La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[slapper]

~snip~

I am very happy to see Barcelona's game in this pre-season, I hope they can maintain their game until La Liga starts and this season will run well and according to Barcelona management's plan, Although this defeat is embarrassing, the positive thing is that Hansi Flick knows which points are lacking in his squad, so that he can fix the shortcomings of all lines at least it can be balanced with the game that will be used by Hansi Flick.

Barcelona fans, wake up and smell the coffee. Preseason hype is one thing, but getting smacked 3-0 by Monaco? That acts as a reality check. Give me nothing like "it's just a friendly". It reveals holes, simple and basic. Surely Flick has a plan. Still, making this Barcelona team a contender? That calls more than just strategies. It takes time and perhaps some fresh faces as well. How he manages this situation will be interesting

This is a warning indication whether or not preseason exists. Chemistry's off; the execution is shoddy. Barcelona has a fight this season; they best be ready

After seeing the overall performance of Barcelona in this match, I would say that Barcelona is in a weak position this season as well as last season. I don't see any improvement in their performance. Last season we saw the performance of Barcelona's forward players erratic and the defense weak. We are seeing the same thing this season as well.

Barcelona's attack might be stronger if Lewandowski and Yamal perform well. The overall performance of Barcelona's attack depends on this pair. Barcelona's midfield is also quite strong. But Barcelona's defense is weak. If Hansi Flick can't strengthen Barcelona's defense then I don't expect this team to perform well next season. Hansi Flick should now take the necessary steps to strengthen Barcelona's defence, adding experienced defenders to the squad.

[Minecache]

None of us imagine that the Atalanta team will win the Europa League final. However, Atalanta performed well in the Europa League. Liverpool and Marseille qualified for the Europa League final after defeating them. And the Atalanta team won the Europa League after defeating a strong team like Leverkusen in the final.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly stronger than Atalanta. But the Atalanta team cannot be considered weak. This team often surprises everyone with excellent performances. But we are all waiting to see Mbappe's performance in Real Madrid jersey.

Yes, you are right, I don’t know who would risk betting today that Atalanta is capable of beating Real, and the odds of 6.5 on Atalanta indicate that bookmakers also estimate their chances very low. To some extent, Real was lucky in the Champions League final, when their opponent was Dortmund, because to be honest, it was not the strongest team that could have been their opponent in the final. And the same thing is happening in the Super Cup final, because if Bayer had played them today, and they had been able to maintain their unbeaten streak until today, then the chances would have been estimated differently, but I think it will not be a problem for Real to beat Atalanta today.

I thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match seems very boring to me now. Neither team is doing much attacking. The players of both teams are playing very carefully. Mbappe is in Madrid's squad. But we have yet to see a better performance from Mabppe. At the end of 30 minutes, both teams managed to make only one shot each. Madrid had 51% ball possession and Atalanta had 49% ball possession.

As both teams are playing defensive tactics, it looks like the first half will end goalless. However, in the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy. I hope the second half will be more exciting. Madrid really want to win today's match.

Both teams seemed to play more carefully in the first half. And indeed the match was quite boring. Initially I thought both teams would immediately play aggressively from the start but it seems my guess was wrong. but I was quite surprised because Atalanta could also match Real Madrid well. And Real Madrid is also still having difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense. In the second half, maybe the fun will only begin. Because in the first half the two teams were just testing each other's strengths and trying to observe the opponents' weaknesses. So that in the second half all teams will have finished analyzing and a better strategy will definitely be used. But if it turns out that in the second half the match is still running the same as in the first half then it looks like this match will not be as lively as we expected.

Atalanta is indeed able to provide very strong resistance but for me this condition is very reasonable because both clubs have just started this season's match in the super cup competition.
Actually Atalanta is not too strong and Real Madrid only needs a little chemistry after the arrival of Mbappe, it certainly takes a lot of time to be able to become a strong formation.
Ancelotti always uses this strategy in the first half using a little attack to see how the Atalanta players play but after that Real Madrid will provide a stronger attack in the second half.
Just see later in the second half Real Madrid will definitely score a winning score.

