La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Alanaz]

this was a season of many surprises, we saw barcelona being below the top 4 and still finishing in second position.

Yeah, I still remember Barcelona in the beginning of this season, I thought at that time that Barcelona had no chance to be qualified for the UCL. But they could come stronget and comback until reaching the second position . Their performance progress was very exciting. But unfortunately they couldn't close this season with good news because they must be beaten by Villarreal 2 - 0.

And we must say goodbye to Granada, Levante, and Alaves because they are in the relegation.

I think the same as you think. Their financial problems at the start of the season obviously made them worse in every way especially losing their star Messi to PSG and Aguero being forced to hang up his boots early making this even worse than expected but luckily there has been a massive change in terms of performance. coaching management and several player changes that made them compete again until the end.

Granada did not play as well as Cadiz and Mallorca which made them have to give up their position and had to move to the Segunda Division

They have to go through a transition period this season because after being left by Messi and a not-so-good start to the season made Barcelona have to take the option of replacing the coach, the arrival of Xavi made Barcelona situation re-ignite where Barcelona was able to record consecutive wins and bounce back from adversity.

Xavi arrival in the middle of this season was indeed a miracle for Barcelona, ​​which at that time was slumped under Koeman coaching, the arrival of Xavi gave a revival to Barcelona game and slowly Barcelona, ​​which was previously at the bottom was able to end the season in second place, I personally can't wait to See what Xavi does next season in Barcelona, ​​but if you look at Xavi extraordinary journey this season, it certainly gives hope for Barcelona fans to see their team back on championship track next season.

But for now it looks like Xavi has to start reconciling his players at the moment because if I look at them now they are quite good and very different than at the start of the season but I don't know if they lost motivation or what towards the end of the season their performance dropped quite a bit in my opinion and things like this indeed should not be allowed to drag on, especially for the next season. now they can take a break for a while and after that Xavi should be able to think harder to start the season well

[herurist]

Yes, it's a shame that Villareal couldn't finish in the top four. but we have to Hats off to Villareal this season they have combined everything we expect in football! Will, mentality, technology, dynamics, cool, I admire what has evolved in such a short time! Thanks for the great moments!
Hopefully next season there will be new surprises again in La Liga.

from what I saw actually if they wanted they could have finished there during the second half of the season but indeed they were too focused on being in the Champions League because at that time they could win surprisingly against strong teams like Juventus and Bayern but it didn't go well. well towards the end.
Luckily they are still in the Conference league and even though this league is below the Champions League and Europa League but of course this is still good for them.

[Minecache]

Honestly, it was half Barcelona not playing great, half the league not being that important anymore. They finished second, and Barcelona-Madrid combo finished 1-2 plenty of times before, even though Barcelona had some problems at the start of the season, the end result is something expected from any year and wasn't a shock, they need to thank Xavi for this.
The only downside could be that just because he had a good comeback and got them finish second, they could wait a lot from him next year, and may even spend some money. In that situation they shouldn't really lose hope if they do badly for a while, it will get better in the long run.

This is necessary even I feel if Xavi is not there then maybe we will not see Barcelona in the Europa League or Champions League next season, considering that for the beginning of the season until the middle of the season they really are not like Barcelona and fortunately Xavi is here and made a breakthrough that resulted in quite rapid progress here.
But towards the end I don't know why Xavi wasn't as intense as usual because if we look at the last few games before the end of the season their form wasn't very good.

The way Barcelona started the season I don't think there was any way that they could have done well and at least I don't believe they could have done anything that they have in this season. Certainly, we have to give credit to the manager and coach of Barcelona. The new management certainly did wonders for this team. The sad thing is that Messi had to leave Barcelona and that cannot be undone right now or maybe not ever.

Although success make give second place position for Barcelona after arriving Xavi Hernandez but failure on several competition I don't think could give positive achievement for Barcelona in this season. Not really bad with Barcelona finish on 2nd place but failed on champion league and europe league most terrible thing. How ever first time Barcelona failed from group stage of champion league and not get any trophy yet in this season make all Barcelona fans looks shy with Real Madrid achievement, success get La Liga tittle before early and success lead to final champion league.

[laurenB7742]

La Liga season have been over and we have see team qualify to UEFA Champion League, UEFA Europe League and team get ticket to UEFA Conference League next season, not forget with three team have drop relegation from La Liga this season.

Here list team success get champion league ticket next season

• Real Madrid
• Barcelona
• Atletico Madrid
• Sevilla

Team play UEFA Europe League

• Real Betis
• Real Sociedad

How do you guys expect Barcelona to do in the Champions League?

