La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[X-ray]

Yes it is true El Clasico matches are always interesting, but I feel it has decreased a bit lately, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonel Messi are no longer there. But now there's something interesting again after the reshuffle by Barcelona and also the young players from Real Madrid who were adamant in their last game.

Regeneration was a must, the team can't always rely with the two players like messi and ronaldo which become even older every year. Their stamina was actually become different from year to the another year.
The battle is not about personal but it's the game for the club with so many players on it. I think that people who always think about ronaldo and messi can't move on from them.

The new team already born again for both real and barcelona. There will always be interesting battle between both.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona was already very fierce before Messi and Ronaldo and I don't think it will have a big impact on the high tension of El Clasico even without these two players, every game when these two teams meet always shows an interesting match and with high tension.
and for next season I think El Clasico will be much better than the previous season because for now Barcelona are fixing their squad to be stronger next season and that is of course to compete more tightly with Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy.

Apart from that I hope Barcelona quickly resolve the problems they are still facing. Because it is undeniable that the problems that befell them slightly lower their performance so that it also affects the El Clasico match. Now Barcelona still cannot say that they are done with their problems. Even with their activeness in the transfer market, it might also have an impact on them going forward.

I think from the look of things Barcelona wants Memphis Depay to leave the club. I don't think the striker has declared his interest in joining Juventus who are considering securing the signature of a good striker for the team right now but the way the FC Barcelona boss Xavi has structured the team right now, with Lewandosski in the team Depay has no place in the team again so he will likely leave the team before the dead line of the transfer window.

Not place available for Memphis Depay and actually Barcelona ask him leave in this season and hope have new club want to pay higher values transfer, after arriving Lewandowski, I think Depay can't get regular position again when still Koeman as manager, right now most drastically different condition where Depay always as substitute player. Have Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Dembele, Ansu Fati and Gavi make Depay will face difficulty get regular position on next season. Keep get chance with Netherland on World Cup 2022 Qatar I think better for Depay leaving Barcelona and find team will guarantee minutes playing.

[Alanaz]

From a player perspective, it seems that Barcelona are now looking to win the title again after a few seasons of their absence to win the title because a major reshuffle occurred when Xavi took office, even though it seemed that they did not care about their financial condition.
But obviously in this case Madrid are one step ahead because regardless of now Madrid are starting to regenerate their players and this means their aim is not only for the short term but the long term.

After few poor seasons now Barcelona is doing amazing job even they are in deep trouble with their finances and having salary issues as well with few high salary players which can create deep troubles for them in coming days but with this all they have no intention doing their business for bringing more star players for their next season title which is still not guaranteed because just having star players are never been won for any like as we have few examples and there is no doubt Real Madrid is having much better and strong squad even they are not going for stars in their team but good coaching tactics and amazing planning giving them good success coming season is not easy for both teams, but Barcelona is surely strong but Real Madrid is going with few good advantages.

It seems that for this season the title to look for high-priced players is definitely the upside because back then especially in the Ronaldo era, Raul and even Figo Madrid were always said to be a club with instant players and didn't want to make stages with young players but it seems now it's turned around to Barcelona
Now it's just a matter of whether they will succeed with their current plan by including a lot of great players and of course with a big salary there, or they will fail and make them even more screwed.

[Falconer]

I agree with you, the stability of the Real Madrid squad has been proven by their success in the last season, while Barcelona has just started a new project after a bad period that befell them. After the movement in the transfer market by bringing in top players, Barcelona is considered capable of rivaling Real Madrid or even the squad that Barcelona has now exceeded the strength of the Real Madrid squad. But they "the newly signed players"
need to adapt to Barcelona style of play, while the squad that Real Madrid has is very solid.
However, Real Madrid need to be aware of the rise of Barcelona, ​​the squad owned by Barcelona is not only able to undermine Real Madrid dominance in El Clasico, but will be a threat in the fight for the title.

I wouldn't worry too much about that possibility this season because to be honest Barcelona are a good team too in Laliga. Real Madrid last season were without a challenger and they were dominant at the top of the table until the end of the season, but Barcelona's success in improving their form should be quite positive for Laliga because Real Madrid will not run alone anymore.

The title chances for Real Madrid are almost the same every season, so I don't think it will decrease just because Barcelona have improved. El Clasico is much more interesting because of it, and I hope it's really tense throughout the season.

They want 20 million Euros for a player they signed for free
Leaving is one of the things he has to do instead of staying in uncertainty which will surely make his name dim when he is constantly on the bench.
In this case, several clubs seem to have started to be interested in signing this player, but it might be a little difficult considering that the transfer of Barcelona players sometimes takes a lot of time to negotiate.

[Zackgeno96]

Depay only came to Barcelona because Koeman wanted to, but yes that coach had mismanagement and was a bad coach. Xavi would never have made it to Depay. They would like to get rid of Depay, but of course they still want to receive some money from him. I don't know if 20 million is a realistic amount. He is not a top striker, but 20 million could still be done. Barcelona should focus on setting up their defense as they are all busy with the attacking part in Barcelona. Maybe they'll play without defense.

Unfortunately, inded Depay was not included in Xavi and Barcelona plans, wherever he goes whether it's Juventus or other is the best choice for him than having to sit on the bench a lot. Barcelona defense I think is strong enough for bringing in Kounde, he's a very capable and talented defender. Maybe Barcelona must sell at least 3 or 4 players to stabilize the financial sheet.

