La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ILuckyGuyI]

Luuk de Jong is definitely not at the level of Barcelona now. He is already on loan too which means Barcelona can get rid of him easily in this summer. He scored only 6 goals in 21 games and I assume that Barcelona signed him on loan just to have an alternative striker in the team in case their main attackers get injured or so. They have Aubameyang now and his performance so far has been breathtaking. He scored 20 goals in 38 games in total this season. But having him only is not enough of course so I also support them on the mission to sign Lewandowski. And Depay had better play as a winger or be sent from the team.

I think next season will be a success for Barcelona, if even this season they have managed to finish in second place, having risen from the middle of the standings. Now they can compete with Real Madrid again and create intrigue. All the more so if they get a powerful forward like Robert Lewandowski.

I wonder how the fact that Barcelona was able to beat the average shows that they are able to compete with Real Madrid? After the arrival of Xavi, the distance between the clubs remained practically unchanged (this despite the fact that Real Madrid won La Liga a few rounds before the finish line and had no motivation to win in every game).

Barcelona did end the season without a trophy. We have to admit that Barcelona has been crushed this season but there is one thing that Barcelona fans should be grateful for.
at least, Barcelona can comeback to finish second in the Spanish League standings this season, after Barcelona had previously slumped.
Now Xaxi has to judge a lot of things. Barcelona needs to strengthen. Next season Barcelona will have to fight for the trophy. Barcelona must prepare well and be competitive.

One of the reasons Barcelona didn't win any trophy this season, Barcelona didn't start well in the beginning of the season under the watch of the previous coach. Despite how Barcelona began so bad they were still able to end the season with an impressive position. Barcelona will do more better in the next season with the watch of xavi as the coach .

After the arrival of Xavi, the distance between the clubs remained practically unchanged (this despite the fact that Real Madrid won La Liga a few rounds before the finish line and had no motivation to win in every game).

I do not agree because I think Xavi has improved the performance of Barcelona a lot. I have to say that points are not everything if anyone wants to judge the performance. I believe the performance of Barcelona went up very rapidly. And I have to say that credit goes to the coach because he boasted the mentality of Barcelona players a lot. Real Madrid potentially had less competition this season because Barcelona did not play well at all from the start and I think the case will be different in the next season.

As for the mentality, this whole nonsense that Xavi used (joint meals, increased discipline, etc.) is a psychological pumping that gives a short-term effect. After some time, in my opinion, this rather gives a negative effect, now it’s not the 60s for players to endure this for a long time. As for the results of Barcelona, they have become better (but not in all tournaments hehe), but these are not the kind of radical improvements that allow them to hope for something.

At least in this case they have a little change considering that maybe in this case Xavi wants to do something from the smallest first such as providing a special approach between the coaching staff and players although I do agree with what you say because this will only affect the short term and not very good in the longer term but maybe this is something they really have to do now considering at the moment the players aren't too fit in their chemistry and hope all this can improve things for the better.

I wonder whether Real Madrid are going to go for a striker this summer. They already have an incredible striker like Benzema now and his effort in this season so far has been amazing. But they can't rely on him every season at this point. If they manage to sign a young and strong striker as early as possible, they can be more comfortable considering the future. Kylian Mbappe was their prioritized target but PSG convinced him to extend for three more years. This must be a big disappointment for Real Madrid and let's see what their next move is going to be.

[Vinaa77]

I totally disagree with this, for a big and respected team like Barcelona to end the full season trophyless is not good at all, Barcelona was in poor form from the beginning of the season, they almost got close to the relegation zone before the signing of Xavi as the new coach. Upon Xavi's arrival, Barca was still not like the team every club feard because of their playing tactics, the Players lost confidence and couldn't do much not until the signing of Adama and Auboumeyang which I believe helped the team move back to the top 4 in the La Liga but they failed to get to the Europa League Finals that was disappointing and a bad season to the team.

Barcelona was able to finish this season as runners-up after stumbling in the first half. However, Barcelona failed in other competitions such as being knocked out of the Champions League, the Blaugrana then also failed after being thrown into the Europa League. Their steps in the Copa del Rey also only reached the round of 16.

