La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Avirunes]

And Piqué said that it was unpleasant for him to learn about this from the news.

I think that was Busquets who came out and said that but yeah Barcelona were bit unprofessional there.

Plus, the issue with Lewandowski remains unresolved.

Lewandowski is a complicated one. Both Barca and player want to happen but Lewandowski has one year left on his contract. Bayern expects Lewandowski to fulfill his contract while Lewandowski and Barca expects to respect the player and allow him to leave. So unless Bayern somehow feels like it's time to let Lewandowski go, I don't think this is gonna happen.

I think if we take a quick look at the finances of these two teams, we'll know the difference.
Barcelona had a tough season, their financial situation improved so slowly, without any achievements. The team's finances that did not improve were one of the factors in their declining performance, I think. I wish them a speedy return from a difficult situation.

I think that is not going to end anytime soon neither. We are going to keep seeing the same thing over and over again. It will take a while before we can see Barcelona be debtless, or at least reach to a point where it is not an important debt at all.
Like for example if they ever had 3 million euro debt, would they care? No, when they have 1 billion they would care? Yes. That means there is a number in between where they can have that much debt and be fine. It will take years before they could reach that as well, and the way they are not making any profit, it looks quite difficult for them to pay all of that debt back, and even not grow it because right now it is growing.

I don't see any option for Barcelona how they will be able to get out of that debt. They don't have very good players that can be sold for a huge amount of money and if they do sell them they will eventually have to play with really bad players, to be honest. So I think this problem will take a lot of time to get fixed.

Barcelona need to become successful to make more money to solve their financial problems. This means that they will need to fight hard for the La Liga title and for reaching as good stage as possible in the Champions League at the same time. They are both hard to do tasks for them as they are recovering newly. But the football they played recently has made me excited about their next season performance. I hope they can maintain and improve this level more by next season.

If Barcelona have not yet overcome the financial crisis, it would be foolish for them to buy more strikers next season. The Barcelona forward is now stable. They need to increase the strength of midfield and defense. If he can't strengthen the defense, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win the title next season.

As it stands Barcelona don't look balanced and ready to win the Uefa champions league. The team is still shaky joint with the financial crisis they are facing. They have a good attacking force with Memphis,  Aubameyang, Trore they should focus on adding to the midfield and defence instead. Xavi has brought life back to Barcelona, they were incredible this season they ended on the season on a good note.

Barcelona are currently in debts, although facing financial crisis is really a bad news for the club. Perhaps the team needs to start winning trophies inother to settle their debts. The catalans can not even go for high level players in the transfer window due to their financial instability, but if they do better next season, they will settle some debts. The team is currently working perfect with their performance lately and Barca boss, Xavi will bring new young players to the team this summer.

[Distraction]

It is like Real Madrid and Barcelona are making many transfer attempts only now. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla don't seem like they are aiming to make some significant changes in their lineups. Of course they don't have as much money as Real Madrid have for example. But I think they both also need to improve the weak points of themselves. Otherwise they can't compete very seriously for the La Liga title as long as Real Madrid and Barcelona are this much powerful.

Atletico Madrid and Sevilla may think they already have enough players, they want to focus on improving the mentality and skills of their current players. While Real Madrid and Barcelona don't think their current players are enough to compete for the title in every competition. Especially Real Madrid, there are some players who decide to leave. And Benzema still doesn't have a good substitution. Real Madrid must do many attempts to get a proper player for Benzema's substitution. They also may consider buying some players on the midfield line because Isco left already and Ceballos may leave as well.

Yeah maybe you are right about that. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla both aren't teams that have a main goal like winning the La Liga championship. Barcelona and Real Madrid are overwhelming the league most of the time. I know that Atletico Madrid were the previous champion team but they don't do this very often too. So maybe this could be the reason why they aren't trying to build even a stronger team than Barcelona or Real Madrid. As for Sevilla, they have already been a usual for the third or fourth position. 

[BitcoinAccepted]

Atletico Madrid will certainly be happy with 3rd place, given the circumstances. Of course they had hoped for more, but they can also conclude that a championship has not been possible this year, at any time. Barcelona has recovered very well and will enter the new season with mixed feelings. However, they will then only settle for a championship. Being 2nd in the new season will feel like a defeat, while 2nd place last season should feel like a win. It seemed impossible to finish in 2nd place. Sevilla is fishing everywhere right now.

So unless Bayern somehow feels like it's time to let Lewandowski go, I don't think this is gonna happen.

They will not be able to hope much if indeed the demands made to redeem Lewandowski are agreed and this will only be the same as in the case of Haaland and will be allowed to go if the price is right.
But the problem is that Barcelona are struggling financially so it's complicated. on the other hand at this time it seems that Lewandowski is also being approached by several big EPL clubs which obviously makes Barcelona even more difficult.

I don't know how they will do that, but the game is already tilted against them. Barcelona would need to rebuild by buying new good players, which I think is going to be very hard since their expenditure is limited. Not may players would choose to get to Barcelona and accept a pay cut like Aubameyang did. They would have to rely on their young squad, which takes time to rebuild

Xavi's plan seems like building a squad full of youngsters indeed. Of course they will have experienced players like Aubameyang and maybe Lewandowski too if they manage to sign him. He is investing into their young and promising players especially to have a bright future. As Barcelona's youth setup is very solid they are really lucky about it. They actually started to show a good level of peformance already now as their effort until the end of the season was really great. We don't know if they will keep this up next season too of course but I hope they do.

Just the same, this task is not difficult given that they have recently re-established themselves as a team. They're in form now, and I think they'll do better next time, gaining their strength and using it competently on the pitch. Plus it's summer and there will be transfers, a few transfers will definitely be good and will help the team during the season. The thing about the Champions League is debatable, because you never know what's going to happen there.

