La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Leviathan.007]

Sevilla seems very happy with Loïc Bade performance, previously Bade was on loan but on 1 July 2023 Sevilla could officially sign Bade. As a defender he successfully contributed 2 goals, one goal in La Liga against Valencia and another goal in the Europa League competition against Manchester United. His performances for Sevilla have been really good, this guy just joined Sevilla in the winter transfer in January 2023, but his contribution to Sevilla not at all disappointing.

It was not in vain that Sevilla was able to get Loic Bade last season because they managed to give a good performance and made quite a strong contribution to Sevilla.
At the moment it looks like Sevilla has the opportunity to get new players again to further strengthen their performance to be able to get the European league title again.
Because I'm sure that in this new season the competition will be very strong because several clubs have got new players and it's time for Sevilla to announce who will officially become Sevilla's new members.

Sevilla had a bad performance this season and they lost many games in La Liga while Sevilla won the Europa League with a little luck but I think they have to improve the team and hire better players if they want to have better performance in the champions league and in the La Liga because the Sevilla we saw with these players can't have good performance in the next season at all.
Compared to other top teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona and even Atletico Madrid they don't have a good situation at all.

So far there is still a chance to sign Mbappe. Madrid have that chance, they might just need to spend a lot of money to get him. The transfer market is still long, Anceloti could have many alternatives if he does not get him. Benzema is indeed no one who can replace. But now that he is gone, Anceloti must use the players he has to compete. So it doesn't matter there will be new periods and new problems when the best players leave.

Although Mbappe already said to stay in PSG, I agree that it is not impossible to sign Mbappe as long as the transfer window is opened. Moreover, Tottenham management already set the price for Harry Kane with an unreasonable price. I heard they want €200m for the transfer fees, it is a too excessive amount of money. For a striker that is almost 30 years old, I'm sure Real Madrid will stop to negotiate for Harry Kane. Now, Real Madrid may focus on Mbappe or Osimhen. Sure, there is still a long time before the end of the transfer window, but Real Madrid has many competitors to sign a top striker like Mbappe and Osimhen. It is not easy to sign a top striker to replace Benzema's role in Real Madrid, I'm worried Real Madrid fails to sign a top CF for the next season.

Sevilla seems very happy with Loïc Bade performance, previously Bade was on loan but on 1 July 2023 Sevilla could officially sign Bade. As a defender he successfully contributed 2 goals, one goal in La Liga against Valencia and another goal in the Europa League competition against Manchester United. His performances for Sevilla have been really good, this guy just joined Sevilla in the winter transfer in January 2023, but his contribution to Sevilla not at all disappointing.

Loïc Bade has made 25 appearances for Sevilla in the 2022-2023 season, he has also contributed 2 goals for Sevilla. He joined Sevilla and was lucky enough to win the Europa League title this season. Loïc Bade is still quite young as a defender, he has a great future but only if he is consistent enough with his performances.

Loic Bade is only 23. He has a lot of time ahead of him. I think he should stay in Sevilla for now. Unless he is getting chased by big clubs. There are a lot of clubs that are looking for defenders right now. The thing is I don’t see them taking his name. I think he is really young right now, and that is a big reason why he should be taking every step carefully. In bad transfer right now can actually cost him a lot in the future.

Real Madrid's performances this season have not been regular. They don't play well consistently. Therefore, the team cannot dominate anywhere in the La Liga or the Champions League. If Benzema had been in good form and not suffering from injuries, Madrid's performance would have been consistent. And since Madrid won't have Benzema in the team next season. Therefore, Madrid should quickly add a suitable player to the squad to fill Benzema's void. If they do not do this then the team will not be able to win any title in the next season.

Carlo Ancelotti is creating more basic solutions to Madrid problems, he's the perfect coach for the Spanish club and he would sort things out. Karim Benzema, a crucial player for Real Madrid, left in the summer transfer window. The one-time Ballon d'Or winner earned his stint at Real Madrid, and transferring to the Saudi League would just mean a new team, a new chapter, and a new challenge for him. It's only a phase, and it will pass. Real Madrid has had a difficult season due to inconsistency in their league games. They will most likely return to their former splendor next season.

