La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[makishart]

I think this El Clasico is not ideal considering that many players in Xavi squad are injured, and those who have just recovered are not yet fully 100% fit. On the other hand, Xavi took quite a big risk when determining the starting XI yesterday, which turned out to be true because he had to admit the greatness of the strategy implemented by Ancelotti. Dembele and Ansu Fati were released because Xavi wanted several players like Felix and Cancelo and to make room for young players like Yamal.

Regardless from this defeat, Barcelona also still has a chance to retain the La Liga trophy, the difference in points is not too big and it is still reasonable to catch up in the following weeks. On the other hand, Madrid is in top form at the moment, so it's not easy to beat them, especially with a player like Bellingham.

This is not the time for excuses; Real Madrid played excellently and deserved to win. Barcelona also put in a lot of effort in this game, but luck was not on their side, and they were unable to convert all of the chances they produced into goals; it was a sad day for them, as well as a day to make changes to most of their playing patterns. Regardless, as you've stated, Barcelona is still in a strong position to win La Liga despite losing the El Classico to Real Madrid. I'm confident that Barcelona will win the second leg of El Classico at Santiago Stadium, as it has always been a tradition in the El Classico. Ancelotti made use of a good strategy and at the same time Xavi, but Ancelotti succeeded over him in the end.

Losing in all of el classico this season would make barcelon obviously lose 6 points in total in addition if this can be more when barcelona gets also draw against its opponent. Real madrid is performing even better and this can't be argued.
bellingham as the MVP in this match is also playing so amazing. Look at how bellingham's shoot was able equalizing the goal. This guy is more than just a midfielder. Bellingham is also an ordinary striker as well with all of his performance.
I never expect modric will make unexpected assists like that. That assist was passing through barcelona's player which is amazing. Modric is still amazing despite his old age.
I do believe if age is just a number for him at this moment. It seems like that real madrid is interesting in extending his contract for one more season. Modric was not only changing the game play of madrid but he was also changing its tempo.
I can imagine if modric was still on his prime era. Real madrid is always become a disaster for another club.

Bellingham is in the form of his life,and it won't be good if anything should happen to him now,he has been so instrumental to almost everything that is happening at Madrid now,the success and the winning so far this season,and because of that,he has earned alot of praise from the media and everyone.In this kind of matches, opponents are always very angry with the player that is causing the most threat to their team,that's why they wanted to injure him so he would be withdrawn from the match,but the players isn't an injury prone one,he can play the whole of the season without getting injured.I really love this dude,and would be happy if he continues like this.

Currently, Bellingham seems to want to prove himself that the contract previously agreed when Madrid brought Bellingham at a high price and a large salary was not wrong. On the other hand, it seems that Bellingham's choice to Madrid is also very appropriate now even though we know that his performance in Dortmund is very good but in Madrid at this time the conditions are much better than when he was in Dortmund.
This is his first season, hopefully with the many praises that happened to him did not make him become arrogant and lose concentration in his performance because after all the proof must still be done and the season is still very long so Bellingham must be able to maintain this performance until he can carve a new history for Madrid.

Real Madrid were looking for a suitable replacement for Luka Modric in their squad. And that's why Real Madrid added Bellingham to the squad at such a high price. And Bellingham proved that the decision of the Madrid management was not wrong. Bellingham has become the most important player in Madrid's squad this season. In every match, we see the great performance of Bellingham. He is playing well. He is able to score a lot of goals. Bellingham is now the top scorer in the La Liga. He is able to score a lot despite not being a striker. Now if Madrid management can add experienced strikers to the squad then their squad will be stronger.

[borovichok]

It's incredible, I didn't expect Madrid to Win. But looking at the bench I think this is also the result of Lewandowski not playing fully. Barcelona's first half did succeed in making Real Madrid difficult, even without a shot leading to the goal. But the second half Madrid could come out and make a goal. Again Belingham became an outstanding actor. The first goal showed Belingham so calm and intelligent. The goal made was not hard but only the placement of the ball. I also saw him talking to Gavi and poking himself in the head with his finger. Maybe Belingham told Gavi to play smart.

With the current spectacular form of Real Madrid, they leds with the massive credits to win El Clasico against Barcelona in the first leg. It was crystal clear about the poor performance of the Blaugrana, with the absence of vital players on the pitch during the game, Xavi Hernandez couldn't risk them starting early in the first half, rather he puts his crucial players in the second halve, their presence didn't pull any threat. It was so amazing watch Jude Bellingham who singlehandedly blasts a stunning shot which the goalkeeper couldn't save, the second goal proves everything to everyone, Jude Bellingham is in his prime and there's barrier that would stop him.

[Volgastallion]

Jude Bellingham  is a very serious thing man, i dont remember so complete player and so young, is like a combination of all the midfiliers of the world in one person and with only a few years in top division is totally nuts.

Also he have a very high mental strenght.

