La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Update from barcelona's score.

Barcelona was losing against arsenal. King havertz has been helping arsenal to lead the game. It seems like that barcelona's squad is not as strong as before. Barcelona needs to do some evaluations before the start of UCL.
It's caused by barcelona's level is still above EPL club if this time barcelona will lose against arsenal. Xavi has been using best squad to face arsenal. The game is still running and im waiting for another goal that may come from barcelona.
The defensive line of barcelona is still having a lot of weakness. Xavi needs to use the result from this match as an evaluation to the all the lines in the club. Barcelona was losing 4-2 against arsenal. How weak barcelona is right now. Im feeling skeptical if barcelona will able to win UCL next season.

Barcelona needs to sell so many of its defenders. The defensive line of barcelona is very weak.

[borovichok]

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.

At NRG Stadium, the Los Blancos net 2 nil against the red devil's. Madrid is engaged in a challenging friendly game against Manchester United. Carlo Ancelotti met Erik Ten Hag in pre-season, warming up his troops and defeating the Red Devils with such outstanding work. Jude Bellingham is already performing like an excellent player for the Los Blancos. He fits in perfectly and scores the first goal for his new club. Manchester United had little chance of winning the game. Martinez's defensive play was excellent, and he made numerous spectacular tackles, but his team was defeated.

Barcelona lost the match 5-3. Barcelona scored a goal in the 88th minute, and conceded a goal in the 89th minute. Barcelona's midfield and attacking performances were quite good. But I don't know why Barcelona's defence collapsed in this match. I was very disappointed with the performance of Barcelona's defenders. If the defence is so weak, nothing good can be expected from this team in the Champions League.

Against Manchester United and Barcelona, the two big teams, Arsenal's performance was quite good. Although they did not attack much against United, the Arsenal team played completely attacking from the beginning of the match against Barcelona. Although the first half ended 2-2, the second half saw the dominance of Arsenal players.

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.

true, he lacks coaching experience but that doesn't necessarily mean something negative
can build his experience slowly and brick by brick, as everyone has done, as Carlo Ancelotti for example
my 2 cents

Against Arsenal, Barcelona performed well in the beginning of the game, but they did not perform well in the middle of the game, which led to the loss of the Barcelona team. In the middle of the match, Arsenal went on a rampage, especially Learndo Trossard's brace, which gave Arsenal a huge lead. But in this case, the Barcelona team did not succeed even though they attacked a lot because their attack was very normal, they only had to score through the counter attack. But because of not using that method I think Barcelona lost by two goals. Especially in the last period of the game, Barcelona scored a goal, but Arsenal scored another goal within moments.

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.

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.

Based on what we saw during the pre-season match, between Barcelona vs Arsenal show that Real Madrid will defeat Barcelona to make their fans believe that what happened last season that made Barcelona to lifted the la Liga league title will not happen this season.  The new players Real Madrid manager signed into the team are really doing wonders in their training that is giving the manager hope that without Karim Benzema they can do well in this season to make their fans happy through the tournament. Arsenal has proven it again, that they will definitely display wonders in this season because Arsenal were able to disgrace Barcelona in the friendly match 5-3 to show how prepare they prepared for this season to embrace many titles.

I personally think Real Madrid will never make the mistake this season, like last season, that they will do very poorly in La Liga while focusing on the Champions League. Because I believe Real Madrid is the team that deserves to secure the La Liga title so far.

Barcelona was losing a lot of goals against arsenal. It surprises me to see that. Arsenal beats Barcelona 5-3, despite Barcelona being favored to be the best club in the world next season. barcelona's level was still under arsenal at this moment. Trossard was man of the match in friendly match against barcelona. It's very crazy to see how barcelona is weak compared with arsenal. I would not be surprised to see that if real madrid humiliated by manchester city last season.

Arsenal was losing against manchester united while MU lose against real madrid. So many jobs must be done by xavi. I will be waiting for xavi's comment regarding the performance from the club. Barcelona is having horrible defenders.
Xavi needs to sell all of them to buy the new defenders but the question is who is gonna buy barcelona's player? So many barcelona's players are rejecting to leave from the club. The wanna stay in the club no matter what happened with their career.

Different results were achieved by two La Liga teams, Real Madrid and also Barcelona in the pre-season match depend on important or not with this achievement but could make confidence for La Liga match will begin few weeks later. Real Madrid won against Manchester United 2-0 and most expensive recruitment Jude Bellingham scored one goals and Joselu answer public speculation after success scoring fantastic goals. In other match, Barcelona defeated by Arsenal 5-3 and bad result for the first pre season match for Xavi Hernandez.

