La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ryu_Ar1]

What you say in this case is true because Xavi has nothing to do with finances because he is just a coach who is only tasked with training the players there and of course for financial tasks and other matters there is management. But on the other hand we also have to realize that when management has problems, then this will indirectly have an impact on those below in this case of course about coaches and players because they will get an impact that could be very significant.
For example, when a few seasons ago they also experienced a very deep crisis and made their performance destroyed just because management was incompetent to take care of their conditions. Another example is experienced by Chelsea in the EPL this season because they were also destroyed when there was a major overhaul in terms of management.

If Barcelona cannot overcome this, it is not impossible that with their current overpaid condition they will return to selling several players including their current star players which of course this will be a fairly risky problem for them next season.

So far I think Barcelona has several options to manage their finances and solve their financial problems, but I'm not interested in going too far into that because maybe it will never be accurate.

One of the things I'm thinking about is streamlining the squad which can still be an option so that Barcelona doesn't have player salary insubordination. Also they can still lower the salaries of the players and only aim for a few free players on the market to build up their squad, but can also sell some other valuable assets if that's needed.

Downsizing the squad is indeed necessary at the moment but if you reflect on last season when Xavi tried his best to keep his players then this will also be a little complicated although it is likely that they inevitably have to be like that now with the conditions of inflating player salaries because it would be impossible to continue to force salary reductions for now as they have always done over the past few seasons.
But indeed if such a thing happens then it is also possible for them to have a different condition of performance.

At the moment Alba and Busquets seem certain to leave and some players who have contributed little to Barcelona are already on the list but when I think they will also still make some sales to their potential players because it is unlikely that they will be passive for transfers this season.

Please calm down, it's just about some missed opportunities. But I believe that now Barcelona is not very interested in winning this match after winning the title, so this is Sociedad's chance to collect some points. Barcelona are just trying to defend their home record, but I don't think they will play dirty today just to win Sociedad.

So I want to be as calm as possible and I see that Barcelona does not give a single sh*t about at least scoring one goal as they are now 2 down but I insist Lewandowski is losing occasions and he lost one again where he usually runs away in such 1-1 action.Most probably Barcelona players have been celebrating all this week and now when it comes to game day they are physically in a really bad shape as this game is showing and it will be very difficult for them to find motivation to play and try to give the fans something to be proud of in this game,nevertheless the fans are staying to celebrate after the game as most likely in such situation in another scenario they would be leaving the stadium early.

[Furious 7]

A really suspicious Barcelona which does not look like they want to score goals,especially Lewandoski which had a clamorous occasion which he scores from that position 100% of the time and he didn't this time.Real Sociedad meanwhile is making occasion after occasion for goal and it is only thanks to Barcelona keeper that the result is 0-1 still,it should be 0-3 or 0-4 and I don't know what Barcelona is doing.Dembele is doing great runs and shows but Barcelona misses that final touch to score the goal,it was supposed to be a party for Barcelona at home tonight while they are going toward their first defeat of the season before their fans in La Liga.

Please calm down, it's just about some missed opportunities. But I believe that now Barcelona is not very interested in winning this match after winning the title, so this is Sociedad's chance to collect some points. Barcelona are just trying to defend their home record, but I don't think they will play dirty today just to win Sociedad.

The game is almost over and now Sociedad is ahead with the current scoreline of 0-2. Many opportunities were missed and indeed it seems that for the current conditions they are just playing passing on the field without anything interesting and 3 points are only left for Sociedad at this time.
This result is of course very good for Sociedad because indirectly they are much safer with a 5 point gap from Villarreal while securing a position in the Champions League zone because Betis is no longer possible to catch up with them with 3 matches remaining and a 10 point gap this time even though it is for Virralleal actually it is still possible to make a reversal there but of course this is a little difficult.

[swogerino]

I am happy that Lewandoski just scored as this clearly cleared all of my doubts and those were just missed chances for him,at least I won 2 out of my three bets,I won both teams to score yes and over 2.5 goals which were nice bets to bring up my balance for betting a bit as there are quite some nice games tomorrow from the La Liga.

Overall though this game from Barcelona has been in the same level as those in Champions League this year which means there they got only 4 from 18 points and this means they have played really bad tonight,nevertheless they gave a goal to the fans and they will be celebrating right after this game finishes now.

[nurilham]

A really suspicious Barcelona which does not look like they want to score goals,especially Lewandoski which had a clamorous occasion which he scores from that position 100% of the time and he didn't this time.

I don't think it is suspicious, we can understand if Barcelona didn't play seriously because they officially already won the La Liga. Lewandowski also leads the top scorer table with 4 goals, so it won't be a big problem although he fails to score in this match. Sure, every fan expects Barcelona to win and Lewandowski to score, but this match isn't easy because they are against Real Sociedad which tries to secure its position in UCL zone. Real Sociedad has a bigger motivation to win, that's why they can play surprisingly.

*Update: Lewandowski scored 1 goal (minute 90')

The match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad is definitely important for Villareal if they want to get the fourth place in the table because there is a high chance for Barcelona to win the game against Sociedad and give a chance to Villareal for the champions league ticket but right now Real Sociedad scored one goal and that's bad news for Villareal.

