La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Despairo]

The performance of Girona players was not good from the start of this match. Everyone expected Girona to win. Because Almeria is the last team in the points table. And Girona is very strong this season. I wouldn't say Girona lost because of Aleix Garcia's red card. Girona's performance was poor from the start of the match. Garcia received a red card in the 80th minute. Even before 80 minutes we did not see a good performance from Girona players. Girona's performance in this match was very slow. We don't know why there is such a sudden decline in their performance. Have Girona's players lost confidence? That's what I think. Because this team performed well against Elche and Atletico Madrid. Suddenly their performance dropped against a weak team like Almeria.

It's crazy to see Girona humiliated by Almeria which currently at the bottom position in La Liga, but in terms head to head, Almeria is better than Girona. At least Girona didn't lose in this match, if they lose this match, it could be one of biggest upset in this year.

I hope Girona can comeback in their good perform, I want to see a new champion in La Liga lol.

They blamed Xavi for his formation in their previous Super Cup match against Real Madrid. They should be patient with him, he is a good coach and has won many titles for the team, they can't just decide to sack him, because i see the fault from the club, which is having financial problem. Barcelona's current player are not strong enough to win any trophy this season, they will need to wait until the end of the season to sign more players. For now, all they have to worry about is to qualifying for the next Champions League, as their chances of winning La Liga is not going to be possible.

There are many problems currently facing Barcelona, ranging from finance, technical management or quality issues. An evaluation must of course be carried out, there is still time for Xavi until the end of this season to improve Barcelona's performance which is currently in disarray. Regarding Xavi position after being defeated by Real Madrid in the Super Cup is still a mystery because his contract has been extended until 2025. Firing him requires large compensation, Barcelona, which is experiencing a financial crisis, will certainly not take careless action, especially as finding a suitable replacement to handle Barcelona is not an easy job.

Barcelona is completely helpless when facing Real Madrid, they look like a mediocre team that cannot develop their game. They still have difficulty scoring goals, their defense is also very fragile, even though the back line is still filled with players who were able to make Barcelona appear as the team with the lowest conceding ratio last season. One of the 4 trophies that Barcelona is aiming for has been lost, I am also pessimistic that Barcelona will be able to win one of the remaining trophies. In the Champions League, Barcelona chances are very small, the maximum they can only reach the quarter-finals, the La Liga trophy is increasingly difficult to achieve because the point difference with Real Madrid is very large, while in the CDR it is still gray.

Barcelona poor performance this season is Xavi responsibility, he often tampers with players by playing them in different positions which makes it difficult for them to find their best performance. Maybe the patience of Barcelona officials will only last until the end of the season depending on what Xavi can bring to the team.

[Mame89]

With the financial crisis facing Barcelona, it is very difficult to bring in quality players next season. I think Xavi performance should be appreciated because, in Barcelona's financial crisis, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to the La Liga title and the Spanish Super Cup. Therefore, Xavi should not be blamed, especially if someone wants to fire Xavi. In the situation currently faced by Barcelona, firing Xavi this season is not a good solution for Barcelona because even if Barcelona brings in a good coach and Barcelona cannot buy quality players, the new coach will find it difficult to improve Barcelona's performance.

Barcelona, whether in its glory days or in times of crisis like now, financial conditions will more or less influence the quality of its play, every coach and player definitely wants their club to always win. However, looking at the quality of Barcelona's current game, it is very difficult for them to advance further in the UCL league tournament, but they still have the opportunity to win domestic trophies such as the Copa Del Rey. I am also sure that Xavi will not be fired from Barcelona with a team like this, unless Barcelona brings in new players and a good team squad but Barcelona's performance does not improve then they will have to fire Xavi. So I agree with what you said, firing Xavi at this time is not a solution for Barcelona. Currently, Xavi needs to rethink his tactical and formation choices in order to recover after the defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Cup final.

