La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Luzin]

Just 3 days left until the opening La Liga game, here is the list of Barcelona's players who have not yet registered:
Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Ousmane Dembélé, Jules Koundé and Sergi Roberto.

Despite Barcelona's desire to sign players, the club lacks the funds to do so. Barca's board does have plans, I believe. It is hoped that the magic will soon begin to work. We can just consider them being registered. The registrations can be done at the last minute, which will solve all the problems.

Currently they have to sell some of their players to still comply with financial fair play standards. It seems that they have to sell some players immediately. Many media outlets gave news that they were ready to expel De jong, Memphis Depay, Braithwaite, Neto, and Mingueza.
If the name doesn't go away of course they can't register new players. Surely with this matter there will be new news in the transfer market before it closes.

It is the La Liga has restricted Barcelona from registering these players. This season without a good financial standing, the club has spent more than any other club in Spain in the transfer market. Currently they are unable to register those players because the La Liga officials discovered that they don't have the funds they claim they possess. Part of the money they claimed they received from investors were actually paid by the club using another company. Now they have to source for other means to raise funds that would enable them register those players.  

Old story. It is why they let Messi leaves their club 2 seasons ago. Now, they are in a same story but their finance are at risk again. The leave of Messi can not help them and their director board is taking higher risk now.

The restriction of La Liga forces Barcelona to find exit clubs for many players. To reduce their salary burden and to register new players they signed in this summer.

Currently they have to sell some of their players to still comply with financial fair play standards. It seems that they have to sell some players immediately. Many media outlets gave news that they were ready to expel De jong, Memphis Depay, Braithwaite, Neto, and Mingueza.
If the name doesn't go away of course they can't register new players. Surely with this matter there will be new news in the transfer market before it closes.

Barcelona are in a big gamble again. They will come back to be a giant and improve their finance or they will go more closely to a verge of collapse and bankruptcy.

I don't know what are best solutions for them but Laporta and his colleagues are taking very high risk. Furthermore, they are losing faith from their players. The story between Barcelona and De Jong, and 2 seasons ago, with Messi, are very sad and bad. I don't think they should not be a host of such bad drama.

No matter what they told in press conference or on media, they actually gave De Jong very unfair and bad treatment.

Carlo Ancelotti is alright with their present squad which consists of mostly Young Players. They lifted the champions League in the previous season and the Los Blancos side are aiming to lift more trophies this new season. Perhaps he made several signings during the transfer window. Real Madrid remain mute in the coming days and they're ready to pickup games in the laliga. Moreover, they would have tough competition from their rival, Barcelona.

I feel Carlo Ancelotti is right, the squad looks okay, the replacement for the midfield players that are getting old are in the team already, Rudiger arrived to give Carlo more options in defense, they are a team in perfect shape in my opinion, though i think they may have to buy a younger striker next summer, Benzema will not play at this level for much longer, age is not too much on his side.

Barcelona squad looks okay too, they have bought players nobody thought they will buy, and Xavi cannot ask for anything better than what he has now, it is difficult to pick a winner for the league title this season, the two of them will surely be at their best, and i feel it is the team that is most consistent that will win it, my choice is Barcelona.

I also saw the news about it. It looks like a machination, and it's good that the La Liga auditors caught it quickly. Frenkie De Jong refused to end his contract with Barcelona and cut his salary. He is also said to have contacted FIFPro and the La Liga union about Barcelona's actions against him. Barcelona are starting to reap the rewards of their dirty game and I hope to see them in the Segunda soon 

[Furious 7]

They want to bring B. Silva from City? Are they kidding now? They even threatened not being able to register their 5 new players due to their financial imbalance and had to add at least another 150 million to be able to register their new players now but still want to bring B. Silva there? Did they have to see the coffin first to find out how dire their current financial condition was.