The match is almost over and Real Sociedad is leading with 1 goal. I think Real Sociedad will win the match, not enough time for Barcelona to score more goals. Current scores: Barcelona 1-2 Real Sociedad. I assume Real Sociedad will be safe in UCL zone (top 4).

So, I also feel that there is something strange about Barcelona in this match. Because there are too many opportunities that would normally be goals but they miss. this is too unusual. The first half only resulted in a 0-1 lead over Real Sociedad. I hope in the second half the Barcelona players can be more serious about getting back on the scoresheet and winning the match. if not then it means I have to give up my bet for this fight. Lewandowski and Dembele I think they are usually better than this. I hope they don't let me down in the second half.And actually the Barcelona front line players at the moment seem to have a pretty good and comfortable game. Rapinha also played well. It's just that Barcelona needed their usual good finishing touch to score.

They couldn't convert those chances they had during the first half now they are finding ways to unlock Real Sociedad who has been defending very well since the start of the second half. Take is a promising lad, he's been taking Jordi Alba on a steady run. Missing goals have been seen by both sides. But the changes made shows that Xavi Hernandez wouldn't want to lose this game especially at home. Barcelona are not pressured but they should get to share the points even if they can't win the game.

Now the game is in the minutes of added time which means the game will be over soon. and the score still shows 1-2 and Real Sociedad looks like they will bring full points from this match. I am quite frustrated with this result. And I think all the Barcelona supporters who filled the Camp Nou Stadium also felt my annoyance. Especially after seeing Lewandowski brought down but it turned out that the referee did nothing with the violation. But the main problem is that Barcelona lack motivation to win this game. And this is what allows Real Sociedad to play with a defense that is quite comfortable in this match. as I write this match has ended with a score of 1-2. with the win going to Real Sociedad. With this result Real Sociedad can feel more secure in holding a ticket to the UCL.

[DiMarxist]

Both teams played and struggle very well, Girona performance in the match today was perfect, Yeremi pino take the first card of the day and first assist of the day. Villarreal scored their first goal at nine minutes and Girona equalized the goals in twenty four minutes first half end with 1:1, and the second half was tough too but Villarreal luckily score last minute goal to take the victory over Girona. Last minute goal ninety four minutes goal, I was not expecting that, I thought the game will be draw, but Villarreal takes the points

Real Sociedad won over Barcelona 1-2 and now they are o most for sure in the champions league next season. What a win over the champions of laliga. Barcelona didnt need anything and Real Sociedad took that and won a big match they just need three points more.

Villarreal vs Girona, currently entering the second half and the score is 1-1. Both teams played equally strong. not many opportunities were created by both teams. Villarreal took the lead early on, and in the second half, they looked to take the lead again. Villarreal of course wants to get a win to catch up on the points gap with Sociedad in 4th place. Meanwhile, Girona currently seems to be showing their best performance in La Liga. they want to finish the season in a comfortable position.

and finally Girona lost at home when they played against Villarreal with a score of 1-2. I predicted that this match would be at least a draw but the fact that Gerard Moreno was able to score an additional goal in the last minute which surprised me was that Villarreal's performance was very strong.

the other match currently underway is Barcelona vs Real Sociedad and the match takes place at Camp Nou. Barcelona should have been superior in this match but in fact in the first half Real Sociedad players were able to score in the first minute and will this also be a surprise for Barcelona to lose at home.

[Bobrox]

Its important thing for Barcelona for Lewandowski scoring many goals as possible with three matches left in La Liga and try help him how to be La Liga top scorer in this season behind 4 goals remaining with Karim Benzema. But has bit little bad for Barcelona achievement celebrating La Liga tittle in front of their fans after losing over Real Sociedad, indeed not matter anything with Barcelona have been lock La Liga tittle in this season.

Actually, Lewandowski has bigger chance become top scorer than Karim Benzema, but any possible for Real Madrid help Benzema become top scorer back to back in La Liga with four matches left consistent scoring goals and always filled in Real Madrid starting line up.

The only good thing in the game today is that Lewandowski scored a goal and soon became the top scorer in the league. I saw a video from the Stadium today about 1 hour before the game started and there were a lot of people. +88,000 people were in the stadium today, wow. Barcelona are Champion in Spain, it doesn‘t matter that they lost. On May 28th there is still a game at home against Mallorca, so maybe they can celebrate the last win of the season at home.

[Jossque]

One of the most important matches of the day was Girona-Villareal. It was an important match for both teams to keep their positions and compete in the European Cups. If we look at the last games of both teams, we can say that they didn't have much trouble scoring goals. It wouldn't have been a surprise to think that both teams would score before the start of this match. After scoring in the early minutes, Villareal couldn't keep the score in the first half and the first half ended in a 1-1 draw. In the second half, in a controlled match, Villareal scored and got an important 3 points.
I don't think Barcelona will care much since the matches they play are just a formality since they have declared their championship. Even though they dominated the ball more in the game, they couldn't reflect this as goals. They didn't score enough goals to win the game. Soceidad played with pressure until they got the goal. After the goal, we can say that they lost their dominance. Throughout the match, it was not the team that dominated the ball, but the team that took advantage of the position.

