La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Tony116]

Barcelona is trying to build a good squad, but Bayern want a huge amount of money for the Lewandowski transfer. What are they trying to do by asking 50 million Euro for such an old player? Lewandowski wants to go, they can't keep him like this. No sane chairman would give 50 million Euro to a 34-year-old player. In my opinion, even 40 million is too much. Lewandowski's contract expires at the end of the year. It didn't befit the Bayern administration for them to act in this way. Barcelona cannot realize their long-term plans by giving these money to older players.

I thought Barcelona even agreed to give them $37 million for Robert Lewandowski and Bayern Munich absolutely does not want to let him go for anything less than $50.

I think that is not the right decision. The player wants to leave and this is surely going to have a bad effect on the player. There is no reason to give $50 million to a 34 year old player. I believe Barcelona did the right thing by not paying Bayern Munich whatever they wanted.

The league definitely can't be determined by El Clasicos for Barcelona and Real Madrid. The general performance and consistency are everything for this league. Real Madrid were incredible about consistency last season and this helped them reach a very comfortable championship. I'm aware of another thing too that Barcelona were very consistent after a point but it was too late for them to fight for the championship. Next season we can really watch a stronger Barcelona but I also expect Real Madrid to be the closest team to make it.

Barcelona will definitely perform well in next season, if their managements will be able to achieve those talented midfielders and defenders in this season. Barcelona performance was very poor in this season that was causing their fans unhappy about their results, which their manager promised to give the team the best performance in next season. I don't think Real Madrid will still perform well in next season, because many teams has achieved talented new players that will help them to perform better in next season.

Xavi is well aware of Barcelona's weaknesses. And so he is deliberately trying to strengthen his team. The main weakness of Barcelona last season was their defense. Barcelona's forwards are strong, but midfield and defense are weak. Umtiti and Pique are not performing as well as expected. And so I think Xavi's decision to have Christensen on the team is a good decision. Strengthening midfield and defense is more important now than taking Lewandowski to the team.

The high price set by Bayern Munich for a player who is over 30 years old certainly makes Barcelona have to think twice about signing Lewandowski at an exorbitant price, £50 million is not a small fee, especially as Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis even though they insist on signing players. With the Polish passport.now they are conducting tough negotiations because Lewandowski himself wants to find a new challenge outside the German league, where Barcelona itself offers 37 million pounds.of course Bayern Munich will benefit slightly from this price even though it is not as expected.

I think Barcelona have made a very good change, they have got the best Serie A midfielder, namely Kessie who this season was able to bring Milan to the championship. And Barcelona are looking for a strong defender to replace Gerard Pique.
I think Barcelona will be able to compete with Real Madrid next season. I am optimistic that Barcelona will be able to win the La Liga title next season

Not only kessie but actually barcelona have also got Christensen from chelsea, and they are still eyeing lewandowski to spearhead next season, the arrival of kessie will certainly make their midfield solid and I think Christensen who does have a position as a defender is indeed projected to replace pique , but unfortunately these two players still can't be registered by barcelona to la Liga because of financial fair problems at the moment, I think Xavi's influence this season is extraordinary and if they can solve their financial problems now maybe we will see Barcelona again become a rival to madrid for get tittle .

The coach of Barcelona has done really well but the problem is the financial situation of Barcelona is not going to be better any time soon. Xavi will have to work with what he has right now. And he will also have to bring the results otherwise the players are already taking a 50% cut in the pay and they are not going to hang around for too long if the team is not bringing results. There are some hard choices to make for Barcelona and for Xavi in the upcoming few years. If they can somehow hang on during these few years they will be able to do better in the future.

Barcelona has changed a lot in their game compared to a few days ago. They already have a few key players in their squad. If you look at the current statistics, it is easy to see how much Barcelona has improved.There is no doubt that Barcelona will be one of the best teams in La Liga if they can go ahead as planned.

While in a difficult financial situation like now Xavi has proven successful in improving the performance of Barcelona who last season ended the season in second place, so surely he would be better off if Barcelona's finances were no longer bad. By relying solely on free transfers and a few previously available players, Xavi has achieved that success, so I believe he is the coach that Barcelona desperately needs.

If Barcelona's financial condition recovers, then there is a high possibility that Xavi can reach a high level as Barcelona coach. He will be able to win a lot of titles, but maybe Barcelona will take a long time for that.