Real Madrid problem is from the midfield, they don't have who to be in charge of the midfield and they allowed Atalanta to be in control of the midfield. This is where Kross will be missed because assuming he is still in Real Madrid, he will do the job professionally. However, I know that Ancelotti must have seen he laxity and will make substitutes that will improve their performance and change the game to the orb favor on the second half. Most games that Real Madrid won last season, they scored in the second half and the first half for Ancelotti is for studing his opponent weaknesses.

I already know that Real Madrid midfield will face challenges now that Toni Kroos has left because he was basically controlling the midfield all through his time at Real Madrid but this is the time when he will be remembered by the club because he was equivalent to a one man duty in the midfield.   
              They are already in the second half and Real Madrid was able to capture 2 goals yet after the central midfielder F. Valverde scored in the 59 minutes and the goal was assisted by Vinicius Jr and the Almighty Kylian Mbappé scored the second goal in the 68 minutes, all thanks to Jude Bellingham who provided the assist for Mbappé, the game is becoming more interesting in this second half unlike the first half.

You are making it seems like you know the job way better than Anceloti that position Jude Bellingham, Valverde and Tchouameni that are in that position. Anceloti objectives has been achieved and that is securing 2 goals for the game and they are already 88 minutes away from the match, in few minutes everything will be done and I doubt if Atalanta has the capacity and what it takes to equalized this goal at this little time.

Mbape has just recorded its first goal for Real Madrid and again his first appearance for Real Madrid, I think we might we see a ground breaking in the club perhaps that is if he get enough assist from the midfield because I can see that Bellingham is still trying to do the work of Mbape despite been the number 9 for this match. Seems he is not giving up for his Balon D'or ambition.

Losing three goals to Monaco is very unbelievable and they need to do better if they really want to be who they want in the coming season. It might be a friendly match but the game was played and possession more by the opponent and gave them the win in the match swiftly. This is a matter of seriousness and Barcelona needs to be more concerned about how their next season is going to be. They are amongst the team many have seen to be a major league contender, they shouldn’t fail their supporters and well wishers with this type of performance.

The new coach do not need to show that he’s trying to incorporate the team together, he should make them be the best if he wants to still keep his job with the club beyond just one season. Preseason matches gives room for knowing the loop holes and mistakes that needs to be corrected on a team, with this many mistakes from Barcelona they need to go back to the drawing board and do some correction before coming out into the field to make same mistake again.

Congratulations to Real Madrid who became champions and this is the 6th Super Cup trophy. Everyone is quite satisfied and Mbappe scored his first goal so that what we have always wanted is complete. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham really made this match special to help Mbappe score his first goal and it worked. Happy to see the current composition that is beautiful to look at, an attack line that can be done from all directions. Although in the first half there was still a little awkwardness that Mbappe felt but after entering the second half the game began to flow and a plus point for Ancelotti if he could maximize his experiments in placing Mbappe position.

Now we will focus on La Liga and hopefully with the confidence of Madrid players, there is a big chance to be able to maximize the trophy fight again next season.

Hey you're too harsh buddy but it's a good thing to wake them up
The Joan Gamper trophy that they made themselves and the opponent that was chosen somehow they had to be slaughtered with a pretty heavy score where the players they dropped were mostly core players.
As for the other friendlies too, I think if the score is the benchmark then it seems ordinary although it was very good when they managed to draw the big club and win against Madrid but it's not enough for them now.

Barcelona are still experiencing a crisis in the game, besides it seems that for now Flick still cannot determine what scheme is suitable especially with Dani Olmo who is still not registered as a player from Barcelona.
They still have a lot of work to do to get the season off to a good start so don't be too satisfied with the pre-season results.

