiz and they even looked really struggling and had to fall behind with two goals scored by Cadiz players. Even though in the end Sevilla was able to catch up with 1 goal in the first half, it was still less than their desired target. In fact, Sevilla really dominated this match even until the second half, but Sevilla only managed to score 1 additional goal and failed to make a comeback. This result makes Cadiz and Sevilla both collect 10 and close to each other on the standings.

That's true, but in this match Kross was not able to provide maximum results. It was seen in the first half that Kross continued to press the front line but was unable to penetrate the defense. Then Modric entered as an attack presser, Joselu was able to divert the defender's attention and Camavinga was very suitable for breaking up Barcelona's formation so that Bellingham would not be noticed, freely moving anywhere and at the right time to receive the ball. In my opinion, 13 goals from 13 matches brings a breath of fresh air for Real Madrid, having young players with quite fantastic goal productivity. 2 positions at once as a midfielder but can also move as a shadow striker.

Many say Jude Bellingham is always accompanied by luck and magic when he is on the field. Maybe we still remember Filippo Inzaghi role when he was young and always in an open position to score goals.

No offense, but Barcelona, I believe could have done better of those out Injured had early fitness. They did score that goal early and should have doubled it. The absence of these players forced them to make use of yougins, they do so bad, though I expected a draw.

Unfortunately luck was on Madrid's side, yesterday's result should have been a draw, but Bellingham gave a surprise in the last minute, causing Barcelona to lose points and suffer defeat. I think Barcelona played as well as possible with the existing players, including young players, and it is possible that if they played with their full players, maybe they would yesterday's El Clasico match was much different, but still all Barcelona fans must acknowledge Madrid's superiority and their victory.

I also think that Xavi should be able to manage his players in the future so that too many key players don't get injured which is detrimental to Barcelona of course, at least playing second tier players to face lower level clubs so that they don't play too seriously which ultimately results in injuries to key players which would be very detrimental. Xavi must manage every performance of his players and I am sure he still has time to catch up to win the La Liga title this season.

Bellingham coming to Real Madrid brought big changes, of course he will be a candidate for the best player next year if he continues to play consistently. Sometimes I see Bellingham's positioning as similar to Inzhagi.

He is always in an open position because he plays a False 9, Real Madrid's main 4-4-2 diamond formation. But when Vini and Rodrygo went wide, Bellingham entered as the No. 9 player in the middle which actually confused the opposing defenders by focusing on Vini and Rodrygo.

Bellingham is really cool, able to play a dynamic role as no. 10 when building attacks, no. 6 when defending, and number 9 when Vini and Rodrygo's positions start to widen.

Yes, it is unfortunate that with the many chances they can create only 1 can be lodged into a goal. I think they were unlucky in this match, because with the opportunities they created, they should be able to score more than 2 goals, but that didn't happen.
Cadiz did not want to be humiliated in front of their own suporters, and this result is indeed a good result for them. On the other hand, they also actually played well, despite being under pressure by Sevilla, but they were still able to steal a goal, and even they could take the lead first.

I've always known they would successfully defend the La Liga very well. I do not count them out at all not even in the slightest way, they have all it takes to win the league once again.
Modric might be aged now but he's got experience no youngin in Real Madrid has, they should learn watch and learn from Luka Modric during big games.

That goal from Sergio Ramos should have stand. How was that a foul, the impact was just too soft to be awarded I wasn't happy with the official. Though Sevila messed up losing possession twice which lead to the two goals Cadiz scored during the first half.
Ivan Rakitic goal was incredible, it should be voted goal of the week. Ocampus and Rakitic efforts weren't enough to get them three points.
