La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Lordhermes]

After all, in my opinion, why is PSG holding back a player whose heart is no longer at PSG?. Even though he plays for PSG, it is possible that Mbappe will not play wholeheartedly.

Mbappe want to win Champions League and Ballon Dor so he won't feel happy at PSG. Even the club is one of the best in the Euro now, he still want to join Real Madrid, the biggest club ever in Champions League history.

Every star player wants the Champions League trophy and also the Ballon D'or. Therefore Mbappe prefers Real Madrid which does have a history of
being the team that has won the most Champions League trophies, while PSG have never once won the Champions League trophy. It seems that PSG's
failure in the Champions League final yesterday made Mbappe disappointed and decided to leave PSG. Even though PSG are very serious about improving
their squad by bringing in lots of star players to be able to win the Champions League trophy, but that doesn't seem to be able to convince Mbappe to
stay at PSG. 

If you look at it from that perspective, Mbappe can also become world player of the year if he stays with PSG. Because if they then win the CL trophy and he plays a big role, maybe becomes top scorer in the CL and in the Ligue 1, I am sure he has good chances for the Ballon D'or. Right now I don't see Real Madrid having bigger chances to winning the CL than PSG to be honest. The quality of the team is doubtful to me, hard to judge, but if I had to judge it I would say no, definitely not one of the favorites.

The reasons he wants to go Real Madrid is best known to him,because he knows fully well that as it stands,PSG are in full capacity than Madrid and that's why I think something is attracting Mbape to Real Madrid.Or he thinks if he's there,he can compete with Messi again.Lets all just wait and see where he ends up.

Actually I agree that for now Real Madrid's performance is still inferior to PSG, but Real Madrid are also improving at the moment. Real Madrid don't
just want to sign a few star players, but Real Madrid have also changed their coach. So there is a possibility that Real Madrid's appearance will
increase in the 2020/2021 season, in conclusion both PSG and Real Madrid are improving their squads. But Mbappe decided to move, the real reason
we also don't know, only Mbappe himself knows. But the reason is not because of money, because if Mbappe is willing to extend the contract he can
ask for a raise. But the evidence is that he refused to negotiate a contract extension with PSG, meaning there is a strong reason behind the rejection.

You are right that they are working on it at full speed, but do you think they will come up with at least two superstars apart from Alaba? I don't see that coming yet. Ancelotti is no magician, even Zidane performed quite badly during the last season. If they get Mbappe plus another real superstar, I might change my mind. If that doesn't happen I don't see them competing for the champions league title. They may win La Liga because Barcelona is also only so so, but beyond that it is going to be rough again for them.

or it will be a repeat of last season.

Looking at the signs of the madrid management movement, maybe this could happen. Without new players in the right positions, many players are approaching retirement and old age. If it's still like this, maybe many people are pessimistic about Madrid's results next season. Even though they have a new coach, the old players find it difficult to compete.

[blackened515]

As the new season is getting close, I wonder what kind of a start we will see. Atletico Madrid had a great season and won the title in the last season. But in this season, things may become quite different. I expect a higher competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid this time. I guess that Atletico won't succeed in winning the title 2 times in a row. This time, I expect a big competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.

Atletico Madrid had a strong squad last season, which was also what made them win the trophy last season. But this season, there will definitely be a high competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid, And Atletico needs a stronger squad, if only they want to be in the top 4 this new season. Atletico might also win the La Liga trophy this season, this is football, any thing can happen.

[kassex]

Madrid became favorites to get the title this season. managed by Ancelotti, and Alaba wil join them will makes madrid more stronger i think. Barcelona maybe still struggling next season, and I don't think they can get the title. they are moving slowly on current transfer window, but they are still lucky since some of players agree to decreased his salaries.

It's certain that Ramos is gone, Alaba might come. But Alaba is a left-back. Then if Varane leaves Madrid it will be even more difficult. Of course he will be with Anceloti, but if it is true that there is no shopping for new players it is like a nightmare. Next season will probably be boring. Because until now they have not made a move to openly buy players. For barca I heard that Grizeman will be swapped for athletico midfielder Saul Niguez. Well I'm still waiting for fresh news from Madrid for next season.

