La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[deathcode]

A friendly match is only a trial, there is nothing serious in it, winning or losing does not mean anything, because a friendly match is not an official competition.

No, I do not agree with this. A match can be a friendly match but the motive of playing the game is usually very important to both teams, a friendly match is used to determine the strength of the teams, the form and improvements of the players, the readiness of the team, and finally the practical display of the current tactics of the team by each player. Winning may not just be the most important thing in a friendly match but winning and putting up a great performance by any team is always considered in a friendly match because it shows that the team is ready to face any opponent in any competitionn.

especially after a long holiday at the end of the season. Of course, this pre-season or friendly match is quite important for every team. In addition to coordinating all the best squads, friendly matches can also help players who have just joined the team to show their quality. some players need time to get into the old squad game. and this is good to do before the new season starts.

Even if friendlies are not be taken seriously, it's still a determiner to checking how well a team has developed. This is not the first El clasico between the two and it's always interesting to watch them.
 There is definitely no doubt that even if Real Madrid lost to Barca, they put up a good fight. New signing, Raphina opened the score sheet for Barca and to be honest, they would have scored more if the opportunity had presented itself.
Maybe, this season can see Xavi and his men claiming the first position.

I even see that the abilities of the two teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona) are now on par again so it is very possible if for example Barcelona can be in first place next season and I will not be so surprised because in Barcelona there are already some good players who can relied on by Xavi in the next season. And I am sure that the duel between the two will be even more exciting next season in La Liga.

In yesterday pre-season or el classico match, it seemed that barcelona looked quite solid and could be said to have performed better than before, the presence of Rapinha and lewandowski has increased the intensity of barcelona's attacks to be better and varied at this time, I think if in the future barcelona is able to create chemistry between players old and new of course barcelona can be a better title challenger than madrid, but in this case we also can't doubt the capacity of madrid as a team that has a champions mentality and we don't know how much strength madrid next season even though pre-season didn't go well for them at the moment.

[3meek]

Indeed Barcelona look to have improved significantly in their defense and midfield, but don't forget that Real Madrid have a proven midfield creator who has led them to success. Casemiro, Modric and Kroos are undisputed midfield generals. It is a weapon for Real Madrid, and up front there are Benzema and Vinicius ready to finish the attack. I think Real Madrid is still more effective than Barcelona for now.

Effectively it is still superior to Real Madrid for now, but Barcelona has improved sharply when it has managed to recruit some very good new players at this time and I am sure that Barcelona also has strengths that are not much different from Real Madrid. Although there are still many people who are favorites for Real Madrid to win in La Liga next season.

I feel that we should not get too excited for Barcelona just yet, because they don’t have the funds necessary to register the new player’s they have signed, and unless they sell some player’s or all their new signings take massive pay cuts they can’t use these player’s. Lastly while Real Madrid is strong I expected them to further strengthen during this transfer window, but they haven’t made any big purchases and I wonder if it’ll harm them as the season progresses.

What's wrong with them not making any serious purchases? Barcelona did quite well last season with their current squad... Under the leadership of Xavi, they got great results... So I think next season we will see a rivalry between Real and Barca again!

[X-ray]

We shouldn't take friendly games too seriously. Because we don't see the real strength of teams in games like these. It was still nice to watch an unofficial El Clasico of course.    I'm looking forward to watching Real Madrid and Barcelona especially in this season. I hope to see a big competition between these teams for the league championship. Barcelona have improved their game and squad both a lot. They should be able to challenge hard for being the champions.

There was still a lot of heat on the match between this two in their el clasico . A derby is a derby there will always be heat between big rivals. Also i think this season will be really intresting in laliga for the title. Barcelona never looked better in last 10 years

Since the golden era when xavi was still playing in barcelona has gone and it has become the new era for barcelona. I remember when that golden time was happening. I hope that if any team will be equal. A very strict competition will be a very very interesting thing in la liga. It's not only aboue el clasico but the whole team in the la liga must have made very good improvements during the transfer seasons. This to prove that if la liga was very competitive as good as epl.
The dual between barca and real will be very interesting

We will see the best at the end of the season. It's not now! My opinion would be that Barcelona's 2022 summer transfer window are decent enough to make a serious threat next season in La Liga. Barca's new signings will ensure success in the long run, so let's wait and see what happens. We can't say anything early about FC Barcelona's side following its rivalry with Real Madrid since they haven't even played one game together yet.