They need to increase the strength of midfield and defense. If he can't strengthen the defense, it will be difficult for Barcelona to win the title next season.

Agree, they don't really need a new striker like Lewandowski. They already have Aubameyang, Luuk De Jong, and Memphis Depay, these 3 strikers are more than enough for Barcelona. Barcelona only uses 1 striker in their usual formation, they rarely put 2 strikers on their attacking line. So, what for to sign another striker?    For midfield and defense lines, they also have enough players. They actually just need to improve their quality, not the quantity.

[AakZaki]

Madrid already attempts to buy the player as Benzema substitution and the latest player which aimed by them is Mbappe but unfortunately Mbappe has refuse their offers and renew his contract with PSG and for midfield position i think Ancelotti already thinking about it because most of their midfielder players are getting old so Madrid have to regeneration this position and lately Madrid successfully get potential player who can play in the midfield position Aurelien Tchouameni from AS Monaco so this player in the future is expected as the successor of an old player

Thinking of Mbaape like Benzema seems difficult. I think Benzema's playing style is more of a ball finisher. Benzema became the target of the ball in the penalty area. Mbappe is the creator making him a pure attacker seems to need a long adaptation. Although he was prolific in this season, he scored 28 goals in Ligue 1 in 35 match. Actually I was in awesome of Haaland but he had also gone to Man City. Maybe they can buy Martinez or Gabriel Jesus. Perhaps at this time Anceloti should barani give Luka jovic more playing time.

I think barca is doing a funny trick, they are targeting the host players (new players in the barca squad) like Alonso, Azpilicueta and Lewandowski

I'm not sure if the results that will be obtained by barca will be good (if barca manages to get all three) because the three players above are over 30 years old and deserve to retire lol

I'm curious about the performance that barca will show next season

[lulumiya]

Real Madrid made a big effort to sign Kylian Mbappe but the player himself didn't want to go there after seeing that extraordinary contract offer. Money opens all doors seemingly.    It was obvious that his dream team were Real Madrid but he didn't want to go now because of that. I still want to be hopeful about seeing him playing for Real Madrid in the future but we will see. PSG would have no problem with money so Mbappe will need to make that critical decision at some point considering his career.

[nurilham]

But Real Madrid have allowed Bale to move to another team, because Bale's contract with Real Madrid will expire on June 30, 2022.

Real Madrid is no longer interested to have Bale on their squad, Bale should go as soon as possible. I'm actually a bit surprised to see Bale in Real Madrid squad until his contract expires, he just sits on the bench and didn't do anything. I mean he is a superstar previously, he may have a better career if he wants to leave earlier.

Rumors about Bale will soon join Getafe emerged from the words of Angel Torres who is President of Getafe. Angel Torres said that Bale's agent
offered Bale to join Getafe. But the rumors were soon denied by Jonathan Barnett, Barnett jokingly told Football Espana how he would offer Bale
if he didn't have President Getafe's phone number. And also Bale confirmed that he would never join Getafe.

What Angel Torres did isn't a nice joke. He seemed to mock Bale for not having a future anymore at Real Madrid. If he wants to get the public intention, he can choose another way. It is clear that Bale will never join Getafe, whatever the reason is. I believe he will decide to leave La Liga (Spain), he may go to EPL or Serie A.

[Velvet78]

Gareth Bale is leaving Real Madrid for sure at the end of this month. There is no way Real Madrid are trying to make him stay any longer from now on. He isn't like the old Bale now and Real Madrid want to part ways with him because of that. He is going to be a free agent and I'm wondering what team his next stop will be. I've heard that his wife doesn't want to leave Spain so this can be very effective while he is making his decision. People talked about Getafe too but I don't think that it is realistic. He can still play at a middle-placed team at least.

Despite the disrespectful of being asshole with real madrid contract offer i believe it was tough decision , he might thinking that he could join real madrid at his peak age in the next 4 years or 5 and cannot missed the one time offer from psg that might happened once in his entire life.

I could do the same way as him tho to real madrid.

Fighting hard next season will be difficult especially with some players who now don't want to go back to the same as in the previous season especially in terms of salary reductions. They've lost quite a lot when they gave up half their salary and now they don't want anything like this anymore obviously this will create some controversy again within Barcelona now. In the end this if it continues to be postponed will only become a ticking time bomb now.

Oh, yes, many fans, because of the second place taken by the team in the championship, forget that Barcelona is still in a very difficult financial situation and not only potential transfers of new players, such as the one hotly discussed with the participation of Lewandowski, are under attack, but also transfers of new players that seem to have already taken place. Therefore, there is a situation similar to the one that has happened now, when Frankie de Jong says in an interview that he would like to play in the same club with Lewandowski, when the transfer of Lewandowski is under a big question and under the same big question whether de Jong himself remains in the team.

It is a very unsatisfied end for Mbappe transfer rumor. I never expected that Mbappe prefers money over having a better future in Real Madrid. I bet Mbappe will regret his decision to stay, especially if Real Madrid is no longer interested to sign him. Who knows if there will be another young CF to be a better target in the future. Every footballer has their best time to shine, and there will be a time when a player/footballer has difficulty maintaining their best. And there are always more young players to shine in every new season. I hope Mbappe can maintain his best performance and still has a second chance to move to Real Madrid.

What Mbappe has done is not a happy ending for Real Madrid fans. Yes, it's been a long time since Mbappe has given hope to Real Madrid but in the end, he gave a pretty painful decision just because he prefers to thicken his pockets. I guess it won't be easy to forget this unpleasant moment, so it's likely that there will be no chance to see Mbappe in a Real Madrid uniform.
