La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Barcelona always surprises even in the transfer market this season. Barcelona is rumored to be experiencing a financial crisis but in fact the players who are brought in are always those who have high prices with high quality as well. and many players from other clubs who want to get into barcelona. like jules kounde. even though chelsea has cast a high bid of 55 million pounds. but the sevilla and jules kounde have not provided clarity to chelsea. but now circulating that the sevilla have given a positive sign to barcelona. that is ready to accept the proposal of personal terms.

The diplomacy carried out by the management of Barca and Xavi to get great players who currently fill the Barca squad really deserves a thumbs up. chelsea (who are competing for kounde too) will definitely be very upset with barca for losing the competition for kounde.  barca must be able to get the trophy back (la league and even UCL) so that all the struggles they put in to earn money, pay off.

Yes indeed they have to get achievements that can pay for everything they do in this transfer market, if they don't get achievements, at least their performance changes significantly. If they are still the same as last season, then I can say they failed in this transfer market, despite the quality players they brought in for a lot of money.

I paid attention to the odds with which bookmakers accept bets on the next champion in La Liga:

RealMadrid 2.05

Barcelona 2.35

Atletico Madrid 6.30

Sevilla 18.50

Real is quoted more than 2! LOL. In my opinion, this is easy money. I would bet even if the odds were 1.6-1.7. The only thing that stops me is the deadline for the execution of the bet.

That's right, it's easy money and it's quite tempting for now.
I don't know why this is one of the interesting things in betting because if we look at it from a readiness perspective, 2.05 is very big in my opinion.
I will save some of my money in gambling this season in Madrid because even though the season hasn't started yet, it's still worth it to do.

The match was quite interesting. Doesn't look like a friendly match at all. Both teams display seriousness like the official El Clasico match.
90 minutes on, tackling tackles look the same. Robert Lewandowski looked solid with the team in this match and Real Madrid had to admit Barcelona's victory with a goal scored by their newest signing, Raphinha.

Great game, just like playing in the league. I'm here to see Busquet, he's so tough that he even had an argument with Rodygo because of Vinicius, who was violated by Jordi Alaba. In addition there are five yellow cards of which four belong to barca. Busquet also had time to beat Modric, and was pulled out replaced by Nico Gonzalez. Indeed Busquet is one of the senior players there, maybe he wants to set an example for other players to always be serious in matches.

Barcelona are likely to keep Frenkie de Jong in the team now. However there are so many midfielders in the squad at the same time. I don't know whether they are thinking of finding a solution for this. Having too many alternatives in the team can cause some of those players to get really sad in time. This would cause serious in-team problems. I hope that Xavi has plans about this topic and they can sell some players while buying too.

On the other hand I heard that Barcelona will cut Frenkie de Jong's salary. It would be tough for the players in my opinion if the situation was like this, unless De Jong was willing and preferred loyalty to Barcelona. We know that Barcelona's spending in this transfer market is quite expensive, because their financial situation is also not good. Let's wait for the final decision of this player.

Just look at this! Barcelona are really close to stealing Jules Kounde as well from Chelsea's hands.    Fabrizio Romano said that the player is likely to be prepared to agree personal terms with Barcelona. There is still no update about the Chelsea side. It is just really difficult to understand how this can happen. I mean that Barcelona have like an unlimited amount of money at the moment. I guess that they will sign him for a price like €50-60m. Their financial condition is getting worse while adding strong players to the team.

Actually such a fuss is good for both teams, especially since the tension in the match is quite high. They play like El Clasico for a big competition (Laliga or Champions League) but it's just a friendly match. Lol

I see the Barcelona players now have a good mentality against a big team like Real Madrid, it's different before when many junior players seem to prefer to give up when there is a fuss. But now Barcelona are brave enough and this kind of mental toughness is good for all players because it can help them never to be afraid of their opponents when they play. They managed to beat Real Madrid, and that is a good result.

The concept of Barcelona this season is to keep buying and not letting players go
They now have a lot of players in midfield and attacking positions but indeed they seem reluctant to let go of players even though there are already several clubs who want their players to be brought in.
But indeed for De Jong there is still uncertain in my opinion even though there is hope for him to be in the core Line Up but things like this can still be another consideration for Xavi.

Actually with such high tension, we can't tell if it's a friendly match or a real el clasico where both clubs want to beat each other. The most striking difference is from the players who are fielded, especially from Real Madrid. They didn't field the full squad, not even a Benzema was seen on the bench. I can't wait to see how they play in the competition.

Barcelona seems to be an enemy for Chelsea in the transfer market this summer, every player who is included in Chelsea's target list, Barcelona also appears there and actually wins the hunt with Chelsea. Chelsea heat tension increased after Raphinha and Lewandowski chose to join Barcelona, ​​Chelsea first made an offer to Leeds.  In fact, the Leeds accepted a 60 million pounds proposal made by Chelsea. But Barcelona came with an offer to Leeds and finally completed the transfer of Raphinha. The same case also happened to Lewandowski, Chelsea tried to open up opportunities to buy Lewandowski, because Lewandowski would be used as an ideal replacement for Lukaku, again Barcelona became the mastermind behind Chelsea's failure to get the player he wanted.

