La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[HajiBagi]

In the new season at Laliga, Barcelona will again get strong competition because rivals Real Madrid understand what failed last season, and of course, it will be a heating season because mistakes made by one of them will benefit their competitors, and it looks like Laliga is back will be domination for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Barcelona have so many talented players, the problem is just the coach. It's very rare a good player can become a good coach, same like Xavi Hernandez. What make Barcelona strong is because of high individual skills, the team play and strategy aren't different from one to another match.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

I think you're right about the squad's improvement because we all know that Barcelona is a team with brilliant players who are very strong and good goal scorers. I think the squad won't be eliminated from the champion league's starting lineup so easy if they have a successful season,but As I see it presently teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are going to be strong  in the upcoming LA Liga season. This is because both teams have recently signed young, talented players who are extremely intelligent, and this indicates that there will be a challenge.

Due to my observation, there are no other teams in laliga that have signed many talented players this season than Barcelona. As a result, it will be beneficial if Barcelona performs well in the champion league the following season. If Barcelona fails to try to reach the semifinal or final stages of the champion league the following year, it will be very challenging for them to win the champion league.

Barcelona have so many talented players, the problem is just the coach. It's very rare a good player can become a good coach, same like Xavi Hernandez. What make Barcelona strong is because of high individual skills, the team play and strategy aren't different from one to another match.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

I even saw that in Xavi era Barcelona had shown better progress than the previous coach. I think if we look at the current developments for sure Barcelona is on a better path because Xavi has started to show better development of the strength of the team or the depth of their squad.

I think for now Barcelona have shown their strength in Laliga and I'm sure next season Barcelona will focus all their strength on the Champions League. Apart from that, I think there are things that are interesting for the depth of the Barcelona squad because next season Gundogan will be one of the additional factors for their midfield which will make Barcelona very reckoned with in the Champions League.

This time Barcelona will have a harder season because Real Madrid gut much better players and they are trying hard to improve their performance for the next season. However, the Barcelona we saw in the last season with Xavi, got enough strength to even race for the champions league.

The biggest problem with Lewandowski has rather been to have a difficulty in scoring goals in big games in the Champions League. I watched him waste so many opportunities against big teams there which cost them high in the group stage later. I don't want to put the blame on only him of course don't get me wrong about that. The team effort was also inadequate in such games.

But in this season Xavi will be expected to do better in general as I said. Not only the team effort but also Lewandowski should make a big improvement in their performance in the Champions League. This level is still enough for the La Liga title but enough to be more successful in the Champions League.

In his first season, Lewandowski needed to adapt and also Barcelona's performance, especially in midfield, was not so good, so I think the supply for Lewandowski is still lacking. League, but if you look at Barcelona's development that was built by Xavi I'm sure that in the next season they will continue to grow and Lewandowski will of course still be their mainstay on the front lines, with the quality that Lewandowski has, it's not impossible that he will be much better this season front with adequate midfield supply.

When Lewandowski left Bayern Munich for Barcelona some people were the thing he won't have the same performance in Barcelona also since he is an old player, they were thinking buying Lewandowski was not a smart move at all. While the fact about Lewandowski is he just needs some time to adapt himself to his new team.
However, I think since he getting old, Barcelona should start seeking another forward soon.

-snip-

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.

That's why PSG doesn't make it easy for any club to buy Mbappe, after all, I'm sure that if there are other clubs, including Real Madrid, want to accept the price offered by PSG, the PSG management will still raise the price again to be able to have the highest bid and make it difficult for Real Madrid to brought in Mbappe.
Maybe many PSG fans don't really like Mbappe, but basically Mbappe plays a very important role in the PSG squad.
If next season the contract runs out and there is no further extension then I'm sure PSG will experience a decline in playing performance because several attacking players who can be relied on have left one by one.

If Mbappe really like to play for Real Madrid he will definitely join his season in this season or the next season and he will not accept the offer from PSG to extend his contract even if they pay him more money for the next contract. But I think Real Madrid should think about an Alternative option for Mbappe.