Xavi of course realizes that this season has been a bad season for Barcelona, ​​but the presence of Xavi has been able to save the face of the blaugrana from worse. Looking at Barcelona next season will definitely improve, Xavi will recruit several players to strengthen the squad and be able to compete for the title.

Barcelona's management is a little late in making Xavi the coach of Barcelona, if since the beginning of the 2021/2022 season Xavi has been
Barcelona coach. I believe Barcelona can at least win a trophy this season, if Xavi replaces the previous coach at the start of the season,
but Xavi has only managed Barcelona in the middle of this season. So it must be understood Barcelona finally did not get a single trophy this season,
but Barcelona to be in second place after a disappointing start to the season is a very good achievement in my opinion. Even though it's nearing
the end of the season, Barcelona's performance is declining, it's because Barcelona already have enough points to keep them safe in second position.
Now that the 2021/2022 season is over, Xavi has to prepare everything for next season. It looks like Barcelona are quite active in the transfer
market, targeting several new players to strengthen their squad, so that next season can compete to win trophies. And I believe in Xavi's ability
as a coach, Xavi will give his best and hopefully next season Xavi can help Barcelona win trophies.

Real Madrid is predicted to be very busy in the transfer market at the beginning of the 2022/2023 season. Real Madrid has been quite passive in the last two transfer windows. Madrid focused on building the Bernabeu Stadium so that the transfer budget was cut. Next season, Madrid will be hunting for players again.  

Real Madrid must immediately regenerate the squad, considering that some of its key players have started to age, such as Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and Marcelo. El Real must move quickly to find a suitable replacement. But Perez's main targets for signing Mbappe and Halland have run aground and Madrid must move quickly to other targets. In addition, Madrid will also release several players who are not included in Ancelotti's plans.

Apart from wanting to bring in some new players to strengthen his team next season then I think Xavi also really wants to keep some of his potential young players. Dembele continues to develop and he has become a player that is expected to be kept in the next few seasons, but the player has not yet decided whether he stays or chooses to move to another team next season.

Another important position is defender because Alba and Alves are also not always able to help the team throughout the competition. They are injury prone and I think they need to get a decent cover next season.

[kawetsriyanto]

When compared to Barcelona, Real Madrid clearly has a higher purchasing power, so the chances for Real Madrid to get Robert Lewandowski are much bigger than Barcelona. In addition, Robert Lewandowski has shown an interest in moving to Real Madrid and I think what will be decisive is how much of an offer Real Madrid can make to Bayern Munich.

Well even though Bayern Munich has turned down offers from Barcelona and they are trying to keep Robert Lewandowski, but a large transfer value could make a difference.

Yep, Real Madrid has no problem with a financial problem and they still didn't buy any top players lately, so they must have enough money to buy Lewandowski. Real Madrid can make an offer with a big transfer fee, but I think Real Madrid management must consider Lewandowski's age as well, they probably don't want to spend too much money for an old striker. However, I am also very sure that Bayern may accept Real Madrid offer if the offer is quite realistic, and especially if Bayern already gets a new CF as the replacement.

Real Madrid has the budget but they ran out of their main options, Mbappe mainly and Haaland also.
There is some rumours about Tchouameni, Dybala, B. Silva. I don't think there will be someone to take Benzema place at least for the next season but Real Madrid should find a substitute for him for the upcoming years.

[sana54210]

Barcelona managed to rise very quickly from adversity, they brought in a new coach and some new players, it was very effective to lift their performance in the second half of the season, but once we can't compare with Real Madrid's performance which was very consistent from the start of the season until finally they succeeded. won the La Liga trophy this season.
maybe if Barcelona can maintain their good form they will be able to compete more tightly for the title next season.

I agree that there is a good situation with Barcelona. They have some young stars finally, they had so many old players just a few years ago, I believe that even Xavi wouldn't have been able to bring that team to glory because they were so old that the 90th minute couldn't come soon enough.

