La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Hirose UK]

Flick will definitely do his best for his team so they can compete well next season. no one knows what will happen next season, maybe Flick can make Barcelona strong even with the minimum number of players, but to dominate La Liga I'm not sure. but what Flick has to do is he can make Barcelona return to its glory days even though it is difficult.

For now I am sure that will not happen and is very impossible.
Anyone who still believes Barcelona will return to its glory days, I'm sure they are big fans of this team but for me, I really doubt if Flick can make big achievements just with free players or only existing players.

If it is only in the Spanish football competition then there is still possibility that Barcelona will be able to achieve success with its new coach, but who knows when that will happen because for the 2024/25 season, which is Hansi Flick first season, it is impossible for Barcelona to recover.
Actually they have quite good players, but it still not enough and several players also left this summer, like it or not they have to struggle with what they have.
Barcelona will obviously not be able to bring in players with fairly expensive purchase price, but they have the opportunity to borrow or exchange players, this can save more expenses in conditions of financial problems.

Moreover, currently several team have improved their performance by bringing in several great players, this is clearly threat for Hansi Flick to achieve success this season.
But we have to see after the 2024/25 season is finished, if he is still retained there is good chance for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

Yes, as one of the best players in the world, Mbappe will definitely adapt easily to Real Madrid and of course now the Real Madrid squad is complete. Of course Joselu has been great all this time and indeed he cannot be compared to Benzema but of course he has done extraordinary things. Yes, Ancelotti will definitely have the potential to put Mbappe in Joselu's place, but of course we'll see in the coming season, but what is certain is that Ancelotti will make the best syrategy.

Even though many people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics, he seems to know how to rotate his players correctly and Mbappe has enough playing time so he doesn't need to adapt for too long, it seems he will play the game as usual, only he has to follow the strategy and tactics given by Ancelotti, Madrid will not lack good players so they will easily rotate players without having to use second layer players whose performance may be below average but Madrid has many players in the second layer who may also have better abilities than the team other.

Ancelotti will probably put Mbappe on the front line as a striker and Ancelotti also knows how to put Joselu and Mbappe there, the point is to win and collect points to stay at the top of the Laliga standings next season, for them it is important to be able to win Laliga next season after That's a focus on the UCL which is also important for them to compete for, I can't wait to see Mbappe's debut playing in Madrid next season, whether he will adapt quickly and perform better or not. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint all Madrid fans.

[Oluwa-btc]

So do you think Joselu will remain a Real Madrid player next season?
How confident are you about the possibility of Real Madrid making Joselu permanent?

The two questions above are based on Joselu's contract which will end on June 30 2024 as a loan player from Espanyol. Real Madrid is unlikely to extend Joselu's loan period from Espanyol considering they have already found their target player as a center forward. Joselu is more likely to return to play for Espanyol next season and it is a reality that Real Madrid does not want to extend his contract.

In my own opinion, I'd say no, No! I don't see them giving him the contract extension he'll be looking for. He was that man I expected him to be and Jude Bellingham came up to be in his place becoming the false nine for Real Madrid when Joselu should have been doing that.

Also, if he stays, he'll definitely lack game time because, the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Endrick, Àrda Guler and Brahim Diaz are all youngins who want to play as well fight for their place. Same goes with Rodrygo. With all these players, I think they won't be considering extending the contract.

You're correct, you have said it exactly the way I have it upstairs.... Enough youngins developing and hungry for success would make everything difficult and if they happen to retain him, it means these younger lads have to go out on loan.

Even though many people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics,

Whoever says Ancelotti tactics are bad, tell whoever it is about the results Madrid achieved last season and we will see how Ancelotti really understands the right tactics or strategy to continue fighting in the UCL and even in La Liga.
Let's see again how Ancelotti had to rotate players when facing Bayern Munich, Joselu came on in the second half to get 2 winning scores and that was one of the tactics given by Ancelotti.
I just wonder why anyone still doubts Ancelotti.

