La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Leviathan.007]

Yes, I know that at that time many people did not trust Xavi to handle Barcelona whereas he was a former player at Barcelona before he knew how to play the game he had played while playing at Barcelona, a game that is typical of Barcelona will probably always apply its strategy too, unfortunately it takes time for players to adapt to the game Xavi wants.

Even though Xavi failed to bring Barcelona to the UCL, at least they are better in the domestic league. That's why Xavi needs time to show his quality as a coach at Barcelona, especially now that there are new players joining Barcelona like Gundogan, which might make Barcelona's attack power sharper with Lewandowski. can't wait to see how barcelona plays this season i also hope they play better than last season. 

xavi as a coach is not too mature, he still needs more experience to be called a coach who has successfully built barcelona, the pressure that xavi faces is also quite large because if he is not able to bring barcelona to win the UCL trophy then people will question credibility it's training barcelona, in a few hours barcelona will face a friendly match with arsenal, let's see what barcelona can do against arsenal.

As much as Xavi without experience was dangerous enough for them to win the La Liga title in the last season even though they beat Real Madrid with all the stars they have, Barcelona was lucky enough to have Xavi because they spent a few amounts of money while getting good results.

Xavi has done a damn good job at Barcelona. The tea was in shambles when he took over. They were 9th on the league table when he took over, he managed to take them to second with a very small budget
 Barcelona got players for free to help that season. During that half season, Barcelona played beautifully. Fast forward to last season he won the league and also the Spanish super cup. He beat Madrid to win the cup. That's pretty impressive if you ask me. If you watched Barcelona last season, you'll know that they cause of their suffering was injuries. Pedri who is their most creative midfielder got injured for a long time and at the same time, Dembele, who is their most creative attacker got injured for a long time too. Same thing happened to their defense.
Now Barcelona are trying to build a team that won't crumble ones a player goes off injured and if they succeed in that then they might be a fearful force in Europe because they boys all understand what Xavi wants.

I have the same thought, although Xavi has won La Liga title but that's right he needs more experience as a coach. Because when playing in big events like UCL or Europa League his tactics didn't work very well, and I think Xavi must be to think of a lot of tactics to get the UCL trophy if that's his goal in the new season. But for the La Liga title there is a possibility Xavi can get title again, because last season Barcelona was very consistent collecting points and maybe this new season they can also be consistent again.

I think it'll be if we all should praise Xavi Hernandez more than we point out his weakness as the manager of FC Barcelona because he's done exceptionally well for the Catalan club than many had expected
Winning the Spanish La Liga title last season ahead of a team like the star-studded Real Madrid squad is a big example of how well Xavi have transformed this Barcelona since he took over and still showing signs of improvement in the coming seasons

[CLS63]

Xavi is really doing well right now. Barcelona have made a big progress in the La Liga since he started to manage the team. It was such a dominant championship last season. But of course the board's expectations would be bigger than that this season. Not only winning the La Liga title but also doing an impressive work in the Champions League will be important for them. The previous season wasn't good for them in the group stage and the season before that was also no different.

Xavi needs to find a solution to their having big problems against big teams there. Because their potential is much better than this.

[shogun47]

Real Madrid wasn't bad as if they played horribly bad, but they were up against a far superior opponent. Even if you have a strong team on paper, in some years there are teams that are almost destined to win it and not many people had any doubts that last season Manchester City was overdue to win it. It was exactly the time when they peaked with their performance and the second leg was a lesson for Real Madrid against them. But that doesn't mean it will be the same this season. Everything is back to zero and regardless of the outcome of last season, Real Madrid is again one of the favorites for all three titles.

I would say that Real Madrid's performance last season was terrible because they were barely able to win any other title apart from the Copa Del Rey. Real Madrid failed in La Liga, they failed in the Spanish Super Cup, they also failed in the Champions League and it was a big blow for a team that was the favorite last season.

Last season Madrid played badly, that is a fact. I think you need to admit it even though some of your explanation about other teams are true. Real Madrid and all the La Liga teams that will play in the Champions League next season will return to zero, even for Manchester City who are the reigning champions.

Real Madrid wasn't the favorite last season. I would have agreed if you said they were a favorite among others last season. If any team really was the favorite, then the favorite was Manchester City. Benzema was nowhere near his shape from the season before and they had problems in both their defense and their offense. But I would still say that they weren't horribly bad. I mean they won the Copa del Rey and destroyed Barcelona in the second game, but that still doesn't make that season a good season, I understand. Horribly bad is a season like Chelsea played it and Real Madrid was more as if they were out of breath and not having enough intrinsic motivation. The success from the seasons before made them feel satisfied. That is how I saw them play.

Real Madrid failed in La Liga, they failed in the Spanish Super Cup, they also failed in the Champions League and it was a big blow for a team that was the favorite last season.

