La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[temple]

Antoine Griezmann the superstar player of Atletico Marid offered himself to sign a new contract with his team because he wanted to expect his contract for a longer time. It seems Antoine Griezmann is interested in staying in Atletico Madrid for a longer time, Antoine Griezmann has been playing for Atletico Madrid since 2014 and he just left Atletico Madrid for Barcelona for 2 years in 2019 when he came back he tried to do his beat for his team.

I believe he has learned his lesson when he went to Barcelona. It didn't go very well for him there. Supposedly he realized that Atletico is the club he should stay at in order to play his best. When I saw that he is going to transfer to Barcelona, I was quite positive about it and thought he should get along there, but it wasn't that great. Now is playing well and scoring a decent number of goals. If I were him and soon turning 33 years old, I would as well try to get a new contract with a few years duration.

Real Betis also fought well against Girona. This can be considered Betis' success. Real Madrid injured very important players and their treatment is still continuing. For example, Arda Güler, one of the young stars, still could not find a single minute of opportunity. Vinicius' injury disrupted all plans. Despite this, they are still leaders. This is Ancelotti's success that should be congratulated.

This season there are only a few teams capable of troubling Real Madrid in La Liga, the rest do not include Girona and Barcelona. Real Madrid has really shown its quality and experience in La Liga this season even though many of its players have suffered injuries. They actually have problems that really need to be resolved, but so far Real Madrid has been able to keep the line safe without much pressure.

Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have not been able to compete with Real Madrid this season even though Girona has the same points as Madrid. But of course, Real Madrid has a lot of weaknesses due to injuries to its main players so I really get them struggling not to drop points in their last few games.

Soon Barcelona should play in the Spanish Super Cup tournament and that is a piece of bad news for this team before the game they are going to have against. Perdtri is injured in Barcelona and he can't play for his team against Osasuna in this tournament. He will probably get back in the good form and the end of January to at start of April and this can put Xavi and Barcelona under more pressure.

Even though Xavi does his best, the opportunities he has are more limited than his rivals. That's why I can't be angry at Xavi. This will be a very difficult process for Barcelona. Injuries affect them more than other teams because they cannot replace important players.

I agree with this. Ancelotti has been a coach for over 24 years and he has won only 5 league titles while being the coach of the best teams in the Europe. That's not genius if you ask me.
Compare him to Pep for example, In Pep's 14 years as a coach he has failed to win the league title only 3 times. Ones with Barcelona and twice with Manchester City. Meaning he has won 11 league titles in 14 years. That's genius.

Even how they play and the legacy they leave behind each teams they managed cannot be compared.

Ancelotti is a good coach, but I won't call him a genius or the goat of coaching.

They're both excellent coach but we have the top and the inferior when it comes to winning major trophies. Out of the picture if you compare Carlo Ancelotti with Pep Guardiola because Pep is a genius and a piece of workload for Manchester City. He's presence have saved and upgraded the performance of the club, the Manchester City we're hearing today is because of the setting of Pep Guardiola. The board didn't make any mistake by making Pep Guardiola the manager few years back and they're now seeing the evidence of the club.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

I would say Haaland is a better fit than Mbappe in Real Madrid's squad. I say this because we saw Mbappe's performance at PSG, he played a bit selfish. He is a very talented player. But he is only interested in scoring goals, not assists. It's a stark contrast to the way Real Madrid play. We have seen Benzema, he has scored a lot of goals as well as assists.O the other hand haaland is not selfish. He had a lot of assists in the previous season. Also Mbappe is a bit of a one-off. We still don't know which players Ancelotti deems fit for his squad.

I think such comparisons can be a bit tricky; they depend on various factors like the current squad of Real Madrid. How is their playing style, and which player's adaptation will be more suitable for the team? In theory, looking at statistics can give us a general idea, but in reality, when the player is on the field, integrating with the team is a whole different story. And, of course, the coach would know better than us; perhaps Ancelotti already has an answer. However, bringing either one of the two would also depend on negotiations by the leadership as well as the personal choice of the player.

He made his best in Atletico Madrid and lost it after moving to Barcelona. It takes him some months to reclaim his best after returning to Atletico Madrid. He is still lucky enough because he is able do it before he is old enough and his career falls to its down side.

His career actually is revived since World Cup 2022 where he played very well for his national team. It is a booster for Griezman to come back stronger in this season and become a most important player in Atletico Madrid again as he was years ago.

I believe he has learned his lesson when he went to Barcelona. It didn't go very well for him there. Supposedly he realized that Atletico is the club he should stay at in order to play his best. When I saw that he is going to transfer to Barcelona, I was quite positive about it and thought he should get along there, but it wasn't that great.

