La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[el kaka22]

Bayern shouldn't want Lewandowski to leave at any point, he should retire there. I mean Benzema brought UCL to Real Madrid at age 35, if he can do that, Lewa could very well. Dude scored like 40+ goals a year again this year, and why would you want to send away a player that scored that much?

I am not saying that they would be terrible if he left, they would still be Bayern, but it just doesn't make sense. Same would apply to Barcelona, they have enough players and getting a superstar would be the most idiotic thing to do when they are in debt. I never found any merit in this transfer idea, and I believe that we shouldn't really expect much from them in general. This deal will fall through and never happen.

Barcelona is working hard to have a strong squad with formidable attack and will be a threat to every defense in the league. Having this Raphinha and Dembele in the team, it will be really difficult to defend against Barcelona. Raphinha coming in as a backup for Dembele will create competition in that right wing and will make both of the players  who gets the opportunity to play any game to give in his best to keep the spot as the starter.

Barcelona has financial problems. However, Bayern Munich do not want Lewandowski to leave the team now. And even if Barcelona has money, though Barcelona will not be able to sign Lewandowski this season without the consent of Bayern Munich. However, I think Barcelona will continue to try to raise funds.

Their hope of getting money from the sale of De Jong seems difficult. To this day there is no agreement between Man United and Barcelona. I think if De Jong leaves, then Barcelona will have a lot of money to buy Lewandoski. I think Munchen just doesn't match the bid price from Barcelona. So that he will not leave from Munchen. But remember his contract is only until 2023. Maybe Munchen can take it off in winter, but it seems to be a disadvantage. The arrival of Mane I think is already a signal that in fact Munchen wants to sell him.

Barcelona would have had a lot of money from the sale of De Jong and De Jong's departure could ease the cost of the salary bill by up to €30 million, but Barcelona instead took a policy that went against the grain. De Jong is still very much needed in the squad, but Barcelona also need money to buy other players.
Barcelona have always been linked with Lewandowski, but they didn't have enough money to sign him. Bayern Munich always rejects offers from Barcelona because they are considered not in accordance with Lewandowski qualities. Barcelona should stop chasing Lewandowski, at least until his contract ends with Bayern Munich, after which Barcelona can sign him on a free transfer.

[emrecemsan]

It really makes me wonder why Barcelona are willing to spend that much on a kind of player they don't urgently need at the moment, yet they are already drowning in debts. They also don't seem to show any signs of offloading players that maybe redundant during the course of next season.  Let's see how thing go, but at some point I really thought Chelsea had a good chance of singing him.

Actually it can be seen as an urgent transfer because they didn't have any right winger in the team before this signing. Dembele deal hasn't still become official so signing Raphinha is good for them to secure their right wing. Dembele is also coming soon and this will be enough for that position. Chelsea were really close some time ago but after Barcelona intervened Raphinha also changed his mind and wanted to join Barcelona.

does barcelona need to win some prize for always signing players that won't be so useful, why don't they focus on getting Lewandowski? one of the biggest cancers of barcelona is in the matter of having certain former managers of barcelona with very retarded and sick opinions, for example Lluís Bassat who ran to be president of barcelona years ago said that he would not hire Lewandowski because he says that Lewandowski he's 34 years old so he's already old, honestly it's because of that kind of thinking that barcelona fell so much to the point of becoming a shit team and to make matters worse they started to put players in very unproductive games. I hope they know which players must be priority or else they won't be able to win la liga

I really don't know why they aren't fighting for Lewandowski now. Maybe it is related to Bayern Munich's rejecting their three offers.

True, they are Real Madrid's future players and during this time Ancelotti is a coach who can handle these two players very well. Last season Vinicius and Rodrygo were both players who helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and Laliga, they are important players and this season I am sure they will be even better.

Benzema will not last much longer at Real Madrid and he will soon be heading towards the end of his career. He is not young anymore to play at a high level, but his experience can still be a guide for his juniors like Rodrygo and Vinicius.

Vinicius and Rodrygo were very important players for Real Madrid last season because their great contribution in Real Madrid's front line was able to bring Real Madrid to the Champions League trophy. in the next season these two players will be players who are highly regarded by their opponents because their performance development continues to improve in every match.

