La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Josefjix]

Glad to see arda was picking the right choice. His future will be more promising when he was choosing real madrid but it seems like ancelotti is not stopping to add more players. The latest news if ancelotti is trying to add more striker to the club.
It's not yet clear who's gonna be the next striker to be added by him after real madrid take joselu from espanyol as loan. Madrid is also planning to take another striker with loan status.
The team is not willing to waste its money to buy the new striker permanently. Real madrid prepares huge money for mbappe next season. Jude has bought by real madrid with crazy price as well. Im not feeling so good with him.
Im still favoring kroos and modric to play together and jude shall have learned from both of senior midfielder in real madrid.
The rumor has been also telling some strikers like vlahovic and jonathan david to be approached by real madrid.

Arda Güler is a young promising player at Fenerbahçe, he made the right decision when he chooses Real Madrid over Barcelona, he keen on making the move to Santiago Bernabeu to signed documents with the Los Blancos. He's my favorite, and I like the style of madrid this season, not signing players older than 30, they go for the young players who possess enough strength to feature in league games. Carlo Ancelotti makes sure the experience players mingle with the young ones inother to teach them how to adapt fully to the team's pattern.

Atlético Madrid spirit is to fight for the top spots in La Liga and play in advanced stages in Champions League without spending much money. I don't expect them to change that and start a spending spree for the titles. If they want to be first, they would changed the coach but they are OK with Simeone since his tactics work with what they are expecting in the end of each season.

Indeed, many doubted Joselu because during his time with Espanyol, his appearance did not stand out too much. Especially in terms of age, if Joselu is an outstanding player from the beginning to his current age, it may have become a bone of contention for big clubs. But the reality is not at all, let's hope that at least Joselu can prove something different for Real Madrid even though there are other options like Brahim. Mbappe is increasingly unclear and his funds are difficult to predict. Meanwhile, Liverpool are challenging Madrid in the hunt for this transfer market.


Madrid and Barcelona are in the race for Turkish up-and-coming Arda Guler but it seems he is more interested in Madrid as Ozil suggestion makes sense to him. Despite Barcelona's failure to sign Arda Guler, they immediately transferred this option to the Wonder Kid Brazil, namely Vitor Roque. It would be very interesting if Madrid and Barcelona have additional players of the same age to become players of the future.

If we refer to Joselu's statistics in the 2022/2023 season with Espanyol, his performance was not so bad, he played 33 matches as a main starter and scored 16 goals. in fact, he is in 3rd place of the top scorers in La Liga. at least, Joselu can still be said to be quite productive at his age which is no longer young. maybe that's why Don Carlo chose him to replace the position left by Karim Benzema.

Well, if we compare it with Benzema, it's only natural that there are many who doubt Joselu. because after all, Benzema is better than the striker from Espanyol. but apparently, Carlo Ancelotti has considered it very carefully to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu. besides being quite productive, Joselu also has experience requirements as a center forward. for now, we can only assume and speculate. but we will find out soon enough, once the new La Liga season has started.
As for Mbappe, the rumors are still confusing and there is no official claim from PSG. so we just have to wait and see, will Mbappe stay with PSG, or...

now this is interesting, I just found out that Barcelona and Madrid are in a race to sign Arda Guler. and even if Arda Guler chooses Real Madrid, Barcelona will still make sure to bring in Vitor Roque as a potential young player from Brazil.

In my opinion, i think Real Madrid and Florentino Perez are playing a financial politics with the Mbappe deal. Why do i say so? Mbappe has a year left on his contract; which means he can agree a free transfer deal off to Real Madrid in January 2024, with bumper sign on fees and other benefits. Real Madrid is probably weighing their options at the moment, Sign Mbappe now for 180-200 M or wait until he becomes a free player and sign a prenup in January.

Its a tight call, and i think Real Madrid is also playing mind games, signing Joselu and then declaring that no more striker signings haha. Lets see what happens until September 1, when transfer window closes

If Real Madrid had that scenario to sign Mbappe then I'm sure they wouldn't be able to sign the deal. However, it is perfectly reasonable that PSG would expect any profit for their starlet Kylian Mbappe, so they would not be so reckless as to let him leave without any benefit for the club.

Florentino Pérez can plan anything, but in the end the decision will be made about Kylian Mbappe. I don't think it's appropriate for PSG to let Mbappe go on a free transfer, it's something very ridiculous for them when other teams can make big profits for their star players.

[giammangiato]

Yes, Atletico Madrid is fairly well place in the table but no better than Barcelona, and to lead the league title next season I think Diego Simeone's squad is still under Xavi's team in some ways.
I don't see anything special about Atletico Madrid this season because they are indeed one of the favorites in the top four so nothing is different if we look at previous seasons

come on you can't compare Atletico Madrid with Barcelona, you're really making a wrong comparison
let's say that there are two strong teams, in my opinion, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the others have to fight to get into the Champions League
no one can aspire to first place in La Liga except those two at the moment

[marcous]

Atletico Madrid is only limited to the favorite team in the top four positions, they still have difficulty surpassing Barcelona and Real Madrid because the squad they have is still below the quality of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Atletico need to make big purchases in the transfer market to become competitors to Barcelona and Real Madrid in fighting for the title, so far the La Liga trophy has been alternately won by Barca and Madrid.