I wonder who is going to be the next genuine striker for Real Madrid. I do not believe that it is going to be anyone from the players that they already have on the team. I also do not know if they are willing to spend such a huge amount of money to bring in mbappe. Especially when it is certain that he is going to be a free agent next season. I think that mbappe probably really wants to play for Real Madrid though. Losing Benzema was certainly not ideal for Real Madrid. But at the same time I think we have to realize that Benzema probably wouldn't have performed as well as Real Madrid have wanted him to do. So I think it is better that they have parted ways with each other. I am expecting Real Madrid to show a better performance in the next season compared to what they did in this one.

[Docnaster]

If they have UCL this season I think it's special, they don't have ideal players. They don't have the best transfers. There are no big targets I expected from Madrid this season. At the moment Madrid is in a period of transition of players, some players are leaving and starting to get old. Beligham's arrival gives new hope for Madrid's quality next season. But that's not enough, they need a lot of other players to compete with Barcelona in the league and Europe. I think if Anceloti is a good coach, if he has support he will give the best results.

Personally, I see Ancelotti as more competent in coaching players who already have a reputation, and for now, he is required to build from scratch by educating some of the younger players. So this is quite difficult and of course creates a new challenge. I say that based on his track record where Ancelotti has mastered more in every competition, both the Champions League and La Liga. This can be seen in the golden age of Real Madrid which was full of star players so the results were quite satisfying. Talking about Madrid's current position, the transition process is not easy, it will take time to really form the ideal team. Therefore, losing Benzema is considered a vital position that is most difficult to replace. Because Benzema is an old player and Ancelotti has much more control over him. As for the young players, Ancelotti's task will be a little different and more difficult.

Carlos Ancelotti is one of the most seasoned coaches in European clubs with very good reputation and record as well few months back there were rumours he is going to Brazil but currently nothing is clear about this with now he is going to completely his tenure here which is going to end in June 2024 hopefully after this we will have better things but right now after having impressive 2022 they were not good as expected in 2023 due to injuries and lack of better replacements now in this season they are doing good job and have few good players which can give them good results with now Mbappé saga is also having his own impact, but I have feeling Real Madrid management and fans need to skip this even he is one of the best player.

But now in coming season, we are going to have good competition for the trophies as Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are also doing their homework with Real Madrid is also having few targets hopefully they will achieve these and all will be interesting.

Carlo Ancelotti is a known football  manager that possess the qualities of a great coach and his past records proves that he's among the top three best managers in the would at the moment.
The speculation that he's gonna become Brazil team national coach is definitely not gonna happen in this summer transfer window because a big club like Real Madrid should've gotten another manager that'll manage the team of if there's every possiblity of Ancelotti leaving

His performances for Sevilla have been really good, this guy just joined Sevilla in the winter transfer in January 2023, but his contribution to Sevilla not at all disappointing.

Loic Bade has become a mainstay for Sevilla this season in guarding the Sevilla defense line and he has proven successful in doing the job so that Sevilla has officially made his status permanent as a Sevilla player.

For next season I think Sevilla must also really prepare themselves as best they can in this season's transfer window because last season their performance at the start of the season was quite bad and at the same time Sevilla managed to get up and get out of the relegation zone.   
Management must be able to stabilize Sevilla performance next season, especially since they will be playing in the Champions League.

[Ahli38]

If we wait until 2024, I think it will be a bit long because what Real Madrid wants is that at the start of the season, Mbappe is already at Real Madrid to be able to dominate the game this summer. but if indeed Mbappe is retained by PSG for me it will only be in vain because Mbappe's desire to win the UCL title has long been and maybe only by joining Madrid can he achieve what he wants.

So far there is still a chance to sign Mbappe. Madrid have that chance, they might just need to spend a lot of money to get him. The transfer market is still long, Anceloti could have many alternatives if he does not get him. Benzema is indeed no one who can replace. But now that he is gone, Anceloti must use the players he has to compete. So it doesn't matter there will be new periods and new problems when the best players leave.