Now Kounde is reportedly getting closer to Barcelona, ​​while Chelsea have been approaching Kounde for a long time. Chelsea made an offer of 55 million pounds to Sevilla. However, according to the sources above, Kounde is ready to accept an offer from Barcelona and the club is discussing the structure of his transfer payment with Sevilla. Again Chelsea had to swallow the bitter pill that Barcelona gave.

[püsür]

La Liga is getting more exciting with Lewandowski's transfer to Barcelona. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona will become even higher this season. Tactically, Xavi is a very different genius. He is a coach who adds huge advantages to Barcelona. After arriving last year, Barcelona showed itself at a higher level. I would love to see a solid battle for top scorer between Lewandowski and Benzema. Of course, I don't know if Benzema will be able to perform as well as he did in the previous season. However, his playing style last season did not seem like his performance would decline quickly. If Lewandowski comes and becomes the top scorer in La Liga, it would be great.

[Falconer]

Barcelona is very synonymous with big transfers, every player brought in by Barcelona always has an above average price.

Prices above average, what does that mean?
But yes, they may have had a number of expensive transfers in the past.

In the transfer market this time Barcelona is still not satisfied with the players who have been successfully brought in, Barcelona management is still trying to bring in Kounde to strengthen the team in the defense sector. I think this time Barcelona didn't choose the wrong players they brought in, their presence in the squad can help improve Barcelona's performance.

Their few transfers so far have looked good as their performance improvements have been great. Raphinha played well during pre-season and he also scored goals. Then from that, Lewandowski is also a good transfer to be expected to make a big contribution to Barcelona this season. Although I'm not a fan, but honestly Barcelona this season will be better.

It now looks like the deal for this youngster is about to reach its final stages for Barcelona and it is hard to believe that given their current state, they can still sign a few more players for their squad.
Now even if we look at some related news about this it is reported that Jules Kounde's name is indeed ready to be printed in the official Barcelona store.

[vennali]

Real Madrid's window is not yet closed and a lot more movement should be expected in the coming days. The club awaits the departures of Ceballos, Mariano, Mayoral or Asensio. If two of them leave, Los Blancos will reinforce the attack with new players coming in.

[Tony116]

When Raphinha and Lewandowski officially join, Ancelotti already understand the situation that would occur in the rival between the two clubs. Although Madrid have not been involved much in transfer rumors this season but I believe Carlo Ancelotti is preparing something for Madrid, it's hard to believe they haven't done anything behind Barcelona's rapid development. But on the other hand I have a thought, Madrid's achievements last season satisfied the coach and maybe that's one of the reasons they haven't made too many changes to the line-up because Ancelotti still believes in his current squad.

Ancelotti have said it earlier that they won't be doing any more further signings after Rudiger deal completed so yeah he does believe in the squad he had. Just two additions and I think they have got a real strong squad there. Regarding yesterday's loss, it was just one goal and it came off after Rudiger made a mistake but overall Madrid did well out there holding Barca. I still think Madrid are still better than Barca even with all the additions.

It's the most impressive team Madrid could have fielded for the coming season, and I believe he's right. And it also feels like they don’t have any problems in any specific area. So they will be the strongest team entering the next season. Obviously, they will be the most competitive team in La Liga, as well as a formidable competitor in the Champions League. In the Champions League, Real Madrid will undoubtedly have a lot of competition but in La Liga, I think Barcelona will be the only viable competition for them. And yes, Real Madrid is better than Barcelona right now since Barcelona's defense has not improved in the transfer market.

So even though the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is going to be intense, Barcelona will eventually need to win more matches than Real Madrid. This is so that even if they lose against Real Madrid it will not have a huge effect on their standings.

What is happening? I have no idea how Barcelona is managing this amount of money. Honestly, they should not be able to have this amount of money. I am now really scared of what is about to happen if Barcelona does not do well in the upcoming season.

I really don’t understand how they are managing to bring in players at this much cost. This is when they had to get rid of the leading player in the world only almost 11 months ago. However, this is obviously good for the team, as Barcelona needed this player to make the team more competitive, and Koundé is going to help them strengthen their defense, which they actually needed.

If they are still the same as last season, then I can say they failed in this transfer market, despite the quality players they brought in for a lot of money.

I think if they do not get big achievements, it will be a very bad ending for them. They already took so much trouble to reach to this point, and their income will be much lower for a long time. Which means that they need to win the league and also go further in the UCL instead of being eliminated from the UCL and then from Europa as well.

This is why if they could be like at least semi finals of UCL and win the league and the cup type of team, then they would be fine, because that difference would be bigger than the last years situation and the tv rights combined. This is why they made a good decision if they end up having great results all season, for many seasons in a row.

The rumours about Messi to return to Barcelona doesn't reflect the reality for me. Because there is no way Barcelona are meeting his demands after these transfers and being in such a bad financial condition. They should just stop making things worse for themselves. Laporta just leaved the door open for Messi by making a statement but I hope that they don't make a move and mess up things more. Barcelona's current squad is good enough to be able to do nice things.

What do you mean? Messi's return won't be too bad for the team I think, but only if their financial situation improves, even if it's a year from now. I think Leo himself would very much like to finish his career at Barcelona, probably why the door to this team is not closed to him. And in principle he has a pretty good relationship with the management and the team
