La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Breaking News!

Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to a contract extension as Real Madrid coach until 2026 and with this, Carlo Ancelotti's future fate is clear and he will remain at Santiago Bernabeu for the next 2 seasons. It seems that Real Madrid fans have to be more patient if they want Xabi Alonso as the new coach and they have to accept that Carlo Ancelotti will continue with Real Madrid for quite a long time. Florentino Perez still believes in Carlo Ancelotti's performance as a coach and therefore he gave him this contract so that he can continue to manage the squad of young players at Real Madrid.

Huh it's quite surprising because we're always abuzz with situations like Ancellotti who is already leaving at the end of this season to coach the Brazilian national team. Still, this news is quite surprising for me.
This is a good thing as well as a situation that could be bad in my opinion because after all there are positives and negatives that occur in this case where the positive side is that Ancelotti has been able to carry out his long-term project about the young players who are currently at Madrid but on the other hand sometimes i also don't really like Ancelotti's leadership which is sometimes too monotonous and doesn't care about the shortcomings that occur at the club. Now we will see what he will do especially after extending the contract with his defense which is currently in trouble due to injuries whether he will try to continue to force or look for new player options to replace some players who are still unable to compete due to fitness problems.

Ah, it seems like this rumor is really outside the box that said previously, that this season will be Ancelotti's last season at the Santiago Bernabeu. but, it seems there has been a change of plans. I also brought a report from Romano, that Don Carlo has signed a new contract at Real Madrid which is valid until 2026.
regarding what you said, I have another point of view. if Ancelotti actually uses a flexible pattern, I mean there are three players on the front line with a 4-3-2-1 pattern. Rodrygo, Viji Jr and Bellingham. anyway, before Vini was injured. if the Brazilian duo is having difficulty, then the pattern up front changes. which means, Bellingam becomes a center forward. we can even refer to several matches, played by Real Madrid. and so far, these tactics and strategies are quite effective. that's why Bellingham is more fertile in terms of scoring goals. played in 16 matches, scoring 13 goals.

Well, now we return to the discussion regarding Ancelotti, as Romano reported in his tweet. so, Ancelotti will stay with Real Madrid. honestly, I can't confirm the validity of this news. however, if a journalist like Romano were to report it, we can be sure it would be close to the truth. I don't know what actually happened, but what is certain is that previously the Real Madrid coach was linked with coaching the Brazilian national team. however, it seems that he is more interested in managing a club rather than the national team level. it could also be that Don Carlo has another vision and mission.

Of course this is good news for all Real Madrid fans around the world. Ancelotti is one of the successful coaches for Real Madrid who was able to bring titles and good performances from his team in various competitions, so if he stays then of course it will be encouraging news for fans.

If this news is true, then Real Madrid and its supporters should be grateful because Real Madrid will not be looking for a new coach at the end of this season. But who knows, this is just a rumor even though it was reported by Romano, who is known as a credible journalist regarding his reporting. This is also good for Alonso, who is predicted to be worthy of being Real Madrid's coach in the future. I mean, Alonso will have enough time to build his career in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen.

For some time Ancelotti has always been linked with Brazil and in the end these rumors were officially dismissed with the current announcement. The Brazilian people are certainly quite disappointed to hear this news because Ancelotti is the coach who is expected to bring back the glory of football from the land of the samba dance.

Real Madrid is 100% focusing on Mbappe and this has nothing to do with how they cummincate the case in public. There is no reason for them to inform the public every few weeks whether they are still interested in signing Mbappe. Frankly, what is the chance that Real Madrid would not be after the best player in the world anymore? He is definitely one of Real Madrid's target, but they know that it is probably the most complicated transfer of them all.

Real Madrid need an experienced scorer now. The team is not getting the expected performance from Rodrygo Vinicius Junior. Real Madrid management have been rumored for the past few seasons to be interested in adding Mbappe to the squad. But Mbappe has renewed his contract with PSG each time. This season's scenario is slightly different. Mbappe also wants to leave PSG. He will definitely want to go to a big team and win the Champions League. Real Madrid could be the best option for Mbappe. However, Premier League sides Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in adding Mbappe to the squad.

I do disagree here because you could always say that a team needs a striker like Mbappe as there is no team in the world which does not "need" Mbappe. If you just say that they need an experienced striker now, it seems that the numbers contradict your analysis.

Real Madrid has the second best offense in La Liga and the third best offense in the Champions League with 16 goals scored, 2 goals behind Manchester City and 1 goal behind Atletico Madrid. It is not as if they were in a bad condition with their offense and need to change that urgently, but if they can get Mbappe, it would be the best that can happen to them as he is one of the few players who would add quality to the team.

