La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

Even though it looks selfish in terms of every match, I think it's fine to rely on Kylian Mbappe because he can indeed be superior to other players with very strong performance and the tactics that are always used are very precise.
But I understand that Ancelotti is thinking again about getting Kylian Mbappe because of fears he will change strategy which will end in conflict with other players at his own club.
Kylian Mbappe is indeed a very talented player but I don't like it when he is too arrogant like he wants to excel himself.

I am agree with that because indeed Mbappe can always play well and has points when the opportunity arises.
If it weren't for Mbappe being a great player with quite good attacking skills, it would have been certain that PSG would have released Mbappe and sold it to another club.
Ancelotti is an experienced coach so it is impossible for him to worry that Mbappe's arrival could change strategy and lead to conflicts with other players, there must be a way that Ancelotti uses to make Mbappe have a good game and be able to collaborate with other players.

The steps taken by Real Madrid are very appropriate not to be too hasty to catch up to Mbappe and it is better for Real Madrid to just watch the problem get over first. I think that even if Real Madrid came now to get Mbappe it would really make PSG a little arrogant and also of course they would not hesitate to increase the transfer fee for Mbappe because at the moment only Real Madrid can afford Mbappe. But if Real Madrid are patient enough to wait until next year, they won't spend a penny on Mbappe and that's where PSG will really feel the loss and regret it.

I think PSG will let Mbappe go in this transfer window so if Real madrid want to wait for Mbappe to end his contract next season that will never happen. On the one hand, Psg bought Mbappe at a fairly high price before so they don't want to lose Mbappe for nothing in the coming season. So, Real Madrid should be able to see the opportunities that exist to make an offer this month or next month if Real Madrid are really serious about getting Mbappe.

PSG management certainly hopes that Mbappe will not leave this summer and he must also sign a new contract extension. However, behind his good attitude PSG was not well received by Mbappe, so speculation arose about Mbappe's future in this transfer window. I hope Real Madrid can take a serious approach to Mbappe.

Although there is an opportunity this summer to sign Mbappe, Real Madrid understand very well that the fee desired by PSG is very unreasonable, it could be 150 million euros to 250 million euros. Try to imagine which club would want to pay a player with the remaining contract for one more season at such a high cost.

Apart from that, Real Madrid will certainly calculate the salary expenses that will be given by Mbappe and of course that amount is not small considering that Mbappe is a star player. Well, it's the above factors that I think have kept Real Madrid from making an offer until now and Florentino Perez would prefer to wait for Mbappe until his contract expires next year.

I also personally think that if Mbappe leaves PSG and joins another team, then PSG will break the basic structure of the team. Because Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the attack, it will be very difficult for the team coach to fill that need by replacing him with another player.

I think, Barcelona is planning to bring in some potential players in this summer, but I don't know if they have the money to sign kylian Mbappe and Victor Osimhen because those two players have potential skills to improve any team that will embrace them in this summer. Now that many teams are seriously working to ensure they sign in talented players that will help them to improve not to end up in second position or third position in the la Liga league competition than to work hard to ensure things work for their favour by winning the la Liga league title next season. Real Madrid is still focusing on PSG striker but the money the team is demanding from Real Madrid to pay for the player is making Real Madrid to quit, because they don't have such money to sign only one player in this summer.

Mbappe and Victor Osimhen I think are too expensive for Barca. they already have some up front, I don't think Xavi will push himself to throw a lot of money on one or two players at a very high price.
Barca with what they have at the moment will have no trouble in La Liga I'm sure. the most important thing for Xavi at the moment is their consistent performance. the target of the La Liga trophy or the Champions League I don't think is their priority. Xavi has shown his quality with the Barça team, no one will doubt his ability to manage a team that is even in financial trouble.

I don't think Mbappe will ever be on Barcelona's radar. Currently, the Blaugrana almost have a mature squad with unstable financial conditions. I think the arrival of Gundogan is enough to complete the Barca squad to return to control of La Liga. Osimhen could be the right option if Xavi wants to add strength to his attack line, but the price is too high, of course the team from Catalan cannot afford it.

Yes, it doesn't make sense for Mbappe to be on Barcelona's wanted list, this is impossible because Barca are in a bad financial condition. In addition to the several sanctions received recently, Barca must comply with the transfer market policy. I think Barca is a club with an extraordinary mentality in this regard, with the financial situation and the squad in need of rejuvenation they can still win La Liga. Utilizing big names and recruiting players with free transfer status is a good policy, so you avoid sanctions.

Next season I think Barcelona will still be the favorites to win with Madrid, Munich and Man City and Inter Milan in the Champions League. In La Liga, of course Real Madrid and ATM are the toughest competitors, on the other hand if they succeed there will be a new contract extension for Xavi and in his coaching career he will follow in the footsteps of Pep Guardiola.

