La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Luzin]

What an own goal for Atletico to clinch at least one point. If you have not seen it yet, watch it asap, one of the best own goals I have ever seen.

Look how sorry they are. They only had a few seconds to play the ball, but the slight lack of communication between Aissa Mandi and goalkeeper Rulli left everyone disappointed. Yes that is in football any number of minutes remaining anything can happen. Congratulations Atletico you did not lose this match. You are very lucky because Villareal made a small but fatal mistake. This made the sad Atlético supporters happy when the goal happened.

Barcelona match against Gefate was an interesting one. Barcelona scored 2 minutes into the match, but Gefate equalize the match with a smart goal 16 minutes after the Barca scored. Only for Delay to scored 30 minutes in the first half, and the first half ended with 3 goals. Although, the second half was goalless. I expected Barcelona to score 3 to 4 goals in the match, but anyway they performance was impressive, and they also dominated the match with 67% ball possession. They now have 7 points and currently at the 4th position.

A tough match for Atletico and they got 1 point with that fatal mistake from Mandi. Suarez is still important for Atletico Madrid in this season. One goal in this match and the first goal in this season for Suarez. Messi left La Liga so in this season, Suarez will compete with Benzema for the Pichichi trophy in La Liga.

It's the unbelievable og goal from Villareal, at very last minute. Terrible mistake.

High-scoring, high booking points, indeed, La Liga is really back. Nice to see Suarez on scoresheet again, but they got seriously lucky with the own goal to rescue one point!

@slaman29 Real Madrid really needs some urgent transfers, otherwise they’ll lose the league before it even begins. Also if you’ll consider this game tough for Real Madrid then we might as well bet on Barcelona or Athletico to win the league title. Lastly I’m sincerely hoping that they’ll improve soon, or Carlo may not even last one full season at the club.

Save your money and don't bet on Barca. I already did but I feel like it's a wasted one. Atletico look like they might have the squad to pull it off if they find out how to keep Suarez and Correa injury free the whole season, but they could also be distracted by Champions League who knows.

It's amazing how Villarreal in the match against Atletico made only two hits and scored two goals, while the Atletico almost the entire game besieged the gate of Villarreal and could barely play into a draw. Although this is probably more the merit of Villarreal, that they were able to realize 100% of their chances in this match. But the defense did not play properly and conceded twice in this match. So far, for me, Atletico and Real Madrid are two of the most obvious contenders for the championship, we'll see how they play further.

Atletico deserved at least that point and probably all 3 yesterday but I don't feel sorry for them since that is the way they won most of the points against better opponents in the past. Karma 

An unlucky own goal for Villareal but was lucky goal for Atletico Madrid because it gave them 1 point. An own goal in the last minutes when most players has lost most of their concentration. Atl Madrid dominated the goal attempts but Villareal were more effective with the goal attempts.

Atletico Madrid had more than 20 goal attempts, 4 on goals but they scored 1 goal only. Villareal scored 2 goals from 2 attempts. Ball possession was close enough so I have to say both team deserve the 1 point or Villareal deserve to get 3 points.

Atletico Madrid barely secured one point in a game which they were highly dominant. Villarreal were on their lucky day that's for sure. Because they got only 2 shots and each of them ended up with a goal. Atletico Madrid were nearly losing the game if it wasn't for the last minute goal (90+4). But I'm sure that they are not pleased with this result.

We can call it a crazy match  I'm not watching this match, just looking at the statistics really surprised Villarreal had only 2 shots and it all went to goal
Why is it so difficult for Atletico Madrid to score  is this a ''game within a game''?  I hope not. Now Real madrid at the top even though they were unseeded before
i smell a lot of drama in this league let's wait.

If I have seen any "football manager" stats before, this one is one of the best ones. I always have these type of games in the game, have like 20 shots with 4-5 on goal and score zero, then opponent has 1 shot on goal which is scored and I lose the game. ATM is lucky to not get beaten honestly because sometimes life is that unlucky. In the short sense, this is what football is about, you can try to score as much as you can and be a lot better than your opponent but two lucky possessions and your opponent will be beating you instead.

This is why I believe that we should definitely enjoy the game. Plus I am shocked that after 3 games there is no team in the league with 9 points, nobody in the whole league had 3 wins in a row, everyone had at least one tie and that is great for the race but it is too early on to say anything just yet, anything could happen.

The first half was the turning point for atletico they dominated the half in both possesion and created chances and in the second half unai emre was smart and he changed the defensive strategy which almost payed out if it wasnt for those defensive mistake from villareal players still all the contenders for the title seem really close in performance so it will be interesting.

[judas]

Atletico Madrid - Villarreal game was just something else to be honest. I was expecting quite tough and boring game here. However, thanks to Villarreal we watched a great game. The statistics of the game was just insane. Atletico Madrid were able to find the target only 4 times in their 23 shots in total. On the other hand, Villarreal got only 2 shots and both of them ended up with goals.    It is obvious that they were really on their lucky day.  But I must admit that they did a great job by making use of the rare goal chances. Atletico Madrid should have played better than this. They were nearly losing the match if it wasn't for the last minute goal.

Not necessarily a striker of course, CAM would be fine too. In a few words, Karim just needs to find a player with whom he would play perfectly, but so far there is no such apparently, and he plays well in principle in fact, I think that still he will find his ideal partner. It's like when Messi had Neymar and Suarez. It was a perfect trio that constantly scored and gave passes to each other.

