La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[fzkto]

I must say that this is the worst Barcelona team I have ever seen but Xavi came and did his best by keeping them in shape but gone are those days Barcelona will play and make opponents struggle to get even a possession. The Barcelona team did their best by making sure they secure the title with 4 games remaining, congratulations to Xavi and his boys.

For me it was surprising because they started the league sluggish and under a lot of pressure because of the financial move by the board to mortgage a good part of their future in order to move forward. With this league title they can continue as they are, but if they had not won a title this year they would probably have had to start the conversion to a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva (SAD).

In any case, congratulations to Xavi and his team and to the Barcelona fans.

Xavi was able to lead Barcelona out of their crisis after Leo Messi left the team. I don't understand how we can talk about poor results when they managed to become La Liga champions ahead of schedule. Last year they were really bad, failing absolutely every competition, but this year you can see the result of Xavi's work. Especially since his career as a coach is less than five years old.

[rahmad2nd]

I agree. Xavi already made Barca looked a powerful force once again and winning LaLiga is for sure a great achievement for the club but especially for the fans who have wait quite a lot to see Barca lifting a trophy once again.

Maybe next year , City will face Barca as UCL champions and Pep vs Xavi should be the game of the year most likely because I do see City winning UCL this year but I also see Barcelona being a force in UCL next year too.

Congratulations Barcelona you have confirmed the La Liga champion. Actually, I don't support you, but La Liga belongs to you this season. With the shopping you spend, it should be more next season than today. Barcelona should be able to play better and be in the UCL until the Final. At least the arrival of Xavi this season got good results. But they haven't been able to play well in Europe. Next season I hope Real Madrid will win La Liga.

People constantly try to undermine the work that Barcelona has done so far in a very short period since they started their rebuilding process. During the last summer transfer window everybody laughed at Barcelona and concluded they couldn't sign a single player, but they were proved wrong. Some English pundits, sports websites, and newspapers even said Barcelona has gone bankrupt and would be sold or something and a lot of football fans ran with this. Here is Barcelona today standing as La Liga champions and now you are pinning it down on the signings they made and saying they should be in the champions league final with those signings.

While I agree with you that Barcelona should have done better in Europe, I also have to remind you that teams like Chelsea and even Nottingham Forest spent more money than Barcelona yet they both won't be qualifying for the UEFA Conference league, talk more about the champions league.
Barcelona has been run better since the new management took over and it's crystal clear that the club has a future.

They may not win the champions league next season or the season after that, but you can see that they are on the right track to be a top club in Europe again.

ah, do I have to agree with what you say. for me, as a Barcelona fan. I'm happy with what they accomplished. I can only enjoy the moment when they do game after game. it's just that, I have to stay realistic. if, Barcelona currently cannot be said to be in a ready position in the Champions League next season. actually there were a lot of bad matches that they showed, even though in the end they won the match. I mean, not in defense, but more in attack. if, two City players join Barcelona in the summer like Benardo Silva and Gundohan. apparently, Barcelona will be much stronger than it is at the moment. even so, this is still just a rumour. in fact, rumors of Messi are still being linked with returning to Camp Nou. To be honest, I don't really care about the news. for sure, now Barcelona is on the right track.

Furthermore, Xavi must further dig into his potential. I mean, as a Barcelona fan there are still a lot of flaws to show. I know, they are in the stage of returning to existence as they used to be a team to be feared in European competition. unfortunately with the current squad, they won't be able to do it. I'm sure Xavi is aware of this. and hopefully he will bring in players who are truly ideal, even though in exchange there are several names that Barcelona must include on the sale list in the transfer market window later.

I think Rayo will be able to move up the rankings next week. Because the opponent they are facing, namely Espanyol, is not a difficult opponent for Rayo at the moment. Even in the last 5 meetings between Espanyol and Rayo we can see Rayo winning all 5 of these matches. So this time I think it won't be much different.

Easy match for rayo for the next matchday. Espanyol has no chance anymore to participate in la liga next season. Rayo may be making espanyol will be losing its hope. Rayo is far stronger than espanyol. Espanyol was still struggling with its performance. I would not be surprised that to see rayo will bet espanyol It's easy match to predict. I guess it can also become easy money for anyone.

Meanwhile, another team that is ranked higher than Rayo, namely Sevilla who are ranked 10th, will face a quite difficult opponent, namely Real Betis. So Sevilla could have lost points in the match. And so does Osasuna, who is ranked 9th next week, also has a difficult opponent, namely Athletico Madrid. And of course the chance of victory for Osasuna in this match is very slim. this gives an opportunity for Rayo to be able to move up the ranking next week.