Diego Simeone is a good coach, he also has the credibility to bring Atletico to win La Liga, the problem is that failed to bring Atletico to win La Liga because the squad they have is not ready to compete with Barca and Madrid. I really dream of Atletico being transformed like Arsenal who spend large amounts of money to bring in quality players, if Atletico dares to bring in some quality players, they will be ready to compete for first place in the standings list.

It seems that spending money to buy a star player is not their style in every transfer exchange. Diego Simeone released more star players than buying it, let's say Griezmann who was released to Barcelona even though Barca was their own competitor in La Liga and then bought it back from Barca after the price dropped. Seeing Atletico's style on the Tranfer Exchange is almost similar to the style of one of the Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund clubs who like to sell players to rival clubs Munchen.

The dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona does look firmer, naturally because the two clubs have a lot of money to buy star players. But a little mistaken if many call Atletico as a complementary club and favorite of the top four La Liga standings because when viewed from the statistics of achievement in the last decade they have also won La Liga twice in 2014 and 2021. At least with the achievement it can Past the dominance of two giants of La Liga Madrid and Barca giants, and for the transfer window this time it looks like they will not be as brave as Arsenal in spending their money to buy star players.

Atletico Madrid also have some habits of expensive transfers, but I believe they have a good business strategy when it comes to player transfers. Their record for the most expensive transfer ever was when they signed João Félix from Benfica for €127.20m.

But you can find out some others about their transfer record at this: Transfer record in Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid are title contenders instead of just Barcelona and Real Madrid. I agree about that.

Yes indeed, in my personal judgment also that Atletico will never be able to get a big chance to win the La Liga title. Although for example Atletico can win the La Liga title, and maybe I will conclude that Real Madrid and Barcelona are experiencing a decline in performance in that season. Maybe this kind of judgment can be attributed to underestimating Atletico, but I don't care because it seems to be the reality. So yes, no matter how much effort Atletico put into building a team in the off-season like this, but in the end Atletico will still find it difficult to be the strongest team throughout the season in La Liga. But apart from this assessment, basically I don't hate Atletico because I like the style of play adopted by Diego Simeone who has strong characteristics in every match.

Even though Atletico Madrid are not the favorite team in La Liga, but I have seen them really able to make La Liga competition better. If Atletico Madrid is too weak, then La Liga becomes very boring due to the dominance of Real Madrid and Barcelona. We have had Atletico Madrid win titles with Diego Simeone in recent seasons, but many times they are just Champions League contenders instead of winning titles.

If all La Liga teams could have a lot of budget to build a quality team, then this league rating would be better. The Premier League is better because of the financial condition of its teams, while La Liga, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A are not any better than them.

Barcelona and Real madrid are the two top clubs which until now have been a little difficult to compete with other clubs and I say that Atletico madrid is not bad and when compared to the two top clubs it is very much different because of the very far performance.
But at least Atletico Madrid can still give the best for their fans to fight for champions league tickets even though it's a little difficult to fight there because there will be several big, very strong clubs and Atletico must fight and try in their own way.

Yes, I agree with you. For me, even though Atletico Madrid is not the favorite team to win Laliga, every season puts pressure on Real Madrid and Barcelona, even in the Champions League. And this is very natural if Atletico Madrid find it difficult to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona because they like to sell star players, but what's great is that Atletico Madrid remains club-oriented, still looking for titles. This is very different from most other clubs, they often sell players only thinking about money but cannot compete in terms of winning trophies.

If I look at Atletico Madrid where the great strikers shine and it is appropriate that in my opinion it is called a great team. This is very different from other clubs, I take an example like Chelsea where many great strikers have faded. there are the names Hernan crespo, Mateja Kezman, Arjen robben, Andry sevchenko, Moh Salah, Claudio Fizzaro, Fernando Torres, Radamel Falcao, Alvaro moratta, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku so far.

Comparing Real Madrid and Barcelona to other teams in La Liga is silly. Other La Liga teams probably don't spend half as much money as Barcelona and Real Madrid spend on building their squads. And so we cannot compare Barcelona with Atletico Madrid. Atlético Madrid tries to build a stable squad with less money. And I would say they are quite successful. The team has managed to finish in the top four of the points table in every season. We see quite a few good performances from Atletico Madrid every season.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the highest echelons clubs in La Liga. Athletico Madrid are probably in excellent condition, although they were unable to catch up with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Diego Simeon, the Colchoneros manager, is contemplating a major transformation in all areas of the club and is ready to challenge Los Blancos and blaugrana for the La Liga crown of glory. He is the captain of the vessel strategist for the club's accomplishment over the course of time, and he is going to manage new players who will strengthen the club's performance.