In the end, if Real Madrid dared to pay a high price to sign Mbappe, then of course PSG couldn't do much to keep Mbappe. And Mbappe himself would also be very happy to join Real Madrid. It's just that the problem at the moment is that it seems that Real Madrid have not dared to pay a high price to sign Mbappe. And on the one hand, PSG is currently struggling to negotiate to keep Mbappe and extend the contract. even though Mbappe himself has decided not to renew the contract and his contract will end for one more season, namely next season. But it is true that Real Madrid need a striker to replace Benzema at the start of this season. and indeed it is too long for Real Madrid to wait for next season. But because the transfer market is still long, there is still time to try to get Mbappe before the transfer window closes. It's just that Real Madrid have to be careful because currently a club from the Premier League is also trying to sign Mbappe.

Pep Guardiola has admitted he is prepared to fight to keep Ilkay Gundogan at Manchester City beyond this season.
Gundogan's current contract at City is due to expire at the end of June following a historic season for both the player and the club, but Barcelona have made an offer to the 32-year-old to try and lure him to Camp Nou.

Guardiola recently revealed that sporting director Txiki Begiristain is working on a new deal for the player but, despite their best efforts, 90min understands that Barcelona have long been confident of securing his services this summer.

https://www.90min.com/posts/pep-guardiola-prepared-fight-barcelona-ilkay-gundogan

As per statement from pep and i think that barcelona shall try to find an alternative for gundogan. He will not be going to the barcelona as pep wants him to stay even longer. It seems like that barcelona needs to find a replacement for gundogan caused by busquets is not playing in the club again.
Manchester city will be trying as fast as possible to give him a new contract. I think that city shall have increased his salary to make him stay in the club even longer. Pep doesn't wanna see his key players in the club leave to another club.
Gundogan has become one of main player in the manchester city. He plays a very important role to bring city to win UCL this season. Barcelona must give up and try to find another solution to fill busquet's position.
Gundogan will not be going to the barcelona. I knew many people are putting their hopes to see him come the club.

Sevilla do tend to be less adaptable in La Liga and they often lose the place they should be able to defend in the standings. New players will definitely be needed by Sevilla because of course they need an overhaul, especially for the midfield and attack which often has difficulty organizing attacks. In the champions league, sevilla may be back at a stalemate and it seems that they will again not be serious about competition because their chances are also quite small to be able to go further. I think Sevilla must first fix what is in La Liga so that its position is no longer threatened at the bottom of the standings.

Simeone apparently very confident with his current squad and that's why he has confirmed will not bought a lot of players to strengthen his squad this summer and it says he and Atletico Madrid will focusing to renew the contract some of players and recently Atletico has been attempts to give contract extension to their captain Koke Resurreccion and besides that Simone will attempts to hold some of important players such as Griezmann who targetted by MLS club and Alvaro Morata who aiming by Arabian club but Simone said if he want to buy players probably he will find new defenders and midfielder players but regarding forward lines although most likely Joao Felix will leave but Atletico still have Alvaro Morata, Griezmann or Memphis Depay

If they can keep their squad this year, they can play better games next year. They identified their missing areas throughout the matches and made some reinforcements. maybe they'll add some more. Simeone is a smart coach and I wonder how he will go about convincing the players. While such high salaries are given in Arabia, it is a country that players will strive to go to right now because.

Not too sure if Real Madrid will try to get Mbappe in this transfer window this season. indeed, ancelotti needs an injection of energy for the front line but I suspect that for mbappe they will not maximize the chances of bringing him in this season. Joselu is the main force for next season he will be the player who will replace benzema for next season.
So, for the next winter transfer window, there is a high probability that Real Madrid will take advantage of their strengths to bring in Mbappe and all efforts will probably be carried out for sure in the next winter window.

Real Madrid's performances this season have not been regular. They don't play well consistently. Therefore, the team cannot dominate anywhere in the La Liga or the Champions League. If Benzema had been in good form and not suffering from injuries, Madrid's performance would have been consistent. And since Madrid won't have Benzema in the team next season.

Only this season Real Madrid focused on the Champions League so they didn't give much importance to the La Liga title. Focusing only on the Champions League saw them lose the league title as well as being eliminated from the semi-finals of the Champions League. They released Karim Benzema before the start of the new season. After releasing Karim Benzema, they still haven't found a suitable replacement for Karim Benzema, but there is not much time left before the start of this season. If they fail to find a replacement for Benzema, Real Madrid will not be able to do well in the next season. Although Real Madrid have signed English midfield star Jobe Bellingham, but Jobe Bellingham is not enough to win major tournaments.