However, there is a good case to be made about them becoming much better with the young stars now, Pedri at 19, de jong at 25, fati at 19, gavi at 17!, torres at 22, traore 26, dembele at 25. These are all amazing players. There are some others too, and they are all great. Of course they still have some older players like Busquets but they will transition out of those older players eventually too.

Real Madrid were furious when Mbappe decided to stay at PSG despite reportedly having reached a personal agreement beforehand with Real Madrid. I think next season Benzema will no longer be like this season, he is getting older and the competition will be even stronger between Real Madrid's young strikers. So it's good to have a replacement for him as soon as possible because Real Madrid won't be hanging on to his magic for the rest of the season.

But having him only is not enough of course so I also support them on the mission to sign Lewandowski. And Depay had better play as a winger or be sent from the team.

But on the other hand at the moment he still hopes he is at Barcelona now and this is as he told Cadena Ser that indeed he still wants to be at Barcelona even though he is a substitute there.
Even though it's quite difficult for him to be in Barcelona now, his age is not too old because he is still 31 years old but he doesn't seem to fit into Barcelona's current game

[Velvet78]

I'm not quite sure about Luuk de Jong now. I don't see a bright future for him to play for Barcelona now. He wasn't impressive at all this season and there is no reason for Barcelona to extend his loan contract. But on the other hand they can use him as the last resort too. Let's say they signed another striker. In case him and Aubameyang both are unable to play sometimes, he would get a chance to show himself and Barcelona wouldn't need to think of what player to put there. I wonder what Barcelona will do about Depay too. I think it would be in their favour to keep him as he had a decent season.

You are right. Real Madrid already failed to sign their main targets, Mbappe & Haaland. Man City signed Haaland because Haaland's father ever played as a Man City player, City got an advantage of his father's history. While Mbappe decided to stay because Mbappe wants to play more in France and was interested in the big money offered by PSG management. Honestly, Real Madrid is very unlucky, they failed because of personal reasons that influenced those players' decisions. The latest news, Real Madrid wants to sign Lewandowski from Bayern. This may be the final target and probably fails also because Bayern doesn't want to lose their main striker. Too bad transfer season for Real madrid...

Real Madrid already have a striker that is very good,scoring goals on regular basis for them,except they are looking for a more younger striker,that will have a future with the club,but I can say that Karim Benzema is very good,and he has no intention of leaving the club despite other club wanting his services.Haaland chose Mancity because he feels there are so many players that can give him assists,and make him score more goals.

When Xavi came to Barcelona, one of the main tasks was to change the psychological state and it must be admitted that with these actions, albeit somewhat old-fashioned, he still achieved his goal and the team began to gain more confidence in their game. All this can work perfectly well in the future, if you don't overdo it too much. Nevertheless, team spirit and team traditions are not an empty phrase, despite the fact that the current players are more cosmopolitan and they no longer have the same authority over the conventions in the relationship between clubs and within the club that have developed historically. Still, for a modern player, football is primarily a type of work that can bring income and only then everything else related to it.

Yes, actually it is quite disappointing when Mbappe failed Real Madrid. But, it may not be a big problem. Real Madrid still has their best key players, especially Benzema. Now, Rea Madrid changes their target for the next player to be. There may be still several options that they may consider although they may not be as amazing as Mbappe & Haaland. But at least, they can maximize the season to get the best transfer players. They have some rumors targeting players from Milan or Chelsea or maybe other clubs. But, let's see it until the end. I personally won't expect too much before signing the contract, like what happen to Mbappe & Haaland

Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez is totally disappointed that the team failed to sign both young lads this season. First they abandoned Erling Haaland deal from Dortmund because all their main focus was on the Frenchman, Kylian Mbappe who later turn them down in the last minute of the deal. One thing is that the Los Blancos didn't send good scouts to convince these players to join the team, Erling Haaland was convinced by his father to join city while Mbappe was persuaded to extend his contract with the team, and he couldn't resist because of the gigantic deal PSG offered him.
