La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[junder]

They have remain unbeaten on the Spanish La Liga and there four matches has been a performance to write home about and they currently have the highest points on the league and I think they also have the higher goals because they always score two goals and above especially the last match with Real Valladolid, they use them to deliver the message that the financial problem they were having has not impacted negatively on them, though I'm happy for them but is too early to be sure because this improvement is very common to some of the club during the beginning of season because you can see what Tottenham Hotspur did last season they started the same unbeaten record but with time we new that they were not that strong as we were made to believe.

Barcelona's start to the season so far in La Liga has been very good, the progress and development of the squad under Hansi Flick's guidance shows the world as if there is no problem, Barca seems to wake up from a nightmare. And here consistency is needed so that Barcelona continues to show progress, maintains its unbeaten record and remains loyal to the top of the standings until the end, is that possible? That's what they have to emphasize now because a small mistake can make another club shift their position at the top, including Real Madrid.

Ancelotti is one of the professional coaches who never fails to rotate Madrid players and has always succeeded in developing the talents of certain players to become professional players. And regarding the problem of Mbappe who has difficulty scoring, it doesn't mean that he has the wrong place but he is more suitable in the striker position and Vinic is in the wing position. But all these difficulties are caused by too many professional players in Madrid attacking line. I'm not saying that Ancelotti failed to rotate the player's position but it is a fact that between Vinic, Rodrygo, Bellingham and Mbappe, they definitely want to score to get the title of top scorer. So this problem makes Mbappe who has a little difficulty scoring because he has just joined Madrid. If later they are used to conditions like this, I am sure Ancelotti will change the mindset of the players to not be selfish and everyone must score for the future of the team.

After yesterday's match against Betis Mbappe expressed a very positive speech about Vini jr on press media. I dunno how much it positive is cause I've seen very different scenery on the field.

You know what is the problem? Kylian Mbappé can't really play as striker, but Vini Jr. really can't play as a striker possession  

Whatever, other positions are already filled up, so nothing to do here, the best decision that Carlo Ancelotti can make right now is to actually give Mbappé the position of main striker.

By the way, him and Vini are already having a competition between themselves.
As we all know they are not passing between themselves pretty regularly.
So in this situation if Ancelotti is trying to play Mbappé in the left-wing position it is going to be more chaotic.

If you ask me, I actually don’t think Mbappé is going to do badly as a striker.
After all, he has great finishing and also has good ball control.

I expect Los Blancos will be going to take the same approach as they did with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo was actually a player in the left-wing position. But ultimately he was made the striker and we all know what glorious happened after that.

Barcelona football team did back to back goals and opponent team could not do any single goal in this match. That is very surprising thing for us because we didn't see that kind of match in which opponent team did not resist. They could do at least 1 goal in this match and I am thinking that that match could be fix. Because In past we didn't see that kind of matches and every team has some courage to do do at least one goal but in this match , Valladolid could not do one goal. If that was natural then that is very embarrassing for them because they did not prepare well for that matches. That matches are tough for them but they have to give their hundred percent to fight in this match.

Barcelona should have been able to do that, even in the Xavi era. It's just that, perhaps the level of understanding, experience and creativity in strategy is what differentiates the current Barcelona coach from the previous one. In the Hansi Flick era, Barca's playing style changed, he carried the philosophy of total football. where Flick emphasized that Barcelona's players should appear more dominant to always control the ball, plus give high pressure to the opposing team and Barcelona has done it throughout this competition. Although there are still gaps and shortcomings, it is common in any team. That's why Flick is required to develop his tactics and strategies. Plus, he also has to maintain the fitness of his players. because, some of them are quite prone to injury if they drain their energy too much in every match. In the Xavi era, the players did not do that, in the Hansi Flick era, every player must appear all out otherwise their position will be replaced. in the Valladolid camp, this team is not a strong opponent for Barcelona. but in fact, Barca did appear impressive. it would be very natural if Valladolid were defeated with a landslide score, after all this match was held at Camp Nou, Barcelona's home ground.

[Cookdata]

The generation era must be carried out by every club otherwise the club's performance will continue to decline, the club will definitely look for a replacement and that figure and that is in Vinicius Junior even though it takes time to form a squad that Real Madrid once did in its golden era, I think Vinicius Junior and his friends are able to repeat the golden era in bringing Real Madrid, with the presence of Mbappe will further sharpen Real Madrid's front line even though these two players are right wingers and of course Carlo Ancelotti understands and seeks solutions in this situation so that both can be played together.

