La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

I don't think Atletico Madrid's squad is weak. They have a lot of stars and talented players in their squad. However, Atletico Madrid's performance has been poor. I would say that their match strategy is not good so Atletico Madrid is not able to perform well. Diego Simeone should change his match strategy. He has been applying the same match strategy for a long time. Thus a team cannot play consistently well. Because the opponent is already aware of Atletico Madrid's match strategy. I would say Madrid management should change their coach.

They don't have bad players indeed. Like I said, it is all about the strategies.

Simeone even thought of quitting his job last season after having a bad run for a long time. But after starting to recover he must have changed his mind. However things aren't going on well now as well. The same struggles are going on for them. I think that Simeone can make this decision for real this time before Atletico Madrid board take any action about this situation. Maybe they will need a long time to adapt to a new system but it will worth it as long as they find the right coach.

Messi can not be separated from Barcelona because of his brilliant achievements at the time in Barcelona uniform. It's something that can't be denied, it's just that now many are comparing it. Even when Barcelona is down, Messi's name is always a conversation. This is not good for Barcelona, because if it continues then there will be no progress. I hope those who always talk about Messi move on and have more faith in Barcelona now.

Messi and Barcelona have a strong history and connection, it was so sad to see both parties separated due to financial issues which forced the club to do an overhaul of the heavy wage players which Messi unfortunately happens to fall under this category. Xavi has said before that he wants Messi in his team, there is a possibility Messi could return to the club and end his career with the club.

Messi name has become big in Barcelona. even i don't think when messi is no longer in barcelona. I used to support Barcelona because there was Messi in it. but after messi out i became confused. but in the end i'm still a barcelona fan even without messi. because I believe barcelona will continue to give birth to stars in the world of football. but it would be great if messi returned to barcelona. although I've heard the news that it will happen in the next season. when messi runs out of contract with his current club. but I don't think it will be that easy.

I heard if Busquet's contract is about to expire. Next year in June, there is no news yet where he will go. But there seems to be an MLS club that wants him. If I'm not mistaken Inter Miami. Until now, there is also no word on whether Barca will use it again or not.
Meanwhile regarding De Jong, he is negotiating with his salary. Due to last season's problems Barcelona had debts to be paid in agreements during the pandemic. Perhaps this is a testament to De Jong's love for Barcelona. He is willing to negotiate the amount of salary that should be His right.

For Busquest, I think Xavi will try to hold him for another year or two if he will continue managing Barcelona. He appreciate him and unless he drops a lot, I assume his contract will be extended.
For De Jong, I don't know how barcelona is thinking but I think that both parties will agree a salary cuts. The problem is the salary that De Jong owes from Barca. Will they cut his salary and reimburse him?

If de Jong wants to stay in barcelona he should cut his salary. I think Barcelona is happy with his performance. What makes them think is his salary. If he does not lower his Salary and asks for the same money, we keep hearing news that he may be transferred to another team for a long time.

He has agreed to cut his salary and he has stated that if he won't leave from barcelona. Laporta was also making him try to stay in barcelona. He will not go anywhere. In my opinion if that's clear that if he will not go to the somewhere until his contract will be ended.
I think that's just another rumour. The fact that if de jong didn't wanna go to the another club. some clubs have been offering him lots of money.

Laporta and Barcelona did not respect De Jong who contributed a lot for them since his transfer to Nou Camp. I don't support Barcelona and Laporta with their activities and if we do in-depth research, we will know it is not incident at all. It is how they treat their players, unfairly from Suarez, Messi to De Jong.

They did not only request to cut off salary of De Jong but also made pressure to reject pay salary to the player as well as refuse to give him chance to leave the club. De Jong did not join them to play for free, no salary. As a big club, reject to pay salary for players after many months is sucked.

I think that's just another rumour. The fact that if de jong didn't wanna go to the another club. some clubs have been offering him lots of money.

I don't think so. De Jong was not happy with Barcelona treatment for him. In addition, he knows his position in the club is not safe and wanted to find another club with which he can have a safe position to play regularly. He wanted it for the World Cup with the Dutch. However, now he has to accept to stay there and if he wants to leave, let's wait for the end of World Cup and winter transfer.

I think MLS is the most likely destination for Busquets as we have seen before most football legends and old boys moving to the MLS before retirement more like a league for players due for retirement so seeing Busquets move to the MLS won't be a surprise to me at all. Busquets is such a fine player and which ever league he finally finds himself and which ever club he will definitely be a good addition to the team and will improve the squad.

Since last season Busquets actually interested went to MLS because Barcelona or him don't have any plan to extended contract and i have to say his era has been ended in Barcelona and he has spend 14 years in Barcelona and at that time he has good trio with Iniesta and Xavi which makes Barcelona get plenty of trophies so he might be considers as Barcelona legend moreover during his career he only playing at this team however next destination club for him is Inter Miami and Barcelona don't have to worried regarding his replacement because they have Pedri and Gavi as one of the most talented midfielder for Barcelona

[RILWAN]

I read in some news that De Jong was withdrawn by the Netherlands at that time to anticipate that he wouldn't get injured even though he did have a problem but I don't think he was too bad when compared to Araujo and Kounde because they reportedly have to rest a few weeks to recover which means there are several matches which they have to miss.

The major issue between De jong and Barcelona is the salary if not the club is satisfied with his performance and contribution to the club this season and if I am in his position I will opt in for a salary cut and once that is done increase the performance so that in the next season the value of De Jung will increase if he remains in Barcelona or decides to move to other club but for now salary cut is very important to the player future.