Well, is Barcelona able to provide fierce competition in the title race next season where Barcelona has officially got Raphinha, surely Barcelona will be stronger next season.

Xavi Hernandez plays a crucial role for the Spanish La Liga giants, Barcelona in bringing in new players in the summer transfer market in order to reshuffle their strength ahead of the 2022/2023 season, even though there was bad news after it was claimed that Barcelona was having financial issues prior to the transfer market opening.
Barcelona is still striving to attract outstanding players in current summer market despite the unfortunate financial situation, They have already signed costly Raphinha from Leeds and Danish defenders Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie from AC Milan for free.

After going through a downturn in the middle of the previous campaign, Xavi Barca's period has much improved. The team is now getting ready for the upcoming season with new players to challenge Spanish La Liga title Real Madrid.

[Alanaz]

I don't think it's a bad sign for Real Madrid even though Barcelona have started to improve their line-up this summer, because Real Madrid will still be in the domination of the title race next season although I don't see any new players being bought by Real Madrid now. But in general Real Madrid can still compete with existing players although it would be better if Real Madrid could buy some new players at this time to be placed into their line of players next season.

At least in this case there is hope for competitive problems there because indeed Barcelona too, even though they still have many problems, but with the arrival of new players there will make their game definitely better, especially at this time Xavi is in talks because he managed to bring Barcelona from death last season.

Raphinha coming in as a backup for Dembele will create competition in that right wing and will make both of the players  who gets the opportunity to play any game to give in his best to keep the spot as the starter.  

I don't know whether Rapinha will make a lot of difference or not for Barcelona next season, but what is certain is that Barcelona must be able to make their squad better at this time if they want to continue to compete with Madrid in La Liga, there are many lines that Barcelona should be able to strengthen rather than focus on to recruit the current winger, I think defense should be the main focus of barcelona, ​​indeed they have got Christensen from chelsea but he will not be enough to be a solid defensive wall after barcelona lost several senior defenders this season.

Barcelona is going to be something else for having raphinha and Dembele, with this set of players Barcelona defense will be so excellent,  Barcelona will be very tough next season that it will be even a big threat to tough to other tough teams we have in the league.  I'm really fancying the way Barcelona is building the squad to be so tough, so many trophies to win waiting for Barcelona next season.

Chelsea are trying to retaliate after Barcelona have completed the signing of Raphinha. Chelsea's plan is to steal Lewandowski from them by reaching an agreement with Bayern Munich somehow. However it is going to be too hard for them like it has been for Barcelona. Bayern Munich have rejected three offers so far for Lewandowski. I wonder what Chelsea are thinking of to be able to convince them. If Barcelona also reach an agreement then I don't think Chelsea would stand a chance because Lewandowski's intention is to play for Barcelona.

It is too early to claim Barcelona will be very tough and seems to win many trophies. Although they succeed in signing some top players, it doesn't guarantee they will get a better achievement in the next season. We even don't see how Barcelona plays with their current squad. New players sometimes need time to adapt to their new teammates. It won't be easy or instantly to perform at their best level. I know Raphinha and Dembele are good right-wingers, but they can't guarantee a trophy. Let's see how these players show their performance.

[Furious 7]

The problem is, Bayern Munich are trying to strengthen their squad this season. And they are recruiting a lot of talented players, spending a lot of money. Because their main goal is next season's Champions League. And now if Lewandowski leaves the team, Bayern Munich will not be able to fill this gap at the moment. And so they want to keep Lewandowski in the team. And so if Barcelona wants to get Lewandowski in the team, they have to pay the high price demanded by Bayern Munich.

In this case I see no such thing.
Bayern have indeed strengthened their players on various fronts but if we look at the previous transfers regarding Mane, this is intended to provide rotation especially there are rumors that are still different it is likely that Lewa will leave so there needs to be a replacement there.
On the other hand for De Ligt they also have things they want to do because last season they were strong but they always conceded in defense.