I believe he actually learned a big lesson and he is smart and experienced enough to avoid any similar adventure. He does know that he is no longer to take more risk for his career and it seems he will satisfy to continue his career in Atletico Madrid until a day he retires there or the club no longer need him and he has to find a new and smaller club to play.

That's right , such a bad performance by the players of a strong team like Barcelona is really not like accepted. The lazy nature of the Barcelona team's players this season, in the game, has caused some ire among Barcelona fans. This season, it is observed that Barcelona is very weak in the race for the league title. It is really disgraceful for Barcelona's coach Xavi that the Barcelona team is in the current 4th place in the La Liga points table this season. But I will not blame Xabi for such an outcome of Barcelona. Because Xavi is a very skilled and intelligent coach. I think with his efforts Barcelona can still turn around. Barcelona's turnaround time, not yet gone. The current season is almost half over and there is still half to go. Xavi's tireless efforts can still lead Barcelona to the top of La Liga

Barcelona's stature delivering below expectations is indeed disappointing to witness. and the frustration among fans is understandable. Xavi has proven himself as a highly skilled and intelligent coach, but the challenges a team faces can be multifaceted. It will take some serious evaluations
for Barcelona to figure out of what have gone wrong.

Blaming Xavi entirely for the current standing might not be fair, because current situation is not in his favor. The halfway point of the season offers a significant opportunity for reflection and adjustment. With the return of some injured players, Xavi have a chance to regroup the team, learn from the first half of the season, and make a strong push for a higher position in the La Liga table. Let's hope Xavi's relentless efforts and the collective commitment of the players will indeed lead Barcelona to a more favorable position in the league.

Barcelona did lose a club-friendly recently. But I don't care about that, probably some people do though. But friendlies are not competitive so I personally don't care. But the current position of Barcelona is definitely very concerning. Because I don't think that they are doing well enough to successfully retain the title. I don't think they will be actually able to defend the title properly, to be honest. Already 7 point difference with the 1st placed team. It is going to be very hard to close that gap. And considering the fact that they are not performing well right now I think it will make their time harder.

Antoine Griezmann offered Atletico Madrid a new contract extension because he had learned from the experience of moving to Barcelona. He is aware that it is very difficult to adapt to another club and there is no guarantee that he will be able to enter the first team if he moves from Atletico. He is currently 32 years old, at that age it is very difficult for him to find a club like Atletico. He is trying to save his career and wants to continue playing in the highest caste at an older age. There he can also play more comfortably because he often has the trust of the coach, this may not be possible at other clubs, especially since he will soon be 33 years old.

Even though Xavi does his best, the opportunities he has are more limited than his rivals. That's why I can't be angry at Xavi. This will be a very difficult process for Barcelona. Injuries affect them more than other teams because they cannot replace important players.

Barcelona have more fixtures scheduled. They competed in La Liga, UCL, Copa del Rey, and Super copa de espana. This means that Barcelona players are prone to injury and fatigue. Xavi has a vital role in players, indeed player injuries are not wanted by every coach and player. But Xavi actually needs to be able to manage. Manage playing minutes, so that they are not tired and easily injured. This is what Xavi did not do in some piriodes. Xavi continues to play his best players, even he does not reduce their minutes.

Real Betis also fought well against Girona. This can be considered Betis' success. Real Madrid injured very important players and their treatment is still continuing. For example, Arda Güler, one of the young stars, still could not find a single minute of opportunity. Vinicius' injury disrupted all plans. Despite this, they are still leaders. This is Ancelotti's success that should be congratulated.

This season there are only a few teams capable of troubling Real Madrid in La Liga, the rest do not include Girona and Barcelona. Real Madrid has really shown its quality and experience in La Liga this season even though many of its players have suffered injuries. They actually have problems that really need to be resolved, but so far Real Madrid has been able to keep the line safe without much pressure.

Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have not been able to compete with Real Madrid this season even though Girona has the same points as Madrid. But of course, Real Madrid has a lot of weaknesses due to injuries to its main players so I really get them struggling not to drop points in their last few games.

several teams below Real Madrid have not been able to compete with the strength of Ancelotti troops, it's just that some of these teams have become challengers or made it difficult for Madrid to maintain the top of the standings. even though several players are injured, we all know that Ancelotti has no shortage of players, even reserve players who have the same performance as the main players, such as Joselu, who has replaced Vinicius several times, can perform well, making a very strong contribution and even being able to score in several matches and match times against Alaves at that time, they only competed with the available players after Nacho was forced to leave the field because he received a red card but was still able to win.
this means that no matter how bad the situation is, this team is still able to continue to be at the top of the standings using reserve players.

