La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Luka Jovic said he didn't understand the orders of mandatory self-isolation by the Serbian government. Yeah I guess it's very difficult to understand that you are not allowed to leave your home. One might easily mistaken that as a suggestion to go out and party as much as possible. It's a very thin line. 

Jovic previously issued a statement blaming the authorities which he considered did not provide an adequate explanation related to the rules of self-isolation.  But the player then corrected his statement after violating the isolation rules in his country which lasted 28 days, in contrast to other countries in general that apply isolation for 14 days.

It seems the time for Sergio Ramos in Bernabeu is very shortly and he will soon be kicked out of the Real Madrid. The club has a very bad traditional recognition for their legendaries, from Raul Gonzalez, Iker Cassilas (they are all Real Madrid's home-grown legendaries). Now, Ramos is not a home-grown player like them. They bought him from Sevilla and I don't deny all great things Ramos contributed to the club but we have to see the squad without him soon.

The current target of Real Madrid, accoriding to news, is Skriniar, from Inter Milan. He is a good defender.

I just saw the POLL, should'nt this be edited? Another option needs to be added, since there is a huge chance that the current season will be canceled.

I am pretty sure, this would be how the real POLL would look like.

Question:   2019/2020 La Liga Champion will be
Barcelona   - 43 (51.8%)
Real Madrid   - 33 (39.8%)
Atletico Madrid   - 2 (2.4%)
Sevilla   - 1 (1.2%)
Valencia   - 2 (2.4%)
Other   - 2 (2.4%)
Coronavirus - 999 (99,99%)
Total Voters: 83

What an idiot.

This is actually the best way to explain his actions.

Jovic just lied in order not to be blamed as irresponsible for breaking the self isolation rule.
It is not that hard to stay at home for as much as the government claims.
He just didn't expect to get caught breaking the quarantine.

Hmm trust me, ordinary solo people living in small houses or apartments without gardens cannot support staying at home 24h for 14 days at least, even with video games, TV, Internet...after 2-3 days you will be pissed off and start to have depressing mood 
Having family will make you support maybe a week before being depressed.
Rich people with bigger houses, gardens, pool, gym and other staff could resist if they have other individuals with them or else they will break quarantine like anyone else

Nah, we are not there yet. Situation doesn't look good but I still believe we will finish all the leagues with ~2 months delay. EURO is rescheduled for next year so there is a bit extra time for the leagues to finish. Even if the season is over there is still a big chance that Barca would be a champion instead of the whole season scraped.

It's true that Real didn't show respect to their legends Raul and Cassilas, but I'm not sure that same thing will happen with Ramos. I think it's not worth to pay much attention to such news these days. When there is no sports, media simply don't have what to write about, but the have to fill their websites somehow.

Spain is one of the most affected countries, so I'm not sure about future of this season. There is some predictions that pandemy can continue much longer. And even if season will resume, I'm not sure how players will be ready to play. They've been without training for long time, it means that risk of injuries will be big.

I am not able to get the article but the La Liga President said that even if the situation got awful... They wouldn't just give Barcelona the trophy so it not something assured that Barca will be Champions this season.

[slaman29]

Anyone happy with the results of the last virtual La Liga tournament? Asensio won the La Liga FIFA tournament already, that was quite fun and there was even a charity donation to coronavirus as a result. They might as well do round 2 or 3, or even maybe try do a UEFA champs league with other guys;)

If the season has to be canceled then i am sure no team currently leading the standings will get the title including Barcelona.

Looking at the current situation, I feel there is little chance that this season can continue. Pandemics look terrible and anyone must always be careful so we can avoid Covid-19. The world government continues to strive to minimize the number of Covid-19 infections and to cancel sporting events can also be a widespread prevention effort in the near future.

The difference is only 2 points with Real Madrid so I don't think Barcelona will get the title if the points are very thin I think the delay will be longer after I see the more and more the infection increases.

This is happening all over the world so the soccer leaders will reconsider the competition to start, if things have started to improve then in a match it must be completely sterile in its state.

Spain reported 500+ deaths from COVID-15 during the last 24 hours.
Considering the fact that this is just the start, i am thinking that the La Liga is going to be canceled. We are not going to see any positive news from that till May.

The situation just keeps getting worse and worse. Given the current state at which the virus is spreading without showing any chance of slowing down in most Nations. I think it will be so many months before things return to normal which is something sad even to the footballing world. What the football governing boards will have to decide will be a very hard task/decision for them.

That depends on how much nations will lock everything and people will be diligent but yes the optimistic is July.

Liga as Serie A is already closed, they only need to decide who is the winner, no chance they will restart.

I still believe that they will resume season, but no idea when. Probably they will have to play without spectators.
Deciding who is winner at current stage wouldn't be fair. I support Barca, but if they will be announced as winners, I think such trophy would be worthless.
If there is no way to resume season, they should cancel it without winner. European spots should be given based on current table and probably there shouldn't be relegation.

I also think if things don't turn out as expected . it would be more than Ok to just consider this season null and void. Let those players who want to leave clubs leave, those who want to join, can join and then restart the next season with the same teams without relegation and promotions.

I think all teams would understand the circumstances

It seems that various football circles have not thought about when the League will start again, related to the existence of this virus.  clubs or ranks of soccer associations around the world are more likely to handle this virus outbreak.

As reported by Goal^[1] media, Real Madrid is currently granting permission to use the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to channel assistance in handling the Corona virus.

Spain became one of the countries that felt the greatest impact due to the spread of the corona virus.  At present there are 80110 cases and 6803 fatalities.  The government in the country has set a lockdown policy in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus.

Decide the winner? How can? The league still don't reach the end, it won't be fair to decide the winner now. I am sure that all the football clubs will disagree with this idea since it destroys fairness and seems too early decision.

If there is no way to resume season, they should cancel it without winner. European spots should be given based on current table and probably there shouldn't be relegation.

Good idea but still hope that they will resume this season. However, this idea is much better and reasonable. Every party is likely to understand the decision with the current situation.

In light of the current situation we cannot be sure if the league will resume or no, and it will be really sad if they can’t get the league started again because it was getting super competitive, and the fight for the title had really heated up. Further as far as I’m aware that if a league is canceled then there’s no winner declared, and secondly last years table will come into effect for the European spots.

If Serie A and La Liga have to do something to choose winners and spots for Champions League and Europa league next year, play off tournaments are good. It is not fair to arbitrarily choose winners without such tournaments. It is surely a hard decision but from my opinion, there is no other good choices if all leagues won't manage to continue and finish all matches.

The same will go for other leagues, but for now Italy and Spain are the most affected nations from the pandemic. We will have better picture on Germany and England next two weeks or even four weeks.
