La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Furious 7]

Believe it or not, because this pre-season match will indirectly make the Spanish league return to the spotlight of football lovers who had been dim because Messi and Ronaldo left, especially the next El Clasico match.
I think the El Clasico match in the future will be very much awaited by football lovers.

Now the La Liga euphoria will improve slightly even though only 2 clubs are still stealing the attention with Madrid being passive in player transfers and Barcelona being very active in bringing in expensive players.
But as you said, there will be interesting things because when these two clubs compete against each other it will make a splash there which is quite exciting and indeed this will not be missed by football lovers.

What will make a stark difference is at Barcelona with their latest signing, surely adding to their match even more exciting. On the other hand, at Real Madrid, they are still dominated by those who feel the atmosphere of El Clasico in the past. I mumbled a bit in their game yesterday, I think the players who just came to Barcelona said "this is how El Clasico matches".

Memphis Depay is likely to leave the team these days. Juventus are interested in signing him currently as they are in search of a striker now. There are Werner and Morata also who are among their targets. When it comes to signing Depay, I don't think that Barcelona would make difficulties for him. Because they have already been willing about selling him for a nice amount of money. Lewandowski's arrival has made things easier for Barcelona to make a decision about this topic.

I think from the look of things Barcelona wants Memphis Depay to leave the club. I don't think the striker has declared his interest in joining Juventus who are considering securing the signature of a good striker for the team right now but the way the FC Barcelona boss Xavi has structured the team right now, with Lewandosski in the team Depay has no place in the team again so he will likely leave the team before the dead line of the transfer window.

This should be very interesting. El Clasico is indeed a little less interesting in this regard after losing Pepe, Sergio, Ronaldo to Madrid. and Messi, Neymar and Villa at Barcelona (My Version). because several seasons after some of these players disappeared indirectly there is no intrigue that is presented in El Clasico although it is still worth seeing.
Now Lewandowski as a high goal productivity player in the Bundesliga is coming and could be considered a challenge to Benzema in this season's top scorer and this will definitely ignite a rivalry that has not been seen for a long time.

What you say is not wrong, but next season's El Clasico will also be no less interesting to watch with the presence of Lewandowski at Barcelona which will make a long-lost rivalry visible again next season. I'm sure Barcelona fans will be even more excited next season because Barcelona's front line is better than before and will also try to present a fiercer competition next season.

El Clasico is always interesting to watch regardless of who is in the Real Madrid and Barcelona squad, the rivalry between the two La Liga giants has been going on for a long time, the match between the two always presents high tension. El Clasico is not only about 3 points, but the pride of the team is also at stake, the team that wins the match can be proud because the media continues to present the results of this match for days. Barcelona's transformation in the transfer market will make El Clasico even more exciting, because before Barcelona won the last El Clasico, Real Madrid was always in control of this big game.

Yes it is true El Clasico matches are always interesting, but I feel it has decreased a bit lately, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonel Messi are no longer there. But now there's something interesting again after the reshuffle by Barcelona and also the young players from Real Madrid who were adamant in their last game.

I saw the schedule match between Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United today for friendly match and this is good match for Atletico before entering new season and indeed from first match Atletico can win from weak team Numancia with score 4-0 but today their opponent is strong so whether they can beat their opponent or not especially Manchester United under Ten Hag has been change with unbeatable during pre season but unfortunately Ronaldo wouldn't play but besides that i want to see Atletico performance without Suarez

They Athletico Madrid will still have them forward players very impactive this season despite loosing Luis Suarez. It was a very tight one as it should be. Athletico Madrid are always very compact when it comes to attacking teams like Manchester United.
They had a late winner from their Portuguese international star Joao Felix, this should be the second he did after scoring Manchester United in the Champions League.

Ronaldo is back training with Manchester United after long speculations bout him been linked to several sides like Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Lastly Athletico Madrid.

Regeneration was a must, the team can't always rely with the two players like messi and ronaldo which become even older every year. Their stamina was actually become different from year to the another year.
The battle is not about personal but it's the game for the club with so many players on it. I think that people who always think about ronaldo and messi can't move on from them.

The new team already born again for both real and barcelona. There will always be interesting battle between both.

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona was already very fierce before Messi and Ronaldo and I don't think it will have a big impact on the high tension of El Clasico even without these two players, every game when these two teams meet always shows an interesting match and with high tension.
and for next season I think El Clasico will be much better than the previous season because for now Barcelona are fixing their squad to be stronger next season and that is of course to compete more tightly with Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy.

Apart from that I hope Barcelona quickly resolve the problems they are still facing. Because it is undeniable that the problems that befell them slightly lower their performance so that it also affects the El Clasico match. Now Barcelona still cannot say that they are done with their problems. Even with their activeness in the transfer market, it might also have an impact on them going forward.

Not place available for Memphis Depay and actually Barcelona ask him leave in this season and hope have new club want to pay higher values transfer, after arriving Lewandowski, I think Depay can't get regular position again when still Koeman as manager, right now most drastically different condition where Depay always as substitute player. Have Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Dembele, Ansu Fati and Gavi make Depay will face difficulty get regular position on next season. Keep get chance with Netherland on World Cup 2022 Qatar I think better for Depay leaving Barcelona and find team will guarantee minutes playing.

[Alanaz]

From a player perspective, it seems that Barcelona are now looking to win the title again after a few seasons of their absence to win the title because a major reshuffle occurred when Xavi took office, even though it seemed that they did not care about their financial condition.
But obviously in this case Madrid are one step ahead because regardless of now Madrid are starting to regenerate their players and this means their aim is not only for the short term but the long term.