In my personal opinion, although it is only a friendly match and only titled pre-season, both teams will definitely maximize this opportunity to measure each other's strengths and the coach also tries new tactics to prepare for the official competition and the coach also takes this. friendly opportunity to see new players join the team. The club and their coaches also give their youth academy players the opportunity to show their skills on the pitch, as Pep Guardiola did for their young player Wilson Esbrand, even Pep Guardiola said he was very impressed with Wilson Esbrand's performance in pre-season. , even Pep Guardiola intends to promote Wilson Esbrand in the senior squad this season.

It's important or not, it's an inevitable difference, but about friendly matches, basically, it's just to look at the readiness of the players themselves and also some of the strategies applied. However, a friendly match will not be used as a benchmark for an actual assessment. For example, in a friendly match Barcelona won and Real Madrid lost and thus, these results will not be used as a benchmark when they play in the real league. But even so, the friendly match remains an important agenda because if it is not important, then not many clubs are willing to undergo it.

Yes, it's true, that friendly matches are very important for the development of the players and the club itself. Because here they can evaluate the existing shortcomings, because in friendly matches the priority is their shortcomings. And not infrequently also in matches like this the teams apply a strategy that is actually not their main strategy.

apart from being a means to finalize strategy, friendly matches can also be a means for coaches to test the application of new formations and also to see how the quality of new players is, friendly matches are of course needed to be able to evaluate the team and apply it when the league match starts, I I think a lot of coaches might try experimenting at this point before actually finding the right formula later.

We all know that Barcelona is facing a financial crisis, but it doesn't seem like a problem for them to be very active in the transfer window. I don't know where the funds used to sign new players come from and how they will register all those new players, but what is clear is that Barcelona has made very good preparations for this season, and of course, that makes them one of the strong candidates for the title winner.

I saw in the news that Barcelona president Joan Laporta is raising funds by selling shares of the club. Despite being in a financial crisis, Barcelona is spending a lot of money. It's really amazing. But if the new players can play well with the club then maybe the Barcelona club will be financially stable in the next few years. Barcelona is now a stable club. I think Barcelona will be able to dominate La Liga next season if Xavi's match strategy is good.

Barcelona are not just building for the Lalliga alone,they are building for the champions league,because with what I'm seeing and how active they are in the transfer market,I'm seeing them as top favourite for the UEFA champions league next season.
Real Madrid won the tittle last season and it looked like a shock to everyone,now with the preparation that Barca have had,I'm seeing them to win the league this coming season and also win the champions league as well.

Because here they can evaluate the existing shortcomings, because in friendly matches the priority is their shortcomings. And not infrequently also in matches like this the teams apply a strategy that is actually not their main strategy.

Of course they will try a lot of tactics and players. They took advantage of it to find the best combination of teams. Although I believe they are also promoting and looking for income for the club. They benefited more from the pre-season tournament. But sometimes in pre-season the game is not very serious. The pressure on the game is very different. They will certainly play carefree so that they can play more relaxed. It's a pity I can't always see their matches because the time in my country is morning, and I'm at work.

[BITCOIN4X]

Apart from that, friendly matches during pre-season are also good business for the organizers so it can also benefit both teams. Trial of strategy, new players is an absolute thing, but many of us forget that it is also a profitable business.

For now the friendlies are on until the end of August, and if it's about Barcelona then I think we'll see another big game against Manchester City. There are still plenty of matches to look forward to, but they might not be that exciting if the opponents aren't worth it.

[KTChampions]

Why so pessimistic? It's just training, nothing serious. Did you also believe in Barcelona that was "reborn"? And other clubs have even less opportunities compared to Real Madrid.

