La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Furious 7]

Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid some time ago, and recently the club made by Xavi was only satisfied with a draw when they met Juventus. Surprising to see Real Madrid beat Juventus with a score of 2-0 yesterday, Juventus don't even attack much into Madrid's defence, in contrast to when they met Barcelona they played with an attack priority. This proves that Real Madrid's defense is still strong enough even after Marcelo left.

Come on mate, it's just a friendly match even though they won there but in this case the majority of Madrid players are young players but indeed when you see it it's like a mini elclasico because it seems that Barcelona really intends even with the obstacles and hard tackles there.
This doesn't determine anything really and when I say Madrid's defense can actually be said to be strong but there is still a need for adjustments there because until now Rudiger and Tchouameni in midfield are also still in the adaptation stage and don't have a strong chemistry there.

Remind me in which tournament did Barcelona beat Real Madrid?  I mean the final result of the tournament and not separate matches. Real distributes its forces for the season so as to win tournaments, weaker teams are content with little - like individual victories. I think you should understand the difference.

Barcelona did not beat Real Madrid in any very competitive match. Yes, it's true, Barcelona beat Real Madrid a few months ago. But you know, that was after Real Madrid had already won the La Liga title. So that it now makes any difference. But Barcelona will surely take some positives from that match because you know, they did win the match by a big margin.

It's okay even if it's a friendly match because actually both teams want to win. Barcelona and Real Madrid both played their best players and they played like El Clasico in a competition, but the match stats are good for Barcelona.

Barcelona's two wins over Real Madrid in Laliga and friendly match will certainly give Real Madrid a little impression that they must be ready and wary of Barcelona this season. Barcelona can play well and their attackers are very dangerous, so this will definitely be one of the things that will have a positive impact on the competition this season.

This is football buddy, something unexpected can happen. Barcelona can beat Real Madrid is something that is natural in my opinion, as well as Real Madrid win over Juventus is also nothing wrong with that result. The cycle in football is like that, not all teams can always win and not all teams can always lose, surprises will always happen in football matches. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus can beat each other at any given time, it's a matter of luck on the pitch, the team that can take chances into goals has the potential to win the game.

Regardless of the score, it doesn't mean anything when it comes to the final result and the evidence is that it was Madrid who had the upper hand.
In this case we can't depend on just one game in the league because everything will be very difficult if that's what we always remember.
Barcelona are now starting with great players in this transfer. And if they really want to say they can do better then they can't lose in anything like their golden era a few years ago but it's a bit more difficult.

It matters because it was only by then that Barcelona had recovered as a team and they were starting to play normally. Everything before that was the result of you know what - Koeman putting the team in such bad conditions, if you can call it that. So that match made it clear that Barcelona are now ready to fight for anything

I dont know why most of the clubs that came front in the last season have performed bad in the ongoing pre season, Real Madrid and Liverpool did not do well in their last match and with the level.of performance put forth by the clubs alot still need to be done against the coming season.

[emrecemsan]

Frenkie de Jong's future at Barcelona is still undecided. There is still a possibility for him to leave for a big team that are competing in the Champions League like Chelsea. This ambiguity must be really annoying for Xavi as he is making plans for this season according to the players they have. There is not much time left for the season to begin so hopefully his future will be clear sooner or later. Chelsea are the most interested club at the moment and I guess they would make an offer soon.

Real madrid when they play without Benzema they have a great chance of losing the game, but when they play with benzema they win the games, in the case of the game against barcelona real madrid was not playing with benzema, even in the league in that game in which barcelona beat real madrid by 4 - 0 real madrid did not play with benzema because benzema was injured. I'm not saying that Barcelona won by luck or that they are weak. that and so you can see that each game is different from another game. the lack or addition of a player in a given game can bring defeat or victory, maybe juventus was playing with all its players in the game against barcelona and not having done the same thing against real lmadrid or having had different strategies with barcelona and against real madrid to have changed the strategy

[snipie]

Is it one of reasons why Barcelona can have money to buy many players even they have troubles to pay salary to their players?

Barcelona sells 25% stake in Audiovisual Studio to Socios.com. This deal helps Barcelona to receive 100 M Euros.

I don't care much about what happened in Barcelona because their management is bad but I care that whether this deal will cause a new trend for fan token ecosystem. Will we see another fly from fan token?

I was always wondering how barcelona could find a way to buy, register and pay wages of the new comers. It turns out that in addition to selling their TV rights for €667m, they found a way to increase that to €767 which should cover all expenses for the moment.. Dunno if this is a good move or not but definitely if the club won't generate enough money this season from competitions and other stuff, they will be in deep trouble for a long time. They still need to let (force) other players to leave the club like Depay and Braithwaite

[herurist]

madrid is really amazing, if juve is able to draw with barca then not with Madrid. many speculated that this final result happened because of pogba's absence, but the good news is that juventus will bring in pjanic (to fill the vacancy in the potential midfield position).

You're kidding, this has nothing to do with Pogba because when Barcelona played Juventus, Pogba didn't play there before lol.
Juventus tried something new and different from usual because they put 3 strikers up front which made their midfield weak in this match because they are not used to the 4-3-3 formation so this is indeed one of the things that Madrid have taken advantage of. can maximize the flow of the ball in midfield comfortably.

