La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

The "big budget" is a big fake and not reality. They haven't even paid salaries of certain players to strong-arm them on leaving. So, all they are doing right now is the fact that they are running away from responsibility and nothing more. They will have to face the harsh reality that they do not have any money left, and it will come sooner than later. This is why I hate financial part of football but it is the biggest part of it for sure.

So far I have not heard of Barcelona players suing the club for arrears in wages or not paying their salaries. The news of the salary arrears has been heard to the media crew, but both parties have agreed to the agreement that has been agreed so that this case does not go to court. De Jong whose wages have not been paid in part refused to leave Barcelona, ​​even though if De Jong chose to join Manchester United he would earn more than what he earned at Barcelona.
Barcelona do not run away from responsibility, they will settle the case of salary arrears internally between the club and the player, so far Barcelona has received an injection of funds from sponsors and the sale of 10% of their broadcasting rights for the club's needs, the condition has improved for at least one year later.

We shouldn't take friendly games too seriously. Because we don't see the real strength of teams in games like these. It was still nice to watch an unofficial El Clasico of course.    I'm looking forward to watching Real Madrid and Barcelona especially in this season. I hope to see a big competition between these teams for the league championship. Barcelona have improved their game and squad both a lot. They should be able to challenge hard for being the champions.

A friendly match is only a trial, there is nothing serious in it, winning or losing does not mean anything, because a friendly match is not an official competition. Real Madrid's loss to Barcelona is a natural thing, and there is nothing to be proud of from Barcelona. El Clasico will actually occur in an official La Liga match, the tension of the match is much higher than the friendly match. We will soon see who will be the best between these two teams after strengthening his team in the transfer market.

Even if friendlies are not be taken seriously, it's still a determiner to checking how well a team has developed. This is not the first El clasico between the two and it's always interesting to watch them.
 There is definitely no doubt that even if Real Madrid lost to Barca, they put up a good fight. New signing, Raphina opened the score sheet for Barca and to be honest, they would have scored more if the opportunity had presented itself.
Maybe, this season can see Xavi and his men claiming the first position.

I even see that the abilities of the two teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona) are now on par again so it is very possible if for example Barcelona can be in first place next season and I will not be so surprised because in Barcelona there are already some good players who can relied on by Xavi in the next season. And I am sure that the duel between the two will be even more exciting next season in La Liga.

Usually in this trial match each team will joke and not give a serious performance because they think the actual strategy is read and can be dangerous when in a real match it will be difficult to beat it, if you look at the Barcelona team has a very terrible strength, so if real madrid struggles to hold on to its position and loses against Barcelona nothing surprising.

Barcelona have spent more than 100 million euros to bring in new players, even though Barcelona is in an unstable financial condition, it shows
Barcelona's seriousness to return to dominate La Liga next season. There is a possibility that Barcelona are also eyeing the Champions League trophy,
but if it's true that Barcelona can win trophies next season I won't be surprised. Because Barcelona have many quality players that Xavi can use
to win trophies next season.

I am a little surprised by the movement of Real Madrid in the transfer market, it seems Real Madrid are too confident with the current squad.
Even though Real Madrid should have brought in some new players, especially Real Madrid need a wing back to be able to strengthen the defense,
and also Real Madrid need substitute from Benzema. Moreover, Luka Jovic has moved to Fiorentina, it is impossible with a busy schedule to force
Benzema to be played in all competitions. Benzema's risk of injury is very high, I hope Real Madrid realize the importance of signing a new striker.

I don't think so, if they are thinking if playing for friendly match is not important, so why we need to accept any friendly match? Of course this is not a competition, but from this preseason match coach can see the weakness of his strategy and how the players must played on the field. This is not about a trophy but to see the strategy, adaptation, weakness and strength before the real competitions running. New players need pre-season match to being adapt with their new team. Everything in friendly match is important, not like what you think. IMO.

Yes, it's actually a friendly match to see how their squad plays, with the addition of new players, and the loss of players who used to be mainstays, it's all seen from here. Regardless of who wins or loses, but here their strengths and weaknesses are prioritized, I agree with that. In addition, this is an opportunity for young players to show their abilities if they get a chance to play.

It's important or not, it's an inevitable difference, but about friendly matches, basically, it's just to look at the readiness of the players themselves and also some of the strategies applied. However, a friendly match will not be used as a benchmark for an actual assessment. For example, in a friendly match Barcelona won and Real Madrid lost and thus, these results will not be used as a benchmark when they play in the real league. But even so, the friendly match remains an important agenda because if it is not important, then not many clubs are willing to undergo it.

[tulusikhlas]

I feel that we should not get too excited for Barcelona just yet, because they don’t have the funds necessary to register the new player’s they have signed, and unless they sell some player’s or all their new signings take massive pay cuts they can’t use these player’s. Lastly while Real Madrid is strong I expected them to further strengthen during this transfer window, but they haven’t made any big purchases and I wonder if it’ll harm them as the season progresses.