There's no doubting the potentials of Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona and how outstanding they can be against against their opponents in not just domestic matches but also in European scene.
But I think Real Madrid will be careful and calculative than they were last season. Madrid would definitely work on those factors that made them to lose the Spanish La Liga title to Barcelona last season and the fact they have added more few quality players in the squad gives them an edge over the La Liga rivals

It seems that Joao Felix's return to Atletico Madrid did not make him Happy. It seems that he still can't get in touch with Diego Simeone. With these bad rumors, Joao Felix has been linked with many clubs wanting him. I think Joao Felix is a good player, at Chelsea he was not at his maximum because of the coach. There is news Barcelona and Man United are interested in Atletico's most expensive player. Of course they can take advantage of this bad moment to get Joao Felix.

Joao's performance wasn't encouraging at all.. he was really struggling in Chelsea. It also happened in a time that Chelsea wasn't in good shape, buh why should he be blamed? I was expecting that pochettino carries him along in the next season's squad - that's already a long time to develop and revive him.
He is still a good player with too many sign-in opportunities... If the old man feels he can't organize him to play better, then that shouldn't be a problem.

But I think Real Madrid will be careful and calculative than they were last season. Madrid would definitely work on those factors that made them to lose the Spanish La Liga title to Barcelona last season and the fact they have added more few quality players in the squad gives them an edge over the La Liga rivals

I guess what caused Real Madrid losing in the last season is for the fact that they were more focused on winning the championship believing that the local league Spanish La Liga will be a workover for them even though they know the capacity of their closest rival team Barcelona who made a surprising ending to topping the table in the la luga.


But then also we can't tell if the coming season will be that lucky for Barcelona because Real Madrid is presently putting in efforts to get the best player onboard the team against the coming.

[kawetsriyanto]

This time Barcelona will have a harder season because Real Madrid gut much better players and they are trying hard to improve their performance for the next season. However, the Barcelona we saw in the last season with Xavi, got enough strength to even race for the champions league.

Although Real Madrid has better players, I doubt they will perform well if Real Madrid fail to sign Mbappe. I know Real Madrid already signed Joselu, but I think his quality isn't enough to compete with Barcelona. If we compare Lewandowski quality and Joselu, everyone must be aware that Lewandowski is 1 level above Joselu.

When Lewandowski left Bayern Munich for Barcelona some people were the thing he won't have the same performance in Barcelona also since he is an old player, they were thinking buying Lewandowski was not a smart move at all. While the fact about Lewandowski is he just needs some time to adapt himself to his new team. However, I think since he getting old, Barcelona should start seeking another forward soon.

Lewandowski still performed with his best, people who doubted him may not know him well. Although Lewandowski is no longer a young player, it is not a problem as long as he is still productive. We know that Ronaldo still played well when he is in the same age with Lewandowski. I think Lewandowski can play well in the next 2 years.

If Mbappe really like to play for Real Madrid he will definitely join his season in this season or the next season and he will not accept the offer from PSG to extend his contract even if they pay him more money for the next contract. But I think Real Madrid should think about an Alternative option for Mbappe.

I think Mbappe can move to Real Madrid if he doesn't extend his contract with PSG. I'm sure PSG will try to sell him as soon as possible in the current transfer window. They already try to get his replacement, you must hear that PSG is trying to sign Harry Kane. This is a sign that Mabppe may leave PSG in the near future.

[slapper]

This might change quite a bit with the addition of Gundogan who brings in all the experience necessary to compete in the Champions League. He is also a few years younger although Barcelona isn't really adding strength to their squad. Busquets left, Gundogan joined. They are now considering a swap of de Jong for Silva from Manchester City. This would mean de Jong is gone, Silva is added. There is still no significant change that makes the team fundamentally better. They have a good center line from the offense with Lewandowski via Gundogan in the midfield and ter Stegen in the back. But is it quite the same as it was last season despite some names that will have changed when the new season starts.

Of course, they don't have a football player like Messi who changed everything by himself, but I think the midfield of the Barcelona football team consists of really good players. However, there are also rumors that Xavi wants to sign Thiago Alcantara. If Barcelona wants to create an assertive team both in the European cups and in the league next season, they should increase the competition within the team with better quality players. Therefore, it would be a good choice for them to sign Thiago Alcantara after Ilkay Gundogan and Inigo Martinez.