[rendravolt]

First trophy for Madrid, congratulations and I'm happy. It seems that Barcelona are not a strong enough team to compete this season. Beligham's arrival seems to be the key to Real Madrid's success. Guler's recovery is also a new hope to add new strength to Madrid.  At the moment they are still quite successful and strong, but I don't know if they will be able to last until the end of the season. If the conditions are like this, does Madrid still need Mbaape? With a crazy transfer request from Mbaape's manager, it is certainly a heavy burden and a big gamble. At PSG, Mbaape may be good but it seems that Madrid must prioritize the needs of the team.

First, apart from winning the first title this season, Real Madrid also succeeded in beating Barcelona in the last 3 meetings in 3 different competitions starting from the Copa Del Rey, La Liga, until recently in the Supercopa final and this clearly proves that Real Madrid's game is very far above Barcelona. Another fact is that yesterday's Supercopa title was the first trophy for Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Fran Garcia and Joselu.

We cannot deny that only with the current squad Real Madrid is so strong and coupled with Ancelotti's strategy, everything is still going well. Although there are still doubts because Real Madrid doesn't have a pure striker other than Joselu and only relies on the duo of Vini and Rodrygo for the attack line, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Real Madrid can still get maximum results and it seems that for Mbappe, Real Madrid will still think about this in the future but that also depends on the player's decision, if Mbappe is still reluctant to leave PSG, maybe Real Madrid will continue to focus on the current squad.

[shinratensei_]

It was not entirely Robert Lewandowski's fault because Barcelona players were experiencing a crisis of trust in playing and even though it was not a more precise reason. The presence of Robert Lewandowski has a good impact on Barcelona but the difficulties faced by them are now increasingly complex where there are a number of injured players and financial problems that cannot make Barcelona recruit the players needed.

Yesterday's match looked so easy for Real Madrid to break into the pen goal and I think their defense line was quite problematic. Xavi Hernandez will experience a critical condition of several conditions that occur and maybe the effect of the injury of some players will further worsen the situation, so it will be quite difficult for him to rotate the player to the future.

In fact, Barcelona managed to assemble a very good team, or rather Xavi succeeded, he was able to convince the players that everything would soon change for the better, but apparently this is not the case and this affects the team’s results, and it became obvious that Barcelona has a defense I began to play much worse.

A very good team? I can't even agree with it. Barcelona was always conceding so many goals and it was showing if the quality of club was not good. You can argue that if barcelona was strong on its attacking line but i can't even agree with it.
In fact, barcelona is still performing so poorly on its defensive line. Im not giving a high rating for the current squad of barcelona. A very good club will always be scoring a lot of goals in any matches and conceded less goals compared to the other club.
I can define that barcelona as an average club right now. I think that we shall redefine how strong barcelona is right now. if it was real madrid and that's true but barcelona is far from real madrid right now. The club has so many weakness.

And financial problems will not allow buying new players, moreover this may prevent them from retaining those who are currently on the team. I see that there are complaints about Xavi, but in fact he is an excellent coach and with proper funding he could achieve better results. If Barcelona will looking for a new coach, then I think it will be a mistake.

True but buying the new player can also become an alternative solution but barcleona running out of money for that. Im thinking that if barcelona is putting, all of its focus on to how to sell the players to raise some money.
I have been hearing this since last months if barcelona is trying to sell players for money. The club is also having unpaid debt too which is making the situation even worst.

At PSG, Mbaape may be good but it seems that Madrid must prioritize the needs of the team.

There is no need to doubt about the quality that Real Madrid has this season and of course, quality like that also guarantees that Real Madrid will get another trophy this season, of course for the La Liga trophy too . Also related about, whether Real Madrid still needs Mbappe or not, the answer is yes, Real Madrid still needs Mbappe. Because of course, if Real Madrid succeeds in bringing in Mbappe then the guarantee for Real Madrid's long-term squad will be even better. At least, if Mbappe is in the Real Madrid squad then Real Madrid will have an easier time rotating and of course, this factor will guarantee a more stable and consistent performance for Real Madrid throughout the season.

