La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

For this season, Real Madrid defense is quite bad, in fact they often concede goals and the worst was against Manchester City and they conceded 4 goals in that match.
So far Carlo Ancelotti has actually managed Real Madrid quite well but unfortunately he has failed to make Real Madrid defense tougher.
Maybe for next season Real Madrid will have to immediately have several new players in defense to be able to play well in attack and also on the other hand have a strong defense and not be easily broken by the opposing team.

The defense is one problem and I think Barcelona has shown how much the defense can mean to success. But I miss the days when Real Madrid scored in excess of 100 goals and that were the times when Ronaldo was there. Real Madrid dropped to 64 goals scored in the first season without Ronaldo. Before that they usually scored far more than 100 and 94 goals in his last season. Their defense was hardly any better than this season, but due to this high number goals scored they won the games regardless. But it is not like that these days.

For the attacking line, when Ronaldo was still there, he was the player who always scored the most goals in every season, so it was only natural that at that time, Real Madrid, even though they conceded quite a lot of goals, but they also got more wins because of the goals scored by Ronaldo in every game.
But this season has been really bad from the defense to the attackers.
It's just that the attack line is still better than their defense line.
If these positions and conditions are not immediately corrected, it is very likely that next season they will even have a declining playing performance.

That is the issue as you described it. You can still win games even when your attacking lines don't work as good as intended or not as reliably and that is only through the defense lines. Barcelona did that. Their offensive lines is also not the same anymore as it was in the past, but they had the advantage that they were often relatively safe in their defense.

But defense starts with the offense actually as the opponent has to sacrifice more resources defending when the offensive lines are extremely strong. Real Madrid didn't have quite the balance and that could be seen in both competitions La Liga and also the Champions League.

It is difficult to tell what to expect from next season from both Barcelona and Madrid. I am excited to see how they are planning to change and adjust their squads and whether there will be major transfers that bring some more exclusivity back to La Liga.

Real Madrid, being one of the most valuable clubs in the world, wouldn't face financial constraints if they decide to seek a replacement player. However, my main concern lies in finding a suitable replacement for the striker position. It may seem relatively easier to find replacements for other positions, but finding a top-quality striker can be challenging because many clubs from different leagues are actively pursuing strikers too, and players like Kane are commanding significant attention in the market, my problem with him is that his price tag is quite high but this can be understood considering his contributions to Tottenham, it is perplexing why he is taking his time to make a decision regarding his future with Real Madrid.

Rumors about Real Madrid's new striker next season are still difficult to predict. I think there are a lot of top strikers that have been linked with them including Haaland, Julian Alvarez, Mbappe, Kane and Osimhen. I don't know who Real Madrid will initially approach because it seems all these players have quite a high price in the market. The most that Real Madrid can do is get Osimhen, Kane and Alvarez and apart from that I think they will struggle.

There are currently very few sharp and prolific strikers I'm the market right now because of the fact that their current clubs do not want to get rid of them.
Harry Kane and Osimhen are currently in search of a new club because they want to conquer Europe and also win major honours. I think any of them will compliment the current youthful sqaud at the Santiago Bernabeu and actualize their dreams

La Liga ended with the closure of the unsatisfactory results of the top 3 clubs Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico who did not do well even though in this case it actually didn't really affect their position in the standings I'm still not too satisfied with the match in the last week This.

On the other hand, it looks like we will see a reshuffle that will be carried out by Madrid next season.
Their 4 strikers, namely Asensio, Benzema, Mariano and Hazard, are certain that next season they will not strengthen Real Madrid because indeed an agreement has been taken and they have agreed to part ways.
This is clearly a pretty big overhaul from Madrid because indeed with this they have to look again as a replacement from now on.

It was not surprising as it was the last match day in Laliga and as we know all top three clubs have not much to fight for at this stage of the season and therefore not much was expected from them. It is confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that all four players will be leaving on a free move as there are no plans in place for contract extensions.

Valladolid team was relegated in the last round since they were unable to beat getafe despite needing the points and playing at home their performance wa really disapointing, they had 15 shots and none of them were on target they let their fans down at the most important moment.