If Vinicius is not injured and Real Madrid succeeds in bringing in a reliable striker, Girona will definitely be eliminated quickly because in fact, Girona is not a strong team, they just have luck because they take advantage of the situation when the top teams are focusing on the UCL and we'll see later, I'm sure the UCL will be there. get by Madrid and also the La Liga title.

The team that is a bit troublesome at the moment is Girona, this club is able to put quite a lot of pressure on the standings when compared to its arch rival Barcelona but still Barcelona and Atletico Madrid remain strong rivals of Real Madrid from season to season and this season Real Madrid must add Girona is on the list of clubs that are Real Madrid's strong rivals in the race for the La Liga title. Real Madrid's experience in La Liga cannot be underestimated, it remains a tough competitor for other clubs.

Even though many Real Madrid players have suffered injuries, in reality Real Madrid is still able to stabilize its performance and remain at the top of the standings, unlike Barcelona which is very influential in losing several players due to injury so that Barcelona cannot stabilize its performance like Real Madrid. The strongest competition for the title there are Real Madrid and Girona clubs, but if you look at the experience and depth of the squad, Real Madrid is superior, but if Girona is able to perform more consistently than Real Madrid, I think Girona has a chance of getting the title.

Perdtri is injured in Barcelona and he can't play for his team against Osasuna in this tournament. He will probably get back in the good form and the end of January to at start of April and this can put Xavi and Barcelona under more pressure.

That's bad news and barcelona needs to use alternative player to replace him. I think that barcelona's performance will still far from good. I meant that if the fact that barcelona will be trying so hard to win the game in the spanish super cup. This is the momentum for the club to get at least 1 trophy this season. The winter transfer season is just giving barcelona another pressure caused by there will be a lot of offers to come. It will make some players to leave from the club which will be affecting the performance from barcelona.

I guess that if xavi may be taking available player or even force someone to play in pedri's position. Pedri will be out from the club too but barcelona is not having good replacement for him at this moment.
No doubt that if barcelona is trying so hard in getting the new players to come soon. Barcelona is going to face another crisis if the club was not willing to get a backup for pedri. Another problem is coming for barcelona once some leave from the club as free agent.

Competing in several tournaments can be detrimental when players are injured, but it can also be profitable because they will have the opportunity to win a title, If they fail in other competitions there are still other competitions, but it is also very possible to fail in all of them.
Barcelona's first match after the holiday is against Las Palmas, a promoted team that has performed quite well so far by being able to occupy 9th position in the standings, and Barcelona is still the favorite in this match although they may get bad results which are not they expected, and in a few days compete in the Copa del Rey and then compete in the Spanish Super Cup and in LaLiga they will face Real Betis team who managed to hold their tough opponents to a draw when competing at the Benito Villamarín Stadium so Barcelona need to be wary of a draw which will make it even more difficult for them to remain competitors for champion title.

But I expect Atletico Madrid to start the poker game now and to get him for a rather cheap price. Why should they commit to a long term contract with a player that ones wanted to leave them and now asks for a long term contract with a high salary? His age isn't the best anymore to ask for royal contracts. I believe that this will backfire during the next negotiations for him.

Former Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski draws the ire of Xavi, FC Barcelona consider forcing a pay cut if the striker refuses to leave

https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/12/26/24015577/bayern-munich-former-striker-robert-lewandowski-xavi-anger-fc-barcelona-pay-cut-salary-transfer

It is truly astonishing to observe Barcelona adopting the identical approach they used to force Aubameyang out of the club. Barcelona has been threatening to cut his salary if lewandowski is not willing to reduce his salary. This is another shady trick owned by barcelona.
I hope that there will be no more good players to be tricked by barcelona. Barcelona's repeated attempts to remove him from the club, just like they did with Aubameyang, is nothing short of pathetic and disheartening to witness. This is why i don't like how barcelona wastrying to drive him out.

Barcelona was also very often in expelling its players to leave from the club. Im losing respect to the barcelona if the club will be really doing it soon. I knew that lewandowski has said no for saudi pro league.
Will he change his mind regarding SPL? it will be so pathetic if he will be trying to stop his career in the football caused by he was hating saudi pro league club. Barcelona is willing to kick him out and get some money.

