La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[judas]

Vinicius - Benzema - Mbappe look perfect but Lewandowski instead of Mbappe hmm not sure if that will be good for Benzema since his role will be to assist him like what he used to do with CR7.. After this excellent season for him, everyone will think that he dropped in performance.
Back to what I am aware of so far, Lewandowski is linked more to Barcelona rather than any other club, obviously if Bayern let him leave this summer

Yes Lewandowski has been linked with Barcelona for a long time. I still can't imagine him playing for Barcelona because it seems to me like the characteristics of the team and him are different. Actually Barcelona started to play a little more different thanks to Xavi but I still think that Lewandowski would fit Real Madrid better than Barcelona. Because I think that there are similarities between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich now so this can ease the adaptation process for Lewandowski. On the other hand, I'm still not very sure about if Real Madrid go for him as they have Benzema.

If someone says Real Madrid defense is weak, then what is the most losing goals ever conceded to Real Madrid, Real Madrid have Courtois the greatest goalkeeper and even though they escape the Real Madrid defense but will not have a chance to score a goal from goalkeeper Courtois.

Nobody said Courtois was bad because it was very clear that in terms of goalkeeping at Real Madrid, Courtois deserved a lot of appreciation because his saves were extraordinary, but it would be very complete if Real Madrid's defensive line became stronger again. So a goalkeeper like Courtois won't be too tired in saving a ball shot at goal directly.

Real Madrid are fortunate to have a great goalkeeper like Thibaut Courtois, he not only made a number of important saves, but was also able to provide a sense of security for the Los Blancos defenders. Courtois became an important player to reduce the explosiveness of Liverpool's attack that night. So it is very natural that the Belgian goalkeeper was named the best player in the Champions League final.

[Vinaa77]

Real Madrid have a fallible defense, if you check in all the games they played against tough teams in the Champions league. One will notice that they conceded much goals starting from PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. The Los Blancos side passed through all these challenges but what saved them was a good and sharp Frontlines. They have both brutal midfield and attack, they don't easily Missed chances of goal scoring. For instance in the final were they face Liverpool, who happens to have tough players too, the both teams are very much alike except for the defense that Liverpool beat them a little bit. How could I forget to mention one important in the team that played an essential role, the goal keeper, Thibaut Courtois who saved them from the hands of Liverpool.

Yes I agree with you. Real Madrid's defense is not that strong and has been proven in several matches. In the Madrid Final, Liverpool were more pressured by Liverpool, but Courtois' prowess was able to save Liverpool's nine golden opportunities.

Militao and Alaba still don't look like they're fully aligned, but Ancelotti doesn't have much choice in the position. The joining of Rudiger might be a solution to improve the defense line. And I believe that next season El Real will be victorious again, at least at the domestic level.

Currently a big problem hit Barcelona again.  Barca's financial situation is very complicated plus pressure from the La Liga regarding the team's salary limit has put the club in a desperate position.  According to reports in the media, Barca's management demanded a 50 percent cut in the salaries of all players and staff.  There is no choice for players but to stay or choose to leave.

Poor for Barcelona players, they must lose 50% of their salaries. I heard their salaries were already cut previously, now there is another cut for their salaries. How many times does Barcelona want to cut their players' salaries? I think some players may think to move if the salaries will have another cut anymore.  

Anyway, the fun fact is, Barcelona is always linked to new players. Currently, they are linked to signing Lewandowski. I don't know how they pay the transfer fees and the salaries of a new player if they don't fix the financial problem yet? Sometimes, I think what Barcelona management do is a bit strange. They want new players, but they cut their players' salaries.

[Pulsar77]

Barcelona may still be in a financial trouble now but hopefully they can leave these days behind by finding a solution sooner or later. They might have to sell some players to increase their budget for example. They have been rumoured with some significant players in the recent times but their current financial condition might not be enough to meet the demands of those players. I'm also among the people who believe Barcelona need to make their lineup more qualified before next season starts. The current one mightn't be enough to be more successful in the CL especially.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona will still be in financial difficulties in the coming years. However, it still remains a mystery how they manage to still be able to buy players, while they are now dealing with huge debts. frenkie de Jong will probably be sold for an amount of around 85 million, which is making good progress. But then you miss a very good player. In Spain it is quite easy to be in the minus and then just keep buying and paying players.