Yes, their performance was very disappointing. Their priority was to win because to stay in La Liga they really needed three points, but they failed to get them. Next season they will be forced to return to the segunda division, with Espanyol and also Elche. But I hope they won't be there so long, one season will be enough for them to improve their performance.

If they wanted to return to Laliga by the following season, they had to drastically improve their performance.
Valladolid and Getafe's encounter was similar to whose club wins moves to the relegation zone. Getafe only needed a draw from the game to stay above the relegation zone, while Valladolid only needed a win. Getafe succeeded in doing that to hold Valladolid to a draw match at home.

Valladolid did everything they could to defeat Getafe in their last game in Laliga in order to move at least one step above Almeria and Getafe, but it didn't work out as they had hoped.

Valladolid wasn't efficient enough in this match and they needed to be more realistic in the last touch, they did more than 15 goal attempts but none of them on goal and that's show at wich point they wasn't concentrating

This is more often the case than not when you get relegated that you are probably better off when you improve your performance the season after in order to be promoted again...

La Liga was unusually close this year. I remember that there were like 6 teams or so involved in the last match day when it was about the relegation zone and the same applied to the qualification for the Europa Conference League. On such a day things need to go in your favor, you need a little bit of luck as well. Valladolid really did everything they could. They had the control over the game from minute until the final whistle and yet they couldn't get the ball over the line. Sometimes that happens but in this case the prize was very high that they have to pay.

That proves that Valladolid is very weak in finishing and a team like that will find it difficult to compete in Laliga so it will compete in the Segunda Division will be better, and not only that Getafe even though playing as an away team they understand they still need at least one point to survive the zone relegation because the last game was held at the same time so there was no time for Getafe to see the results of the other teams who were also fighting to escape from the bottom three.
Not an impressive performance for Valladolid because they controlled 80% of the ball possession but Getafe, who only had 20% of the ball's possession, was able to have 1 shot on target.
The teams that survived the relegation zone have to improve themselves if they have the funds to develop an existing team like Valencia, who has struggled a lot this season but luckily at the end of the season, there has been a lot of progress so they are still playing in this division.

The victory with a final score of 2-1 against Celta Vigo was enough to silence the league champions, Barcelona. However, on the other hand, the defeat did not change anything or cause any losses for Barcelona, except for potentially damaging Barcelona's good record against their previous wins. Nevertheless, it became crucial for Celta Vigo to distance themselves from the relegation zone in the Spanish league.

Celta Vigo is very lucky that Barcelona did not play with a winning mission in the last match which allowed them to win that kept them away from the relegation zone. The defeat in the last game did not have a big impact on Barcelona even though their winning record was tarnished, Barcelona played only to meet the requirements as a sign that the season was over. An additional three points allowed Celta Vigo to stay in La Liga next season. Real Valladolid, Espanyol and Elche were relegated to Laliga Smartbank.

Real Madrid are in a difficult situation after the departure of Benzema. It is likely that Madrid will find it very difficult to compete again with Barcelona if it does not immediately get a new sticker that is commensurate with Benzema. In my opinion, among the names you mentioned, only Kane and Julian Alvarez are compatible with Los Blancos, while Mbappe and Haaland are clearly unlikely to be let go by their clubs. Osimhen does look good with Napoli but if the price is too high then it's better for Madrid not to look at him because in my opinion Osimhen is a type of seasonal striker, meaning he can always perform consistently.

Their contracts actually still exist like Benzema and Hazard who can still be for one more season but indeed they don't want to take that and have their own way now by completing their contracts at Madrid this season.
Now it is reported that Benzema will definitely be in the Saudi Arabian Pro League at this time. Asensio is also rumored to be PSG's if you see some of the pictures that Fabrizio has given but indeed for Hazard and Mariano now it is a little complicated especially with the lack of opportunities they have in Madrid and we will still see the continuation of this player.

this last match for Barcelona is a match that doesn't mean that it won't affect anything in its position which has reached the top of the standings and on the other hand I don't consider Barcelona's last performance that lost to Celta to be a bad thing because it doesn't really matter and it's just that Barcelona gives a chance to Celta to stay away from the relegation zone. so Celta should be grateful to Barcelona for trying to lose in their last game.
if we think logically it is actually very unlikely that Barcelona will lose to Celta but maybe this is the wise intention of the Barcelona team.