This talk is already going around for sometime with Barcelona biggest threat is finances because now their debit is over $1.5 Billion and corrupt management ruin this one of the legendary clubs in UEFA which is on verge of collapse with if they have one way but mostly are not looking for this with having any Arab billionaire can solve their problems but most chances they will be not gone with this way because fans will never be happy so just because of this trying with alternative ways which are not working creating more problems.

Their squad is currently on decline in performance with they need few new fresh players which can increase performance level and quality, but this is not easy because this also needs huge amount which is not coming so right now, we have to wait and watch for all positive things.

Oh Barcelona, how are thy mighty fallen. What went wrong in terms of finances? This team that’s one of Europe’s finest now needs Arab investors to save its face. But how will investment come when the team isn’t doing so well. Yea, they’ll need some additions to get this team back on track so as to attract foreign investment, well hopefully teyll come up with solutions on how to attract those investors.

 But how possible is that when the team might get to the point of begging her players for paycut, this is pretty bad a state for one of Europe’s finest. I think the board should sit and look for possible and quick way out of this mess,  else sooner or later, negative news about their incompetency of handling the club would begin to flood over the media, Barcelona is a great team, one of the best that makes European football very Interesting and I truly hope they get back on track.

On the other hand, with this news, Real Madrid players definitely have to be more patient because we know that Carlo Ancelotti's coaching style is quite eccentric and often results in players being placed in inappropriate positions. But that is one of his strengths as an experienced trainer and there is no doubt about his success. Carlo Ancelotti still has the responsibility to deliver the La Liga or Champions League title this season and it would be an extraordinary thing if he succeeded in presenting it to Los Blancos.

I suspect Brazilian Fans won't like this news.
They said Ancelotti had given his promise to the Brazilian FA. I think those words mean nothing today after reading the latest news regarding Carlo Ancelotti's future as he has signed a new contract with Real Madrid. Maybe for Brazilian fans seeing this news is not an honorable act.

However, for me, this decision is very good for Real Madrid this season considering that they have the ambition to win La Liga and the UCl League with the best squad at the moment, even though they only lack a striker. Additionally, Real Madrid needs a tactical manager to not only play good football, but also so they can win. Ancelotti is a good leader and a good tactical manager.

I guess Ancellotti leaving Real Madrid was just rumour, now He will be in Real Madrid till 2026. I guess Real Madrid really can now wait for Xabi Alonso. Brazil definitely will be disappointed about the whole drama but I guess they will look for other options.

I don't think any coach will be able to perform this fine as Ancellotti have been doing especially this season with the injury crisis, He is definitely the coach every team would love to have at the moment.

Talking about Carlo Ancelotti's future in the Real Madrid, ground, I was of the opinion that the Italian manager would leave the Spanish giants and join the Brazilian national team but was very surprised to see a news of contract extension till the summer of 2026 with the club this morning which I think is very good news for the club and for the manager as well. Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez is one man that's so passionate about his job as the club's president and is ever ready to do anything that can help the club succeed.

When the news of Carlo Ancelotti's departure from Real Madrid did hit the media, I was of the opinion that Real Madrid will definitely turn to Xabi Alonso when Ancelotti eventually leaves the club but now that the Italian manager isn't gonna leave Madrid anytime soon, I think Xabi Alonso would want to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for a little longer.

I also did not expect that Ancelotti would extend his tenure at the Santiago Bernebeu until 2026. for Madrid fans, of course the news of Don Carlo contract extension was welcomed with pleasure, but for Brazilian fans, as you said they will definitely be very disappointed with the latest news at this time. Perzez managed Madrid very well, and employed great people around him, and the transition process within the club was well managed.

Maybe some of the Brazilian players in Madrid main squad will also be disappointed regarding Ancelotti decision, They definitely hope that Ancelotti can coach the Brazilian national team at the end of the season. not without reason, because after all they have seen and felt what Ancelotti's prospects are when leading a team, one step closer to success.

Personally I'm surprised at this news because I never expected or anticipated any of such, the rumors earlier about ancelotti leaving Real Madrid was viral and believing was not difficult because even Madrid was also trying to make moves to getting Leverkusens Xabi Alonso to take over ancelotti position after he must have left.

