La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Cryptmuster]

The transfer market is always used to bring in new players, teams that performed poorly last season will make changes to add strength to their squad. Barcelona has been linked with several players in this transfer market, but so far has not brought in any new players, this is due to the club's financial condition which is still unhealthy and has clashed with FFP regulations.
Barcelona must improve their financial condition in order to be able to bring in new players, Hansi Flick has asked Laporta to prepare funds to be able to bring in new players, but they must release the players they currently have to get money so as not to clash with FFP rules. Barcelona must solve their problems one by one to improve their level, selling players is one of the options they can do so they can bring in new players.

Flick said publicly at a press conference that Barcelona does not need new transfers, and Laporta asked Xavi for new transfers, or rather demanded them, which is why they had a conflict. I understand that Barcelona has problems, so they need to refrain from new transfers, but why did they let Felix go? If I'm not mistaken, they said that they should keep such an important attacking player by any means, especially considering that they do not count on new transfers, or did they target Williams and therefore let Felix go? But PSG will not let them do this, they have much better financial opportunities and they can lure Williams...

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta have a whole lot to accomplish. While Hansi Flick is new and we don't expect him to start winning games and lifting titles for the club. It will take lengthy time before things fall in good place for Barcelona. The club's board and the supporters always expect high from the team's headcoach, probably not good for the status for the club. Barcelona are suffering from injuries, budget inequity and also having crucial debts on their heads. The club's gradually draining because it's been one of the hectic challenges for them.

I don't really know what has happened to Barcelona because they were actually doing well before Lionel Messi left the team in 2021 but i have made some research and found out that the major causes of the financial crisis rocking the club now was as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic and mismanagement of funds by the club's management and the current challenges that the club is facing now are some of the consequences that results from making wrong financial decisions so it will really take time before the team will recover which will definitely not be anytime soon because the club is already owing huge debts and numerous debts hinders the growth of a team.

The club's president and the fans can't expect any magic from the head coach Hansi Flick because he lacks the resources to run the club to a greater height, financial setback is one of the things that takes most teams backwards and if FC Barcelona is not careful more chaos may befall the team.

Girona is a La Liga club that performed impressively last season and managed to finish in 3rd place after Real Madrid and Barcelona and that was an extraordinary achievement for Girona, will he continue his impressive performance next season? and for the first time he got a ticket to play in the Champions League where he will face other top clubs but I'm not sure this club can go further because they don't have experience playing in this big league.

Btw Girona will play a pre-season match today with Espanyol, a club that has just returned to La Liga.
Espanyol is a club that was relegated in the 2022/23 season, they played 1 season in the Segunda Division and next season they will play in the La Liga again.

Why the word manage? They worked hard for that spot and they earned it, I'd not use the word for a club who obviously made La Liga more competitive and interesting when, clubs like Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid should have done better against Real Madrid. You should give them enough flowers for that, as it was their higher position in La Liga ever since they got promoted. I also cannot how they had a great record against sides below the top top in La Liga.

Concerning how well and how far they go last season, I'm not expecting them to do what they did last season anymore, I'm just keeping and maintaining an open mind, I also, do not want to write them off completely.
Playing the Champions League Competition come witjna whole lot and you need experience and at the same time depth. I have seen players who fought for them open towards leaving the club so I'm not certain how they'll go.

They had a couple signatures coming in already and it should be the fifth they have brought in so far. Like I said, don't write them off, you just keep an open mind towards anything. In between they might disappoint people who has high hopes for them because they have got no experience in the Champions League Competition.

[Marvell1]

Barcelona is visibly struggling at the moment when it comes to finance and that's why they've not been able to make huge signings recently but I read a statement this morning that was credited to the club president Laporta in which he said that "Our economic situation is much better than it was, we’re on our way back to normality". Judging by the statement from the club's management head, I think Barcelona are on track to regain their financial strength once again.
Fans of the club have endured an era of setback and can't wait to see the club signing the biggest playera in Europe again.

