La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[punk.zink]

Real Madrid still occupy the top spot in La Liga and they are 8 points ahead of Barcelona. This season though we think Real Madrid have a good chance of winning the La Liga title. However, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have currently qualified for the Champions League and are focusing heavily on that. In particular, I don't think Barcelona will focus too much on La Liga this season, maybe they will focus more on the Champions League. Since Barcelona is more likely to win the Champions League with PSG, they are more focused on the Champions League right now. But a much more interesting game between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be in the Champions League, that's why Real Madrid is facing a tough time in the Champions League. However, it is very easy for Real Madrid to win La Liga at the moment because Barcelona will focus more on the Champions League at the moment. And if Barcelona don't compete with Real Madrid in La Liga then they are definitely leaning more towards Champions League and they will perform well in Champions League to win the title.

Seeing that Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title this season are very small because they are already far behind Real Madrid, it is appropriate for them to shift their focus to the Champions League stage.
Barceona in La Liga now only needs to maintain a little consistency to be able to finish in the top 4, and I think with the remaining games remaining this season they are quite safe.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is also the same, they will be quite comfortable at the top of the standings so they can also focus on the Champions League.

This season the competition in the race for the La Liga title is very unattractive because Real Madrid doesn't seem to have any pressure from any team in the race for the title because their rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have been very down this season.

A difference of 8 points is quite a wide gap and it will be quite a difficult mission for Barcelona to accomplish because La Liga only has 9 matches remaining. Even if Real Madrid slipped in some of their matches, there is still no certainty that Barcelona will not face the same obstacles because in terms of performance Barcelona is no better than Real Madrid. I think what is more possible for Barcelona is to let go of La Liga and completely focus on the Champions League.

I think Xavi still wants to be at Barcelona and the players also still want Xavi to remain their coach, but there is another thing that made in this team. Not because he doesn't like it, but he has the best way to get something more appropriate. Actually, Barcelona's performance is not bad, but management always demands the best that they want to receive. Indeed, that is a normal thing, but they also have to be able to see and adapt to their current conditions.

I heard that Barcelona also seems to have the opportunity to keep Xavi for next season, but that is a rumor that I heard and the truth has not yet been confirmed. However, if that really happens, then Xavi must ask for something that can be included in the contract, so that he does not receive something that he experienced this season. I really understand if management puts pressure when Barcelona's performance is very bad, but that's not what happens, they always force what they want, even though logically it is difficult.

Xavi says that he is not appreciated, maybe he would like to stay with the players, but it is difficult to work in such an environment. I very much doubt that Xavi will remain in the team, if he announced it officially, he will do it. But I am also confident that he will not remain without a team for long, he showed himself very well in Barcelona, and if he gets into a team with good financial opportunities, he can achieve excellent results in any other team. He did a great job at Barcelona, considering the time he joined the team.

I think, Real Madrid will soon announce it in the public, for other teams to know that Mbappe will be signing into Real Madrid during the summer and Mbappe is very happy to join the team that will continue increasing his performance. I know that PSG will definitely win their next match to move to the next stage through the help of Mbappe for people to begin to see them among the teams that will meet up to final battle in the champion league competition, because Manchester city will defeat Real Madrid to lock them out from the competition. I don't think, Real Madrid win or loss can change the mind of Mbappe not to join Real Madrid because you can see that he like to play for Real Madrid next season than any other teams.

Are you hinting that Real Madrid could be out at the quarter-final stage, and PSG could reach the final? Well, this is a completely possible scenario, and it seems to me that it was discussed somewhere whether Mbappe will remain at PSG if Enrique suddenly manages to win the Champions League. But I agree that Mbappe will most likely want to leave for Real even in this case, because this is a long-standing desire, a point that needs to be fulfilled.