And Girona is very strong this season. I wouldn't say Girona lost because of Aleix Garcia's red card. Girona's performance was poor from the start of the match.

Suddenly their performance dropped against a weak team like Almeria.

It's crazy to see Girona humiliated by Almeria which currently at the bottom position in La Liga, but in terms head to head, Almeria is better than Girona. At least Girona didn't lose in this match, if they lose this match, it could be one of biggest upset in this year.

I hope Girona can comeback in their good perform, I want to see a new champion in La Liga lol.

The draw that Girona got against Almeria is of course quite painful for those of us who really want to see Girona make new history by winning the La Liga trophy this season,the draw result actually makes them closer to Madrid, who still have 1 match postponed. , although it doesn't affect Girona's position at the top of the standings, I think currently their position is very vulnerable to being sabotaged by Madrid who are below them, Girona has 49 points while Madrid now has 48 points and for Girona right now cannot to lose any more points in the next match because if If not, then their hopes of to be champions will of course be lost.

Well it was very good where the goal scored in the 7th minute by Vini who is number 7 with the iconic celebration of cr7 really gave a deep impression in this match but on the other hand in this case also indirectly Vini made a new history where he was the first Brazilian player to score a hatrick in the El Clasico final throughout the journey that happened in Madrid and Barcelona and in my opinion it is something very good for a young player who has great potential in Madrid.
2 Brazilians in Madrid's attack line really messed up Barcelona's defense in this match because indeed with the speed possessed as well as from the midfielders and defenders who were quite supportive in helping it really made Barcelona confused. Offside traps made by Barcelona did not go well and it was easily exploited by Madrid in this match because we know that for the first and second goals it happened because of the failed offside trap.

What a wonderful moment! Vini Jr. who wears the number 7 jersey, scores in the 7th minute, celebrating his goal just like his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Vini's goal, celebration, and the way he silences the crowd are reminiscent of his idol. It looks like he's destined for greatness. As of now, Brazilian players are performing exceptionally well in club football, even though their national team struggles. Real Madrid's young blood is becoming a formidable force for the future. So, playing against Real Madrid is tough; Barca gave their best, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough. Let's be honest, Barcelona is no longer a match for Real Madrid. Barcelona should acknowledge their weaknesses, work on them, and not pretend until it's too late.

Because it has also been confirmed that the celebration he did at Cristiano's home now All Nassr was indeed dedicated to him so Vini deliberately did the celebration in this final match especially when the opponent is Barcelona which we know Cristiano has also experienced a big atmosphere with his rival in El Clasico which makes this memorable.
Now the final is over and Madrid must start focusing on La Liga before the Champions League kicks off again.
In a few days' time they'll begin another tough clash with Atletico in the Madrid derby, a replay of the Copa Del Rey supercopa. It will be a revenge mission for Atletico of course as they lost painfully in the semi-finals yesterday but with the confidence now there is no doubt Madrid will be ready and happy to face Atletico's confrontation at the Metropolitano Stadium.

I will be very happy  if Girona can make a comeback. Because if Girona  can't make a comeback, then this season we will only see the  dominance of Real  Madrid. Atletico Madrid and  Barcelona are far behind in the title race. Now if the  Girona team goes down, Real Madrid will easily  win the title and La Liga will become completely one-sided. However,  Girona's attack and defense  are very strong. Let's see if Girona can make a comeback. I would say Girona's players need to work harder now. Then maybe they can play consistently well again. They have shown that Girona have the ability to perform well.

Robert Lewandowski is not problem for Barcelona with inconsistency their performance last several matches, actually Lewandowski scored two goals last two matches in Supercopa but weakness defensive make Barcelona losses opportunity for winning Supercopa last match. I don't Robert Lewandowski have ask apology after his team losses from Real Madrid because he has well contribution with 2 goals of 2 matches but Xavi Hernandez less creativities with holding midfielder and defender players don't make much blunder.
Barcelona have forget with their losses and focus on upcoming match against Unionistas in Copa del Rey match and few days later will face Real Betis in La Liga, left many competition has opportunity for winning by Barcelona from La Liga, Copa del Rey and most important with UEFA Champion League.

