Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 475. (Read 542181 times)

Barcelona seems to be back to their feet once again and I hope Hansi Flick can maintain the current tempo at which they are performing at the league level also at in the Champions league tournament for the rest of the season, so that the competition between the duo can be reinstalled while we hope Girona also step up their games this season too. Last season was the season of the Real Madrid as they topped the table in the league and still went ahead to take the trophy at the Champions league tournament. I am pretty sure Barcelona is back on their feet to match them toe to toe this season.


It was funny to find Ancelotti saying this after successfully beating the Real Sociedad side with 2 goals at the fixture yesterday. On one side, I see this statement as a challenge on the opposition club to work hard while on the other hand I see it as a way encouraging himself and his club to work harder next time. It was obvious that the Real Madrid defense was loose and quite porous yesterday but it is at the same unfortunate that the Real Sociedad side couldnt make a goal out of it.

One thing that I noticed in Real Madrid is that they are not just a big and rich club, they are also a club with good luck. There are so many of their matches that luck do play a major role for them to win the matches.

Yesterday match against Sociedad was a lucky one for them and that was why Sociedad was unable to break the deadlock and equalize the goals because most of their shots on target hits the goal post and none could slightly enter the goal post. Real Madrid needs to work on themselves if they really want to win this league.

Flick should make sure that Barcelona does not slow down and continues to keep a comfortable distance from Real, and for this they need to beat Girona today. I saw that Michel can lead some team from the Premier League, I am almost sure that now these are just rumors, but if he has some proposals that he is thinking about, then this can affect the results of the team, especially if it is discussed in the team. I think that Barcelona is now strong enough to beat Girona.

Vini is in a position that must be wise in the Real Madrid squad. In the past, Vini had to play a role as a service to Benzema so that his name soared even though he was not the top scorer. This season, since Kylan Mbappe arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu, Vini also had to play a role when he was still playing with Benzema.

Rumors about Vinicius when Kylan Mbappe was not 100% successful in being recruited by Real Madrid have been circulating. As far as I remember, there was speculation that the duet between Vinicius and Mbappe would not go well, but from yesterday's victory, Vini and Mbappe shared in taking penalty kicks.
I think, both of them will be harmonious and rumors of plans to sell Vinicius can be denied.

What matter is the three points but sincerely speaking, the performance was very terrible and not convincing enough. It's hard to believe that Madrid survived with penalty against real Sociedad. I don't want to sound rude but they played total rubbish. Let forget about the goals and three points to face the reality. The midfielders are not even helping issues but losing possession and causing more pressure for the defenders. Their pattern of playing is now calling for concern because it is not justifiable to have the firearms and be having inconvincing victories.

I don't know if international break affect them but even the physical looks were not encouraging and was below the rival players. Real Sociedad were just unlucky for not taking the whole points or have a draw at least but they were the better side. I just hope they improve and turn things around before it gets late.

Right, considering that last season Barcelona was defeated by Girona both away and home. In fact, Barca conceded 8 goals in two matches last season. In a few moments, this match will start, where Hansi Flick's team has a record of several players who are injured. Based on the source that I refer to, Olmo's status is in doubt, he could not be played or will not be the main starter. If so, it seems that Flick will implement a single striker with a 4-2-3-1 pattern. But if Olmo is played, I am sure Flick will implement a 4-3-3 pattern. In the Girona camp, they started their two matches very well, getting full points over Sevilla and Osasuna. I am not sure if Michel will implement an open game pattern, because Barcelona in Flick's hands is very different from the Xavi era. As a Barca supporter, I really support them to win this match, my estimate is the final result 3-1 for Barcelona.

Congratulations on a successful bet, but yes, if Sociedad had been a little luckier the result could have been completely different.
According to rumors, Real Madrid are planning to sell Vinny if he and Mbappe "can't fit" together on the pitch. I haven't seen any problems between them before, but now Vinny probably has an increased motivation to make things go well.

