La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[RaltcoinsB]

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.

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

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.

If Madrid get Mbappe, they might even change the team's tactics. Mbappe was playing striker wing at Psg. If Real Madrid takes him, he will probably consider a forward. As for Mbappe, I have no idea what might happen if he shows off his skills as a forward.

[shinratensei_]

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.

Felix wants barcelona. He is not interesting anymore to be signed by premier league after he performed so badly last season. Im feeling doubt if felx gonna go to the totenham. The final agreement between bayern and totenham have not completed yet.
I remember that if aston villa is also interesting in signing him as a new player too. The competitions gonna happen for so many clubs but felix much try to decide which club that's gonna be his next club soon.

The fact that if this time felix is trying so hard to attract barcelona to sign him. he has a dream to play in barcelona. I had heard that if barcelona was interesting to sign him but financial problem was preventing the club to make it happen.
Felix needs to make sure he can attract simon to give him regular time in the main squad otherwise he will be loaned to another club again.
So many clubs keep signing him as loan. Im not surprised to see that caused by atletico madrid puts very high price for his release clause.

We can't blame someone when they fail to win a title after all in the team there are 11 players all players have the same responsibility
The more appropriate reason is that this season Barcelona is better prepared and playing better so that Barcelona is more deserving of the title
In the following season the two teams did not change much but there is no guarantee Barcelona will win again could be Madrid taking over.

I think Real Madrid was the worse team and they didn't win the championship. Barcelona played very passionately and concentrated last year. The better side in El Classicos was Barcelona. When this is the case, it is not correct to accuse a single player. Real Madrid have to be better this year and they should definitely get a striker for that. Joselu may not be able to handle this region alone.

In some cases, we can blame someone. For example, Mbappe promised a lot of things to Real, but then extended the contract with PSG - as a result, Real was left without Mbappe and without Haaland. I don't think anyone else's fault can be found here other than Mbappe. Although then, of course, he acted in his own interests and thought that he was doing the right thing (how wrong he was hehe).

[Doell]

Real Betis again got players to strengthen their squad, Hector Bellerin is familiar play on La Liga. Even, previously he played for Real Betis in the 2021-2022 season, unfortunately during his time at Barcelona this man did not get much playing time. I think currently Real Betis seem have high expectations for this player because they immediately signed a 5-year contract until 2028, considering that they had previously won trophy Copa del Rey with this player.

Of course, Joselu's arrival has high hopes of replacing Benzema. He can eliminate dependence on Benzema. Looking at some training sessions I was quite happy with his performance. Guler's arrival also makes a sense of optimism for the new season. He showed his quality as a player of hope for the future. With his young age and incredible ability, I think there is certainly confidence to play more that Anceloti has to give Guler. The hope is that no transfer fails due to injury. Such is the case of Hazard.

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid announced their annual financial statements with a 17% increase in revenue for a total of 843 million euros from the 22/23 season and this revenue does not include player sales. Real Madrid closed the 22/23 financial season with a profit of 12 million euros. Even last season's revenue outperformed pre-pandemic revenue in 18/19 of around 757 million euros. With this huge amount of money, it's no wonder that Real Madrid has become the team with the best finances since the leadership of Florentino Perez and even if they were to bring in star players at a cost of over 100 million euros they would have no trouble at all.

Do you think that if you owned Real Madrid, would you use a fraction of that money to sign Mbappe?

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.

like I always say in my opinion, aside from football being a sport to entertain money to has to be considered business is business and I don't think Atlantico Madrid performs that badly in La Liga maybe since they don't have any good competitors there the only dominant clubs are Barcelona and Real Madrid, So even if they are not carrying trophies since they are making money is not that bad. Joao Felix is still very young, only 23 years old, and I think he should just return to EPL clubs. It will even improve his performance, in my opinion, if you want to get better then you go to EPL clubs. there are good chances of you getting better there.

[zaim7413]

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.

I don't agree if you assume that Atletico Madrid don't want to get anything but a young player and then sell him when he's ready to be made into a star player. So far Atletico have been too economical to spend money in the transfer market, which has resulted in them having difficulty competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Business in football needs to be done to make a profit for the club, but trophies are far more important because the aim of competition is just to win trophies.

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.

