La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[KTChampions]

I'm a real madrid fan but in my opinion what happened last season that made us win the la liga was that we were very lucky. barcelona was too weak, they were falling so much that even i thought they would be relegated, atletico madrid was also too weak, it didn't even look like the same atletico that managed to have good results, the other teams were also a disaster , all these conditions led us to win the la liga and we also managed to get lucky in the champions league. but next season barcelana will be strong and can win la liga so we need to be strong next season

To be much stronger than all opponents you call luck? 
Real Madrid had a great season and the fact that other teams was in crisis cannot detract from Real excellent performance and results. At the moment, Real Madrid is running a super successful transfer company and strengthening the right positions, while Barcelona are either selling players or not, and all their plans so far remain words. I don't know why you think they will be strong next season.

It's true, Toni Kross provides the balance for now at Real Madrid, playing alongside Luca Modric and Casimero provides comfort to Real Madrid's game, but it's not uncommon for him to be plotted with other players and their results are always satisfying. That meant that indeed the quality of this Kross could not be doubted.
Next season will probably be the last season for him, and once again Real Madrid must lose a key player.

Kross and Modric's contracts expire next season and I haven't heard of any negotiations to extend their contracts. For Casemiro he still has two seasons on his contract and it is still possible to extend it considering he is still 30 years old, but I am not sure if the Madrid management still wants to extend Kross and Modric's contracts.

These three are Real Madrid's key players in midfield, they are players who keep Real Madrid in balance and when they leave I'm sure it will be difficult to find a replacement in such a short time. Valverdre, Camavinga and Cabellos don't look good enough to become regulars in midfield. But so far Ancelotti has given turns to the three players despite only half the match or full match.

Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are old players. But they are still giving a lot of stability to the Real Madrid squad in the midfield. I will actually be really happy if they end their career in Real Madrid. It will be really hard for Real Madrid to find a replacement for these two players especially. I don't know about Camavinga and Cabellos, but I think Federico Valverde has good potential and he can be a regular in the midfield.

[Coyster]

Toni Kroos definitely deserves the appreciations for him. He has been playing for Real Madrid since the 2014-2015 season. I don't remember any season that he was called like he performed badly. He has always been very solid in the midfield. He is aging maybe but this is still not affecting his performance very negatively. I'm saying this because I believe he can still maintain this performance when he leaves Real Madrid and joins a big team like them. Who knows maybe even Bayern Munich would like to have their old player back in the team then.  

I do not think Bayern Munich will be an option for Kroos should he decide to leave Madrid, i don't think he left Bayern in very good circumstances, but that is not the discussion here. Kroos has been solid from day one till now, a true Real Madrid legend, what i love most about him is how he goes about his business without too much fuss, just does his job smoothly. Having said that, Madrid's midfield is aging, with Kroos and Modric gradually coming to the end of their careers, but their replacements seem to already be in the team, in the persons of Tchouaméni and Camavinga, two very young and quality midfielders that look set to be the future of Real's midfield, it will be difficult to fill the boots of Modric and Kroos, but we hope they would be able to do it in time to come.

[zaki12]

I think that kroos who has been a mainstay of the madrid midfield realizes that he is no longer able to compete with madrid youth players and by reason of not wanting to be a burden to madrid certainly implies that he might take the decision to retire after his contract with madrid officially ends later

Real Madrid were shocked about Toni Kroos' decision not to renew his current contract but Real Madrid respect it. Real Madrid have made it clear that they are counting on him.
I agree with your opinion Toni Kroos doesn't want to be a burden at the club if his performances decline. Last season, Toni Kroos' performance went up and down, plus age and Madrid slowly started looking for a replacement.

It seems he will not return to playing football because indeed in several interviews he always said that Real Madrid was the last club he wanted to play for and he would most likely retire early as he said in the previous season that 33 years is the right time for him to hang up. shoes like his senior Philipp Lahm, who retired at the age of 33.

It can't be said that the age of 32 is a lot for football, Ronaldo is now 37 and he continues to perform at a high level. Moreover, Cross did not say that he would definitely end his career in the summer of 2023, everything will depend on how he feels on the field. On the other hand, I understand his desire to end his career, he achieved everything he wanted and now he can live in pleasure. Perhaps after a few years of rest, he will return to the world of football as a coach.

[Furious 7]

It's a shame, even though this player's role is very vital at Madrid, especially if you look at the several seasons he has done in Madrid, his role in flowing the ball is very good and he is one of the balancers between defense and attack for Madrid.
But if you look at some of the current statements, there are indications that he will retire early. Because there are some conversations that say that indeed katatua kroos will consider retiring at the age of 33 years.

Tony kroos deserves to be called a legend in real madrid, his service and contribution is very big for real madrid for what they have achieved in the last few seasons. maybe real madrid this season will lose Marcelo the best left-back and next season for sure toni kroos will leave too because his contract period is up. The issue of age may be a factor for any club to offer a new contract for a player, but I don't think Toni Kroos would choose to retire too early.

But if we look at some news and some kroos statements long before this season even from 2020 or 2021 the indications are very strong I think.
He wants to do the same as Bayern legend Lahm who retired at the same age.
In terms of age, he is indeed very young and his performance is still showing good things and can even compete at big clubs but when the decision was taken by himself, I don't think anyone could stop him from leaving the football scene at such an early age.
Hopefully this is not true because if it is true that he will retire then indeed we will definitely lose one of the professors in passing in football because the passes he makes are great.