Due to the high salaries in the Arab leagues, it is becoming more and more difficult to persuade players to stay in the team. Here, the job of persuasion falls to the coaches. If he can't keep his player in the team, he has to find a new player and this is even more difficult. Transfer seasons have been really tough lately. Atletico Madrid do not have big goals in the league because they have Barcelona and Real Madrid ahead of them. For this reason, I think they will not say no to high testimonial offers to their players. This is a test every club must pass. Let's see how Atletico Madrid will pass this transfer exam.

It would be nice if they mastered this process like Napoli. Even though the last champion of Serie A, Napoli lost their players, they filled their place with such beautiful players that they won Serie A with a big point difference this year. The Atlético Madrid Scout team does a great job here. If the players they find bring Atletico Madrid to the top, it will be the event of the year in Europe.

I don't know if it is only me that feels that Simeone needs to ATM. I am confident that if ATM gets a new coach, they perform better than what they do now. This does not suggest that Simeone is not a good coach but I am saying that he is used to the team and the players are used to him. Every season no new spirit, no tension, just do your normal thing and end the league in the top 4, we all know we cannot win Laliga when Real Madrid and Barcelona are there.

It will be tough to keep up with Saudi in current transfer window. The way they are making moves on some good names in Europe is really something. Back to topic, I think Atletico Madrid will sign players eventually as Saul and Doherty are in talks with Saudi clubs. Simeone actually haven't used Saul much over the years but Doherty however was kinda rotation player for them at right-back. I think Atletico Madrid will need a right back if Doherty leaves.

This is not true. Why do most people believe this? Is it because there was too much gap between them and Barcelona? Madrid wanted the league title from the beginning of the season. They were focused on all competitions. Before the world cup break Barcelona were topping the league with just one point difference Madrid was at second position. 
How do you say they were only focused on the champions league but they won the copa del rey.
Real Madrid were just inconsistent in the league because that is the kind of coach Ancelotti is. He has never won a single league title twice with the same team in his career, and I'm certain he will not win the La Liga again with Madrid.
Would you also say Sevilla were not focused on the league because they didn't finish well in the league but won the Europa?

Real Madrid is a big club and they want to win La Liga as well as Champions League. They did not focus on Champions League only and sacrificed La Liga at the season start or before World Cup ending. I don't know what actually happened in Real Madrid after World Cup 2022 but their performance in La Liga dropped a lot since January, after World Cup ending. Perhaps their players were tired and lacked of focus on La Liga. They lost many points because they could not score winning goals.

Gradually they fell more behind Barcelona till a time they had to decide to only focus on Champions League but it is not their initial plan.

I don't think so. We must think back that two seasons ago, maybe many of us did not think Real Madrid could win Champions League with many old players. They and Carlo Ancelotti won that Champions League and in the past season, they were not too far from another Champions League final match. With old players, it is more difficult for them to maintain good performances in a very long league season and perhaps it is their biggest problems in the past season.

Being able to finish the season in the top three is something that doesn't have to be bad for ATM, because ATM is only less competitive than the other two big top teams, namely Barcelona and Real Madrid. But ATM still has a chance next season to be better in La Liga as well as in the UCL because ATM is not a weak team so any changes will definitely be considered if it is for the good of the team. Likewise when starting to maintain whatever is already there as well as coaches and players.

I like Real Madrid and I am observing. There are some issues that I am aware of from my observations.
1. They didn't have a good transfer this season.
2. The aging players.
3. Not having substitutes who have the same quality.
4. The departure of players who do not yet have a replacement.
5. Some major players are often injured.
So if they want to succeed this season, they need to have good transfers to stay competitive in La Liga and Europe. Relying on the current players, I believe Madrid will fail next season.

Diego Simeone and Atletico have been an inseparable pair over the past decade and regardless of the outcome they will always strengthen each other in La Liga, perhaps that is how the relationship between these two sides is portrayed. Previously, Atletico would only be a complement to the top 4 positions and that is a fact that has been clear for many seasons.

But Atletico is also not too bad because two years ago Atletico managed to win the La Liga title in the 20/21 season and it wasn't long enough for them to win it. But what is clear is that Atletico will still be a shadow team in La Liga and that will last quite a while longer if the coach is still Diego Simeone.
