La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tulusikhlas]

Real Madrid started better than Barcelona. However Barcelona's performance was still good actually. They just struggled about finishing up their attacks with a goal. Maybe it was a really bad luck. But we would find out about it by next week games. Real Madrid might have lost points too by the way because they had to make a comeback from a 1-0 disadvantage.

Yes, so far each team has had one match because there are some new players so they need more matches to gain cohesiveness

Real Madrid is still above Barcelona for now. With Real Madrid's composition so convincing, they are also made easier because they don't have to bother overhauling the game because most of them are players who have been in the team for a long time. While Barcelona of course must create harmony between players first.

Yes, so far each team has had one match because there are some new players so they need more matches to gain cohesiveness
Especially for Barcelona I believe they will take their place at the top of the table at least between 1-2
Barcelona have missed 3 titles in a row this season should be the right time to get back with new squad.

Barcelona must try to perform better and win more every game if it wants to occupy a place at the top of the table. Because the competition this season has gotten stronger, even Rayo Vallecano was able to play in a draw at home to Barcelona. Even though the match was a very good opportunity for Barcelona, but it was a pity that Barcelona were not able to win at home.

But we would find out about it by next week games. Real Madrid might have lost points too by the way because they had to make a comeback from a 1-0 disadvantage.

That proves that how good result from the pre season can't be used as a valid data to know how performance from the club in the league when it has started. We may see the result from the next match. If barcelona will always get the same result from the previous match and it needs to do analyzation to the its strategy again. That proves real madrid's squad is far capable compared with barcelona in the various aspects.
Im thinking about real madrid was not playing serious at pre season match

It's impossible to happen. yeah barcelona has so many good players and can this club pay them all with the current condition? I meant yeah you have so many good players but if it will be only last for a few years and then is it good?
Barcelona has sold many of its assets. I didn't even think if that will exist for next years from now.

[Fara Chan]

that means buying lots of new players didn't mean these players can adapt with the situation easily. It needs a very hard time for people to aware if those new players are also need more time. Barcelona is wanna buying more player and i saw that if some rumour appeared about that. I think that from two match rotations already made by the perfect rotation and strategy has not yet happened.

Not yet adapted perfectly in my opinion, because if you look at the match, their new players have not been able to contribute, plus Barcelona's current condition is faced with various financial problems, there are several players they have who have not finished with salary issues, so the impact on the club is quite visible, Xavi required hard work for now, a lot of rights that must be addressed, from defenders to strikers they have, and it will probably be difficult in the near future all of that can be overcome

Real Madrid is still above Barcelona for now. With Real Madrid's composition so convincing, they are also made easier because they don't have to bother overhauling the game because most of them are players who have been in the team for a long time. While Barcelona of course must create harmony between players first.

I think some people are also aware of that now because it is clear that Real Madrid still has a good performance and also a very good strength so Real Madrid still has the potential to win another La Liga title. And what you said I think it's also true that Barcelona must create good cooperation within the team in order to get good results in every game this season.

Real Madrid have the advantage in the line-up that hasn't changed much. With that, of course, Real Madrid doesn't have to bother making adjustments. because they are used to the existing line-up.
different from Barcelona. despite having a lot of good players. but still with a new line-up. then it will need adjustment as well. so that maximum performance will not appear immediately. because it takes time to adjust the line-up. and the players also need to get used to the new arrangement.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

@Don_Pedro_Dinero, Yes, I agree with you. Barcelona management is basically gambling with money and with the future of the club. I mean even a dumb person could understand that there is no way a club should make 150 million transfers when they are in 1.5 billion dollar debt.

It is my psychology that when I have debt, I want to repay it and not borrow more money. I just hope that Barcelona will be able to perform well and generate enough money. And obviously, for that, they will have to win. But I highly doubt that they will be able to beat Real Madrid in La Liga and also will be able to win the Champions League.

Well, there are times when it makes sense to go into debt. Most people take out a mortgage to buy a house. Many companies use debt to finance investments as well, but the more indebted ones tend to have more problems.

It is one thing to go into debt for a relatively short period of time, for a small percentage of your income, and another to make a desperate gamble in order to save the disastrous situation you are in, mortgaging your future excessively.

Real Madrid have the advantage in the line-up that hasn't changed much. With that, of course, Real Madrid doesn't have to bother making adjustments. because they are used to the existing line-up.

I agree, although Barcelona don't have much time to adjust the line-up. Real Madrid are much calmer in this respect.

