La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[KingsDen]

Over the past two or three seasons I will say the El Classico has been a bit one sided if you ask me. With Real Madrid been the favourites over these period because of Barcelona poor performances and state,

This is not correct. I can remember very well that under Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona did much better than Real Madrid when they meet. Xavi's problem was in European competitions and not against Real Madrid.

Xavi Hernandez won 5 out of the 7 meetings with Real Madrid ever he took over as the Barcelona head coach in 2021. Below are the notable wins;

• March 2022: Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabéu in La Liga.
• January 2023: Barcelona also won the Spanish Super Cup with a 3-1 victory. I remember this match like it was yesterday.
• Also, March 2023: Barcelona triumphed 1-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg and later 2-1 in La Liga.

I wonder where you drive your statistics from.

Barcelona are going to Real Madrid home in top to play this match, and we are still expecting Barcelona to win or even draw. I can deny the fact that Barcelona are in good form, but the Real Madrid we are talking about, seriously, will find it difficult to get Real Madrid are going to make the match more difficult for Barcelona because being at home is another motivation aside from the fact that they are strong even in away matches.

I think it's too early to discuss the first El Classico of the season even when I know that football fans across the globe are very eager to talk about all important game. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona will play two fixtures each before that very day. For Barcelona, they'll host Sevilla when the Spanish La Liga returns next weekend before hosting Bayern Munich 3 days later in the UCL. Their visit to Real Madrid will an epic game without doubt but before then, a lot of things that might affect the result of that game might happen such as injury to either of the clubs important players.

I just got this information now from my news feed.

Atletico Madrid stadium has been renamed " Riyadh Air Metropolitano”.

The club has signed a contract with the Saudi airline that could bring in between €250M-€300M in total.

If this report happens to be true, then it will be the third time that Atletico Madrid will be renaming their new stadium since they started using it in 2017. It was initially named Wanda Metropolitano before they changed the name to Civitas Metropolitano and now a new name is been reported to be the stadium's official name. I understand that they need to sign lucrative deals in other to make good fortunes but that shouldn't make them to be renaming their stadium at intervals

It is a good deal in my opinion. You just have to name something for a good amount of money. Nothing spent, 100% gain. Few people will notice the difference, most people will call it Atlético Madrid stadium or Metropolitano just like Etihad stadium, it is simply Manchester City stadium for many people and the club will keep the money.

This is not only about Ancelotti and Mbappe, still more precisely we judge that the Real Madrid team is almost perfect with the quality of the players they have today, it's just that they are currently lacking in good registration among players as well as the cooperation is still not perfect, real Madrid will go crazy again if the players already have very compact cooperation as before.

The quality of player Madrid has got at this time is and has never been a problem to them, some reshuffling were done after the last season and these players are yet to adjust just perfectly yet and that has brought rise to certain conflicts amongst the players tho not such that is affecting their form or their psychology but some how their positioning and now few cases of injuries added up to the whole situation so it's been a whole lot for Madrid and they are trying to get over it which is obviously not an easy move and they will likely get pass this as they are always known for how well they are able to handle things as this always.
