La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ingiltere]

Barcelona should get Edison Cavani as the replacement for Kun Aguero.
Aubameyang is a good option,but has lost his touch,has good pace which could be very vital against defense.
Xavi will get the team in a good shape, I am certain Barcelona will be in the first four soon.
An upgrade in the defense would do.

Cavani would be a great addition for 1.5 years. He doesn't want big salary and he still has ability to score goals. Agüero was a big loss to all football fans but health comes first. Aubameyang must be expensive so Barca's first target is Cavani logically.
If they sell Umtiti, Coutinho and Dest they can make a space for Cavani and if possible, Ferran Torres. That would be the biggest transfer they can do.

Barcelona certainly has some value in his team. Not enough to get out of debt, but to keep these players and pay an expensive salary does not seem an option to me either. In addition, players' contracts expire on their own, I don't think they like to renew from a sporting point of view. And Barcelona can no longer pay that salary.

^ You know, Umiti, Coutinho, and Dest Barcelona are of no use to the team. I can say, Coutinho was a very talented player. But he could not adapt to the Barcelona team for a reason. At the same time, although Dembele is skilled enough, but he is not able to perform well.
Barcelona should be affordable. Unnecessary players should be put on the bench and sold without paying wages.

[Sterbens]

People (including me) started getting curious about which players Barcelona will go after in this January transfer window. I believe that their priority should be signing a solid striker. Because Aguero has retired and there is no very strong striker in the team now. Depay is not a natural striker and Braithwaite has been injured for a very long time. Even if he bounces back soon, they can't make do with only him in the end. It looks like the biggest target is Aubameyang now. He would make a very good contribution to the team so I hope that they can end this deal successfully.

Maybe, and even then if Barcelona's finances improve at the beginning of the year. Because as we know, the transfer window next season will be an obstacle for Barcelona who wants to bring in solid players. They have not recovered from the financial crisis that hit. That's why many don't expect too much, only having brought in Ferran Torres, he has done everything he can. Moreover, Xavi did not want to bother with the players they made it to be, they were only required to last longer if they did not want to be eliminated faster.

Barcelona was in a terrible state before tht arrival of Xavi. And he is just trying his possible best to put Barca back on track. But, what people don't understand is that this will take some time. Atletico Madrid performance are poor, they lost all their last 4 matches, and one of the problem Atletico seems to have is are defense. However, If Barcelona play their next matches without losing, they will surely take over Atletico Madrid's place.

Maybe in the short term it's difficult. Relying on players from the academy could not guarantee they would be successful. There are a lot of problems at Barcelona so this has an impact on their achievements.
Maybe if for the long term they can be successful again. Attempts to sign Xavi also can not be hopeful, because he is limited by the crisis to choose new players. Xavi is currently only maximizing what Barcelona have.

Xavi was a celebrity as a player at Barcelona. Then definitely one of the best midfielders in the world along with Iniesta on that team. Doesn't he just have too little coaching experience? Easy to say, but an experienced coach will not be happy to manage Barcelona at the moment. Xavi seems to be the best option at the moment. They do have potential, but all the puzzle pieces have to fit together well with these players.

[ReiMomo]

A Madrid and R Sociedad are not performing well now a days. Each lost 4 matches out of 5 matches. If you look at Valencia who is at 8th place, has been really performing well and has own 3 matches and drawn 2 matches in the recent matches which should be looked up on. Valencia has a lot chances to just jump up to 5th or 4th place if they keep the current performance.

update cavani won't be Barcelona priority in the transfer window https://www.football-espana.net/2021/12/24/barcelona-edinson-cavani-decision-transfer Cavani is a player capable enough to lead Barcelona to more wins ,but Cavani currently still has six months left on Manchester United contract ! Cavani is also often tendon injury so it's likely that Cavani won't be a top priority for Barcelona

[skarais]

Next week matchday 19 where all team playing on 2nd January I think Barcelona have great chance against with Mallorca and Atletico Madrid faced with under dog team Rayo Vallecano. Exactly Barcelona should easy get three points although playing as away on Mallorca but still not consistent performance show by Barcelona right now give us little doubt will this team back top performance and pass on champion standing position? although left many match we can't have bigger expectation with Barcelona become success team with financial crisis.

I think Barcelona played well with Xavi, it's just that they are still struggling to win match because of the lack of goalscorers and poor finishing. This is actually a problem that Xavi had to solve immediately during the winter transfer as they needed a striker who was able to score goals consistently. So far Xavi has lost Ansu Fati and Depay in attacking positions so he will have to try more often with the likes of Ezzalzouli and Jutlga. Both players played well and were also able to score goals, but their lack of experience made it quite difficult for them to find their best performance.

Even though Mallorca are currently ranked 15th in the Laliga standings, it doesn't look like they are easy opponents to beat by Barcelona in the match which will take place on 3 January. I agree if you think it's a good opportunity to see Barcelona win, but it's definitely not as easy as we thought.

[fullhdpixel]

Xavi coming to Barcelona with bad condition financial where on January window transfer he only only has option get Ferran Torres as new player, he has bigger decision before get agreement with Barcelona but at the end he still not get new player in window transfer. I think he has not any expectation with Barcelona can get trophy in this years how ever Champion league miss out from Barcelona after failed in group stage and now just La Liga as chance to get trophy but looks hard with left many points from Real Madrid. Beside financial crisis Barcelona will hard to get competitive with Madrid or Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.

I am not sure he came with the idea to build a whole roster, I think Xavi always liked to build a whole system before he cared about the players he has. He did something similar when he went to Al-Sadd as well, dude built a whole system. It is not weird, it is the classic tiki-taka style that he played for so long and he just wants Barcelona to go back to those days.