When you look at the new  talent in Real Madrid, they are mostly infleuce by their idol which ofcourse Christiano Ronaldo. He is a man that plays by passion and always ready to do anything for his club, that's the same footstep must of them were able to blend in into the squad and the reason why you see them execute well it's because some of the old guys still remain among the squad else someone like Modric will be out since but elder state men influence is need to ginger the new cats.

Like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, both of them play in the same position but Zinédine Zidane's ingenuity is able to mix both of them into figures to help Karim Benzema to create goals and even both can become goal machines, here is Carlo Ancelotti's role to create goal machines like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, these two figures are the right ones to replace both of them in order to form Vinicius Junior and Mbappe into goal machines that at times become a scary specter for the opposing team.

Anceloti is a manager that can coordinate any players, leave Christiano Ronaldo influence from this aspect, take a look at his track record from his profile, man has even killed it in his time when he was in Chelsea. It's because of his past glories he has been able to maintain the way he is like, nobody can change who is. Just like saying Guardiola is doing well in Manchester City because he is trying to recreate the things he has done in Barcelona with Messi.

That matches are tough for them but they have to give their hundred percent to fight in this match.

Barcelona was so strong in that match and clearly the performance of their players was very surprising. We can see the general picture of how Barcelona dominated the match from the game statistics, of course it is true that Barcelona could have scored more than 10 goals if the Valladolid goalkeeper had not made 4 saves. Raphinha has been really good so far, as has their young star on the right wing.

I can't deny, Barcelona this season was very good at the start of the season. Their performance cannot be separated from Hansi Flick's approach to game strategy. So, in the end Barcelona could become the favorite title challenger if they can maintain their performance until the first half of this season is over. Barcelona has not had a comparable opponent so far, but wins over Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano could be a benchmark that the team's performance is getting better.

[Chilwell]

Who now sees that Barcelona are currently what we all expected Madrid to be and Madrid being what we expected Barcelona to be, they have been having a few consecutive win on their matches which is a great sign of development and progress from the influence of the coach and how he coordinates his team. We now get to see Barcelona as a top contender for the La Liga title.

It just four matches played and you have started praising Barcelona, I will say you should wait because it too early, some of the Madrid key players are injured and their absent contribute to their failure which means I will say let Madrid have their full squad before you can say anything, no one expected that J. Bellingham, E. Camavinga, and the likes will be out currently, I still have heavy faith on real madrid that they will bounce back to the form everyone was anticipated. It not easy losing a player like Toni because real madrid really find it difficult to replace but I assured you if it notices Madrid will bounce back.

[Webetcoins]

Barcelona is looking to get rid of De Jong if they can, because he is getting paid 30+ million euro a year, and he has been injured for over half a year and because he hasn't recovered so far, there is a possibility that he could get a surgery as well, meaning that it's near impossible for any team to get him. Who would want to pay that much money to a player that may not even play, it would be very unlikely and you would have to have great staff at medical part to make sure they can fix him quicker.

I believe even a loan deal for him is out of question right now, because dude would just stay injured all during his loan spell. They need to just sell him for cheap, find a way to get rid of him even if it means for free, that way they will do better. It's simple mathematics, if they can't sell him, just unload him to some other team, and many teams would be willing to get him for free, I hear that Chelsea has some more squad spots left They could make zero work and get rid of 30+ million contract.

[jaberwock]

there's no big responsibility that's attached to mbape. He will even do better as an attacker when he doesn't make it look like he has to make a point in the team or get some form of validation from people before being recognized as a top player in the team. Without mbape, thier was nothing missing in the real Madrid squared. They played well compactly and even delivered better than the result they've hard in this season. Mbape's joining of Madrid is just to reduce Boden on vinicius and Jude Bellingham and not to supplement on the lapses the team was facing cause in reality real Madrid wasn't facing any limitation in the past.  One of the key things that help the last season real Madrid is that they didn't have a natural attacker that was a standing attacker. It helped such that goals was coming in from different angles and you weren't sure who was going to score between Rodrygo, vinicius or Jude Bellingham. His coming has given him a central role to play as the primary attacker and what that is supposed to do to the team is that it's supposed to confuse defenders to prevent him from scoring goals while opening up more chances for other people to score more goals. People will look at it as a tough season for mpabe but he's going to score less goals than expected in this season.