I admit that Barcelona are very serious about strengthening their squad, but like you said there is no guarantee Barcelona will achieve success
in the next season. Because Xavi has to make Barcelona players work well together and especially new players can quickly adapt to Barcelona's
game. Achieving success can't be instant, it doesn't mean that Barcelona brings in many quality new players, so Barcelona will easily win trophies.
Xavi has a lot to do to make Barcelona play much better, don't forget Real Madrid as the strongest competitor to bring in new players too,
although not as much as Barcelona. But at least Real Madrid are more mentally prepared, let alone Real Madrid managed to achieve success in 2022,
it will motivate Real Madrid players to achieve the same success in the following season. So we will see a very interesting competition in La Liga
next season.

[Velvet78]

I don't think that it is all about the price for Bayern Munich to sell Lewandowski. They just don't want to sell him for any price now. Because as far as I can see they haven't found an alternative striker for him. They just want to continue with him one more season before his contract expires. They must be aware that they won't be able to keep him more than that. However I wouldn't force Lewandowski to stay if I were them. Barcelona are highly interested and he also wants to go there. It isn't very professional to force him like this in this situation.

In this case it is difficult for me to understand what Barcelona want to do.
They moved quickly by bringing in Raphinha for 67 million euros in total whereas in the transfer market Raphinha was only around 45 million euros but they brought him at a price above.
When you see this there's nothing too strange, but when it's that much money why have they held Lewandowski for so long and even kept bidding.
As for something good, it is possible, but rather than spending a large amount, it is better for them to now pay some of the arrears they have.

I don't think that Real Madrid needs to stress too much about their squad. From my perspective, they have a very good squad and a very strong attacking lineup. Despite not getting Mbappe or Haaland, they do not have to worry, since they did well with the same lineup last season. The team does have a little bit of concern about defense, but that has also been solved with the addition of a new player.

Yes, they may not worry about their attacikng line because they ahve strong ones, Benzema. But we also think about the second lineup that also robably be great enough to play. although it will not as good as Benzema. ALthough I am also sure enough that wth this recent squad, Real Madrid has been better again and ready enough to face every opponent in La Liga or UCL.

[kawetsriyanto]

Power ranking balloon d'or showed Benzema in the first position and Sadio Mane on second position so obviously Benzema has good chance to get this award for season 2022 but i don't know if the position still possible to changed because this power rangking updated on may and i think Vinicius or Benzema both of them are deserved to this award because they were help Madrid to get LaLiga and champion league trophy but indeed Vinicius can developer good in Madrid because since arrived on 2018 he can showed good progress for his performance

We don't predict Vinicius to win balloon d'or in the near future. It should be in the next few years. For now, Benzema is the favorite to win it since he performed impressively in the last season. I even don't think that Vinicius can be nominated to win balloon d'or for the last season. It is not his time to qualify on balloon d'or. But for the next few years, it is not impossible that he can win balloon d'or if he can consistently improve his performance and play regularly as the main left-winger in Real Madrid lineup.

Yes, Bayern Munich has the right to keep Lewandowski with them, because the agreement between the two has not expired until the next season. Now the decision is in their hands even though Barcelona came back with the highest bid. From the start, Bayern Munich was reluctant to let Lewandowski go, but as the rumors went on, his decision became more and more apparent.

although chelsea is targeting to get Lewandowski. but it looks like chelsea doesn't really think of it as a top priority. But when you look at the financial side, Chelsea is superior to Barcelona. but as we know Lewandowski has said a lot that he wants a new challenge and Lewandowski has shown his interest in Barcelona. But his desire seems to be hampered by Barcelona's finances which are not doing well. so chelsea still has a chance in this case if you look at its good financial condition. but still the decision is in the hands of Bayern Munich.

This is what spoils a player's and he can decide to start giving the club attitude or ill-behaviour,because his mind is no longer at the club,and it seems they are forcing him to stay.He can decide not to score goals anymore,he can decide not to contribute to the team's growth as long as they did not grant his wish.He is fed up with the team and he needs new challenge but Bayern are finding it difficult to understand that with him.This decision will be very bad for them because I know Lewa will not be playing with his heart anymore.His mind is already  set and made up on playing for Barca,so I think it would be better they just let him go.
