La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

[azguard]

Yeah, after watching a couple of Real preseason games, I think Zidane isn't a bad manager/coach after all.  I thought he was somewhat of a joke when I first heard he was gonna be managing the club.  I like his style and to some extent he takes Klopp's 'heavy metal' football to a bit of higher intensity. Looking forward to watch their matches every weekend.

He has proven himself last season by winning the champions league. Winning champions league is a big deal for real madrid, as long as they win the champions league the other trophy wont matter to them anymore. Their preseason match was only mock up match and that doesnt really prove anything at all

in addition to winning the Champions League trophy, zidane able to win El Clasico duel the first time after she became manager of Real Madrid, and it won when playing at home Barcelona. quite interesting to look next El Clasico.

not just that i believe that season will bring lot more exciting matches hot just el clasico
RM barca and ATM are eager to win liga and champion league this season so this will be interesting to watch all the way

Zidane this year will have to show everyone his true value as a coach. The season is long and we will have to see what he will do in difficult moments. Last season was luckier than good in winning the champion 's leaague. Then surely it is encouraged in his work because he has so many top players !

Zidane as a player showed his great hand. But he became a coach recently. Let's see how he will cope.

i have just seen the news that currently Atletico Madrid is the most teams who spend a lot money for buying players
a bit surprised because i'm not see Real Madrid or Barcelona do that and looks like Diego Simeone has very want more trophy this season

[lexuz]

The Barcelona fans are going yo say Barcelona and the Real Madrid fans are going to say Real Madrid.
We do not know who is going to win it because it can go to both teams.

Those fans are biased therefore if you really want to know who is going to win then ask opinion from a non biased fans. Im neither of those team's fans and I do think that real madrid is going to win this season, zidane was great last season despite that he was only managing the team for only a few months

I agree, zidane able to make major changes to real madrid. when zidane only train for 6 months, and zidane managed to get a first Champions League trophy as a coach.

Overall by seeing preseason games we can't assess zidane have poor performance at least he has give real madrid a trophy last year even though in my eyes that's pure just a lucky.

It's not all luck.  Real has the quality, they were motivated and they worked hard.  You know what's pure luck?  Leicester winning the EPL trophy.  We will not see them win another EPL trophy in another 30 - 40 years or so.  In Real's case, they are still contenders to win La Liga and the CL.

to bring in expensive players does not necessarily Atletico could have easily for a league title. they have to fight and work together in every match in the Spanish league.

If you think the pure luck by telling about leicester winning the EPL last year, so sorry i can't agree. in premier league more hard than spanish league so what leicester get it's because they have a quality to be the winner.

they was not spending money for buying the most expensive players but they buying more players than Barcelona and Real Madrid and maybe the main reason that because Simeone want spanish league trophy and want to broke dominated for Barcelona and Madrid in the league because Atletico could be a tough opponent to them

The reason why Barca and Real have not splashed money this summer is because they were ordered by the Spanish government to repay all the money they owe in the form of "soft loans, tax breaks and property deals from the government over the past 26 years."

Now we know why these "giants" are so good at inflating the transfer market.  They've been using the people's money to fund their football clubs.

 Spanish authorities have been ordered to reclaim millions of pounds given to Real Madrid and Barcelona in state support.

The La Liga juggernauts are among the teams said to have benefited from soft loans, tax breaks and property deals from the government over the past 26 years.

Margrethe Vestager, the EU competition commissioner, demanded the beginning of repayments on Monday.

"Using taxpayers' money to finance professional football clubs can create unfair competition," Vestager said in a statement.

"Professional football is a commercial activity with significant money involved and public money must comply with fair competition rules."

The government are biased, they got money from both clubs as well. Those two club are the ones that made spanish league into one of the best league currently and they attract alot of tourist because of that. They got benefit from it and now they are going milk every pounds that they once gave to them

It's a shame for Atletico that they lost in 2 recent CL Finals. It's almost like they're just not supposed to win it.

That just shows how good they are, not every team can get into the finals of champions league easily so they should be appreciated. Compare to the other team, they are still actually below the others like barcelona and real madrid however they managed to made it to the finals and beat barcelona last season

They are so close but just not there yet. It is in fingers reach to get a cup. Just need that extra incentive to get it that's all. An offensive start player to fill that gap that they desperately need is the only answer to their question of becoming a finals cup winner!

their players should belleive and stay focus in the hole match as they tend do lose in their last minutes of the game its unforrtunate for them especialy when they beaten the last championsleague winer twice in the semifinals but their luck go against them when they face Real Madrid

atletico madrid always less fortunate as against real madrid. when the Champions League final 2014, atletico madrid should be a champion, if they are not careless at one minute before the end of the game. whereas when in the league, atletico madrid able to beat Real Madrid in their own homes.

Yes it seems that Atletico does not have the last minute luck in their matches because they don't have a lucky rabbit's foot that Real Madrid seems to have playing on there team. And we all know who that lucky one is.
Him and his team winning the Euro's only showed to solidified this theory.

Luck is of course part of the football game, every team has its own luck. ZIdane has his luck by winning the champions league and winning el clasico in few weeks after his debut, you can call that as a skill or whatever you want but it is part of the luck somehow , it helps the team win no matter what you think of it