If you are interested in investigating Barcelona's financial problems, then try to get more information and transparency about their finances on their official website. I've read some parts from there including debt issues and a few others, it's good as a reference for discussion. But personally I don't need to go too deep into the club's finances, this is beyond my capacity as a football fan.
More Information: Transparency and Compliance
Whatever Barcelona's current financial condition, I can say that they are still one of the most competitive teams in La Liga compared to others. Real Madrid is certainly better and stronger than Barcelona, ​​but Ateltico Madrid and other teams are not necessarily better than Barcelona in terms of performance.

Barcelona is obviously one of the most competitive teams in La Liga. But if the financial situation is not good, they are not compatible going to be able to compete against Real Madrid. You know Real Madrid is the biggest barrier in front of them when they are thinking about the La Liga competition. I do not want to talk about the champions league competition. Because that is kind of out of reach for Hansi Flick right now. So let’s just talk about the La Liga competition. As long as Barcelona is not able provide sufficient amount of money to Hansi Flick by which he can improving the squad, I do not think they have any chance against Los Blancos. Unless for some reason Carlo Ancelotti change his mind and has to play literally the second squad, or rest the players because of the champions league matches, I do not think Flick's team is stronger enough to beat Real Madrid.


Barcablaugranes
And let’s be honest, whatever Joan Laporta says, the financial situation of Blancos is still pretty bad and he is trying hard to backup it.

[Zlantann]

Flick said publicly at a press conference that Barcelona does not need new transfers, and Laporta asked Xavi for new transfers, or rather demanded them, which is why they had a conflict. I understand that Barcelona has problems, so they need to refrain from new transfers, but why did they let Felix go? If I'm not mistaken, they said that they should keep such an important attacking player by any means, especially considering that they do not count on new transfers, or did they target Williams and therefore let Felix go? But PSG will not let them do this, they have much better financial opportunities and they can lure Williams...

He said he doesn't need new players because he wants to be loyal to Barcelona president Joan Laporta.  Hansi Flick doesn't want what happened to Xavi Hernandez to happen to him. Don't forget that one of the reasons why Xavi was sacked was when he openly spoke about the financial situation of Barca and how the club cannot compete with Real Madrid. I don't know how the German wants to manage Barca that he is saying the club doesn't need new players. From my perspective, players like Lewandowski, João Félix, João Cancelo, and Vitor Roque are not dependable, so the club needs to sharpen the attacking force. If Hansi thinks he is comfortable with the current squad, he shouldn't complain when the time comes.

It seems Hansi didn't add Joao Felix to this season's plans. He is committed to bringing in Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. His comment looks confusing; how will you say you don't need players, and you have plans to bring in new players? Even the best team in the world is still in the transfer market, seeking players to solidify their squad. It's a pity that Barca decided not to go for Felix; now he has to move back to Atletico Madrid, which is not also in the plans of Diego Simeone.

[Rockstarguy]

I hope Barcelona is not expecting the new coach to take the team to win a trophy this season because that is what Barcelona and the fans used to do, bringing a new coach doesn’t mean that a team most win a trophy, although it will be good if a team win a trophy they should not be expecting it and when the team didn’t win anything and they will all started blaming the new coach that he is not good, the reason why I’m saying this is because I know Barcelona and the fans are not going to be happy if the team end up without no winning any trophy at the end of the season.

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta have a whole lot to accomplish. While Hansi Flick is new and we don't expect him to start winning games and lifting titles for the club. It will take lengthy time before things fall in good place for Barcelona. The club's board and the supporters always expect high from the team's headcoach, probably not good for the status for the club. Barcelona are suffering from injuries, budget inequity and also having crucial debts on their heads. The club's gradually draining because it's been one of the hectic challenges for them.

All we need to see this season is good transformation, solid squad and it doesn't necessarily mean that Barcelona must win the laliga title this season.

When their is a new coach in a team it is not easy for the coach to win the title that season,  but what people are expecting to see from the is his performance,  bringing the players together to work as a team, this is what I'm expecting from the new coach.  Barcelona's performance in last season was very poor and this not what should be seen in this season from the new coach. The first season when xavi was coach of Barcelona they didn't win the league that very season but their was a good transformation and that an evidence to belive that Barcelona could win the league title.

