La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[mammusu]

of course the matter of Gundogan and Olmo is only because of the club's unbalanced financial problems and it is not Flick's hasty action. Flick has so far been quite good at managing the team even though he knows the situation at his club now. The series of wins recorded must have made the players' motivation multiply, especially Rafinha and his friends were able to win big over Valladolid, which I think is extraordinary. If good performance like that can be maintained, it will pose a serious threat to Real Madrid. And of course the revival of Blaugrana makes the competition in La Liga interesting again.

I don't think there is any connection with Gundogan's departure or Olmo's arrival, Barcelona looked very good even without these changes, but from the perspective of Olmo it looks more reasonable, he is younger and maybe he has more ambitions, especially since this player scores in every match so far. Valladolid's defense couldn't withstand the pressure and broke very quickly, they held out much longer against Real, but objectively Real looks worse at the beginning of the season, something is wrong with their attack, maybe Ancelotti should leave Mbappe on the bench in one of the matches to see how the attack will play without him, as it was before.

Barcelona decision to release Gundogan and also a number of other players certainly caused a lot of speculation about the deterioration of their finances, especially at that time after releasing many players but Barcelona still could not register Dani Olmo to the squad, but fortunately now Dani Olmo has been able to strengthen Barcelona and even now he has scored two goals as a Barcelona player, including when they slaughtered Valladolid with a score of 7-0.  
Barcelona journey at the beginning of this season is really surprising we remember before we continued to underestimate them because of financial problems but at this time Barcelona is like trying to run alone leaving Madrid in their back, the point difference between the two is now 7 points although Barcelona has played 4 matches while Madrid has only played 3 matches, but if Madrid does not rise immediately then it will be difficult for Madrid to maintain their status as the defending champions of La Liga this season,  Barcelona, who have had a lot of problems in recent seasons, do not seem to have an effect on their squad's performance in matches and for now I admit that Hansi Flick was able to motivate his players to develop and be consistent in winning at the beginning of this season.

Barcelona decision to release Gundogan and also a number of other players certainly caused a lot of speculation about the deterioration of their finances, especially at that time after releasing many players but Barcelona still could not register Dani Olmo to the squad, but fortunately now Dani Olmo has been able to strengthen Barcelona and even now he has scored two goals as a Barcelona player, including when they slaughtered Valladolid with a score of 7-0.  

Dani Olmo is younger than Gundogan and he has a more direct attacking style than Gundogan. Olmo can provide faster attacking contributions than Gundogan and can take advantage of space created by Lewandowski. As a single player, he can contribute many things for Barcelona but to succeed, Barcelona need more than one Olmo.

They have very impressive matches so far in La Liga but I doubt that their defense system is actually too strong. To win La Liga title, they must analyze own weakness in defense and try to improve it because in a long season, defensive weakness will cost them many points that is not good for a title race with Real Madrid.

Barcelona has finally moved to the modern gameplay. The winning mentality is coming back even with so many young talents in our squad.

Raphinha deserved the top rating. He scored a hat trick and had two assists. He's on fire, getting more and more phenomenal.

Lewandoski is ok, and he did his job very well as a striker, but less people praised his performance.

Olmo is so damn cooking in Barcelona.

Yamal has been phenomenal. His movement and passing are a great asset to his club. Next neymar?

Yamal, Olmo, and Raphinha are the essence of fluidity combination.

With Yamal, Olmo and Raphinha, Barcelona have very speedy attacking players who can create good key passes, assists and space for their main striker Lewandowski. Together, they will make a very dangerous attacking system for Barcelona and they actually shown their strength in early matches of La Liga.

4 matches with maximum 12 points, and 13 goals, 3 conceded goals, these stats are very impressive.

Barcelona, currently the strongest team in La Liga, are the most excited this season as they failed to win the title last season. At the moment they are at the top of the points table with 12 points their only rival is Real Madrid, but this Madrid team is not in a very good form at the moment. As we have seen the Real Madrid team go on with their performances, they will definitely not be ahead of the title race this season.
After playing three matches they have won only one match and drawn both matches for which they have only 5 points and are at the fifth position in the standings. Still, if they want to compete with Barcelona, they have to cut the gap of 7 points, otherwise Real Madrid will not be able to compete with the team with the top status. Although the next match is against Betis at home, the Madrid side must improve their game or they will likely have their dream of winning La Liga shattered.

