La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wmaurik]

Real Madrid has a solid squad of young players. As for the deficiency in the forward area, they must be considering making do with Joselu this year because a serious player will be added here next year. We all know that name, Mbappe. With Mbappe joining the team, I think Real Madrid will be good enough to be champions of the UCL for a few years.

What the Real Madrid squad really hopes is that Mbappe's arrival to the Real Madrid team next year will not disturb other players in the same position. This means that even if Real Madrid doesn't release Joselu this year, I don't think it will be a loss for Real Madrid because it will actually be very helpful for Real Madrid when the team has a player like Joselu and you can see for yourself that what Real Madrid needs now is a better player for the front line so it wouldn't be wrong if Real Madrid relied on Joselu this year or before Mbappe's arrival next year.

Don't you all find it weird that Barcelona's wage cap has been reduced from 648 million to 270 million? That's unfair.
Why has La Liga led by Javier Tebas made it their priority to fight Barcelona? How are they going to compete against Madrid in the league with a wage cap of 270 million while Madrid has a wage cap of 728 million?
This seems like a way to make sure Barcelona doesn't strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. It's no secret that Barcelona wants Vitor Roque to join them in January, now they have to sell a player or reduce the salary of a player before they can register Roque.

There's no way you'll tell me that Barcelona doesn't generate more income than Atletico Madrid and even Atletico has a higher wage cap than Barcelona.
Barcelona has done all the can to reduce its wage cap and still compete but it seems La Liga is not having it.
Let's not even talk about the numerous controversial refereeing decisions every match week.
Doing this to Barcelona takes them 2 steps backward despite how hard they've worked.

I heard this story from a slightly different side - insiders write that Tuchel dreams of getting rid of Kimmich (because he supposedly slows down the game), while the management and players of Bayern support Kimmich. If Tuchel can strengthen his position at the club then such a transfer will become likely, especially given the fact that Bayern wants to get Raphinha, but in the summer when the exchange of players was discussed, Bayern were against adding Kimmich to the deal.

Kimmich is still a great player and I don’t understand why Tuchel isn’t a fan of him. Yes defensively he is not the type that win challenges like Casemiro esque but he is one that connects the attack and defense and this is similar to the pattern of Xavi himself in the good old days so it is not surprising seeing him have an admiration for him. I don’t see Kimmich leaving Bayern anytime soon because he is the closest thing to been there leader after Nuer and Muller both in the club and the National team. And we all know that Bayern also pays concentration to decision from the nations association before making decisions like this.
You meant to say his replacement is João Palhinha of Fulham, yes he was almost signed and the deal fell apart in the deadline day when Fulham couldn’t find a replacement. Today he just signed a new contract with them keeping him till 2028 which means Bayern might be spending more to get him next transfer window

I wonder why you are still expecting Mbappe for Real Madrid attacking line because after all, the transfer window is still a long time to open again and you should have more confidence in the current Real Madrid squad. After all, even though Vinicius and Rodrygo are still young, but they will also have good long term prospects for Real Madrid of course. After all, Mbappe is also young, right, and of course Vinicius and Rodrygo will also be able to have very good quality from time to time. Anyway, I personally do not doubt the quality of Real Madrid, because after all Real Madrid has a good winning mentality, and that will make Real Madrid still fine of course.

Yes, in the whole of La Liga, Real Madrid's has a formidable midfield. Knowing that  Mbappe is most likely going to be part of the squad next year makes it even better. If Madrid gets another young top striker, they will have a core of young players for the coming 5-7 years they win at least 1-2 UCL. However, for this season, I do not want to get my hopes too high for the team. I will be ecstatic if they win the La Liga and also one domestic title.

Real Madrid have a lot of young players no doubt but let's not forget that it not the agevthat does the finishing job but the experience, the club is playing a very good football and they have been consistent over the years especially in the UCL but I think they have got to get in a good forward to fasting their ball movement very well.

Jeselu is a good choice but will he be good in the team?  I think a combination of Vinicous Junior and Mbappe if he Joins the Real Madrid team next season will be classic but I still believe that without Mbappe in the team next year Real  Madrid will still go all the way to win another Champions league and other trophies cause the team is more experience than most of the teams will high profile players to be honest.

Vallecano will welcome Alaves at home. After 2 quite impressive victories, Vallecano lost 0-7 at home to Atletico Madrid. That failure substantially impacted the spirit and confidence of Coach Francisco and his team. But meeting an opponent as weak as Alaves is a very favorable opportunity, and perhaps they can do it even though it is complex. Vallecano has home field advantage and will make the most of it to win 3 points against Alaves. Alaves' weak defense away from home also contributed to Vallecano's victory. Vallecano is not too strong in attack, but they will score at least 1 goal to win.