All parties at Barcelona should apologize to the supporters, especially since this season they failed to win the Spanish Super Cup. Their performance was good in that match where Barcelona managed to fire 7 shots on goal, and Barcelona also had a high percentage of ball possession compared to Real Madrid. Barcelona only failed to take advantage of their many goal opportunities in that match, they were also disadvantaged because the referee sent off Araujo with a red card.

In general, Barcelona and Real Madrid both played well and created many goal opportunities, but Barcelona's weak defensive system and the strikers' poor finishing meant that Barcelona had to give up with a score of 4-1. Real Madrid deserved the win, but this was no embarrassment for Barcelona. Since then, Barcelona has had to get better focus on La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League. At least Barcelona still has a chance to win the title if they are able to improve their performance and consistency.

[bering]

Real Madrid was successfully to gets their first trophy this season by beating their strong rival Barcelona i think that is good achievement because finally they can gets revenge from Barcelona but after this result i think it's time for them to focus for upcoming matches and in Laliga Real Madrid as a host will playing against weak team Almeria this weekend according to the odds recently the bookmakers only provide low odds @1.16 for Real Madrid and Almeria @16 so this proven Real Madrid is too strong for Almeria and i think it's not required to analysis more because obviously Real Madrid is much better than Almeria although Almeria has just gets draw result by stole 1 point from Girona but i think there is no guarantee they will be able to repeat that result again even more likely Real Madrid will win with 2 goals margin or more

[Ndabagi01]

Everyone thought Girona will won the match, but after the red card i gave up on Girona. The both teams play well, in fact, Almeria played so well against Girona that I can't even recall that they are currently in 20th place in the table. Girona was given a difficult time and failed to score any goals, but Almeria played so well that they had a chance to win the game if they hadn't missed their first half opportunities. I believe Almeria may escape the relegation zone if they play like that in their coming games.

Girona will be disappointed with the outcome of this match, as they were unable to score a single goal despite playing for 90 minutes. The game was not even in their favour because Almeria had more shots on goal than them, but they only had more possession of the ball. They never imagined that a team at the bottom of the table would hold them to a draw when they were all desperate to win the game and maintain their league lead. This will be a setback for them, but it should not undermine them. Real Madrid have yet to play their 20th game of the league matches, which may or may not go in their favour. They should keep fighting for the top spot, and if they don't make it by the end of the season, they should at least qualify for the Champions League next season.

At least Barcelona still has a chance to win the title if they are able to improve their performance and consistency.

Xavi and his team have played their best performance and I see that they have played optimally, especially in the final match, it is impossible for them to play not seriously, it's just that what you say is true, they still have shortcomings in their defense which are easily penetrated by Madrid players so defeat is inevitable, Xavi has also implemented a good strategy, but they still lack players in the front line who rely too much on Lewandowski, who in my opinion looks old enough to be a striker.

But even so, at least this final match will be an evaluation for Barcelona to improve it because there are still many titles they can still chase, Laliga and Copa del Rey because I'm not really sure they will last long in the UCL, so I think they have a chance to win Laliga and Copa Del Rey titles, even though it seems difficult and requires hard work, look at last season where they managed to win the Laliga title. I think Barcelona must remain confident to get the title this season.

Being 8 points adrift of Girona is certainly a tough job in Laliga but Barcelona still has to consistently stay on the winning track until the end of the season if they want to win the Laliga title as well as the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey. At least they can get through to the final and win the title even though Madrid will be competitors. which is hard for them.

