La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[kro55]

Barcelona is a club that is always unpredictable. When we see the financial slump but there is another flow of funds coming in. That's how the public should not know in detail about Barcelona finances. Just look at the enthusiasm of Lewandowski and Raphinha, do they show a regretful face and question the salary? certainly not
This is precisely where Barcelona is seen as a suitable home for pursuing the careers of players who will shine.

Barcelona is now in dire financial straits. Yet they spent a lot of money on player purchases. Now they don't seem to be able to pay the players properly. Maybe next season they will reduce the salary of their players again. I think it shouldn't. Players like Raphinha and Lewandoski don't question about the salary, perhaps because of the potential for disgrace. But we must not forget that they are professional players, and they play for money.

I don't think it will be easy to deal with Barcelona's finances, but if it's about the future it could be about finances it's not always bad. Don't forget this is a big club, being dragged down by the financial crisis didn't stop them from improving their performance system. We haven't seen his debut with the new squad yet, so we'll see if it lives up to expectations or sinks again. Whatever the Barcelona financial crisis, we see it as a giant club that is currently undergoing a major overhaul.

Barcelona is a renowned club. And we have seen a lot of stable gameplay from them in the past, they have won many titles. But their performance is not stable in the last two seasons. And so in order to perform consistently well, despite the financial crisis, Xavi has brought in a number of talented players this season. Hopefully these players will play well with the Barcelona team. And gradually Barcelona will be financially stable. The management now has to think about how to provide wages to these players.

They have big problems financially and this is clearly disrupting their gameplay.
When some of their great players have left it's clear this has shaken the balance of the team so it's been quite difficult for them to stay confident in the last few seasons.
On the other hand, their coach actually can't do much because there is a mismatch that is getting bigger and bigger for them and makes them worse off.
Now one could say they are starting again with Xavi at the helm. Even if it's difficult it's just a matter of seeing if Xavi can make something good or just make things worse now.

Among the teams currently in La Liga, Real Madrid is currently in the best position But their team is complete and very strong. The way they line up the team in every game really shocks the supporters But they have built themselves the last way first Champions League. So it can be said without a doubt that the most favorite team in La Liga is Real Madrid

Arguably the best team in history of football if I should say, but expect a more intensed La Liga weekends games, matches and fixtures.
Noticed Barcelona lately ? Then you would see how they are preparing good for the new season. Xavi Hernandez is in the kitchen cooking some spicy a d tasty Ketchup for the new season to kick off.
They should introduce a defender soon once that has been done, the only thing likely to stop them would be injuries and disciplinary actions from Fifa over their player's. Lewandoski Pedri, Fati and othjer big names are getting set. They have my backing for the La Liga title.

I am quite sure that Xavi is also preparing the team quite well heading into the next season. After all, he has made some big changes and brought in players who cost a lot of money for Barcelona even in this financial situation. So if the team does not perform well, it's his head. I believe Real Madrid is proving to be an extremely difficult opponent for any team next season.

But I also believe that if any team is able to beat Real Madrid in the upcoming season it is most likely to be Barcelona. I really hope that Barcelona does not end up being a failure again, especially after they have made some big investments ahead of the next season.

[SirLancelot]

As a big team full of titles, of course I believe that Madrid is still the best team in La Liga, the big changes that occurred today in Barcelona of course surprised us all considering Barcelona financial condition, Barcelona is indeed a great team that has or have won glory but for some reason even though now the their squad has prepared well, but I am a little doubtful whether they can return to being the best in the next few seasons, whether or not a club is good is not only seen in the number of star players but the club finances Strong also has an important role for the club to be the best in the league.

We all know about this who is best and who could be still in strong position even Barcelona is doing big changes but still this is not enough for having good results in matches and win title they needed good strategy and better financial condition as well which is surely not with Barcelona side they are buying big quality players but going down day by day in finances as well.

With this all many peoples still have doubt can Barcelona perform as they are doing homework right now because only having big players in team is not only case for winning titles they still need how to manage them for giving tough challenge to double Champions Real Madrid which is already on top and have good value of bet.

[savetheFORUM]

Yes, I also think so, soon we will definitely see the news that Barcelona players have officially joined other teams. It's just that as you say, maybe Xavi Hernandez is considering who they are going to sell. Of course he will adjust to the strategy that will be applied by him, which players deserve to be maintained.

So far Frenkie De Jong has become one of the main potentials to leave Camp Nou because he get an offer from several clubs, and it is more evident seeing the arrival of Franck Kessie from Milan. Although it can be rejected, there is no other way because Frenkie De Jong has a high enough sale value that will greatly help their finances after spending more than one hundred million to bring Raphinha and Lewandowski.

There is no doubt Frankie De Jong is one of the main assets for the Barcelona, but they are tying to settle their debit with this as well which is surely having some trouble for buyers, so they are not going with these things which is big hurdle for them to sell him with their required price tag even few weeks back I was sure Manchester United will buy this player but after reading contract they rejected this with increase in price, but they don't want to go with this all debit issue which is currently having big concern for the Barcelona.