As far as I can tell, Barcelona's midfield is about to go through a major change. Xavi is rumored to have his sights set on Thiago Alcantara, following the recruitment of Gundogan and Martinez. Despite their precarious financial situation, they are obviously not holding back. I have to wonder: is it safe to take this chance?

Don't overlook Gundogan, please. Even if he's been around for a while, time nevertheless moves on. I worry that Barcelona is putting too much stock in him to win the Champions League. It's encouraging to see the team improving, but should we really be looking at the Champions League so seriously already? Not in my opinion.

The men of Xavi Hernandez are well-prepared for the upcoming season's challenges. I expect nothing less than their dominant performances from the previous season, although this time, the blaugrana are coming for everything, although I can say the same about Los Blancos.  Real Madrid consistently goes for the most important championships since they have more experience in elite competitions than their opponents. Carlo Ancelotti is not relenting in his efforts to address the critical issues that led to the club's failure to win memorable trophies last season, but with the prior signings the club has made, they're ready for business.

But in this season Xavi will be expected to do better in general as I said. Not only the team effort but also Lewandowski should make a big improvement in their performance in the Champions League. This level is still enough for the La Liga title but enough to be more successful in the Champions League.

Lewandowski is a great striker but even a great striker could have bad days and he is also getting older as well so even though he has a high technique, that doesn't stop his body from failing time to time. That's when players start to realize they should retire, he should not just yet, because he is still great at the league level, but his body doesn't do what his brain tells him to do anymore, but of course just tiny situations we see in huge games, otherwise he is not that bad.

We have seen Barcelona got eliminated by Inter and Bayern, which were great teams, Bayern is great as we all know and Inter lost only on Finals, so that shows that it wasn't really as bad as people think it was and we shouldn't be shocked about it.

Indeed we have to admit that the players coached by Xavi Hernandes really got a well-deserved win in the league last season, they showed consistency in the league, and today they targeted the UCL as their big goal. Even though Sergio Bequest is no longer part of their squad today, and as before many Barcelona veterans have left the team, it does not overshadow the success brought last season.
Meanwhile Real madrid today Anceloti focuses on changing strategies on the pitch and bringing in a lot of young talent, and yes they have a lot of midfielders today to change the formation strategy that will be formed in preparation for next season, and indeed today Real madrid has a lot of young players to strengthen their future.
But it seems that Barcelona is having a hard time bringing in new players, because their financial crisis has not yet recovered, I hope Xavi can make the most of what he has.

From what I've seen, Real Madrid haven't shown much preparation with the players they've brought in, apart from Jude Bellingham who I think is the best buy of the season. As for the other players who came in, it seems to be the usual. It's not like the Real Madrid I knew in previous seasons when they brought in a lot of star players to the squad. But for now they are focusing on young players which is their long-term program. They're just keeping some of their current senior players.
Yes, it looks like they've changed course from bringing in star players to focusing on young players.

Isn't it when a team doesn't perform well is the result of the players' performance which is also bad both of them shouldn't be blamed by the team or the players but Joao Felix is not a player that Pochettino seems to judge will be able to build good partnerships at Chelsea, because for a team like Chelsea which is currently starting it from the start chemistry is needed so that the players can work well together.
Joao Felix is not a bad player, he just hasn't found the right club to show his abilities again. Moreover, he has a target of only playing for clubs that are also competing in European tournaments. For now, it might be difficult for him to get because clubs will buy players based on appearance before whereas last season he could almost be said to have shown nothing, other than the thing to remember is his first debut with Chelsea he got a red card, and he at Chelsea in 16 matches only contributed 4 goals not a proud statistic for an attacker.

When Felix was at Chelsea last season he came with so much to offer to the team but the coaches that was in charge could not even make use of the player of such skills and ability to cause havoc to oppositions, imagine Lampard doesn't know where to place Felix instead he starts him from the bench. I know he (Felix) would still want to play for the blues if there's a presented opportunity, he's one of the best play maker in that Chelsea team and I wish the Blues could sign him at this point in time.
Even if he plays for ATM next season I don't think the atmosphere would be cool for him in that team, his body language isn't the same as of when he started playing for the a
Atletico Madrid team (IMO), but who knows what might happen before the kick off of next season.

Atletico Madrid is a club that to be used mainly for business, they're not want to achieve anything and only try to find a potential cheap player, then sell at high price. Barcelona don't have a good financial, it's impossible they would sign Joao Felix. I think he will join in one of EPL club again, maybe Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, those clubs are have a high possibility.

