La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Docnaster]

It's been 3 seasons Barcelona have not tasted the La Liga title, they can only be runners up. Their financial problems are one of the reasons they can't get a degree. It is a very terrible thing for a team because it will be bad for the balance of the team itself and that has been felt by Barcelona in recent years. This season they have spent a lot of money in the midst of the crisis they are going through to bring in several players to strengthen the team. Xavi Hernandez must prove that what Barcelona has issued has produced good results for them.

Yeah, in last three years they are suffering badly with on and off the field issues which are creating new problems for them specially with heir huge debit issue they are having serious concerns which need quick and positive development from their side even they are having many opportunities.

But, these all are not easy and having good chance to solve things for hem but still in this season they are doing good and have fair chance to win title because improved of quality players and having solid defence helping them in this La Liga season with exit from Champions League is still shocking news for many fans, but now their expectations are high on La Liga title, and we can hope good performance for them for this with just 14 rounds gone, and they are leading, but 24 rounds still left which mean long way to go.

Barcelona on their own tried to solve their problems and remain a big team in the Laliga. Assuming Barcelona is in English Premier League and what happened to them occurred, they may not be able to see top 4 for the next 4 seasons. They are lucky the competition is not very deadly in laliga.
Let Barcelona continue to build and they will gradually have the influence and authority back. No matter how good you are, of you loose your influence, you can do nothing in the Champions League.

In the 2021-22 season, Barca finished 13 points behind La Liga champions Madrid. Also in the 2022-23 season, Xavi addressed several issues. There has been a change in situation as Lewandowski is on fire, but Madrid star Karim Benzema is having difficulties. This season, Real Madrid will need to defend their title against Xavi's Barcelona, who has already warned that his side is going to be a tougher contender than Real Madrid. While Barcelona's exit from Champions League is still shocking, they will now focus on their La Liga title, and now they have high expectations since they are in first place.

Last season Barcelona faced problem with financial crisis and Xavi haven't many option with player composition and made difficult compete Madrid at standing position then have remaining 13 points left end season. Difference financial this season and have much budget make Barcelona superior and consistency on La Liga by managed standing position with 2 points remaining from rival Real Madrid, but Barcelona have poor performance at Champion League failed qualify to round 16 and have to play on Europe League in this season.

Barcelona still have expected for La Liga trophy if can consistency until at the end season, but still need consistency when against big team after several beaten got this season from bigger team like  Real Madrid, Inter and Bayern Munich.

Difference financial this season and have much budget make Barcelona superior and consistency on La Liga by managed standing position with 2 points remaining from rival Real Madrid, but Barcelona have poor performance at Champion League failed qualify to round 16 and have to play on Europe League in this season.

This is not correct and I have explained it in this thread. What Barcelona have done this year is a flight forward by mortgaging a good part of their future, which has given them momentary relief in this league. But the stress of the financial situation is there, and bad results are going to add a lot more pressure than Madrid will be under if they string a few bad results together.

So far Barcelona have held up well, we'll see what happens after this break, which is when things start to become clearer.

Barcelona's strength in defense is still not strong and easily penetrated by opposing forces, therefore the task of Barcelona at this time must be to find defenders who can withstand various kinds of attacks from opponents, while to balance the strengths of Barcelona still requires a process because it is not easy to looking for players that match what is expected.

The option of looking for new players to be placed at the back, Barcelona have time at the start of next year as the transfer window will reopen and all teams can hunt for the players they want and sell the players they no longer need. And because the balance of power in the Barcelona team itself is still not completely good, Barcelona must always fight in every game in the second half of the season in order to maintain its current position.

I'm not sure Barca will spend enough money on players in the winter transfer market. if it's even possible to get the defender they need. it must also be balanced with the sale of players who are not included in Xavi's plans in the remaining half of the season. However, Barca's financial condition has not recovered, and still has debts with players whose salaries are paid in installments.
or with another choice, Barca and Xavi must rotate their strategy to survive with the current condition of the players. if that happens, I doubt Barca's ambition will be to return to the La Liga trophy.

Until the start of the World Cup, Barcelona had been performing well in La Liga. But there were some mistakes in the Barcelona team, maybe Xavi didn't get a chance to work on them for the World Cup. Hopefully after the World Cup, Barcelona will come back stronger.

Barcelona financial condition is indeed being disrupted, but I'm sure the finance workers have to think hard about finding money and maybe there will also be new investors to come in because if Barcelona don't improve their defense then they will find it difficult to win, they already have a very good striker , but only relying on attackers will not be enough because defense and attackers must work together to strengthen the team they have.

But rumors are currently developing, Barcelona has targeted several players in this winter transfer window. Xavi openly wanted a magical boy from Brazil, namely Endrick, to be brought to Camp Nou. Barcelona through their coach, Xavi, confirmed that there had been talks with Endrick's representatives to discuss the transfer of the Brazilian wonderkid.

if Barcelona don't have the financial means to spend in the upcoming transfer market, Xavi will not say so in an interview with ESPN. but it looks like Barcelona will sell some of its players including one of them De Jong, because only De Jong has a transfer value that is quite expensive. apart from that, De Jong is still a target for Man United and now Jurgen Klopp intends to sign him in the upcoming transfer window. if Barcelona doesn't sell some of its players, I'm not sure Barca will be involved in the transfer market next winter to bring newcomers to Camp nou.

