La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[BitcoinHunt3r]

I really don't think that spending all that money on a player who is 34 years old is going to be a good decision. Especially when they really need the money. Just think about this, getting this player obviously is going to get them better results but does it ensure them the La Liga title or maybe the Champions League title?

I don't think so and in my opinion, they are going to have a good result even without this player. Maybe if they don't get this player they will finish 4th and if they do get him they will finish second or third.

I think the obstacle is not money because Barcelona revenue is still possible to buy this player but it will burden their financial
especially Barcelona have bought several new players before with a high salary. Indeed, if Barcelona keeps forcing to buying Lewandowski
it means they are gambling because in old age there is no guarantee of Lewandowski performance can be stable.

Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona are some of the teams that have been linked with Raheem Sterling. I don't know if this rumor is justified or if the media is just using it to manipulate the news to get more people to read it. Obviously Barcelona won't be able to pay Manchester City for Sterling, they don't have the money and for a player who's really on their agenda just haven't managed to get it done. Yes, that's Lewandowski.

Regarding Xavi Hernandez's interest in Raheem Sterling, I think it's just a strategy to divert issues to divert attention in the process of getting Lewandowski, because the issue of Lewandowsi to Barcelona has been very hotly discussed lately.

No, I haven't heard much about it. I looked it up and it was just a very weak rumour. It's more likely for Chelsea to get Sterling, so just wait for it.

I also think that the Sterling issue of interest by Xavi Hernandez is not as strong as the Lewandowski issue, even though Sterling has the ability to make big clubs interested in having him.

Barcelona have Ansu Fati who will return to Xavi's squad next season after suffering an injury. Ferran Torres is also very good to match.
The Sterling issue is very appropriate in my opinion as a way to distract the opponent in the transfer process of other players.

I'm a real madrid fan but in my opinion what happened last season that made us win the la liga was that we were very lucky.

To be much stronger than all opponents you call luck? 
Real Madrid had a great season and the fact that other teams was in crisis cannot detract from Real excellent performance and results.

I wonder how can he called himself as a fan of Real Madrid but he thought that the victory by Real Madrid is lucky 
Real Madrid won the victory and championships not only once, it has been many times. Why? because the team really deserves for the trophy. The team has stronger and more solid squad, management, coaches, and also strategy than others. Moreover if we see the statistics. real Madrid performance is always great. 

It will be wrong to say Real Madrid winning doubles last season was all based on luck. They had a difficult group in champions league and the la Liga competition wasn't easy either. Real Madrid is organised and very ambitious. They played every game like their life depended on it, great team work, with a very high winning mentality. The objectives for the season is clear to the players, they understand their task and they know they have to deliver. This is team spirit and team work been put together and they were able to achieve their goals so I give it to them. It was an outstanding performance.

[MonsterV]

In principle, Madrid can also win the double next season. Barcelona and Madrid will normally compete for the league title but also to win the cup. I don't think there is much prestige for winning the cup. Winning the Champions League and winning the championship are much more important. However, we must not forget the classicos and Barcelona has done 1 x hard in Madrid. The fans will of course not have forgotten that.

[Pulsar77]

Barcelona can't sign so many players at the same time. There will always be new rumours about different players but they can't afford all of them in the end. I really miss the times Barcelona weren't having serious financial issues like now. But of course they will get over these hard times in time. Until then they need to go for only the necessary transfers. I don't think that the Sterling transfer is urgent now. Rather than signing him, Lewandowski would be a better choice. They have Aubameyang but they should have two wonderful alternatives as strikers.

[BIT-BENDER]

Guys who else has this feeling that Real Madrid may likely win the Spanish La Liga again next season, we all know that Real Madrid close rivals are Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona but right now Real Madrid has a better team in terms of players, and what still amazes me is that Real Madrid is still the most active amongst them in the market, Real Madrid are not only building a team for the present they are cement a start studded Future and this might keep them top of Spanish football for a long time, I have more love for Barcelona and I would like to see them get busy in the market and hopefully lewandoski can come in.