It was unbelievable to see all the teams from the 14th position to the last one got a draw on the final week of the season. It was a really thrilling kind of ending to the season while determining the last relegating team. I thought that Valladolid would be able to beat Getafe home and get out of the relegation zone. But they couldn't prevent a 0-0 draw at the end.

I was positive about them especially because of what they did to Barcelona. Maybe Barcelona were comfortable already but it was still a great work by Valladolid as they won by 3-1. However they couldn't use this as a motivation source unfortunately.

That was a give away from Barcelona they don't have anything to miss
As for Valencia and Sevilla they are my team of rhe season
After so much struggles of the relegation they finally step their games up to evade being relegated

I was expecting such a fierce competition between the bottom table teams seeing that the point difference between most of them wasn't much and teams like Celta Vigo, was only one point away from relegation before they won their last game the motivation was high. Valencia too didn't want to take that chance of losing hence the were able to secure a draw which helped them escape relegation better even after getting a red card. Sevilla should be relaxed now they have won what the cared most about this season and nothing else matter to them any longer seeing that either the lose or win nothing changes.

Celta Vigo performance yesterday was extremely wonderful  for defeating Barcelona, it seems they were motivated to get more points as the league has come  to an end. The teams at the  bottom have similar points but the three points Celta Vigo got made them to be in a better position far from the relegation points.

What a great performance by Celta Vigo, they beat a team like Barcelona 2-1 which is a huge achievement for them. no one expected such a remarkable victory for Celta Vigo. a team like Barcelona has narrowly escaped losing a match 2-0, otherwise it would have ruined their reputation. Celta Vigo completed two goals before Barcelona scored the single. It's a feat for Celta Vigo. I was really surprised by watching  this match

Chelta Vigo team has been able to perform exceptionally well. But now there is no point in performing well in La Liga as the Barcelona team has secured the title. However, small groups are moving forward quite well these days. Hope to see something better next season.

I want to see changes from Celta vigo next season, but I was astonished to see them overcome a team like Barcelona despite their excellent teamwork. I can see that Celta is progressing steadily and that they are making more of an effort to protect the future seasons that will come there way.
However, I believe that Celta vigo should compete in other competitions as Barcelona has already won La Liga, therefore there is no purpose in excelling once more despite their historic victory over Barcelona.

Barca finishes the season with a defeat, whereas Celta Vigo defeated the champions at the Municipal de Balados stadium. Although the hosts did not relent in their efforts, absorbing and maintaining closer tackles on the visitors, they couldn't afford to forfeit their chance of retaining a spot in La Liga. Celta de Vigo is staying out of the relegation zone, while the blaugrana have nothing to lose because they are already La Liga winners. Xavi Hernandez's focus is not centered around the game; alternatively, he is focusing on next season budgets and recruiting potential players to the club, with the goal of having Leo Messi on his squad next season.

Celta Vigo knew that it's either they win or they get relegated,
While Barcelona knows that if they lose they are already Champions. So, there's nothing at stake. The match was quiet interesting as Celta Vigo fans were emotional throughout the match.

It seemed that Barça simply took to the field in order to fulfill their duties this would indicate the conclusion of a difficult campaign. However the three additional points gained by Celta Vigo were crucial as they were responsible for placing them in the La Liga standings for the upcoming campaign. Conversely unfortunate results occurred in the Real Valladolid Espanyol and Elche clubs as they were re relegated to the Laliga Smartbank this was a disheartening fate for these organizations.

It would be beneficial if Real Madrid could at least purchase two or three of these strikers because their problems have always revolved around this position. Karim Benzema was arguably Real Madrid's best striker, and now that he's leaving, I don't think their performance will make sense. Therefore, it would be beneficial if Real Madrid signed Victor Osimhen, Alvarez, and Kane because I believe they can help them win more Champions League titles the following season.
Real Madrid will struggle to win any league next season and their performance will be atrocious if they fail to sign any strikers this season or if the team considers the cost of signing a new striker.