Betis gonna win against sevilla. Sevilla needs to divide its focus first against juventus. Sevilla is not performing so well in the la liga. I think that if the result for sevilla vs real betis won't affect the position from sevilla in la liga.
Real betis won't try to waste the chance to get three points. It's caused by betis is still in competition for europa league spot.

I think that sevilla won't care so much about it as sevilla has no chance anymore to compete for europa league spot. Winning europa league is a big deal for sevilla.

Last year they were really bad, failing absolutely every competition, but this year you can see the result of Xavi's work. Especially since his career as a coach is less than five years old.

Barcelona started the season well and I can't say Barcelona started the season slowly, even though at the beginning of the season Barcelona experienced some problems regarding player registration but in the end these problems were resolved quickly and well too. So yes, basically Xavi managed to recover Barcelona, and we also can't relate that to Barcelona's achievements in Europe over the last two seasons because Xavi also still needs time.

I personally will continue to acknowledge the efforts that have been successful in Xavi, because it was not easy to be free from previous big problems such as deteriorating finances and Barcelona's ruined performance when handled by Ronald Koeman. So, winning the La Liga title this season is of course a big success for Xavi, because he managed to recover the team quickly.

[Leviathan.007]

I'm also not happy about this because I really like Madrid more for La Liga But it's worth it for them because Madrid this season have faced many obstacles, especially with stable performance because Benzema is always injured and often in the treatment room.
Talking about Barcelona's financial condition this season is a gamble whether they will try to cut player salaries again and again or indeed let go of some core players because now it will be very funny if they don't ignore this again.

Real Madrid missed out on the title challenge this season because Carlo Ancelotti have his mind focused on UCL and mor3 important competitions, he has one of the best squad in the world of football. They don't always dominate ball possession but they are very good with grabbing victories. Barcelona won la Liga trophy this season but they failed to have an outstanding form in other competitions. Xavi Hernandez is happy for barcá to lift this title but their main objective next season is work on how to perform at top level specifically when they play their fellow level rating clubs.

Ancelotti was lucky in the last week because they lost second place in the league and if the league finished with Real Madrid being in their place on the table while they lose the La Liga title to a team like Barcelona with a young and inexperienced coach like Xavi, Ancelotti could've under more pressure in the season but because the Atletico Madrid lost they got the second place of the table back.

[beerlover]

They were taking the league seriously, but Barcelona were better than them in La Liga this season and that is why they won it, the La Liga is gone now, so Madrid has to try and win the champions league to make it two trophies this season, because they have already won the copa del rey. Many people wrongly say Madrid were not interested in the La Liga, surely they were, they only lost that interest when they found out they cannot win it, and that is what every team does, you go for the trophy that you can win, not the one that is lost.

that's right, I like your thinking because it's true that it doesn't mean giving up the title in La Liga but Real Madrid will take the title from a league that is still quite easy to achieve, such as the UCL and the Copa del Rey, which was achieved by getting a trophy and after this Real Madrid's goal is to win the UCL title. After winning the UCL title, Real Madrid will definitely maintain second place in La Liga and we can see that Real Madrid in La Liga has started to improve its performance with 71 points and Barcelona 85.
maybe if later after the UCL is over and Barcelona suffers a decline in performance I'm sure Real Madrid will be able to catch up with Barcelona points even though the chances are very small but there's nothing wrong with Real Madrid also going after the La Liga title.

Real Madrid got lucky to get the second place back, ATM could have won and kept Real back at third place, this isn't something Real achieved but more like ATM lost and it's their failure that Real will not be third place. However, I agree that after this game, they will focus on the league back because I believe that Real will lose against City, when they do, it means they do not have anything but to be second place to work for.

A season where they are second place at the league, and lost the ucl, and only got the domestic cup is not a good season for Madrid fans, they are too used to winning all the time and they will want some revenge next season and that will be fun to watch, they might be sooooo much better next season when they want to win it all again.

There are still four more games for Real Madrid to secure its position in order to finish in second place, Atletico defeat to Elche has put Real Madrid back under Barcelona with 71 points. Atletico can still shift Real Madrid in the next 4 games if Real Madrid are unable to maintain their performances. Actually, Real Madrid focus is not on where to finish at the end of the season, Ancelotti is setting his mind on the second leg of the Champions League semifinals.