Ancelotti says that they didn't deserve to win against Real Sociedad yesterday. I'll give him that about it. They really didn't play well at all. There is just no need to think emotionally just because of being a fan of Real Madrid right?    Their defending was horrible. If I remember correctly, Real Sociedad had 3 shots hitting the post. What an unlucky day for them...

This game could have ended really badly for Real Madrid as a result. Ancelotti should focus on defending stronger.

It was nice to see Arda Güler winning a penalty for his team too. 

Personally, I also see that Real Madrid's performance is less than impressive because with the many star players at Real Madrid they should be able to score a lot of goals and not only from penalty kicks, but it is true that even so, we deserve to congratulate Real Madrid for fighting. maximum in that match and of course the opponent that Real Madrid faced showed good strength, making it difficult for Real Madrid to score a goal against Real Sociedad.

but of course I am also impressed with Real Sociedad because they were able to make good attacks and beat Real Madrid's defense well but unfortunately Real Sociedad were not able to take advantage of the opportunities well and I saw several times the balls kicked by Real Sociedad players hit the goal post and of course this was very annoying. darling. In my opinion, in this match we will of course see that Real Sociedad's strength is extraordinary and of course in Laliga this season Real Sociedad will definitely be respected by all the teams in Laliga because they can make it difficult for Real Madrid to score goals except for penalty kicks. yes, now of course Barcelona is leading the standings and of course Real Madrid must consistently win if they want to become champions again and of course we'll see how Real Madrid looks when competing with Barcelona, ​​whether Barcelona or Real Madrid will win, but what is clear is that both teams have great potential to compete until the end of the season.

If you look at the Real Madrid match, of course recently we have seen that Mbappe and Vinicius are very close and they respect each other as fellow star players and of course this is good because they are not selfish and that is what is expected and necessary for a team because with This will certainly make the team potentially better.

It's true that Mbappe looks like he's really enjoying himself at Real Madrid and the look on his face clearly shows that he is currently happy and that his childhood dream has definitely come true. and it's true that many Real Madrid fans like him and he really deserves to be liked because of his great game.

Having a super star in your squad is a big thing to feel excited and after some disappointed matches, eventually Mbappe scored goals for Real Madrid in La Liga. With these goals, if we forgot about his disappointed matches, now Mbappe has 3 goals for Real Madrid in La Liga and is only one goal less than the best scorer in La Liga, Lewandowski.

Spanish LALIGA Scoring Stats - 2024-25

It's interesting to see Mbappe debuts his career in Real Madrid with #9 like Cristiano Ronaldo years ago. We knew Cristiano Ronald became a best scorer in Real Madrid history and with scoring ability of Mbappe, we can expect him to break that record if he stays there next 10 seasons.

Barcelona at least are doing great and creating their own chance to win La Liga this season, if they can maintain such excellent performances in rest of season. Real Madrid are coming back and will bring more pressure to Barcelona and they certainly will challenge Barcelona for a league title. We can not forget Atletico Madrid in La Liga because last 20 years, they are one of very few clubs in La Liga successfully took the league title from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

We just had a few games in La Liga and that's not enough to say if Barcelona got a better team than Real Madrid because they are the first place in the League. We know Barcelona was performing well with Flicvk and maybe he was the one for Barcelona to save this team but still, there is a long way ahead for both teams in the next games and there is a higher chance for Real Madrid to take the first place of the table back from Barcelona considering he players the hired during the summer.
 

For Real Sociedad to perform the way they did explains that they are not a team to be underestimated because we can see how they hold real Madrid to a draw on the first half with the kind of squad real Madrid have, so actually even if Real Sociedad  lose the match but there efforts was recognized because they was so good that if not for those two penalty real Madrid had they would have not win Real Sociedad because they struggle so much to score but there was no opportunity to penetrate well but the penalty paved way for them, Vinicius Junior, K. Mbappé and L. Modrić is the major strength of real Madrid and the three of them was the reason real of Madrid success yesterday against real Sociedad.