They bought few very big names in last few days and still having few targets which is going to be good for their strength, but they need to check other prospects as well for having better future.

[Ratash]

The classico will be returning tomorrow in form of a friendly game barcelona are the favourite with 1.92 odd and real madrid with 3 odd its a bit surprising since real madrid was far better last season but i guess the bookies took in consideration last season large win for barcelona 4 0 not to mention the new players they signed, unlike last season i think tomorrow game will be a close one and will give us insight on what to expect from both teams.

[minairia3]

Let's take a look at some of the breakthroughs from Barcelona in the transfer market this time. They really strengthened the whole team by bringing in several players in several positions which indeed last season was their weakness. On the other hand, their rivals Real Madrid have held back a bit and have only signed a few young players that they are preparing for the future. The striking difference is that in midfield, Real Madrid are really serious about regenerating him.

Barcelona have made a really good progress by their transfers as well. Lewandowski has been their biggest move so far and they have made a big effort to sign him for a long time. Raphinha transfer is also very good for their right wing. He performed really good for Leeds and it was time he left the team to join a bigger one. There are some other good moves like this too as you know. This is making Barcelona a much more challenging team. The only question in my mind is about how many of these new players will be able to play in the La Liga considering the financial fair-play.

Barca knows they have shortcomings in the attack. therefore Xavi asked the club management to bring in several players to strengthen the front line.
Barca has strength in their midfield. but Xavi still lacks in defense. we could see it last season. That weakness can temporarily be covered by the strength of the Barca midfield. but that makes them less productive.
but this season, they will come with a more solid squad. Barca is ready to challenge Madrid and other clubs for another trophy.

I believe Barcelona is looking to replicate something Real Madrid did last season. In the last season, Real Madrid did not have a particularly strong defense. However, Real Madrid still managed to win both the La Liga title and also the Champions League title as well.

I think Barcelona is just trying to do the same thing. But for some reason, I think that is not going to work. First of all, Real Madrid has brought in defensive players to strengthen the defensive line. And secondly, Real Madrid has a much more complete team compared to Barcelona.

Right now Barcelona does look to be the second best in La Liga. So I hope Barcelona will be able to achieve some remarkable things. The reason for this is that otherwise there will be a lot of questions and a lot of money could be wasted.

What a strange moment for both teams to play against each other. But it is a friendly match, a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is never friendly. Both teams want to win this game for sure. Result won't say much. You can't say based on tomorrow's game how good both clubs are now. Madrid is much further than Barcelona, there it is also very restless due to the situation regarding Frenkie de Jong.

Newcastle are trying to sign Depay now but he doesn't seem to be eager to leave to join them. He expects to get offers from bigger teams to think of leaving Barcelona. Actually Barcelona seemed even eager to sell him below his market value but they wouldn't force him to find a team for himself of course. Depay can still be used in the team too. Maybe he would wait in the subs while Lewandowski is in the team. But when he finds the chance I think he can contribute well.

[barbara44]

I think Barcelona doesn't need to sell that many players do they? They could "waive" players in a regard, it's the salary that they are having trouble with and if they just get rid of some players, then they do not need to "sell" them, just fire them would be enough, and if the player agrees on a mutual agreement to cancel the contract, nobody would have to be sold.

I am sure players like Depay and Braithwaite could find other places to work and that's why they wouldn't care about this. Of course, it is not going to be an easy thing but it's a thing at the very least, and Barcelona could do that part a lot better and a lot quicker which is why I think they will do that.

[BIT-BENDER]

Like Frankie De jong agent has told Manchester United to back off so should any team including Newcastle to back off from going for Depay. This two players are quality players with passion to play for Barcelona you can see that on their faces in pre season. Also they haven’t really hit the potentials they would want in Barcelona so a move away for them would make their stay in Barcelona a failure. I think this is very easy to understand for any team.

[SatoPrincess]

Barcelona have been successful in the transfer window this summer with the number of talented players they have acquired this summer. The president and the club have done very well, beating their financial problems and getting Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen, Lewandowski, and renewed Dembele's contract. With the level of quality in their squad they will compete in all competitions next season and win atleast one trophy or two.

[ilovealtcoins]

Barcelona are still in the pursuit for more players as they continue to struggle with financial issues.They have seen most of the players they wanted to sign turn them down because of the financial crisis at the club at the moment,therefore,they have decided to sell some of the players to make funds available so as to be able to get the type of players they want.A player in the calibre of Lewandowski and Raphinha. It is yet to be seen whether they will be able to afford them or not.

I think, Barcelona president is still looking for a way to get a huge amount of money to bring in new talented players in this season that will help the team to grow higher. I believe, they will definitely get the type of players they want in this season because many potential players are willing to join the team, if Barcelona managements can be able to afford the money. If Barcelona managements can be able to afford the money to get talented strikers and midfielders it will be difficult for any team to defeat Barcelona in next season because all those young talented strikers and midfielders have something good to offer that will bring victory at the end of the tournament.