Nobody seems to understand Barcelona this season, no matter how hard one tries, this is a team that are broke, but they made more signings than clubs that do not have any problems financially, i don't know if we are to call it a masterclass, or they are only killing the club gradually. You are correct, they had problems registering most of them, and i am sure they are going to have problems paying them their salaries, and there is more talk about Bernado Silva, i don't know who is in control of barca's transfer business, but that person needs a rethink. With the players they have now, they will perform well this season, but the repercussions of getting those players will inevitably come back to affect them.

Now this looks like it will happen and there are indeed some reports that Barcelona and City have agreed on the transfer of B. Silva for a price in the range of 50-60 million euros.
Did they not heed the words of the league association there. In fact they are currently having trouble registering their players instead of reducing now they are adding one more player.

Barcelona is able to solve the weaknesses of the previous season very well. Barcelona's attack and defense were somewhat weak. This season they have tried to strengthen their attack and defense. And there are plenty of talented players in the squad. So next season Xavi's goal is definitely to win the title. And despite being in financial trouble, they have brought in the likes of Lewandowski and Raphinha to win the title.

The both sides have arguably been the best sides in Spanish La Liga.  Love how they invest hugely in younger talented players who will represent the club in th next ten to fifteen years.

I don't expect Barcelona to sit back watching Real Madrid repeat the same results they had last season winning the Spanish La Liga with some ten to eleven points over them during this campaign. Xavi Hernandez will be very competitive and Barcelona debut manager has something to win always in the second second season.

[Pulsar77]

We all saw what Real Madrid did in the previous season with their youngsters and experienced players like Benzema all. They just won the La Liga and the Champions League both. This was a really huge achievement that showed us how great manager Ancelotti was also. As he is still in control of the team now, I'm expecting another solid season from them. Their new additions to the team are really nice transfers too. They are trying to prepare the team for the future too by adding skilled youngsters.

Real Madrid has generally managed to maintain its strong roster last year. I am sure that they will be in the championship race this season with this squad.  Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, made many transfers. Especially the transfer of Lewandowski sat on the agenda of the world. Therefore, the effect of El Classico matches will be great in the championship race. I can't see a team as a favourite at the moment. Both teams are strong enough to be champions.

Last season was one of the most successful seasons for Real Madrid, as they were able to win two prestigious titles, namely the Spanish La Liga and the Champions League. However, following poor results in pre-season matches, Real Madrid is expected to be able to immediately new players in the transfer market this summer.  

Because the number of new players coming in is not proportional to the players leaving. Pre-season results should be used as material for evaluation of Real Madrid's management, for new players before the transfer window closes.

It depends if Benzema can deliver once more at the same level, I doubt it. I am not saying he is a bad striker or anything, but last season was just this one year in a lifetime. It is almost impossible to top that this year. Everything played out perfectly for him in literally every single game, especially in the Champions League.

I do think that they are going to win the national title. There is just too much trouble going on in Barcelona. It is also hard to assess what Atletico will do, but it feels a bit as if the "Simeone" effect is a bit over. I might be wrong though.

Real's squad isn't as strong as it used to be like 6 to 7 years ago, but it's definitely well equipped with speed, technique and experience.

Marcelo left Real Madrid, but the club was notified about this in advance and there is no big problem in this. If you look at the squard of Real Madrid, then I can say that they have order in all positions. And pre-season matches can never be taken into account to assess the state of the team, because this is preparation, the players are returning from holidays, and they are just starting to train. Today, in the match for the UEFA Super Cup with Eintracht, let's see what shape Real Madrid is in, this is a responsible match in which Real will definitely want to win.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Frenkie de Jong still owes a lot of money from Barcelona. It is remarkable that they do not want to give that and that they want de Jong to leave as soon as possible. Surely that will also cause a lot of unrest and dissatisfaction within the selection? After all, fellow players see how Barcelona treats their players. These are important things in a team that can have a major impact. At real Madrid you never really hear big problems and they are also much healthier financially. Barcelona needs success again and then at least the national championship must be achieved. With or without de Jong.