I do agree that Mbappe joining was just icing on the cake, they didn't really "need" him, they are just doing fine without him too, but they need everyone together, that's the point of a team. Nothing happens if you remove Mbappe and add in Jude, nothing happens if you remove Vini and add Jude back in, nothing happens when Jude is missing. One player doesn't mean anything in Real Madrid, but if you start to miss more and more, then it becomes a bigger deal.

Right now Madrid is doing fine, they are not really in big trouble and I think it's clear that we are going to see Real Madrid do fine with Mbappe, maybe they had some bad scores so far but that doesn't mean that they will keep having those bad scores, they will do just fine with time, they just need to focus on whatever they can do with what they have. This is why they can't just ignore the issues but can't dwell on them neither, they need to act as if nothing is wrong and as long as they do that, they should be fine.

Real Madrid may soon be the perfect Real Madrid we used to see. They have lost too many points since the beginning of the league. They have drawn two matches and these matches were not big matches. They will also compete against strong teams such as Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Athletic Bilbao. The points they lose here could take away their championship. Therefore, the four points they lost at the beginning of the league will hurt them a lot in the championship race at the end of the league.

Slowly Real Madrid began to show team cohesion, and perhaps this will continue in the next matches after the international break. Real Madrid's problem at the beginning of the season was getting two draws because their squad had no chemistry and several times the front line looked selfish, especially between Vini and Mbappe which made it difficult for them to score goals.

However, after seeing the last match, Vini here has changed, he has started to mature, he knows that Mbappe needs goals to build his confidence, he even let Mbappe take the penalty kick. This is proof that Vini is no longer selfish and thinks more about the team than himself. In this match we also saw that the Real Madrid squad began to dare with creative and daring passes like Valverde, this is very different from previous matches.

Real Madrid's game is currently getting better, losing four points is not a problem because La Liga is still very long, and I am sure that by opening the goal tap for Mbappe after scoring two goals against Real Betis. So I think in the next games he will score goals again because his confidence is back.

I read some comments that only focus on seeing Mbappe's failure, but in reality the problem is not seen in the attack line but in the midfield which failed to play rhythm. I suspect the loss of Toni Kroos still has a big impact on the team, Ancelotti has not found the right replacement for that position. The international break could be the right time for Don Carlo to restart his squad. And I am still sure Los Blancos will soon find their best form.

Regarding negative comments about Mbappe because they expect too much while they forget the process to achieve the best game is not always instant. So if you keep demanding to see Mbappe score goals then please be patient. Slowly it will definitely happen because Ancelotti also understands Mbappe situation who is not used to a competition as tight as La Liga. In Ligue 1 we may see Mbappe score goals in almost every match but in La Liga it is definitely different. The competition between clubs in Ligue 1 is at a different level that cannot be compared to Spanish clubs.

I believe you are right. League 1 and La Liga are not the same because league 1 is more easy than laliga, every season will notice that PSG are always the favourite of winning the league every time because they are more better than the other club in the league, and this season started again and they are already winning all of their matches again. Mbappe needs to spend time before he can understand the competition very well because there are many clubs in the league that are strong, and Real Madrid are the better club in the team, but now Girona and Athletico Madrid are strong now and challenge madrid and Barcelona. Even last season, Girona had the opportunity to defeat Barcelona at home and away. Real Madrid has begun to win matches, as evidenced by their battle against Real Betis, where Vini Jr. and Mbappe have begun to understand themselves. Ancelotti will focus on Barcelona now because the new coach of Barcelona is in good shape, and the players are really trying to win the league trophy they don't want to lose the title this season. Let's see how the competition ends and who wins the league.

All those that criticized and underestimate the player when he signed for Real Madrid, trolling him online that he's going to flop in Santiago Bernabéu, what happen to the online banter, everywhere is just quiet, funny it is. Kylian Mbappe is a star, he will outshines many of his teammates in Real Madrid. He's not a ghost player, I've no records of the Frenchman ghosting any season he played for his former club, Paris Saint-Germain. He deliver as expected and he's currently in Real Madrid to win games and lifting major titles. He scored a brace in his fourth appearance for Real Madrid, congratulations to him for breaking the goal scoring barrier and he's definitely fit and comfortable to score more in the frontline. He's hunger for more goals and we know the dual level of the player, he will develop a good chemistry between his teammates, winning and scoring goals will be constant for him.

