La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[W Jr.]

Yes, he is still very young. So at that age, we also enter the age of puberty where the peak periods of ego are still very visible. So I personally prefer not to make the problem too big. Besides, Lewandowski sometimes does the same thing. Unless Yamal keeps making these mistakes over and over again and makes his team lose. But I think these young players will understand it as time goes by. Because you already have good skills. he just has to learn more about the importance of cooperation and restrain his ego more for the good and victory of the club.

Barcelona will only improve in preformancs if the players are cooperative and I've watched tough games with both players having issues and facing difficulty interacting with each other. Lamine Yamal is still very young and promising, he's open to golden opportunities in his path but he has to obey his senior colleagues who are already experienced because if he want to go far in his football career, he will make preparation on becoming new a better version of himself. However everything will be resolved and also expects the best results to come clean.

They will slowly start to develop those attributes with time and experience. Of course other experienced players has to chime in and try to give them their expert opinions and the player also should be willing to take in those advices. Barcelona are building their squad and developing these youn players. Naturally there will be some slight upsets due to mistakes but in future they will create a very strong team if they go down this road. Manager just has to make sure that these young players start to coordinate with the team and play a team game instead of being selfish.

Xavi is one of the best coaches in this regard. He can add young players to the team and take them to a great level. The young players he has brought to Barça so far prove this. Along with Real Madrid, they are one of the best teams in Spain and have the best infrastructure. Barcelona will have a young and very strong squad in La Liga, Spain, in a few years.

Barcelona has a significant player deficiency. Even though Lewandowski is in the forward area, I don't think he will be as good in a few years. Barcelona is missing a young and effective striker. Alvarez would be a great alternative, but there just isn't enough money to buy him. Manchester City is an important team and they have a star like Haaland, but I still do not think they will let Alvarez go.

As others have said, Barcelona must do something good in the long term by bringing in a capable center forward. I also feel that Alvarez is a player who fits what Barcelona expects, especially in terms of quality, but Alvarez is a mainstay player who costs a lot to sign. Barcelona cannot afford to do it in the near future because they are more focused on improving their financial condition instead of spending a lot of money on expensive players who do not guarantee success.

Lewandowski can still be expected so far, but Barcelona certainly must have capable reserve players so that their performance can be in line with the plan. Lewandowski is old and definitely prone to injury, so Xavi needs to think about other players so he can replace him when he is injured.

Barcelona don't have enough money to buy key players and I don't think Guardiola will try to sell Alvarez because he is very good and is helping the club if Manchester City sell the boy he will be hard to get better player like him and he will affect the club in summer, Barcelona need to sell some of there players if they want to buy Alvarez because they won't sell him for a low price because the boy is skilled and talented and I am sure if he comes to Barcelona he will enjoy playing there and win many trophys and awards.

Barcelona needs to acquire players since some of its current players are getting older and they need to bring in new players in order to perform effectively. Lewandowski has started to play poorly after returning from injury, and I believe he will not win the Golden Boot this season since he is not scoring goals like he did last season I believe Bellingham or Griezman will win the Golden Boot because both are playing well.

[Ndabagi01]

Currently, Lewandowski is still the mainstay of Barcelona's front line, but if we remember his age, Lewandowski is not a mainstay or long-term solution for Barcelona's attack line. So like it or not, Barcelona has to look for a worthy replacement to replace Lewandowski in attack.
However, I think that the one who is suitable to replace Lewandowski is Alvares, who is a young player and a valuable asset for Manchester City, and is a player who is quite capable as a striker and worthy enough to be considered as a replacement for Lewandowski. Alvares, who is still relatively young, still has the opportunity to become an even more talented player.

This transfer does not appear feasible to me because of how valuable and important Alvarez is to Manchester City. When it comes to moving him to Barcelona, they need a lot of money because of his age and how valuable he will be to them for a long time. Let's consider another option for that position if Lewandowski leaves but not Alvarez. Barcelona should invest in young players for the future of the club rather than old players who will not last long with them.

Regardless alot can be done with the players Barcelona has now, there are lots of talent in every wing but the coach is not able to manage the team, that's the problem I see in Barcelona and until Xavi Hernandez leaves the situation may just remain the same.

