La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[3meek]

I think, Barcelona will soon loose their peace to sign in more potential players that will help them to maintain that first position in the la Liga league competition next season, so that their coach will experience another honor from the fans again. If Barcelona coach can release money to bring Kylian Mbappe in this summer, I think, Real Madrid or other strong teams will not challenge Barcelona next season because their defensive and midfield is very strong for their strikers to achieve many goals in this season. Since Karim Benzema has left Real Madrid to another team and kylian Mbappe manager is not willing to release him to Real Madrid, show that Real Madrid will still face the Same challenges they experienced last season.

Kylian Mbappe's move to Barcelona would be brilliant if finances were right. Barcelona's finances prevent this. Let's not despair: they're still Barcelona, right? Xavi navigated the team through several hurdles last season. Even without major transfers, they can defend their title with the appropriate strategy.

Real Madrid is difficult without Benzema. It will be intriguing to observe how Ancelotti compensates for this loss. Coaching and management are vital in these times. Barcelona has potential, ambition, and a strong squad despite financial challenges.

Probably there will be a new drama in La Liga with Real like it was once with Barcelona..... Without Benzema it will be really hard for Real, considering that last season they couldn't even compete with Barcelona.... I think the Catalans will take the first place again in the new season...

I'm with you here, the Catalan side has it complete but I don't know what exactly Ancelotti is doing. Benzema used the opportunity of being a free agent to move to the SPL where money is speaking now and I love that. At 35, I don't know what he could possibly want again if not for money to further nurture his retirement time.

Besides, many players have been bidded by the Los Blancos side but it seems they do not want to spend money on a very good striker. I don't know how they intend to achieve that in this highly competitive window.

They still have time to find a possible replacement, so the last word is not said on this matter.
Honestly, I have good expectations, but if I understand correctly, they would also lose the coach who goes to coach Brazil or am I wrong? So it could get bad

[Hvdv]

This was just a friendly game which doesn't show the real performance of any Real Madrid players yet. I can still agree that Bellingham wasn't bad of course. He had a decent performance. I believe that he won't have serious level of problems with adaptation. He is already a young star and Real Madrid has been like a dream team for him to play for.

I think that we will mostly see him in the central midfield. There are Modric and Kroos there of course but I think Ancelotti will start to give their young stars more chances from now on. Modric - Kroos duo are already likely to leave the team after this season. Bellingham can be a permanent member of the starting eleven in a short time hopefully.

In accordance with what you said, with this friendly match, the enemy can know expertise and maybe find weaknesses in one club, but many of their teams are already aware of that and don't play seriously, so this friendly match is more likely to be like training.With this friendly match, the Real Madrid coach will definitely consider a good strategy and use it for next season's matches.

For Ancelotti, this tournament is important. It is an important tournament that will show how the players can evaluate the positions within the team. All the teams in the tournament are big teams. In the first match, they came 2-0 behind Milan and beat them 3-2. After tomorrow they will have a match with Manchester United. I am also very curious about Real Madrid in the new season.

Yes, you're right, Ancelotti will be coach of Brazil team in the summer 2024, so he'll still have a whole season to win La Liga and possibly another Champions League. ) By the way, there are rumors that Real have already offered Negelsman a place in Real, after Ancelotti's departure, so that he waits for this season and does not sign contracts with other teams. Maybe it's just a rumor, but who knows. )

Xavi Hernandez is delighted with his current squad, which is always ready to maximize their on-field performance. IIkay Gundogan, Barcelona's summer addition, is excited to play alongside his new teammates in preseason games. The bluagrana would have played Juventus, but given that everything that caused the tie against the elderly lady to be postponed was due to the intervention of a nasty virus among the players, perhaps it's only a matter of time before it's resolved. The bluagrana have good reasons to compete for top competitions in the coming season, they have what it takes.

Im feeling the same as you. How disappointed me to see that the match against juventus being cancelled but i had got a confirmation if they will not cancel the next match. Barcelona are gonna face arsenal. It will be a good match to be used as measurement how deep the squad that owned by barcelona after it has acquired some players like gundogan from manchester city. We can consider Arsenal as a club that is currently at its peak.. It can be a good test for arsenal.
Barcelona can be considered as a strong team if the club will be able to beat arsenal in the upcoming match. I hope that barcelona will be performing even better. It will be so good if barcelona will be able to destroy arsenal in the pre match.
That 's gonna be a nightmare for arsenal once barcelona gonna face arsenal in the UCL. We do know that if arsenal has been qualified for UCL. No reason for barcelona not to use its best squad and full team to face arsenal.