Even the Brazilian side too were enough of rumors making the rounds about how they were almost very much certain about ancellotis moves to their national team, there have been so much expectations already from the Brazilian side as it was already looking very much like they were going to have their national team salvaged by the coming of ancelotti to take over the leadership position, I think probably because Real Madrid didn't find possibility around getting Xabi Alonso they had to make an offer to ancelotti which led too the extension of his contract.

Real Madrid could be the best option for Mbappe. However, Premier League sides Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in adding Mbappe to the squad.

But hey it looks like you're just focusing too much on Mbappe in this case which is clear in recent seasons Madrid don't want to deal with Mbappe rumours although this might also be a Madrid tactic as if they don't want to care but approach separately.
The current situation is that we cannot compare Vini or Rodrygo with Mbappe, it's just that when talking about Madrid's productivity now even without a striker they are still very good because there are Jude, Joselu and Brahim who are 3 of their new recruits (although Joselu and Brahim are not new names for Madrid) who can contribute very well until now.
Indeed, in one condition, Madrid would be better if there was a striker who had strong instincts in scoring goals but if in the end there is no such striker even as long as some players still have the same performance as now then it is not a problem in my opinion.

It seems the news is valid, it was published by Fabrizio Romano.  
Since it is official already, it means Ancelotti stays in Real Madrid and won't move to Brazil. I'm actually a bit surprised to know Ancelotti's decision but it is surely not a bad decision. Real Madrid management may think Ancelotti is still the best option for Real Madrid coach, so they try all out to ensure he will stay a bit longer. The current progress of Real Madrid future players are also under Ancelotti's plan, so he still has a role to keep it in the right way. Also, Real Madrid still can perform impressively and quite stable with Ancelotti. Although many star players moved, Ancelotti could keep the balance of Real Madrid squad very well.

Well, Real Madrid will remain in the same play style in the next 2 seasons. And Real Madrid fans must forget to have Xabi Alonso as the coach. But for Leverkusen fans, they must thank to Ancelotti, they won't lose Xabi as Leverkusen coach. Xabi must stay in Leverkusen in the next few season to prove that he deserves to be the candidate of Real Madrid next coach.

Every club do deserve a well behave and hardworking coach and not some random sentimental person that doesn't have a clue regarding his duty. Having such an experience and a genius to become the manager to handle the affairs of the games in Santiago Bernabéu is great privileged. Real Madrid is a top club and they have eyes for the best talents when it comes to players and they also have the best coach. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez knows what he wants and he strives harder to achieve his goals with every squad possibly form each season.

Yes, and I was one of them fans who also said and pictured him managing Brazilian National Team finally at the end of the season. Was that not too much and extreme? Man I even did a couple of things way back. Lol!!
Having him available to work on the field is now great. The newly signed players are incoming will have that time to inculcate new things in em.

Ancellotti already be doing well he has won how many times Champions League Competition with Real Madrid and he's want tod see them.
What's the hope of Barcelona? The new coach?

This contract extension was a surprise to me as I remember some of the interviews that Ancelotti gave and I was always of the impression that he perhaps would like to continue for another season, but this is a serious long term extension for him. If you see someone talking about their career and how they are about to cross the finish line, you would not expect them to sign a contract that runs until summer 2026. But this was also a clear statement against the Brazilian national team. That was something I thought Ancelotti could be interested in. But he isn't blind. He knows that Brazil isn't very good at the moment and he has the chance to coach a strong Real Madrid that maybe signs Mbappe very soon.

Carlo Ancelotti has agreed to a contract extension as Real Madrid coach until 2026 and with this, ~~

Hmm, really, I don't know about that CarAncellotti signing on a contract extension with Real Madrid. Today I have a little bit of work, and there was no chance to check out news, updates, etc. When I opened the phone, I saw in the above notification that Carlos Ancellotti had extended his contract with Real Madrid. So I was very happy that Carlos Ancellotti's connection with Real Madrid is really better for the club because Carlo Ancelotti has spent 5 seasons with Real Madrid, and in those 5 seasons he did a lot, i.e., he won 10 titles, 2 UEFA Champions League, 2 Club World Cup, 1 Spanish Super cup, 2 copa del rey 2 european Super cup etc.

And above all, Carlo Ancelotti has done exceptional work this season; that is, Real Madrid has played 24 matches under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti this season and has lost only 1 match in La Liga. is also at the top, and at the same time, the songs of the Uefa Champion League have also been qualified. And in UCL, what is the amazing record that there has been a 100% winning ratio in the group stages despite this season? Real Madrid has suffered a lot of injuries, but despite all these flaws, Carlo Ancelotti has organized the team and given the best performance.

