We don't have to forget a fact if he is a Ballon d'Or winner of 2022, we not to doubt Benzema is the best player for this year, He just not to lucky not in the France squad because got the injury at the beginning, And I'm really sure if Benzema are in the squad and play in Final versus Argentina, the result will not like this. So far he still not find the performance in real Madrid maybe because age factor, he have target to hold the champions league trophy and take back 1st la liga position from Barca.
Yes that's right. However, even if we can maintain the 1st position in La Liga, it will not be easy to win the Champions League. Because Mbappe, the best player of the World Cup, and Messi, who won the World Cup trophy, will play in the Champions League and in the same team. 
Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 2990. (Read 550835 times)
I'm so glad the world cup has finally come to an end. Returning from the break is accompanied by tough games in the La liga. Barcelona are going against Espanyol, this is a tough fixture but I believe Barcelona will win this one and face Atletico Madrid in the next game and with the Europa league coming so fast, this will be a really difficult one for Barcelona.
We are also curious how Barcelona will be against Espanyol. The reason is, as we know, Lewandowski previously received a red card against Asassuna. that way, it is certain that Lewandowski will have to miss three matches with Barcelona due to accumulation of cards. So far, Barcelona will seek an appeal. however, there is no news regarding this matter. yes, the world cup is over. and all the players who took part in the championship show in Qatar, are confirmed to have returned to their respective teams.
Speaking of Barcelona, if in the end Barca have to play without Lewandowski. most likely, Barcelona will struggle in that match, even though Espanyol is actually not a strong team. Our attention is also focused on several players that Barcelona will include on the sale list in the transfer window later, and which players will Barcelona bring to Camp Nou. interesting for us to wait.
Benzema has announced that he has retired from France national team.
There have been so many big names announcing the same thing these days. Messi, Ronaldo and now Benzema... This is upsetting for football fans of course because we won't see these big players in big tournaments with their national teams anymore. They have been playing a big role in making these tournaments more watchable.
After making this announcement I started wondering how many years Benzema is planning to continue his general football career as well. As long as he is a part of Real Madrid I think he might continue to play at least the age of 40. Otherwise he might retire earlier than that by playing for a MLS team etc. for some time.
Ronaldo and Messi will continue their careers in the national teams, everyone was waiting for their completion, but both expressed opposite plans. As far as Benzema and Real Madrid are concerned, he will 100% not play there for that long - Real Madrid is a top club and it wants to remain a top club for a long time, so long before Benzema turns 40 he will be replaced by a young effective player.
Benzema has retired from the national team, and this is the first step for him to announce his retirement from football. Hereby indicating that he will also be retiring for football. Yes, this is something we don't want to see in football, where the players one by one will no longer see their performances. But this cannot be avoided because this is something that is certain in football.
But now there are many young players who are growing well, and I'm sure in the future they will experience the same era as now, yes they will replace the players we are currently seeing.
But for Real Madrid, I personally still believe that even without Benzema at least Real Madrid will still be able to compete strongly with Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title this season.
But if Barcelona are knocked out of the Europa League and then Real Madrid manage to go further in the Champions League, then I might doubt Real Madrid for the La Liga title. Because if Barcelona can focus more on La Liga this season, then winning the La Lig title for Barcelona will be even closer because their focus is getting better.

Because if Barcelona can focus more on La Liga this season, then winning the La Lig title for Barcelona will be even closer because their focus is getting better.
If we compare Barcelona and Madrid squad players then I would say Barcelona squad players are more experienced than Madrid. And Barcelona's squad is a bit stronger in comparison. However, considering the team performance, Real Madrid team will be much ahead. Barcelona team has many star players. But due to the lack of bonding between the players, they will lag behind. Without Benzema, Real Madrid is a strong enough team. And their performance is very stable. And so the Madrid team will continue to compete for the La Liga title.
We don't have to forget a fact if he is a Ballon d'Or winner of 2022, we not to doubt Benzema is the best player for this year, He just not to lucky not in the France squad because got the injury at the beginning, And I'm really sure if Benzema are in the squad and play in Final versus Argentina, the result will not like this. So far he still not find the performance in real Madrid maybe because age factor, he have target to hold the champions league trophy and take back 1st la liga position from Barca.
Can't imagine if Benzema returns to his best form at Real Madrid and is not injured, then it is very likely that Benzema will compete strongly in the hunt for the top scorer with Lewandowski. Because even so far, Benzema has already scored five goals in La Liga, this shows that Benzema is still very productive in scoring many goals.
So yes, there's no doubt that Benzema is still having good moments this season but unfortunately, his injuries have deprived him of added value because he didn't play in the World Cup.
But for Real Madrid, I personally still believe that even without Benzema at least Real Madrid will still be able to compete strongly with Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title this season.