Yes, that's right. Mbappe is still in the process of adapting at the beginning of the season and gaining confidence, especially since he is at Real Madrid as a striker, unlike when he played at PSG, his position was LW. Of course, this change in position takes time and process and yesterday's match was a little visible, hopefully after the international break Real Madrid's game will be more solid.

In addition, why did Mbappe have difficulties in the first three matches because actually Mbappe only needs support from his teammates. This reminds me of a few years ago when Benzema was still at Real Madrid, he also had difficulty scoring goals. However, he was lucky to have one teammate who was willing to help support him. Actually at that time Ronaldo could have scored a goal, but he chose to provide an assist to Benzema, and as a result Benzema was able to score a goal. With these goals, his own mentality will improve, and that's what Mbappe needs right now.

If we talk about Real Madrid's attack line as a whole and not just focus on Mbappe. So actually what often received criticism at the start of this season was the way they took advantage of opportunities in front of the opponent's goal. The level of accuracy in Real Madrid's attack line has indeed decreased and not only for Mbappe but also for other players who are already at Real Madrid. And because we pay the most attention to Mbappe, we see it as if Mbappe is the one playing badly. Even though he plays the same as other players. It could even be said that he is actually extraordinary because he was able to adapt quite quickly at Real Madrid. And yes, because actually Mbappe doesn't seem to have enough experience in competition in the domestic league which is quite as fierce as in LaLiga. When he was at PSG he was used to being at a club that always dominated the league there. But in Laliga all clubs can really dominate. Last season, Girona even did it. And because Mbappe is at Real Madrid, it is natural that he is always in the spotlight and is expected to immediately become a star on the field. Because so far the spearhead position at Real Madrid has always been the center of attention. And usually they are always football stars. Like in the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema. Even Joselu last season was expected to be like that. For now, we have to be patient and wait for Mbappe to play more comfortably here. And amazingly, Mbappe finally scored a goal in the last match.

Mbappe clearly needs time to show his good performance and especially he is a new player in the team and adjustments to playing style may be needed to understand each other's characters. In addition, it is very natural for fans to expect better performance from Mbappe and so far Mbappe has been able to give his best by scoring two goals in the previous match.

Mbappe with the quality he has who is able to score goals from any position will clearly not be difficult for him to score goals in the upcoming matches. It is true that the competition looks so tight because at the beginning of this season their rivals, Barcelona, ​​​​are running at a very good pace. But this is still quite early and I am sure Mbappe can amaze many fans with his performance until the end of the season.

[Baki202]

Mbappe is a player that Ancelotti has always wanted to be in the squad, even before Madrid managed to get him for free this season from PSG, Madrid had actually tried to offer PSG a high price but PSG actually refused and preferred to lose osimhen with free this season , Osimhen is projected as one of Ronaldo successors at Madrid, although currently he has not yet found his best performance with Madrid, but Osimhen remains Ancelotti main choice in Madrid front line, Mbappe has only scored two goals in the 4 matches he has played so far and make many parties are starting to I doubt Mbappe can develop well at Madrid, but in my opinion Mbappe currently just needs time to adapt so it looks like we just need to wait for him to regain his sharpness in scoring goals.
Regarding Joselu move from madrid, it is reported that Madrid wants to be retained joselu in the squad this season but after his loan period  im madrid was over and he received a fantastic offer from the Qatar team, of course he immediately accepted it and that's not because Ancelotti didn't need him.

Their was much hope on Mbappe and their is still much hope on him, Ancelotti knows Mbappes worth his talent will be very useful when attacking, all Mbappe wanted was to be free from psg and Real Madrid was his dream and now that his in Madrid he as to be committed since it was his dream and psg was not really smart about making decisions for Mbappe because they would have made money from him and at the end of the day, they got what they would have paid for for free. And I think you are talking about Mbappe not osimhen, osimhen case is different from that of Mbappe, Osimhen case is with Napoli back to Mbappe case, everyone wanted Mbappe to active in Madrid. And I actually see the way Mbappe is making effort trying to make his fans happy because a lot of people are trying to see what Mbappe will become a star player in Real Madrid it is something am sure of, Mbappe  has speed and can also score so it's a perfect combo, speed and that is a very useful talent when it comes to attacking more time is need.