These two teams both have equal strength this season where Rayo Vallecano and Alaves have the same series of results, namely two defeats and two wins and what makes them appear different is in terms of the goals they conceded in the previous 4 matches.
So my strongest prediction is that this match will probably end in a draw. Maybe for Alaves they have good enough capital to face this match because they recorded a win in the previous match which means they might be able to continue their winning trend in Week 5 of Laliga this season.

What the Real Madrid squad really hopes is that Mbappe's arrival to the Real Madrid team next year will not disturb other players in the same position.

Was there a sign if mbappe will join in madrid next season? I don't even see a powerful sign if mbappe will do that. It's still remian speculation at this moment. Madrid will keep play with the same strategy as the previous match.
Bellingham, rodrygo, joselu. These guys can become the only attacking lines to rely on. Mbappe is far from joining in real madrid at this moment, otherwise PSG has been targeting 5 players from real madrid for winter transfer season.

This means that even if Real Madrid doesn't release Joselu this year, I don't think it will be a loss for Real Madrid because it will actually be very helpful for Real Madrid when the team has a player like Joselu and you can see for yourself that what Real Madrid needs now is a better player for the front line so it wouldn't be wrong if Real Madrid relied on Joselu this year or before Mbappe's arrival next year.

Joselu was coming as a loan from espanyol. There's no problem to let him go once his contract will end at the end of this season. Ancellotti shows no sign in extending joselu's contract at this moment.
Joselu's performance was far from last season. Madrid has some options if mbappe's plan will be failed. The club is not only pushing into the one person.

There was also another great striker like haaland which is having less value than mbappe.

I think we know in the next season we are going to have Mappe in Real Madrid and everyone is sure about it, however since he wanted to leave PSG but he failed there is still a chance for this palyer to stay in PSG.
But I think Real Madrid should not rely on an old player like Joselu and on the other hand they can't wait for Mbappe until his contract ends I think the best Real Madrid can do is to hire more younger players to take the place of forwards they left.

You are pretty sure Mbappe will come to the Bernabeu stadium next season. I think anything can happen next season because if Mbappe is a free transfer he will be able to choose to join any team next season. Real Madrid will have many competitors next season to recruit Mbappe because many teams are interested in recruiting Mbappe.

At the start of this season, Real Madrid did not experience any obstacles to their progress because they were able to win every match at the start of this season. Ancelotti has a fairly strong squad on the front line because Vini and Rodrygo can have a good impact on Bellingham and Joselu. Real Madrid's series of wins cannot be separated from Bellingham big role this season, so Bellingham is the best purchase made by Ancelotti in the transfer window this season.

Of course, Real Madrid has many strong young midfielders. They also have young wingers. If they can sign Mbappe, they will also have a young striker. But they only have Éder Militão and Fran García as the young defenders. However, Real Madrid most key players are young players, it really guarantees for the future of Real Madrid squad. It is true that Real Madrid squad will be safe for more than 5 years. Ancelotti really builds Real Madrid squad for a long term target. We must appreciate what Ancelotti has done!

Sure, for this season, Real Madrid has no strong striker. So, many people don't want to expect much. However, I'm sure Real Madrid still has a good chance to win La Liga trophy at least. For the UCL trophy, Real Madrid probably targets it in the next season.

But I still think that they have a decent mix when it comes to experience. They still have Kroos and Modric and I think even Vinicius Junior could count as an experienced player. This isn't his first season. He has made 150 games for Real Madrid already. If that is not called experience, then what is it?

They have Alaba and Rudiger, Caarvajal, and a few others. They are not lacking experience into a degree that it could turn into a problem for them during the season. Most of the young players they have already also have some good experience on the highest level as well.

Real Madrid is actually doing very well with the midfield players to score goals. They be like don’t have strikers? Don’t need one.

All jokes aside, Real Madrid is definitely doing really well. Imagine what they could have done if they had a genuine striker in the team. And we have been hearing about Mbappé coming to Real Madrid for a long time. But that has not happened yet. And I believe that might actually not happen soon.  Real Madrid will have to spend a good amount of money if they want to get him now.  The question is, will Real Madrid actually spend that much money? Are they willing to bring him in now or will they look for other options?