Many people are still doubting, if Real Madrid will still perform well after the FIFA world cup competition, which the competition ended up yesterday for the favour of Argentina. We know that Karim Benzema is among the Pilar of Real Madrid but injury will not allow him to resume with them in their next game in this la Liga league which is a big challenge to Real Madrid fans now. I guess, Real Madrid coach will like to prove those people wrong, doubting if Real Madrid cannot achieve their victory without Karim Benzema.
It is difficult to predict how teams will perform after a long break. But expect Real Madrid to perform well. Their coach Ancelotti is very experienced. But it is difficult for Madrid to score without Benzema. Vinicius and Rodrygo are great players, but they are not experienced enough. I have seen the performance of these two players in the Brazil squad. They played well, but scoring goals is difficult for them. They miss easy opportunities. And so without Benzema it is very difficult for Real Madrid to win against the big clubs.Yes, Rodrygo cannot be fully relied on, his appearance is still very unstable, he is more suitable as a supersub attacker. Ronaldo was once linked with Real Madrid, but according to some reports the President of Real Madrid is not going to open the door for him. But in my opinion, Cody Gakpo deserves to be considered by Ancelotti as an alternative to cover up the deficiencies on the front lines.
Real Madrid is without a doubt one of the best clubs in La Liga and the Champions League. Because the understanding between their players is very good. Madrid coach Ancelotti has kept his squad unchanged for a long time, and so there is excellent chemistry between the players. Because of this, Madrid has been able to consistently perform well.
But still, their main striker is Benzema. It is difficult to win against the big teams without Benzema. Madrid needs Benzema. As his fitness is not good, Ancelotti should find a suitable replacement. If Madrid cannot find a suitable replacement for Benzema, it will be very difficult for them to win the title.

Barcelona are going against Espanyol, this is a tough fixture but I believe Barcelona will win this one and face Atletico Madrid in the next game and with the Europa league coming so fast, this will be a really difficult one for Barcelona.
The Europa League is still a long way off... Barcelona have eight games to play before they face Man U in the Europa League... I think that by that time they will be back in good shape to beat the English... By the way, before the Europa League match, Barcelona do have hard games against Betis and Villarreal... Hopefully this won't cause them any more difficulties...

If griezmann will be playing when he was playing in the world cup and im sure that atletico will be giving a tough game for barcelona. Im sure that both will be on disadvantages caused by their players will not be fully recovered. The next match will be very interesting to watch. Barcelona needs to win against atletico madrid to make sure real madrid will not able to be even closed with barcelona in the current standing of la liga. Espanyol may not be a tough opponent for barcelona in the next match. Barcelona needs to prepare against MU but this is still long way to go and im sure barcelona will be playing use the new squads.
Of course his fans will regret his decision a lot, but if it's a good decision for him everyone has to respect him regardless of the issue with Deschamps which is currently being discussed, I will of course support whatever decision is best for Benzema, he is the best player and he seems to be maybe he wants to focus on playing in the league with real madrid until he retires completely from the world of football
I don't know how bad the situation is at the moment, but to be honest I'm more worried about his condition at Real Madrid this season. I think Benzema will have to stay strong to have a great season even though he has been suffering from injuries for a while. It is expected that his recovery will be faster and he can contribute to Real Madrid better.There are lots of rumors about a new striker who will replace him as a starter, but I hope Real Madrid will handle it well. Benzema is the best in his position at the moment, but I admit he has shifted a bit this season.