So it means that Real Madrid did a very good job of extending Carlo Ancelotti's contract. He has the ability to do the best for real Madrid. What do the rest of you think? Express your opinion.

I would be more surprised if Ancelotti happens to manage Brazil, because I don't remember Brazil being managed by european. But the prospect of him leading the Brazilian national team which has rich footballing history and the flair of the samba dance held a certain allure. Many hoped that Ancelotti could be the catalyst to refresh and bring back the glory days of Brazilian football.

His commitment to Real Madrid suggests that he sees a continuing project and potential success with the club. This might be disheartening for Brazilian fans, but it's a testament to the allure and prestige of managing a top European club, especially Real Madrid. The landscape of managerial careers often lead to unexpected stories, and the football world is full of surprises.

[temple]

middle of everything. Too good to be sitting on the bench only and not good enough to be playing every game. I considered him a pretty strong offensive midfielder, but not sure why he couldn't improve his game a bit more than he did. I think this contract is really good news for him as both sides obviously know each other well and appreciate each other. If not, they wouldn't have entered into another 3.5 years contract.

I think he is also fine with the salary as he had the chance to make big money while he was playing for Real Madrid. He made about 15 million per year there. Now it says he is making a little bit over 6 million per year. It's not too bad given that he has a long term contract.

the only problem is performance issues. We know that Isco experienced a decline in performance until he was dumped by Madrid. I'm surprised Betis gave him a long contract. which means they know the conditions well.
If Isco manages to play consistently and doesn't get seriously injured, it will benefit Betis. he's a tough player. he played well in Madrid, he just needs to return to his best form.

He played all games this season as far as I know and I think he missed the game against Girona because of some back issues. But apart from that he is playing a good season with several goals and assists and a constantly strong performance level. Maybe he deserves the contract, but I have to say I didn't watch any of the Betis games except for some small excerpts when they had their games against the big teams. He played almost a decade for Real Madrid, which means they never really knew what to do with him.

[TelolettOm]

Now we can say Ancellotti leaving Real Madrid was just a rumour, while his new contract ends in 2026 Real Madrid may want him to continue depending on his performance, also I guess Real Madrid really can now wait for Xabi Alonso who is currently doing great in bayern Leverkusen. Brazil definitely will be disappointed about the whole drama but I guess they will look for other options.

It was quite a relief because Ancelotti ultimately remained at Real Madrid after it was previously reported that he would become coach of the Brazilian National Team. while the rumors regarding Xabi should stop after this latest final news. Yes, at least, Xabi is currently on fire and is good at coaching Leverkusen, who are currently still at the top standings in the Bundesliga. So, for now, Real Madrid will focus more on finding players who will strengthen this club, even though they have Bellingham, they still need strikers, one of them, to further strengthen the team, and also several talented players in other positions. Because after all, competition is getting tighter and more difficult, both in La Liga and in the UCL.

I would be more surprised if Ancelotti happens to manage Brazil, because I don't remember Brazil being managed by european. But the prospect of him leading the Brazilian national team which has rich footballing history and the flair of the samba dance held a certain allure. Many hoped that Ancelotti could be the catalyst to refresh and bring back the glory days of Brazilian football.

This was also a matter of debate there, when Ancelotti was to become their national team coach. because after all, Brazil has many football legends and there are several quite capable professional coaches in Brazil. So this might be one of the considerations until finally this decision is made.

Carlo Ancelotti's choice is certain, and hopefully he will not regret what he did. Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best coaches that Real Madrid has ever had, and so far, Carlo Ancelotti has brought Real Madrid to victory in several competitions, so the manager of Real Madrid has made an offer to extend his contract because it seems that the Real Madrid team, when coached by Carlo Ancelotti, will provide very satisfactory value.

I believe Ancelotti knows the reason why he has decided to stay back instead of walking away even when he has all the opportunities to walk away with good stakes. But I feel like he understands the club so well that he wants to remain and work together with the management and players to build a robust strategy with the players.

Ancelotti has been delivering quite excellently to my own liking and if he has the best squad depth, I believe he can work better. Ancelotti performance have outweighed that of Xavi in the scheme of works and I can only say Kudos to him for the job well done.

[Leviathan.007]

It seems Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he is going to stay there.
SIcne we heard any news about Brazil trying to hire Carlo Ancelotti for their team and use this coach in the 2026 World Cup, but he extended his contract with Real Madrid to prove he prefers to continue his career in Real Madrid and he prefers to stay there.
Carlo Ancelotti's new contract will expire in 2026 and this coach wants to achieve even more titles with Real Madrid.
