La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[W Jr.]

I heard if Busquet's contract is about to expire. Next year in June, there is no news yet where he will go. But there seems to be an MLS club that wants him. If I'm not mistaken Inter Miami. Until now, there is also no word on whether Barca will use it again or not.
Meanwhile regarding De Jong, he is negotiating with his salary. Due to last season's problems Barcelona had debts to be paid in agreements during the pandemic. Perhaps this is a testament to De Jong's love for Barcelona. He is willing to negotiate the amount of salary that should be His right.

For Busquest, I think Xavi will try to hold him for another year or two if he will continue managing Barcelona. He appreciate him and unless he drops a lot, I assume his contract will be extended.
For De Jong, I don't know how barcelona is thinking but I think that both parties will agree a salary cuts. The problem is the salary that De Jong owes from Barca. Will they cut his salary and reimburse him?

If de Jong wants to stay in barcelona he should cut his salary. I think Barcelona is happy with his performance. What makes them think is his salary. If he does not lower his Salary and asks for the same money, we keep hearing news that he may be transferred to another team for a long time.

El Clasico is now a long-awaited match, especially since both clubs are showing a good game to watch. But there is bad news for some players who have problems (injury) for defending their respective countries. If they can't play during the El Clasico match, it's a bit of a loss for the club because they can't field the full squad.
A prestigious match will be presented in this match. Whoever will win the match, will ensure a place at the top of the standings.

The El clasico is a very prestigious game, one which hold much expectations from football fanatics and from parts of the world. This is a game that most fans are waiting to see this season especially now that both Real Madrid and Barcelona have very competitive squads who will really put up a good and entertaining show. I also have expectations in that game and I wish full recovery for players from both teams so the game will be really tough and aggressively competitive.

It's a little different when you see El Clasico this season with the previous season because now there is a bit of spice because with Lewandowski who is clearly a challenger for Benzema in the top scorer which makes this come alive again because I feel a competition like this has happened between Messi and Ronaldo After the two goats left, this kind of rivalry ceased to exist and El Clasico seemed more monotonous.

if it's right on schedule then el Clasico will happen on 16/10 ( it's not until a month away). Reportedly, Xavi and Barca's management have discussed the news about the injuries to their core players (Kounde and De Jong), fortunately, the team that Barca will face in the La Liga next match is Mallorca, so injured players can rest and recover a bit. if kounde and de jong later do not play in the el clasico match then it is certain that barca will be overwhelmed against madrid.

Not only that, there is also Araujo who is still receiving treatment now.
Barcelona have confirmed that Kounde is reportedly suffering from a thigh problem and is expected to be out for around four to five weeks. and Araujo, who is suspected of having an adductor muscle injury, still has to return to conduct further examinations whether to be absent for a long or short term.
If this is true then it is certain that Kounde will not be able to play in his El Clasico for the first time.

Agree with what you said because even though Messi was there when their midfield was not replenished by Maestro tiki taka because Xavi and Iniesta left actually Barcelona's golden era began to falter from there.

Yes, without proper midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta, Messi can't shine again as previously. His era is over once Iniesta decided to leave Barcelona. Although Barcelona has many good midfielders, there are no midfielders that can replace the roles of Xavi or Iniesta. In my opinion, when tiki-taka era is over, Messi era is over as well.

Messi in PSG was not the same like when he was in barcelona. I just said based on what i have been watching between when he was in barcelona and PSG, there are different things when he was in barcelona and PSG. When xavi and iniesta gone, messi still able to give very big contribution to the barcelona. The era for messi already gone and this is the fact. This time his performance in PSG was not so impressive like when he was in barcelona but i know that there are so many variables who affected his performance in PSG

Of course, it is because Messi is getting old and Messi is no longer getting the service as he got in Barcelona previously. When he was in Barcelona, he is a special player, he is the target man and every player tries to give assists to him as many as possible. But in PSG he is no longer a special player, he must work hard to score. He doesn't get many chances to score as he ever experienced in Barcelona.

If de Jong wants to stay in barcelona he should cut his salary. I think Barcelona is happy with his performance. What makes them think is his salary. If he does not lower his Salary and asks for the same money, we keep hearing news that he may be transferred to another team for a long time.

He has been willing to take a pay cut for the last few seasons but Barcelona's treatment is actually not very wise for De Jong even in the last week when the transfer of players was about to close there was never a talk of him being sanctioned if he didn't want to leave even though they still had debts for De Jong's salary arrears.
Actually they should be better now because it would be very disappointing if they only wanted his services regardless of the rights he had to receive.