Do you believe Xavi Hernandez is to blame for all of their current problems, or do you believe they simply lack the right players to fill those positions? To some extent, I believe they still have good players to play with for the time being, but they must consider the club's future, particularly the striking role, which is crucial to every team.

[Falconer]

I see people talking about money when discussing about Barcelona problem, honestly I think this is beyond money, Barcelona actually has a bad management system and top players are seeing that, it would be hard for Barcelona to get a top player except he is very much interested in Barcelona.

If you're right, then I don't think Barcelona won the La Liga title last season by 10 points from Real Madrid. Barcelona has managed its team very well and they have started to find a good way in managing their finances since Laporta became President. Whatever you think, even Real Madrid were not as good as they were last season.

Even though I am a Real Madrid fan, I do not underestimate Barcelona and the way they manage their team. Real Madrid is strong because they have everything they need, including money, while Barcelona is better because they are able to turn several of their academy players into stars. I can't hide this fact, even Barcelona could compete fiercely with Real Madrid when they experienced a financial crisis.

Unfortunately Barcelona won't be able to get Alvarez, since they don't have such amount of money to afford him and Man City won't want to let him go except a huge offer.
In as much as Barcelona needs a proper 9, they may try to stick with Ferran Torres as alternative till the end of the season and see how much he did improve, Fati might not be a 9 but he has been doing well on loan, he may be a good option for them later on

Barcelona is Barcelona and as such they always go for best irrespective of circumstances. If Alvarez is what Barcelona needs to get their ship sailing then I think they would definitely go for him with everything they have not minding the asking price of Manchester city.  though they(Barcelona) seems to be facing some financial constraints at the moment but I think they are alot more better now than some two or three years back when they couldn't lure in big players as a result of financial constraints, but they are getting out of that situation gradually and very soon they would start having big player in the locker room, as it used to be some decades ago.

Sometime, it is not all about the money that the club will spend in acquiring a player at some point if they have the conviction that the player will aid them in success in the coming days, so far so good,  Barcelona have performed well in tLa la Liga last season and also they have managed to make a remarkable fit in this season and having a top player like Alvarez on the club will ve a great hight.
Looking at the money that it will cost Barcelona to acquire the players the money may be huge but what it will add to the club, and the next transfer window will show if the club will make that move or not.

By looking at the value of Julian Alvarez now it will be very difficult to happen because however seeing the current condition of Barcelona who are still experiencing problems in their finances bringing Alvarez is very difficult when they still limit money for player transfers in order to stabilise their cash. But indeed for the end of this season they still have to try to find new players because after all with the current situation where Ansu is on loan at Brighton and Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo who will go back to their respective clubs because of the expired loan contracts this will bring Barcelona to a crisis in attackers.
Although there are some players who can be used as options such as Ferran or Gavi still this will still be very lacking in my opinion and most likely they will still force Lewandowski who at the beginning of the season did not go well but is slowly regaining momentum in scoring goals.

[QueenVera]

Lewandowski did not score a goal in the 6 matches he played with Barcelona, two goals in the match against Alaves reopened his goal tally this season. That's why he's not on the list of top scorers so far, and if I'm not mistaken he also suffered an injury at the start of last season, so he missed several matches too. Jude Bellingham was unstoppable in scoring goals in his first season with Madrid, and I don't think Griezzman will be able to overtake Bellingham in the future.

The season is still very long, what needs to be avoided is injury problems, which make things worse. Competition for the list of top scorers will become increasingly fierce as the season progresses, as will the competition in the top four of the standings which is now dominated by Girona. It could be that Artem Dovbyk will continue to add to his goal tally to help Girona lead the La Liga points table.

Bellingham has shown why he’s the signing of the season with the goals he’s been banging in match in and out, Lewandowski has been out with injuries and out of top scorers tally but he could get back on his feet when he gets in form, cause he's a very good finisher that could score a brace or more in a match when he's fully in form

We’re still far way from the end of the season and there’ll sure be a fierce competition especially when Real Madrid and Barcelona get back on their feet, I think it’ll be a great season when we get half into the season, and when both Jude Bellingham and Lewandowski return I don't think any other player could be able to match their goal scoring record this season maybe Griezzman could try but it's either Lewandowski or Bellingham that could win the golden boot.