How i wishbReal madeid could just finish this session la liga as the table winners

Dude, are you OK?

Barcelona have already been confirmed this season's champions, even with few matches left to end the season. Real Madrid blew their chances away when they started dropping points against low table teams

even it the la liga will be the only compensation for Real Madeid because this season has not been the best for Real Madrid and to manage motivation at this point look a big deal to her.

But they won Copa Del Ray or you even don't know that?

[Raflesia]

How i wishbReal madeid could just finish this session la liga as the table winners even it the la liga will be the only compensation for Real Madeid because this season has not been the best for Real Madrid and to manage motivation at this point look a big deal to her.

Barcelona have already won trophies this season and don't expect too much for it because it's over.
But there is a slight error in this because Madrid also got a trophy even though it was only the Copa del Rey for this season.
Now the focus is not in that direction because indeed La Liga for the championship is over, what Madrid needs to do is try to be even better this season by making some changes which really needed to be done since last season because we know the condition of their striker is still in trouble even though Benzema is there but when the recurring injuries keep coming it's not very good for them.

Now the remaining matches will be matches that will be used by Barcelona to hone the abilities of young players in the remaining 4 matches for them this season.

They played at full strength in this game although I still felt that they would give the young players a chance but for the start of the game Xavi didn't do that.
Indeed, there are some young players who have returned to play from the bench like Ferran and Ansu who actually changed quite effectively but for some reason Xavi always seems not too sure of them even though it is very unfortunate in my opinion for young talent like Ansu in his current condition.

Yep, he managed to score a goal even though it could be said to be too late because it didn't affect the result but with this goal he has his own individual achievements now and of course there are other things because with that he is again away from Benzema for the current top scorer.
Currently, Benzema's gap for the top scorer competition is getting further because there are already 5 goals now that must be pursued if you want to compete.

Today is a remarkable day in Camp nuo as Barcelona came out to celebrate their victory and not to win match. This was why they didn't stress themselves that much in the game. Sociedad took advantage of Barcelona's intention of celebrating their victory as the best club in Spain and won the game. Sociedad played beautiful football and were very confident of themselves in the match. This victory was very important to them in order for them to seal up their ticket to UCL next season.

Xavi did a great job on his team this season and made Barcelona win the trophy with ease and don't need to complete the season match before celebrating their victory. Lewandoski contributed a lot to his club success with his magic foot that is always ready to net the post of his opponents.

[Leviathan.007]

BTW, in the remaining Villarreal matches, they will face Cadiz, Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid, do you think Villarreal can get full points in each of their remaining matches?

Actually, it's very difficult to answer your question because anything can happen, but maybe I think not. I mean Villarreal can't get full points in their remaining matches. Especially the game against Cadiz, I mean in next match. Cadiz is quite a difficult opponent for Villarreal to beat, because based on the history of head to head these both teams seemed equal. 

Their most difficult opponent in the remaining matches they have is against Atletico Madrid, so, I think Cadiz will be an easy opponent for them. Have you seen the La Liga standings? if so, can't you see Cadiz is 15th? this means they are having a bad season. In conclusion, it will not be difficult for Villarreal to get 3 points from Cadiz (IMO).

Regarding Atletico Madrid, they still have the chance to take the second place in the league back from Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid even had this place on the table for weeks because Real Madrid just tried to focus on their tournaments and now they are back in La Liga but there is still a chance for Atletico Madrid to use the chance if they get anything from Real Madrid.

[Velvet78]

Real Sociedad really made it! It was still a tough away game on paper despite Barcelona's being comfortable already after declaring their La Liga title. But this dedicated performance helped Real Sociedad side anyway to even beat their opponent by 2-1 in Camp Nou. They have left a huge obstacle behind by a solid result on the road going to the Champions League.

I can comfortably say that Real Sociedad are the most deserving team for the 4th position now. Villarreal are trying to stay in the fight for this achievement but it doesn't feel like they will catch up with Real Sociedad from a 5-point gap.

It is a thorn in my side that so many strong teams give themselves up when the season is over for them. Ter Stegen is still fighting to extend his clean sheet record and to play the season with the least conceded goals ever. it would also be amazing for the fans when they became witnesses of a historical achievement, and yet Barcelona is literally stopping to play their strongest game. I really dislike that and I value those seasons highly when the leader of the table hasn't given up to show their best until the last game had been played. That's how records are made and usually Barcelona is a team that should thrive for breaking records whenever they can.

Firstly I don't think Barcelona's failure to win the match today was because of the fact that where more concerned in celebrating their victory as the champions of Spanish La Liga. As a matter of fact, they're supposed to beat Real Sociedad with because of the confidence of not having anything to lose since they were already champions before the match. Real Sociedad was simply the better side in that match and that was why they got all three points from the match.
Secondly I want to congratulate Barcelona for winning the league once again but more importantly congratulate Xavi Hernandez for winning his first league title in Europe.