Yes, that is the current situation that we can see, but if we look at it from another angle then of course we will say that Real Madrid's strength will also be their weakness. Why? Yes, because with a squad that doesn't change much, the opponent will realize what kind of scheme they will play. So the opponent will be easier to anticipate because they already know very well what they are like. Unless Ancelotti has a strategy that the opponent can't guess.

oh it's true what you say. because not many changes have occurred at the Real Madrid club then it is also beneficial for the opposing team. because the opposing team must be easy to analyze the real madrid game strategy with the same arrangement. yes you are right. In addition to having advantages, this can also be a point of weakness. but of course Real Madrid also has other strategies that usually surprise the opposing team. even with the same line-up.

with not many changes happening in the Real Madrid squad I think they can be more solid and it's true that with not many changes it will also be a weakness if the coach doesn't have a special strategy against opponents who can anticipate Real Madrid's game as usual, but I have no doubts about it. Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, in my opinion, a team that is already solid is better looking for chemistry, in contrast to Barcelona, which brings in a lot of new players and takes longer to adapt.

As I said the only way this is going to work out for Barcelona is obviously if they absolutely triumph in everything, and I mean everything. They will have to win in La Liga and they will also have to win the Champions League Trophy. Moreover, they also have to win other things that are available to them so that they can at least get a part of the money back that they owe. I really don't think that was a wise idea but they have already done it so no point talking about it. I just hope they will be able to perform well. They did not start off well this season though, but I believe they will get better.

Madrid has gone through a fairly perfect start in all competitions, although the majority still retained the squad last season but madrid was still able to maintain its consistency in winning, the cohesiveness and chemistry that had been closely intertwined between the players could of course be a strong reason for madrid current performance, but I think barcelona can also soon become a strong team if they can quickly solve their current problems, actually the many star players that are in barcelona won't be too difficult for Xavi to unite them in cohesiveness and also the style of play because basically the new players barcelona has a game that fits Xavi criteria.

Real Madrid did not make any changes to their squad. Because they are not interested in wasting money. They kept the squad unchanged from the previous season as well. And consistently performing well. If Rodrygo, Vinicius and Benzema are in form, Real Madrid will be favorites for the title again this season. As Vinicius became more experienced, his performance gradually improved. And so despite not making any changes to the squad, Real Madrid is still a strong team this season.

We are talking about a stable team that is in the performing phase, so it doesn't surprise me at all.
You are saying something obvious, definitely to +1 for your signature campaign.
You are making a comparison between a stable team that won everything last season and a team that is trying to rebuild itself, it seems so obvious to me that it is almost trivial.

Yes, Real Madrid coach continue with his last season strategies to alert other teams that they are well prepared to keep the victory going in this season. Real Madrid players will like to do more in this season than last season, because their coach is seriously working to introduce new strategies that will make them more stronger, since many teams are well prepared to break the record to stop them not to achieve this season title. I don't think, Barcelona can withstand Real Madrid in this season, because they found it difficult to win their last match despite the new squads their management has brought in into the team in this season.

It's not a fact because we know Madrid always surprises in the transfer market but not for this season there are 2 reasons
not having enough money or not competing to get targeted players like Mbappe , overall Madrid squad is still strong but they have a weakness in defense While Barcelona is a ticking time bomb that can be great at times when players have found the right style of play.

[rahmad2nd]

Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, in my opinion, a team that is already solid is better looking for chemistry, in contrast to Barcelona, which brings in a lot of new players and takes longer to adapt.

newcomers to the barcelona squad have been playing pretty solid since their pre-season game, it's just that they didn't get a goal in their first game against getafe. The inaugural match was not too favorable for Barcelona with a draw, but not so bad than accepting defeat. we can see in the match next week, barcelona will travel to real sociedad.

in contrast to real madrid, from the start madrid has had a solid squad, no wonder they still dominate in their inaugural match.
the transfer window is not closed yet, however, carlo ancelotti is not interested in joining this summer transfer window, i think ancelotti is quite optimistic about his squad.
Even so, La Liga has just begun, the battle has just begun in the race for the top of the standings.

its wrong to said Madrid did not have the money to sign players in this transfer window.
I might feel that Ancelloti still likes their current squad with the majority of its young players.
At the moment there are some vacancies and Ancelloti knows about it so they brought in Rudiger even on a free there as a replacement for Sergio whose role is still irreplaceable.
There is also Tcouameni who could be a pretty good asset for them in the future.

It becomes very natural because indeed they have only played a few games with Barcelona so it is quite natural that they need more adaptation.
But indeed this salary issue is still something that is difficult for me because regardless of anything, it is clear that they will definitely have problems in this case sooner or later because it is impossible for players to stay silent after several months of not getting a salary.
