La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Pokapoka124]

Barcelona not performing well earlier in the season does not make Barcelona a weak team , if Barcelona is a weak team they would not have reached in the position where they are in laliga.  As far as xavi is concerned in Barcelona it is very sure that Barcelona will come back strong in the next season.

Nobody said that Barcelona was a weak team overall. It's just that they've been through the early stages of the season, and it's not just the crisis they're going through I think Koeman has had a hand in this responsibility. Since Xavi took over he has been able to make the team better. That means something is wrong with the way Koeman manages this team.

Maybe it's not correct to say Koeman messed up Barcelona, but that's the truth and I remember very well where Koeman let Suarez go, which basically Suarez had no problems with in the team. This factor reflects where Koeman's initial steps went wrong, because after that Barcelona's attack line could be said to be limp and it was difficult for them to score goals and weak in defense. This incident certainly makes the Barcelona board probably regret it because they chose the wrong coach to deal with Barcelona, now even though Barcelona looks to be improving but in fact they still have many problems. Therefore, if only in a chaotic era like this Xavi can build a better Barcelona, what if Barcelona is currently in a good situation and condition then Xavi will certainly do a better job than this.

Koeman wasn't great at Barcelona. His era was arguably the worst Barcelona have ever experienced in the last two decades. The fear factor opponents usually having when facing Barcelona suddenly disappeared. Thankfully, he was sacked and Xavi was made the manager, for the first time in a year and half or thereabout, Barcelona fans can relax and not be too bothered if they will lose when they play Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and other big European teams.

Barcelona is still facing a fairly serious problem, the financial crisis, at there are many reports regarding another salary cut for senior players in order to bring in some talented players such as de maria and lewandowski. Maybe next season will not be as smooth as their fans expect, to get another title the Club will have to fight hard.
Real Madrid losing a few players quite a bit confused, but Ancelotti does need a young talented player like Diaz who is widely rumored to be brought and back to Real Madrid, but also certainty is not clear.

Barcelona limitations regarding finances are indeed a big obstacle. Because if we look at Barcelona with good finances, it will not be difficult to fight in the Europa League with the performance of more aggressive players. But so far when they closed La Liga in the second place it has proven a good improvement. So there's nothing wrong with next season being able to show even better performance. Next season there is still time and fixing the finances in the remaining time they may be working on.

I see it will be difficult for barca to improve their team's finances in a short time. even hot rumors circulating are barca asking Gerard Pique to retire immediately so that the team's finances are not burdened again. things like this that will make the psychology of the barca players decline. Barca need a miracle (big funding) to recover quickly.

Barcelona need to push their economic limits this year. Finishing second in La Liga will of course lead to good earnings, but it should not be forgotten that their arch-rivals Madrid closed this year as champions of the Champions League. I think Barcelona will be a team that can push themselves and beat the economic situation with those limits. They are like the cs team that chose the eco hand this season

They are still in very bad shape but always hoping for the best to sign Lewandowski is a strange thing in my opinion.
On the other hand now they are not focused on the Europa League because for next season they are back in the Champions League and this is something they have to think about carefully, lest they move back to a lower caste than the Champions League.

[Distraction]

Barcelona are in a bad shape financially but they must find a way out in this. They really need to make their current squad stronger to compete harder in the Champions League especially in next season. The current one might not be quite enough for them to be too much competitive. Xavi would like to see his team doing their best to achieve the Champions League title in the end. It is the same for the La Liga title too of course. They haven't been becoming the champions in the La Liga for three years and in the Champions League for seven years.

Apart from that, you actually won't be able to compare Barcelona's financial condition with Madrid's for now because the comparison is very far and it won't be possible to be the same.
They do have a good position in 2nd place but their loss last season was also big even they lost their bonus because they lost in the Champions League and didn't get anything in the Europa League which made them continue to lose financially.

[baeva]

I totally agree with you. If Javi had come in at the beginning of the season they could have been in contention for the title, but ... It was just too late in the team's rebuild.

I don't think so. Xavi can compete for the title, but to win it won't be easy. Real Madrid seems still to become the favorite. In my opinion, Ancelotti has a better experience in managing a club and Real Madrid has a good squad to compete for the title. Xavi needs time to have a good experience as a coach, he also needs time to adapt to the current Barcelona squad. So, with a more experienced coach and a more established squad, I am sure Real Madrid was still the winner of La Liga although Xavi managed Barcelona from the beginning of the last season.

Didn't he get some experience this season? All I can see is that he's done a great job building the team's tactics, Barcelona have been great in the second half of the season, I think next season, especially given the fact that they will be strengthening their squad this summer, they could be in contention not only for the La Liga league title, but for other titles as well.

Of course, they only had the power to win the Europa League. I was thinking of Barça as the biggest favorite for the Europa league, but they were a big disappointment. They actually lost the bonuses themselves. Therefore, it is clear that they are in financial loss next season. They should make good use of the transfer season.