It seems that Barcelona is currently confused about which players they can sell in order to be able to bring in better new players without having to clash with FFP regulations. Because Hansi Flick's suggestion about providing funds to be able to buy new players for Barcelona is not wrong because that is what the Barcelona team itself needs, but when Barcelona has to choose to sell one of its players to the transfer market at this time, of course it will make the team feel dizzy to see who is more suitable to be released in order to have the opportunity to buy other players before the season starts.

[legendbtc]

I thought the Barcelona management would not decide to sell a talented young player like Vitor Roque. My guess was that Vitor Roque would go on loan to Barcelona. However, Barcelona is now in a financial crisis. And they want to make money by selling Vitor Roque. And perhaps this is why the Barcelona management is interested in selling young players like Vitor Roque.

Barcelona name price for Vitor Roque amid Saudi interest

From several news I have seen that Saudi club Al Hilal have expressed interest in adding Vitor Roque to their squad. But would Vitor Roque be interested in playing in the Saudi League at the moment? Barcelona are interested in selling Vitor Roque for 40 million. Paying this amount is not a big problem for the Saudi club. I guess AL Hilal would be interested in buying Vitor Roque for 40 million.

Coach Hansi Flick should consider Roque's performance in pre-season before making a final decision. If Barcelona were to push the youngster to Saudi Arabia, they would be guaranteed a huge profit. It remains unclear what will happen to Vitor Roque, but Barcelona needs to sell players and the Brazilian is currently out of the club's starting line-up. I can speculate that the reason is that Barcelona wants to make some money to pave the way for Nico Williams.

Most likely, Roque will reject Al Hilal. The young Brazilian talent wants to receive offers from European teams. If he plays in an environment like the Saudi Pro League, it will be very difficult for this 19-year-old striker's career to develop.

There is no other choice for Barcelona to be able to bring in new players, namely by selling some of the players they have to get money because of the financial crisis they have, it is quite confusing indeed but I think they can overcome it, this has happened in the last few seasons and management can still maintain Barcelona's performance so as not to slump too much even with all the problems they have. Hansi Flick must be fully supported by management to be able to improve team performance and now we see some of Barcelona's team targets are quite qualified so they have to make great efforts to be able to make that happen.

Barcelona will most likely release Vitor Roque to Al Hilal, but we realize that is not enough if Barcelona wants to realize the transfer of Dani Olmo and Nico Williams. What is clear is that Barcelona will have difficulty cashing in Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati because they are all injured. A situation that will complicate Barcelona transfer steps, this is where Hansi Flick must rack his brains to find other alternative solutions with the club top brass. So far, 4 players have been successfully brought in, but it seems that they are not Hansi Flick main priority next season. Time is running out with the new season starting in mid-August, Barcelona needs to move quickly to form a main squad.

[rendravolt]

The wait has arrived and today Endrick was officially introduced to the Bernabeu public, even his presentation was similar to Kylian Mbappe which was attended by tens of thousands of fans. So many fans have been waiting for it since last season but it can only be realized now after he turned 18 years old. Endrick is also the youngest player in the Los Blancos squad which was previously held by Arda Guler.

Not a few tears fell from him because he never expected that his welcome would be this lively. As a young player, his heart will certainly be very touched to be at the club that was his dream when he was little. Endrick will wear the number 16 jersey and it seems that he will also be more of a backup for Kylian Mbappe next season. Well, hopefully the best and his journey will still be very long with Real Madrid.

[Hirose UK]

Girona is a La Liga club that performed impressively last season and managed to finish in 3rd place after Real Madrid and Barcelona and that was an extraordinary achievement for Girona, will he continue his impressive performance next season? and for the first time he got a ticket to play in the Champions League where he will face other top clubs but I'm not sure this club can go further because they don't have experience playing in this big league.

Btw Girona will play a pre-season match today with Espanyol, a club that has just returned to La Liga.
Espanyol is a club that was relegated in the 2022/23 season, they played 1 season in the Segunda Division and next season they will play in the La Liga again.

Yes Girona is great team and strong enough last season to be able to become one of the teams that provide tight competition in the title fight and then in the placement of the standings when the competition is about to end.
Girona development last season cannot be denied and they can really create performance condition on the right path, there are several mainstay players who have been developed well and this is the main reason Girona can appear impressive.
They are also expected to be able to return to being team that dominates the match next season with win to be able to create more competitive competition, I still have faith that next season Girona may be able to be better than Barcelona.