Pressure is on Ancelotti after Barcelona managed to secure the La Liga title, he must be able to win the Champions League title as proof that Real Madrid can still excel despite failing in La Liga. The problem is that the opponents they will face are very difficult to beat, especially when they are playing at home.

[rendravolt]

Valencia is now increasingly away from the relegation zone after last week they managed to beat hosts Celta Vigo with a narrow score of 1-2. Maybe I forgot to mention this a little, but I think it's a good result for Valencia to keep advancing from the clutches of the red zone. Celta Vigo is still finding it difficult to secure their victory and now their position is also quite threatened because Valencia is right under them. But it seems that this week there will be no definite victory for Valencia because they will be against Real Madrid and it seems that their position is still not safe enough if several of the teams below them win.

Pressure is on Ancelotti after Barcelona managed to secure the La Liga title

No doubt that Real Madrid will finish in top four this season even though their focus is now on their Champions league game tomorrow which they need to win. After tomorrow, the important decider game to know if they will continue in the Champions League this season or wait till next season, Real Madrid will know if they will be winning another trophy this season since the have already lost the first place to Barcelona. Congratulations to Barcelona, maybe from next season they can advance from this because they have not won the Last Liga since Lionel Messi left. The money associated with the championship will help the club.

Barcelona defeated Espanyol to win the championship.Barcelona scored 4 goals against a relegation candidate and won a comfortable victory.Espanyol will have to win in the remaining 4 weeks in a row and wait for their rivals to drop points.They have a chance not to be relegated, but now the difficult weeks begin for them.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, lost 1-0 away to a relegated opponent.Atletico madrid can already go to the champions league and they are in a good position.We can say that they don't care much about this match because the point difference is open.For Elche, this win was a last morale boost as they say goodbye to the league.

Elche won 2 out of 4 matches this season in their last 5 matches, what a shame. They should have done better and tried to win the match before La Liga enters the last few weeks, but their form especially defensively and offensively has been bad. Now they no longer have a chance to survive in La Liga even though they managed to collect another 12 points in the next 4 matches.

Espanyol and Getafe still have the chance to survive in La Liga next season even though they are currently in the relegation zone. Espanyol have tough opponents in Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid, Almeria and Valencia, but Getafe tends to be easier.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Sevilla are slowly finding their way back and have been pretty consistent so far. I ignore their few defeats in the last few matches, but this team is much stronger compared to the start of the season. The great thing about Sevilla is that they have been stronger since beating Manchester United in the Europa League quarter-final second leg. Sevilla are more motivated and they have good confidence to qualify for the final.

About the success of Barcelona, ​​I honestly can't hide my joy. I've been very optimistic about Barcelona since the start of the season even though some people seem to insult them for no apparent reason. The best proof is the two titles that Barcelona managed to secure this season and they managed to beat their arch-rivals with a high difference in points.

Sevilla's big motivation is now to win the Europa League because they are only one step away from the final, in La Liga it is not so consistent if you look at Sevilla's appearance from the start of the season to the middle. But they have developed much more in the previous few matches and a total of eight matches have only lost one against Girona, now Sevilla's chance to qualify for the Champions League is only by winning the Europa League.

I'm not a Barcelona fan but I respect them, even though at the beginning of the season they had financial problems for the club and many people doubted their consistency, but Xavi proved it with the two titles they won this season. For La Liga we have to admit Barcelona's greatness but not in the Champions League and Europa League.

Congratulations to Barcelona who managed to quench their thirst to win La Liga after 3 seasons they had to fast for titles. The win over Espanyol is the victory that ensures them claim the title in Week 34 of this, because with the difference in points they have now it is impossible for Real Madrid to catch up with 4 matches remaining this season.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, lost 1-0 away to a relegated opponent.Atletico madrid can already go to the champions league and they are in a good position.We can say that they don't care much about this match because the point difference is open.For Elche, this win was a last morale boost as they say goodbye to the league.

Who would have thought that Atletico Madrid would lose this Week 34 match with their opponents who are in the relegation zone and have even made sure they are not in La Liga next season. This was a very humiliating defeat that they received. In fact, that's not all, Elche didn't win because of luck, but indeed their game can also be said to be better than Atletico Madrid.

[Furious 7]

A season where they are second place at the league, and lost the ucl, and only got the domestic cup is not a good season for Madrid fans, they are too used to winning all the time and they will want some revenge next season and that will be fun to watch, they might be sooooo much better next season when they want to win it all again.

