La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

[Harkorede]

Barcelona is well prepared for their upcoming clash with OL. They just won against rayo vallecano by 3-1. Messi and Suarez both scored and both are ready for UCL match.Also Barcelona is gone closer to the laliga title.They have some few games ahead and If they can beat Atletico on next they will surely retain thier LaLiga title.I must say its been a dream year for barcelona fans because they are on CDR final, No 1 on LaLiga and still can win UCL.

I'm an Barcelona fan, but really I'm not sure about our chances of the winning the trophy, I guess we'll see as we get closer into competition, Let's take it one step at a time.

About the Upcoming match against Lyon, I think the team is going to win the match. Playing at home will an added advantage, but still OL shouldn't be underestimated.

I got the desired result, but Atletico really did show that this fight is far from over, and this is as much as I was ready to expect anyway.

Perfect result for me would be to see Real Madrid lose again, but even a draw will keep me satisfied. I'm not even a hater to be honest, but instead it is that much respect I have for Real that I don't feel safe even with a 10 points gap advantage.

Harkorede, didn't know you were Barca as well, good luck to us! I have a strong feeling the final this year will be very exciting, even without Real!

WTF moment in La Liga. Valladolid scored goal and referee decided to make VAR review. But VAR room was empty! After this ''review'' goal was cancelled, Real won match 4:1

In other game Sevilla reached big win against Sociedad 5:2. It was difficult period for Sevilla, there was even news that their manager Machin can be sacked, so this win is very important. Now they can go to second leg game against Slavia in a good mood.

According to La Liga, it was an error from the tv production team. They were showing another VAR room that was used in another game. Still, it was pretty funny lol

About the game. First half was pretty bad for us, Valladolid could've scored a few more goals but they were pretty unlucky. Second half was a lot better, mainly because Valladolid were a completely different than in the first half. Anyways, we can't relax now, Getafe are just 6 pts behind us in 4th place.

In my opinion the match with Lyon will be an easy one for Barca since they dominated last time when they played away but they were unlucky to not score a goal there. This would probably be a 3-0,3-1 match mostly depending on how much they will play strong during the match. You can't compare Barca with Lyon, and only a miracle could make Lyon go further in UCL. As for LaLiga title they already proved they worth it

Lol no way, i think that is just an excuse from La Liga.
Can't believe if that really happened lol, no people on VAR room, i guess the VAR team didn't expect it. I believe it can make a change if valladolid goal accepted.

LOL. This picture should have made it to all the news around the world.
I don't know if this was a mistake from the TV coverage or not, (I don''t think that it was, because the production has all the cameras in front of them before they show something) but it is hilarious. Was the decision not to count the goal correct at least?

It would be become a meme for sure. Just read this news on https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/la-liga/1056818/new-proof-explains-why-the-var-room-was-not-empty-during-real-madrids-game-against-real-valladolid/ and here is the explains "a fault of the cameramen of the broadcasters, who chose to film an unused VAR room instead of the one that was used in the game."

I doubt this is true at all.
Otherwise, why is the VAR team paid? Plus I do follow a lot of sports pages, this would have been the talk of the night up to today.
It's obviously an attempt by someone to discredit the VAR success or probably just a mistake.

This thing was already explained by people above in this thread. It was mistake by TV production team - they showed different VAR room which was used in previous game. Still, it's fun moment. And Spanish press was full of articles about it yesterday.

"The president of Real Madrid will appear today with Zinedine Zidane before the media at 8:00pm (CET) in the press room of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.”

No Ronaldo - No Party!
I don’t think this will make much of a difference, Real need a squad overhaul in the summer of they won’t be winning anything any time soon. All good things come to an end, they need to build again.

The Perez fool better not mess up with the great Coach again but it's quite a relief.
Now they should just do an overhaul on the squad... lots of old tired bones in there who have nothing much to prove anymore.
Youngbloods like the Mbappes should be targets ASAP.


I have been thinking about this thread. OP has been offline for quite a time now. I think next season we should make a new La Liga thread so that things like polls will be up-to-date

Zidane and Ronaldo's departures were made Real Madrid couldn't do too much. As a result, they make a poor performance on a prestigious league and cup. Let's see how Zidane could fix it, and improve the team even without Ronaldo.


Yep, I'd think that is a great suggestion, a new thread with active OP could make the thread 'alive' again.

Rumors say that Eden Hazard is going to move to Madrid in the summer. Personally, I don't think that Chelsea is going to leave him and let him sign a deal with Real (at least not till January 2020) as Chelsea will not be able to cover his position. FIFA has punished Chelsea for Financial fair play and they are not able to make any transfers for two transfer windows.

Good to see that Real Madrid have signed Zinedine Zidane again. It's going to be very interesting to see how Zinedine will bring Real Madrid back to the top in la liga and champions league again.

that's good news, but it's better if Real Madrid can bring CR7 back to the Santiago Bernabéu

The first challenge of Zidane will be Against celta vigo on Saturday.A big match obviously because madrid wants to Secure on top 4 and also if possible they will try to reach on top 2 for playing spanish super cup.Most probably Barcelona will be champion of CDR and LaLiga so no2 of Laliga will play against Barcelona for Spanish super cup.

It's going to be hard for Real Madrid to overthrow Atletico Madrid in 2nd position, Atletico Madrid have been eliminated from the UCL too, so they'll definitely have all the their attentions shifted to La Liga, and they still are in the title race.

Haha, not gonna happen. The club president choose to make profits instead of doing every way possible to keep Ronaldo at Real Madrid, which was a very selfish and arrogant decision IMO. You don't let legends go just like that.

Also, I think Ronaldo felt up appreciated at Real Madrid after all those years... The applause from the Juventus fans after that bicycle kick that led to the goal against them was the final nail to the coffin toward's Ronaldo's departure.

[Harkorede]

Gareth Bale just made it 2 - 0 for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo, and it means Zidane will starting off his second spell at Real with a win.