Madrid will not lack good players so they will easily rotate players without having to use second layer players whose performance may be below average but Madrid has many players in the second layer who may also have better abilities than the team other.

No, Madrid still needs second string players and it is really necessary to rotate players when they have to divide the match schedule in La Liga and in the UCL.
Any strongest team will still need second string players to maintain the physical and fitness of the main players so they don't experience fatigue or get injury problems and you will also remember that as the semi finals approached, Ancelotti often used second string players when competing in La Liga even though he had have Mbappe but second tier players are very important for Ancelotti.

Ancelotti will probably put Mbappe on the front line as a striker and Ancelotti also knows how to put Joselu and Mbappe there

More precisely, Mbappe will be the main player and Joselu will be the reserve player.
So Ancelotti has many options and doesn't need to worry about this because he has many ways to ensure that the quality of Madrid performance remains stable.

[Ahli38]

In a news I read, it was said that the purchase option would be used for Joselu. I don't see any sense in Real Madrid keeping 35-year-old Joselu in the team after acquiring Mbappe. I think Joselu should be sent from the team, he is no longer needed. His one season for Real Madrid will remain a fond memory.

In fact, Joselu's contract as a player on loan from Espanyol to Real Madrid will expire at the end of this month. It's just that I also heard the news that Real Madrid is ready to make this player permanent. but that's just a rumor. Because Joselu himself said in an interview that he still doesn't know his fate at Real Madrid. And he seemed to realize that he probably wouldn't be needed there anymore.

Because actually next season, apart from Mbappe, we will also see one of the talented young players who will start playing for Real Madrid when he turns 18 years old. He is Endrick. And in July, Endrick will be 18 years old. So it can be said that Real Madrid will have 2 new strikers, namely Mbappe and Endrick. So Joselu's position is really uncertain, even as a second tier player. And from the start, Real Madrid brought in Joselu just to fill the void left by Benzema. And now there is a figure who can fill Benzema's position, namely Mbappe. So, even though Joselu is a good player, Real Madrid has no reason to keep Joselu there permanently. Unless Real Madrid are still not sure about Endrick. So Joselu might be considered to be retained for another season.

Glad I am not the only one who noticed that everything have changed for Barcelona and I really cannot figure out what it is. By quality of players, they have a wonderful squad that can match any team but the result is not showing. See the way the performed so bad last season with no major trophy and even fighting Girona to retain the second position. What I find so confusing is the fact that Xavi could not do the magic. He was part of the Barcelona team that did wonderfully well and won good trophies in the past so if there is anyone that is best for the team, it ought to be him. But it seems he has not been able to build a team that is physically and mentally ready to push Barcelona to the strong and feared team they used to be.

I don't think so, the squad in the current Barcelona team is not capable and in fact I think with what they have it is not yet worthy to compete for the La Liga title or Champions League.
And Xavi doesn't deserve to be blamed for Barcelona's decline, in fact Xavi has made a lot of good efforts, but this team doesn't have enough money to bring in lots of quality players, now Barcelona is just trying to build a team with a limited squad, this will be quite difficult.

[Obim34]

I knew it, that Barcelona president will not allow the team to continue remain in a low performance in the la Liga league competition next season, because Barcelona has the opportunity to win la Liga  title in this season but they missed it at the end of the tournament.  I think, Barcelona need more new players if their president can approve the funds for their manager to carry out a good research to sign in squads that will make the team to perform well next season, and it will make their president to be happy with the results they are going to achieve next season. I still have confidence on that Barcelona manager to lead the team to win champion league title, because it will be difficult for Barcelona to win la Liga league title next season because Real Midred will not allow such mistake to happen base on their new squads they added to their team.

