La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Jody.Drummer]

Luka Modric is a monument of stability. We can say that he has done the best in the position he has played for years. There is also the Ballon D'or award. I think this is enough to prove to us how loyal he is to his job and how successful he is. I'm sure he will play great matches at Real Madrid next year as well.

In the past two days, Luka Modric has also extended his contract by Real Madrid because Real Madrid still considers Luka Modric as a player who can help the team in the midfield so that Luka Modric will still be seen at Real Madrid next season. I also believe that Luka Modric can still give his best performance for Real Madrid next season by making the midfield more lively and also by providing the best passes to the players up front.

Luca Modric has undoubtedly brought balance to the Real Madrid midfield in recent seasons, his players are vital to being able to keep Real Madrid's game in good touch. Good teamwork is also shown by this player, it is proven that he can work with anyone in the midfield. Experience doesn't lie, maybe now he is slower than before due to the age factor, but his experience will be very influential to provide calm and also set a good example for young players who are in the current squad.

Barcelona do need a midfield player to replace Busquets and Ilkay Gundogan fits perfectly in that position. His contribution to the club is undoubted and he has proven while at Manchester City, this is the right choice and Xavi knows very well the conditions Barcelona are facing so recruiting Ilkay Gundogan can be an alternative in maximizing their budget next season.

Xavi is indeed smart in taking advantage of moments like this and he doesn't want to lose a great player like Gundogan who was the key to victory in several important matches for Manchester City before finally getting the treble winner last season. His arrival at Camp Nou will certainly be greeted with great enthusiasm by his colleagues, moreover there will be so much knowledge that other young players at Barcelona can absorb. Gundogan's job is to replace Bosquest and we don't need to doubt his quality because Gundogan is very experienced in winning titles in various competitions before.

Yes, Barcelona benefited from Gundogan joining the squad, Gundogan was brought in for free, and he is a player who has good abilities which has been proven to have contributed to bringing Manchester City to great success this season. Of course his presence in the squad will be welcomed, because at the same time they also need players who can replace Busquets who left this season. They had the right moment, and I think it's the same as what happened last season, like when they brought Lewandowski to Camp Nou.

You are absolutely right, Gundogan was one of Manchester City's key players. Gundogan must be welcomed as a talented player. Gundogan is a very skilled and reputable player. Gundogan joining the squad was a plus point for Barcelona. Barcelona is also a team currently in discussion. I think all these talented players stay in Barcelona. Barcelona can gain more fame in the future

I'm astonished because Luka Modric turned down a huge offer from a Saudi club, preferring to stay at Santiago Bernabeu and make an influence on the squad. According to statistics, he is the most experienced midfielder in the club, and he has good skills of lining up good passes for his teammates. Carlo Ancelotti has included him in his budget for the coming season. Modric is aged and may not deliver to the fans' expectations, but he will give it his all. He also has supportive colleagues, such Camavinga, Tchouameni, and the new youngster, Bellingham. There is no need to be concerned because he will be served on good terms.

These look more like safe haven of fame in the bag than been loyal. He has been in Real Madrid since 2012 and nothing to show for, aside from the Ballon D'or, I don't see any speciality or connection between him and Real Madrid. Let's say he was been loyal, was Real Madrid loyal to him by signing him for just a year? Loyalty goes hand to hand, not a one way thing. The reason why I think he refused to go Saudi Arabia could be because of recognition and his age, the attention he gets from Real Madrid, the half wouldn't be there if he had eventually accept Al-Hilal contract.

It seems both players, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres are going to leave Barcelona and they won't play there for the next season. They want to hire Iñigo Martínez but first Barcelona should sell these two players and have some empty spots for three two.
Fati is a young player and he could grow up in Barcelona but Xavi said he doesn't need this player, however, both players Fati and Torres, don't want to leave Barcelona and they are both trying to stay there which can make it harder for Barcelona.
https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2023/6/27/23775230/barcelona-very-disappointed-with-ansu-fati-and-ferran-torres-report

Ansu fati was a garbage player. Im supporting barcelona to kick him from the club. His performance was pretty much the same like meguire from manchester united. He was always making blunders. He is also rarely contributing to the club.
As far as i know that if ansu fati has been refusing to leave from barcelona caused by he is really love this club. Im feeling curious about what things that make him changes his mind.
I remember that if ansu's father has been also threatening barcelona caused by this club is willing to sell his daighter to the another club.
So many people in the past called this guy as the new messi which makes non sense.

