La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[snipie]

Sevilla played vs Arsenal in Emirates Cup and the result was catastrophic, 6 for the gunners and 0 for Sevilla. I don't see any excuses for such result regardless of how important or not that game is.. Quite bad start for Sevilla vs a serious opponent.
Barcelona is currently having a game vs NY Red Bulls and Real Madrid will play vs Juventus in a couple of hours. Interesting game for Real before the starting of the season.

The next question is, will some players survive the pay cut? Or are these many players' purchases really worth the payoff? Because after all, Barcelona is still not out of the financial crisis. Although they may use some strategies to face financial problems.

Cutting players' wages is not the solution to the financial problem. When they signed the contract with Barcelona the players had a clearly stated amount of money they should be paid, in this case the team is in breach of the terms. How the players tolerate this I cannot understand because it is nonsense. You could tell the players to play for free...

This is like making a solution to another problem, so there is no exact solution to cutting their salary, this is only for a moment, a matter of time. No matter what, if they're still there, they may ask for an increased salary during the season, moreover if they know that they have made some winnings.
Buying so many players is risky for Barcelona, we know that one of the financial problems faced right now is also because of the high previous purchases without considering whether the purchase is exactly needed or not at that time. that is one of the problems, added with some other complicated problems inside of the management.
Now, we just can wait and see how they can face this financial problem so that all players stay in the club and strengthen the squad, and the Barcelona club itself will not suffer losses and eliminate the financial crisis it faces. Btw, they are also now considering selling some of their players, aren't they?

By the way, one of the things I don't understand. Why not just sell a few players and solve at least part of your financial problems? I'm sure there are players in the team who are definitely not needed and play very little for the main squad, but the club still pay their salaries. By selling two or three of these players Barcelona could already get at least 50 million.

This should be very interesting. El Clasico is indeed a little less interesting in this regard after losing Pepe, Sergio, Ronaldo to Madrid. and Messi, Neymar and Villa at Barcelona (My Version). because several seasons after some of these players disappeared indirectly there is no intrigue that is presented in El Clasico although it is still worth seeing.
Now Lewandowski as a high goal productivity player in the Bundesliga is coming and could be considered a challenge to Benzema in this season's top scorer and this will definitely ignite a rivalry that has not been seen for a long time.

What you say is not wrong, but next season's El Clasico will also be no less interesting to watch with the presence of Lewandowski at Barcelona which will make a long-lost rivalry visible again next season. I'm sure Barcelona fans will be even more excited next season because Barcelona's front line is better than before and will also try to present a fiercer competition next season.

El Clasico is always interesting to watch regardless of who is in the Real Madrid and Barcelona squad, the rivalry between the two La Liga giants has been going on for a long time, the match between the two always presents high tension. El Clasico is not only about 3 points, but the pride of the team is also at stake, the team that wins the match can be proud because the media continues to present the results of this match for days. Barcelona's transformation in the transfer market will make El Clasico even more exciting, because before Barcelona won the last El Clasico, Real Madrid was always in control of this big game.

It is true that El Clásico is a very big attraction in La Liga. Honestly, it doesn't matter how strong Barcelona or Real Madrid are compared to each other. El Clásico is always going to be El Clásico and people are always going to love it. Obviously, unless it is absolutely one-sided. To be honest, even if it is one-sided, people are still going to go to the stadium and attend the match.

It is also true at the same time that previously we had Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi facing off against each other in El Clásico. But now because none of those two players are playing in their previous teams El Clásico I have lost a lot of viewers. I personally miss the old days of the Messi-Neymar-Suarez and Ronaldo-Benzema-Bale attack.

Barcelona is currently having a game vs NY Red Bulls and Real Madrid will play vs Juventus in a couple of hours. Interesting game for Real before the starting of the season.

It is difficult to predict the outcome of the match between Juventus and Real Madrid. because these two clubs have their respective advantages that make it look even. but if you look at the history of pre-season matches for real madrid who have made the previous two matches. and the result is 1 loss and 1 draw. different from the pre-season Juventus match which both have done 2 matches and 1 of them Juventus managed to win it and 1 more draw. From this history, we see that Juventus is superior. But still, the opponent this time for Juventus is Real Madrid, which is very strong. so it's still hard to predict who will win.

Well, right now the match against Juventus is going on in Real Madrid's preseason, so far it's been 42 minutes and they're winning with a goal from Benzema, I think that Juve is having a very good introduction in these minutes, and it's worth noting that Benzema he is playing at half speed, Vinicius is there and you really see an abysmal difference in terms of the resistance of the Real Madrid players with those of Juve, I think that the Vinicius and Benezema duo does a lot of damage to the teams, Modric is also very activated and they are making many shots on goal, this shows that Real Madrid plays with almost all its starting players against certain teams to take care of them and not get injured.

I think so far there is nothing special about the game, because the game went as I expected. Although Juventus could have been better at the start, Real Madrid as usual managed to overcome that in the vulnerable minutes. In terms of opportunity, both teams are still looking for their best game, which means they are still having trouble breaking through each other's defenses.

and the end result is Los Blancos won 2-0 from juventus. with goals scored by Benzema and Asensio. Madrid got lucky because a foul made by a Juventus player dropped Vincius Junior in the penalty box which was then executed by Karim Benzema. and the second goal which was executed by Asensio thanks to Vallejo's flat curse in front of an unmarked goal.

Real Madrid line-up: Thibaut Courtois; David Alaba, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde.
Coach: Carlo Ancelotti

Juventus line-up: Mattia Perin; Bremer, Leonardo Bonucci, Manuel Locatelli, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Ángel Di María, Nicolo Fagioli, Denis Zakaria, Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic.
Coach: Massimiliano Allegri

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.

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.