Sad to hear the news that Benzema is retiring from the France national team, he announced this news to coincide with his 35th birthday. The 2022 Ballon d'Or winner is allegedly annoyed by Didier Deschamps decision, indeed Benzema still has the chance to play at Euro 2024 but the decision made by Benzema is final and has been well thought out. Fans must be saddened by the shocking decision he made but it's a good decision for him.
now benzema focus is only on the real madrid team he can prove his good quality in the second half of this season. no injuries have come to him anymore he needs to be strong and continue to make great contributions to real madrid.
I am shocking with Karim Benzema decision retired from France national team after World Cup, he retired at 35 years old and try keep focus with Real Madrid until ended his football career. I think one years later have EURO 2024, Karim Benzema has potential make last appearance with France national team depend has consistency performance with Real Madrid.now benzema focus is only on the real madrid team he can prove his good quality in the second half of this season. no injuries have come to him anymore he needs to be strong and continue to make great contributions to real madrid.
Retired still possibility returning back with several player announced have retired from their national team, but few months later with new manager change they try to comeback for national team, I hope Karim Benzema can close his football career at national team with trophy and EURO 2024 become great opportunity.
Yeah, he still has the time to contribute his best performance in Real Madrid. However, he didn't play in the World Cup, so he probably has been fit right now. Although they may have the injury, he may have been getting much better again. Benzema is one of the most influential players for Real Madrid, especially in the current era. And it seems that Real Madrid is still depending on him as their main focus if there is no replacement who might really be on par or above in the same position.
He has time to play for Real Madrid and months ago, when he was asked about his plan after this contract expiration, he said he will end his career in Madrid, with Real Madrid, not with another club.Benzema retired his career with his national team France. He announced it one day after World Cup 2022 final match. It is predictable after the latest unfair treatment of France and Deschamps for Benzema.
I can not verify news about Benzema vs Deschamps relationship is true but Benzema career with France is not smooth. He has a national career like Eric Cantona and David Ginola especially King Eric Cantona. Benzema and Cantona have successful careers with their clubs (Real Madrid for Benzema and Manchester United for Cantona) but their careers with France are very bad.
They did not have many chances with their national team and both Cantona, Benzema ended their national career without any title.
now benzema focus is only on the real madrid team he can prove his good quality in the second half of this season. no injuries have come to him anymore he needs to be strong and continue to make great contributions to real madrid.
Of course his fans will regret his decision a lot, but if it's a good decision for him everyone has to respect him regardless of the issue with Deschamps which is currently being discussed, I will of course support whatever decision is best for Benzema, he is the best player and he seems to be maybe he wants to focus on playing in the league with real madrid until he retires completely from the world of football

It is a pity to see someone like Benzema already say goodbye to the highest team in the world. France will miss him and the supporters will be sad too. But we have also seen this with Di Maria who announced the same farewell to Argentina. I think Benzema is still at a very high level, and maybe he's better than ever. The question that still remains for me is why he doesn't wait to be able to participate in the European Championship in 1.5 years? Perhaps he will reconsider his decision after all. Could have been a snapshot.
Of course his fans will regret his decision a lot, but if it's a good decision for him everyone has to respect him regardless of the issue with Deschamps which is currently being discussed, I will of course support whatever decision is best for Benzema, he is the best player and he seems to be maybe he wants to focus on playing in the league with real madrid until he retires completely from the world of football If Barcelona can't perform well in the games we will see again, then they will be far behind. Now we have to see how Barcelona performs. Will they be able to stay above all the teams in the points table or will they perform poorly this time? Karone will go backwards. I don't understand anything until I see the game.
Barcelona will host Espanyol on December 31, that will be a game you can expect Barcelona to win. Espanyol's performance is not as good as usual where at this time they only managed to occupy 16th place in the standings in their last 14 matches. So I think it's safe to think Barcelona will be able to maintain their position in the standings in that game.I don't know how Araujo's situation is after his injury and surgery at this time. If he is fit, then of course Barcelona's defense will be stronger in the second half of the season. Kounde and Dembele are likely to be fit after the World Cup final, but maybe it's taking a bit of a toll on him psychologically.
Fans must be patient if they want to see their favorite team rise from adversity. Atletico Madrid have not performed well since the start of the season, which left them far behind Barcelona and Real Madrid.The transfer market must be used by Atletico Madrid to improve the quality of its game. The arrival of new players can help Atletico Madrid get back into the top four. Simeone must change the strategy used so far, he still has time to change everything because the season is still long.
Simeone was very long to be atletico's coach. Simeone needs to be replaced with a new coach that has a fresh strategy. Atletico was always using him and it will always stuck in the same place as people known so well what's gonna be his strategy. I think that atletico must try to pick the hardest thing just like change the current coach. There will be so many new coaches that capable enough to get the new strategy that can change the club to be even better than before. I think that is the main key to change atletico to be even better than before Look at what happened with griezmann. He plays so well in world cup but not in atletico
Is there something wrong with him under simeone now? i don't think so. The performance from atletico madrid decreased a lot since last season.
Barcelona has some players who play very nice games in every match. We have seen that Barcelona is still far ahead of all the teams. And the Barcelona game is going to start in a few days. Barcelona fans are waiting to see how well they can play this time.
Hmmm, that's certainly true and it seems like everyone has been miss for leagues to restart after the World Cup ended.I certainly agree with the quality of Barcelona's current game. Barcelona is doing well in Laliga and they are leading the table. Two points ahead of Real Madrid isn't safe yet, but it's good that they've managed to get it this season.
Barcelona is expected to be able to maintain its performance in the second half of this season. Many difficult matches still await both in Laliga and the Europa League, but I think they will fight to keep leading Laliga with the best quality. Xavi must set great targets this season after they failed to qualify for the Champions League.