I really don't know how they will be performing in the Champions League. They had a really good chance to win the Europa League this season but they failed to do that. Champions League is going to be very important for Barcelona because they will need the money. And winning the Champions League is always going to be a great honor for any team. But in the Champions League, Real Madrid will always be ahead of Barcelona in my opinion.

It will also be really interesting to see how Real Betis and Real Sociedad are from in the Europa league.

Xavi coming to Barcelona as coach was the best thing that has ever happened to Barcelona this season, Barcelona record was very poor but when xavi arrived as coach he transformed Barcelona for good. Even if they couldn't meet up to win the league atleast  their record at the end of season is not poor and they ended their last game well.

It is easier to coach a team that are willing to give their best and play as a club. Xavi had a good result because he was already use to Camp Nou and the boy we're willing to work with him. His new signings also boasted the overall performance. Koeman wasn't that bad he only needed more time but Barcelona didn't have so much to spare because they we're already having streak of losses. Xavi on the hand is a Nou brought which gave him a better tactics saving the team a whole lot

Xavi's arrival is a blessing in itself for Barcelona but actually the challenge also starts now is Xavi really that strong at Barcelona because this is a new chapter and the start of the season is a start for him. Apart from his good performance this season, of course this will not count if indeed next season he is still stagnant and doesn't make many changes.

Villarreal had a decent finale in this season and at least captured the seventh position. And they made it by defeating a very tough opponent like Barcelona in an away game which was even more impressive to me. Barcelona were better statistically maybe but sometimes statistics can't help any team to defeat their opponent. This was a solid example for that situation as Villarreal won by a 2-0 result despite not finding too many goal opportunities. The seventh position isn't satisfying enough for a team that reached the Champions League semi finals maybe but they still had a great season in general.

Xavi is definitely the main reason why they are doing so well. We need to realize that Xavi is a marvellous coach, and he knows how to play the tiki-taka system that Barcelona played years ago and do it better right now which would be basically just a gegenpress version of tiki-taka that they played 10 years ago.

This is why he is such a great manager, he sees the developments in the world of football and he could put that to work as well. I do not know why they would ever consider firing him, but if they ever do because of bad results, they would be making the biggest mistakes of their lives. Even if they get a bad result here and there, they should be still be patient about him.

Villarreal really proven that they are more stronger than Barcelona in this tournament, because many people predicted for the favour of Barcelona but the game ended up for the favour of Villarreal. It was a great celebration in the camp of Villarreal for the tactics they used to defeated Barcelona 2-0 without allow them to achieve any goal from the match. I think Barcelona coach need to improve the team so that they will be able to perform well in next season because their performance was very poor in this season that made their fans unhappy in this season.

The team's motivation was different in this last match, Barcelona had no effect on any results they received while Villarreal desperately needed a win in order for them to secure their position to be able to get a ticket to European competition.
I think the motivation that Villarreal players have is bigger that they can win the game against Barcelona.
actually Villareeal's performance is quite good this season, they can reach the semifinals of the UCL but they are not consistent in the league so that their standings position is very low.
and for Barcelona to have bounced back so quickly after slumping at the start of the season, the factor in Xavi's entry as coach was the most influential. I have no doubt that next season Barcelona will be even stronger.

Ronald Koeman replacement was a good one for the Barcelona team. Xavi appointment really raise the team from the bottom of the league, his arrival brought alot of changes in the team. Xavi's lengthy experience was put into practice and he delivered when all hopes was lost for the catalans team, he made few signings. Let's see what he has to offer to the team next season because he wasn't an easy task to lift a team from bottom of the league table to end second position on the table.

Sorry i can't agree with you I don't think the Villarreal team is stronger than Barcelona. This was not an important match for Barcelona. Because second place in the points table was guaranteed for Barcelona. Barcelona also lost to Cadiz this season. Now would you say the Cadiz team is stronger than Barcelona? This is not reasonable. Moreover, even if Villarreal won this match, they could not dominate.

it is a good Vision but when this Expectation is not in line with Reality then what happens? he could be the subject of ridicule just as Koeman was initially praised when he replaced Quique Setien who did not bring any change at Barcelona.
This is a challenge for Xavi whether he really wants to be labeled as a great coach again or does he want to be a laughing stock due to his not good enough contribution.

That's right, losing or winning won't change Barcelona's position. and I think Xavi's goal to bring Barcelona back to the game has been achieved. at least this season Barcelona did not appear to disappoint by being in position 2.
Next season Xavi with better players in the Barcelona squad, I think he will be able to provide better quality.

In my opinion, Xavi's job was good to bring Barcelona to finish in the 2nd standings, it means that things are getting better for now, so the final match with Villarreal even if they lose will still be good for Xavi.
I agree with you Xavi will be more prepared for next season, by starting a new career the squad will be shown to remain impressive and next season they will still be able to compete in the UCL with manager Xavi.
