Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 5. (Read 549329 times)

Barcelona plays a bit strangely in some situations and loses points more often than it should, and Real and Atletico are much more stable this season, so it turns out that despite the fact that Barcelona seems to be in great shape and is capable of scoring so many goals, they are behind Real.

Real has also improved its game and learned to play with new players in defense, now it seems that they will not miss the opportunity to keep their first place, I do not believe that Atletico will be able to compete with them, and Barcelona is too far away now.

Real Madrid's performance is already in a good place, and at this point, I have already given up on Barcelona getting back to back their previous position in La Liga, although I know that Ancelotti will do everything to make sure the team performance is back. So even when the team was experiencing bad performance, I didn’t really panic like other people.

We already know how experienced the manager is, and we know what he is capable of doing. That is why I was actually expecting Real Madrid to be good again before the season ends, and it happened. We can now see how Real Madrid is coming back.

Exactly, during the start of the season the team was so disconnected, anytime I watched their game, I saw it and I blamed Mbappe for it ignorantly, This wasn't the Madrid that won the Champions League and the league title just last season. I forgot he just joined and needed time to blend with his new team mates. I had to calm down to analyse the team and I found that, apart from the disconnection among the forwards, the defence was bleeding. For now, the attack is good to go but I believe they will still do more. The defence is Madrid's major problem because of injuries.

That's why I once said that Madrid's poor performance at the beginning of the season will not continue like that because I still believe that Ancelotti will try his best to improve Real Madrid's performance, this club already has the best players in it so it's just a matter of adjusting the conditions and now the Real Madrid squad is starting to find chemistry between them so they can optimize their performance to appear consistently, and for Barcelona it seems like they will also experience a temporary decline if their mainstay players recover maybe it will return Barcelona's performance to the same as at the beginning of the season.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid must go through the play-off round first before they can be in the last 16, this is also not an easy thing because it will depend on the opponent they will face. In fact, I still believe that they will be able to advance further in the Champions League, because they have a very good mentality when they are in the Champions League. Not only that, in La Liga they also have a very good situation by being at the top of the standings leading by several points. That could be something that could make them comfortable and it could affect their game.

I expect Real Madrid to keep up his performance until the end of the season because he has worked so hard to win the title, and he can't stop working at the end.  It's also because a lot of teams are going hard now, which will hurt Real Madrid a bit, but I fully expect Real Madrid to pull this off easily and take the title. Real Madrid's next matches are a bit tougher but they will win it. Barcelona is looking at the same path that will hurt Real Madrid and I also feel that Real Madrid will make Barcelona that way. From which Real Madrid will lose themselves and fewer points. Barcelona wouldn't have had a chance if they hadn't played their matches badly because they were going to the top. If they held their own, Real Madrid wouldn't have gone above them.

I already know that it will be an easy win for Real Madrid. I believe that Real Madrid will able to go far in UCL, but Laliga is sure for them to win. Looking at the beginning of the season, and how Madrid started with their current stand on the table, it shows that they are ready to defend the league this season.

True, Ancelotti often received sharp criticism from his fans when Real Madrid experienced a negative trend, but it seems that being at the top of the standings is not enough to satisfy the hearts of Real Madrid fans. Two heavy defeats from Barcelona this season are still clearly etched in the memories of fans.

To be able to regain the full trust of the fans, then besides Real Madrid must continue to top the standings, they must also be able to beat Barcelona in the second round of La Liga, and also in other matches, and the closest possibility, Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet in the fight for the Copa del Rey title, because considering that both teams managed to touch the quarter-finals, and if they continue to advance to the next round, the two teams will meet again in the final. And this could be a momentum for Real Madrid to take revenge on Barcelona this season.

Madrid performed poorly at the start of the season because several key players were injured, making it difficult for Ancelotti to organize a strategy in the defensive area. Slowly, he was able to overcome his team's shortcomings by utilizing the players available in his squad and now Madrid has managed to become the leader in the standings.
While Barcelona have stumbled at the wrong time, overall there are no problems whatsoever with Hansi Flick squad, but they have surprisingly dropped points in their last four games before finally getting a big win over Valencia.