[BRINIRHA]

Champions League is always important and interesting to watch. The games there aren't easy obviously and next year will not be an easy challenge as usual.
Barcelona's performance under Xavi improved but they still need to prove how powerful the club is among the present one.
The only problem with managing Barcelona is how hard to get a cohesive team

I would say, the strongest teams in Europe play there
every year, teams in all leagues fight each other tirelessly to be able to enter the champions league
therefore it is a characteristic that makes it a high quality alloy

Of course all the strongest clubs from their respective local leagues will gather there. Last season Barcelona failed in the group stage. And it looks like Xavi last season did not prioritize the Champions League. So that there is a difference in the performance displayed by the Barcelona team between the Champions League and Laliga. Xavi's goal last season was to win a title in Laliga which Barcelona had not won for several seasons. And Xavi did it last season. So this season I hope Xavi prioritizes the Champions League. and prove the strength of Barcelona in front of all the best European clubs.

I think Gundogan's experience will be very much needed by the Barcelona team and Xavi is very keen on seeing this, currently Barcelona is occupied by many young players and they don't have a good mentality, that's why Gundogan came to be able to help and guide Barcelona's young players with the experience and mentality he had at Manchester City for him to apply again with the Barcelona team.
There is no doubt that Xavi is a great coach who has succeeded in bringing Barcelona out of the slump so, this transfer is the same, everyone believes in what Xavi is doing.

Barcelona has a creative midfielder in their team, but they need a midfielder who can maintain the rhythm of the game and Ilkay Gundogan is suitable to fill that position as a substitute for Bosquest because his experience at Manchester City is also quite good. Apart from being able to maintain the rhythm of the game, he is also good at providing assists to strikers and this is the kind of person Xavi needs in the team because Barcelona adheres to a system of short passes from one player to another when playing.

The arrival of Ilkay Gundogan will definitely provide a great boost to the team and other young players can learn a lot from his ability and composure in playing. Experience and mentality are needed and Ilkay Gundogan has stood the test of time for that matter.

I think Luka Modric won't go to Saudi Arabia after the end of his contract with Real Madrid either. I expect him to retire after having his last season here. He can even retire from national football as well at the same time. It just feels like Modric could have gone to a Saudi Arabian team or an MLS team maybe already. Because he is really old now.

Of course it is still admirable to see him being able to play for 120 minutes despite his age. We saw this in the Nations League you know. But he doesn't seem interested in going to a team outside Europe for now.

Maybe he doesn't want to follow in CR7's footsteps, he prefers to stay in Madrid and maybe retire there, but Modric is not a young player who might have more abilities, of course Modric is already old, his performance will definitely start to decline so he can't be fully relied on at Madrid next season, because Madrid if still relying on players who will be a little old may lose to a club full of young players even though Modric has more experience on the field.

Stamina will be a guarantee that the club can play well, especially next season of course there is a lot of competition from other clubs who will compete to play many young players who can be a threat to Madrid, after all there are many players who are a bit old like CR7, Messi and others playing in leagues outside Europe and will probably enjoy the game until retirement, while Modric prefers to stay in Madrid. let's see, hopefully Modric will still be a mainstay of Madrid in the next season.

I don't think Luka modric will retire in Real Madrid or national team because he will like to join Saudi Arabian team because many potential players are joining the team base on the huge amount of money Saudi Arabian are paying potential players, which is higher than the amount of money other teams are paying their players. Since Luka modric is still displaying well in his national team and Real Madrid, I believe he still have some new skills to showcase in Saudi Arabian team so that his name will be everywhere before he retire from football career. Based on the strength and energy Luka modric used to showcased in any opportunity given to him, show that he will still display at the age of 50 or 60 because the skills is there for him to fulfill his football career at old age.

He should play lesser games even if he's capable of playing 120 minutes, I will want to see how Carlos Ancellotti infuse the newest signing into the first team, in place of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
The move to Saudi Arabia would have still made brains, Luka Modric has achieved it all to the top during his stay here in European Competition.

Winning the Champions League, The La Liga, Copa Del Ray, Super Cup, FIFA World Club Cup and also the Ballon d'or, c'mon, Luka Modric is indeed a legend. Second runner up and third runners up with the last two held FIFA World Cup? After the current contract signed expires, he can finally mamke a move to them Saudi Arabian League.

[Pulsar77]

Sevilla have left a pretty interesting season behind. They started the season really badly in the La Liga. Having big vulnerabilities in defense caused them to get even near the relegation area and stay there for a long time. They tried to solve this problem with a couple of manager changes. Sampaoli wasn't the one for the team according to his results during his time but it was still a risk to change their manager after a short time in the middle of the season. But lucky for them that they started to do way better with Mendilibar.

Mendilibar isn't even a successful manager considering his manager career until then. But there was a nice coherence between him and the players. They reflected this on their performance in not only the La Liga but also the Europa League. From being near the relegation area they reached the level to win the Europa League trophy. 