When discussing last season's El Clasico, indeed we will continue to discuss things like this, especially when there is an El Clasico that will happen in the near future (for example) but things like this don't really have much impact on the course of the game.
Madrid did lose but they were undeniable last season because in this case El Clasico is only a prestige match for Rivals but actually doesn't have much impact on the position table if you look at this season. but hopefully there will be something interesting next season so that the competitive feeling continues to exist here.

[Captain Corporate]

It was a good period for Barcelona when they actually managed to beat most teams, even including Real Madrid who won the league and the UCL during the same season, so scoring 4 on them was a big win for Barcelona and showed potential for the future. However, we need to remember the fact that it was just one game, Barcelona is a great team and Xavi seems to be a great manager and there is no doubt about any of this. But we can't say that they will be better than Real just based on one game. They will have to work really hard for next season and that will be quite a challange for them for sure.

[RealMalatesta]

Barcelona seem to be interested in Raheem Sterling and Jules Kounde both now. They are already chasing the Lewandowski deal for themselves so I wonder how they are planning to afford all of these three players. Because it doesn't seem very realistic to me that they can sign all of them while they are in a financial condition like this. Lewandowski must be their priority now as we have been hearing about him the most recently. As long as they don't sell a player who is worth a lot of money they shouldn't be able to allocate much fund for many transfers.

Xavi Hernandez from the time at Saudi Arabia has sight on Raheem Sterling if he finally becomes Barcelona Coach. Finally this might finally come to conclusion. One fear is that, you will rarely see an English Born player making swoop to Spanish La Liga,when was the last time you saw such a thing ? David Beckham! Right ? Sterling should be looking for a move somewhere else because he will have little game or nothing at all this time in the new season.

I think it is not just about where you are from, but how you could play, I believe that Sterling could have all the talent he needs and all the method he wants to play which will result with him playing well in Barcelona. Sure maybe English players do not bode well in la liga, but how many great English players do you remember in bundesliga? ligue 1? serie a?

English players are getting paid a huge amount in premier league already, so they rarely ever have a feeling of leaving that nation and going to another league. It does happen, but it doesn't happen all that frequently and I believe that sterling could be an exception that could play very well there.

I was very surprised by this statement. I can understand the reasoning about knockout tournaments - there is some role played by randomness (the so-called random variable variance) but not by "luck". But when we talk about a big two-round tournament, the result is 100% fair and logical. And if we take into account the gap between Real Madrid and rivals, then I don’t understand at all what kind of luck we can talk about here.

Even it is early but any result is possible because in last season we have some unusual things happen like Barcelona were in disaster in early half of season and Real Madrid take good advantage of this even Sevilla were in hunt, but sadly they fail and have nothing at the end of season with Barcelona fight back and take second position but now as things are going no one can give prediction about next season Barcelona is having financial problems, but they are still having some exciting players those can bring hard challenge for defending champions, but Real Madrid is also had very competitive squad which can give good performance in all conditions as we watch in last season they complete double which was not expected from them with presence of some very strong teams in European challenge.

As a fan, I always have that feeling every season.  
Yep, Real Madrid is a better team if we consider the players' quality and the strategy made by the coach. I don't underestimate Xavi (Barcelona coach), he is also a good coach but Ancelotti has a better experience and he really can prove it by winning the trophies both in UCL and La Liga. While Simeone, is an experienced coach but he isn't lucky enough to win the UCL trophy and Atletico players seem not in a good form lately.

However, I think it is too early to think Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will miss again the La Liga trophy. They are big teams too, they have the chance to surprise us. I myself don't want to judge them to have no opportunity to compete with Real Madrid for the title.

I'm quite surprised why the big win against Madrid is too exaggerated for them at this time, because I don't think this is a reference even though it does increase their confidence a little but they are now in almost completely new condition including their back line.
We can't really say that the victory in El Clasico gives a high enough prestige to the team that wins there but this is not a guarantee so it doesn't need to be exaggerated because indeed they are also after the victory in El Clasico are still not stable if you see this season ended even in 2 the last game at the end of the season they had 1 draw and 1 loss.