Xavi should focus more on the Champion League title next season. Although, it won't be an easy task winning the title. But, if they can probably improve their performance, and also work more in their defense. I think they might succeed. Barcelona have been financially down for quite a time now, which resulted to them losing their star player Messi. But that won't stop Xavi from acquiring new players. However, is certain that Xavi will also want to lift the La Liga trophy next season.

Winning the Champions League title is never easy, even if the squad is strong. Xavi's only goal last season was to qualify for the Champions League. And he did it. Barcelona management is now trying to sign Lewandowski. If Xavi is able to do this, then Xavi will set his sights on winning both La Liga and Champions League titles next season.

If Xavi had managed to win the Champions League next season, it would have been a miracle.
Barcelona has to improve a lot of elements to fight for dominance in La Liga, and let's just dream about the Champions League for now.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but this season we've seen Barcelona having problems even with weak teams, so I think it's a long way for the Champions League.

Thankfully, he was sacked and Xavi was made the manager, for the first time in a year and half or thereabout, Barcelona fans can relax and not be too bothered if they will lose when they play Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, and other big European teams.

Let's not forget what time Koeman came. Then Barcelona did not have such financial problems and the task of the head coach was to rejuvenate the squad, although I also did not like how he did with Luis Suarez. It was also a complete surprise for Koeman that the team was left without a player like Leo Messi, and then without Antoine Griezmann. Also, let's not forget that Koeman won the Spanish Cup for Barcelona, but Xavi has not been able to win any tournament with Barcelona yet. I have great respect for all that Xavi has achieved with Barcelona, but let's not forget what different conditions Koeman and Xavi had.

[savetheFORUM]

Nobody said that Barcelona was a weak team overall. It's just that they've been through the early stages of the season, and it's not just the crisis they're going through I think Koeman has had a hand in this responsibility. Since Xavi took over he has been able to make the team better. That means something is wrong with the way Koeman manages this team.

There are many factors that Koeman considered a failure in managing Barcelona. Especially in terms of money management, Koeman spends too much on less productive players. And when replaced by Xavi we see money savings by taking advantage of the portion of players who are quite qualified. Therefore, Koeman is considered wasteful and does not prioritize the quality of the players. Now in Xavi hands, we see a lot of positive changes that could have made a difference when Barcelona was under Koeman.

I didn't know Koeman made the transfers, I assumed that the president and the GM etc etc made those transfers and just told koeman to play with whatever they gave him, sure there were suggestions who to get, but not directly made the decisions.

If it was like you said, like Koeman was the reason they paid that much for the players, then I have to say it is definitely a wrong move for sure and makes sense for him to lose his job not just over bad results but financial situation. Xavi didn't really improved the financial situation all that much yet, he needs time for that, they need to play with very cheap players to keep it going in order to pay it all.

It's tough situation.

Xavi might asked to do a miracle by playing with the current squad , a very weak squad depth as injecting more money might be too risky for barcelona to get in bankruptcy.
There is no win win solution fir them at least for now.

[Velvet78]

Xavi is really dealing with a very difficult situation but they will leave these days behind sooner or later I believe. When the time comes, we will be able to see Barcelona being strong in terms of every way. Xavi is building a new system into the team and it will take some time to be completed fully. In this period of time, Barcelona management had better do their best to solve the financial trouble the team are in now. The fans must be waiting for big transfers in the transfer window so it'd be a big disappointment for them if it doesn't happen.

[TelolettOm]

It is still too early to target winning the UCL title. They are actually still in a financial problem, so Xavi can't do much to bring star players. Their current squad looks not really convincing to win UCL trophy or even La Liga title. Xavi needs to focus on improving their squad and target to have a better performance. If they can improve their performance, they may have the chance to win a trophy. But he shouldn't target to win UCL trophy since it is the most difficult achievement to get for now.

Xavi's move to bring big players to the Camp Nou experienced problems due to financial problems that Barcelona were facing. Xavi can spend money from the sale of players, the rest Xavi has to look at free transfer players to build a squad that still hasn't got a balance. Barcelona must improve performance for next season, since Xavi handled, Barcelona performance has started to improve, but not perfect. Xavi's task is very tough for next season, the strength of the team must be rebuilt in order to compete for trophies.

The Barcelona team is stable now. But if they want to win the title, they have to be stronger. Now I have no complaints about Barcelona forward. There are enough talented players in the forward. However, Barcelona needs more experienced players in defence and midfield. Although Gavi, Pedri and Puig are talented enough, they are not experienced. Also Barcelona's defence is weak. Xavi should bring in more experienced players in defence.

Exactly, because Barcelona managements will not allow this opportunity to pass them than to use this opportunity to sign in some talented strikers that will help the team to achieve victory next season. Barcelona team need strikers that know how to attract early goals from any match, which will really cost the managements a huge amount of money. I think, the managements are fully ready to use any amount of money to admit talented strikers that will improve the team and to help them to achieve la Liga league title in next season.