If you look at Real Madrid's pre-season fixtures, they will face AC Milan in the near future, interestingly Real Madrid will face many big clubs in their pre-season matches. I want to see how they do in the pre-season matches, I won't judge them and conclude, but I will see the development they will show during the pre-season matches. There will always be a difference between pre-season matches and real matches, but it can be a reference even if it doesn't guarantee it.
We'll be shown some matches from big clubs as they prepare.

Real Madrid have new great players and they surely will add to the strength of that team, and maybe also add variety in terms of formations which can use of Real Madrid coach, because sometimes a coach often do experiments on his players. So yes, although that match is a friendly match but it might be good reference because the coach will try several formations. Also, interesting is that they will be playing vs Manchester United, if i'm not mistaken it's been a long time not meet since they last match in 2018.

Now they need a few things to rebalance the attack and to play big clubs like this straight away is of course pretty good.
Milan, Juventus, Manchester United and of course the last match I'm waiting for the first El Clasico with Barcelona.
Even if the format this time is only a friendly match, it will still be very interesting because no matter if it is an official match in a competition or a friendly, the tension is still the same because both have high prestige so the tension will definitely rise.

Speaking of El Clasico, Barcelona are now without their plauer golden era as players have left. Benzema and Lewandowski's rivalry was very short-lived, now we need to find candidates for player rivalry to heat up the El Clasico atmosphere even more  .

Players are valued and some are undervalued, with accordance to their performances. The blaugrana have no ambitions to sign Kylian Mbappe, who has been linked with Real Madrid for specific time, or Victor Osimhen. We are talking about players whose demands are greater and more valued in the transfer market, and Barcà has not offered to sign them, even if they would if their financial situation was better balanced. This summer, Barcelona added several good players, including IIkay Gundogan, who would strengthen the midfield for Xavi Hernandez, a fantastic structure for the club.

transfer rumors regarding Mbappe are always associated with teams that have not too bad finances so Barcelona will not be linked with Mbappe because the price is too expensive and for now Barcelona is recruiting new players in the transfer market for free without taking the risk of buying new players with slightly high price.

btw, I'm not sure if this summer Barcelona is still the favorite whereas from the changes in the line-up it looks like Real Madrid has the upper hand this summer unless Rea Madrid has other goals like last season when chasing the champions league cup and not too focused on La Liga. and I think for the champions league later Barcelona will not be easy to continue the match.

Barcelona can't put expensive players on their radar for now. Because the FFP rules are a big hindrance for them to make bigger signings. Otherwise they were targeting to bring back Messi to the team. They were only going to need to offer a contract to him without a transfer fee as he was free agent. But they couldn't even perform that as a result.

Let's say these rules allowed them to make big signings now. Still I also doubt whether they have enough funds to afford Mbappe's demands and PSG's asking price both. His asking price must be around 200 million euros and I can't even imagine the whole package with his contract conditions included.

[kro55]

For this reason alone, Ancelotti may be reluctant to include Mbappe in the squad. Mbappe is capable of scoring a lot of goals and his fitness is very good. But his behavior is completely different from Real Madrid players. Real Madrid is a strong team as a team. Real Madrid's good results are due to the contribution of almost every player in the team. Ancelotti will certainly not want to rely solely on Mbappe to shape his strategy. Mbappe's main problem is his unwillingness to assist. He just wants to score.

Yes, I agree with your view about Mbappe, who looks a little more selfish than his team-mates. If Madrid do sign him Ancelotti will surely change a few things in Mbappe's attitude, and certainly no player is bigger than the club. I think Ancelotti understands Mbappe's attitude very well and I'm sure he can handle it easily, considering that he has coached so many football stars.
If Mbappe doesn't join this season, Madrid will also have no shortage of options for their striker position, and there are plenty of other best striker options they can get in this transfer window. Harry Kane and Osimhen are the two names most talked about in the transfer market this time, both of which are also reported to be in demand by Madrid. But I don't know what is clear that Madrid will remain as a club that has history before Mbappe came, hopefully if he officially joins he can add titles to Madrid.

I doubt that you can create a significant change in Mbappe regarding his self-perception, his character and how he behaves towards other people and teammates. He isn't a gentleman and he has no issues showing his egoistic attitude. It's remarkable how different two world stars can be when you compare Haaland to Mbappe. Haaland is a modest guy, permanently trying to contribute in any way possible, enjoying goals of his teammates, trying to assist them as much and as good as he can while Mbappe is more the Ronaldo guy. I prefer people like Haaland who know that they are the best, but they mean it seriously when they talk about potential self-improvements and also about their weaknesses. This sets real stars apart from others.

Mbappe and Haaland's character and temperament are completely opposite. Haaland is modest. At the same time, his aim on the field is not only to score goals. His goal is to help the team win. And that's why Haaland and Manchester City played so well last season. But Mbappe is not like that. His performance seems to be his only goal is to score goals. His reluctance to assist or pass the ball. His relationship with the team players is also not good. And we have seen its negative effect on PSG's overall performance. If Mbappe wants to become a legendary player, he must be humble. Instead of playing with the goal of scoring, the overall performance of the team should be improved.