I think for at least two more seasons he will perform at his current level, and then you can think about ending his career. Especially when you come to a club like this you just have to show a good game and I am sure Robert understands that and will do everything to keep the bar high. Also, he may not be going to Barcelona

Kind of three times luck in champions league i guess ...

Against chelsea they did a great illogical comeback with benzema as a hero .. so do against psg and manchester city. So much luck factor there tbh.
In la liga , the biggest rival .. barcelona suffered a heavy financial problem and didn't play 100% of their power due those chaotic internal matter , it's like real madrid being in farmer league such as ligue 1 last season.
No hate. Just my honest opinion. Peace out

Compared to other La Liga teams, of course, Real Madrid's performance is much better, so Real Madrid really deserves to win a trophy. So it is
very strange to say that Real Madrid can win the La Liga trophy this season because of luck. Real Madrid's appearance this season can be said
to be quite consistent, even the difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is in second place, is quite far. This means that
Real Madrid really deserves to be the winner of the La Liga trophy, especially since Benzema's performance this season has been extraordinary
and consistent. It has helped Real Madrid to win a lot games in La Liga, so for me Real Madrid have played really well this season.

That's it.
Real Madrid plays greatly not only this season and not only in La Liga but this team always plays optimally and amazingly every season, moreover Real Madrid can win La Liga and UCL several times. This really proves that Real Madrid is a big, strong, and great team, not a team with luck cases only.
Just really can't think why people still say that Real Madrid's victory is lucky 
Do they consider that Real Madrid is a small club? 

I think it's still less interesting, especially when discussing these two teams.

I miss how Real Madrid and Barcelona competition so tight few years ago, the big match of El Classico where the two teams really put their best efforts and team to win each other.

Also, he may not be going to Barcelona

Although Lewandowski is not young anymore, but he is among the best strikers in the world, I believe Lewandowski can still play for 2-3 more
seasons. If Barcelona get Lewandowski of course it's a positive thing, and also I'm sure Lewandowski will try his best and make a big contribution.
There is no guarantee that Lewandowski will be as successful at Barcelona as he was when he played for Bayern. But usually older players can adapt
quickly, so it's very likely that if it's true Barcelona will bring in Lewandowski, then I believe Lewandowski can adapt soon. I really hope Lewandowski
moves to Barcelona soon, because now Lewandowski has said he is not interested in playing longer for Bayern. So Bayern should immediately
release Lewandowski, if indeed Lewandowski is not happy playing at Bayern, there's no point in holding back an already unhappy player.
Because it will definitely affect his performance, after all Bayern have got Sadio Mane, so there is no problem if Bayern have to lose Lewandowski.

I'm not surprised because I know they are Barcelona fans. Since Barcelona didn't win any title, they can only exaggerate that winning against Real Madrid.
Well, one win against Real Madrid surely cannot prove that Barcelona is a better or stronger team. If Barcelona is a stronger team, they must win the Europa League title at least. In reality, they even were defeated by a smaller team (Frankfurt). In addition, Real Madrid may play not in their best form in that El Classico, so we cannot determine which one is stronger based on 1 match only.

Maybe if they don't get this player they will finish 4th and if they do get him they will finish second or third.

Actually, I think that the Barcelona management and Xavi Hernandez himself are realists and understand perfectly well that signing one player, even at the level of Robert Lewandowski, will not automatically bring the title of the winner of La Liga and the tutul of the winner of the Champions League. I do not agree that Lewandowski will not benefit the club, because in my opinion the style of the Spanish championship should suit the striker and he should painlessly join the Barcelona squad. I also think that Lewandowski will bring more stability to the team composition and results precisely because of his age and experience. Another question, there are certain doubts about the funds spent precisely because of the plight of Barcelona.

Yes you are right, at the moment he can still show his best game for at least two more seasons. Of course, this time of maturity will be used to help them win a title that has been difficult for them for several seasons. Of course the coach will not arbitrarily recruit players if the player is judged to be unable to contribute.
