La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

I don't know what's the problem between valverde and baena but this is making valverde to be banned temporary.

Valverde is alleged to have punched Baena, and the matter was subsequently reported to the National Police and the RFEF’s Anti-Violence Committee. The incident was recently announced as “not proven” in the Spanish courts, so the Uruguayan will not face any criminal charges.

However, he could still be banned from playing for Real Madrid. Anti-Violence passed the matter onto the Competition Committee, and MD have reported that they now have the final proposal on the matter.

The three members of the disciplinary body (Carmen Perez, Pablo Mayor and Fernando Sequeira) will now decide whether to pass down sporting sanctions to Valverde, and they have 10 working days to come to a decision.

As long as the ban gonna occur before la liga and that's not a big problem. A bit surprised that valverde has been punching baena. I think that seeing from how valverde was punch him and i can say that if there is a possibility if valvede has been very angry toward baena.
It's very bad to see valverde may get two weeks of ban and he will not able to participate in the pre matches with real madrid. I hope that valverde will not be sanctioned.

It's caused by the court has been announcing if valverde not proven punchen baena. It sounds non sense if valverde will still get a sanction.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are two of the most competitive clubs in European league football. When these two clubs enter the field against each other, neither team speaks to the other team.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are two giant clubs that are always fiercely competitive in La Liga, so it's only natural that no other club talks about the two club.
In the history of La Liga, Madrid and Barcelona have a history of very tight competition, in fact, no other club in La Liga has been able to equalize or offset these two clums.
For next summer, it looks like Real Madrid will be the most dominant to occupy the first position, but on the other hand, Barcelona has also prepared well for the summer so that the match between the two, if they meet, will be very fierce.

Barcelona have completed Vitor Roque signing finally for a 40 million euros transfer fee. He is only an 18-year-old centre-forward right now. He must be seen as a wonderkid that Barcelona allocated the money they can spend this summer for him mostly. However this transfer won't happen now. The deal is going to be completed officially and he will join the team by July 2024.

It is similar to what Real Madrid did for Endrick from Palmeiras. Not exactly the same though because Real Madrid have no choice other than waiting for him due to age issue in his country. These are all investments into their futures and I wonder which one of these players will develop more.

He did very well to take him, he's young, he can grow a lot as long as he lets him play
If he took him to keep him on the bench he did a huge bullshit, might as well buy him and lend him making him play and improve
if you don't play, you don't improve   

This is an investment for the future, a player with enormous potential but also quite risky because nothing guarantees the performance of a player, especially for a young player who is expected to become a mega star in the future, we have seen several examples of failures in the past. happens in the world of football but apart from that if this is successful it will be very profitable for the team.
I think the steps taken by Barcelona are very correct, they are currently working on a long term project and are also focused on next season which is quite mature and in my opinion it is quite good between the processes and also the focus for next season.

certainly buying young players is always the right solution
pay them little and invest in the future
this is the long-term strategy that always pays off, even if you simply decide to sell players and raise cash

Florentino Pérez said they plan to sign Mbappe for the next season. But considering the current situation of Mbappe, I assume Pérez may try to sign him now. Moreover, Real Madrid still has no a top striker, they only signed Joselu. I think Joselu isn't enough to compete for UCL title.

Indeed, after the departure of Benzema, they still do not have a replacement that is at least equal. And with Mbappe, this would be an extraordinary thing, but it's still wishful thinking at this time, because it's still just rumours. But indeed, the rumors in the current transfer market are stronger than before. If previously PSG could make such an attractive offer for Mbappe, this season might be different again. But, will Mbappe return to how he used to be, pressing his desire to go to Real Madrid and stay at PSG for certain reasons and offers.

Situation at Real Madrid is very confusing because things are looking not good for the next season again with specially after exit of Karim Benzema they are missing quality striker even they signed few new names, but they are not as par requirement and as we all know Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez already announces they will not buy Mbappé on current price and try to bring him as free agent which looking not wise decision because if PSG insist about extension in contract, and he refuse then surely most chances they will sell him as few English clubs are in negotiation about this possible transfer with this most chances Mbappé's dream for playing here Real Madrid is going to shatter because next deal is surely going to happen for the four or five years which will create problems for the both parties Real Madrid and Mbappé just because of this Real Madrid has to act quickly.

Joao Felix has shown his intention to leave Atletico Madrid recently according to I have heard. Atletico Madrid actually seemed to have plans for him by not extending his loan at Chelsea. It is reported that they even increased his asking price to 100 million euros. However the player still seems to be keen on signing for a different team.