This is what they should get because after all, with the condition of the club and their readiness is much better than Atalanta, let alone the different quality of players, the final result like this has been predicted from the beginning.
Madrid's dominance was very visible even though for the first half their match was actually quite boring but at the beginning of the second half Ancelotti seemed to give directions to play more boldly and 2 goals were recorded in today's match.

A good start for Mbappe because with a debut and managed to score a goal then of course this is a pretty good hope for him to run the season in Madrid although actually I don't really see too many things he did especially with the formation where Madrid actually rarely puts 1 striker in front like this and Mbappe still seems to have to adapt to the scheme he was made a goalgetter who previously at PSG he always played as a winger.

Honestly I really enjoyed the way and manner both team went about business and we saw how the Atalanta side tried to break through the defense of the champions but it wasn't happening. To me the Atalanta I saw play against Bayer Leverkusen wasn't the ones that came to battle tonight, they were sloppy couldn't hold on to the ball as of the best part of the second half, if they did well at least in the first half they would have been leading the game but things went bad for them.
Well the season hasn't started but one thing is for sure about the Madrid team, they are going to be unstoppable this season because the attacking force are really hungry to get goals and trophies, so who can stop them this time around? Not Barca or ATM and it will be a difficult season for the other clubs. Congrats to Madrid and Mbappe for winning his first Super Cup.

[Majestic-milf]

 Mbappe marks his debut at Real Madrid with a goal and a trophy! What a way to start life at the Bernabeu. Indeed Atalanta were no match for them and even though they put up a well structured defense, the likes of Vini Jr and Bellingham and even Mbappe still found a way to break through.
Atalanta were hoping to bank on many pitting their hopes on Real Madrid and deliver a shocker like they did at the Europa finals but I guess they were quickly put in their place.
 A really fine game and a display of masterclass football from both sides, even though Real Madrid were more offensive in their attack.
Once again, Vini Jr is giving the Saudi Arabia club, Al itihad more reasons to top the money as his performance was exceptional today, leaving no room for argument on him being the best right winger there is in Spanish la Liga.

Seems he is not giving up for his Balon D'or ambition.

It was a good day for Mbappe as his debut was really a good result because apart from scoring, this was the first trophy he got for a big competition which he had never even experienced when he was at PSG
1 goal for 1 UEFA Super Cup trophy is good enough to make Mbappe more confident in doing his job in Madrid next season.
Although I didn't see him use much of his pace and dribbling in today's match but he still deserves to be praised for his performance today.
Congratulations to Madrid for their first trophy of the new season and I'm happy with the result they have although in terms of the game especially for the first half I didn't really like it where they waited too much and hesitated to create chances but it was all covered with a slick game in the second half.

Wearing jersey number 9 as a striker makes it more easy for Mbappe to find the back of the net and he can play from anywhere either from the left wing or he will be the finisher. Atalanta started the match with gra gra, thinking that they will be able to subdue Real Madrid defense but it didn't turn out to be so.

Real Madrid was able to win Atalanta on a clean sheet and I believe that we have seen a little highlight on how the Champions League will be like for Real Madrid because all their players are just too good from the first eleven to the bench are all stars. It is a pity that Atalanta coach was acting as if it will be possible for him to win Real Madrid.

Real Madrid 2 - 0 Atalanta BC

As expected from Real Madrid, they managed to win the game against Atalanta. It was a game that I enjoyed watching, mainly because it was Mbappe's first official game, which proved that he is a great player. I say that he proved that he is a great player because Endrick, who recently arrived at Real Madrid, was unable to score at least 1 goal in the friendly games, even though he is a good player in the Brazilian League. However, Mbappe managed to score 1 goal in his first official game. We will see in 4 days how Mbappe will do in his first La Liga game, which will be the game against Mallorca. I don't know why the odds are @1.56 in favor of Real Madrid, since Mallorca is not a very strong team and Real Madrid is stronger than last season.