It's clear that Mbappe isn't just interested in winning prizes. This guy has already done great things with PSG, winning titles and awards. It would be great to play in the Champions League, but would that really make a difference in the long run? Moving to Madrid is about leaving a mark. Real Madrid is THE club, the most famous team in the world

I bet Mbappe still has that "itch" even if PSG wins everything this year. People have quit winning teams before for that kind of pull. It's not so much about what Madrid is like now as it is about its past. People will talk about you for years after that. I think Mbappe wants that, and it will be very hard for him to say no to Madrid if they come back. He wants to be in Madrid because that's where he sees himself in the big picture. A lot of players would kill to be there

Of course, that is quite a big difference in points because 8 winning points can only be achieved by winning 3 times and being superior, but Real Madrid must also not win in the existing match because if Real Madrid still easily wins then Barcelona will have difficulty catching up. , The La Liga competition also seems to be ending soon and I am not sure that Barcelona will take Real Madrid's position, Barcelona must accept its position in second place and must maintain it until it is finished and maybe it will be more active next season.

Xavi is a good coach, but just some periods that he was faced with challenges on inconsistency, and decline in his team performance, he was criticize as an unexperienced coch and not competent enough to coach Barcelona. This made him feel bad and decided to leave the club which he made the announcement officially.

If Barcelona wants him to stay, then they need to make him happy and feel at home at all time, not only when he is victorious, and they say a lot of crap when he is facing hard time with his team. Now that he has put Barcelona back to a good form, and they have being consistent with their matches, they want him to stay. Forgetting all those crap that they said. If I was to be in Xavi shoes, I would leave the club.

Real Madrid's mentality will not be so weak as to make concessions to other clubs and here Barcelona will definitely not be able to catch up with the existing points difference. Real Madrid will fight hard without suffering serious defeats and even if they do lose, it won't be often. They must maintain a point difference from the teams below them and even though they are quite comfortable with freedom, remaining alert is an important part.

I think Barcelona will also not think about chasing Real Madrid and they know it will be very difficult this season so they just need to maintain their existing dominance to be able to finish in 2nd place. The reason is that it is not easy considering that Girona can also shift them back and one mistake from Barcelona could have fatal results and be an advantage for Girona. I agree that Barcelona will finish it next season and this season they must realize that it is too late.

Xavi had a very clear reason when he said he wanted to leave Barcelona, because he felt unappreciated when he was in this team. What he has done so far seems to be a mistake in Barcelona's eyes, because they want more than that. In fact, if we draw out the common thread, everything that Barcelona is currently experiencing is due to management errors in managing the club which resulted in them ending up in a very difficult situation because they had to experience financial problems which have not yet been resolved. I see Xavi is disappointed with this team.

If Barcelona wants to take over Real Madrid's position then they have to wipe out the remaining matches they have with a win and Real Madrid have to lose at least 3 matches, then Barcelona will be at the top of the standings. However, the problem is that REal Madrid will not just let their position be taken away, especially since they will still meet in the El Clasico match. If Real Madrid wins that match then Barcelona will be further away from Real Madrid, but if Barcelona wins then it will slightly open up their chances of catching Real Madrid.

[wakier]

Xavi insists he won't change his mind and will leave in June, but we'll see. I still hope to keep Xavi for next season, but everything still depends on him. Barca's performance this season is still generally good, even though the team did not invest much. Therefore, Xavi's coaching ability cannot be underestimated. I It feels like the players are fighting hard for Xavi, and if this continues, Catalan club president Laporta can completely convince him to stay. President Laporta needs clarity and assurance in transfer activities this summer.

The end of the season is still long, anyone can still change their mind and many people are hoping that Cavi will still train Barcelona for next season. I know it's quite difficult for Cavi because he can't buy the players he needs and also has to face his team experiencing bad financial problems which makes him thinking hard so that Barcelona can continue to perform well under his tutelage amidst its current conditions. The new coach may not necessarily be able to work like Cavi. In fact, it is feared that Barcelona will experience decline because they have to adapt to the new coach. I hope Cavi changes his decision to continue to save Barcelona, which is currently in a state of decline, however he was once part of Barcelona when he was still a successful Barcelona player.