I think it is normal to feel worried about Real Madrid performance lately. Sure, it is a friendly match only, but Real Madrid performance is very far from our expectations. They even can't win against Club America, why do they perform so badly? Even other top clubs also got bad results, Real Madrid should perform better since they are the winner of UCL, which means the strongest club in the world. Barcelona is clearly showing a better performance although we don't know if they deserve to call "reborn" or not. However, if Real Madrid can improve their performance, their players may decrease in their mentality (winning spirit).

I think it makes sense to talk about serious games, the next one will be held on August 10th, it will be the UEFA Super Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt. And bookmakers give very adequate quotes for this game:

1.52 - 4.50 - 6.20

This is not an underestimation like in the Bayern - Leipzig game and not an overestimation like in the PSG - Nantes game.

I don't know where the funds used to sign new players come from and how they will register all those new players, but what is clear is that Barcelona has made very good preparations for this season, and of course, that makes them one of the strong candidates for the title winner.

I agree that barcelona have tried their best to prepare their team for next season's achievements and of course it's about the title. It doesn't matter where they get their money from and how they can register their players this season so they don't get entangled in financial fair play, but for sure they deserve to be underdogs this season. I am delighted with Xavi's optimism for Barcelona, ​​and so far he has proven his capacity as an influential coach.

Friendly matches are just a way for the coaches to rehearse the strategy that they are going to implement in the actual competitive matches. Many organizers get a good deal of exposure because of friendly Matches. Let’s not forget that there are also some people who are really big enthusiasts of football and they don’t even stop watching friendly matches. Obviously, that is possible because football does not take a huge chunk of time from a day. But personally, I find friendly matches to be not as exciting as the actual league matches and competitive matches. That’s because there is nothing at stake, to be honest.

[Distraction]

Maybe Barcelona are having a great transfer window now but they really have spent incredible amount of money already. They still don't want to make do with these transfers and they are going for Jules Kounde also. Maybe it is like a dream for Barcelona but it is time to wake up from it. Otherwise their finance is going to get even more terrible until the end of the season. They don't make long-term plans now as it seems. Because the total salary load is increasing on one hand also.

It seems that Xavi only focuses on the team and the result, and he leaves the financial side of the issue to others. With Juventus, Barcelona looked interesting, they attacked a lot and looked very confident overall. I especially liked how the right flank worked, and especially how Dembele worked, he passed the Juventus defenders very ease, it was beautiful. Pogba and Vlahovic didn't play for Juventus, and it was not possible to watch the game of the main squads, but Barcelona looked expectedly stronger.

It is the situation indeed. Xavi must be thinking about being very successful in the coming season. They made a big improvement last season and finished the league at the second position. This isn't good enough for a team like Barcelona of course. Xavi has an ambitious personality so I understand him about these transfers. The team also seems to agree on whoever Xavi wants to see in his team now. After all these transfers the expectation level is going to be really high from them. If they don't have a solid season then they will just be in more debt and nothing more.

I am waiting for this match. Manchester City is a very strong team. On the other hand, after performing unstable in the last two seasons, Barcelona is now very stable. Barcelona has the ability to win against any strong team. But I'm looking forward to seeing the Xavi vs Guardiola match strategy. If Xavi wins this match then I would say it will be one of the biggest ac.hievements of Xavi's coaching career so far

Are you waiting for a game that isn't even on Barcelona's agenda?, LOL . Only 2 friendly matches will be played by Barcelona, ​​against the New York Red Bulls (MLS club) and Pumas UNAM (Mexican league club), after that we'll see Barcelona which will compete in La Liga.

Their match against the New York Red Bulls will be tomorrow, what do you think? can Barcelona win this match easily?

[Ratash]

Barcelona team is the most team who profited from this mercato they stregthen both their attack and their defense with some good players and xavi seem to handle his squad well after the good performance against real madrid and juventus but in a laliga things might be different since its long and each game is differnent.