Alaba can play in three positions. left back, central defense and holding midfielder Perez has already stated that there will be no major purchases this summer. Real Madrid will do its best to cut costs. We will see new transfers no earlier than summer 2022.

I guess that Atletico won't succeed in winning the title 2 times in a row. This time, I expect a big competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.

Barcelona can but Real Madrid can not. Real will need two or three seasons to come back. They will begin the new season as same as what Barcelona did in the last season.

Barcelona will see the best Messi, mentally after he won the Coppa America and returns to the club with best mood ever and a new long- contract. No drama, better mood and full dedication to Barcelona from Messi.

Atletico Madrid had a strong squad last season, which was also what made them win the trophy last season. But this season, there will definitely be a high competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid, And Atletico needs a stronger squad, if only they want to be in the top 4 this new season. Atletico might also win the La Liga trophy this season, this is football, any thing can happen.

Atletico will be more competitive than the last season if Joao Felix can grow up and show his best. This will be the third season in La Liga for Joao Felix. He did not play too bad but he does not satisfy the expectation of the club and fans.

He can do better and let see how Joao will combine with Suarez in a new season. If the combination is better, Atletico Madrid can win another La Liga. Only Barcelona will be able to compete with them I think.

Real Madrid will have to fight and protect a position in top four.

[masulum]

I don't think Real Madrid will be the best candidate for La Liga trophy. They still rely too much on old players: Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Marcelo. Those players shown well in the season 2020 - 2021 but I don't know they will be able to play as good as that in the new season.
Alaba need time to connect with other defenders and if Varane leaves the club, Alaba can not fix that hole.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid look to be better candidates and I think Barcelona will be improved more in the second season of Koeman and with some good transfers.

indeed, the current squad is very much different from the ancelotti squad in the past. But, I still have a pretty strong belief in Madrid next season. For Atletico, I don't forget them, and they are still have a chance to maintain their results as better as last season.

Not only Barcelona, but all the teams in La Liga will also be struggling. We cannot assume Barcelona to have no chance for the title just because they have less activity in the current transfer window. It is in the pandemic, most football clubs may have a bit problem in financial. Even Real Madrid is also rather slow moving in this transfer window.

Barcelona's condition is still very bad IMO, that's why I don't really think about Barcelona to be champions, because the current Barcelona players are not so different from last season. If Koeman can change the style of barca's game according to his strategy, it could be that what I mentioned is wrong. But, if they are still the same as at the end of last season, that's what makes me believe that Barcelona are less favorites compared to Madrid and Atletico.

[CLS63]

According to AS, Manchester Utd are really close to ending Varane deal in a few days successfully. The player is already very keen on going there. Real Madrid should start looking for strong defenders already now. If they don't make the necessary transfers, they may have big problems on winning the league title. By saying necessary transfers, I mean a CB and a top CF.

The signs were showing for a while, and I've to say, even for Barcelona the signs were quite loud. Money has always been the thing pushing these two big La Liga teams and I don't feel awkward to admit that even as a supporter but eventually something had to break and Corona just pushed it to the brink faster than we all thought.

Time to see the new teams with solid foundations rise, and let the giants learn their lessons.

If under the pressure of a pandemic the giants are capable of breaking down, then what will happen to the clubs that do not have such big finances? I do not think that someone else will be able to fight for the championship in the Spanish championship, except for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

[ILuckyGuyI]

They are under the risk of losing Varane.

I am sure Varane won't move to any clubs.
Sergi Ramos has left, they won't let Varane to leave. Except Real Madrid has signed another strong Central Defender, Varane should stay in the squad in the next season.

For now, they need a top striker the most not to depend only on Benzema.

I assume a top striker will come soon.
The most speculation is a new striker will be Mbappe. I hope it will be true.  

I've heard that Manchester Utd have agreed personal terms with him. If they make it official also, it's not going to be very good for Real Madrid. Their defense line will weaken and they will have to make up for that by signing a good defender. Even if Varane doesn't go now, he has only one year left on his contract now. If Real Madrid don't manage to extend his contract, they will lose him still.

I'd really like to see Mbappe at Real Madrid. He's been also waiting for the moment to be signed by them. But PSG are a really big hindrance right now. They don't want to lose their best player now. And they seem as ready to do everything not to lose him. Let's wait and see what's going to happen.

