La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[barisbilgili]

Courtois has just recovered from an injury and Ancelotti knows that if he gets injured again, he will need a good long-term goalkeeper. Lunin made the most of the opportunity he got last year. This has also brought him a new contract this year. He has also proven to everyone that he has the potential to be a long-term Real Madrid goalkeeper.

To become Real Madrid's main goalkeeper I think it will be quite difficult but as a substitute Lunin has proven that he is quite good last season and even Lunin can be expected to do more things that are needed, so the decision to extend Lunin's contract is a reasonable thing.
Courtois is still Real Madrid's main goalkeeper, even though he has just recovered from injury he can still show his best performance without any problems.

In a team, two goalkeepers who have adequate abilities are really needed so that if one of them is injured, there will be no problems as well as when rotating players when the schedule is tight, and so far Real Madrid's goalkeepers have everything for both of their goalkeepers, so it will be quite safe.

But isn't it too early to start judging Mbappe performance for Real Madrid, he hasn't played that many games to judge him. He has already helped them to win a trophy just few weeks in the club. We shouldn't be comparing Lewandowski to Mbappe, they're both strikers but Lewandowski has more experience and has won more trophies than mbappe. they're also playing in a different club with different playing style. Mbappe has more pressures to perform than Lewandowski has that's why he wants to be the players scoring so he can be worth all the attention. Mbappe has to be selfish sometimes or he can't be the main man at the club.

Some times ist just clear how we create for ourselves stress in trying to be so quick already in judging or comparing a player differently from the other meanwhile we are  not putting every factor as they should be in place to get an actual and proper comparison because what else would I call a comparison with someone who has not played up to five game been compared to some other who has been there over a season, mbappe should be given at least till  mid season before saying actually if he's good enough or not.

Well you are right, moreover scorers at Real Madrid are not only Mbappe sometimes Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo they are also quite active in the front line so it does not mean that Mbappe does not score many goals then we have to give a lot of criticism at the beginning I think that is unfair. The Real Madrid squad has above average abilities they do not only depend on one player like when Mbappe was at PSG so they work together to make their club perform extraordinary. I am sure that over time Mbappe will definitely return to his best performance he just needs to adapt and find his rhythm of play at Real Madrid especially finding chemistry with each other so as not to be selfish.

As a good team, Real Madrid is very aggressive with experienced forwards like Mbappe and Rodrygo and also the amazing skills of luka and brahim as midfielders make the whole team amazing. If you talk about average ability, it would be very easy for them to win every match and they have that ability. I think if Mbappe can get back to his normal rhythm he will definitely get goals. In fact, the team management they had while at PSG was full of experience and the team work process management was very strong so that each player could see his true craft. I think a star player like Mbappe will be able to give a lot of good performances in the upcoming matches.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have successfully gone through their first four matches perfectly, they have scored a total of 13 goals and only conceded three goals. This perfect start has seen Barcelona top the standings, four points ahead of their eternal rivals who have only managed two wins and two draws. Barcelona new recruit (Dani Olmo) also performed very well, he immediately showed his class in his first two appearances by always scoring goals.

Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy. Of course Hansi Flick will do his best to get maximum results, my prediction is that Barcelona will increase their winning record at Girona headquarters with a score of 1-2.

In the first four matches we saw very good performances from Barcelona. In the last BCS match, Barcelona team won against Real Valladolid with a huge margin of 7-0. And that's why I would say Barcelona players are more confident now. Olmo, Yamal and Raphinha are in excellent form at the moment.

Barcelona did not win a match against Girona last season. Barcelona lost both matches 4-2. This season, Barcelona will definitely want to avenge the defeat of the previous season. And Barcelona have every ability to beat Girona this season. I would say Barcelona will win by a big margin this season against Girona.

Girona's defense is definitely better than Valladolid's, so I don't expect Barcelona to score as many goals, and Girona are not as good as they were last season, especially at the start of the season when they started with a draw with Betis and a loss to Atletico. Then there were two wins against weaker opponents, but I'm not sure that Girona are capable of beating Barcelona now, but at the same time I'm not sure that Barcelona will win, although the odds on Barcelona 1.88 look tempting.

Andriy Lunin has proven that he is good enough as a substitute goalkeeper and can be relied on and this has been proven last season so the steps taken by Real Madrid management are quite right.
Initially there were many rumors circulating that Andriy Lunin would soon leave but finally Real Madrid was able to retain their goalkeeper who was quite meritorious for Real Madrid in the UCL stage last season especially in the semifinal match against Manchester City.
I think this is the right and reasonable step to take, Real Madrid does not need to worry if there is a rotation of players for the goalkeeper because their main goalkeeper and their backup have quite good quality.

I even see the depth of Real Madrid's squad this season is quite good between the main players and the reserve players so that the problem of player rotation will not actually be an obstacle for Real Madrid to continue to perform well in any competition including in the UCL this season. But Real Madrid still has to hope for the recovery of several players who are still injured because almost all players become more important this season after each team that enters the UCL has to undergo a new format with very different conditions.

From what I have seen this season, I think Real Madrid are the most complete team in the Spanish and even compared to many players because their bench and even their starting eleven is filled with lots of players that can play the position of other players when they are injured and the case of the goal keeper lunin is another example because I know there are good replacement for him.