Barcelona of old is not this one. Every thing is a complete catastrophe. Xavi appeals to me. Its clear that he is a winner. But with this squad? It needs more than a coach. It has to be totally rebuilt. Money thrown at the issue will not make it better. You must have an idea. Has Hansi Flick? Good coach, sure. He isnt walking on water, though. You cant expect miracles. Im not betting on any trophies until this team improves both in and out of the field. Champions League? Forget about it.

But it seems he has not been able to build a team that is physically and mentally ready to push Barcelona to the strong and feared team they used to be.

It is hard to believe that we can get the kind of Barcelona  team we knew back then, players are no longer up to that standard and I see the team trying to adapt more like the English teams which is not what we are used to. We ought to believe that this period is more of a rejuvenation era, much is expected from them not just by existing on past glory, it's enough time for them to become pros and execute opponents like we saw back then.

Xavi can do the job, he understands the game and a lot about Barcelona pattern, so our hopes are still on him to assure better results coming season.

Hoselu was a reserve player without this, and now it is possible even Rodrigo will be likely to become a player in a bench, or will play in the second half. For many teams, the schedule is very tense, but they cope with the main squard, although the depth of the bench is important for any team.

Each coach always has two problems, it is either the lack of depths of the bench, or many players of the high level in the bench, and it seems to me that every coach dreams that he has a second problem, because his team will always be stronger and have more opportunities . Not a single coach will leave such a player as Mbappe on a bench, the same applies to Vinicius.

Xavi did his best for Barcelona and he managed the players even when they were lacking finance, and they were still able to finish second in the Laliga. They also performed well in UCL, which I think is a good result and Xavi should be given kudos.

A new coach has taken over because of the sentiment between Xavi and Barcelona management exposing the club of facing financial difficulties. That will not change the challenges Barcelona is facing currently, because new players are needed in the club to strengthen the club and improve their performance for next season.

[topbitcoin]

Everything just has to be determined as the season progresses, because after all what we are discussing now is only speculation from what we see from the statistics and seeing the movements that occur from player transfers and club reshuffles that are carried out.

As for the issue of dominance and who will succeed in getting the trophy, of course we have to look at the performance in the current season because that is what ultimately determines who can stand as champion next season.
Indeed, in terms of probability, it is certain that Madrid will be a club that is difficult to stop and make it possible to get back the trophy, but on the other hand, it is still possible for things to be different because after all we cannot rule out other clubs even though their probability is below Madrid for now.
I still hope that Madrid will continue to play well and win trophies, but being too proud from the start also cannot be justified in the end, so we just need to wait for the season to arrive and see Madrid's performance later.

I think that is a bit of a known thing already if you ask me. I mean I am not saying that Real Madrid would possibly never have a chance, sure they may have a chance to not be great, but how slim is that chance? They would need to have all their great stars injured. I think it is quite clear that we are seeing the current situation a bit before the season starts, they are just so dominant that we are going to see them destroy every team they are going to face, and that should not be an issue at all, it would be quite possible to see that.

The best thing to do right now would be just letting it be and not seeing anything shocking about them, it is going to be quite normal and not going to be all that bad for them, they will beat everyone and win the league with a lot of point difference.

It is precisely with the existence of Madrid who like now I hope other clubs can be to find new alternatives in terms of performance so that La Liga surprises always occur.

Seeing from the current situation we can see that Madrdi's plan is the most mature for La Liga because they have a lot of a long time where players, coaches and money are enough so that they will definitely be the only club ready to look next season from the beginning.

This is not accompanied by other clubs where their rivals who still have a lot of internal problems owned or several black horse clubs last season could have not been able to move and perform the same performance because of difficulties in preparation for next season.
Now his hope is clear that with Madrid's strong dominance and probability now, when they are not given pressure from now on, it will be a problem when the season continues because surely Madrid will run alone.

Unless Real Madrid are still not sure about Endrick. So Joselu might be considered to be retained for another season.