Since their poor performance from last season, the club has made changes to the team, and they are in a better shape right now than the shape they were in. They have signed new players that are very talented and made adjustments to the team from last season. They will have a good test against Manchester United, that have equally developed a lot from last season's game. Eik Ten Hag said that Manchester United do not play friendly games, so Real Madrid should be ready for tough game from the English team.

Real madrid performance in last season was very terrible that small teams were able to defeat them several times in the season.  Real Madrid struggled both in Premier league and in Champions league,  but this season Real Madrid have brought some players that will be really good in performance,  the bad performance of Real Madrid last season is something they would not want to allow to repeat again this season.  The Champions league  has always been a target to Real Madrid which they really need to win it this season.

They really challenged for the Laliga trophy last season and won, but were not very tough in Champions league and was kicked out of the league to Europa where they also got kicked out the competition by Manchester united, they kept making several errors making it the second straight season they've been kicked out of the champion league in the group stage, they were not focused on the game and lack composure in several areas of the team the coach was really surprised at the performance of his players in the Champions League and I belive that he'll be able to correct his mistakes this season, well he's already started by improving some areas of the squad that lacked composure by letting go off some players for free and bringing in Ilkay Gündonga who had a very good performance horse mancity and contributed to the winning their first treble last season, he's a top player and would add composure to midfield of the club this season and help them challenge for the trophy.
 They also signed a defensive midfielder Orioi Romeu from Girona and central back Nico Gonzalez from Valencia to replace departed players though they're still other areas that they could still focus on before the end of the transfer window, and I belive they have a better performance this season in the Champions League Barca have been consistent in representing the Spanish league in the UEFA Champions league and would look to challenge better this year.

Xavi already has good age and experience as a coach, but the strategy given by Xavi is sometimes inefficiently used for Barcelona, but at least the Barcelona players have tried their best to win in every game they face. Meanwhile,  in this match against Arsenal, it shouldn't be any determinant because this is just a friendly match or like practicing. If Barcelona plays seriously in this match, then everyone will know the strategy used for Barcelona.

[asriloni]

As much as Xavi without experience was dangerous enough for them to win the La Liga title in the last season even though they beat Real Madrid with all the stars they have, Barcelona was lucky enough to have Xavi because they spent a few amounts of money while getting good results.

Barcelona has been trying so hard to use the money efficiently and xavi was helping the club a lot. Xavi is trying to help the club caused by he has been hired as a coach by barcelona and the club is also facing financial problem at this moment.
The fact that if barcelona doesn't have a lot of money to buy the expensive players due to the unstable financial condition. Xavi was able assembling barcelona even he has been only getting some new players with cheap price.

I would like to see that how good the performance by gundogan. It will be also a very interesting thing to see that his performance with barcelona after he has decided to leave from manchester city.
Barcelona was also unable to raising around 200 millions to get financial stable. La liga president has urged barcelona to do that but so far, only a few players sold to the another club with cheap price.

Since Xavi is still a young and inexperienced coach they can give him a low salary and extend his contract for a longer time because if they get other achievements with Xavi in the next season they need to increase his salary.
We even expect to see more from Xavi and his team and the last season.

Probably, Real Madrid has bad performance last season behind 10 points left from Barcelona who won La Liga tittle, Carlo Ancelotti looks priority with Champion League competition than domestic league and finally both competition loss and Madrid won Copa Del Rey only. Little difference for this season after Real Madrid success bringing several top player and looks strong composition, but still have weakness space after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ahli still not finding the same level replacement for striker position.

Current transfer activities, Real Madrid has better transfer than Barcelona and other teams in Liga and I sure this season looks difference for Real Madrid winning domestic league and get back UEFA Champion League.

Xavi was indeed a quite surprising coach last season. He made the choice to make Barcelona only focus on Laliga. And make Barcelona not prioritize the Champions League. I can say this because we can clearly see how different Barcelona's performance was when they played in Laliga and when they played in the Champions League last season. Well Barcelona when playing in the Champions League did not seem too ambitious to win. Even they don't seem to mind the defeat they get. And conversely when Barcelona played in Laliga they really showed extraordinary performance which was not shown in the Champions League. It seems that Xavi really wants to bring changes to the club slowly and in no hurry. And getting the title at Laliga is already an extraordinary achievement for Barcelona, ​​​​who won for several seasons without lifting a trophy. But I'm pretty sure for the coming season Xavi will definitely focus on the Champions League. He must have felt confident this time after winning Laliga last season, so it's time for this season Barcelona to show its fangs in the Champions League again. We'll see if this will come true or not. Competition in the Champions League is more difficult. But when we look at the Barcelona vs Real Madrid match last season, I think we can see and measure Barcelona's strength, it deserves a higher place in the Champions League.

Oh, by the way, are you aware that the football news media currently talks more about Mbappe's closeness to Barcelona. Although I feel this is just a rumor that is really ridiculous (considering Barcelona's financial condition that is not doing well). But I'm just wondering if this actually happened it would be a big surprise. I want to see Real Madrid's finger-biting Reaction. I really hope Real Madrid act soon to get Mbappe.