[KTChampions]

Atletico, even despite the decline, remains the favorite in the fight for the top 4, but this is not the level of advantage where we can be at least 60% confident in the outcome. 55% to 45% seems to me a more realistic balance of power.
As for Girona, judging by its recent games, it is now definitely no better than Atlético, Athletic, Barcelona. Girona feels confident only due to the reserve of points they created for themselves earlier. As for their prospects in the Champions League, I would not count on it since it is unknown what will happen in the summer and how many players from this squad will remain in Girona (and whether there will be serious acquisitions to replace the departed players + reinforcements).

It canno't be denied that for 3 clubs that have become subscriptions to the potential to remain in the Champions League zone it is indeed very open no matter how bad the performance is at the beginning of the season or mid-season but when it comes to the end of the season everything is always in a good situation and they can always secure the top 4 at the end of the season.
As for Girona now they are starting to experience problems after a very impressive start to the season when Girona is slowly returning to the initial performance where they are like an ordinary club even though in matches they can alwa ys play well in terms of attack but currently their defense is quite vulnerable because of the lack of good coordination especially when anticipating counterattacks.
Now it all comes down to performance because for Madrid Barcelona and Atletico I'm still pretty sure they are in the top 4 but for Girona if they really want to make this season a good one and be in the Champions League zone for the first time then they have to make a difference in performance because in the last few games they have been quite poor.

Bookmakers do not agree with you, see how clubs are ranked to get into the top 4:

Real and Barcelona - 1.01
Girona - 1.06
Atlético - 1.44
Athletic - 2.00

As you can see, only Atletico are in question, and Girona, despite their poor results, is rated well because they have more points.
As I already wrote, Atlético has a difficult situation because they need maximum results both in La Liga and in the Champions League. It is likely that they will fail somewhere (I’m not saying that they are favorites in the Champions League, but beating Dortmund and then PSG/Barcelona is quite possible).

What is clear is that Xavi is at Barcelona in the wrong conditions. When Barcelona's financial situation was in ruins, Xavi came in and tried to improve it little by little. In my opinion, Barcelona should be grateful because in his first season Xavi presented the La Liga trophy in the midst of a bad financial situation. But this time Xavi couldn't hold back anymore when he didn't get full support. I also can't blame Barcelona officials because it is difficult for them to take other options when there is no adequate financial support. However, if you look at Barcelona's performance after Xavi's decision to leave it has improved a little, in terms of play it can still be promising. Moreover, at UCL the potential is quite large if they succeed in conquering PSG.

[Nheer]

and if, for example, Mbappe joins Madrid, I'm sure Laliga will become even more popular. Yes, I also hope that Mbappe joins Laliga and his game is really great. A team will definitely be proud to have a player like Mbappe.

Mbappe is definitely the biggest star around at the moment and when he joins Real Madrid La Liga would know a star has joined but i think La Liga is already popular enough after having the two greatest players play in the league and challenge themselves for many years. Madrid would be stronger than before and would challenge for almost every cup there is if not lift them and their squad would be difficult to face.

If Mbappe arrives in Madrid, of course Madrid will be stronger to be able to fight for many titles next season, their front line will be sharper if Mbappe becomes a striker in Madrid, but I still haven't read the latest news about him, is this still just a rumor or has it been confirmed? will move to Madrid next season, but if it is confirmed that he will move, it is certain that next season Madrid will be the strongest club, whether in the domestic league or in the UCL, which of course will be able to compete with the other strongest clubs.

This rumor is very like to happen and it’s almost as if it has happened already because both teams are not denying it and from what is going on in both clubs it is obvious that Mbappe will definitely join Real Madrid this summer. This deal will not happen until the transfer market opens so until then rumors is all we will hear.