I don't know if it caught your attention, but Atletico Madrid is playing more offensive football this year. In the past years, they would score a goal and then try to keep the score and play defensively focused football. We are watching a completely different Atletico Madrid this season. Their matches are over 2.5 goals. Especially Griezman and Morata bear the burden of scoring goals and they are in good form at the moment. Morata scored again in the match played yesterday. If I place a bet from now on, I will also bet on Atletico Madrid matches. I don't know if they will win their matches, but I will play for over 2.5 goals and pass.

I don't think it's anything new when a team has won quickly at half-time, then they are free to apply the next strategy to keep playing attacking or choose to defend at least to maintain stamina. So ya, I personally don't care about the strategy applied like that because anyway, basically the priority for them is to succeed in getting three points, and not prioritize continuing to attack or defend . But indeed, if I consider the opponent Atletico faced in the match was Alaves, then of course we would also expect a victory with a better score. But at least I quite satisfied, because I only bet on Atletico winning, and for me it's still good too.

Atletico Madrid has been playing pretty attacking football currently. And I have to say it has been working for them. They are performing far better compared to what they generally do at the start of the season. If I am not wrong, I do not think they are actually at the top of the table when the season starts. But this season they have been doing well.  And if you look at the performance from them, they do not have a single loss in the last five matches. That is, I have to say great performance from them. It seems like they might be actually performing consistently enough in this season, throughout the season. But I still think that the final fight is going to be between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Also he have a very high mental strenght.

I hope that what Jude Bellingham showed in his first season at Madrid can be maintained as much as possible. Because this is the initial phase at a young age, there are several concerns that arise if in the end he fails to be consistent. Gradually Kross and Modric as well as several senior Madrid players such as Carvajal and Rudiger will definitely leave and this requires Jude Bellingham to be more independent in building attacks. Vinicius and Rodrigo dropped off a bit after Benzema wasn't there. In fact, the statistics for both players appear to have decreased quite significantly, especially for Vinicius because of his responsibilities on the front lines. So indirectly I think Madrid will extend the transition process. The young players who will fill the void cannot guarantee stability in the long term.

Bellingham is a combination between the greatest midfielder combined with striker at the same time. He was still very young. He was still 20 years old, and that's amazing to see this kind of performance from a young players like him.
People are also feeling so damn surprised about how bellingham can become one of most important player in real madrid now. I never ever predict it to happen with him.
I was expect him  need more time to adapt to the club but i was wrong about that.

Also he have a very high mental strenght.

His mentality is as good as the top player this time. Ancellotti has been also helping him so much in finding his true performance. Im feeling so good with his performance. Missing bellingham in a game is very stressful to the club.

Currently, Jude Bellingham is one of the players who has improved Real Madrid's performance and in fact he is often the savior for Real Madrid to win with the goals he created, so if the Real Madrid squad becomes more capable, especially on the front lines, there is a big opportunity for Jude Bellingham to be even better. develop.
What Jude Bellingham did in his first season was quite impressive, but all of this cannot be separated from the individual skills he has to help the team, so I have no doubt that Jude Bellingham can consistently maintain his performance and I even think that he can develop even more.

Real Madrid totally depends on Jude Bellingham to find goals and wins so far in this season. I can not imagine a departure of Karim Benzema affected their attacking system like this. Joselu did not meet Real Madrid request and both Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo had very poorer performances than what they usually did in previous seasons.

Those players have different problems: Vinicius Jr. with injuries, Rodrygo with his form, Joselu with pressure by playing a first season for a biggest club in his career. But they have to improve because Real Madrid need their contributions to win matches in future. A club can not depend on Jude Bellingham in a long season.

Bellingham is just trying to make sure he will not get injury. bellingham wants give his first trophy with real madrid as a gift for ancellotti before he will be leaving from the club. That's why jude has been warned gavi for doing serious tackle toward him.
Jude is not willing to lose his golden momentum with it. This is the time for jude bellingham to show if the money paid to get him really worthy with his performance. Even though he was still young but he is still good at his age.,

He is also performing excellently compared with other young players in the different club. Bellingham is also top scorer this season. Vini is still performing quite well even though he is less productive compared with last season but bellingham made the squad become perfect squad.
I wonder who will become the new striker of real madrid.

I have heard that if mbappe has been linked again to the real madrid. This will become a dream team if ancellotti will able to recruit mbappe next year.
Im really hyped to see mbappe vini and bellingham play together.

I don't expect anything bad to happen to this player, but as a player, there are always risks, like injuries and so on. That's what Carlo Ancelotti must anticipate.

Jude Bellingham is meant to absorb the departure of Benzema until Real Madrid find a real substitute for the latter player. It was supposed to be Mbappe but PSG miscalculation affected them, Mbappe and Real Madrid all at the time. Real Madrid was affected since they struggle to score whenever Bellingham didn't. Mbappe affected since he is playing against his will in PSG which is way weaker than what used to be. PSG is affected too since they totally depends on Mbappe for victories.
Vinicius problems aren't only injuries but the player is psychologically instable with the racist speech targeting him from his opponents fans and staff but also some media. For Joselu, he still require time to improve more.