[Queentoshi]

Real Madrid has bad performance last season behind 10 points left from Barcelona who won La Liga tittle, Carlo Ancelotti looks priority with Champion League competition than domestic league and finally both competition loss and Madrid won Copa Del Rey only. Little difference for this season after Real Madrid success bringing several top player and looks strong composition, but still have weakness space after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ahli still not finding the same level replacement for striker position.

Real Madrid will be stronger next season even with the departure of their main striker from several seasons. They were able to win the game by two goals and the second goal from Joselu was a very spectacular kick that they new Manchester United Goalkeeper could do nothing about. Joselu can become the major striker for Real Madrid until they can get the player they have always wanted, that is Mbappe, that is if they are able to get him if another club does not tie him down with a contract.

It's true that not winning the Champions League and La Liga is a setback for a club as big as Real Madrid, a fact that the departure of a player who made a strong impact on the pitch and dressing room like Benzema destabilized Madrid. It will be even worse I think if Luka Modric and Toni Kroos leave at the same time what will happen to the Madrid squad. Last season's Copa Del Rey is usually just an added bonus for Madrid, who have often won the Champions League and La Liga trophies.

Real Madrid new chapter has begun by recruiting several midfielders who are considered to have the potential to replace the role of players who are entering the age of veterans and retiring. This is an anticipatory step for the long term if Modric and Kroos are no longer at their current level of play, a step that must be made.

One goal chip and one bicycle kick goal

Jude Bellingham and Joselu scored beautiful debut goals in today's pre-season game against manchester united and the 2-0 win has kept Real Madrid on the positive side. Real Madrid appeared with almost all of their core squad in the first half and they took the lead quickly in the 5th minute through a goal scored by Bellingham. If we look at the match earlier Ancelotti used a 4-4-2 formation with Bellingham as a false nine and it went very smoothly.

After that the game got more exciting and after changing almost all the players in the 60th minute, that's where Joselu came in in the second half and scored a goal beyond the expectations of the audience with a bicycle kick. It's only pre-season but Real Madrid are already showing their seriousness for all competitions next season and if they can stay consistent then this is without a doubt the best squad out there right now.

Looking at the list of his coaching history you are right he is not a mature enough coach because his coaching history is still very minimal, but it's great with minimal experience, and at the beginning of his training at Barcelona he managed to bring his former club when he was a player to become a laliga champion, maybe there will be many who say it happened because their rivals were not in a very good condition but that's not entirely true because it's proven that Real Madrid managed to beat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final and Real Madrid made it to the semi-finals of the UCL, so Xavi actually faced a difficult season at the start of his presence at Barcelona but with a squad that there is something that is not much different from the squad when Barcelona under the old coaching managed to maximize every opportunity that existed.
As for the UCL, it is quite difficult to predict whether Barcelona will be able to return to playing well like when their star players were still there, but of course, Xavi will try to bring his team to play well, but I predict that the financial difficulties that Barca are currently experiencing will become an obstacle for them to be able to excel in Europe because of the difficulty in buying players because currently their new players are dominated by players from free transfers.

This is an anticipatory step for the long term if Modric and Kroos are no longer at their current level of play, a step that must be made.

Real Madrid will soon meet Barcelona who have just started their first preseason game against Arsenal. It is a very tight game and both teams have played well. Barcelona even though it is their first game after a while are showing really good performance being able to score two goals. There is still a lot of work to be done in their defense because Arsenal players are putting them a lot of pressure that they so far have not been able to handle well and had Arsenal's Saka not missed the penalty, Barcelona would have entered the second half trying to score an equalizer. Barcelona need to improve before they play Real Madrid.

Yep, 2 very good goals in their friendly and both were scored by new players in brilliant fashion.
There were some really good things that I saw in this match.
Firstly, the way some of the players are adapting to Madrid doesn't seem to have any problems and two friendlies with five goals is actually very good for their productivity and I was a bit worried about Benzema leaving but now that's possible to overcome.
Let's hope their goal productivity isn't just for friendlies.
btw it looks like Mmartinez at Manchester United is on fire because looking at the way he plays and tackles it looks like he doesn't realize it's a friendly match lol.

They had good debut goals for Real Madrid and those goals are helpful for them to tighten their confidence to deal with pressure in a coming season. Especially Jude Bellingham who transfered to Real Madrid with very high transfer price that contains high expectation and pressure on his shoulders.

Joselu actually wants to step up higher in his career as he knows if he succeeds in Real Madrid as a replacement for Benzema, his career will get a big milestone that will help his position in Spanish national team as well.

Think positively that they had good debuts for Real Madrid that are important. For a coming season, let's wait for their performances but having good pre-season friendly matches is better than having bad ones, it's clear.

Those beautiful goals magnify their performances but they should not obsess with scoring such goals. What they need for a new season is good adaptation to the new team, play well, contribute to general operation of the team, better if they score goals or make assists. Beautiful goals rarely come so don't obsess and try to make it.
