La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Suarez is not enough for Atletico if they want to win the La Liga. They have to make expensive purchases in the defensive line as well.

You are right. Suarez's effect isn't enough to win La Liga Trophy, he is not a superhero or something like that. Moreover, Suarez just played for Atletico for the first season, we shouldn't expect too much on this. Let's see what he can do in this first season, he still needs time to adapt to his new teammates. Anyway, winning a trophy is about the performance of all squads. I don't believe to win La Liga just rely on a single player. It is impossible for me!!

I agree with you. Atletico will be far ahead in the fight to win the trophy this season. The team is good and they’ve gotten stronger by getting Suarez. Suarez is now in form. He played very well in Barcelona. I hope he played well in Atletico Madrid too.

Last season Barcelona had not only Suarez but also Griezmann and of course Messi.
Yet, they didn't manage to fight for the trophy they had a really bad season and the worst was the disqualification from the Champions League.

Last season, the Barcelona team had a lot of problems. Such as their coach was not successful. The coach did not have a good relationship with the players. Messi's trouble with the club president. These internal quarrels of the team affected matches. Moreover, the defense of Barcelona was not good.
Yeah, you’re right. Suarez is not much enough for Atletico if they want to win La Liga. It is never possible for a team to win a title without the contribution of everyone.

I think Suarez can make a difference in La Liga and with Atletico Madrid.May be they are not going to win La Liga this year but I think they are going to be top contenders for the title.Suarez is a goal machine and he has showed it in every team that he has played.Furthermore the internal problems of Barcelona can probably make Barcelona to make errors more than usual during this year in La Liga.

Indeed there were many internal problems but if you are a big club you should overcome them.
The most serious problem in Barcelona was the one with the coach - we saw in the past similar situations with players being disrespectful to coaches (such as the situation with Sarri and Chelsea) but big clubs have boards that can treat those situations successfully.

Yes. But this season doesn't look like it's going to be any better, even with a new coach. Barcelona are really in a transition period now. They've shipped out a lot of players that they didn't want, making huge financial losses on them as well... but they've not really brought new players in to replace them. They really look like a shadow of themselves at present. You can't see them challenging this year. And there is still the question of just how committed to the cause their star player Messi is going to be, after he was effectively forced to stay against his will.

There are several accusations of financial mis-management at Barcelona. They have signed many players but are still relying on the older team. And most of them complaining about not getting paid. And all the Catalonian drama. There is clearly visible fracture on the team regarding locals and rest of Spain. And it was the same in it's history and is not going anywhere soon.
With Messi in team, they are still a balanced team but they need to plan it right to defeat their competitor Real Madrid.

Barcelona reportedly will cut the salaries of players and club officials due to financial problems. In fact, there is one rumor that I think is quite surprising. The reason is, after success to keep Messi in Barcelona, the financial situation problem due to Corona made Barcelona have to carry out alternative solutions including giving freedom for players to release their contracts. If, Messi wishes of course he can do that, and then he can join City on a free transfer.

All of a sudden they are now fumbling. They should have just let Messi go and got whatever Millions of Euros they expected from his transfer instead of making the move impossible through courts of law.

This COVID-19 situation has brought a lot of historical changes in how things operate in the world. For example, during this transfer window, Real Madrid have not made a single signing for the first time in 40 years. All this after releasing the likes of Bale and James, the Club definitely must have tried to cut the costs with COVID-19 crisis still looming

moving to M City is the right thing for Messi to take, his future at Barca in my opinion is already dim..  Barca's debt is increasing day by day and it will not be easy to solve in fast time.  M City is the right place for Messi to wait for his retirement from football, if he does not take this opportunity, surely his salary will be late in paying and he will loss..

Indeed, there are many problems that occur in Barcelona as you say. Hope that Messi alone will not change everything, I also agree that Barcelona this season will not be challenging and cannot expect much to become champions in La Liga. In the next half of the season, there should be changes if you want to be even better.