This move to Real Madrid is the best move for him if you would ask me but i think about his position when he gets to Madrid because he obviously enjoys playing as a left winger just as he does in PSG and France even though he sometimes play as a striker. Would he gets his favorite position as a left winger ahead of Vinicius or would he be used as a striker? I am still confused about that.

[Warkop]

Barcelona's form has been surprising, considering the number of injured players, I'm not sure how they will play at this level. They have played better recently, they want to maintain their second place after Girona was unable to hold it. Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 0:3 in their last game, I wasn't sure I could trust them because they can win or lose at any time, but they pulled off an unexpected to won their last game without conceding any goal.

Real Madrid is currently eight points ahead of Barcelona, who is playing harder. If Real Madrid lose any of their remaining games, Barcelona would still have a chance to overtake them at the top of the league because they are already behind. Barcelona need concentrates on the two competitions instead of just their Champions League matches. These two are crucial because, if they defeat PSG in their next Champions League match, they will advance to the next round, while they keep winning La Liga matches, they will have another opportunity to close the gap with Real Madrid. I'm hoping Barcelona plays better in their upcoming match.

I also didn't expect Barcelona's performance to improve again and surprise everyone. The reason is, when La Liga first started, everyone knew that Barcelona was experiencing a financial crisis which had a negative impact on its performance and was also inconsistent in matches and always lost matches at that time. However, Barcelona was slowly able to recover from its downturn to improve its performance, so that in its last 5 matches it was able to produce 4 wins and 1 draw. In the last match against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona played very well and were able to take advantage of the opportunities that occurred in Atletico Madrid's goal so that Barcelona very easily scored 3 goals without replying until the match was over. With this victory, Barcelona can overtake Girona to occupy 2nd place in the standings, because Girona has suffered many defeats in several matches and Girona's performance seems to have decreased quite significantly compared to before.

In my opinion, Real Madrid will not be able to give their opponents a chance to win in the remaining matches. The reason is that they will definitely continue to maintain their victory so that they remain at the top of the standings so they can become La Liga champions this season. I don't think Barcelona will be able to focus on these two competitions, because the players they have are very limited to really be able to compete in these two competitions. This may just be my perception, because in an emergency situation like this it is very difficult for Barcelona to really focus on these two competitions. Hopefully Barcelona will continue to play consistently in these two competitions, even though they are in a rather difficult situation competing with their rivals.

Hmm, Athletic Bilbao's odds to finish in top four seem really tempting. Thank you for sharing it maybe I would give it a try. 

Yeah Atletico Madrid are very unbalanced in the La Liga recently while trying to play really big in the Champions League. I think the same about their chances there as well. This would really wear out the players in a quite tight schedule of course. There is even a game in which they will host Girona between the first and second legs of the Dortmund matchup. I really have serious doubts about their dealing with this kind of a fixture in a solid way.

That might be a decision that makes Xavi have to face a dilemma. It cannot be denied that Xavi grew up with Barcelona, so it is not surprising that Xavi feels he has a debt of gratitude to Barcelona, and coaching Barcelona may be a form of contribution and return of his gratitude to Barcelona.

I think Xavi knows very well, that he will only be able to make Barcelona even better if he gets full support (including financial support). So with Barcelona's current condition, Xavi is aware that the mission he is carrying out will be quite difficult to come true. If he insists on remaining coaching Barcelona, then it could be an obstacle to his coaching career. Although painful, decisions must still be made and in this case, Xavi decided to move forward.

It is fitting for Barcelona management to thank Xavi for all the achievements he has achieved at this time with Barcelona, losing the opportunity to win trophies is certainly a painful thing for a team like Barcelona but of course their current condition has been much different compared to their previous heyday, ending the season in the top 4 is actually an extraordinary achievement for Barcelona who are currently in trouble finance.