Reportedly, Joao Felix does have a bad relationship with Atletico Madrid coach, Diego Simeone. He returned to Atletico Madrid indeed to join in pre-season training. But reportedly he trained separately. I don't know the reason behind him practicing separately. But I feel that this talented young player is indeed a bit left out at Atletico Madrid. It is even reported that Joao Felix has a desire to join Barcelona. But that's just a rumor. Because currently the speculation regarding Joao Felix in the sports news media is quite hot. Several clubs have even been linked with being interested in bringing in Joao Felix. But it seems that no one has really shown such interest yet. I personally still feel that Joao felix fits in at Chelsea. but the new Chelsea coach has definitely not included Joao felix in his plans. So Chelsea decided not to extend Joao Felix's loan contract.

Yes, Felix has a less than harmonious relationship with Simione as a result of which he is again excluded from the coach's plan to navigate the new season. Felix, who is a potential young player, is certainly not happy with his current situation. I hope that Atletico Madrid's management must find a win-win solution so that no one is harmed. Barcelona and Manchester United are being linked with Felix, it's just that at the moment it depends on the attitude of the ATM management whether they are willing to let him go permanently or re-loan him. But I think Manchester United are more serious about getting his services than Barcelona.

Rumors about several clubs wanting Joao Felix are quite a lot. Even the clubs that want these young players are not from ordinary clubs but from big clubs that do have quite high finances. An example is PSG, which has also been reported a few weeks ago that they are also interested in bringing in Joao Felix. but PSG did not explain when the time was right to bring in this young player. Because PSG will only hunt for potential young strikers if they can't keep Mbappe anymore. There are even rumors that PSG is willing to pay 100 million euros to Atletico Madrid to get Joao Felix. But Felix himself seems to want to go to Barcelona. But if Manchester United does end up getting Joao Felix then I think that's also pretty good for Felix's career there. it's just that the competition at Manchester United is very fierce between players. So I doubt Felix will be comfortable there.

It's Felix dream to joined Barcelona and he is really excited if Barcelona really want him but this summer a bit impossible for him moved to this team because Barcelona still focusing to improve their financial condition besides that Felix price will be very expensive because when he transfered to Atletico Madrid from Benfica the price was above to 100 millions so i am sure Atletico Madrid doesn't to sell him with cheap price

However regarding Felix future actually a bit confused for me because although he was linked to several teams but none of them were dare to bid for him officially because so far that's still remains rumours and just like i said before he has bad relationship with Simeone so liked it or not he have to leave Atletico Madrid but unfortunately he hasn't much options and this summer Atletico Madrid are not interested to loan him anymore so they were more prefer to sell him

I think currently Real Betis seem have high expectations for this player because they immediately signed a 5-year contract until 2028, considering that they had previously won trophy Copa del Rey with this player.

It seems that Hector Bellerin abilities do not match the criteria that Xavi wants so while he was at Barcelona, Hector's playing time was easy to calculate. There is nothing wrong with Xavi decision to continue to bench this player but for Real Betis, it is clear that for this reason the opportunity to take him is easier. According to Manuel Pellegrini, Hector's abilities are still useful, at least from the fact that Real Betis' defender position last season was not effective.

Of course, Joselu's arrival has high hopes of replacing Benzema. He can eliminate dependence on Benzema. Looking at some training sessions I was quite happy with his performance. Guler's arrival also makes a sense of optimism for the new season. He showed his quality as a player of hope for the future. With his young age and incredible ability, I think there is certainly confidence to play more that Anceloti has to give Guler. The hope is that no transfer fails due to injury. Such is the case of Hazard.

For next season, Madrid will learn a lot from last season so they don't depend too much on one player. Because seeing that several players recruited by Joselu will not be used as the main center of Madrid's strength. With Vini and Rodrygo growing, it makes the 2 most dominant points that can balance each other. Bellingham and Arda Guller are precisely the additions that make Madrid even more perfect.

Hazard is a transfer that failed miserably, because Hazard was brought in at a very high price but Hazard did not have any contribution to Real Madrid. So, even if Joselu doesn't really contribute well, it won't be a problem because Joselu is an old player anyway. So yes, we cannot expect the same performance and contribution between Benzema and Joselu, because of course they have different skills and power. But anyway, at least Real Madrid have a good movement to be able to regenerate the team for the long term, because the young players that Real Madrid currently have are considered to have great potential and quality from time to time.