[kassex]

Atletico Madrid has a goal to win the Champions League. They have won the La Liga once before, and in the Champions League they have always stopped short of success. Atlético is not strong enough to play on two fronts and they have to choose.

Yes, no player can not change the total game result alone whatever the big player. Messi is also in that position now. There are some misunderstanding that already happened with the team management recently. And all we saw a drama type senario about Messi's Barcelona leave. Messi and Luis Suyarej was the best pair in barsa but Now Messi is alone and some impact happening on Messi now.

I agree that they have added more quality and certainly more depth to their squad and there are 2 of my countryman there too, but I don't see them as favorites to win the Champions league. If they get some lucky draw and some circumstances go in their favor, like no injuries they do have the potential though.

I think they will get far in the Champions League, but I'm not sure if they will win, I always wondered if luck follows them or just play on the result when they reach the final, Diego Simeone is a great coach and now he finally has a good attack maybe the time has come for Ateliko to rule Europe.

Apart from the players, I also heard that staff salaries will be cut. I think this has  to save the club's finances. I think the income from selling the jersey is not enough, they need an audience to buy match tickets. For messi, I think this can happen. But will City still benefit in the long term, is he getting old?

-snip-

exactly, even they need messi int the field, but with current clubs conditions, selling messi with some million euros will help the club survive. Next year he will also become free agent.

@AakZaki, its because of Guardiola factor, of course his age may old enough. but, if Messi join City, Pep can maximized his playing style

Even the Staff salaries to be cut?? What's wrong with Barca's management, have they just lost a crucial partnership?
I think they won't cut Staff salaries unless they are in a big financial crisis. I just know about this information, I am a bit surprised!!

I think the income from selling the jersey is not enough, they need an audience to buy match tickets.

Yes, not enough. They need investors or new partnerships. Expecting more audience isn't a proper solution during this pandemic, bro.

But will City still benefit in the long term, is he getting old?

If the price is still high, I think Man City is better to sign another top player.
Why do they need to spend a big amount of money on an old age player? I agree if Messi isn't young anymore.

I think the staff salaries will be cut is just a rumor, it's true that Barcelona is experiencing financial problems, but there is another way to go.
Of course income from selling jersey will not be enough to solve financial problems in Barcelona. I agree Barcelona need income from ticket
sales, but the number of spectators present must be limited and enforce the COVID19 protocol. In order to prevent the spread of the corona
virus, it is best for Barcelona to release some of its players, including Messi, so it can reduce the burden of paying salaries. It's true that it's
not profitable for Manchester City to actually sign Messi, because he is 33 years old, which has passed its best year.

@MCobian it’s confirmed that the staff of Barcelona will be facing wage cuts, but as of now their player’s will be spared subject to certain conditions being fulfilled which will be disclosed in coming days. Also a vote of no confidence against Barcelona President has been accepted, and in coming days it’ll be put to test which will definitely effect Barcelona current campaign, as the opposite Presidential candidate isn’t keen to keep Koeman as Barcelona’s head coach.

virus, it is best for Barcelona to release some of its players, including Messi, so it can reduce the burden of paying salaries.

Barcelona without Messi will not be the same Barcelona and I don't see any other player to replace Messi in Barcelona. Messi is the center of attention, he has a great talent capable of moving the entire Barcelona team, he had several matches where Messi saved the team from defeats, I am a fan of Real Madrid but I really admire the quality that Messi has.

It's true that it's not profitable for Manchester City to actually sign Messi, because he is 33 years old, which has passed its best year.

Manchester City would benefit greatly from a quality player like Messi, even though Messi is 33 years old and 3X better than any City player. I will take as an example the game between Manchester City - leedes. clearly leeds could have won the game, but missed a lot of goals, but if Messi were playing for City, he would probably created chance of score gol because Messi has good dribbling, he can create opportunities for other players to score goals and he is an expert in scoring goals. In the match between FC Barcelona vs Sevilla, messi made an excellent pass that made the Sevilla defender make a mistake and barcelona score a goal