Toni Kroos was a world class midfielder, there's no how his absence will not be felt in the team. However, his absence shouldn't be too obvious such that it will cause huge problems in the team because players like Modric is still around. Instead of me agreeing that Real Madrid's inability to score goals is caused by Kross departure, I'll agree that it is caused by Bellingham's injury.

As for Mbappe, I didn't expect him to flop because he is a great player. Also, I don't also expect his shine to lead to Vini Junior's fail. There should be a balance.

[karabiber]

In the second half of the match, Real Madrid already knew how Real Betis wanted to play against them and Real Madrid's coach made a substitution that can be attacked very well and create a chance to score goals, Brahim Diaz is always Ancelotti's favorite and whenever he enters the field he changes the game and also creates chances for the team to score goals, Mbappe score the two goals in the match and that's what all Real Madrid players want, the team wants to build Mbappe by letting him have a goal to keep him motivated.

The the match between Real Madrid and Betis was so excited because the was game was very tough which nobody even expected that Beria can give Real Madrid so much pressure, and the way Betis make attempts against Real Madrid in that match if to say the Madrid coach didn’t make substitutions in that moments the mighty end in draw or the favor of Betis.

Mbappe has starting given the Real Madrid works of joy, all this while some Real Madrid fans was saying Mbappe has never start show up his performance, they don’t that everything is gradually process a player will joined a team new and understand the teams playing patterns with one or two weeks; we can see now that Mbappe have know how the teams played patterns be it has begin bringing positive changes to the team.

You can see in this match how the lack of creative and possession midfielders has an impact on football. Kroos and Modric are the foundation of Real Madrid. With Modric on the bench due to a tactical change, Ancelotti is experimenting with complex game plans. No matter how many fast players Ancelotti recruits on the wings, it won't work if there is no one in the midfield to set up play.

I also think Real Madrid have a leader problem at the moment, the absence of Kross is obvious. Because everyone wants to get forward and score goals and they don't seem to care about the game plan. Real Madrid's squad is very bloated. Even talents like Diaz and Endrick are not getting minutes. What worries me the most is that Mbappe's incompatibility will cost Real Madrid dearly this season. Real Madrid didn't do anything good by signing Mbappe, on the contrary, it destabilized other players. I'm already saying that Ancelotti may not be able to manage this team easily in the future.

However, his absence shouldn't be too obvious such that it will cause huge problems in the team because players like Modric is still around. Instead of me agreeing that Real Madrid's inability to score goals is caused by Kross departure, I'll agree that it is caused by Bellingham's injury.

However, it must be realized that the loss of Toni Kroos is very noticeable in Real Madrid's game this season, despite having a luxurious front line, in the four matches in La Liga that have been played, Real Madrid's goal productivity has not been good. So it can be said that the loss of Toni makes Real Madrid's game unstable in the midfield, indeed there is still Modric but so far Modrick's performance has not been stable. We'll see after Bellingham recovers from injury whether Real Madrid's goal productivity will increase.

As for Mbappe, I didn't expect him to flop because he is a great player. Also, I don't also expect his shine to lead to Vini Junior's fail. There should be a balance.

Right. I also don't doubt Mbappe, because he is a talented player, he just needs to adapt and I think Ancelotti is happy to see Mbappe finally score a goal at the Santiago Bernabeu and become his first goal in Laliga before the international break. This is important to build Mbappe's confidence so that he can continue to score goals in the next match after the international break. This does not interfere with Vini's performance at all because with Mbappe who has found his best performance again, it will facilitate cooperation between Mbappe and Vini which will ultimately make Real Madrid's front line sharper.

Real Madrid didn't do anything good by signing Mbappe, on the contrary, it destabilized other players. I'm already saying that Ancelotti may not be able to manage this team easily in the future.

I don't think that's the case because the leader since Kroos has been in the squad is not Kroos, so there's no problem with the leader on the pitch because even though we lost Nacho, we still have Carvajal and Modric, who are good leaders for the youngsters of Madrid this time.

Kroos' role is crucial but of course it's a transition because sooner or later he's going to leave and this season he did just that so there's no need to feel like it's over because Madrid's midfield is still pretty good even though Kroos is definitely irreplaceable but there are still some young players who can fill the void in other ways.
The situation was complicated when Camavinga and Jude were injured but once they've recovered I think Madrid's situation will be much better again as the attacking schemes become more complex.