I feel that Atletico Madrid is not doing the best they can for their young talent Felix.
Before he was loaned to Chelsea, he obviously lacked some playing time in the club which somehow affected his performance.
While at Chelsea, he was unlucky to meet a purely struggling club which made it uneasy for him to prove himself in Chelsea

That team seems like PSG now. However I don't feel like PSG would pay that much to sign Felix. At least he wouldn't be their first choice if they want to pay that much in my opinion. I have heard about an offer by Aston Villa for Felix as well but their not being in the Champions League hindered them from signing him.

I think an offer from Aston Villa will be more feasible than PSG. PSG has a bigger problem of managing Mbappe and Neymar transfer. If they are not done with the two super issues, signing another forward won't be a good one.

Last season Real Madrid didn't get success but Barcelona got success because last season Barcelona won La Liga title. As the La Liga title was missed this season, they will definitely try to win the La Liga title with their maximum strength in the next season.

Real Madrid are one of the favorites in La Liga according to the team they have formed so far. I will definitely put Real Madrid ahead to win the La Liga title next season. There is no doubt that Barcelona will be a tough opponent for Real Madrid, although there is a high chance of Real Madrid winning the La Liga title in the next season.
The early part of the season is very important for both teams because if one of the teams falls behind early in the season, it is very difficult to make up those points later. So both teams have to prepare from the beginning.

Sevilla are a really interesting club. They can still be a dominant club in the Europa League despite having an inadequate season in the La Liga. I mean they started to pull themselves together in the La Liga after Mendilibar's arrival but until then they were really a mess. They were in such a bad situation that Mendilibar barely carried them to the 12th place at the end of the season. They were focused on the Europa League title first of course otherwise maybe they could have even finished in top 7.

But all of this didn't prevent them from qualifying for the Champions League directly by winning the Europa League title. I wonder what Mendilibar will do next season. He has been doing quite good for an inexperienced manager with clubs at this level.

What kind of nonsense are you writing? PSG has no way to sell Mbappe - none at all. The only thing that PSG can do is get compensation for the early termination of the contract, but if Mbappe just plays for another year, then PSG will receive nothing but his services.
Perhaps you should first find out how the contract system and the transfer market work before writing about it?

I don’t understand why the post of @TheGreatPython is nonsense. Because there is actually logic behind what he is saying. And I don’t understand why PSG cannot sell Mbappé. I think they are actually willing to sell him because if they do not sell him right now and there is actually no contract extension for Mbappé with PSG, they will have to let Mbappé go as a free agent. That certainly is not going to be the best business for PSG. But I also agree that it is not going to be a good business for Real Madrid to bring him for so much money right now.

[asriloni]

I believe Real Madrid's staid attitude at the moment after the departure of its main striker Karim Benzema have considered from the start, they entrust Vinicius Junior to overcome the impact in the starting eleven after Benzema officially left the club. And that could be the reason Real Madrid seems to no ambition to bring in a new striker to replace Benzema. I no longer expect Kylian Mbappe to come to the Santiago Bernabeu, he has created a situation as if the Paris Saint Germain club has to obey his every wish. I don't want Real Madrid to be like that

Madrid has brought joselu from espanyol. Ancelotti stated that if he needs only 1 more striker. So many strikers linked to the real madrid but so far, no further updates were coming regarding this. I hope that madrid gonna find the best one which is not so expensive like mbappe or even osimhen.
https://therealchamps.com/2023/07/13/bayern-munich-offer-real-madrid-player/

In another case, bayern is ready to offer tchouameni for €100 millions. It's surprising me to see bayern wanna try to fight for him. PSG is also keep in signing curtois as a new goal keeper from real madrid.
Madrid is now trying to make sure if none of its main players in the squad gonna leave from the club.

well, until now Sevilla is still dominating and becoming the defending champion in the European league and a successful achievement after getting the European league cup Sevilla can automatically get a ticket to the champions league. so, this is hard work for Mendilibar, even though he has successfully made a good contribution to Sevilla last season, will he be successful in the Champions League.
while in the champions league there are very strong teams there and I have little doubt that Sevilla can get a trophy in the champions league.

I just try to think positively about Sevilla that next season he will try to improve in La Liga to still be able to get a ticket to the next European league. maybe

Tchouameni and Courtois seem to have attracted interest from some of Europe's top clubs and it is unlikely that Real Madrid will ever let go of the player despite being paid such a hefty sum. We know Real Madrid is not a team with bad finances and they can still sign a player like Bellingham this summer.