Back when Real Madrid was still reinforced by Ronaldo and Barcelona still had Messi, these two players were always in the spotlight in El Clasico. Now that the eyes of football fans will be on Benzema Dan Lewandowski, these two players will act as goal machines for their respective clubs, happiness will grace the face of one of these players if he scores a goal in El Clasico. Lewandowski is looking forward to his first El Clasico in an official match and wants to prove he can still play in big games like Benzema did, besides this El Clasico will be a proving ground for Benzema and Lewandowski to be the best.

Lewandowski and Benzema I think are the stars of both clubs. Although Lewandowski is still new, his performances in pre-season matches seem promising enough to perform well in El Clasico. Lewandowski quickly adapted to Xavi's strategy. he will be one of the most prolific players in La Liga in my opinion. I hope both teams will show their best quality of play.

Yes, those two players are now the attention of each team. Fans will definitely compare the two, although I don't agree with that, but the fact is that many people always do. The difference will be, because last season Barcelona didn't have a fierce forward line, but now Lewandowski will. Although we still need to wait for what Lewandowski will give.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, Real Madrid won in a friendly against Juventus. They were able to lead by 2 goals until the last minute, after goals from Benzema and Asensio could not be answered by Juventus. I think Juventus still have to improve, especially in their attack line, because as far as I can see they have not been able to be effective when trying to attack.

The presence of Lewandowski will certainly make the Barcelona squad even stronger because Lewandowski himself is known as one of the best strikers so it is not surprising that currently many fans are very confident that the El Clasico match will be very interesting to watch, but while Real Maddrid are currently they still relying on Benzema as a front line attack because Benzema is also the best striker so that later we will see a real duel between the world's best strikers.

Barcelona is currently having a game vs NY Red Bulls and Real Madrid will play vs Juventus in a couple of hours. Interesting game for Real before the starting of the season.

After having very amazing last season but now selling few quality players without any proper replacement this result is not shocking but alarming because with this they can go down and out of top things are not easy for them as few teams are already preparing in good way and want to fight for top rank if they are not going to have any quality player in next few days then surely they are going to face disaster in coming season.

In friendly match against NYRB Barcelona done good job and won match by 0 - 2 even this is not as we were expecting but still good for them with now all players are having some good practice same result happened in other friendly match which played between Real Madrid vs Juventus they completely outclass their opponents with score of 2 - 0 mean good start and good results can be expected in coming season from these teams.

[Raflesia]

I think Juventus still have to improve, especially in their attack line, because as far as I can see they have not been able to be effective when trying to attack.

It can be said that Madrid's starting line-up is a core player there with the same composition as the UCL final against Liverpool.
It's nice to see Madrid play in this match but on the other hand it's not very good for Juventus.
They forced a 4-3-3 and I don't think this formation is very suitable for those who are used to using 1 or 2 strikers up front. with 4-5-1 or 3-5-2.

Very happy to see the best strikers can finally play in the same league, after previously having Haaland and Nunez playing for the Premier League. Here is no less interesting, because we can see their quality in the previous season. The difference is that in the Premier League there will be competition between young players, and in La Liga the competition will be played by the seniors.

Yes, Real Madrid won in a friendly against Juventus. They were able to lead by 2 goals until the last minute, after goals from Benzema and Asensio could not be answered by Juventus. I think Juventus still have to improve, especially in their attack line, because as far as I can see they have not been able to be effective when trying to attack.

Real madrid has been dominating the game. It can be seen from how many shots to the juve's goal. Rudiger has been blocking a weak shot by rovela. The domination by real madrid looks very strong at that match. It seems like juventus is still need to restructured its team again.
That proves that if juventus was not strong enough to meet the la liga champion like real madrid. Juventus must think about that caused by the next competition will be very competitive.
Real looks very strong right now. Its defensive has so many good players like rudiger that was very useful for the team

[fuguebtc]

Memphis Depay is likely to leave the team these days. Juventus are interested in signing him currently as they are in search of a striker now. There are Werner and Morata also who are among their targets. When it comes to signing Depay, I don't think that Barcelona would make difficulties for him. Because they have already been willing about selling him for a nice amount of money. Lewandowski's arrival has made things easier for Barcelona to make a decision about this topic.

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.

I think Memphis Depay is not necessary for Barcelona right now. However, he is still part of the Barcelona team. I honestly do not feel it is going to be a very wise idea for Barcelona to sell him if I am talking about the strength of the team. But if Barcelona thinks that they will be able to get a decent amount of money selling this player and without this player, they will not face too many problems, I think they should sell him. And we all know that he is very interested in this place. So I believe Barcelona will be able to get a decent amount of money for him. But the problem is that Memphis has not stated anything about moving out of Barcelona. Let's just hope that the communication between him and the management stays on track.

El Classico has been the expected matches in every period. El Classico was getting more attention in the past to watch the rivalry between Cr7 and Messi. This year, he will make us watch the excitement between Lewandowski and Benzema. As far as I can see, Xavi and Barça will produce different compositions this year. I wonder how compatible Lewandowski will be.

Actually there is no squad change that is so striking at Real Madrid, but they can maintain the chemistry that has been formed for a long time so that it can make them play comfortably. Especially when it comes to their midfield, there's no doubt they have things I see other clubs don't have at the moment. But here, in my opinion, Juventus is more effective in evaluating the squad, because some of the teams that are against them are strong teams.

[bitkanu]

You must also pay attention to the real madrid's defensive player. Juventus was feeling so difficult to attack real madrid's keeper. All of shots already made by juventus strikers were not on target. that means the defensive player's real madrid was also become even better and better.
It needs time for some player like antonio rudiger to adapt with the real madrid's playing style. I hope that if this will become a very strong team to win another UCL and La Liga again.
