La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Gosgosking]

Staying at Manchester United is the best thing for Ronaldo even though he has to accept the fact that he won't be playing in the Champions League.

To be exact, I was thinking the same thing about her current situation. Ronaldo is more likely to choose to stay at Manchester United even though he is not used to playing in the Europa League, imo. But I'm also not saying he would be at fault if he really wanted to play in the Champions League with another team, it's a wish he might keep.
As far as we know, Ronaldo is a player who is very ambitious to win titles in various competitions every season. His desire to be able to play in the Champions League this season failed because Manchester United only qualified for the Europa League, maybe that was good for Manchester United but not necessarily good for Ronaldo.

I think if Ronaldo wants himself to be considered the best and famous from season to season then he has to bring Manchester United into the Champions League, if he can't then Ronaldo is just like a parasite and there is no contribution at all even though his efforts at this club have been maximized. can't give the best it will be considered unprofessional, so you can say this is the value or result of him while on the red devil team.

I totally agree with you. Before Ronaldo joined Juventus, he gave Juve fans hope that he would win the Champions League title with Juventus. But he failed. He said the same after joining Manchester United. Ronaldo also failed with United. Now if he can't stabilize the United team, and stick with the team in their bad times, I'd say he's selfish. He only used the parties for his own needs.

Ronaldo is a great player but it is totally wrong to believe that only one man can win Champions league.  Winning champions league is not a thing of one man,  it is a team work. If Manchester United players were hardworking like Ronaldo it would have been possible to win trophies.  The reason Real Madrid are always winning it because all their players are good.

Extremely selfish! A player that has won almost every trophy and award. But he is still desperate to win more because of his unhealthy competitive nature. Cristiano Ronaldo is always competing with Lionel Messi. He should understand that it is time to make sacrifice and set aside pride and personal goals. His focus now should be on how to help Manchester United win the Europa league and other competitions this season. Meanwhile Manchester United have stated that they would only let him leave to another club on loan and if he extend his contract by another one year.
  

we never know what really happened although rumors circulated because manchester was absent from the champions league this season.
The strong desire to leave is a big question mark for me, what really happened between the club and ronaldo. although I agree that he has achieved a series of achievements that are very difficult to compete with the current star players, except for messi.

Seeing this, he has lost the club's trust and heyday, it is evident that many clubs have clearly rejected him.
Regardless of age and salary issues (according to rumours)
in my opinion, the best option is to stay at Old Trafford and give everything he has, in the sense of giving his best in every game until he retires from football.

It looks like Laporta is still thinking about making Messi come back to his old team sooner or later. Maybe he wants Messi to end his career at Barcelona by playing his last matches there. I don't know whether this can really happen in the future. But it seems clear that they won't make any offer for him before this transfer window ends. They had better not to also because their finance is going even worse as long as they continue to bring new players.

Xavi indeed want Messi return to Barcelona because he still consider Messi is great player but he said only if Messi contract ended which mean on 2023 not this summer but i don't think PSG won't let he leave even in the near future PSG have a plan to extended his contract because although his performance not so good last season but in the term of economic income Messi effect really successfully to get more sponsorship for PSG

Messi is 35 years old at the moment and for Barcelona's plans next season to bring Messi back to Camp Nou after his contract with PSG expires, I think we will have to see how Messi plays this season with PSG and I am not sure Barcelona will realize their plans if Messi's form continues decreased with PSG and also for players who are 35 years old, of course their performance is not optimal anymore.
these are just rumors and wishes from the Barcelona management and we don't know what will happen in the future, and personally I'm a little doubtful about Messi's performances that are declining with age.

Barcelona still feels very dependent on Messi, that's not good in my opinion. After all, no player is bigger than the team. They have to quickly forget their success with Messi, because players won't be on the pitch forever. They have to depend on the team, meaning the more influential team here. Don't let them depend on one player, whoever it is.

It is true that a team should not be too dependent on one player, it will harm the team. Because a professional football player's career is
not long, so when team depend on one player, when that player moves to another team or retires, the team's performance will be affected.
I remember the previous season when Messi decided not to renew his contract at Barcelona, then Barcelona's performance at the start of
the season was very bad playing without Messi. After Barcelona managed to bring in Xavi as coach, then Xavi can make Barcelona slowly
escape from the shadow of Messi.