This is a nightmare for Real Madrid but they are just losing the player they bought for sending too much money in this season and there are many players who are injured in Real Madrid which can make it hard for them to choose the squad for each match. Real Sociedad is the next team they are going to play against them and this can be hard for them because in this match against Real Sociedad, they won't be able to use Bellingham, Tchouaméni because both players are still injured and they won't be in this game against Sociedad.

Yes I know Girona's defense is not as strong as Valladolid's. At the same time, the Girona team is also quite strong. Despite not performing well in the first two matches, Girona won the last two matches. Girona played well in both matches. Still I expect Barcelona to win by a big margin. I don't expect Barcelona to score 7 goals like in the last match. But I guess Barcelona will score at least 3 goals in this match. Because Barcelona's forward players are now confident. Raphinha, Olmo, Yamal and Lewa are all performing well now. This is why it will be difficult for Girona's defenders to resist Barcelona in this match.

As a good team, Real Madrid is very aggressive with experienced forwards like Mbappe and Rodrygo and also the amazing skills of luka and brahim as midfielders make the whole team amazing. If you talk about average ability, it would be very easy for them to win every match and they have that ability. I think if Mbappe can get back to his normal rhythm he will definitely get goals. In fact, the team management they had while at PSG was full of experience and the team work process management was very strong so that each player could see his true craft. I think a star player like Mbappe will be able to give a lot of good performances in the upcoming matches.

What a club. Proper structure, clear communication, and great commitment. Madrid players are the Real system players.
Real Madrid is the best football team and will be the all-time favorite
It's always exciting to watch them play, I can’t wait to see how they play in El Clasico.
And I'm delighted with Mbappe, He has everything a player like him needs. He is a spectacular player.

Performance of these clubs are highly stationed to be fiercely competitive. Carlo Ancelotti knows his players and making good use of them is not an issue from his ends. Real Madrid are definitely not on the same level with other clubs, they've in possession of amazing players, we're talking about players that can be able to standout when it's time for elite tournaments. They're not frighten but confident enough to enchanced their ability to face any oppositions.

The new bringing of the speedster, Kylian Mbappe in Real Madrid frontline means end of story. With linkup with Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham, Mbappe will definitely net more goals for his new club. Kylian Mbappe happens to be proactive for league games and executive solid plans towards scoring. Mbappe has come to Real Madrid to win major titles and that is his concern.

What is seen in Madrid today is nothing other than the result of the work by Madrid management and also the high ambitions of Fiorentino Perez as the owner of the club all this time, Perez has always fully supported Ancelotti in building Madrid structurally and systematically so as enable them to continue to be success competing all this time in La Liga and also the Champions League, Madrid has  been a team that has a long history of glory and they have continued to be favorites all this time both in European competitions and also in the domestic league, although all this time Madrid has continued to be able to bring in lots of star players but they still been able to maintain their financial stability so far.

 The El Classico match in the last few seasons has experienced a decrease in the intensity of their game after Ronaldo and Messi left the Spanish league, so in my opinion the El Classico match is no longer an attraction for us to see, maybe Mbappe arrival will give a new color to the El Classico match in the future, but the question now is whether the rivalry between Mbappe and Lamine Yamal can be as intense as the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo before?

Mbappe came to Real Madrid after winning the Champions League title. Mbappe is a fantastic striker. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot of goals. Mbappe has the potential to become La Liga's top scorer with the help of the players in Madrid's squad.

But Mbappe has yet to settle into the Madrid squad. More importantly, we have seen a decline in Vini's performance since Mbappe arrived in Madrid. However, Ancelotti is yet to form his best starting XI, as several players in the squad are injured. After Ancelotti forms his best XI we will understand how strong Madrid's performance will be. However, Madrid's overall performance so far has been erratic. We are not getting better performances from Mbappe and Vini.

People already realized what makes it interesting isn't Barcelona vs Real Madrid, but Messi vs Ronaldo.

Football then: full skill, physically strong, loyalty over everything.
Football now: so-so skill, physically weak, diving, drama, rolling on the ground, money and popularity over loyalty.

But Mbappe has yet to settle into the Madrid squad. More importantly, we have seen a decline in Vini's performance since Mbappe arrived in Madrid. However, Ancelotti is yet to form his best starting XI, as several players in the squad are injured. After Ancelotti forms his best XI we will understand how strong Madrid's performance will be.

Vini's performance looks decline because all the spotlight are goes to Mbappe, Vini wasn't happy to see Mbappe since he know Mbappe will take over his popularity.

This has also brought him a new contract this year. He has also proven to everyone that he has the potential to be a long-term Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Andriy Lunin today is among the nominated goalkeepers for the Goalkeeper Of The Year Award in this year's ballon d'Or awards ceremony and that's because of his incredible performance of last season when Courtoise was unavailable for Real Madrid because of a long term injury he picked. Signing a new contract at Real Madrid recently came as a surprise to me because I was thinking he'll opt for departure from the club instead of continuing to be their second choice goalkeeper. If Courtoise continues to be fully fit, Lunin will rarely have the opportunity to show his true class but since he accepted to remain at Real Madrid, I think he understands better than many of us