After few poor seasons now Barcelona is doing amazing job even they are in deep trouble with their finances and having salary issues as well with few high salary players which can create deep troubles for them in coming days but with this all they have no intention doing their business for bringing more star players for their next season title which is still not guaranteed because just having star players are never been won for any like as we have few examples and there is no doubt Real Madrid is having much better and strong squad even they are not going for stars in their team but good coaching tactics and amazing planning giving them good success coming season is not easy for both teams, but Barcelona is surely strong but Real Madrid is going with few good advantages.

It seems that for this season the title to look for high-priced players is definitely the upside because back then especially in the Ronaldo era, Raul and even Figo Madrid were always said to be a club with instant players and didn't want to make stages with young players but it seems now it's turned around to Barcelona
Now it's just a matter of whether they will succeed with their current plan by including a lot of great players and of course with a big salary there, or they will fail and make them even more screwed.

[Falconer]

I agree with you, the stability of the Real Madrid squad has been proven by their success in the last season, while Barcelona has just started a new project after a bad period that befell them. After the movement in the transfer market by bringing in top players, Barcelona is considered capable of rivaling Real Madrid or even the squad that Barcelona has now exceeded the strength of the Real Madrid squad. But they "the newly signed players"
need to adapt to Barcelona style of play, while the squad that Real Madrid has is very solid.
However, Real Madrid need to be aware of the rise of Barcelona, ​​the squad owned by Barcelona is not only able to undermine Real Madrid dominance in El Clasico, but will be a threat in the fight for the title.

I wouldn't worry too much about that possibility this season because to be honest Barcelona are a good team too in Laliga. Real Madrid last season were without a challenger and they were dominant at the top of the table until the end of the season, but Barcelona's success in improving their form should be quite positive for Laliga because Real Madrid will not run alone anymore.

The title chances for Real Madrid are almost the same every season, so I don't think it will decrease just because Barcelona have improved. El Clasico is much more interesting because of it, and I hope it's really tense throughout the season.

They want 20 million Euros for a player they signed for free
Leaving is one of the things he has to do instead of staying in uncertainty which will surely make his name dim when he is constantly on the bench.
In this case, several clubs seem to have started to be interested in signing this player, but it might be a little difficult considering that the transfer of Barcelona players sometimes takes a lot of time to negotiate.

[Zackgeno96]

Depay only came to Barcelona because Koeman wanted to, but yes that coach had mismanagement and was a bad coach. Xavi would never have made it to Depay. They would like to get rid of Depay, but of course they still want to receive some money from him. I don't know if 20 million is a realistic amount. He is not a top striker, but 20 million could still be done. Barcelona should focus on setting up their defense as they are all busy with the attacking part in Barcelona. Maybe they'll play without defense.

Unfortunately, inded Depay was not included in Xavi and Barcelona plans, wherever he goes whether it's Juventus or other is the best choice for him than having to sit on the bench a lot. Barcelona defense I think is strong enough for bringing in Kounde, he's a very capable and talented defender. Maybe Barcelona must sell at least 3 or 4 players to stabilize the financial sheet.

[Pulsar77]

I don't think that Xavi has big plans for Memphis Depay in the team now. He has reached his goal by signing Lewandowski already and Depay is just going to be his second choice in case he stays. I think that it would be better for him to leave the team sooner or later. There is an interest from Tottenham and Juventus. He should take the probable offers seriously from this solid teams. As long as they meet his demands I don't expect Barcelona to make things harder.

[sana54210]

What Barcelona need are key players like at Real Madrid. Benzema is an undisputed key player and if it weren't for Benzema, I'm sure Real Madrid would be the same as Barcelona last season.
Lewandowski's presence in my opinion will change Barcelona and Lewandowski's sharpness is undeniable, even though he is 33 years old, one year older than Benzema who is 34 years old. But I'm sure both of them will put on a very good and interesting performance in the upcoming El Clasico.
and By Xavu Hernandez, Robert Lewandowski will be included in Barcelona's game scheme to serve Real Madrid. The composition of the trio of Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Aubameyang could be the best choice on the front lines.

Having a goal machine is definitely important, but not the make or break for a team that you think would be. PSG has Mbappe who is one of the best strikers in the current game, and yet he failed to be like that when it comes to UCL. Because, you need a whole team that could hold their own when the game matters which PSG failed and Madrid did it.

Between rodrigo, vinicius, veterans like kroos and modric, and top of it all of one of the greatest goalkeeping games ever, Benzema only had to score and he was given the chance to by others with great passes. Lewandowski could be great, and he has proved that so far, but he could end up not scoring a lot if the team doesn't give him the ball at the time he wants it like he is used to in Bayern.

Well it would be smart that Memphis Depay leaves Barcelona and finds a club where he would be the main player and actully play . But with him staying in Barcelona he would need to wait for a chance to play. A good move for him would be to move to Tottenham but those are just rumours

[ingiltere]

I wasn't expecting Sevilla to play that bad but that friendly against Arsenal was a disaster for them. It was a bad last rehearsal before the new season. They had drawn with equal teams in the previous friendlies and beat a weak opponent like Angers with plenty of goals, but the Arsenal match gave very bad signals. They saw that they had to go a long way in terms of both defense and attack. In the new season, the realistic target will be to finish at the top three, but it seems difficult in its current form.