This is a really great progress and I wonder how competitive they can be in the La Liga as well next season.

In terms of experience Barcelona is losing some of it and gaining some of it. With Busquets leaving some of the experience and legacy within the team is going away, but Gundogan will be a good and refreshing replacement as he is a almost 2.5 years younger than Busquets and he is a more offensive player with qualities both in giving assists and scoring himself. I mean 44 goals in 188 games as a midfielder for Manchester City is strong! Busquet's role was kind of different, but there is also a significant overlap between his responsibilities on the field and Gundogan's responsibilities.

Luka Modric will play for Real Madrid for at least another year according to the agreed contract, after his time with Real Madrid ends nobody knows what his decision will be. Modric is still physically strong despite his age, his experience is still needed by Real Madrid to lead the midfield.
The charm of the Arab League with the large salary offered is very difficult to resist for players who are considered unable to compete at a high level anymore. Maybe Modric will follow in the footsteps of Ronaldo and Benzema to enliven the veteran players in the Arab League, when money is already talking it is very difficult to turn away from him. If the opportunity comes to Modric, he will consider and delay retiring.

Luca Modric At the age of 38, he is still playing for a club as big as Real Madrid and is still a core player, even though he can't play 90 minutes, Luca Modric is mentally and physically extraordinary. Yes, I also hope that he will retire at Real Madrid even though that is impossible because we know that there are no players who retire at Real Madrid. Even Luka Modrić has received one of the biggest salary proposals ever in football from Saudi Arabia. But He decided to decline the salary offer with great respect. Only one reason he wants, because he still wants to continue playing, fighting and winning again at the club in his life, namely Real Madrid.

When talking about Luca Modric, I always remember Jose Mourinho's words when Luca Modric first came to Real Madrid. José Mourinho said something like this at the time All I ask the madridistas is to give Luka Modrić time and be patient. He will be so good that Santiago Bernabéu will fall in love with Luca Modric's class.

Modric has achieved a lot and should enjoy his last part of his career in Saudi Arabia,with fat pay because he deserves it. He has shown his quality as a world class player in all games that he played.

He shouldn't retire from Real Madrid and end up football because he can still play in two or three more seasons,due to his quality. Real Madrid will miss his fitness in their matches,because he is also part of Real Madrid's success. SPL will be a good option for him if he leaves Real Madrid.

If luka modric ends is contract with Real Madrid I don't think he is getting  retired.  Luka modric is a strong player showing a great performance despite his age. So far as Luka modric is still strong he will move to the saudi Arabia league where most of the  top players are going to. Saudi Arabia league that most players are heading to will be the place of retirement no doubt about it. Luka modric is still very strong and after now I don't think their will be any much difference in his performance,  he will definitely do well in Saudi Arabia.

Luka modric is a player full of plenty energy,  I'm not sure man performance will become weak at anytime soon, he still have the chance to go Saudi Arabia to make some reasonable cash after now.

The thought of Luka Modric heading to Saudi Arabia or MLS? Tough to envision. His Real Madrid journey has been spectacular – a perfect curtain call. His capability for handling 120-minute marathons, as seen in the Nations League, is remarkable.

But, the temptation of Saudi teams' big salaries could be actractive. His unyielding tenacity suggests he could still shake things up in a softer league. Yet, it's all speculation. He's not hinted at wanting a ticket out of Europe.

Luka Modric has achieved almost everything as a player. He may not have been fortunate in national colors but as a club player, he has won all. I also expected him to move to the US major league or Saudi Arabia Super League. But surprisingly he is staying in Madrid for another year. He once said that he would like to retire in Real Madrid. He is driven by his love for Real Madrid and not money. Coach Carlo Ancelotti said that he wants Modric to stay so that some young midfielders will be able to learn from him. So he will be serving as a player and mentor. Modric will be assisting the new captain of Madrid Nacho Fernandez who has spent 22 years in Real Madrid. Modric still has the strength to play games, I agree that he might go for money next season, especially if he doesn't play regularly this coming season in Madrid.

Saudi league has become the best place to retire from playing in professional football. His mind can change anytime. Football was actually dynamic. It's unlikely modric will try to go to the saudi league this time but you can't sure if he will still try to stay next season. Madrid may not offer him another contract extension again consider his age is very old right now. Im thinking of modric will change his mind before end of next season.

Of course it is still admirable to see him being able to play for 120 minutes despite his age. We saw this in the Nations League you know. But he doesn't seem interested in going to a team outside Europe for now.

He is still having another year to stay and that's why he is willing to play a bit longer in real madrid. I think the different case if real madrid would not offer him contract extension. It may make think think for twice.
He might be going to the arabian club if madrid was not offering him.