Barcelona will not sign Julian Alvarez, but Xavi could pressure the club to bring in any player he wants. Barcelona is still struggling to fix its financial problems, so their main focus is quality at a more reasonable price. It's impossible to expect Barcelona to be willing to spend $80m to $100m on a player like they did on Coutinho, Dembele and Griezmann in the last few seasons right now. Barcelona is still doing quite well with some of its free and loan signings, so I guess they won't make the same mistake again.

Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Robert Lewandowski are the 3 most expensive players brought in by Barcelona in the last 2 seasons, while Barcelona only spent €3.40 million on Oriol Romeu this season. Barcelona's transfer policy has improved, so I don't see any chance of them spending hundreds of millions of dollars to bring in one player while their finances are still bad.

I think Manchester City will not release Alvarez to another team in the near future because he is one of Manchester City key players who will be prioritized for the long term. Well, for Barcelona, ​​they do have a financial crisis and in last season transfer window they couldn't move actively to recruit players because of the limited money they had. In the winter transfer window, maybe this will also prevent them from recruiting players because their finances have not completely improved. In general, there may be many options that Xavi will do, one of which is selling player and buying a player who has a better level of quality to support them to become champions this season.

Well, for Lewandowksi, he is already old, perhaps his energy will quickly disappear due to age and he may not be able to play full time in the coming season. Lamine Yamal will probably be Xavi priority for the next season and I'm sure Barcelona have a lot of young strikers and we just need to see Xavi give opportunities to their young players.

A good replacement for lewandoski is a very smart idea that the Barcelona team needs to buy into at this moment because dependency on lewandoski who happens to be an injury prone player at this moment will really have a negative effect on their performance on the long run.

Lewandoski has been a very good striker for Barcelona and ever since he arrived Barcelona, except for times he was injured, he has been at his very best. Now that he happens to be injury prone, if he wants to retire from the Barcelona probably after two years just like you did said, going to the Arabian side would be a good one but I think he's definitely going to have a drop in value because they aswell know what it means that he is injury pron and mind you the reason these Arab men do try getting all these big names to their league is for business purposes so if he isn't looking good for business, it's definitely going to affect his value.

Xavi can still rely on Lewa in his squad, and he proved it in the Alaves match. His instinct for scoring goals is still proven to be Barcelona's mainstay. However, the problem is that the system that Xavi implemented is not very profitable for him. So the Polish player had time to express his complaints to the coach. At the same time, several of Barcelona's core players were injured. In the end, Barcelona's performance was unstable. Plus, Lewa was injured several times. However, he still deserves to be a pure striker in the El Barca squad.

Talking about potential replacements for Lewandowski, Barcelona has actually prepared them. several players come from Lamas Sia and another is a young star player from Brazil, namely Vitor Roque. Rumor has it that Deco will accelerate his efforts to bring him to Camp Nou.
By the way, referring to when Lewa was interviewed by several sports media, he said that he would end his career at Barcelona. In fact, he even said he was not interested in accepting an offer from a Saudi League club. but who knows, maybe one day he might change his mind. And talking about the Barcelona striker's injury, the fact is that when he joined Barcelona he didn't have a very long recovery period. So, I think Lewandowski is still a player who can be relied on even though he is 35 years old.

The supporters believe Xavi Hernandez to do a great job for the team, and they're patient with him to deliver the club in crucial moments. Robert Lewandowski age doesn't matter currently because he's still in shape and achieving prominent results with the Bluagrana. Lewandowski can still perform wey higher than young rising players, he's experiencing and just got everything he needs, he loves playing in Barcelona jersey and he's not thinking of exiting Camp Nou anytime soon. Lewandowski is an important player, if he's absent, the team will experience few challenges in games.

Yeah you are correct because irrespective of how money is very important on a survival of every team but in times of Barcelona money is not only there problem because they have a very impressive youngsters that are willing to improve if being coached properly.

Currently, it seems that things have changed very differently where money and young players must be considered important for all teams if the team wants to get better development in each season. Now Barcelona must have this if they still want to defend their title this season and still want the UCL title this season, because last season Barcelona did not have success in the UCL so they must be able to try this season.