Joselu has received several offers from some of big clubs in Europa and one of them is Manchester United but he will give his main priority for Real Madrid which mean if Real Madrid is really want to permanent his status then he would be very glad to accept it but indeed Joselu has realize that his status is only as substutition player for Vinicius or Rodrygo so he will try to thinking more realistic because it's hard to compete with star players in this team especially after the arrival of Mbappe and if Real Madrid don't want to permanent his status then Joselu will accept the offers from other clubs

Indeed Real Madrid has Endrick but i think it is too risky to rely on this player for front lines because he is still lack of experience in Laliga moreover Endrick age is still 17 years old so sometimes the player in this age still hard to managed their consistency so Real Madrid is still required experience player for their front lines and this season Joselu has scores 17 goals in all competitions i think these records is very impressive considering his status as substutition player and in my opinion Real Madrid should be permanent his status because sometimes Joselu can being an supersubs and scores important goals for Real Madrid

Can't believe you Stake posters are still yamming on in this thread lol.

And yet in the last page I don't see many of you if at all joining paid competitions. You guys really following Spanish football or just posting here for the sake of it?

Oh and welcome back Espanyol! Catalunya!!

The current Barcelona squad is still far behind compared to the Real Madrid squad, the player material that Barcelona has cannot provide competition in La Liga and the Champions League because there are still deficiencies in several lines. Barcelona is trying to find solutions to patch up every weakness in its squad, but its financial strength is so weak that it makes it difficult for Barcelona to bring in quality players.
Barcelona decline is not Xavi fault, he has worked hard to improve Barcelona performance by utilizing young players, he also succeeded in bringing Barcelona the La Liga trophy and finishing in second place this season. It's true, due to Barcelona current financial crisis making it difficult for their performance to develop, now Barcelona is rebuilding the team after Xavi was replaced by Hansi Flick.

[hyudien]

That will not change the challenges Barcelona is facing currently, because new players are needed in the club to strengthen the club and improve their performance for next season.

In fact, in the previous season, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to become La Liga champions and he did this despite the limitations he felt while being Barcelona coach. Of course, with this achievement he deserves appreciation, yes, even though it seems to have led to his dismissal, it seems he was not appreciated after what he gave and did for Barcelona. Just because he said the right thing, management immediately took action, even though he was able to play Barcelona's game, which was not bad, although not very good.
I think Xavi must immediately look for a new team and he must show that in his new team he can achieve success, I think that is something he can do after all the things he experienced during his time at Barcelona. Let everyone judge who is actually the root of Barcelona's problems so far, whether it is the coach or the management who are incompetent in managing the team well.

Right now Barcelona is not exactly world-class. Their years have been really difficult. It shows. But blaming Xavi? That's not fair. The guy took over a mess, and he still managed to finish second in La Liga. Given all the financial difficulties the club faces, that is amazing. Xavi made doable with what he possessed. Hansi Flick, the new coach, now has a demanding task ahead of him. A new coach cannot overnight change everything. Barcelona needs better players, plain and simple. That also costs money and requires time. Give Xavi some credit then. And give Flick an opportunity. This isn't going to be easy, but I believe in Barcelona. And I believe in Real more

Whether Xavi or Flick, what I think Barcelona's problem today is finance. The decision to remove Xavi and replace him with Flick might not be a cc completely bad idea to me since the club must work hard and make decisions if that's what they must do to win next season. We can not be more smarter than the management team but to watch from the bird's eye view and make suggestions or recommendations. I think the removal of Xavi as the manager was more of that than just the performance issue. If I was to judge the efforts and performance of Xavi, I would not score him below average because he did his best but his best was just not enough which I still believe that is due to his lack of sufficient experience.