The defensive part was known since from the start, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is such a joke that, at the start of the season everyone talked about how they lost both varane and ramos at the same time and how their defense will suck and that is why they won't be "good" this year.

It turns out they were good enough to win the league and UCL at the same time. I think everyone was wrong about the defense part being the deal breaker, sure they conceded goals but scored enough to make up for it as well. If they could get some better defenders this year, ti will be even easier for next season and they are already in talks with Rudiger.

Courtois became an important player to reduce the explosiveness of Liverpool's attack that night.  So it is very natural that the Belgian goalkeeper was named the best player in the Champions League final.

No wonder.
Courtois really made so many savings during the UCL final and this really shows and proves his professionalism as a big player. What he did really gives a big influence on real Madrid. Actually, it is not only when the final of UCL, but also in the other matches, he has made so many efforts to save from goals. He has proven his best so that also other Real Madrid players. they also have proven their best performance so far. He really deserves the title and all players deserve to get our big appreciation for this achievement.

It is true Courtois became one of the key players who led Real Madrid to win the La Liga trophy and also the Champions League trophy.
Especially Courtois performance in the Champions League final made more people realize that Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
This means that Real Madrid's decision to sign Courtois from Chelsea in 2018 was a very good decision, because Courtois's appearance is getting
more mature nowadays, his form also continues to improve. Maybe Chelsea regrets their decision to sell Courtois to Real Madrid, because this
season Chelsea is one of the teams defeated by Real Madrid in the Champions League. Having Courtois as a goalkeeper makes Real Madrid's defense
very strong, moreover Rudiger is also confirmed to join Real Madrid, this makes Real Madrid's defense even more solid next season.

Lalliga is going to more competitive next season than this season because most of the teams will be out to compete for that tittle,a team like Barcelona who is aiming to win the Lalliga tittle next season.Real Madrid was able to win the tittle this season because they started on a very high winning frequency which pushed them very far before any other team will meet them up.The second half of the season when Barcelona started playing very well and started wining games back to back,Real Madrid were no where to catch up with,they were already ontop.Therefore,next season will be more tough because after the transfer window,  most players will be at different clubs,and that is going to boost their teams spirit,making the season more interesting.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid would of course be active in the transfer market this summer. And they had better be so because I don't see their defensive line as strong enough now. Militao - Alaba is not a very good line I think. I didn't like Militao against especially Manchester City in the Champions League semi finals. I would like to see Alaba playing as a back rather than a defender also. Even if he doesn't play in a position like that, Real Madrid should be able to find a better central defender. They have signed Rüdiger so far but I would like to see one more transfer beside him.

I think it's enough for Real Madrid to have Militao and Rudiger in the main defence. Alaba and Carvajal are also very suitable to play on the left and right sides of the defense.

Have you heard that Real Madrid want to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni? Tchouaméni is currently a hot topic and he is also a target for big clubs in La Liga. do you think Real Madrid need Tchouaméni?

I don't know maybe you will turn out to be right about it and we will see Rudiger and Militao making a great duo next season. I would hope so actually otherwise they can need to spend a lot of money for another defender. When it comes to Tchouameni, I don't know if Real Madrid need a player like him now. He is a defensive midfielder and they already have Casemiro in that position. However they might still see it as an investment for the future of course. He is a promising player surely.

Barcelona rebuilt the team well but still need to consolidate it to improve further their record. Real Madrid is in a good shape and with the planned signing they will be better especially in their defence and midfield lines.
Until now I don't see anything interesting about ATM and Sevilla planned transfers so I assume the competition for the next season will be intense between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The best Real Madrid center defenders may be Alaba-Rudiger, Militao isn't strong enough and still needs more experience. But whatever the best duo, at least they have 3 quite strong center defenders right now. Alaba, Rudiger, and Militao will make Real Madrid defense to be better in the next season, I believe it.