The assertion the person made is actually a thing of the past now, both players have been able to sync properly and are performing at their respective locations right now. It usually happens when a new top player comes into a team and is trying to get a balance, it becomes a bit difficult some times particularly when the players have their own patterns and played in different leagues entirely. But once both players are able to blend perfectly, the collaboration becomes more stronger and penetrating. An example is between Muller and Kane who are both doing wonders in the Bayern Munich team right now.


Indeed, Real Madrid are now more on top of their games unlike earlier this match. The consistency has been more than the past and since the Los Blancos side lost their match against the Barca, in the last Super Cup, they've not spared any club so far with the Los Blancos winning against Celta in a 5 - 2, winning against Las Palmas in a 4 - 1, winning against Salzburg in a 5 - 1, winning against Valladolid in a 0 - 3 and against Brestois in yesterday's champions league. Mbappé scored an hattrick against the Valladolid fixture with an assist from Rodrygo and Bellingham. Rodrygo has also been on fire with the last game they played against the Brestois.

Madrid potential playoff opponents Manchester City are also having a tough time but they are confident after their 3-1 win over Brugge in yesterday match. A review of past club football history shows that Madrid has a high chance of winning. Madrid players who are in great form, are doing their job properly. Although they were a bit messy at the beginning of the season, they have gradually returned to their abilities. I also think they will not win the match easily in the playoff because City is a relatively better team. Manchester City is one of the strongest teams in Europe but their recent performance has been disappointing. Real Madrid has no chance to underestimate the team that is in fourth place in the Premier League.

In my opinion, Mbappe and Vini look good here and I am sure that one day Mbappe and Vinicius will be even better and of course here I see Ancelotti is more focused on relying on all the players to work together well. because of course at Real Madrid there are many star players which will definitely make Ancelotti more focused on building everything. Yes, of course Barcelona was not wrong in bringing in Flick and he can be said to be quite good at coaching Barcelona and Barcelona's game is very good, but unfortunately, Flick has not been able to make Barcelona's performance consistently good and what makes me surprised is that Flick always makes strategies that are not good, such as when playing against other teams. weak which ultimately prevented Barcelona from getting full points and this was Flick's weakness. but for now, Flick is starting to get better at making strategies and now it is clear that Barcelona's strength is starting to show extraordinary progress.

The strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona can indeed be said to be equal and it is possible that one day there will be tight competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for the title. And of course the problem that Barcelona and Real Madrid have is that they cannot be consistent in their performance. Yes, of course we won't know what their strengths will be like in the future. Maybe by watching the next 2 or 3 matches we will see whether Flick and Ancelotti can improve their consistency or not. I think I can't wait to see their next match.

Real Madrid's current performance is indeed different from their performance at the start of the season. Because as we know at the start of the season Real Madrid performed less than optimally, because at that time perhaps Real Madrid was in the adaptation stage with its new player Mbappe. But now that Mbappe has started to adapt well at Real Madrid, Real Madrid's epic performance is slowly returning. This is proven by the results of matches which Real Madrid is always able to win. Because in the last few matches, Real Madrid has managed to sweep all their matches clean with wins. So with this in mind, it is not surprising that currently Real Madrid has managed to become top of the standings again in Laliga. Because Real Madrid is always able to get out of its downturn more quickly than other teams.


Apart from that, in the UCL, Real Madrid's performance has also improved at this time. In last night's match, Real Madrid also managed to win the match over Brest with a fairly landslide score of 3-0. In that match, Rodrygo was able to score 2 goals and Bellingham managed to score 1 goal. So with this victory, Real Madrid's position in the UCL is now in 11th place. Even though with its current position, Real Madrid cannot qualify directly for the round of 16. But I am sure for Real Madrid it will not be difficult to get through the play-off round and can also qualify for the round of 16. So with this in mind, we'll just have to wait and see who Real Madrid will face in the play-off round. Because until now I don't know who Real Madrid will face.