We probably watched different games. Real were head and shoulders above Barcelona and surpassed them in everything (however, as you wrote about Barcelona’s weak defense and attack - but this is precisely what makes the gigantic difference between the winner and the loser) and it was obvious that Real was not playing at 100% - all these feints in the center of the field from Bellingham and other tricks that we should not see in a serious game. Arajuo was sent off because he lost to Vinny and not because of the referee.
Vinnie, by the way, again confirmed his status as the player who gets fouled more than any other.
I also really liked that after the first goal, Vinnie made a ceremony in Ronaldo’s name - Siuuuu! At the same time, Ronaldo was present at the game and saw this

Real Madrid are in form and the players are in very good shape right now. The cup they won against Barcelona also boosted their morale. Now one of their goals is La Liga. The other one will be the UCL cup. I think they will easily reach 3 points against weak Almeria in La Liga. Almeria, which played very well against Girona, cannot do the same against Real Madrid. Real is a very good team and their biggest advantage is their stability.

That's right, from here I watched the match until the end and of course I really knew where Barcelona's weak point was in the final match. Xavi doesn't have many options in defense, midfield or striker and that has put Barcelona at a level below Real Madrid this season. Xavi and his team have completed their task even though the final result did not match expectations, but Barcelona have not been favorites since this competition started.

As you said, Barcelona still has opportunities in several other competitions this season. They need to work hard to do everything well, but I wouldn't really be surprised if Barcelona don't win any titles this season considering the condition of the team and other things that mean they have to finish this season with the current squad.

Congratulations on that, KTChampions. This season Real Madrid are ahead of Barcelona in many ways, but it was completely different last season, and you just have to admit it. This season Barcelona was the loser, while last season Real Madrid was the loser for the same title.

I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo remembers the El Classicos he used to play in. I think his past memories came alive when he went to the match. This goal celebration that Vinicus made after the goal, unique to Ronaldo, confirms what an iconic figure Ronaldo is. He's the best of all time. He was also happy that the match was in Saudi Arabia. For Real, in those amazing places.

[Volgastallion]

Man if you lose 4-1 you clearly dont play good, the only way i can buy that shit is if you receive the goals in the last 10 minutes of the game so you can easily say we play 80 minutes like gods and the last 10 we falled apart. But this clearly not the case and the game was endedp in the first half.

[wmaurik]

For Real, in those amazing places.

Apart from that, the victory that brought Real Madrid to win the Super Cup trophy could also indicate that Barcelona this season is not really ready for any competition, be it the La Liga competition or the Champions League. Because it is very clear that Barcelona is no longer strong enough like last season so their opponents can break through their goal more easily as seen in the El Classico match where Vinicius immediately managed to score a goal in the seventh minute of the match.

[temple]

It wasn't entirely Lewandowski's fault, but if you look at the attacking lines of the last 15 years, then they are now not even close in quality to what they were used to at Barcelona. I understand the frustration when they are still longing for two strikers like Suarez and Messi, The attacking line Barcelona now has is much weaker. But it is not only the attacking line, it is the midfield and the defense that are both not as strong anymore.

Real Madrid made a lot of right decisions. Barcelona has some great talents, but they don't have players that are so decisive like Vinicius Junior or Bellingham. I also think that Real Madrid's defensive players are stronger in aggregate than Barcelona's defensive players.

Barcelona's performance against Real Madrid in the final match looked very poor. If we consider the performance of the final match, it is certain that Barcelona to Real Madrid have done well in every position. Barcelona ended the first half with a three-goal lead, but even in the second half, Barcelona could not turn around against Real Madrid. Barcelona looked very frustrated throughout the match and seemed to be giving up helpless against Real Madrid. When Real Madrid confirmed the first final, like everyone, I also expected Real Madrid's opponent to be Barcelona, because the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid means extreme excitement, but Barcelona fulfilled the expectations of going to the final, but could not perform as expected against Real Madrid.

I am confused. What game are you talking about? Barcelona didn't have a three-goal lead in any of the recent matches against Real Madrid. At least I can't recall such a game. Real Madrid didn't have a three-goal lead either as Lewandowski scored a girl during the first half. Are you sure we are talking about the same event here?

Barcelona is still in love with their ball possession game, but since they don't have the same team as they had when the tikitaka was born, the ball possession doesn't result in goals for them. That's what they finally have to realize now and adjust their game accordingly.