[ShowOff]

As a Madrid fan, I also support Real Madrid to get the title in the next season. Ancelotti may bring good impacts for Real Madrid squad, his track record as Real Madrid coach is quite good. But it should depend on many factors, the solidity of the team in playing and the health of the players throughout the season, will have a big role.

I'm sure Anceloti will make a good impact for Real Madrid in the 2021-2022 season because his experience as a coach is already proven. Compared to Koeman at Barcelona, ​​I have more faith in the potential of the team Anceloti coached to win title. But it will never be easy because either Real Madrid or Barcelona and all the other teams keep trying to win the title at the end of the season.

Not only Barcelona, but all the teams in La Liga will also be struggling. We cannot assume Barcelona to have no chance for the title just because they have less activity in the current transfer window. It is in the pandemic, most football clubs may have a bit problem in financial. Even Real Madrid is also rather slow moving in this transfer window.

Agree with you but not all team will be favorite because I just think the big 3 team will continue to be favorite regardless of who the coach is and they are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Barcelona have made several signing during the transfer window and it looks like Madrid are the same. In the end, Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been enemies on the pitch.

[mv1986]

They are under the risk of losing Varane.

From what I can see from reading the news, it looks like they are very close to getting the deal done for Varane and Manchester United. I think Manchester United can play a decent role and they are a bit more attractive again than in the years before when they really were only an average team. Now they have a relatively good balance in the team and if they can sign three or four good players, they'll well be able to compete in the coming season.

But in this season, things may become quite different. I expect a higher competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid this time. I guess that Atletico won't succeed in winning the title 2 times in a row. This time, I expect a big competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title.

I think this will be a battle between Atl Madrid and Barcelona and maybe even Sevilla this season. Real Madrid is really week this season and i dont think they can compete for the current title. They need to get a few more good players if they want to win the title

Maybe it will be like that. But we don't even know whether Barcelona will be able to sign Messi again. They are still in a bad financial condition and they have to sell some players to increase their budget. Then, they can finish this. Messi doesn't seem like he's in a rush. If we see a Barcelona without Messi this season, I don't give much chance for Barcelona when it comes to the title then.

[BIT-BENDER]

Real madrid may have lost one of my most respected defender, well I don't respect him only on the pitch but the work he puts in the gym, but they have got one of my favorite player who doesn't age, alaba, I want barcelona to win ever la liga title always but I don't think real madrid is finished just yet and am exclusive sure athletico Madrid won't be champions again so La Liga title as it's has been for very numerous season will be all barcelona and Real madrid.

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona's condition is still very bad IMO, that's why I don't really think about Barcelona to be champions, because the current Barcelona players are not so different from last season.

But for the attacking line, they have two new players (CF), Aguero and Depay. If these new players can show their best performance, I think Barcelona can be more offensive this season. This can make Barcelona be stronger because the opposite teams only focus on defending during the match and hard to go to Barcelona defense line. However, it also surely depends on how Koeman can make a proper strategy and give motivation among players. Good players cannot bring good result if the coach decides bad playing strategy.

A very good and respectable player Ramos is but has left Real Madrid, leaving an irreplaceable vacuum in the team.Alaba is brought in to replace him,but the impact Ramos used to have on the pitch,I doubt if Alaba could have that kind of impact.If care is not taking,Real Madrid might strougle with the backline next season.

Real Madrid will not be able to replace Ramos with any player. Ramos is not only a defender, other players are mentally strong when he is on the team. So replacing someone like him is by no means possible, moreover he is an extraordinary defender. Alaba is a talented player, but he is not like Ramos.

If it's still like this, maybe many people are pessimistic about Madrid's results next season. Even though they have a new coach, the old players find it difficult to compete.

This is really what has me worried, it should be noted that Real Madrid is my favorite team in the Spanish League and that the fact that now it has these types of problems is something that is rare, I do not know if they will resort to the players trained from the quarry, but it is necessary that they quickly make a good substitution, many stars are in other teams, and Real Madrid by nature has always had a lot of money to buy any player, this time they left Sergio Ramos, with a new coach I imagine they will ask him for the best of the advice to buy, I do not think that Real Madrid will lower its level now that it has almost no new players but veterans.