When it comes to Tchouameni, I don't know if Real Madrid need a player like him now. He is a defensive midfielder and they already have Casemiro in that position. However they might still see it as an investment for the future of course. He is a promising player surely.

As long as the transfer fees are not so expensive, it is worth buying Tchouameni. He can be the substitution for Casemiro for the next season, and can be planned to be his successor. Real Madrid invests money for their future if they can sign Tchouameni

Barcelona has quality players both young and old players. Their problem is still the same, they have a problem with finances. What do you mean by 'consolidate' here? They are in the process to return to their strong power and try to play consistently. By having Xavi as the coach, Barcelona is on the right way to be a winning team again.

i'm so excited to see the Classico interesting again after Messi and Ronaldo left, it won't be the same of course but at least better than last season when it took barcelona half of a season to get on their feet, with the new comers for barca, Real madrid have now a strong competitor, we are probably going to see a fight until the last matches of la liga.

I think moving to Liverpool is not the best option for Suarez even though he is a top ex-player at Liverpool. Suarez will not be able to compete with other younger strikers he will not get enough minutes if he moves to Liverpool. Aston Villa are much more realistic for Suarez but there is no word yet on that possibility at this time.

Gerrard will probably try to get a player who is younger than Suarez, but of course I don't think Suarez is finished. He's still earning for but will probably be outmatched by other strikers. At Aston Villa he will have the opportunity to combine with Coutinho, it would be good in my opinion if Suarez gets a chance at Aston Villa.

^ Suarez is obviously not finished but considering his age he should not move to a club that is really competitive. And towards the end of his career, I think he really should think about getting more play time instead of thinking about joining a competitive team in which he will find it really hard to compete with the younger strikers.

Obviously choosing Liverpool for his club is not an easy thing for Suarez he is old not like he used to be and Klopp prefers young and talented players with Suarez not the criteria Klopp wants so the rumors don't exist.
Whether Suarez chooses Aston Villa, he must know the consequences because in the EPL a tight league, even if Suarez is old, he must be able to compete again there, even with coach Steven Gerrard, who used to play together.

^ I think in Aston Villa the understanding between Suarez and his coach Steven Gerrard is going to be good because they used to play together. But you will have to perform no matter what because English Premier League is the most competitive league in the whole world right now. I really wonder if he will be able to adapt to the pace of the English Premier League at his age.

Financial problems are still a frightening specter for the football team regardless of whether it is a big team though. But here Barcelona are lucky enough at least for this season, because they can do better in the middle of the financial crisis that hit them. It is inseparable from their success when appointing Xavi Hernandez to handle this team.

[mamesso]

Barcelona will still be in financial difficulties in the coming years. However, it still remains a mystery how they manage to still be able to buy players, while they are now dealing with huge debts. frenkie de Jong will probably be sold for an amount of around 85 million, which is making good progress. But then you miss a very good player. In Spain it is quite easy to be in the minus and then just keep buying and paying players.

Slowly but surely Xavi has had a positive impact on Barcelona, ​​after being handled by Xavi, Barcelona performance began to improve. What Xavi did at Barcelona is still the beginning, the philosophy that Xavi instilled was able to bring Barcelona to finish in second place. Xavi must make a new breakthrough to restore Barcelona's identity, Xavi must bring new players to Barcelona to be able to challenge Real Madrid again for the La Liga title and compete in the Champions League next season. Financial difficulties are still an incurable disease, the option to bring in free transfer players can be done by Barcelona to get some players to strengthen the club.

Xavi has done his job well, at least to restore the performance of Barcelona while still being handled by Koeman. The crisis in this team is an obstacle for Xavi to be able to implement what he thinks in this transfer window. Well maybe not that much he will do to be able to buy the players he wants. But on the one hand he must be good at seeing the potential of young players in situations like this.

I personally feel that De Jong should be sold, because by selling him they can buy more player’s which will help Xavi in the long run. Also I’m aware that he’s one of the best in his position, but currently his sale can help Barcelona grow, and hence he should be sold so that the club can strengthen themselves in other areas of the pitch.