Girona has been playing well in recent games, but Barcelona has been playing exceptionally in recent games. Hansi Flick gives confidence to the team. That's why I think Barcelona will be close to victory. I don't think the point gap between them and Real Madrid is completely realistic. Real Madrid should be better in the upcoming games. If they lose one more point and Barcelona win their upcoming games, this gap may not close until the end of the league. Because Barcelona players are currently united and motivated.

Real Madrid was just lucky, they would have lost points in this game. Three shots from Real Sociedad hit the crossbar. If those balls entered the net, Madrid would have found it difficult to win the game. The second penalty wasn't clear, so I think the officials favoured Madrid.

Football fans expected so much from Mbappe, maybe we are expecting him to score in every game. The striker needs time to get used to the La Liga. Scoring penalties is not as easy as you think. It needs confidence and tact, so he should be credited for scoring wonderful three goals in three games.

Frankly, I didn't like Real Madrid against Real Sociedad. If Real Sociedad had been a little bit lucky, they would have won the match. Three of their balls hit the post. This was a big misfortune for them. If all three of them had scored, they would have won the match 3-2. But unfortunately, all three balls hit the post. Real Madrid needs to play better in the Champions League matches. Because there are stronger teams there. In yesterday's match, the opponent couldn't convert those chances into goals, but in the Champions League, opponents don't forgive such chances.

Real Sociedad played well but luck was not on their side. They played shots towards the goal but it bounced from the goal bar. Finally they conceded two goals via penalty shootout. If Real Madrid couldn't scored two goals on penalties, the result of this match could have ended with a draw. However, Mbappe of Real Madrid is in good form now. After joining the club, when he kept 3 clean sheets in a row, the pressure on him increased but now he has been able to fully adapt himself to the team. Their gap with Barcelona is not much at the moment but with only 1 point less, Real Madrid is in 2nd position of the points table. But Barcelona can widen the gap again when they win against Girona today. Win is not guaranteed but the chance is high.

La Liga becoming unpredictable in the last few weeks and I must say, it's huge tense momentum for everyone. A draw was deserved for Sociedad but denied by Madrid because winning was priority. Real Sociedad was hard knot to crack for Real Madrid following their defensive tactics but didn't go through. Real Madrid stepping up on their game because they're weigh back compared to their outstanding performance last season. Taking closer watch to performance against oppositions, weaknesses in the squad is spotted and mostly in the attacking line and defendlines. The coach should focused more on exploring options for the betterment of the club.

A bad game, good score. I have nothing to complain about Real Madrid's results in this game. They scored two goals from two penalties. But i have a lot to complain about their performance. They played so awfully in this game. That is also the worst performance i have ever seen. They were unable to score from open play.

There is a serious disconnect in the buildup. This is because our midfield disappeared after we lost Kroos. I knew losing Kroos would hurt us. He was our general on the pitch. But I never expected it to be worse than I had predicted. Our mid is getting exposed without Kroos. We miss it all, the build-up, tempo, and line-breaking passes. And everything that came from Kroos.

I'm very pessimistic we can get same result as last season.

Real Madrid's game change and improvement has led them to win brilliantly against Real Sociedad. However, it has to be admitted that Mbappé and Vinicius both put in outstanding performances in this match as their attacking duo won Real Madrid. Yes I watched the game though and in this match real society attacked a lot in the beginning, but Real Madrid's goalkeeper made a great save which prevented the team from scoring. Anyway, I think Real Madrid's game has changed, and they are back in strong form, and they can be expected to show magic in every game from now on. And since Real Madrid is currently in a good position in the points table, they will definitely work harder to occupy the top position.

Real Madrid were very lucky several times that Real Sociedad couldn't score, the crossbar saved the team, and several good saves from Courtois. Yes, Mbappe scored several goals, but what's the point if these goals are mostly from penalties, he still scores very little from play. And to win with the help of the referee who appoints two penalties is not a victory in the game, but rather a victory with the help of the referee, Sociedad played no worse and they deserved a draw in this match.