But today was really unlucky, Girona played badly in the pre-season match and against Espanyol who is promoted team in La Liga next season and they couldn't win, I think this is the umpteenth time in the pre-season match that the top team has failed.

Hansi Flick must be fully supported by management to be able to improve team performance and now we see some of Barcelona's team targets are quite qualified so they have to make great efforts to be able to make that happen.

It is not about having targets but bringing it to reality is what matters. Barcelona don't have funds and they want to buy quality players but they don't want to sell players to have the finance to bring in these set of young players which they want.

If they don't sell some players then I see their motive of buying Olmo and Nicole Williams as a dream that might not come true this season. Yoy are to use what you have to get what you want. Assuming Xavi did not leave the club maybe he might find a means of maintaining the club strength for Barcelona to always finish second because even if they buy Olmo and Williams, Barcelona will not win Laliga next season but it will keep the competition interesting.

[bitLeap]

Barcelona might find their prime again but not this season or even next season because they still have the same problem and it hasn't really gotten a solution. It is their financial condition that is actually the biggest obstacle because that means they can't be free in every season and whoever the coach appointed by Laporta seems to have to face that problem. Not only coaches, even players will also feel the impact if the problem is not completely resolved because there could be cuts to their salary budget. That could be triggering dissatisfied morals in the team, which means they will face more struggle in the title race.

So far there has been no promising action from Laporta regarding the settlement of Barcelona debt. If you look closely, Laporta seems to be struggling and the people in Barcelona's management are not showing any seriousness in paying off the debt. This debt error was caused by themselves who during their heyday were too extravagant, buying players carelessly and promising big salaries to their players. Without realizing it, it led to the current situation which no one knows when it will be paid off. If they are to blame, then Barcelona management is responsible for the collapse of the club's finances. Laporta, who should have made the decision to sell players, is reluctant to do so for fear of damaging the stability of the game. Then where will they pay?

Barcelona must take a look at Bordeaux a professional club from France the club that gave birth to Zidane and Tchuameni. Remember Bordeaux is a team that has won Ligue 1 6 times. Like Barcelona, ​​the main problem of the Bordeaux club is the financial crisis that caused this club to go bankrupt.

Want to see Barcelona go bankrupt? We'll see if this club doesn't find the best way to pay off its debts, then it is possible that one day it could suffer the same fate as Bordeaux.

[RaltcoinsB]

Barcelona's golden era has ended and now they are in a new era. It is undeniable that Barcelona is now no longer the best competing team in Europe either in the Europa League or in the Champions League, even in La Liga they are really struggling to win a place in the Champions League zone. This kind of situation is not what they want by nature, but it has happened and they are just working to fix it.

Barcelona needs time to improve everything, but sometimes people expect them to be strong without strong financial support. Real Madrid is clearly in a period of glory, but it's not certain they can stay like this forever without financial problems. Even other top teams may still have problems in the future, but we don't know when.

I am interested in Barcelona getting stronger, I want to see a very strong Barcelona so that they can play with everything they have against Real Madrid, They have a great player like Yamal, he is good and has a lot of potential. I think that next to Lewa he can make the difference In this order of ideas, what they need is for people to believe in them. And why do I want them to be very good ? Easy, because only if Madrid beats them, the victory will be much more pleasant , than saying that they were beaten with the best players they have at the moment.

Barcelona might find their prime again but not this season or even next season because they still have the same problem and it hasn't really gotten a solution. It is their financial condition that is actually the biggest obstacle because that means they can't be free in every season and whoever the coach appointed by Laporta seems to have to face that problem. Not only coaches, even players will also feel the impact if the problem is not completely resolved because there could be cuts to their salary budget. That could be triggering dissatisfied morals in the team, which means they will face more struggle in the title race.

Of course, there is such a thing as you said. Laporta, I don't think they can achieve success without improving the team's economic conditions. The economic conditions are very difficult for Barcelona right now. In order for it not to be more difficult, they have to go on the path of both success and financial tightening. They have to last a few years in La Liga. Later, with the economic conditions improving, they can make big transfers.

[Roseline492]

It is not about having targets but bringing it to reality is what matters. Barcelona don't have funds and they want to buy quality players but they don't want to sell players to have the finance to bring in these set of young players which they want.