It wasn't really Xavi that signed Memphis,  I think it was Koeman who did. So, I don't blame Xavi if Depay doesn't fit into his pattern of play. Meanwhile the same Xavi is struggling to use Lewandowski and Rephilnah very well. It is not a matter of parking all star players together, but knowing how to use them resourceful will pay off.

It's true, Memphis Depay was recruited by Koeman to Barcelona but he has done what is best for Barcelona when Barcelona are still having trouble scoring goals in various matches. Barcelona lacked strikers before they bought Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Adama Traure last season, but now they have many reliable strikers like Lewandowski and others.

If Barcelona's performance can be maintained in the second half of this season, then they will always lead the standings until the end. But it's difficult because the competition in Laliga is very uncertain.

It is obviously going to be difficult for Barcelona to continue performing like this. There is one thing they will have to ensure that they do, and that is to make sure that they are able to win the game against Real Madrid. You know, the team has already digested quite a lot of goals against Real Madrid so far this season.

So, Barcelona will have to continue to stay ahead of Real Madrid. They cannot make a single mistake. Otherwise, they will not be able to stay at the top of the table. It is inevitable that Real Madrid will win the title at the end of the season. But Barcelona does not have any pressure from the Champions League right now so they should be able to continue performing well.

This January will be an opportunity for them to strengthen the depth of the team, one of which is in defense. They had to start from now on who they would target. Because if they delay, they are worried that the players they are after will also have a lot of enthusiasts and they will have to compete even tougher. Preparing as best they can before the second half of the season will show how serious they are about taking the title.

Some players already targeted but i remember if barcelona would prefer to take free transfer player due to the its financial condition that didn't let barcelona to buy new player that was still under contract caused by it must pays lots of money. There are some rumours about barcelona's transfer

Selling players were a must for barcelona to avoid the financial fair play. The only problem is whether barcelona has enough money to buy players or not. It's a common to see that if barcelona will always buy new player with expensive price and then selling its player with very cheap price. The financial clever of barcelona has been reaching its maximum usage and it can't be used anymore. that's pretty interesting to see where barcelona will get money to buy the new players.

There are some rumours about barcelona's transfer

I read in the local media that Barcelona is discussing with the financial fair play of the Spanyo League. According to the rules, Barcelona will no longer be able to buy new players in the winter market. They have spent 103 million euros.

Indeed, I don't understand this rule very well. But maybe they are looking for an opening to be able to make a transfer. For example, selling several players to reduce player spending.

The biggest chance in front of Barcelona now is to become the La Liga champion. Their main goal now is to win the La-Liga title to keep their team balance and financial situation moving. They didn't do well in the Champions League, I think if they don't win the La Liga it will have a negative effect on their team.

Maybe there is a limit to how much money a club can spend on buying new players per season and Barcelona may have exceeded that amount for the season and the only option now can be, either Barcelona will get new players on loans or any another transfer method aside from buying the players in the next transfer windows.

During the last season's transfer window, Barcelona did have problems related to financial fair play because, as the word goes, Barcelona has exceeded the predetermined limit. In fact, players like Jules Koundé and Andreas Christensen if I'm not mistaken, they were not immediately able to play for Barcelona's regular matches at that time because Barcelona had reached the limit so that they could no longer register all their players.
But somehow, they ended up on the Barcelona squad list and I completely forgot about that news.

Also, many players and coaches also commented on the status of Barcelona at that time and one example of a comment like "I don't understand, why a club that has financial problems can still continue to buy luxury players, etc."
There are also those who argue that Barcelona is on the verge of bankruptcy because of the high amount of debt but disproportionate income and in fact, many players are willing to cut their salaries, etc. This condition is indeed something that is not normal, if Barcelona continues to force buying expensive players, then to be honest I'm worried about Barcelona's current situation because they are still very messy.

Barcelona will be just fine with their present squad since Barcelona spent a lot of money in the last transfer .market and got a handful of good players already in the club. Just for them to get the right management and motivation .

Barcelona have no choice than to just manage what they have.  To me Barcelona players are doing great in their performance.  For the fact they don't have fund to get new players it is better they keep on using the players they have. Atleast Barcelona have a player like Lewandowski who can try his best to score goals.

I don't know what can be discussed there: Barcelona has a deficit budget, Barcelona has debts to the players. If this was an adequate business, then Barcelona would already have received a ban on any new spending until it resolves these issues. But we see some discussions and "agreements" all the time.

But in my opinion Barcelona should sell players in the next transfer market, other than to earn money. Previously they were the most wasteful in the summer of 2022, now with many players of good quality Barcelona had to reduce the space to be able to make Xavi focus on placing players. Barcelona efforts to bring in many players for the Champions League only, but they unsuccessful at there.

I agree with you that Barcelona should sell some of the players they currently have. They have to cut their expenses by selling players who in my opinion are not that important in the current Barcelona squad. Not that they are not good players but if they are not able to compete with the players who are the first choice, then Xavi must bring in players who can develop more to compete in their current squad.