The transfer window is already over for now. From this perspective, Real Madrid will have to make do with the squad they have until January. The real question is, will they want to pay a high transfer fee to PSG in January and add Mbappe to the team 6 months in advance? This will all depend on how Real Madrid spends the first half. Things look good for now. If it continues like this, the possibility of a free transfer becomes more attractive, that's for sure.

Barcelona has been getting some very good young players. If you look at their u19 team, you will see that there are plenty of players that are worth millions of euros already, and they are like 16-17 year olds as well. Xavi is known for caring about youth talent, and I believe that they are trying to revive the la masia academy to bring in more players that could worth something. They recently bought a few of them for a few million dollars.

Not all of them are there though, some of them are at Barcelona Athletic, which is a whole another team, so that they would get more fierce competition and play real meaningful minutes. That could actually help them in a few years, someone who is 16-17 could play in the league games in 1-2 years, and that should be great help for them.

Appreciated with Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez have braveness for promoting young talent player to senior squad, current young talent Lamine Yamal make new record as young player for Barcelona and he was success get Spain national calling and success scoring goals in his debut match. Current Barcelona young player right now have Pedri, Gavi, Bale and Lamine Yamal.

Xavi Hernandez full trusted with Barcelona academy La Masia and seems not stopping with Lamine Yamal in this season will have new young talented make debut with senior teams actually Barcelona have participants in Champion League and Copa del Rey as competition for young talent show their performance. Can't find with rival team Real Madrid likely most instant way by signing young player and less promotion their players academy.

Barcelona has a good record of finding young players. I hope that Barcelona will be able to find some players like that who will be able to come into the seniors squad and perform well. But it is surely not going to be easy for any young player to do that. One reason for that is they will definitely be under pressure to perform. Which is never a good thing for a young player.

And for some reason, everyone thinks that any player who is going to be promoted like that will start performing like Mbappé. But that is definitely not the case. Xavi is someone who actually cares about young talent as you said. And I genuinely do not think that Barcelona actually have any other options to be honest. Because they cannot spend as much as they want.

Xavi ‘in love’ with €75 million-rated Bayern Munich superstar, wants him at Barcelona – report

Barcelona signed Oriol Romeu this past summer to fill the void left by the departure of former captain and club legend Sergio Busquets.

However, the former Chelsea and Girona midfielder was far from the first choice for Barça manager Xavi Hernandez.

Indeed, the Blaugrana had other names at the top of the priority list, but the financial situation at the club meant that those players were out of reach.

One such name was Bayern Munich midfield mainstay Joshua Kimmich, who was very much on Barcelona’s agenda, but was never a realistic option due to the finances.
Xavi still admires Kimmich

Now, Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito TV is reporting that Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez is still ‘in love’ with Kimmich.

The 28-year-old German international has been a permanent fixture in the centre of the park for the Bavarian giants for years now and it is no secret that Xavi admires his talents greatly.

And, as per Jose Alvarez, Xavi continues to harbour hopes of signing Kimmich at Barça in the near future.

Source: https://barcauniversal.com/xavi-in-love-with-e75-million-rated-bayern-munich-superstar-wants-him-at-barcelona-report/

Well, if Kimmich joins the ranks of Barcelona, that addition wouldn't be bad because they have Lewa and he is a former teammate, which means that they will understand each other very well and they will fit in immediately, so when we do another analysis You can see that Xavi obviously wants to shield himself to secure titles, it's not bad at all, and also as they say in the article, it is said that Kimmich does not want to sign an extension because he knows that the things he can achieve at Barcelona can being bigger than at Bayern, the truth is I wouldn't know why I should leave, but in particular I wouldn't switch from German Football to Spanish Football, because if Xavi really doesn't like it then they will try to throw him away like all the teams do. Spaniards with the best players, but now they don't do it for Lewa, because they know that he performs, but the moment he has an injury, they will no longer see him the same but as a burden, but ask Neymar to Messi.

I heard this story from a slightly different side - insiders write that Tuchel dreams of getting rid of Kimmich (because he supposedly slows down the game), while the management and players of Bayern support Kimmich. If Tuchel can strengthen his position at the club then such a transfer will become likely, especially given the fact that Bayern wants to get Raphinha, but in the summer when the exchange of players was discussed, Bayern were against adding Kimmich to the deal.

Kimmich would be the long time player replacing Busquet in the list of players for Barcelona. Tuchel has his plans and Kimmich as rumoured want to see a new challenge this season.
Xavi is building his own chapter of players and since Kimmich has worked with xavis former boss Pep working with Barcelona should not be a difficult game.
So far Barcelona has done well In the sale and buys they should get a trophy or two.