Yes Real Madrid is at the top of the standings in La Liga now, they have 4 different points from Atletico and 7 different points from Barcelona. It means they have started to be consistent. Indeed at the beginning, Mbappe and Vini are not compact and maybe a bit selfish with each other, but Anceloti has know how to manage player like this, so that he separated them, and play them in different matches. Yes I consider this is the best performance for real Madrid, and bad performance for Barcelona because they were defeated instead position from Atletico. Actually who are not inconsistent for this session is Barcelona, not Real Madrid.

The big teams will be playing against relatively weaker teams so the big teams will definitely want to get full points in these matches. If it is the case that a weaker opponent is playing but a major team is failing to win against that weaker opponent, then they will be far behind in the competition. Especially Barcelona should not lose points in any match because they are behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in terms of points. They have to secure big wins in every match and wait for Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid to drop a point or draw a match to give them a chance to reduce the points gap. Barcelona looked to be the favorites in La La Liga early due to Real Madrid being out of form but as Real Madrid returned to consistent performance it is now a concern for Barcelona.

I agree with you Adbitco that it only take someone that have not watched Real Madrid matches recently to hold such opinion. Now I think they have gotten a perfect blend that will push the team to their target this season. It was in the beginning of the season that there was obvious disconnect among the players and they were playing individual football and not as a team, probably due to the new players that were added to the team. I will like to appreciate Ancelotti for doing a great job in transforming the team into what we now have that is as coordinated as ever. Beating Real Madrid now is not going to be easy because they now have what it takes to fight any team.

If Real Madrid perform consistently then they can maintain their position in the standings until the end of the season although it is a little more difficult. The next two matches in La Liga Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu so Real Madrid must win the match if they want to stay in first place in the standings. Barcelona can take advantage when the two meet because if the match ends in a draw it will open the way for Barcelona to catch up on points from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Yes, Mbappe wasted lots of goals initially, but the question is, how many players goes to a new team and blends just immediately also not forgetting the fact that they already have a beat player in that team? How many players blends immediately? Even as great as Messi was, he couldn't blend even after 2 years of joining a new team. It's now half of the season and the guy is currently blending to his new team and league. I salute Ancelotti for giving Mbappe time, because I was also among the people that criticised him initially but Ancelotti always knows how to bring out the beat from someone. Ancelotti brushed Vini to what he is today despite critics from fans and players on Vini was he was signed. If you followed the clubs, you would know this.

In principle, this could be a ticking time bomb that could undermine the psychological climate in the team, knowing the character and ambitions of both Vinicius Junior and Mbappe. However, so far they seem to be getting along quite well in the team, but for some reason I am sure that there will still be friction, because I do not think that Vinicius has given up his dreams of winning the golden ball, and Mbappe came to the club just to strengthen his international weight in the eyes of fans and experts. I just remembered Neymar's recent revelations that Mbappe then reacted with some jealousy to Messi's arrival at PSG. The irony of fate is that Mbappe himself is now in a similar situation at Real Madrid.

Very funny, Bellingham is a midfielder so his sole duty is to open up spaces and provide assists for the forwards. Now the question is, how many contributions has Mbappe Vs Vini got Vs Rodrygo Vs Mbappe if you claim Rodrygo links with Mbappe Vs Vini Vs Mbappe?? Do you also consider the fact that Mbappe plays from the left wing same as Vin, so Mbappe has to play center so long as Vini is there? Have you thought of that??

You talked about formidable opponents, do you really watch Madrid games? When Madrid plays how many natural defenders do you see in the Madrid back line when they play? Do you realise since last season Madrid has not played a game with their full backline?? So how exactly do you expect them to defend completely with a team that has a dangerous forward and a good midfield too? Less you forget will beat these teams when they need to just last they did just season.