CAM would be fine, but a striker would be even better, they basically need someone who can score without needing a specific position to be honest, it could be wingers as well. As long as they get someone who is great at scoring they will be fine and that is a very important part of the pitch as well, scoring goals are the main bread and butter of any team and when you are lacking this much it is not good.

Instead of offering 180 million for Mbappe and getting rejected which is obvious that PSG is not willing to sell, just get Haaland for 180 million because they can, and then use next off-season to convince Mbappe to come for free as well. If they can do that, next year they will have both Haaland and Mbappe on the same team, that is the most goal scoring duo there could ever be in today's game, and they could also get one more defender, next season they could become the best team in the world with this.

Yes, it seems to me that they give a lot for Mbappe. He wouldn't have played the same way as Karim, because he is just coming into the team, there is no chemistry with the other players yet. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but if you buy Mbappe, for much less, or for free next season (which will be if Real will not change his mind). In any case he will not score as much as he did at PSG, another level, there are less serious rivals in La Liga.
As for Haaland, I agree with you, they both can be a very good pair of goal scorers, I thought for some reason that he will move this season

Real Madrid are still unable to sign Kylian Mbappe even though they offered around 200 million euros for him. I don't understand why PSG don't even say anything about it. It is really a big disgrace. I really wanted to see Mbappe at Real Madrid but it doesn't seem like this transfer will come true at least this summer. But as of January, Real Madrid will be able to sign him without paying a transfer fee. They should just be patient as Mbappe wants to go there for certain.

There is no other reason so far than PSG who are still determined to keep him at least for this season. The arrival of Messi will increase their chances of winning the Champions League title this season which they have always craved. I know that PSG's decision not to sell Mbappe will be risky because his contract is up. But it will be very unlikely for PSG to release their flagship player to another team for free. PSG will offer Mbappe a longer contract and seal him from being a free transfer.

This unfortunate fact made Atlético have this victory, but I think that Atlético fought a lot and could not, the good thing is that luck was in their favor, this makes me think that Atlético is going through a moment in which all Los Players must believe that they no longer have anything to do with winning, Real Madrid wants to sign Mbappé, and from what I have seen, the absence of Messi has hit him, without a doubt Messi has left them many holes that are difficult to overcome, now Atlético can win the Spanish League if Atlético continues as it is.

The La league this season seems to be quite competitive, because of the several matches that have occurred in the La league, many small teams  such as Levante, Villareal and Getafe have even troubled big teams.
Although in that match Atletico Madrid dominated the game, but in my opinion their attacks were less effective and too many opportunities wasted, in contrast to Villareal, they seemed to be able to see the gaps that existed to score goals even though they had few chances, I think Atletico Madrid only got lucky with an own goal so the match ended in a draw.

The secret is PSG still keep silent after that increasing offer from Real Madrid. They did not say they reject it, just keep silent. It can be a silent signal that they don't want to bargain the transfer price with Real Madrid because as announced, they don't want to sell Mbappe. Let's count down a few more hours and see how this transfer drama ends.

Very last hours till the close of summer transfer and PSG still try to keep Mbappe. Do they really believe that they can change the mind of Mbappe and renew a contract successfully?

I think PSG do know that they will lose Mbappe without transfer fee if they fail to convince him to renew a contract in the next few months. They are gambling and taking risk. It means how important Mbappe is in their development plan.

I hope that PSG's silence is a positive signal for this transfer. Because I really want him to be transferred by Real Madrid from now on. Before anything else, Mbappe wants to play at Real Madrid from now on. Yeah, he is still playing great at PSG. And I have no doubt he will still show his best performance if he stays for more time. But it is the right way to do for the benefit of both sides.

Actually, it's pretty common in football these days, and that's almost how Atletico used to always win their own games. 30% possession. Counters. 3 strikes and 3 goals, that sort of thing.

Which is why Trofo was so surprised they even busted the Blackjack with 14 corners to nil and over 10 shots on goal!

Honestly I'm surprised you think Villarreal is a small team, even though I've been considering Villarreal a big team since the era of Juan Riquelme at that time, even though at that time I was too young to be an observer. Although indeed, Villarreal does not have many achievements but in my view an achievement cannot be used as a benchmark for the team, big or small, at least with the team being able to finish in the top ranks every season then these teams are good teams and cannot is said to be a small team. Also, Villarreal just won the Europa League title last season so it's no wonder why in yesterday's game against Atletico Madrid it was very difficult to score and even Atletico almost lost, for me it's not a surprising result either because at the moment the situation is the same and they are in at the same level.

I also don't think that Villarreal are a small club in the La Liga. First of all, they won the Europa League title even against Manchester United and they are in the Champions League group stage now. Yeah like you said, maybe they don't have many very impressive achievements so far. But I really appreciated their performance in the last season. They were struggling against Atletico in this game but they still benefited from their few chances perfectly. I think that they deserve the respect.

[Luzin]

It's the unbelievable og goal from Villareal, at very last minute. Terrible mistake.

It all happened, I think it was very painful for Villareal. But they were lucky enough to hold their own against Atletico Madrid. Villareal is a big club they deserve to be in the top flight, especially last season they won the Europa League. Madrid and Barcelona must be wary of Villareal, maybe they can lose. Next they will face Atalanta in the UCL group stage.