It's only natural that Real Madrid relies on Jude Bellingham because Real Madrid dared to invest heavily in Jude Bellingham and were able to buy Bellingham very expensively and Bellingham has proven that he has above average abilities even though he is still 20 years old, even so Real Madrid still need other player to work together to achieve Real Madrid success in the future, Vinicius Jr experienced a decline after recovering from injury but we all hope Vinicius Jr can return to his best performanced, talking about Juselu I don't think Juselu is bad, he has tried his best this season and have contributed 5 goals and 2 assist. I think the collaboration between the three players is still good at this moment and it is proven that Real Madrid is still in first place with 1 defeat.

But Jude Bellingham has done well so far. Even Jude Bellingham was considered to have exceeded everyone's expectations. Because no one would have thought that Jude Bellingham would turn out to be very sharp in Real Madrid's attack line. And his duel with Vinicius Jr is also considered to be getting better over time. For Joselu, this player may not be as good as Jude Bellingham in adapting speed. But so far I think Real Madrid is quite satisfied with the performance shown by Joselu. He has scored around 5 goals and 2 assists from the 11 matches he has played with Real Madrid. And I think he will get better at the club. And to be honest, I am quite grateful that Real Madrid brought in Jude Bellingham. Because he really is a figure who can replace Benzema at the club. Even though he is not in the same position as Benzema, his presence has brought Real Madrid to better results. And I almost forgot to congratulate Jude Bellingham on the award he received, namely the Kopa trophy 2023.

I'm confident that Barcelona will win the second leg of El Classico at Santiago Stadium, as it has always been a tradition in the El Classico. Ancelotti made use of a good strategy and at the same time Xavi, but Ancelotti succeeded over him in the end.

Yes, even though Real Madrid is a strong team this season, they must find a front stick player to replace the role of Bellingham and Vinicius. Because it is impossible for Real Madrid to only continue to rely on them in every game, like yesterday against Barcelona, with Bellingham reportedly limping because against Braga, and when going against Barcelona this was going to make Bellingham not play. But the Real Madrid manager made sure Bellingham would play. This is one of the problems, Real Madrid must immediately find a good front line backup player.

Regarding Barcelona against Real Madrid yesterday with a fierce match. although they failed to win the big match, but in my opinion this is not the end of Barcelona, because they are a strong team that has not been defeated only against Real Madrid, in previous matches they always won in every match. Naturally they lost against Real Madrid because they are also a strong team this season because of the young player Bellingham who always scores goals and is the top scorer this season.

[rendravolt]

As has been widely reported by the media, Jude Bellingham has won the Kopa trophy as the best U21 player after beating Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich. This was his first individual achievement as a Real Madrid player and he also said there would be more to come. As a young asset for Real Madrid, he really deserves it after so far proving his role is so important in every match and even being a key player in big matches.

Jude Bellingham will continue to contribute to Real Madrid and he could get the La Liga golden boot this season if he continues to consistently score goals. He is a versatile midfielder and his role is unpredictable, including being a goal-scoring machine. After winning the Kopa trophy, next December this year he will also receive the Golden Boy award and that is very exciting news for all Real Madrid fans.

But they have to improve because Real Madrid need their contributions to win matches in future. A club can not depend on Jude Bellingham in a long season.

I see it differently:

The team's morale is high, because the team has a real talent - Bellingham, who is able to decide the outcome of the match and bring victory, this always adds strength to the team.

Junior almost never sits on the bench, this injury was an isolated incident, and Joselu just creates this competition, which makes everyone play even better. I admit, I have never felt any sympathy for Ancelotti as a coach before, but what he is doing now in Real Madrid is a great art.

It is almost impossible to compete with such a Real Madrid, so I expect them to win La Liga and reach the Champions League final.

[Strongkored]

On the one hand, the presence of Jude Bellingham has helped Real Madrid to continue to achieve positive results, but on the other hand, if the dependence on him continues, it is not good for the whole. We may remember the time they drew, and there was no Jude Bellingham on the scoresheet. It kind of illustrates how they play without Jude Bellingham.
I don't expect anything bad to happen to this player, but as a player, there are always risks, like injuries and so on. That's what Carlo Ancelotti must anticipate.

Teams will always have a tendency to depend on several players, such as Manchester City where they rely heavily on Kevin De Bruyne and the second-tier players are usually not as good as these players. That's why when these players are absent there are many obstacles the team will face, and the coach must have a strategy to be able to overcome this.
Real Madrid is very dependent on Jude Bellingham, it is very understandable seeing how his efforts for the team from the beginning of his presence in this team, he managed to become a player who contributed to every Real Madrid match, and because he is still very young, Real Madrid will depend on him for quite a long time, and as stated I have said that Real Madrid only needs to have a coach who can manage his team well when main players like Bellingham are not playing.

I don't know why Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are finding it difficult to score more goals than before but at the same time, I would not say Madrid is solely depending on Bellingham per say. I will say, other players inability to make more goals and Bellingham's ability to overshadow them has made him a champion in the club.

Else, we would not say Bellingham is spectacular actually, since he doesn't have same speed as Vinicius Jr but one aspect you cannot take from him is his ability to score goal when he had the opportunity to do so. I also feel that Madrid needs to play few matches with out Bellingham to see how the first XI will perform without Bellingham.