Barcelona have lost so many points recently. Their form in their last 5 league games is really poor which caused them to be left behind by Girona and Real Madrid more in points. In addition to that Atletico Madrid also have  got ahead of them. Barcelona really need to make a big improvement in this form if they want to be a part of the title competition.

They can start by beating Las Palmas away next week. But I must admit that this isn't an easy task for them. Because if you remember Las Palmas beat Atletico Madrid home before. They have a potential to surprise Barcelona as well.

Xavi Hernandez will try to make things right when the second half of the season begins. Barcelona are good at giving time to their legends. A good example is Koeman who was worst than Xavi Hernandez, regardless of the poor performance and results he was still backed up by the management and given time to fix the club. It was obvious he wasn't the man for the club.

Finishing on top of the league getting doubtful, but finishing top four would be possible to achieve. They're not same club, Barcelona regardless of all these things remains a big club. Real Madrid would win the league or Girona in my opinion.

Koeman was given some more time indeed. However I remember the chairman Laporta said once that they were believing in him but sacked him a really short time after that.    However Xavi's situation is not the same with Koeman of course. At least he made Barcelona win the La Liga title in the previous season.

I don't feel like Xavi will get sacked if they can't win the title again by the end of this season. But they should be able to finish at the second position at worst. As Girona and Atletico Madrid are also creating a big competition I'm curious about how this season will end.

There he can also play more comfortably because he often has the trust of the coach, this may not be possible at other clubs, especially since he will soon be 33 years old.

However, the problem is whether Atletico wants to offer him a contract extension or not and if that doesn't happen then Griezzman will have to leave Atletico when his contract ends. Currently his contract is still valid until 2026 and that is about 2 more seasons before his contract ends and if there is an offer from another club with a larger nominal value, it is likely that Atletico will also definitely open the door to his departure. We previously knew that Yannick Carassco had left Atletico at a fairly old age and it is possible that Griezzman will be the next player to leave Atletico.

The offer from the Saudi league is very tempting and it could make Atletico's finances more stable. I'm curious about Griezzman's next journey and if he ends up in the Saudi league, maybe that can at least make him happy by making a lot of money and having to forget about his dream of playing in Europe's highest competition.

I know he was responsible for one of the Champions League finals won by Barcelona ( can't recall the year ) he's indeed a great legend from the past but it was the right thing at the right time to let him go. He lead the club wrongly.
He won the La Liga and also Humiliated Real Madrid last season in the games they played. He could still win them the La Liga if he pays attention. The defenders needs some repairs and good to see a new striker ( Brazilian ) joining Barcelona and his new teammates to train.

Not this season even they'll get him sacked.  He won the tittle last season and that's enough backing, they're still not in a bad position on the league standing, just little focus and they'll bounce up.

Good choose for Antoine Griezmann agree extend his contract with Atletico Madrid for longer time and Atletico keep give him regular position after dropping performance with Barcelona. In this season, Antoine Griezmann scored 11 goals of 18 appearance in La Liga and he was make 5 goals of 6 matches in Champion League. I don't think Antoine Griezmann want leaves Atletico Madrid in short time because he get regular position and secure his position with France national team will play on Euro 2024 in Germany. I want to see how many goals scoring by Antoine Griezmann in this season with Atletico Madrid and how possibility make his team for fighting in La Liga tittle race or Champion League this season?

Actually Antoine Griezmann still have long contract duration with Atletico Madrid, after returning from Barcelona he received offer get contract until 2026 with Atletico and get another extend contract make him more comfortable help Atletico get trophy in this season.

Soon Barcelona should play in the Spanish Super Cup tournament and that is a piece of bad news for this team before the game they are going to have against. Perdtri is injured in Barcelona and he can't play for his team against Osasuna in this tournament. He will probably get back in the good form and the end of January to at start of April and this can put Xavi and Barcelona under more pressure.

Not the best season for Barcelona, but Xavi will try to win the Super Cup match, there are still two weeks for this match, so there is still enough time. In the new year, Barcelona will devote all its efforts to the Champions League, this is the only chance for Xavi to improve his position in the team, since in La Liga they have very bad chances to try to join the fight with Real Madrid. To be honest, I don’t know what Barca’s problem is, they have a fairly strong team and good bench depth, and not many injured players.

Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title this season are very low. Barcelona is now 7 points behind Real Madrid. Closing the gap will be much more difficult as Real Madrid's performances are more consistent than Barcelona's.

Xavi is probably not targeting the La Liga title this season. He is eager to win the Super Cup title. He also wants to do well in the Champions League. Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is not bad. I guess we will see the Barcelona team in the semi-final or final of the Champions League this season.