It doesn't really matter if Messi's contract runs out with PSG, then Messi decides to rejoin Barcelona, it will motivate other Barcelona players,
because Messi is a Barcelona legend. But that doesn't mean Barcelona's game will be centered on Messi anymore, like you said after all the player
can't be bigger than the team. If Messi were to rejoin Barcelona, Messi must not be selfish as a star player, he must be willing to adapt to
the new Barcelona style of play, not Barcelona changing their style of play to suit Messi.

reportedly kounde chose barcelona over other teams and this is a good thing for the barcelona defense.  in the elclasico match a few days ago (even though it was only a pre-season match), it was clear that the barcelona squad was already extraordinary, so with the entry of kounde to barca it will add strength to barca again in the back line, hopefully kounde to barca no more obstacles.

The pre-season match is an initial assessment for Barcelona who are already on the path to a better strength and it will also provide an even more exciting spectacle next season. The Barcelona squad now is already strong because it is Xavi's attempt to bring Barcelona back to the champions they have wanted all along. Hopefully Barcelona can dominate La Liga and also the Champions League again next season.

Congratulation to Barca for an overall good performance. During FC Barcelona's pre-season match against Real Madrid, they were very compact and dominated throughout. The Barcelona team was at their best, and we're looking forward to an even more entertaining next season. Hopefully, La Liga and the Champions League will once again be dominated by Barcelona.

Barcelona's squad is very strong. I would say their attack is the best attack in La Liga right now. And the midfield is stable enough. But the defense is weak. Barcelona dropped points against lesser teams last season due to poor defending. The defense will definitely need to be strengthened if they want to win the title this season. And against smaller teams, full points must be achive. So Barcelona will surely benefit if Kounde is included in the team.

Now Kounde is a priority for Barcelona, ​​after yesterday El Clasico in a friendly match, the attack line and Barcelona midfield were very good. I can say Barcelona will bounce back if they are able to add strength in defense, the presence of Kounde can make the defense strong again, Barcelona must immediately complete the transfer of Kounde, because Chelsea are also trying to bring in Kounde to strengthen their defense.

Having a good relationship during playing days this reunion will be possible
And Messi will be and play like a nineteen year old Messi that did under Pep
But Messi would fit in well into the number ten role if he wants a return back to Barcelona.

How sure are you that if Messi returned to Barcelona, he would play like he did when he was younger? I don't think so, even when they play together again now. His game at Paris Saint Germain has also decreased a bit, maybe because the chemistry there is not as good as at Barcelona. But then again, even though he's back in Barcelona, I'm not sure he can put in a great performance.

Barcelona always surprises even in the transfer market this season. Barcelona is rumored to be experiencing a financial crisis but in fact the players who are brought in are always those who have high prices with high quality as well. and many players from other clubs who want to get into barcelona. like jules kounde. even though chelsea has cast a high bid of 55 million pounds. but the sevilla and jules kounde have not provided clarity to chelsea. but now circulating that the sevilla have given a positive sign to barcelona. that is ready to accept the proposal of personal terms.

The diplomacy carried out by the management of Barca and Xavi to get great players who currently fill the Barca squad really deserves a thumbs up. chelsea (who are competing for kounde too) will definitely be very upset with barca for losing the competition for kounde.  barca must be able to get the trophy back (la league and even UCL) so that all the struggles they put in to earn money, pay off.

Barcelona is very synonymous with big transfers, every player brought in by Barcelona always has an above average price. But not all players who were brought in by Barcelona were able to show the best performance as when playing with the previous club. Ibrahimovic, Coutinho and Arda Turan were in the group of players who failed to shine after moving to Barcelona, ​​even though their performances were so good while still at their old club that Barcelona dared to redeem them at a high price.
In the transfer market this time Barcelona is still not satisfied with the players who have been successfully brought in, Barcelona management is still trying to bring in Kounde to strengthen the team in the defense sector. I think this time Barcelona didn't choose the wrong players they brought in, their presence in the squad can help improve Barcelona's performance.

Yes indeed they have to get achievements that can pay for everything they do in this transfer market, if they don't get achievements, at least their performance changes significantly. If they are still the same as last season, then I can say they failed in this transfer market, despite the quality players they brought in for a lot of money.

I paid attention to the odds with which bookmakers accept bets on the next champion in La Liga:

RealMadrid 2.05

Barcelona 2.35

Atletico Madrid 6.30

Sevilla 18.50

Real is quoted more than 2! LOL. In my opinion, this is easy money. I would bet even if the odds were 1.6-1.7. The only thing that stops me is the deadline for the execution of the bet.