The thing is that if Barcelona could utilize the players they have by developing them in other to enhance there performance it will really help the team but however the only area that need money on Barcelona team is there defense because there defense seem more week in performance so if they could buy some good defenders there defense system will be very strong.

Barcelona has the opportunity to target back line players in the transfer market next year, so it is clear that Barcelona really needs money to make its target successful when the transfer market opens. But I also don't know which players from the team they are targeting later because now almost all the rumors don't work for certain on that matter.

Yeah that's why money is also very important on every club to enable them be able to make some decisions, but however I believe that as big as Barcelona they should be able to have a huge funds that could cover up all there expenditures because if truly they are short of funds it will really going to be a disaster to them in times of improving there club, however they are supposed to have a good management team that are supposed to make a provision of reserve funds in case of a scenario like this.

[Velvet78]

Lewandowski is still quite useful for Barcelona. So far his statistics are like 7 goals and 3 assists in 11 games in the La Liga. I think this is quite good when we think he is 35 years old now. The main problem with him is inconsistency now. Because they haven't been scoring for 6 games in a row including the Champions League games as well until the Alaves one.

He put a really good end to that bad streak by scoring 2 goals there. However his contribution will be more valuable in bigger games. Especially in the Champions League he is needed quite much.

Well, in terms of goals and assists, Lewandowski still does quite well compared to other players. But you should remember that Barca fans and management are still not satisfied with those numbers. Perhaps they placed too much trust, or their greed was too great. It can be considered that Barca recruited him to replace Messi's departure. Therefore, Lewandowski's responsibility is enormous.

He remains the team's center forward. The burden of age and injury has made Lewandowski no longer a reliable fulcrum for Barca. It's time for Xavi to consider plan B for Lewandowski's position. Otherwise, the Polish striker will likely be exhausted at the peak and sprint stages of the season, causing all of Barca's plans this season to fall apart.

I think Manchester City will not release Alvarez to another team in the near future because he is one of Manchester City key players who will be prioritized for the long term. Well, for Barcelona, ​​they do have a financial crisis and in last season transfer window they couldn't move actively to recruit players because of the limited money they had.

Lamine Yamal will probably be Xavi priority for the next season and I'm sure Barcelona have a lot of young strikers and we just need to see Xavi give opportunities to their young players.

Alvarez is one of the best players at Manchester City and is still very young with a lot of experience. This has become a normal thing and often happens, but if you want to get money, I'm sure there are still many ways because Manchester City is one of the big football teams, so it will be easy to raise more money.

There are several interesting ways regarding Xabi Alonso's future career that I think could become reality next season. There are three options in my opinion.

The first option is that he stays at Bayer Leverkusen because he wants to enjoy what he has built himself and reap the rewards if he sees the potential to win (more) titles with Bayer Leverkusen.

The second option is that Real Madrid is already in talks with him behind the scenes and they let him know that they want him at all cost if he plays a successful season with Bayer Leverkusen.

The third option is somewhat unexpected for most here, but once I heard the Bayern Munich bosses talk about Xabi Alonso and they couldn't stop praising him, saying what a great guy and personality he is and that he would become an amazing coach one day. What will happen if Tuchel gets sacked towards the end of the season and Xabi Alonso is the one who beats Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga? Could it be possible that Bayern Munich will try to make Alonso take Tuchel's position?

 Alonso's exploit for Bayern Leverkusen has placed him in potential spots as there'd ever be, teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. No doubt for the current team, after them seeing his abilities and his skills in securing victories, him being the one that's literally brought out the exploits of Leverkusen, they'd definitely want to retain him as they see a very big possibility of more titles been won and they just want to secure more wins and team growth for themselves.

 Thesame applies to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, they've seen a whole lot abilities in Alonso and the possibility of it been maximized, however the possibility of him joining Realmadrid is higher than that of Bayern Munich cause Thomas Tuchel just recently joined the Bavarians and his chances of winning the title is high.

Last season, Almeria managed to stay in La Liga because they had one point difference with Valladolid, but it seems like Almeria is under pressure this season. Garitano, as the new head coach who was recruited by Almeria last month. Him also haven't been able to improve the Almeria team's performance, because in the last few matches in La Liga, the Almeria team didn't get any points.
It's quite bad result actually, but also we may must given Garitano more time to improve performance of the Almeria team.