[sayaya17]

New era and new faces. Well we have to view the achievements of barcelona this season can this transition period be successful by winning the Laliga trophy this season. Barcelona is dominated by star players and their chances in Laliga are big enough to get the title trophy but real madrid as defending champions also had a good rally at the start of this season. well can xavi make this situation different when they meet in El Clasico later. the international break that just took place also had a pretty bad impact on barcelona because some of its core players suffered injuries which would affect their physicality when they returned to their clubs.

Inevitably they have to force this because even though their target is for the long term but with the amount of spending they spent in the transfer market some time ago and their current financial condition if they want to make a profit they obviously have to bring at least one Trophy to Camp Nou because otherwise this will make things worse and it is not impossible that news of their financial condition is getting worse again next season.

Barcelona's spending is indeed very large in this year's transfer market to bring in several new players. As you said it means that Barcelona must be
able to win at least one trophy this season, so that Barcelona's enormous expenditure is not in vain. It would be better if in the Champions
League Barcelona could step up to the semifinals or finals, it could provide them with quite a large income. Of course for Xavi to be a very big
pressure, because Xavi must be able to make Barcelona not only show a good performance, but surely Xavi should be able to bring Barcelona
to a trophy. Especially with the current Barcelona squad which can be said to be perfect, it's a bad thing if Barcelona doesn't get a single trophy
this season. If Barcelona fail to win a trophy this season, what you fear will indeed happen, it could worsen Barcelona's financial condition. I hope
Xavi can do his best for Barcelona, because everything really depends on how Xavi uses the star players that Barcelona currently has.

[Prince Malik]

Barcelona must move on from Messi because Messi era at Barcelona is over. Now that Barcelona has new young players in its squad, Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi are the pearls of Barcelona future. The combination of different generations of players in the Barcelona squad has made the team stronger than ever. If Barcelona insists on bringing Messi back to Camp Nou it won't have much impact on the team because Messi can't play like he used to anymore. Now Messi can only use his experience and the remnants of his energy to help the team he is defending.

Messi can not be separated from Barcelona because of his brilliant achievements at the time in Barcelona uniform. It's something that can't be denied, it's just that now many are comparing it. Even when Barcelona is down, Messi's name is always a conversation. This is not good for Barcelona, because if it continues then there will be no progress. I hope those who always talk about Messi move on and have more faith in Barcelona now.

Messi and Barcelona have a strong history and connection, it was so sad to see both parties separated due to financial issues which forced the club to do an overhaul of the heavy wage players which Messi unfortunately happens to fall under this category. Xavi has said before that he wants Messi in his team, there is a possibility Messi could return to the club and end his career with the club.

it doesn't sound too crazy for Messi to move back and end his career in Barcelona, sounds about right, he's getting a little old, he won a lot of balloon dors, he won leagues and champions league, he Copa America with Argentina, he broke multiple records, World cup is the only one left and no way he'll be playing after 4 years from now, it is very likely that he could play another season next year and move to Barcelona and retire there.

[Velvet78]

I don't think Atletico Madrid's squad is weak. They have a lot of stars and talented players in their squad. However, Atletico Madrid's performance has been poor. I would say that their match strategy is not good so Atletico Madrid is not able to perform well. Diego Simeone should change his match strategy. He has been applying the same match strategy for a long time. Thus a team cannot play consistently well. Because the opponent is already aware of Atletico Madrid's match strategy. I would say Madrid management should change their coach.

They don't have bad players indeed. Like I said, it is all about the strategies.

Simeone even thought of quitting his job last season after having a bad run for a long time. But after starting to recover he must have changed his mind. However things aren't going on well now as well. The same struggles are going on for them. I think that Simeone can make this decision for real this time before Atletico Madrid board take any action about this situation. Maybe they will need a long time to adapt to a new system but it will worth it as long as they find the right coach.

Messi name has become big in Barcelona. even i don't think when messi is no longer in barcelona. I used to support Barcelona because there was Messi in it. but after messi out i became confused. but in the end i'm still a barcelona fan even without messi. because I believe barcelona will continue to give birth to stars in the world of football. but it would be great if messi returned to barcelona. although I've heard the news that it will happen in the next season. when messi runs out of contract with his current club. but I don't think it will be that easy.

He has agreed to cut his salary and he has stated that if he won't leave from barcelona. Laporta was also making him try to stay in barcelona. He will not go anywhere. In my opinion if that's clear that if he will not go to the somewhere until his contract will be ended.
I think that's just another rumour. The fact that if de jong didn't wanna go to the another club. some clubs have been offering him lots of money.