That's right, it's easy money and it's quite tempting for now.
I don't know why this is one of the interesting things in betting because if we look at it from a readiness perspective, 2.05 is very big in my opinion.
I will save some of my money in gambling this season in Madrid because even though the season hasn't started yet, it's still worth it to do.

[AakZaki]

The match was quite interesting. Doesn't look like a friendly match at all. Both teams display seriousness like the official El Clasico match.
90 minutes on, tackling tackles look the same. Robert Lewandowski looked solid with the team in this match and Real Madrid had to admit Barcelona's victory with a goal scored by their newest signing, Raphinha.

Great game, just like playing in the league. I'm here to see Busquet, he's so tough that he even had an argument with Rodygo because of Vinicius, who was violated by Jordi Alaba. In addition there are five yellow cards of which four belong to barca. Busquet also had time to beat Modric, and was pulled out replaced by Nico Gonzalez. Indeed Busquet is one of the senior players there, maybe he wants to set an example for other players to always be serious in matches.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona are likely to keep Frenkie de Jong in the team now. However there are so many midfielders in the squad at the same time. I don't know whether they are thinking of finding a solution for this. Having too many alternatives in the team can cause some of those players to get really sad in time. This would cause serious in-team problems. I hope that Xavi has plans about this topic and they can sell some players while buying too.

On the other hand I heard that Barcelona will cut Frenkie de Jong's salary. It would be tough for the players in my opinion if the situation was like this, unless De Jong was willing and preferred loyalty to Barcelona. We know that Barcelona's spending in this transfer market is quite expensive, because their financial situation is also not good. Let's wait for the final decision of this player.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Just look at this! Barcelona are really close to stealing Jules Kounde as well from Chelsea's hands.    Fabrizio Romano said that the player is likely to be prepared to agree personal terms with Barcelona. There is still no update about the Chelsea side. It is just really difficult to understand how this can happen. I mean that Barcelona have like an unlimited amount of money at the moment. I guess that they will sign him for a price like €50-60m. Their financial condition is getting worse while adding strong players to the team.

Actually such a fuss is good for both teams, especially since the tension in the match is quite high. They play like El Clasico for a big competition (Laliga or Champions League) but it's just a friendly match. Lol

I see the Barcelona players now have a good mentality against a big team like Real Madrid, it's different before when many junior players seem to prefer to give up when there is a fuss. But now Barcelona are brave enough and this kind of mental toughness is good for all players because it can help them never to be afraid of their opponents when they play. They managed to beat Real Madrid, and that is a good result.

The concept of Barcelona this season is to keep buying and not letting players go
They now have a lot of players in midfield and attacking positions but indeed they seem reluctant to let go of players even though there are already several clubs who want their players to be brought in.
But indeed for De Jong there is still uncertain in my opinion even though there is hope for him to be in the core Line Up but things like this can still be another consideration for Xavi.

Actually with such high tension, we can't tell if it's a friendly match or a real el clasico where both clubs want to beat each other. The most striking difference is from the players who are fielded, especially from Real Madrid. They didn't field the full squad, not even a Benzema was seen on the bench. I can't wait to see how they play in the competition.

Barcelona seems to be an enemy for Chelsea in the transfer market this summer, every player who is included in Chelsea's target list, Barcelona also appears there and actually wins the hunt with Chelsea. Chelsea heat tension increased after Raphinha and Lewandowski chose to join Barcelona, ​​Chelsea first made an offer to Leeds.  In fact, the Leeds accepted a 60 million pounds proposal made by Chelsea. But Barcelona came with an offer to Leeds and finally completed the transfer of Raphinha. The same case also happened to Lewandowski, Chelsea tried to open up opportunities to buy Lewandowski, because Lewandowski would be used as an ideal replacement for Lukaku, again Barcelona became the mastermind behind Chelsea's failure to get the player he wanted.

Now Kounde is reportedly getting closer to Barcelona, ​​while Chelsea have been approaching Kounde for a long time. Chelsea made an offer of 55 million pounds to Sevilla. However, according to the sources above, Kounde is ready to accept an offer from Barcelona and the club is discussing the structure of his transfer payment with Sevilla. Again Chelsea had to swallow the bitter pill that Barcelona gave.