In terms of Barcelona selling some of their players to get new ones, we should also consider the fact that majority of there players we are expecting them to sell may not worth much on the market, so perhaps before they could get one important player they must have selling up to three or four players before they could raise such amounts of money, so actually I believe that is one of the reasons why the club is finding it difficult to sell there players because right now apart from there first eleven I don't think their other players will probably worth much, so perhaps they must have been feeling that instead of wasting up to five players to get one experience player they could as well wait till they are financially stable before making any decision.

While Hansi Flick and Laporta are fumbling for money, the true issue is: How the hell did one of the largest clubs in the world get broke? Instead of bringing in fresh talent, they are holding to athletes past their prime. Crazy! They let Joao Felix go; he was a possible star. That is just sheer stupidity. They have to make some difficult decisions quickly if they want to be contenders once more. They lag years behind Real Madrid right now. Their one hope is that Real screws big time. Still, Barca might be able to extract a rabbit from the hat. This is football, sweetheart; everything can happen

The best club in the world was onced referred to Barcelona because they’ve in possession the required stats to reach the ultimate stage in football. They’ve set up the stational odds to win matches but checking their current position, it’s been really a total struggle. Barcelona have made couple of mistakes in the past and it’s been really a rough one for them, I would say nemesis catching up with club in the present day’s football.

Never too late for Barcelona, they revived their steps by bringing in Hansi Flick to deal with the current positions and make things fall back to better. The supporters keeps all hope alive because the road they’re about to embark on would definitely be challenging, however the new coach is competent to lead his team to triumphs.

Endrick will wear the number 16 jersey and it seems that he will also be more of a backup for Kylian Mbappe next season. Well, hopefully the best and his journey will still be very long with Real Madrid.

Yes, that's right. He became one of the youngest players after previously being held by Arda Guller, and his presentation at Real Madrid was very touching, Enrick did show that he was still a child, but he also showed that he was a player who was hungry for glory as an adult. He came from the biggest club in Brazil until now he is at the biggest club in the world of course this is what made this welcome so touching that he couldn't hold back his tears because he was so touched.

Endrick's presence will make Real Madrid's front line stronger and make opponents afraid to face Real Madrid, Mbappe and Enrick are Real Madrid's future attackers. But for me Real Madrid still needs to buy a defender, because honestly Real Madrid's back line is still very weak especially after they lost captain Nacho. Overall, Real Madrid's squad this season, the midfield and front lines are strong enough, it's just that the defense needs to be considered again. If Real Madrid manages to bring in some defenders in this transfer market, I'm sure the La Liga Trophy and UCL Trophy will belong to Real Madrid again this season.

[Iranus]

Barcelona really has a big ambition to get Dani Olmo and I'm sure most people here know about this news. For me this might be a reasonable offer but logically the team that owns the player also doesn't want to let go of a reliable player but paid in installments for several seasons. On the one hand Leipzig would definitely choose to release the player to another team that can pay in full without any risk.

And even though the offer will later be approved by Leipzig, it is actually a bad start for Barcelona finances because it adds to the burden of debt in the future. This is what Barcelona must avoid, which is only ambitious to bring in players without thinking about its finances in the future which are currently not recovering.

They're ambitious but not wise, I can't say anything more about them, even just getting Nico Williams made their fans make a fundraiser, plus the plan to bring in Dani Olmo, everything could be chaotic for Barcelona's future.

What do you think is going on in their minds? They already have a pretty good squad at the moment, did this happen because of Real Madrid's mega transfer which succeeded in getting Kylian Mbappe?

Source: https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/barcelona-told-significantly-improve-offer-095900238.html

Actually RB Leipzig considered this proposal of the Catalan club ridiculous

Well if it was me I would have also said that this is a ridiculous offer. He is a far better player than what Barcelona is offering. And honestly there is no doubt that this offer is not going to be enough for Barcelona to actually get him. Barcelona will have to offer more money upfront to actually get him in the squad. The add ons are probably fine because well, they are add ons. But the actual offering has to be a lot higher. 40 million for such a quality player when almost anyone with a little bit of talent goes for hundred million is absolutely not possible.