[Pulsar77]

I don't think that Xavi has big plans for Memphis Depay in the team now. He has reached his goal by signing Lewandowski already and Depay is just going to be his second choice in case he stays. I think that it would be better for him to leave the team sooner or later. There is an interest from Tottenham and Juventus. He should take the probable offers seriously from this solid teams. As long as they meet his demands I don't expect Barcelona to make things harder.

[sana54210]

What Barcelona need are key players like at Real Madrid. Benzema is an undisputed key player and if it weren't for Benzema, I'm sure Real Madrid would be the same as Barcelona last season.
Lewandowski's presence in my opinion will change Barcelona and Lewandowski's sharpness is undeniable, even though he is 33 years old, one year older than Benzema who is 34 years old. But I'm sure both of them will put on a very good and interesting performance in the upcoming El Clasico.
and By Xavu Hernandez, Robert Lewandowski will be included in Barcelona's game scheme to serve Real Madrid. The composition of the trio of Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Aubameyang could be the best choice on the front lines.

Having a goal machine is definitely important, but not the make or break for a team that you think would be. PSG has Mbappe who is one of the best strikers in the current game, and yet he failed to be like that when it comes to UCL. Because, you need a whole team that could hold their own when the game matters which PSG failed and Madrid did it.

Between rodrigo, vinicius, veterans like kroos and modric, and top of it all of one of the greatest goalkeeping games ever, Benzema only had to score and he was given the chance to by others with great passes. Lewandowski could be great, and he has proved that so far, but he could end up not scoring a lot if the team doesn't give him the ball at the time he wants it like he is used to in Bayern.

Well it would be smart that Memphis Depay leaves Barcelona and finds a club where he would be the main player and actully play . But with him staying in Barcelona he would need to wait for a chance to play. A good move for him would be to move to Tottenham but those are just rumours

[ingiltere]

I wasn't expecting Sevilla to play that bad but that friendly against Arsenal was a disaster for them. It was a bad last rehearsal before the new season. They had drawn with equal teams in the previous friendlies and beat a weak opponent like Angers with plenty of goals, but the Arsenal match gave very bad signals. They saw that they had to go a long way in terms of both defense and attack. In the new season, the realistic target will be to finish at the top three, but it seems difficult in its current form.

In my opinion, it is a must to leave because he will have no chance to play this season. Barcelona has Lewandowski and Aubameyang, these stickers will be always the main option for Barcelona front-line players. If Depay cares about his career, he must find a club where he can play regularly there. I think moving to Tottenham isn't a good idea since they already have enough strikers. Depay must choose a club that has a lack of strikers, Chelsea can be a good option if they are interested to sign Depay.

In this case actually some time ago there was some speculation about him and Juventus but it looks like this has to go away because indeed Juventus are now in the final settlement process with Zaniolo.
Maybe Tottenham can still bring him even though it's also a bit difficult for him.
But seriously, as you said if he really cares about his career then he should leave as soon as possible from the Camp Nou.

Finally La Liga season starts today. I expect that this season will be very interesting and Barca won't win so easy like last year. Real maybe didn't looked impressive in friendly matches, but with Hazard they are more paowerful obviously and they only need some time. Atletico lost Griezmann, but they made serious rebuld during summer and now their squad looks very interesting.
First match of this season is very interesting. Athletic at San Mames always been difficult opponent for Barca, Messi aren't going to play, so, it's going to be tough.
I joined free pool, but so far there is only 2 players :/
P.S. Lke most here probably noticed, I'm hardcore Barca fan. Visca Catalunya! Visca Barca!

Yes bro I agree with you that today is the first day of La Liga. However, all the clubs are very strong, this time Barca club is a little weak in the previous position. Real Madrid has become a very strong club that has taken other clubs by surprise. But this time the club's game will be very fighting which you will be able to enjoy the games with a lot of joy.

Arsenal are on fire the coordination between the attacking players was felt.
Gabriel will be contesting for the Golden ball and also a spot in Brazil squad.
Arsenal are sharp now like a double edge squad can they win the league ?

[Velvet78]

The season is almost starting. I have checked the games ahead and I have seen that one of the biggest games of the league is going to be played on Week 6 between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. When it comes to the first week I don't see very tough games for especially Barcelona and Real Madrid. I think they both would start strongly to this season. I'm going to watch especially Lewandowski closely. His adaptation process can even be the most important thing for Barcelona now.

But now there's something interesting again after the reshuffle by Barcelona and also the young players from Real Madrid who were adamant in their last game.

The excitement may be different, but the exciting level of El Clasico is still not much changed from before even though there will be differences between now and next season.
Because I also like to see Lewandowski versus Benzema when there is an El Clasico match, and besides that next season El Clasico matches are the matches that are often awaited by most people.

It was very memorable when Ronaldo was still strengthening Real Madrid and Messi was still with Barcelona, El Clasico at that time was very
entertaining to see the competition between Messi and Ronaldo defending their respective teams. For now, El Clasico has a different taste,
but it's still very interesting to watch. Because until whenever the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will always be interesting
for us to follow. Because both teams do have an extraordinary history, especially after Barcelona brought in many new players, it gives a new
sense of competition in El Clasico. Now we will look at the rivalry of Benzema and Lewandowski, have ages that are not much different, and both
are very productive in scoring goals. That's why I always wait for El Clasico matches, because there are definitely many interesting things that
will happen.