I don't expect Barcelona to make many transfers in the summer and their finance wouldn't let them do so too. They would focus on only necessary positions to strengthen now. This can really cause them to be more disadvantageous against Real Madrid indeed. But making many transfers doesn't guarantee anything for any team at the same time. Winning the title still depends on that team to have a solid team play. I still think that Real Madrid can be one step ahead but I'm expecting a close fight between them and Barcelona too.

You and me have the same thought at this time about barcelona, ​​indeed strengthening the team to face next season is an important thing to do, but I think barcelona should stabilize their finances first at this time instead of chasing new players for next season, the squad that barcelona has this season has actually been pretty good and it's proven if they can finish the season in second place, I think this season they can actually compete in the La Liga championship but Koeman bad strategy made them fall far behind at the start of the season.

Koeman caused the team to have serious problems in the La Liga and the Champions League both. But Xavi has been a huge help for Barcelona to improve themselves in a short time. They didn't care about the Europa League of course but their performance in the La Liga started to be very impressive. They even defeated that much powerful Real Madrid in Bernabeu like 4-0 also. Taking all these into account we can still say that Barcelona can fight hard for the La Liga title even if they don't bring many players.

[AakZaki]

There is no information about Real Madrid trying to sign a contract with some of the world's leading strikers (unless they steal Lewandowski before Barcelona sign him). This means that they were not prepared for the failure to sign a contract with Mbappe. Everything indicates that in this situation they decided to continue with the unchanged line-up in the attack. I think it's a good decision not to change the winning squad.

Next season maybe they're still capable of competing, but I'm pretty doubtful for the next season. Some Madrid players have entered old age.  They must immediately make preparations to connect the team's struggles. If there are no new substitutions they will only slow down the regeneration.
It's pretty difficult, but all the clubs seem to have to go through that cycle. There are substitutions, so they decline and return to great or fail. If that is not done then The team will lose because there are too many old players who are getting less and more days will be reduced in ability.

What is clear is that Ancelotti has good plans for his team next season and I think he has planned it so far. Some of Real Madrid's older players might miss some easy games as Real Madrid will try to roll out some of their newer, younger players. So it's true that Real Madrid will regenerate its players gradually.

You and me have the same thought at this time about barcelona, ​​indeed strengthening the team to face next season is an important thing to do, but I think barcelona should stabilize their finances first at this time instead of chasing new players for next season, the squad that barcelona has this season has actually been pretty good and it's proven if they can finish the season in second place, I think this season they can actually compete in the La Liga championship but Koeman bad strategy made them fall far behind at the start of the season.

I could feel a different atmosphere after Xavi became coach, I saw them playing more and more and it amazed me especially the way Barcelona played and connectivity between their players. Koeman didn't spoil but he just can't afford to manage a team like Barcelona because Barcelona is a team that is far more concerned with competition than just staying in Laliga for business.

Koeman caused the team to have serious problems in the La Liga and the Champions League both. But Xavi has been a huge help for Barcelona to improve themselves in a short time.

On the other hand, if Barcelona don't bring in players this summer I don't think they should let players go in this transfer window. But it is impossible for this to happen to barcelona this summer because we see the history of every season barcelona has always brought in several players this summer. Xavi delay was caused by the financial problems that hit Barcelona this summer. maybe if Barcelona finances are in good shape I think Lewandowski has landed at the Camp Nou stadium.

Xavi is an intelligent coach and am very sure he will be able to work with the players he has for the next season. Last season he was able to bring out the best from his players,  now that Barcelona is facing serious financial challenge Xavi  have no choice to bring out the best of his players he will work with, this will also save the club from expenses.

About Ronaldo to return to Real Madrid, I really don't know about that.

I really expect this,
But seeing the characteristic of Real Madrid, this club seems not to be a club that will get an old player, they will probably prefer to invest in a younger player to be added to the squad.
However, we will not know if this is about Ronaldo, maybe there is an expectation.
Ronaldo is more identical to Real Madrid, but don't know enough if they still have a chance to be together or not. Or maybe Ronaldo will move to Bayern?

Many people would like to see this happening certainly, Real Madrid fans being in the first place. However I'm thinking like that it is not more than a rumour now. Ronaldo's current situation is complicated at Manchester United though. There is still a possibility for seeing him to leave. But I have big doubts about whether Real Madrid would like to sign him now. He is still performing good and there is no problem there. The real problem is the thing I mentioned. They wouldn't like to change their attacking line much now as things are working great.