There is no bad comment about Barcelona this season in La Liga because in terms of quality they have a squad depth that will not be easily defeated. On the other hand, Barcelona rivals are experiencing serious problems that have not been solved until now. The 7-0 victory was perfect, there were no selfish Barcelona players on the field, all worked together, shoulder to shoulder creating a beautiful game from every line and Real Madrid is now below Barcelona in terms of balance. Lewandowski is back to being a monster in the hands of Hansi Flick, this coach is crazy with a cool hand, his reaction after scoring 7 goals was not surprised and Barcelona has returned to being a dangerous club.

[...] My prediction: Atletico will win with a narrow score of 1-0 or 2-1.

The final result is Athletic Bilbao 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid, as i thought this match would not produce many goals & in other words Rendravolt's prediction was very wrong. What the market favors almost always turns out to be true, it would be a mistake not to believe what the market believes. By the way, Julian Alvarez hasn't done anything interesting so far, Angel Correa came as the hero for the team because of his late goal.

Surprisingly Barcelona seems to have collected a bunch of good young players in the team. Lewandowski, the old man stands as the pillar for the team, a player underrated mostly and is complemented by young emerging talents like Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarasi and
Alex Baldw. Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Dani Olmo too are on peak of their performance. Though Xavi's not their, the team seems to be in line with the strategy of new coach. Even if they are the only team who haven't lost a point till date in La Liga this season, it's too early to decide if they are contender for the title as the point difference were huge last season between them and Real Madrid.

Barcelona young players are doing well and Lewandowski is leading them with his experience. Other players like Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Dani Olmo are also playing great. Even without Xavi new coach has clear plan. Barcelona has not lost game in La Liga yet which is good but it is too early to say they can win title. They were far behind Real Madrid last season. However they are off to strong start and they might surprise people by doing well in title race.

It is true that if you look at the many young Barcelona players, of course it will make Barcelona have a good squad for now and the future and also the young Barcelona players who are currently performing very well, and indeed Lewandowski can be said to be no longer young but his performance is still good and of course players who are younger than him will learn from Lewandowski.

But yes, it is true that even though Xavi is currently no longer coaching, of course Hansi Flick is a professional coach, the proof is that Barcelona in his hands is still fine and Hansi Flick also showed at the beginning of this season by always making wins when Barcelona competed. and now Barcelona has succeeded in being at the top of the standings and of course this is very good.

But of course Barcelona seems to have the potential to continue to compete with Real Madrid because of course Real Madrid also currently still has many good young players and of course it will certainly create good potential now and in the future its performance will also have great potential. but unfortunately at the beginning of this season Real Madrid was a little disappointing because its performance was not good because the points obtained were still inferior to Barcelona. let's see if Barcelona can maintain its current position at the top of the standings or not. and also we will see whether Ancelotti can fix Real Madrid or not to make Barcelona down from the top of the standings.
of course we will see the next match Real Madrid against Betis and of course if Real Madrid does not win it will certainly make it difficult for Real Madrid to compete for points with Barcelona but of course in that match I want to bet on Real Madrid's victory because I am sure Ancelotti will make a good strategy in that match what do you think who will win?

Their victories in previous matches against Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano were not so convincing, in some cases they had to win back, so the last big victory can be attributed to the fact that Valladolid is a weaker team. Because even in matches when Barcelona conceded first, they also dominated for almost the entire match, but did not score as many goals as yesterday.

Atletico beat Athletic Bilbao yesterday, and Williams' game is still not very convincing, maybe the reason is that they have difficult opponents at the start and then it will be easier.

I don't think anyone can make bad comments about Barcelona as a result of this game they played, it is a very amazing game the fact they did not give them breathing space, and from the 20th minute till the 80 minutes of the game it was the goal upon goal, Lewandowski scored one and gave two assists and he played as if he was in his 20s and despite his age he still players better than some young players. and that is why sometimes age is just numbers, it does not matter at all. not only Barcelona's rivals even Barcelona is facing a lot of challenges but I don't think the challenges are still affecting their performance currently. the score was a finishing blow for their opponent yesterday.  just because of this game, we can not just jump to the conclusion that Real Madrid is below Barcelona just because they were able to defeat their opponent with seven zeros it's a lot but why did it result that way because their opponent is weak? and now the only thing that will matter now is consistency and the moment they can keep up with the game then we can conclude that Barcelona is back on track.
