La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hyudien]

On 13 August, Sevilla will steal the starting line first with their first game against Osasuna. As usual, all La Liga clubs will not play in a hurry. The need to maintain balance in 38 games is still far away. From Seville's side, not many changes have been made and the preparation is different from before. Likewise, Osasuna, which is only a condition to be able to survive for a while before returning to sinks like usual.

... Xavi also has quality players on the left, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres. Both of them are quite agile, especially Ansu Fati who is proven sharp in scoring goals.

Ansu Fati is one of the players who have a really big potential honestly. Some people are even claiming that he is the next Messi at this team but I think that it is just an exaggeration.    We will always have only one Messi. However if Fati reaches his potential in the future he can play a big role in the successes of the team. Barcelona are really good at finding or growing very skilled players. They just need to do their best to keep them in the team by having successful seasons.

Sometimes in business you have to spend money to get more money. Barcelona are quality and talented players that are expensive to win trophies,  winning trophies will bring money to them to pay up debts.  If Barcelona don't signing good players it will affect the club in so many ways.

Agree. In this case, despite the various risks that might occur to Barcelona, I strongly support the steps of the barca management to make major changes even in difficult situations. But I think it's better than having to see Barcelona do nothing because it still won't relieve the club's debt burden. Although on the one hand this looks increasingly burdensome to the club's debt, on the other hand this is an attempt to get them out of the financial situation they are currently facing.

Even so Sevilla are certainly the favorite team to win, although they are not in a hurry but still they will focus on the competition and will try hard to win. Basically in my view La Liga gameplay is harder than Serie A gameplay, so for me the La Liga match will still be a fast match even though this is the opening match doesn't mean they will play casually, right. If they only play casually then they will be left behind in the competition because usually, the team that might lower the tension is a team that is already on the title track but for the opening match of course they will still compete for the three points.

what the Barcelona management is doing is a move to get other investors to put their money in.
when the created team makes achievements and performs better. of course there will be some coming at them. it will be difficult to manage a club without strong funding. but Barca seems to be doing their best to change its financial fortunes for the better.

Although some people compare Ansu Fati to Lionel Messi, and also they both wear the number 10. But I agree with you that it is too much to compare
Ansu Fati to Messi, even I think they have a different game. It must be admitted that Ansu Fati's performance has grown since joining Barcelona in 2019.
Moreover, he is still 19 years old, Ansu Fati should still be able to develop much better. It is not surprising that Barcelona extended Ansu Fati's contract
until 2027, because Ansu Fati is a very good investment for Barcelona. Ansu Fati just needs to be given more opportunities to play, so that his skills
in playing soccer can continue to grow. I really believe in the next 2 years Ansu Fati will be a player who has a very big contribution to the game of Barcelona.

I think under President Joan Laporta they are gradually cleaning up the remnants of the previous President which is really destroying the club.
what is clear so far they are doing very well and need to be appreciated,
maybe in the next few years Barcelona will be financially stable again

Ansu fati's only problem is his injuries he rarely played with barcelona in the last couple of seasons and i am not fond of barcelona extending his contract and what if he keep getting injured more often then he wont have a successfull carrere and barcelona will not benefict from the player.

Barcelona is unlikely to achieve financial stability in the next few years. Barcelona has taken on a lot of debt. Barcelona has taken on more than a billion dollars in debt. Laporta, on the other hand, is trying to make money by selling shares. And from what I've heard, the amount of money he got from selling shares, he spent on recruiting new players instead of paying the loan. So it would be foolish to think that Laporta will stabilize Barcelona financially.

[bering]

Joan Gamper Trophy event could be the last friendly match from Barcelona and their opponent is Pumas UNAM which is Mexican team and Xavi confirmed with playing used his reserved team because he want his main players will be in the good condition while against Rayo Vallecano for next week and also this match also presented to Dani Alves because during joining Barcelona he has help this team get many trophies and regarding the prediction Xavi admitted Pumas UNAM is good team and maybe Barcelona will hard struggle to beat them

[Pulsar77]

We have only one week ahead of us for the season to begin. Barcelona and Real Madrid seem like the most prepared teams recently. People will be eyeing especially Barcelona's performance after those very nice transfers. Lewandowski had nice chances to adapt to the team thanks to friendlies. He would show his real performance by the league games. Their first opponent is Vallecano and it is in Camp Nou. I hope to see Barcelona putting a great show against them.