In recent weeks, Barcelona's performance has indeed improved drastically, but even so Barcelona's chances of being able to catch Madrid and win La Liga are of course impossible for them, but at this time Barcelona's chances of winning the Champions League are of course wide open because they still continue to compete in the quarterfinals, facing PSG is of course a difficult job for Barcelona but with the mentality that Barcelona have, of course, is not impossible they can stop PSG's journey this season in the Champions League,, of course it is not impossible for them I think the Champions League trophy will be a sweet gift For Xavi and Barcelona farewel at the end of the season later.

After Xavi announced his resignation, Barcelona appeared more relaxed without the excessive pressure they were under. It seems that this is a matter of the demands of the situation which forces Xavi to squeeze his mind in every match in order to achieve victory. When Xavi decides to resign as head coach next season, Xavi will have more freedom to take any risks. I see that his decision was very correct, and it has been proven that Barcelona has appeared more consistent so far. However, Xavi decision to leave is still a shame, because Barcelona management must look for a new successor as his replacement.

Barcelona club officials will certainly have difficulty finding a new coach in the future, especially if they target big names as new managers. Every new coach definitely demands changes to the depth of the squad, they have the desire to reshuffle the squad according to their wishes. This is of course very contradictory to the condition of Barcelona which is currently experiencing a financial crisis, in which I think Barcelona will have difficulty fulfilling the wishes of the new coach in the future. That's right, Barcelona should be grateful to have Xavi who is willing to manage a club that is in debt, willing to survive a crisis situation that is limiting its space to build a dream squad.

I agree with you that Xavi was in Barcelona at the wrong time, which in the end made him burdened by circumstances that were not friendly to him. I really appreciate what Xavi has shown with Barcelona since his arrival, he was even able to win the LA Liga title last season in a difficult situation for Barcelona. Finance is one of the supporting factors for a club, where if their financial condition is not good, it will affect the team's overall performance, but Xavi can cover this even though it is not that perfect.

You are also right that management is also in a difficult situation, but I prefer to blame them for what they are experiencing now. Regarding the demands and pressure they put on Xavi, it should not have happened so that Xavi felt disrespected. Because they also have to realize that they cannot provide everything that Xavi needs so far, even to bring in new players they have to consider it carefully and they are also looking for options where they only recruit players for free.

[TelolettOm]

Xavi had a very clear reason when he said he wanted to leave Barcelona, because he felt unappreciated when he was in this team. What he has done so far seems to be a mistake in Barcelona's eyes, because they want more than that.

The latest news is that Joan Laporta is reportedly urging Xavi to reconsider his plans to leave Barcelona. It seems that conditions have changed enough to make Laporta and the club management realize the importance and how significant Xavi's influence is at Barcelona.

Even now, Laporta is actually still convincing Xavi to stay, but the pressure that Xavi is facing may be so great so far.

This is part of the explanation that Laporta said during the interview:

I asked him if there was any way he could change his mind, but I saw him dealing with an insurmountable pressure that could be seen on his face, so I told him to relax if he saw it that way.

Source: Laporta about Xavi

It seems that Xavi prefers to focus on the match that Barcelona will face. Because of that, not only in La Liga but also their struggle is still in the Champions League, which in fact is very prestigious.

[Adams0001]

A difference of 8 points is quite a wide gap and it will be quite a difficult mission for Barcelona to accomplish because La Liga only has 9 matches remaining. Even if Real Madrid slipped in some of their matches, there is still no certainty that Barcelona will not face the same obstacles because in terms of performance Barcelona is no better than Real Madrid. I think what is more possible for Barcelona is to let go of La Liga and completely focus on the Champions League.

Of course, that is quite a big difference in points because 8 winning points can only be achieved by winning 3 times and being superior, but Real Madrid must also not win in the existing match because if Real Madrid still easily wins then Barcelona will have difficulty catching up. , The La Liga competition also seems to be ending soon and I am not sure that Barcelona will take Real Madrid's position, Barcelona must accept its position in second place and must maintain it until it is finished and maybe it will be more active next season.