I just saw this news:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CuUhgZaobiM/

PSG president doesn't want Mbappe to leave psg next season freely, so psg president gave mbepp 14 days to choose to extend his contract for more years or leave PSG now. well, i'm posting this in this thread because rumors have constantly appeared linking mbappe to real madrid and with the departure of benzema real madrid had to hire joselu to replace benzema, i don't want to underestimate joselu but in my opinion this would be a excellent opportunity for real madrid to buy mbappe and with that they would already have a very well prepared team to compete with barcelona next season

it will also be good for real madrid to have mbappe if they want to win the champions league, i doubt very much that real madrid with joselu will be able to achieve anything next season, so i hope that real madrid will be able to bring mbappe to santiago bernabeu, it would be great to see real madrid with mbappe. but I still haven't seen any news coming from real madrid about this position of the PSG president, maybe in the next hours or days we'll get to see more things, if mbappe extends his contract then real madrid won't have a chance anymore

[emrecemsan]

I have been following the recent news related to the young and promising Turkish player Arda Guler recently. He is such an impressive talent at this very young age that he has been monitored by even huge teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid these days. Firstly Barcelona wanted to sign him and they were close to an agreement. However Barcelona wanted to loan him right away and he didn't have such intention. After hearing about this Real Madrid intervened the race quickly and finished the deal.

Normally his release clause is 17.5 million euros but the details of the deal go up to 30 million with add-ons. Real Madrid must be really satisfied to sign a talent like him for a very cheap price.

An important factor for this is that I think there needs to be some conditions where a change of coach might have to happen.
Even though Simeone is also one of the coaches who is quite good in La Liga but when talking about his career at Atletico it's been a very long time and I think there must be some changes to change some of the schemes that are carried out.
Simeone's schemes are always the same almost every season and of course the longer this goes on the more it will be read by other clubs because the pattern will not be much different.
His best season is also over for now after they won La Liga a few years ago but after that their performance was stagnant even though they could be in the top 3 again and again but when talking about the title race they still seem to be very difficult to do that.

[SatoPrincess]

Valverde is of players who were bought as future preparation for Real Madrid. In last several seasons, he is one of most fastest growing players together with two Brazilian players Vinicius and Rodrygo. Real Madrid will not sell Valverde when they need him and both are happy with each other. Valverde did not say any word that he is not happy in Madrid and want to leave the club.

The offer from Liverpool is not big enough to bring Valverde out of Bernabeu too. Real Madrid is not a club that is ready to sell their star players when they are young and usable for the club. Especially with Valverde, we know he is happy with his club, not like Nikolas Anelka in the past.

Valverde is an important player for Real Madrid, I am even surprised to hear his name being mentioned as a target for Liverpool this summer because Real Madrid never indicated a possible sale of Valverde this summer, I believe he is part of the club’s plan for the future and if Liverpool are serious about signing him this summer, it will definitely cost them a huge fee to make it happen.

[cytpoway121]

Big news for Spanish La Liga as Carlo Ancelloti has signed a pre contract to head the Brazil national team right from June 2024 (The end of next season). These signing means that Real Madrid has at least 10 months to find a quality manager to coach their young squad who has lots of potentials too.

Massive season ahead for Real Madrid; how would Spanish teams react to this news? Time will tell.
What do you think about Carlo Ancelloti decision too? Tell us below.

Atletico Madrid have made the Griezmann signing permanent by paying 20 million euros. I think the fee is quite favourable when we think of his age as well. His contribution to the team in this season of the La Liga was really mesmerizing - 15 goals, 17 assists in 38 matches. He is a really beneficial experienced player so I think they have done the right thing.

There is a really interesting situation at Atletico Madrid now after the returnees. There are 2 second strikers and 3 centre-forwards in the squad now. Because Felix and Cunha have returned to the team this summer. First I thought that Simeone didn't have plans for Felix in his game plan anymore. But after that they decided to not loan him to Chelsea again.

Morata's contribution was with 13 goals this season. It can be counted as decent when we think Simeone uses a formation with 2 centre-forwards mostly. But I still hope to see a nice rivalry between Morata and Felix.  

But they don't have a top striker like Diego Costa used to be in the past or Griezmann as well before he went to Barcelona, where his performance dropped dramatically.

I still don't understand why it didn't work out that well in Barcelona because he was a top striker in my opinion. He didn't need a lot of chances and when he was in front of the goal alone, it was a goal for Atletico. He lost this confidence when he switched the teams and he also wasn't quite the same when he came back to Atletico. Now at 32 he could have left maybe one or two seasons on a top level, but he also looks like he is less motivated than he was like six or seven years ago.

[lalabotax]

It seems that many are still expecting Mbappe, but we have to be realistic that Mbappe will not go to Real Madrid, especially in the current transfer season.

You cant be certain. The transfer window is still long. A lot can happen in a month.
If Mbappe doesn't want to sign a new deal, PSG can be forced to sell him and use the money to strengthen their squad. Madrid will not buy Mbappe for the amount PSG are asking for.

Yes, it's like that, we are very curious about the final result, will it be the same as the previous seasons or will there be a very nice surprise for Real Madrid later. I just saw on Transfer Market social Media that if there is still a chance for Real Madrid to hook Mbappee, there is still a chance for a done deal. This really makes me curious ahha
