La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Rengga Jati]

In my view, than Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid have a bigger chance of winning La Liga. If your prediction will most likely lead to two La Liga giants, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona, then I am more confident that Barcelona will win the Spanish La Liga even though the Catalan team in the first match won 1 point because they were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano.

Seriously Atletico has a bigger chance than Real Madrid to win La Liga? from what sides and factors you say that? I don't deny that Atletico Madrid has been good this season and may also have a chance. At least they will be in the top 3. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and also Atletico Madrid are indeed candidates. However, when compared between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, in terms of players (all lines), solidity, management, coach, and way of playing, I think Real Madrid is far superior to Atletico Madrid.

I judge from the way they play, from the solidity including from the coach's side, Atletico Madrid are able to outperform Real Madrid this season. La Liga has only been running one game, but they already looked solid on all fronts when they beat Getafe. Unlike Real Madrid, who won with difficulty when dealing with Almeria, even though they still have a lot of games to play.

It is too early to judge from only one match, right? If you think about the lack of solidity and how Real Madrid performed in their first match compared to Atletico Madrid, why do you still think that Barcelona will win the match? While we know how Barcelona performed in the first match.
A solid performance cannot be only seen from one match, we can see it from the entire players of the club, Real Madrid is like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who exactly have great players, especially for the attacking lines. The difference may be in their midfielders and also defense. That is why I said that the three clubs are strong competitors. But, why I still believe that Real Madrid is the highest candidate to win is because they have a more stable team with solidity as in the last season.
But once more,let's enjoy how the matches will be later because this season will be exactly much mor einteresting than previous season.

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.

Although Real Madrid did not win by a large goal difference against Almeria, even left behind first and in the last 30 minutes could score a goal,
at least Real Madrid won 3 points in their first game. In contrast to Barcelona who played at home only managed to get one point and it was not
a good result for Barcelona. But we can't judge too far, because this is only the first round of La Liga. What is needed to win the La Liga trophy is
not only playing well at the start of the season, but how to be consistent throughout the season. So for Barcelona fans there is no need to worry
Barcelona got off to a bad start, the most important thing is that Barcelona can improve their performance in the next game.

Still open for Barcelona to win the La Liga trophy, and for Real Madrid they also have to be careful lest they settle for two points ahead of rival
Barcelona. Real Madrid should be able to win even more in the next match, and don't forget that in La Liga there is Atletico Madrid who must also
be considered as a candidate for winning the La Liga trophy. Moreover, Atletico managed to achieve satisfactory results when they beat Getafe
by a difference of 3 goals. We'll see if this season Atletico Madrid can surprise us again by winning the La Liga trophy, as they managed to do
in the 2020/2021 season.

Until the end, the result of the match Getafe vs Athletico Madrid was 0 - 3
Morata really showed his skill and they were awesome in this match. They could possess the ball position very efficiently. I thought that Athletico Madrid wouldn't be this good this season. But in fact, Athletico really still has the power and consistency to play amazingly. Salutes and congratulations to Athletico Madrid.

After all this is only the first game for them, so I don't think I'll make that conclusion at this point. They still have a lot of games to play and that consistency will still be questioned when the opponents are Real Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona and a few others. It's good that they won their away game today but of course I'm not going to jump to that conclusion right now.

Sure, this is their first match and too early for considering their performance. But at least, they did well in the beginning so that they can be more motivated. Yes, this season will be more interesting and challenging, especially for the three clubs: Real Madrid, Barcelona, and also Atletico Madrid. These three will be the top competitors for the La Liga trophy this season. Although Barcelona still couldn't give their best in the first match, it doesn't mean that they cannot be challneigng because we all know their squad right now are more awesome. And they only need certain times to make the club more solid.

[kawetsriyanto]

The squad owned by Real Madrid is not much different from last season, they still rely on old players who have the ability, ~

Yep, there is no significant change in Real Madrid squad. But that makes them play solidly as they are already together for a long time and they know the characteristics of each other. Well, there are many players who have the ages 30 years above on the main lineups. However, they still performed well and they don't have a problem with their fitness/physic. So, I think it is okay.

Atletico Madrid have always been title contenders and they are competing with 3 other teams including Barcelona, ​​Sevilla and Real Madrid. But I think they failed more often at the end because they struggled to maintain consistency and that was taken advantage of by the other teams to make the gap better.

You are right, inconsistency is the main problem of Atletico Madrid. They often decreased their performance significantly toward the end of the season. But I think Simeone has already taken many lessons about this. So, Atletico Madrid may not repeat the same mistake. I am sure with their current squad, they have a chance to maintain good performance until the end of the season.

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
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.

[nurilham]

Morata is the most interesting player to me so far. We don't see him scoring regularly normally so I wonder how much he can keep this up. Atletico Madrid wanted to keep him for this season and they must be very contented with this performance. Atletico Madrid were successful about keeping Getafe away from having shots on target also.

Sure, he is an interesting player. He scored 2 goals in the first match in La Liga this season, now he becomes one of the most productive strikers in La Liga. Although it is too early to judge Morata to have a good season with Atletico Madrid, scoring 2 goals in the first match indicates he finds his best again in scoring. I don't know what you mean by scoring regularly or normally, I think he scores as other strikers do. I really appreciate his performance yesterday since it ensures us that he is still one of the top strikers in the world.

[blue Snow]

we will see the game barcelona the against real sociedad. maybe we can wait for barcelona starting eleven in that match whether Xavi will reserve De Jong in the match against sociedad or he will be fielded from the early minutes. Xavi really has to develop a stronger formation in the next match in order to get full points. he must see the downside of the early game so that he can devise a more powerful tactic against sociedad. Lewandowski seems to need a little adjustment to Xavi tactics in his first game, even though he has not yet shown himself to be a dangerous striker in front of the opponent's goal because several of his shots could be broken in the previous match. I think Lewandowski should be able to score in the match against Sociedad.

Maybe only for the first match, as we can see the 4-star field is sitting nicely on the bench, this is because the squad didn't fit yet between the old squad. But, as we can see, Barcelona very dominates the game, so I think they're good at collaboration and improvement, they just can't execute the ball from the center and I feel because de Jong and Aubameyang is not playing.

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.

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.

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

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.