I'm still looking forward to that, haven't seen Xavi's breakthrough in the transfer market this season in substitutions to improve the quality of the game. But their rivals, Real Madrid, have not seen any breakthrough in the transfer this season, it may also be a management consideration, the rival between the two will probably continue next season even though there have not been too many squad changes in this transfer season. But it might be a bit difficult for both of them because Atletico Madrid have made changes at some point in the team.

Barcelona revival this season cannot be separated from Xavi genius in concocting team strategy, without spending a lot of money in the winter transfer market this year, Xavi managed to make Barcelona back to being a competitor in La Liga and I think Xavi will be able to repeat that for the  next season even without having to buy expensive players, actually Barcelona should be able to realize that for this season they don't need to force to add players if it will only worsen their finances in the future,  now they have a lot of debt to other clubs due to rash purchases and Barcelona should prioritize solving all problems there is rather than having to chase a lot of players for next season, if barcelona were more focused on the current players, I think they will still be able to compete in the domestic championship.

When you have got Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouemani as your back up midfield options, then you have already prepared for the future. The real madrid set up is a great one to watch, with half of the squads replacement already in place. Real Madrid just need a fighter type of dm like casemiro to complete the trio excellently. They have a young forward line of rodrygo, vinicius, hazards and mariaano (mostly injured previous seasons). The team has quality all around the pitch

Barcelona top priority in the summer window is probably Lewandowski. But Bayern Munich are demanding €50 million fee for the player. While, with the current financial difficulties Barça is facing. I don't think they will be willing to pay such huge amount of money. Also, Barcelona need to strengthen their defence. Nevertheless, Barça have to sign new talented players.

However, Atletico Madrid are getting ready for next season. They ended last season at the third place on the standings, and will be partaking in the Champions League.

Kudos to Xavi and the Barcelona team, it's not easy going through a financial crisis like this. How do you get the kind of transfers you want and how many players will be willing to accept a paycut to join and you still have to produce results at the end of every season with the available players you have, that is a lot of pressure on his shoulders by now. The major problem now is you can't even tell how long before everything settles and goes back to a stable state again.

[sana54210]

In my opinion, this is a really desperate move, as this is how Barcelona sells its future earnings. It's not a loan, but in a way it's even worse. It turns out that the cash flow of Barcelona in the future will be less and in order to remain competitive they need to be head and shoulders above the rest. But I don't see why this could happen. Still, it's probably better than immediate bankruptcy.

I am sure that they will not sell all of their media rights forever, it will probably be something that is temporary. Like sell it for 9 years or whatever type of deal. Even with that, they are not going to be out of debt, plus they are going to be missing that revenue as well which means that they could be out of debt right now but at the end of the day they are going to be missing some revenue and make a debt again in the future.

This isn't the idea they should focus on, they may do it and there might be no other way out, but I would prefer literally selling all players and putting up a youth team la masia squad for a few years instead of selling media rights.

[Magicalking]

Koeman caused the team to have serious problems in the La Liga and the Champions League both. But Xavi has been a huge help for Barcelona to improve themselves in a short time. They didn't care about the Europa League of course but their performance in the La Liga started to be very impressive. They even defeated that much powerful Real Madrid in Bernabeu like 4-0 also. Taking all these into account we can still say that Barcelona can fight hard for the La Liga title even if they don't bring many players.

Barcelona was able to pick up from a bad form in the last quarter of the season last session and finish in the top four under new manager Xavi. This shows gow extensively Koeman was ruining Barcelona. I really applaud Xavi efforts in putting the team back on track after Koeman's departure and even winning 4 goals to nothing in the El Classico game against Champions League winners Real Madrid so I believe this team can still keep up a good performance next season with the current squad.

[nurilham]

what I think the performance has decreased a bit is Modric (central midfielder) because currently he is 36 years old and of course his stamina has decreased a bit
So for the midfielder, it looks like Carletto should try to find another young and competent one

Ancelotti doesn't need to look for other midfielders, they have enough midfielders right now. If Modric cannot play at his best, Real Madrid has Camavinga and Valverde as the substitution. Real Madrid also still has Ceballos as another alternative for the substitution. So, there is no need for other new midfielders because Real Madrid has some midfielders. If Real Madrid wants new players, they are better to look for strikers, especially center forwards. Jovic and Mariano Diaz seem to leave, they will have only Benzema as a CF. 1 CF isn't enough for Real Madrid because they will play in some competitions (UCL, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, and Spanish Supercup).