Xavi has said before that he wants Messi in his team, there is a possibility Messi could return to the club and end his career with the club.

Xavi has already told Barcelona officials about his desire to bring Messi back to Barcelona, of course Xavi wish can be fulfilled because Messi and Barcelona have a good history of relationship and the closeness of Xavi and Messi is much more than just friends. I think there is no reason for Messi to refuse an offer from Xavi because the closeness of the two Barcelona legends is very close, can't imagine if Messi and Lewandowski are a duo in Barcelona front line. Obviously this will be the initial turning point of Barcelona success with Xavi.

For De Jong, I don't know how barcelona is thinking but I think that both parties will agree a salary cuts. The problem is the salary that De Jong owes from Barca. Will they cut his salary and reimburse him?

If de Jong wants to stay in barcelona he should cut his salary. I think Barcelona is happy with his performance. What makes them think is his salary. If he does not lower his Salary and asks for the same money, we keep hearing news that he may be transferred to another team for a long time.

I think the reason that made De Jong want to stay at Barcelona isn't that Barcelona still owes him, but because he really just wanted to play for Barcelona and he has high loyalty to Barcelona. So most likely he would be willing if his salary was cut. We all know that De Jong turned down offers from Man United and Chelsea which both teams are even willing to pay off Barcelona's arrears to him but De Jong still insists on not leaving Barcelona. I think if Barcelona had a solution to their financial crisis then they wouldn't have let De Jong go.

That's the main reason why he wanna stay at barcelona rather than going to the another club. I have seen him was saying the same thing several matches. For a common player getting a big cut for their salary would be a disaster but de jong can accept it caused by he loves with barcelona no matter what happened with the club. It seems like when the club bankrupt and the de jong wanna go to the another club.
I know he is very loyal with barcelona.

This happens when you love a club. De Jong really loves Barcelona. Everyone is quite surprised by his decision. Where other players wait to move to the club, De Jong insists on staying at the club when he gets the chance. In fact, what happens when there is true love.

If Messi eventually comes to Barcelona back that means Barcelona has finally gotten a complete squad.  If xavi succeds in bringing Messi  that means it so certain for Barcelona to win the Laliga title and also to win the Champions League.  Messi's  was so used to Barcelona, Messi and lewandowski will be a good combination.

Won't that put the likes of Raphina and Dembele in a bad plays?
A legend is a legend yes but Xavi shouldn't do any to affect young players game at any way
Unless they have to use Messi in thr number 10 position that would make more sense.

I agree with you. De Jong loves the club Barcelona. He is very loyal to the Barcelona club. So he remains at Barcelona despite receiving many good offers. Other clubs agreed to pay higher wages to De Jong. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, cut De Jong's wages further due to their financial crisis. However, Barcelona needed a talented midfielder like De Jong. De Jong's performance has been good and consistent in almost every match.

It should have been a big wish from Xavi, but the problem is that Messi cannot return to Barcelona easily because Barcelona's financial condition is not good. Perhaps Messi can consider several scenarios if he wants to return to Barcelona and that is on a free transfer from PSG and accept a lower pay cut.

Yes, thinking about that scenario is possible for Messi to do if he wants to return to Barcelona, ​​but he has to wait until his contract with PSG expires at the end of the season. I think Messi is safe to return to Barcelona next season, but that's just an uncertain hope.

even if it happens I don't think Messi can contribute as much to Barcelona as he has done before.
Messi is now 35 years old, of course, stamina and performance are very influential because of his old age.
the desire to return to bring Messi is inseparable from what he has done before for Barcelona.

but if you see Messi's performance which continues to decline with PSG, it is not impossible that Messi will return to the club that has raised his name Barcelona to give several seasons before deciding to retire.

why Xavi and Laporta want Messi to return to Barca Because Barca currently have a deadly target like Lewandowski and now Barca are just waiting for Messi to fill the position of playmaker who organizes attacks and provides assists. How terrible it would be if Messi was at Barca this season as a playmaker and assist provider for Lewandowski. Of course this will be a threat to opponents in the league and in the UCL.

True, as we have known before, and to this day de jong is still wearing a barcelona costume rather than accepting an offer from manchester united or chelsea.
Regarding the salary-related issue, some news reports from both sides have agreed. negotiations between the Barcelona management and De Jong have already been held. now, both parties only need to formalize the agreement with various conditions set out in the new clause.

IMO, if referring to what you said.
I believe that De Jong's loyalty cannot be separated from Xavi's role, when the transfer saga of De Jong surfaced, Xavi was very intense in talking to De Jong. he often discusses with de jong regarding current conditions.
because xavi still needed the services of de jong, in the end de jong agreed to cut his salary and until now de jong is still wearing the barcelona costume.

[Fesatmas]

There are two teams that can still keep them from losing, and these two teams are teams that are used to competing for the title, Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is something we have seen in the La Liga table for a long time. But now it's back with new colors from Barcelona especially. This is good news for Barcelona fans, but not for Real Madrid. Because now they will not be as comfortable as last season when they managed to become champions.

Yeah, Messi is way too old for any meaningful contribution to Barcelona. He parts away with Barcelona under a good term, now if he comes back and things get worst, that image would break all the goodwill between him and Barcelona. Let him end his career as a hero, don't talk about bringing him back when he isn't in his top form anymore.
For Messi, after he can't keep up with PSG anymore, I say he either retires or back to Argentina and play for the local League there.