I think the arrival of Gundogan is enough to complete the Barca squad to return to control of La Liga. Osimhen could be the right option if Xavi wants to add strength to his attack line, but the price is too high, of course the team from Catalan cannot afford it.

If we are using our sense and it will be impossible to think barcelona gonna put mbappe on its radar. The club is not even solving its financial problem. How can barcelona pay like 200m to the PSG for mbappe? It's too good to be true.

Barcelona needs to sell a half of its players to make it happen. Gundogan was enough. Barcelona just need to focus to find busquet's replacement at this moment. That's all needed by barcelona right now.

People were linking mbappe to the barcelona which doesn't even make sense to hear that.

It could happen, but as you say, it doesn't make sense because Barcelona are struggling financially. And also for now their squad seems better prepared with the presence of new players, especially Gundogan who was brought in for free from Manchester City.
I have a ridiculous thought about Barcelona and Mbappe, I mean Mbappe will end his contract next season, that means there will be a free transfer, well I want to see if they will be one of the teams that will compete for Mbappe or not with his free agent status. Lol, that was my wild thought.

[JeffBrad12]

I also personally think that if Mbappe leaves PSG and joins another team, then PSG will break the basic structure of the team. Because Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the attack, it will be very difficult for the team coach to fill that need by replacing him with another player.

Mbappe is good in playing as attacker but he does have very bad personally. I can take it as my conclusion after i saw so many problems about him and PSG. Even this problem was also being published by various media. I can't even accept his personality.
Mbappe is always creating sensation by even blaming his own club. A professional football shall have good attitude. PSG can replace him anytime. The only problem is if i have heard that mbappe was not willing to leave from the club.
Real madrid has been refusing to buy him with big amounts of money. Mbappe is now in a complicated situation. He must be facing PSG and its players. I have heard that so many PSG players unhappy with his statement.
I hope he gonna out from PSG as soon as possible. Real madrid shall try to make a clarrification regarding mbappe's transfer. I think all of madrid fans can unsder the reason why madrid was not interesting to buy him.
I read that if even PSG urge madrid to buy him as soon as possible.

Let me tell you for sure that Barcelona is not going to get him. Even if for some weird reason, Mbappé ends up happening to be a free agent, and even if for some weirder reasons, no other clubs offered more salary, to Mbappé, compared to Barcelona, I still do not think that Barcelona will be able to get him. Because Barcelona simply cannot afford to give him the money that he wants. I am quite sure that Barcelona cannot even afford to give him the money that PSG is giving him right now every season. So it does not make sense at all for Barcelona to actually even think about Mbappé.

Speaking of El Clasico, Barcelona are now without their plauer golden era as players have left. Benzema and Lewandowski's rivalry was very short-lived, now we need to find candidates for player rivalry to heat up the El Clasico atmosphere even more  .

Regarding the rivalry, currently Real Madrid doesn't have a mainstay striker like Benzema, so Lewandowski is likely to regain the position for La Liga top scorer in the new season. Because previously he also succeeded in become the top scorer with 23 goals, but it would be interesting if Joselu could show his quality as a main striker, considering that previously he was also the top scorer with 16 goals.

Barcelona managed to sign Gundogan because Gundogan is also on a free transfer and also, even though Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid for a long time it is also not a guarantee that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. So yes, anything can still happen and "for example" Mbappe to Barcelona, it is also still possible to happen. But unfortunately, Barcelona do not have stable finances in this moment and of course, with financial management that is not good then it makes Barcelona at this moment do not have big plans to bring in the most expensive players.

Although 23 is also not overwhelmingly good, it is quite average for a world class striker in La Liga. Barcelona didn't win their La Liga title because of their offensive performance, but because they played amazing in their defense. That was the key to success for them last season. I hope for the better of the competition in La Liga that Real Madrid plays a better season this time. it was too boring too early on in the season. This extra class went missing a bit in La Liga although I know it is almost impossible to revive a rivalry like that between Ronaldo and Messi. Those two guys carried the whole league internationally.

[rendravolt]

I think Barcelona's current problem is in their finances so they are not very active in hunting for star players at high prices, currently Barcelona is more focused on future investment, coaching or buying potential young players and buying several senior players who are ready and mature. to balance the team's performance, I think it's a pretty good step when im internally experiencing financial problems.

This fact cannot be avoided, but as long as Barcelona can allocate each portion and also do the right goals, I think it will produce something sweet. Sometimes we can't criticize a team with bad finances like the one faced by Barcelona and indeed they can't buy star players like some of Europe's top teams.

I think the transition to talented young players or players who are more mature from that experience is good enough for future development. Now barcelona may be challenged whether they can return these financial problems to a stable point so that we will also see barcelona will compete with other European teams in fighting for star players.