According to journalist Achraf Ben Ayad, FC Barcelona youngster Julian Araujo is ‘seriously considering’ the offer to join newly-promoted club UD Las Palmas on loan this summer.

Reports last week suggested that Las Palmas were gunning to sign the 21-year-old on loan for the upcoming campaign and it was indicated that a deal might be close to completion.

However, follow-up reports then claimed that it was not the case and that Araujo was keen on proving himself to Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez during the pre-season and staying at the club.

Araujo was facing difficulty in competing with another playe right back in barcelona. He is now potentially leaving from barcelona as a loan to the las palmas. I think that is even better for him consider he doesn't wanna leave from the club. He is willing to stay in the barcelona.
Loaning him has become the right option by barcelona caused by the club has so many right back at this moment. There must be some people to be loaned to another club. Araujo may not only become a player that will be sending out to another club.
Xavi has been committing in giving more time for the young players to play. It sounds good but it seemed to me if what xavi said will be far from the reality. The fact that if barcelona will always need to use experienced player.
Im feeling doubt if xavi will able to divide the time proportionally for young players of barcelona. Im thinking about barcelona must have done rotations in any matches.

Although Barcelona able to win the last season La Liga, it's an achievement, but they're still not developing.

I think you're right about the squad's improvement because we all know that Barcelona is a team with brilliant players who are very strong and good goal scorers. I think the squad won't be eliminated from the champion league's starting lineup so easy if they have a successful season,but As I see it presently teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona are going to be strong  in the upcoming LA Liga season. This is because both teams have recently signed young, talented players who are extremely intelligent, and this indicates that there will be a challenge.
Due to my observation, there are no other teams in laliga that have signed many talented players this season than Barcelona. As a result, it will be beneficial if Barcelona performs well in the champion league the following season. If Barcelona fails to try to reach the semifinal or final stages of the champion league the following year, it will be very challenging for them to win the champion league.

Benzema was the only reason Real Madrid didn't win the title last season. Real Madrid were overly reliant on Benzema. But Benzema's performances have been somewhat erratic due to several injuries. This is why Madrid had trouble maintaining consistency in performance. Next season they are trying to add a suitable replacement for Benzema to the squad. Perhaps we are going to see Mbappe as Benzema's replacement. If Mbappe joins the Madrid squad, Madrid's attacking performance will be stronger.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Atletico neved had a big dream to win something big. The target owned by the team is always changing anytime. Atletico is strongest team in la liga after barcleona and real madrid but this club has is sometime performing so badly.
I can't even agree with you if the club is not willing to achieve something. I remind back if atletico madrid has been winning la liga during 2020/2021 season. That proves this team is capable enough to compete with barcelona and real madrid. The only main problem if atletico is very often in selling its player like morata which is very close in joining as roma very soon. Im feeling if atletico will become a very strong competitor for real madrid and barcelona next season. I hope that simeone will give felix a chance to play as starting line up but it's unlikely to happen caused by simeone and felix has personal problem.

[Pulsar77]

Actually I wouldn't say that Atletico Madrid don't care about winning titles exactly. Because they have a wonderful history with Diego Simeone full of many championships. He has achieved 9 titles with Atletico Madrid in his career so far. 2 of them were La Liga titles and there were 2 Europa League titles among them as well. For a past like this I would just say that they actually like to be competitive for championships. However there is a problem about that in the recent times.

They can't be as competitive as in the past anymore. Maybe it is due to Simeone's same strategies' not working anymore. If he leaves after this season we would see whether this team will change.

I would say Atletico Madrid's goal is not the La Liga title. They are happy to qualify for the Champions League. While La Liga sides Barcelona and Real Madrid are spending money to strengthen themselves and adding talented players to their squads, Atletico Madrid are not taking the necessary steps to strengthen their squad. They definitely need to spend money to add talented players to the squad. Otherwise, Atletico Madrid will not be able to stay in the title race with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Tottenham may want to sign Joao Felix if they sell Harry Kane. We also know that Newcastle United is still aiming to build a strong roster for UCL. They might want to sign Felix too. I think he's more likely to go to Premier League teams now.