What makes you sure that Real Madrid will rely on Vinicius as the main striker next season?
Real Madrid have been trying to sign Mbappe since Benzema departure, but the complicated process has meant Real Madrid will need to find other targets to fill in as a striker. Last season Real Madrid failed in the UCL and La Liga, relying on Vinicius was a big mistake made by Real Madrid, when he was injured there was no quality striker who could replace his position.

The vacant positions on the front lines need to be filled with quality players to become the ideal partner for Vinicius, Joselu arrival is only limited to fulfilling needs, he cannot be relied upon in his main squad due to his lack of experience in the UCL. Real Madrid will still be hunting for a quality striker to balance their squad to compete in La Liga and the Champions League, Mbappe still cannot be brought in, Real Madrid needs to find another quality striker to become Vinicius' friend on the front lines.

I know it's difficult, but I hope they can do more than what they can do in the Europa League by doing better in the Champions League. They are the rulers of the Europa League, as you can see they have maintained and shown good dominance in the Europa League although we see the opposite when they are in La Liga.

Players are key, which means I see they must be more able to bring players who are mental in the Champions League, because when they play in the Champions League repeatedly they also fail to show their best.

I believe if they can find the right formula, they will be able to compete in the Champions League. and also they might join to enliven the competition in La Liga as they did in the previous 2 seasons.

What do you think the management should do, should they focus on bringing in star players for example, or are there other options that can make them improve? Like regenerating with young players or something like that?

And very soon that continuation will stop because other clubs are seriously making a serious effort the changes will come very soon, looking at clubs playing la liga majority of them are not serious, even when it comes to buying players they don't sure interested in improving there club capacity, and since is now a two-way thing, if they don't improve then Madrid and Barca will continue to dominate, compare to clubs in the premier league and and champions league they are always on fire, the two can not be compared the best thing is that la liga clubs need to improve.

Since Mbappe refused to extend his contract with PSG and since the club president Al Khalifi said it clearly that Mbappe has to renew the contract or leave the club in two weeks then I assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid by the end of the transfer window. At worst he will be sanctioned and will be in the benches the next season so he might accept to leave in the winter transfer window.
Real Madrid has to find a temporary solution only concerning that spot.

This is a self-created problem. PSG is currently behaving like a club who's above the players. It's a bit concerning, as they are the ones responsible for creating this situation. I'm not sure if PSG will truly benefit from selling him at the end of this transfer game. I hope for a speedy solution to this issue and wish that Real Madrid can assemble a strong team around him.

oh yes, unfortunately in the world of football it happens all right
especially when a team wants to get smart then this happens, that it expires it is not renewed and whoever takes the player takes it at no cost (perhaps promising something as a bonus for the reason of having saved on the purchase)

[Nheer]

PSG will be preferring to pay osimhen rather than felix. Felix is still lack of experience. That's the main reason why he has not been added into the atletico madrid's main squad. My guess if felix gonna go to the premier league club again as loan.
The magpies become the potential one to become his next club after chelsea. PIF is monitoring him right now as owner from newcastle.

There several clubs who are seeking to sign felix but PSG preference to sign Osimehn instead is not because felix lacks experience. Compared to Osimehn he is more experienced in terms of european football but PSG needs a natural striker if Mbappe finally leaves and Osimehn would be more threatening in goal than felix. Felix is naturally a midfielder but his role was changed due to the kind of formation adopted by Atletico Madrid. Sometimes he is used on the wing sometimes as a striker thats the major problem affecting him, not being used in his natural position.

Atletico Madrid style doesn’t suit him much thats why they are keen on selling him and he is also pushing to leave. His got lots of potential and i still wonder why pochettino didn’t finalize the deal to sign him. I enjoy watching him at chelsea but maybe its best for the club.

[shogun47]

...//:::
... I still think that he wants him in the Real Madrid team. It doesn't matter what Mbappe said, but everyone knows that he is the best player on earth right now. On a very good day Mbappe eliminates world class teams on his own...  

I don't think he's the best in the world, currently, that is, the best player just for footballing qualities is not enough, international titles and championships are needed, hence that leaves him in the top 10.

Now, if Mbappe has something, it's that he's a player with attitude and he hasn't let himself be "groped" so easily by Real Madrid.

I didn't mean to say that he is the best in the world, but when you try to give the whole situation an objective view, isn't Mbappe the one who creates the most enthusiasm in all the kids and younger players who look up to him? That is a value that goes beyond his quality as a player over a longer period of time, but the moments he has are definitely among the best the sport has ever seen.
