La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

The inaugural Laliga match has ended and all team have played one match each. And as usual these 5 team are always seeded in Laliga and I think they almost dominate Laliga every season. Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and 2 other team managed to win their first match perfectly

A good season beginning for big clubs but they will have to keep up their good works to stay on top positions. Barcelona and Real Madrid won easily but Atletico Madrid struggled to get three points. I think they are three candidates for La Liga. Valencia and Sevilla will fight for the 4th or 3rd position.

it is a different start to the season than usual in Laliga because Ramos and Messi are not there and they are already one team in Paris.

It is a weir reunite of Messi and Ramos in PSG after 16 years they fight with each other in jerseys of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Unbelievable that they left Real and Barca in a same summer and participate in a same new club, PSG.

The last two matches in round 1 I think the results are disappointing for some bettors how not, Villarreal who are projected to win or at least can score goals but they only drew 0-0. Indeed, for the team itself this draw is certainly not a bad result either, because they still get points from the result but when many people expect a great game because they are the champions of the Europa League and can hold Chelsea to a draw before, then the result 0-0 is like an imperfect result.

Apart from Messi, the Barcelona team is good enough. Maybe they would have been stronger if Messi had been in the team, but they are not a weak team now. They have replaced Aguero with Messi. He is a very good player. Moreover, Depay is talented. But they should have strengthened the defense a bit. Last season we saw Barcelona's weak defense.

They would be weaker in this season. Stronger, in a few more seasons, maybe and I can not imagine a stronger Barcelona than what they had with Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa, Alba. They might be stronger than this season but it is unrealistic to think they will become a strongest team in their history.

If we compare with other teams in La Liga, Barcelona will not be weaker than them. However, compared to Champions League teams such as Manchester City or PSG, no La Liga team now has the ability to win against them. Manchester, Chelsea, and  PSG are increasing their strength as much as possible. But Barcelona and Real Madrid are getting weaker.

I don't argue with your opinion but I don't find the right basis that the quality of Barcelona's players is lower than other teams e.g. Man united, Chelsea and Man city the quality of the players is almost the same even from the selling price. Especially for PSG, yes, it's a team of stars, because they are still free to collect expensive players in one team without any rules like what happened in LaLiga.

You are right in that, PSG reminds me many years ago of what Real Madrid was like, because Real Madrid was the collector of stars, now that Real Madrid has let go of icons like Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, it made it fall in popularity, for Of course, they are behind Haaland, it is the club that has more money in my opinion, and for its part Barcelona also let Messi go, his popularity also decreased enormously.

PSG now has a very powerful team, I think they can win all the titles if they propose, the expectations are very high, and even their own cryptocurrency is rising.

PSG has formed such a squad now, they have the ability to win all the titles. However, in order to win the title, a bond must be formed between the players. Any conflict between the players and the team needs to be resolved. Messi and Ramos were enemies before. They need to establish friendship. If the coach can do all this, then PSG will be a suitable team to win any title.

Real Madrid Isco's future is still uncertain: according to some Spanish press sources the Blancos are reflecting on the possibility of selling the midfielder this summer.
In recent days, the player has also come under the lens of Milan, looking for someone to substitute Hakan Calhanoglu.
Isco should be sold today, given also the fact that the contract expiring in 2022 would see him leave at zero, with consequent damage to the finances of Real.

I say this because the playing strategy of the Premier League teams is a bit different. They play very offensive tactics. Barcelona does not play offensively. It takes experienced defender to resist attack, which Barcelona does not have. They have a bunch of strikers, who are talented. But their midfield and defense are not strong enough. Their win against any team in the Premier League will be very difficult.

I don't know what really going on at Real Madrid at the moment, they just keep selling and dumping players without looking for replacements, if finances are the reason, maybe many other clubs are in even worse financial trouble than Madrid now financially, and even Barcelona. and Inter milan I think they are in worse shape, but Barcelona and Inter Milan are still looking for replacements for their players who go to other clubs.

Right now real madrid are balancing their finances, so they have to sell some players who didn't really have a big contribution to madrid last season, besides that madrid seems to prefer to get a little money than having to release Isco on a free transfer in 2022 later, especially now AC Milan is very interested in signing Isco as a replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu.

Real madrid today is different from real madrid a few seasons ago who were very aggressive in getting players in the transfer market, but the pandemic seems to have caused some clubs to experience financial problems and it's natural that madrid has been quite frugal this season, besides ancelloti seems to have been able to take advantage of the existing players and the proof they can win against alaves.