Joselu was brought in by Real Madrid on loan, his presence in the Real Madrid squad was only to fill the void in the vacant striker position. He is projected as a temporary alternative, Real Madrid is still hunting for another, more qualified striker to serve as a mainstay player in the main squad.

Joselu presence is not enough, Real Madrid still needs other players up front because several players who have been part of the squad have left. Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard. Relying on Joselu is clearly impossible, Real Madrid is still trying to bring in a few more players in order to maintain the depth of their squad to compete with Barcelona in La Liga and other big clubs in the UCL.

Hazard is a reference that money cannot buy prime time, meaning that when Hazard was bought from Chelsea by Madrid in 2019, Zidane was behind this scenario. Zidane wants the Belgian player's service to strengthen Los Blancos during his coaching period, of course Zidane has also prepared a suitable scheme and tactics for Hazard in the Madrid squad. However, the slow adaptation process coupled with prolonged injuries was the main factor in Hazard performance decreasing slowly, in the end Hazard was given a free transfer status because Madrid no longer extended his current contract. I agree with your sentence that he failed miserably at Madrid during his 4 year career.

The striker position left by Benzema was temporarily covered by Joselu and my prediction was only for a moment, before Madrid made official the new signing of Mbabpe.

It's not as simple as you said. The better if you are reading whole of article. Real madrid is also taking a huge loan for the stadium renovation. Just because it was getting a positive result in the last season's revenue and it doesn't mean real madrid can sign mbappe.
You shall also try to under how much cash owned by madrid right now. Real madrid has been taking loan worth €800 millions for renovation of its stadium.

Mbappe's price which was around €200 - €250 millions which is very crazy price for him.

Relying on Joselu is clearly impossible, Real Madrid is still trying to bring in a few more players in order to maintain the depth of their squad to compete with Barcelona in La Liga and other big clubs in the UCL.

So far, I haven't heard much news regarding Don Carlo who is hunting for a striker as Karim Benzema's successor. or maybe, I don't know much about Madrid's target in this summer's transfer window. but certainly, this summer's transfer window still gives plenty of time for Madrid to hunt for a suitable player to replace Benzema. although, most of the rumors are between Madrid, Mbappe and PSG. therefore, I doubt if Madrid will bring in a striker to fill the void left by the previous star. So far, Madrid has inaugurated Joselu as the newest recruit to welcome the 2023/2024 competition. this 33-year-old striker, signed on loan from Espanyol with a one-year contract duration until 30 June 2024.

It's only natural that there are a lot of doubts from Real madrid fans towards Joselu, because this player doesn't have a big name like most of the strikers who have played with El  Real. but we don't know for sure, how Joselu will play his skills when the new season's competition has started. and for sure, he is a player who will be a center forward. if we relate it to other rumors, it is very natural that Don Carlo or the president of Madrid did not bring in a striker who could be relied on far from Joselu. because, they could get Mbappe next season for free. or, indeed Madrid will bring in Mabppe this season. for sure, we'll just have to wait and see what Don Carlo will do ahead of the pre-season match.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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.

There is no luck and they are too focused on chasing the Champions League, so Real Madrid's appearance in La Liga is not fully concentrated. Entering the second half of the season, they also experienced a decline in performance and suffered several defeats which caused their points to be further away from Barcelona. This season they have good strength compared to Barcelona and there are good hopes for next season for Real Madrid.

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.

Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have tried to maximize the team's strengths by trying to sign several players in the transfer market. Real Madrid has clear financial resources compared to Barcelona, so that Real Madrid can maximize the process of recruiting new players.

Real Madrid are willing to spend the maximum amount of money for Mbappe. Real Madrid have taken a loan to renovate their stadium in the media but we must not forget that they are one of the richest clubs. Where other clubs suffer losses every season, Real Madrid earns huge amount of money from this football every season. If Mbappe changes teams, Real Madrid will sit with the highest amount of money to sign Mbappe. Real Madrid don't want to spend their own money to renovate their studio at the moment because they need a lot of money up front that's why they borrow 400 million euros and then renovate their studio, in this case Real Madrid adopted some strategy. But believe me if Mbappe changes club he will come to Real Madrid no matter how big the transfer is.