Each league must have a very different style and culture, so preparation is needed for new players to adapt, language will make it difficult for players to receive direction from changing strategies on the field instructed by the coach, because maybe when they play the initial strategy does not match and must be replaced and building partnerships with players must also be adapted to the language used by most people on the team.

The pre-season is an illustration of the quality of the game that needs to be improved and from there an idea is born to cover weaknesses in which positions. The pressure in the pre-season trial matches is indeed very different from the matches that will be lived in the actual competition, for that reason pre-season needs to be carried out for improvement before heading to the official league.

Its important thing with new players have adapted well with new league want to play actually understand what instruction from head coach, some players have understand well with English language and not difficult have to play with top european teams from La Liga, Serie A or Primer League. New Real Madrid signing has experienced with top European teams and actually they can speak English well and some of them as Spain national players and will easy for adapting with new scheme from Ancelotti.
Pre Season match is mini illustration from composition one team for preparing next season match, many players change each pre season match its show how every head coach want to try with all players they have and know when league start which one potential become main or reserve players.

Real Madrid seems to be the most obvious club for him, but I would have also liked if Manchester City tried to sign him and he could become a left wing attacker there. Together with Haaland they would be a crazy offensive duo, but I guess that is not going to happen. Although I wonder whether there have ever been any approaches by Manchester Cit to check out whether they would have a chance or whether they don't even need to try. They would be able to do it in terms of the finances, but it would almost be too good to be true if that were to happen.

Manchester City are not chasing Mbappe, maybe because they already know that Mbappe's age is nearing retirement and the contract he is offering is very expensive. If Manchester City tries to buy Mbappe, it will take quite a long time to return the investment.Manchester City are more inclined to look for players who are still young and have very good skills on the field, so Manchester City will target that player.

Haha are you saying that Mbappe is nearing retirement because of his age? If I may ask you, at what age is it standard in your world to retire? Mbappe is 24 now! I doubt that he is dealing with retirement already or that Manchester City thinks age is a problem in the case of Mbappe.

But they may know more than everybody else. Perhaps their did reach out and see whether a transfer could become possible or not and if Mbappe's people said that it is either Real Madrid or some absurd offer from Saudi Arabia, then there might be no point for them to prepare an official offer.

A 24-year-old football player cannot retire. For him to retire, he must suffer a severe career-ending injury. Apart from this, no football player can retire at the age of 24. Not if we talk about Mbappe because he is one of the best players in the world. He still has goals and wants to shape his future in line with these goals. I think Mbappe will play football until the age of 37-38 unless he has a serious health problem.

I have been quite disappointed on Sevilla yesterday. They haven't managed to beat Osasuna with one extra man on the field from the 61' minute. They had all their odds on their side, but still missed the victory. Oh. well.. it happens from time to time in football. After all surprises are the element that keeps this game alive. Looking forward to next week's matches. Will probably spend more time on analysing those and maybe come up with some interesting parlays.

Well a surprise is actually quite a pleasant sensation in the world of football. And actually when talking about surprises and Sevilla then I think last season we were quite surprised by Sevilla's poor performance in Laliga but very good in the Europa League. Even Sevilla surprisingly won the Europa League last season after beating AS Roma in the final. We don't know what surprises there will be from Sevilla in the coming season. But to be honest I won't expect much from Sevilla next season. Because at this time even Sevilla is in a pretty bad financial situation, namely the club is in debt. It is even reported that Sevilla is ready to sell their mainstay players and several other players to overcome the club's financial problems. So it will be very natural if Sevilla is not very good in the coming season. But I will be very surprised if Sevilla can still maintain its form amid the financial crisis that the club is experiencing.

About Mbappe to Barcelona yes it isn't possible at all for now. However in case Mbappe signs for Al-Hilal for a season then Barcelona would have some more time to make their finances better. But it is still doubtful if they can make things very positive in only one season. Even if they do they should get rid of possible obstacles due to FFP rules on one hand. After that they can start making bigger signings just like in the old times. But still this feels like daydreaming for me. 

Mbappe must have even made up his mind about joining Real Madrid forces next season. Even if the conditions are available it would still be quite hard for Barcelona to convince him I think.