Real is also looking for new players, no less than Inter and Barcelona, but it's not an easy job to find a worthy player. Haaland Borussia also wanted to sell, but as we can see, the footballer remained in the club and continues to play there. Isco is not the most important player in the club, maybe which is why Real Madrid agree to sell him and find a stronger replacement.

I really appreciated Barcelona's performance in their first match not having Lionel Messi anymore. My expectation from them was that they would have a big difficulty and wouldn't win the match. But it was the opposite that happened. Barcelona really dominated the match and destroyed Real Sociedad 4-2. Actually, Sociedad were one of the good teams of the last season. But now, they couldn't do much against Barcelona.

Even though Messi left, Barcelona still played with their style, yes, I mean their possession of the ball. They had 62% of the ball, while Real Sociedad controlled 38%.

And don't forget our MOTM in this match is Lord Martin Braithwaite with 2 goals

PSG now have a balanced team than Real Madrid after they sold Claude Makelele. PSG don't focus on attacking players like Real Madrid, but they improve their defense system with Wilnaldum, Ramos and Donnarumma.

I think PSG will be very strong in next 2 seasons because Ramos and Messi will be able to play at least 2 or 3 more seasons with their best. Their experience in Champions League will help the team. Donnarumma is young but from what he shown in the Euro 2020, age is not a problem with him.

The departure of Ramos, Messi from La Liga made PSG a star-studded club. Even in my city, in the game rental place there is a meme that it is strictly forbidden to use the PSG team in PES or FIFA football games. Either I myself do not know the impact to this extent.
For now I think Madrid have to think hard in order to beat PSG in the current squad. I prefer PSG to win if they play.

Barcelona are going to play against another tough club like A. Bilbao this weekend. As it is an away game, I don't think that Barcelona will win this very easily. They had a big difficulty in defeating them in the last season even with Messi. I wonder what will happen this time. They started the season really well but it shouldn't be misleading. I think it will be a tough game for Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao is indeed a team that cannot be underestimated, sometimes it can make it difficult for some big teams like Barcelona. For Barcelona
players, hopefully they don't have too much confidence after beating Real Sociedad. Because La Liga still has a long way to go, so many possibilities
can happen. What Barcelona needs now is to play consistently until the end of the season, so Barcelona really have to be careful with whoever is
their opponent.

IMHO every game for Barca, will be tough in the "meta Messi" period. The same difficulty though can go for their opponents because they always focus their strategy on Messi.
In simpler words even if Messi has gone, they still remain Barcelona and they still have quality players and very good youngsters. I believe that if any team makes the mistake to underestimate them because of Messi's departure, will see many times the ball into their net...

Two serious boring draws last night busted me all over.

there is nothing to hold back a total rebuild.

It would be incredible to see how the boys rebuild themselves and then again reach the heights of success. La Liga should be a challenging league and a club with a winning record will help boost their performance. Their starting is nice, and they have good chances of winning the upcoming matches.

Everyone loves a good start but I prefer consistency and that should come in the way we stick to gameplans, formations, and players. Keep scoring, keep attacking, keep the club philosophy.

Of course, winning and titles are the end vision but Barca needed this shakeup a long time ago.

Barcelona will not be that weak after Messi's departure I believe with the existing squad and some of the players who have brought in will bring into a new era that remains a strong team, I do see there are good young players from Barcelona but all of course how the tactics of a coach if they are able to handle every game well then it will be progress for Barcelona and now the start of the season still doesn't see how bad things are after Messi's departure.
I still believe that in LaLiga the strongest team is Barcelona, R. Madrid, A. Madrid who will win one of the LaLiga thrones.

They will get troubles in a few seasons but a sooner departure of Messi, the sooner they will start their new plans. A new future without Messi is not bad if we know Pedri is an oustanding young player and Ansu Fati is not bad at all. I think if Messi stays in Barcelona one more season, it would be better for Ansu Fati and Pedri. They will have less pressure to grow up and carry the team.

I still believe that in LaLiga the strongest team is Barcelona, R. Madrid, A. Madrid who will win one of the LaLiga thrones.

Barcelona are still one of best teams in La Liga but they are not strength enough to win La Liga. Their defense system has never been strong and in recent seasons, their weakness is compromised more by opponents.

Athletic Bilbao will be a difficult away game for Barcelona, ​​I think too. According to many football commentators, Barcelona was seen as a successful game with the game they played in their first match. Even if they lost Messi this year, we can see a Barcelona that can win the Championship. By the way, I wonder how Messi will perform in a match between Paris SG and Barcelona