Laporta and Barcelona did not respect De Jong who contributed a lot for them since his transfer to Nou Camp. I don't support Barcelona and Laporta with their activities and if we do in-depth research, we will know it is not incident at all. It is how they treat their players, unfairly from Suarez, Messi to De Jong.

They did not only request to cut off salary of De Jong but also made pressure to reject pay salary to the player as well as refuse to give him chance to leave the club. De Jong did not join them to play for free, no salary. As a big club, reject to pay salary for players after many months is sucked.

I think that's just another rumour. The fact that if de jong didn't wanna go to the another club. some clubs have been offering him lots of money.

I don't think so. De Jong was not happy with Barcelona treatment for him. In addition, he knows his position in the club is not safe and wanted to find another club with which he can have a safe position to play regularly. He wanted it for the World Cup with the Dutch. However, now he has to accept to stay there and if he wants to leave, let's wait for the end of World Cup and winter transfer.

I think MLS is the most likely destination for Busquets as we have seen before most football legends and old boys moving to the MLS before retirement more like a league for players due for retirement so seeing Busquets move to the MLS won't be a surprise to me at all. Busquets is such a fine player and which ever league he finally finds himself and which ever club he will definitely be a good addition to the team and will improve the squad.

Since last season Busquets actually interested went to MLS because Barcelona or him don't have any plan to extended contract and i have to say his era has been ended in Barcelona and he has spend 14 years in Barcelona and at that time he has good trio with Iniesta and Xavi which makes Barcelona get plenty of trophies so he might be considers as Barcelona legend moreover during his career he only playing at this team however next destination club for him is Inter Miami and Barcelona don't have to worried regarding his replacement because they have Pedri and Gavi as one of the most talented midfielder for Barcelona

[RILWAN]

I read in some news that De Jong was withdrawn by the Netherlands at that time to anticipate that he wouldn't get injured even though he did have a problem but I don't think he was too bad when compared to Araujo and Kounde because they reportedly have to rest a few weeks to recover which means there are several matches which they have to miss.

The major issue between De jong and Barcelona is the salary if not the club is satisfied with his performance and contribution to the club this season and if I am in his position I will opt in for a salary cut and once that is done increase the performance so that in the next season the value of De Jung will increase if he remains in Barcelona or decides to move to other club but for now salary cut is very important to the player future.

Xavi has said before that he wants Messi in his team, there is a possibility Messi could return to the club and end his career with the club.

Xavi has already told Barcelona officials about his desire to bring Messi back to Barcelona, of course Xavi wish can be fulfilled because Messi and Barcelona have a good history of relationship and the closeness of Xavi and Messi is much more than just friends. I think there is no reason for Messi to refuse an offer from Xavi because the closeness of the two Barcelona legends is very close, can't imagine if Messi and Lewandowski are a duo in Barcelona front line. Obviously this will be the initial turning point of Barcelona success with Xavi.

I think the reason that made De Jong want to stay at Barcelona isn't that Barcelona still owes him, but because he really just wanted to play for Barcelona and he has high loyalty to Barcelona. So most likely he would be willing if his salary was cut. We all know that De Jong turned down offers from Man United and Chelsea which both teams are even willing to pay off Barcelona's arrears to him but De Jong still insists on not leaving Barcelona. I think if Barcelona had a solution to their financial crisis then they wouldn't have let De Jong go.

That's the main reason why he wanna stay at barcelona rather than going to the another club. I have seen him was saying the same thing several matches. For a common player getting a big cut for their salary would be a disaster but de jong can accept it caused by he loves with barcelona no matter what happened with the club. It seems like when the club bankrupt and the de jong wanna go to the another club.
I know he is very loyal with barcelona.

This happens when you love a club. De Jong really loves Barcelona. Everyone is quite surprised by his decision. Where other players wait to move to the club, De Jong insists on staying at the club when he gets the chance. In fact, what happens when there is true love.

If Messi eventually comes to Barcelona back that means Barcelona has finally gotten a complete squad.  If xavi succeds in bringing Messi  that means it so certain for Barcelona to win the Laliga title and also to win the Champions League.  Messi's  was so used to Barcelona, Messi and lewandowski will be a good combination.

Won't that put the likes of Raphina and Dembele in a bad plays?
A legend is a legend yes but Xavi shouldn't do any to affect young players game at any way
Unless they have to use Messi in thr number 10 position that would make more sense.

I agree with you. De Jong loves the club Barcelona. He is very loyal to the Barcelona club. So he remains at Barcelona despite receiving many good offers. Other clubs agreed to pay higher wages to De Jong. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, cut De Jong's wages further due to their financial crisis. However, Barcelona needed a talented midfielder like De Jong. De Jong's performance has been good and consistent in almost every match.