If Barcelona wants to take over Real Madrid's position then they have to wipe out the remaining matches they have with a win and Real Madrid have to lose at least 3 matches, then Barcelona will be at the top of the standings. However, the problem is that REal Madrid will not just let their position be taken away, especially since they will still meet in the El Clasico match. If Real Madrid wins that match then Barcelona will be further away from Real Madrid, but if Barcelona wins then it will slightly open up their chances of catching Real Madrid.

I don't think Barcelona can take over real madrid positions anymore, because real madrid can't lose three matches straight to make Barcelona top them in the league table, if Real Madrid loses match now he will be against el clasico madrid will win or lose the match, because it's been a long time when Barcelona and Real Madrid meet and draw definitely one person most win the game, and I give Barcelona hope because last season madrid defeated barca in the camp no Since Xavi is regaining form, I believe he will not give Ancelotti much chance against him this time around. And Madrid will not too put effort on the match because they have serious match in the UCL against Manchester City, they won't try to risk there key players in the league anymore.

Xavi had a very clear reason when he said he wanted to leave Barcelona, because he felt unappreciated when he was in this team. What he has done so far seems to be a mistake in Barcelona's eyes, because they want more than that. In fact, if we draw out the common thread, everything that Barcelona is currently experiencing is due to management errors in managing the club which resulted in them ending up in a very difficult situation because they had to experience financial problems which have not yet been resolved. I see Xavi is disappointed with this team.

What is clear is that Xavi is at Barcelona in the wrong conditions. When Barcelona's financial situation was in ruins, Xavi came in and tried to improve it little by little. In my opinion, Barcelona should be grateful because in his first season Xavi presented the La Liga trophy in the midst of a bad financial situation. But this time Xavi couldn't hold back anymore when he didn't get full support. I also can't blame Barcelona officials because it is difficult for them to take other options when there is no adequate financial support. However, if you look at Barcelona's performance after Xavi's decision to leave it has improved a little, in terms of play it can still be promising. Moreover, at UCL the potential is quite large if they succeed in conquering PSG.

After Xavi announced his resignation, Barcelona appeared more relaxed without the excessive pressure they were under. It seems that this is a matter of the demands of the situation which forces Xavi to squeeze his mind in every match in order to achieve victory. When Xavi decides to resign as head coach next season, Xavi will have more freedom to take any risks. I see that his decision was very correct, and it has been proven that Barcelona has appeared more consistent so far. However, Xavi decision to leave is still a shame, because Barcelona management must look for a new successor as his replacement.

Barcelona club officials will certainly have difficulty finding a new coach in the future, especially if they target big names as new managers. Every new coach definitely demands changes to the depth of the squad, they have the desire to reshuffle the squad according to their wishes. This is of course very contradictory to the condition of Barcelona which is currently experiencing a financial crisis, in which I think Barcelona will have difficulty fulfilling the wishes of the new coach in the future. That's right, Barcelona should be grateful to have Xavi who is willing to manage a club that is in debt, willing to survive a crisis situation that is limiting its space to build a dream squad.

It would be a big mistake for Barcelona management to let Xavi leave Barcelona even though he is a great coach who can overcome every problem that exists in the team even though he only competes with free players from the transfer market, but in fact Barcelona can still be in the runner up position and overtake Girona position.
I'm not sure if Barcelona will get a coach who can manage Barcelona well while financial demands always put pressure on coaches who can't bring in the players they want.
IMO, what happened to Barcelona previously was just a normal decline in performance when several main players were injured and it was not Xavi fault so anyone would say that Barcelona management would be ridiculous if they let Xavi go if they didn't have the right replacement.

It is very rare for an experienced coach or great coach to accept an offer from a team that has financial problems like Barcelona because of course a new coach will think that he will have a big responsibility to overcome a team with players who only have average quality.
even though you can bring in a new coach, it will definitely be very difficult when you have to adapt with the Barcelona players to unite chemistry and develop new strategies to improve performance and if there is no progress for a long time, it will have an impact on Barcelona future.