What I have noticed in most of this big clubs is that, they don’t like giving their managers more time to see how they can improve in their performance. All they do is to just fire them and bring in a new person immediately so that they don’t lost competency in the eyes of other clubs. Xavi won the La Liga title for Barcelona the season before the just concluded one that he was sacked. He still managed to finish as second position in the La Liga which is very hard to see such dominance from a team despite their complaint on finances and lack of funds to buy new players. He is indeed above average and should have been considered for one more season. They know the agreement they had with one another, so maybe in the agreement, they came to a conclusion that both parties came to a consensus on, so we just watch and see what the new coach got for the team; whether it’ll improve their performance, reduce the performance or make it stagnant as it was.

@iBaba Finances are the biggest thing that is hurting Barcelona right now which is why I was more surprised when I heard that they have decided to appoint a new coach and kick out Xavi. Who was doing a very decent job by the way? Some decisions taken by him were a little controversial. But he was getting decent results. He was able to win the La Liga title also one time. But maybe that was not enough for a broke club like Barcelona.

@Ndabagi01 I understand why the big clubs actually want huge levels of results. And they also do not give enough time to many coaches. That is because they think they have the money. So with good money, they should be able to get good results. Even though that is not the case but I understand that. But the problem starts when Which is as broke as Barcelona starts to think like that. Barcelona is so broke that they cannot even register players sometimes. Meanwhile, they are changing coaches like that is going to matter.

Xavi cannot be entirely blamed because he has contributed to lifting Barcelona's performance which had slumped. The financial crisis was the main cause for the Catalan team and it became very difficult for them to compete in La Liga and the Champions League. Laporta and Xavi's bad relationship was also another reason why they had to separate. If financial problems don't improve then I am pessimistic about Barcelona's chances next season.

Xavi is very likely to coach another team but he is a good man and in his heart he still loves Barcelona. He doesn't need to prove anything to be used as a comparison.

Their status is still a world class club, but there has been a decline that they have experienced which ultimately makes it difficult for them to compete, but they still hold that status.
Obviously it is very unfair to blame Xavi for Barcelona's failure this season or the season in which he was Barcelona coach. Because before he arrived, Barcelona's situation was not in a good condition. Maybe it makes more sense if we blame management for what they have experienced recently, because it stems from their uncertainty in managing finances, so they failed to maintain stable performance.
I think if they still have the same problems, then forever they will continue like this. So the first thing they have to solve is their internal problems, especially financial problems. Because I believe that if they can solve their problems, then slowly they will be able to get up and perform better.

Will Hansi Flick receive criticism from Barcelona fans if he fails to win a trophy next season, and will Hansi Flick be fired like Xavi if he fails, and what are his chances of bringing Barcelona to success in his two seasons in charge. Such questions will continue to arise in all of our minds, which is clearly not an easy job.

Two seasons is a very short time to bring Barcelona back to being an elite European club, resolve various chaos within the team, and gather world class players in one lineup. Hansi Flick needs more time to be able to make Barcelona have equal strength with eternal rivals Madrid.

On the other hand, even though Barcelona is facing complex problems, I think Hansi Flick has the opportunity to bring Barcelona to finish in the runner-up position in the La Liga standings, and can lead Barcelona to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League like last season. Let's see how Hansi Flick prepares his fleet to face the competition in its first season.

There are also French players in Real Madrid. This will make Mbappe's adaptation easier. Since he did not leave France, he adapted easily to PSG. It is his first time being transferred outside his own country and there may be some problems. For example, language problems, country differences, but I think Mbappe will get over this quickly.

If we talk about Mbappe's colleagues in France, of course he is familiar with Camavinga, Tchouameni and Mendy so whatever Mbappe needs while at Real Madrid can be directly asked to these players. The need to know the environment where he lives now is very important because it will also make it easier for him to adapt to the other players in the Los Blancos squad.

Apart from all that, I'm sure Mbappe won't have any difficulties in his first season playing for Real Madrid because it looks like he's already friends with Vini and Rodrygo. Now it's just a matter of how he can absorb what Ancelotti will give him through a strategy that will make Real Madrid so dangerous in front of its opponents.