The players he has is enough, most players are enough, sure you can't have horrible players, but the roster is not horrible anyway, they are quite decent, they do not deserve to be where they are at the very least. All he needs is time to get the players practice the tiki-taka he wants them to play, and in a heavy schedule during a covid period it is hard to find time to train the players. This is his problem right now, with more time given to him and with more training they will be better.

I recently saw an article that said that I saw that they would not sign this player because Xavi felt that the arrival of Ferran Torres was enough and there was no need for Cavani to replace him there.
Actually, I think this is quite reasonable because Ansu Fati's condition has slowly worsened and Martin has also begun to slowly recover from his injury, so adding Cavani there will only increase spending money and make strikers in Barcelona more and more and the competition becomes tougher for starting line up

[naira]

It's too early to say Barcelona are the losers. I like them and believe that Barcelona can get through this critical period with full of struggle. Ferran Torres is a quality player and will certainly make significant changes, as long as he can adapt quickly at Barcelona. I don't blame you if you don't like Barcelona, but we'll see at the end of the league. Barcelona still has a long way to go so things could change at any moment. Remembering Real Sociedad who had taken the lead, eventually slowly declined and sank.

Don't be angry, Barcelona are not losers but this team is trying to get back on track. It's natural for them to think like that because in fact they are not Barcelona fans. I don't think all the criticism and ridicule on this forum will affect Barcelona, ​​so take it easy.  

If you watched Barcelona's last game then you seem convinced that their game performance has improved. Dembele will get better with some changes that his coach expects, he is capable of attacking and shooting and that is good for the team and his mentality. I would say Barcelona won't win the title this season because it's really difficult, only a miracle maybe can take them to the top of the table this season although things can still change as it's only the middle of the season.

I'm not angry, this is just a reflex expression. You are right, it will not affect anything for Barcelona, moreover, I understand how Barcelona is trying to get back up. Even though everyone says it's difficult, but based on what we've seen. Everything can still change, even though they don't win in La Liga, Barcelona only needs to reach the top 5. For me, if Barcelona can be in the top 5 it doesn't matter. A struggle must be in accordance with what it does.

It seems to have to be patient for the fans of La Liga, this weekend there are no matches. There are no big games, but tomorrow Madrid go to Getafe's home on January 2. Should Madrid win easily, Getafe are bottom of the table in the sixteenth. Madrid should still be serious about this match because three points are absolutely very important to keep their distance. Getafe have a record of not losing over the last 5 matches. So madrid should be wary.

[coderben]

Real Madrid and Sevilla. These two teams are the biggest candidates to be able to reach the La Liga championship at the end of the season. And Real Madrid have a much bigger opportunity ahead of them rather than Sevilla. As Sevilla wasted an opportunity to close the gap a little more with Real Madrid the last time, Real Madrid are still at a safe condition in the standings. But they would most probably have a hard time keeping their incredible form until the end. Sevilla's task is to benefit from probable point losses for Real Madrid.

I feel that there will only be Real Madrid in the future that will continue to shoot.
even though sevilla are quite good this season but if you look at the past few seasons they always stumble when the league has reached the middle.
after the holidays, real madrid will face a league which is certainly easier than sevilla because indeed sevilla will be faced with valencia which is not an easy enough opponent to pass

Madrid still has a chance of victory even though they have to fight Getafe who have not lost in 5 matches. Real Madrid's concern is when they have to be ready to defend their position throughout the La Liga season. From Bilbao Madrid are only able to lead by 2 points, especially with Cadiz it does not create a goal at all. Here we will certainly hope that Real Madrid must be able to outperform the game and not let the score be stolen.

[jakdanyel]

Rayo Vallecano are another team that are making everyone surprised in this season so far. Because they are the fourth-placed team in the standings right now. Especially by Radamel Falcao's joining the team, they started becoming much more effective in attacking and scoring. And Falcao scored 5 goals in 10 La Liga matches so far. But he is still facing injury problems as usual also. But he is always a big forward player and I hope to see him contributing much more than this during the rest of the season.

Even though Barca have looked inconsistent this season, if Mallorca is the next opponent then victory is the most likely thing in my opinion.
Barca are starting to find form with Xavi as their new coach this season. I'm not completely sure that Xavi can't bring any changes to his team because so far I can see that Barca are starting to make things difficult for their opponents in the league. Of course that's good, but the difficulty of scoring goals and winning match is a problem that still exists today.

Maybe the barca players just feel on the same page as Xavi, unlike Koeman, maybe that's the reason. Or maybe Xavi is really much better than him as a coach, time will tell I think, there's no point in just talking about it. Let's see how they do at the end of the season and where they stand in the table, so far so sad, Barcelona haven't been this low in a long time

Judging by the fact that a few months ago Barcelona refused to refinance its debt, they have some financial considerations (one can assume that they are positive). My high hopes are connected with the fact that the start of the Super League will be announced, and in this case, Barcelona will very quickly solve all its financial problems.

Impossible super league get allowed from UEFA where most hate competition, I think all club need get much money and waiting how UEFA transparent about how much money getting from advertisement and broadcast. The UEFA afraid if super league really happen and have other side advertisement will pay higher than club getting from Champion league, not only Barcelona but also all club will get much benefit if super league allowed and have allocation much money for team participants where get impact with covid 19 and they faced financial crisis.

The organizers do not need UEFA approval for the Super League to take place. The courts have already been won and now UEFA will not be able to apply sanctions to clubs and players who will participate in the Super League. This would be a violation of competition and an abuse of monopoly position. So I hope big business will take over European football (namely international club competition) and the corrupt officials from UEFA will have a smaller share of the pie.