Mbappe must have even made up his mind about joining Real Madrid forces next season. Even if the conditions are available it would still be quite hard for Barcelona to convince him I think.

It is impossible by many reasons.

Barcelona don't have hundred of million dollar to buy Mbappe. They don't have deep pocket to pay him high salary. They already have a good striker Lewandowski and they are not better than PSG so they can not help the player satisfies his ambition to win Champions League. If Mbappe has to choose PSG or Barcelona, he will surely pick PSG.

Why does Mbappe need to choose Barcelona when he has three better options?

He can either stay in PSG, move to Madrid or move to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia. They are all better options than Barcelona in this summer and maybe next several seasons. If we don't consider about difference in salary offers, only consider about chances to win Champions League. It's fair to say Barcelona does not have better chance than PSG as Xavi will need more seasons to build up a winning team in Champions League and he needs luckiness to win it too.

[JeffBrad12]

Probably there will be a new drama in La Liga with Real like it was once with Barcelona..... Without Benzema it will be really hard for Real, considering that last season they couldn't even compete with Barcelona.... I think the Catalans will take the first place again in the new season...

What kind of drama it is? Benzema has been developed so many years before he was reaching his prime with real madrid. We can't even expect the same thing gonna happen with another player like joselun. Joselu is returning to Madrid after more than ten years because he performed well last season and is available at a low cost. Madrid is coming with the new squad and it was able winning the game against acmilan. The hope is still there for madrid to take la liga trophy again next season.

I don't understand why Mbappe is linked to Barcelona when there were rumors he agreed to join Real Madrid next year. It makes the case even more confusing for me. It's caused by so many fake rumors appeared at the same time.
It's very crazy to see that if people were always talking about mbappe everyday. He will always become the hottest topic till next week. This will probably true caused by there are so many fantastic news were coming from him and madrid.

Yes, you're right, Ancelotti will be coach of Brazil team in the summer 2024, so he'll still have a whole season to win La Liga and possibly another Champions League. ) By the way, there are rumors that Real have already offered Negelsman a place in Real, after Ancelotti's departure, so that he waits for this season and does not sign contracts with other teams. Maybe it's just a rumor, but who knows. )

If Don Carlo can lead Real Madrid to win La Liga and the Champions League, then it will be a sweet farewell for him and Real Madrid. But I wouldn't have high expectations of what they will achieve this season, because it's not an easy task at all, especially since their competitors have also built their squads during this break.
I haven't heard anything about Nagelsmann and Real Madrid. And also I just heard this rumor for the first time, because previously many speculated about the possibility that Real Madrid would return to their former coach, and that has become their habit.

[hyudien]

It should not be forgotten that this is a preparatory tournament. We see that neither the teams nor the players fully increase their performance in the friendly matches. In addition, Milan and Real Madrid changed almost all their players during the match. That's why they played with different field combinations. In the second half Real Madrid took the win with Valverde and Vini. I will be watching the next friendly game with interest.

The Pre-season Tournament aims to measure how ready players are to face much more serious challenges in the next season. So it doesn't matter whether it's pre-season or not because doing an evaluation by each club will be more helpful in solving problems including the deficiencies experienced. Next, Real Madrid will face Man United. It is clear that this is an important match, even though it is not taken seriously by most people, but for the sake of repairing each other's gaps, I think pre-season is still important and very helpful.

It's very good to see that bellingham looks so easy to adapt with the play style of real madrid at this moment. Joselu is still remain the problem at this moment. I hope he can perform better next match.
Ancelotti praises bellingham's performance but not for joselu.

As long as there is still an old generation in Madrid, Kross and Modric will both help strengthen the mentality of young Madrid players, including Bellingham. Because with Real Madrid achievements, both Kross and Modric will try to leave the responsibility as well as the legacy of Madrid, which will be passed on by the younger generation. The remaining time will be short, therefore Kross and Modric decisions are very correct and become mentors for all young players. Plus Ancelotti's contract will expire next year, so there are many tasks that need to be completed.

It will take time for Bellingham to perform at his best with Real Madrid, that will definitely be in line with the plans built by his coach next season. It's not easy to get a new player to immediately perform at their best in 1-2 matches, but sometimes they need half a season for the adaptation process.

I think Bellingham will have a good season at Real Madrid even though he is new, but of course he needs good support from his team-mates. Real Madrid certainly expect him to do well and contribute a lot to the team next season, but it's important to see him improve.