Nah, pre-season result don't really matter that much to Real Madrid and most team. The current squad is just fine, maybe they just need one more back up striker just in case Benzema picks up and injury, otherwise I don't think Real Madrid should be spending carelessly like Barcelona have been trying to do. Most of the players that just left the club were in most cases just bench warmers while costing Real Madrid lots in terms of salary payment.

[BITCOIN4X]

Currently they have to sell some of their players to still comply with financial fair play standards. It seems that they have to sell some players immediately. Many media outlets gave news that they were ready to expel De jong, Memphis Depay, Braithwaite, Neto, and Mingueza.
If the name doesn't go away of course they can't register new players. Surely with this matter there will be new news in the transfer market before it closes.

Some players who were not in Xavi's plans this season should consider leaving and looking for another team so they can get enough space and time to play. It's not like being sent off, but they have the freedom to leave as the team doesn't plan to choose them in the squad this season.

So far there are 9 players who have left Barcelona either on a free transfer, on a permanent contract, or on loan. Neto, Lenglet, Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Trincau, Coutinho, Manaj, Wague and Alves are among the names known to have left. But maybe the list will get longer considering that Barcelona will run out of time to register new players in Laliga this season.

Barcelona is able to solve the weaknesses of the previous season very well. Barcelona's attack and defense were somewhat weak. This season they have tried to strengthen their attack and defense. And there are plenty of talented players in the squad. So next season Xavi's goal is definitely to win the title. And despite being in financial trouble, they have brought in the likes of Lewandowski and Raphinha to win the title.

The way Xavi meticulously transformed Barcelona is what amazed me. We were being fed with the information that Barcelona is in financial crisis and not knowing it was a camouflage to get what they wanted. Now they have good defence, good midfield and one of the best forwards in football currently. I have the feeling that Xavi want to challenge for either Laliga or UCL. He is gearing up to return Barcelona to what it used to be in his days of play.

Real 2 - 0 Eintracht

Real Madrid easily won the UEFA Super Cup. A very pleasant start to the season. Congratulations to all Real Madrid fans!
The chances of Real Madrid winning were surprisingly attractive so I placed a bet and after the game Eintracht - Bayern I was completely sure that it would play without problems.

[Falconer]

Happy with Real Madrid's win today over Frankfurt. 2-0 is good enough to lift another title before the 2022/2023 season starts and we look ready for another title this season. I hope this can be an important message for Barcelona who in fact are favored by several parties because of their success in bringing several new stars to their team.

Real Madrid have not been weak this season due to the fact that Frankfurt, who previously beat Barcelona today, were beaten by Real Madrid. Until the celebration of the title is done, I am happy because Benzema is still quite good with his performances and scoring goals. UEFA Super Cup, that's good too.

[jostorres]

Barcelona just don't know what they are doing at the moment. They have made many transfers without worrying about a possible problem with financial fair-play. Now they are on the verge of having big issues about that. They are trying to solve the problem by cutting the salaries of some players but it wouldn't be easy to convince those players for that. Apart from all that, they are still trying to make new signings as well. This may not result in very well for Barcelona in the long term.

The decision to cut salaries of some players has caused Barça a lot of problems. A salary reduction or departure has been refused by Frenkie de Jong. As a result of his current salary, the club acknowledges that it is completely out of proportion with the FFP rules. As far as their attitude is concerned, they don't care until it's an inconvenience to them. I think it's time for all of this to come crashing down.

I think it is not just a situation handled by the Barcelona current management because it was signed by the old one. Which means that even though the team is the same one, they could easily say "the old management made a mistake and they should be responsible for all the problems" and get out of it.

De Jong could ignore it all he wants, he will be either forced to get a cut, or he will sit on the bench all games and not played, which is a crucially deathly thing for a young player like him. It means for the next 10 years, he will either get great money for 1-2 more years, then very low for the other 8, or get paid well for the next 10, has to look at the totals and get a cut, or he will be banished in Barcelona.