So therefore they now have to try their hardest to make the Champions League their biggest benchmark because if that can't be done then it's pretty clear it's going to hurt a bit because as you said they are too often in a winning state with a prestigious trophy that makes this like demands.
But if it's not like that for this season then this can also be used as a good lesson, especially for those who were last season too confident with the existing squad so they didn't make any changes, especially for the attack line.
This season has been a good lesson because even though Benzema is still very solid when he plays, when injuries always occur, they become shaky in that regard.

Tomorrow will be the determination whether they are still capable of being in the final or not because in my opinion if they can be in the final again and beat Manchester City then the possibility of winning is very big for Madrid but when they lose in the semi-final tomorrow even though there is the Copa del Rey as consolation their lara but I'm sure it won't be satisfying for a club as big as Madrid.

Pressure is on Ancelotti after Barcelona managed to secure the La Liga title, he must be able to win the Champions League title as proof that Real Madrid can still excel despite failing in La Liga. The problem is that the opponents they will face are very difficult to beat, especially when they are playing at home.

It's not that easy I guess. The Champions League is Ancelotti's final challenge this season after failing in La Liga. Manchester City are not going to make the same mistake two seasons in a row and they may have prepared everything to win the second leg.

Ancelotti's failure in La Liga was his own fault because he thought he could rely on all the players available for a full season. There have been a few arrivals, but in any case they have relied too much on certain players like Benzema and Vinicius. It is evident that every time Benzema is absent, Real Madrid has a hard time winning match.

[Leviathan.007]

I don't understand how we can talk about poor results when they managed to become La Liga champions ahead of schedule. Last year they were really bad, failing absolutely every competition, but this year you can see the result of Xavi's work. Especially since his career as a coach is less than five years old.

I think Xavi proved he is a good leader and even a coach to manage his team in a bad situation because when they have financial issues and they can't pay the high amount of salaries to keep the players and hire better players still their team can win the title, during this season Xavi had many injured players and especially midfielders but still, they had a good performance.

There have been a few arrivals, but in any case they have relied too much on certain players like Benzema and Vinicius. It is evident that every time Benzema is absent, Real Madrid has a hard time winning match.

I agree with this. Their initial mistake occurred when Ancelotti did not bring in any attackers in the transfer of players because he had too much faith in Benzema and some easy players like Valverde, Vini and Rodrygo but on the other hand this actually backfired. Indeed, in this case, no one doubts them because they have also played very well so far. But on the other hand, the fitness condition of the players is a serious problem here. Benzema is a good player but he has been in too much of the treatment room this season so even if he is doing very well when he recovers he is also an unreliable hope when he leaves due to his recurring injuries.
This should be a notice for next season because if they continue like this then most likely next season will be the same.

[Smartvirus]

Well, who would have such team ad not rely on them to be enough together him the trophy. I mean, the Real Madrid as it is remains one of the best teams in the world and any coach would have done the same. Like, who deserves the bench and who doesn't looking the attacking force of there first eleven. I take it that at some point, they lost focus on the Laliga and where more UCL concerned.
Else, how could it be that, a team that have been the light of one of the greatest league out there is nothing doing great in there domestic league, its just something that could come out of negligence.

[Odusko]

I think Xavi proved he is a good leader and even a coach to manage his team in a bad situation because when they have financial issues and they can't pay the high amount of salaries to keep the players and hire better players still their team can win the title, during this season Xavi had many injured players and especially midfielders but still, they had a good performance.

Barcelona is far from being poor in performance in this season, even though the club had a rough ending in the last season and was not able to recruit new players which was a result of poor management the club before last season was founded with multiple cases of player de motivation due to financial commitments such as treatment for players injuries and a backlog of salaries.

But all that has changed in this season and at this point, Barcelona is leading in La Liga even leading other too clubs like real madrid who is their closest rival at the moment,  and to this point, Barcelona have done well to deserve our commendation and all thanks to the current coach of the club.

Maybe I forgot to mention this a little, but I think it's a good result for Valencia to keep advancing from the clutches of the red zone.

But it seems that this week there will be no definite victory for Valencia because they will be against Real Madrid and it seems that their position is still not safe enough if several of the teams below them win.

I will so much love Valencia to remain in La Liga, I'd hate to see them relagate. Valencia has been a club I liked since when Villa and David Silva played there so I have always had this sentimental view towards them. They may be four places away from the relagation zone butvt they're only three points away. What's more difficult is that they still have to okay Real Madrid and Real Betis. I'm not saying they can't get points from these teams but it's going to be very difficult for them to do so. Even Mallorca can hurt them.
The good news is the teams below them won't also win all their matches, they'll definitely drop points too.
I hope Valencia makes it.