[Masplanc]

Most people feel that because of Barcelona are getting new players to strengthen their team that it will make them to win laliga this season. I could remember in last season it was  difficult to believe that Real Madrid will win in the Champions League. It won't be easy for another team to stop Real Madrid from winning the league this season again.

Agree, Barcelona is unlikely to give the number 10 to Ansu Fati if he does not have great potential as well as being a valuable asset for Barcelona for the future. But so far what I have seen, Ansu Fati's level is still far below Messi, who previously also wore the sacred number at Barcelona. Ansu Fati needs support from coaches and senior players in the team to develop his talent, since he was first promoted from Barcelona B, he has developed much more than before. Only time will tell how Ansu Fati can do it, hopefully the number 10 used will not be a burden for him.

[emrecemsan]

There is still time for Ansu Fati to become a very significant player surely. They have players like Gavi and Pedri as well who must be convinced to remain in the team in the long term. Because these two players also are very crucial for Barcelona's future now. Xavi is creating a brand new team so they will need every single one of their skilled youngsters. When it comes to this season I'm also waiting for them to fight for being the champions as most people. This season is hopefully going to be a lot of fun.

Yes, it is true, that it will not be easy for other teams to be able to replace Real Madrid. Now Real Madrid are in doubt as well because their squad has not changed as much as Barcelona did.
But Real Madrid will not be as easy as last season to get the trophy this season. But Real Madrid always show something extraordinary if they are doubted by many.

[KTChampions]

I see no problem in disrespecting those who are not worthy of respect. Barcelona's actions are increasingly reminiscent of fraud: in the summer of 2021, they reached an agreement with Pique to defer payments to him in order to be able to register newcomers. A year has passed and now they are saying that the payment is impossible because they need to register new newcomers! What is this shit? I think in life everyone has met such insolent people who borrow money and then do not pay it back and ask for more. I have no tolerance for this behavior.

To be honest I won't say much about it because I'm more interested in the competition. I don't think it's important to hate them and their behavior here because I know it won't change anything, so let it happen to Barcelona and hope Real Madrid never suffer that fate in the future.

KTCampions, save your passion for supporting Real Madrid. We will start a long season to prove who is the best. 

As you can see in my trust, I really dislike scammers. It may be too early to definitively hang this label on Barcelona, but if we talk about my subjective feelings, then their behavior is very disgusting. I am also interested in Real Madrid having worthy competitors (and in general La Liga has not turned into Ligue 1), but now Barcelona is acting to the detriment of itself and football in general.

Yes, and Xavi has to start from this season to bring Barcelona back to safety. With several star players playing for Barcelona this season, their worries about Real Madrid will not be the same as the previous season, Barcelona will play more confident. Considering the two teams are the strongest candidates to lead La Liga so far.

Atletico Madrid's consistency for the better has not been seen, they have lost several key players this season and Diego Simeone still doesn't seem focus on filling the void left by his players. It looks like Diego Simeone is preparing something, as it's hard to believe they haven't done anything while Atletico Madrid's rivals like Barcelona have made some changes.

Barcelona hasagood chance of winning the league.
It's wrong to underestimate Barcelona after Madrid they're the best.
Xavi has something huge to win those new signatures are not for fancy.

With the current star players, it is strange that Xavi failed to be 1st or 2nd in La Liga. Their targets are the League and UCL champions. With an outstanding transfer move they should have been able to clinch the trophy.
If it fails I think it is Xavi who should be held accountable. But this I see statistically players. I don't know how they will be, if they are not able to perform stable I think they will fail again.

You miss a point that new players need time to play at their best in a new club. Usually they can play at their best in their second season in a new club. I see it is very unrealistic to think Barcelona will be able to fight and win Champions League because they have some good players joined in this summer.

It is more realistic to think Barcelona can challenge Real Madrid for La Liga title. I think they have more chance to win La Liga. It is impossible to win Champions League if no very big surprise occurs.

This summer transfer and the gambling from Larporta with Barcelona finance results in more pressure on Xavi. Bad results will put the club in serious troubles and Xavi will hardly to save his coach position.