Bellingham experience at Dortmund will help a bit so I am also sure that he will soon find a match with each other. Seeing how the training process continues to be carried out will also improve mentally as well as build bonds between fellow players. Before next season starts Bellingham will definitely get what he should have with Madrid.

Real Madrid has always been a team that had a good combination of individuals that can play their roles perfectly. Just because they brought in a new player who has been showing great potential does not mean that the team will suddenly change for the better and they will win everything. But it has certainly improved the squad. Real Madrid has been playing with midfielders that are quite old. But still, they were doing very well.

Rome was not built overnight, hehe

we all agree that with a winning mentality Real Madrid will always have its own way of building its ideal squad. We will always enjoy Madrid's transition process and observe its growth because that way it will be more enjoyable when it is formed into a perfect team.

well, that all we can hope for because Ancelotti was actually a great coach during his time at Real Madrid and now there are rumors of him leaving for another team. I'm a little unsure whether Real Madrid will be able to get their title back in the Champions League next season because next season a lot of teams will change their composition to become stronger and if this is indeed the award from Ancelotti for Real Madrid to win the Champions League title it will be very touching.
Regarding the Nagelsmann news, I haven't heard any news either and it looks like it's just speculation by Real Madrid fans, but my hope is that Real Madrid, at least next season, can get the champions league trophy as a farewell to Ancelotti.

I thought that if a coach coaches a national team, it doesn't prevent him from coaching a club... I could be wrong, but I think some coaches have coached national teams and clubs at the same time... Although probably for Real Madrid this option is not suitable... I didn't realise Ancelotti would be leaving the club in a year...

Unbelievable rumor with Mbappe linked to Barcelona because they don't have good financial and how come possibility for paying Mbappe salary. Despite signing Mbappe as free agent next season still difficult for Barcelona because they have problem with financial and many cases transfer not paying full like last two season transfer Ferran Torres from Manchester City.

I don't think good ideas linked Mbappe with La Liga teams between Real Madrid or Barcelina because this rumor only amd have been running for long time but not reach agreement to sign him. Have many star players and I think Madrid or Barcelona can sign other player than hope for signing Mbappe.

It’s laughable thinking Mbappe is nearing retirement age. He’s still young with lots more to give. Retirement is probably the last thing on his mind. Manchester City may not have plans for him to have him in their squad or they did reach out and could not afford to have him. Definitely nothing to do with his age.

I think it has always been Real Madrid on his mind but now, another mouth watering offer from the Saudis is on the table. Would the offer take his mind off a future deal playing for Real Madrid?

He could retire if he wanted to, I agree with that, but retirement in general is nothing he is thinking about.

This guy will be swimming in money later in his life and he could become the richest sports professional in the world as he is only 24. Even if he signs a contract with Real Madrid later on, it doesn't mean he would leave too much money on the table. The sponsorships are also going through the roof as he is known all around the world. He would get beyond a billion already if the accepts the offer from Saudi Arabia and thinking about what could be in the pipeline for him, he could be making several billions of dollars.

A coach can be in charge of a national team and a club. But this will not be the case for Ancelotti. He will be leaving by the end of this season next year. He has been assigned to lead the Brazilian national team to the 2024 Copa America. And the competition will start in June next year and by then almost all the leagues in Europe have ended. For now, the coach of Fluminense, Fernando Dinizis in charge of the Samba Boys until the Italian take over next year.

Coaching the Brazilian team will be a challenging task for the Italian because national teams are not like coaching club sides. In national teams, you will have to work with many bodies such as the Sports ministry, Football association, and even the president. He has to face the entire nation and not just a city as in the case of football clubs. The Italian will want to make history with the Brazilian team by winning competitions starting with the Copa America.

The football news media has gotten a bit confusing lately. Some news titles and news content sometimes don't even have good relevance. But all that was done to increase traffic to their website.

And Mbappe has always been a topic much sought after by football fans. In fact, I personally type almost every day in search engines regarding the latest news updates about Mbappe. And yes, sometimes there are some inconsequential and even exaggerated news.

But in essence, there are indeed many clubs who are interested in signing Mbappe, causing a lot of speculation and unclear rumors to arise. For now, the club believed to be the closest to getting Mbappe's services is Real Madrid. While the other clubs are just rumors and don't need too much attention.