Because they cannot spend as much as they want.

In àll their findings, I think they should be able to invest in a good quality striker that would replace Lewandowski who's becoming so unfortunate and incompetent due to his age, I felt Barcelona would work on it this season but they rather strengthen other areas if the team, maybe they're preparing to invest hugely for a top class player in that position, and since they don't got a midfielder that could score every week in every game it's best they invest on a quality attacker in the winter windows.
 Most of these youngsters are very talented but lack the experience to espress themselves properly on the pitch but that's why they need to get some playing time at the club to help them develop better and think im impressed with how Xavi is developing those yoing players into world class players and i believe it would benefit them more when those youngsters get fully matured.

Currently the transfer market has closed and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has made a statement that he is quite confident in the current squad, which means they are not too concerned with strikers anymore, the coach thinks that this team is quite capable.
However, if we look at the Real Madrid team's current game, there is a void in the front line, especially after Vinicius suffered an injury.
And regarding the never-ending Mbappe drama, I think Real Madrid will never want to spend a lot of money on this transfer, and maybe we have to wait for next season to see this drama again.

Joshua Kimmich is another version of Lalm and he upgraded his career from a left swing back to a central midfielder in Bayern Munich and Germany. He is a good player and can provide so much flexibility by his ability to play at some positions on field and surely will be useful for Barcelona. I don't actually think Barcelona will have chance to take Kimmich out of Bayer Munich. Some reasons why I think so, Bayern Munich will not let Kimmich go and Barcelona don't have good finance. They will not be able to satisfy high transfer fee demand from Bayern Munich to complete the deal.

It is a latest news about La Liga action against Barcelona.
Barcelona's salary limit cut from 649 million to 270 million.
No budget to buy star players and got a new limit on their salary cap, how Barcelona can get Kimmich?

It is understandable that Real Madrid does not want to spend a lot of money. Almost everyone knows that Kylian Mbappe wants to play in Real Madrid. That's why other teams do not even make offers. Mbappe is certain that he will go to Real Madrid next year, and Real Madrid officials must have told him not to extend his contract with PSG. In this case, they will be able to bring him to the team without having to pay a high transfer fee, and I think waiting a year is a sacrifice that can be made to guarantee the next 5-6 years.

Joshua Kimmich has a currently high market value, reaching €75m. Barcelona is unlikely to pay Joshua Kimmich that much because we know Barcelona's financial condition is not that strong now. Joshua Kimmich's contract with Bayern Munich is still valid until 2025, but Joshua Kimmich admires Xavi and it has become a hard code that Kimmich has a chance to get a new challenge in La Liga.

The problem now is not who Barcelona and Xavi are interested in, but that Barcelona will not have that kind of budget. Moreover, La Liga seems to have set a spending limit for Barcelona where the amount does not exceed 250 million euros, so of course these rumors do not appear to be coming true quickly.

In this case, they will be able to bring him to the team without having to pay a high transfer fee, and I think waiting a year is a sacrifice that can be made to guarantee the next 5-6 years.

regarding Real Madrid, they did not make a big offer to Mbappe because Madrid knew that it would be a waste to offer large amount in the past and it would only be rejected because PSG still wanted to keep this player so it would be useless if they made an offer to another player and PSG officials refused.
and its not surprising that many of us say something uncertain regarding Mbappe wanting to go to Real madrid, it does make sense but what I am worried about is that there will be more drama there so that Real Madrid seems to have failed again to bring in Mbappe and I see it seems like Madrid has other alternatives besides Bringing in Mbappe Madrid is targeting players from the Premier League.

[borovichok]

I think there is no other alternative, if there was they should have done it but in fact Real Madrid did not bring in a replacement striker after Benzema left and they continue to try to bring in Mbappe, this transfer has been very long and I am sure PSG will continue to stick to their ideals and they will not will let Mbappe go for a cheap price, in fact they would rather lose Mbappe for free at the end of the season.
Everything will be answered in the January transfer market, but personally I believe Mbappe will remain at PSG and Real Madrid still really believes in their young players so they don't think they need another striker.

Going to top players have been the decisive action of Los Blancos. They keep going for the best players in the transfer market, concentrating only on important players, developed players and probably not the ones struggling. Carlo Ancelotti have alternatives for the frontlines this season, however his squad got really hits by severe injuries that decline their performance a little bit, perhaps they're back on track. Real Madrid keen on signing Kylian Mbappe instead of exploring other options to sign an outstanding attacker that's best backup replacement for Karim Benzema.