Trough have been 8 years with Real Madrid Toni Kroos always showed his top performance on Real Madrid midfielder, almost every season Kroos never has bad performance and always become regular player with Modric and Casemiro as trio midfielder. I think he still become priority nidfielder for Real Madrid next season but he has great competitor after Real Madrid success get young player from AS Monaco Aurélien Tchouaméni. He has many competitor for next season on Real Madrid midfielder, will he still get regular poaition on Real Madrid midfielder or he loss chance with arrived Aurélien Tchouaméni and replace his poaition.

It is true that I had read several articles in the local media about Toni desire to retire at Real Madrid. In terms of his game on the field in the previous season I thought he would agree to extend the new contract offered by the madrid management but in fact he held on to his stance not to extend the contract period for the next 1 or 2 seasons. From the accuracy of his passing, there is no doubt about his ability, either in Laliga or in the Champions League, he always manages to do quite well or it can be said that his passing accuracy is above 90%.

He has retired from the German National Team and now he is also busy ending his career at Real Madrid although it is still not certain whether he wants to find a new club or does he want to retire early from club level.
But as a football lover I expect him not to stop so soon because his age is still very productive and even Madrid still want to extend his contract but on the other hand this could be a decision for him too so there is no reason to ban him.
He has already got what he wants in the National Team as well as the Club and he wants to end this on a good note because he has already won La Liga and the Champions League.

[Pokapoka124]

Tony kroos amongst other names at Real madrid has become a very important figure and player in the park, playing in the midfield role with co stars in the likes of Luka Modric and Casemiro. I wouldn't say he is too old to olay, it's his decision to retire we see players retiring at early age. Indeed he will be missed so much if he decides to retire now but Real madrid are already planning for this departures bringing in young players to fill in those positions.

yes, Kroos has been a fixture in the Madrid team for years. I find this very striking though. There is, to my knowledge, no other top German footballer who plays for Barcelona or Madrid. Not even in recent years. Or maybe not in the past 10-20 years. How come Kroos didn't just live in Germany at Bayern Munich or Dortmund? There must be a reason. Maybe he enjoys the nice weather in Spain too much. But even without Kroos, Madrid would still have good midfielders. Modric is also invaluable every season. Would we see Ronaldo again at Madrid?

[snipie]

The La Liga calendar has been announced and both Real Madrid and Barcelona have quite easy games in the first round scheduled mid August. In fact I find almost all games in this first round to have a clear favourite.
El classico will be played in October 16 and March 19.

When a player is not going to extend his contact with his own club we have too much rumor's and talk about this player even he is having this just for taking some more time and want to check his performance or having any personal reason it's same happening right now in Tony kroos case he is very effective player for Real Madrid for many years and management is still had full faith in his performance which is very important for player but still if he needs to take sometime then surely we have to respect his decision and wait for next movement.

It's all not going like Robert Lewandowski case where he wants to do some different and leaving his club, sometime we have money case, and sometimes we have few other reasons as well.

Agree. Kroos and Modric are irreplaceable for many years, they are always the main midfielders in Real Madrid. Without Kroos-Modric, Real Madrid midfielders will greatly decrease in strength. I think it will be too early if Real Madrid needs to lose Kroos or Modric, although they already have Valverde or Camavinga. Valverde and Camavinga are good players, but they still don't have a lot of experience as Kroos-Modric. They still need to learn from Kroos-Modric for at least 1-2 years again.

Good to hear about the fixtures been released, last El Clasico saw Real Madrid winning the first round and Barcelona winning the second half. I felt since Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won't be amongst the El Clasico, there is no need watching. But damn! The El Classico is one in a million. Very sure Xavi Hernandez will get a trophy to the catalian side this season.

[tygeade]

Barcelona should realize that now the stability of the club is more important for them to think about than looking for expensive players, if barcelona continues to force themselves to recruit expensive players then it will only worsen their financial condition later, barcelona should be able to do the same like this season, namely taking advantage of the existing squad and looking for some free players who will not burden their finances, even though this season Barcelona failed to win the trophy but in my opinion Xavi managed to get Barcelona back up and their become competitors in La Liga only with the existing players and I think they can do it again next season.

What we are missing is that if they end up with a bad team, just to save some money, and have bad results then they are going to not make enough money and can't pay their debt back. I get that spending a lot of money on expensive players is a bad idea when you have debt, but dropping your revenue that much is also a bad idea, I would prefer to spend 50 million and be in the same debt as not spending it but earn 50 million less revenue because I suck.

Barcelona needs to find that right balance where they are spending just enough, but earning more than that from the wins so that they would be making a profit. Not an easy thing to do, but quite possible.

That's great, laliga will be so interesting next season,  I guess many are anticipating to see how real madrid and Barcelona will look like in the next season. Other teams in the laliga league may not be a challenge to Real Madrid and Barcelona,  the competition is between Real Madrid and Barcelona,  Barcelona we try to do their best next season.

Real Madrid had a great season and the fact that other teams was in crisis cannot detract from Real excellent performance and results.

I wonder how can he called himself as a fan of Real Madrid but he thought that the victory by Real Madrid is lucky 
Real Madrid won the victory and championships not only once, it has been many times. Why? because the team really deserves for the trophy. The team has stronger and more solid squad, management, coaches, and also strategy than others. Moreover if we see the statistics. real Madrid performance is always great.

It is good to know that Real Madrid and Barcelona probably get easy points in the early season. I want to see Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla can be in the top 5 since the beginning of the season. So, we will see a tight competition for the top position, they will try to win every match with as many goals as possible. Anyway, it is interesting to see the El Classico schedule in October, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough time to prepare for the big match. Let's hope we will see an entertaining match from both teams.