It would be beneficial if Real Madrid could at least purchase two or three of these strikers because their problems have always revolved around this position. Karim Benzema was arguably Real Madrid's best striker, and now that he's leaving, I don't think their performance will make sense.

He is professional and contributes a lot for Real Madrid and now when Benzema according to rumor, received a big offer from Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid made a kindly decision to free Benzema. They let him rights to choose his next club and free him one season before a current contract expiration.

Therefore, it would be beneficial if Real Madrid signed Victor Osimhen, Alvarez, and Kane because I believe they can help them win more Champions League titles the following season.
Real Madrid will struggle to win any league next season and their performance will be atrocious if they fail to sign any strikers this season or if the team considers the cost of signing a new striker.

I don't know buying all those players: Osimhen, Alvarez and Kane are good and I don't think they will be able to combine well in a same team. They already have Vinicius and Rodrygo and actually need a new striker but Kane, Osimhen, Alvarez are like all strikers. Buying three star players at the same time and they play at same position is wasting money.

It is not Real Madrid style as they wisely to buy players that fit with their squad and have enough patience to buy youth players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and grow them up. Osimhen will be best choice for Real Madrid as he is a better striker than Alvarez and younger than Kane.

It was a do-or-die match for Celta Vigo. This team had the possibility of going to the relegation zone if they did not win this match. And so their aim in this match was to beat Barcelona by any means possible. On the other hand, since Barcelona has already won the title, they are not playing the matches very seriously. As the match was not important for Barcelona. And Barcelona was missing several key players. So Celta Vigo got a good chance to win this match. However, if Barcelona's goal in this match was to win, then Celta Vigo could not have defeated an experienced team like Barcelona so easily. Barcelona won the home match against Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo moved up 5 places in the league with this win, jumping from 18th to 13th. One thing is now official after the game, Robert Lewandowski is the best striker in the league. He has scored 23 goals in 34 games, followed by Karim Benzema with 19 goals in 24 games. If Benzema had played 10 more games, maybe he would be the player with the most goals. But now he leave Real Madrid with two titles: Copa del Rey & UEFA Supercup winner.

On a normal circumstance, even if Barcelona fielded all their best players in the match, they wouldn't have escaped Celta Vigo because the energy with which Celta Vigo came into the match was far much higher than that of Barcelona.

While Barcelona knows that if they lose they are already Champions. So, there's nothing at stake. The match was quiet interesting as Celta Vigo fans were emotional throughout the match.

To be honest, I didn't watch this fight.  because, there are other, more exciting matches to involve betting on. I thought, if the result of the Celta Vigo vs Barcelona match would end in a draw. however, it turned out that Celta Vigo was able to win the match even though Barcelona actually controlled 73% ball possession.
I suspect, that Xavi is just trying to experiment with rotating some of his players. for example, Erik Garcia was deployed as a quarterback, even though his original position was DC. he partners with Kassie, but in the end the combination doesn't work out the way he wants. Likewise with Sergio Roberto who played as DR, in his 15 matches as the main starter, he always underperformed. It is also possible that Xavi is selecting which players he will release in the transfer window next summer. for the wing, Ferran Torres played underperform too. only after being replaced by Ansu Fati and Dembele coming in, Barcelona's game improved. So, we can assume that this match is meaningless for Barcelona. Win or lose, it doesn't matter to them.

Different from Celta, because their position was threatened in their position, they automatically inevitably played all out. and proven. Celta can take advantage of the momentum of this fight. noted, even though Celta lost in possession, every counterattack they had was quite dangerous. technically, Barcelona is much better than the home team. but by luck, Celta Vigo was able to capitalize on its momentum and topple Barcelona. as a result, Celta Vigo is good to a safe position.

So, as you say. we agree, if Barcelona is not aiming for victory in this fight. but maybe, just evaluating his team.