I really don't understand the idea of bringing in new players at this moment because I believe they don't have a good amount of bank balance to pull off those types of transfers. I believe that Barcelona will be better off not making those big transfers and trying to save up the money for the future. Now I understand that everyone is really excited right now because they have a new coach who has been able to achieve good results in a short amount of time. It does feel like if he is given some money to work with, Barcelona will be able to show better performance. They bought Lewandowski, they bought Raphinha, but my question is what if it does not work out and Barcelona just ends up losing more money?

Maybe he would wait in the subs while Lewandowski is in the team. But when he finds the chance I think he can contribute well.

Not everything is about money so i understand if Depay wants to stay,he will play in the biggest club in the world. But if he wont play it would be smart for him to leave because his position is filled with a lot of quality players. If Newcastle gets him somehow it would be amazing deal for them

[Shasha80]

Also they haven’t really hit the potentials they would want in Barcelona so a move away for them would make their stay in Barcelona a failure. I think this is very easy to understand for any team.

It seems that since Barcelona made Xavi a coach it had a positive effect, so many players wanted to play at Barcelona. Including players who are
already at Barcelona they don't want to move to another club, as an example of how Raphinha rejected Chelsea and chose to join Barcelona.
Then Lewandowski, who since April only wanted to play at Barcelona, after that now De Jong and Depay who don't want to be sold by Barcelona,
both players want to stay at Barcelona. Even Martin Braithwaite also refused to move to another club and chose to fight at Barcelona.

If that's the case, Barcelona must respect each player's decision, and Barcelona is also difficult to sell players who don't want to leave Barcelona.
Then according to rumors, Barcelona management asked Xavi for help to convince De Jong and Depay to move to another team. Because the advice
from Xavi is considered more effective to convince De Jong and Depay to move to another club. We'll see if Xavi can convince the two Dutch players
to move to another club, even though the sale of De Jong and Depay could ease Barcelona's financial condition, which Barcelona hopes to get around
100 million euros from the sale of the two players.

I see zero rumour about Osimhen to Bayern Munich right now. I don't think that Napoli would let Osimhen go easily now as he is one of the most critical players for them. Bayern Munich are still in search of a striker indeed but we don't know anything about their targets yet. By the way I don't expect Ronaldo to be signed by Napoli now. His closest destination is Atletico Madrid but even that might not happen. As for Luis Suarez he is under the radar of Dortmund too now. In a possible race to sign him it is hard to predict which side he would choose.

So many rumours about Ronaldo going to different clubs. Hell I even so somewhere they said he would go to Barcelona or Arsenal  

What people don't know right now is Manchester United doesn't even have a good major striker if Ronaldo decided to go. Have you thought about him staying at Mn United instead?

I doubt if he will go to Atlético Madrid

Yeah I'm thinking just about that now.    He is more likely to stay at Manchester United from now on. It is better for him to stay actually. Because his value in the team is really big now. Manchester United are making an effort to consolidate their squad and system both thanks to Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo hasn't even seen any example of it in an official match yet. He should continue to play for them for at least one more year. Maybe this time they will be in the Champions League too.

The president and the club have done very well, beating their financial problems and getting Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen, Lewandowski, and renewed Dembele's contract.

They are successful to sign some top players but they don't succeed to achieve anything (titles). I think, we can say that Barcelona is successful if they can win at least 1 title in the next season. Without winning any title, they only waste money by signing Raphinha, Kessie, Christensen, or Lewandowski. They need to prove their success by winning a trophy/title.

With the level of quality in their squad they will compete in all competitions next season and win atleast one trophy or two.

The current squad of Barcelona cannot guarantee anything. You are too confident if you said they will win 1 or 2 trophies. Signing many top players only guarantees that they have a better squad quality, but no guarantee to win titles.

[Rengga Jati]

-snip-

regardless of the rumors you say, barcelona is currently building the credibility of its squad again, i'm sure barcelona will bounce back next season, unhindered by the financial crisis the club is facing.
Barcelona currently have a formidable back line, Pique, Christensen, Eric Garcia, Segino Dest are likely to become right backs plus new signing Cesar Azpilicueta.........

Indeed, they are really building a stronger squad this season and this will make them bounce again like previous seasons. Barcelona in the last season may not be able to be a big threat to Real Madrid, but it will be different for this season. I am a fan of Real Madrid, but I cannot deny that Barcelona this season will be really tough to face.
I am thinking of they are now really recovering from their financial problems although there may be still some. But, bringing in more star players and strengthening the squad, can bring in more sponsors. Moreover, the pandemic has almost ended, so they can do ticket sales again.

Barcelona made a lot of changes to the team. In my opinion, most of the transfer decisions were very good. Fans have high hopes that this season in La Liga will belong to Barcelona. However, in my opinion, it all depends on how Lewandowski will get along with other players on and off the pitch. If he scores as many goals as in Bayern Munich, Barcelona should be able to deal with Real Madrid.

[jakdanyel]

I expect to see a bigger competition for the league championship this time. Barcelona have made really good transfers and Lewandowski is the most important one of course. They needed these transfers to be more competitive. Having only solid game strategies aren't always enough. Now they can fight for the championship against Real Madrid. They already started to shock Real Madrid by defeating them with a huge score in Bernabeu last season. I think that it was only the beginning.