Yes I personally still don't expect much from Barcelona now, not their game but their ability to finance next season. Game-wise I have more faith in them, but financially I still have doubts. Because I think the finances in one team will greatly affect the team's journey. Like it or not, it will always be a crucial factor.

No, I do not agree with this. A match can be a friendly match but the motive of playing the game is usually very important to both teams, a friendly match is used to determine the strength of the teams, the form and improvements of the players, the readiness of the team, and finally the practical display of the current tactics of the team by each player. Winning may not just be the most important thing in a friendly match but winning and putting up a great performance by any team is always considered in a friendly match because it shows that the team is ready to face any opponent in any competitionn.

especially after a long holiday at the end of the season. Of course, this pre-season or friendly match is quite important for every team. In addition to coordinating all the best squads, friendly matches can also help players who have just joined the team to show their quality. some players need time to get into the old squad game. and this is good to do before the new season starts.

And I am sure that the duel between the two will be even more exciting next season in La Liga.

In yesterday pre-season or el classico match, it seemed that barcelona looked quite solid and could be said to have performed better than before, the presence of Rapinha and lewandowski has increased the intensity of barcelona's attacks to be better and varied at this time, I think if in the future barcelona is able to create chemistry between players old and new of course barcelona can be a better title challenger than madrid, but in this case we also can't doubt the capacity of madrid as a team that has a champions mentality and we don't know how much strength madrid next season even though pre-season didn't go well for them at the moment.

[3meek]

Indeed Barcelona look to have improved significantly in their defense and midfield, but don't forget that Real Madrid have a proven midfield creator who has led them to success. Casemiro, Modric and Kroos are undisputed midfield generals. It is a weapon for Real Madrid, and up front there are Benzema and Vinicius ready to finish the attack. I think Real Madrid is still more effective than Barcelona for now.

Effectively it is still superior to Real Madrid for now, but Barcelona has improved sharply when it has managed to recruit some very good new players at this time and I am sure that Barcelona also has strengths that are not much different from Real Madrid. Although there are still many people who are favorites for Real Madrid to win in La Liga next season.

I feel that we should not get too excited for Barcelona just yet, because they don’t have the funds necessary to register the new player’s they have signed, and unless they sell some player’s or all their new signings take massive pay cuts they can’t use these player’s.

What's wrong with them not making any serious purchases? Barcelona did quite well last season with their current squad... Under the leadership of Xavi, they got great results... So I think next season we will see a rivalry between Real and Barca again!

There was still a lot of heat on the match between this two in their el clasico . A derby is a derby there will always be heat between big rivals. Also i think this season will be really intresting in laliga for the title. Barcelona never looked better in last 10 years

Since the golden era when xavi was still playing in barcelona has gone and it has become the new era for barcelona. I remember when that golden time was happening. I hope that if any team will be equal. A very strict competition will be a very very interesting thing in la liga. It's not only aboue el clasico but the whole team in the la liga must have made very good improvements during the transfer seasons. This to prove that if la liga was very competitive as good as epl.
The dual between barca and real will be very interesting

We will see the best at the end of the season. It's not now! My opinion would be that Barcelona's 2022 summer transfer window are decent enough to make a serious threat next season in La Liga. Barca's new signings will ensure success in the long run, so let's wait and see what happens. We can't say anything early about FC Barcelona's side following its rivalry with Real Madrid since they haven't even played one game together yet.

In my personal opinion, although it is only a friendly match and only titled pre-season, both teams will definitely maximize this opportunity to measure each other's strengths and the coach also tries new tactics to prepare for the official competition and the coach also takes this. friendly opportunity to see new players join the team. The club and their coaches also give their youth academy players the opportunity to show their skills on the pitch, as Pep Guardiola did for their young player Wilson Esbrand, even Pep Guardiola said he was very impressed with Wilson Esbrand's performance in pre-season. , even Pep Guardiola intends to promote Wilson Esbrand in the senior squad this season.

Yes, it's true, that friendly matches are very important for the development of the players and the club itself. Because here they can evaluate the existing shortcomings, because in friendly matches the priority is their shortcomings. And not infrequently also in matches like this the teams apply a strategy that is actually not their main strategy.

apart from being a means to finalize strategy, friendly matches can also be a means for coaches to test the application of new formations and also to see how the quality of new players is, friendly matches are of course needed to be able to evaluate the team and apply it when the league match starts, I I think a lot of coaches might try experimenting at this point before actually finding the right formula later.

We all know that Barcelona is facing a financial crisis, but it doesn't seem like a problem for them to be very active in the transfer window. I don't know where the funds used to sign new players come from and how they will register all those new players, but what is clear is that Barcelona has made very good preparations for this season, and of course, that makes them one of the strong candidates for the title winner.