What's the point of friendlies if the coach doesn't try other tactics and test as many players as possible.. Result doesn't really matter in these games since the conditions are very different from real competitions.
Real Madrid will play vs Frankfurt in August 10, we will see how fit the club will be this season few days before the beginning of La Liga matches.

This should be seen but of course there must be some reason when they say they lost, right?
It should be underlined that this is a test match that is intended to make some things they might do to navigate next season.
When the thing tried works then that is one good thing and when it is a failure then they just have to try something else.

I admit Real Madrid's winning percentage is bigger when Karim Benzema plays, Real Madrid proved successful in winning against Juventus
in a friendly match. Because in that match Real Madrid played Benzema, even Benzema scored one goal. But it is not good for Real Madrid
who depend too much on Benzema, that's why in the summer transfer market this year Real Madrid must brought in a new striker to be
Benzema's back-up. Because it is impossible for Benzema to always play in every Real Madrid game. But it seems Real Madrid are not very active
in the transfer market, Ancelotti seems to be quite satisfied with the current Real Madrid squad.

Well, at the business level it is obvious that they have many economic problems, just when it was such an exclusive club they resorted to it to obtain that money, which we are going to analyze and it is not a lot of money either, there are players who offer them double that money so that go to their clubs, if this is for the team to improve and have the level of a few years ago, I think it's fine, but hopefully it's for that and not to get worse, I'm not a fan of Barcelona, but I do want to see again some classic that is world wide, something that almost paralyzed the world, but this is only achieved with very famous players on both teams.

[blackened515]

Funny to see how the transfer window is going in favour of Barcelona. All players wants to play for the team because Xavi's building a team which consists of young and reinforced players that have no room for fatigue, rather they're competent among each other and the best always start games. Xavi Hernandez knows what's he's doing presently and seems not to add another player to his squad as there would be high competition for the Frontlines starters.

I agree with some of your points especially about maximizing goal chances and luck. This season Real Madrid have not spent a lot of money in the market but that doesn't mean they are bad just for losing 1-0 to Barcelona during pre-season. Barcelona is improving, that's true but Real Madrid is a different team.

I just don't agree that this season Barcelona is considered easy to compete for the title. It must be wrong because Real Madrid actually lacks nothing in terms of the quality of its players even though only Tchouameni and Rudiger were brought in. Barcelona is Barcelona, ​​they can expect whatever they want, but don't expect Real Madrid to make it easy without competition.

No, this is not Xavi's fault. It should be responsible management. All problems caused by Xavi's data, they must be ready to bear it. Braithwaite is not needed by Xavi so management should be responsible.
If this matter is not resolved, it is possible that Barcelona can get a sanction from FIFA or UEFA. This is because they are unwilling to pay for player rights.  Braithwaite could make an official report to FIFA.

barca tried to get rid of him but didn't want to be responsible for the cancellation of the contract, that's what Braithwaite will definitely do.

FC Barcelona announces the sale of 24.5% of Barça Studios to the company http://Socios.com for 100 million euros to accelerate the club’s audiovisual, blockchain, NFT and Web.3 strategy.

barca get another big money, reportedly with this money, barca will use it for the transfer of bernando silva but other than that silva's personal condition is de jong must not be at barca and barca management seems to agree to that. we'll be back to see the drama that happened at barca.

Why it is funny? I don't think it is funny, Xavi has done a great job in this current transfer window. Of course, every player wants to play under Xavi's management, everyone knows Xavi is a great person although he still can't prove his quality as a coach. Seeing positive impacts on Barcelona squad after Xavi becomes Barcelona head coach, I am sure Xavi will be successful this season. They have signed some top players that can bring instant impacts on Barcelona performance. We can see it once Barcelona can beat Real Madrid in a friendly match lately.

There has been a great rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona for years. Even if it is a friendly match, the resulting match is an El Classico. In the league, Barcelona beat Real Madrid. This can be repeated again.  I don't see a big difference in terms of staff quality. I think this year will be a championship match between the two.

[tbterryboy]

Diego Simeon trying his possible best to make his squad a better one in the new season. Him getting Witsel and Molina is one perfect signing and I thinks these Players will do excellently alright in the team. The Athletico Madrid is presently doing perfectly good after recording a win against Manchester United in their friendly. Perhaps that doesn't determined that they would do better but sounds impressive as Athletico are gradually getting back on their feet. They losing toughing one tough attacker, Luis Suarez to Nacional is big loss for Simeon, however replacement is always there.

They were already good last season, I do not think them making it here would actually cause them to change that much and suddenly hope that they are better, because they were pretty good. I understand that the league situation could have been a bit better but that doesn't change the fact that I am not talking about that here, they were amazing in UCL for a long time and that's understandably good.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be really shocked to learn that it would be taking a long time before they could get even better. I mean sure they could be slightly better maybe but even that's doubtful, they will probably not be that good at all.

By bringing in players regardless of how their financial condition is now? Or maybe by trying to keep buying time for other clubs who want to sign some of their players?
I still feel this is too bold an act, it's true for their recruitment to do something very good there, but is it really worth the threat of their financial condition getting worse?