Many home work for Xavi Hernandez actually conceded 5 goals, he needs to push his defender player back to the top perform on next pre season match against  Real Madrid on July 30.

[Razmirraz]

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.

Real Madrid anticipated more quickly ahead of the departure of Modric and Toni Koos by bringing in quality midfielders, Modric and Toni Kroos were only offered a one-year contract extension from Real Madrid, meaning that if next season their contracts were not renewed, Real Madrid would lose two talented midfielders who had has helped the team for a long time and has presented various prestigious trophies. Currently Real Madrid really needs a quality striker to make up for last season's failure, Real Madrid will face a big challenge in the Champions League after several other clubs have started to improve. The embarrassing defeat to Manchester City last season needs to be evaluated to prevent the same mistakes, Barcelona has also brought in new players to strengthen their squad on different lines.

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.

Jude Bellingham's bicycle kick goal was worth watching. The midfielder gave his team the lead by scoring a great goal within minutes of the game. In the first match for Real Madrid, he scored a goal in the first match, also a bicycle kick. Bringing him to the club for so much money is sure to be a successful transfer. I hope everyone is happy with his performance in yesterday's match. Real Madrid were positive enough against the Red Devils from the start in the friendly match against Manchester United. Madrid were playing their usual game against Man United from the start. Manchester United ended their game goalless in the first half, but Manchester United did not manage to score against Real Madrid in the second half. 
Joselu came on the field as a substitute player and scored another goal for the team in the 60th minute, this star confirmed the team's victory. The match of Real Madrid against Manchester United was a very enjoyable match.

I found Barcelona's defence somewhat aimless in this match. It was probably a friendly match. Not a very important match. However, Barcelona should have taken this match seriously. Because in the Champions League, they will face a tougher opponent than Arsenal.

However, this match made it clear that Barcelona's defence is now quite weak. Although Barcelona's defence played well in La Liga last season, we saw Barcelona's defence in Champions League and Europa League matches being weak. For this reason, if the team wants to do well in the Champions League next season, there is no other option but to strengthen the defence. Xavi should definitely be added to the experienced defender squad. Otherwise, Barcelona will fall behind in the competition with Madrid in La Liga.

It's just a pre-season match so some football clubs don't play well because they want to show their true strength when the league they are living has started.
But it's true that Real Madrid played quite well with the acquisition of 2 goals created by Jude Bellingham and Joselu.

For the start of La Liga later, it looks like Real Madrid has been prepared to chase goals in every match so that they can occupy first place in the standings.
One challenge for Real Madrid is Barcelona because for other clubs I'm sure Real Madrid can beat easily but for Barcelona it's not as easy as we think.

With the way Real Madrid performed in the preseason game, I believe that Real Madrid's performance will remain the same even if Benzema is absent from the squad once more. Bellingham and Joselu demonstrated to the fans that they are not in Real Madrid to play but also that they will be among the team's best players. Bellingham scored in the first half of the game so quickly, and his performance also helped to win him many fans, I believe Real Madrid can still have success even without Mbappé because Bellingham and Joselu have demonstrated the striker qualities Real Madrid is searching for.

But If mbappe joins Real Madrid, I believe the league will get even tougher because Real Madrid will become the only undefeated team in both the La Liga and Champions League. I've heard a rumour that mbappe rejected the offer from AL-HILAL that he only want to play as real Madrid player next season.The 2023/2024 La Liga season is going to be challenging because Real Madrid's performance has improved and Barcelona was defeated in a preseason match.

I believe if a team doesn't play very well or doesn't take it seriously when the opponent is below them in quality, but if the opponent is a team that is equal or can be said to be better, this can be a good opportunity to prove themselves as the best. Apart from that, it must be admitted that Real Madrid is indeed still better than Manchester United and that is a fact that they might still maintain if they meet later in the Champions League competition.

Talking about La Liga, of course Ancelotti is very happy with the performance of his players so far and they will definitely continue to maintain their consistency later when La Liga starts. Indeed, even from last season, Barcelona was a team that was quite difficult to beat in La Liga and Real Madrid had to make full efforts with its new squad to break this bad trend when they met Barcelona.




Anyway, the next pre-season game will bring Real Madrid against Barcelona and this is also the El Clasico match on the pre-season tour in America.

[Velvet78]

I think the exchange between Manchester City and Barcelona where there were rumors about exchanging de Jong for Bernardo Siva won't happen because does Barcelona really need Silva? He is good of course, but currently Barcelona has several offensive players with decent quality. But what I miss is this one star player that is above all else.

Technically Barcelona don't include an attacking midfielder in their usual formation. There is no such player in their squad as well. Bernardo Silva is mainly an attacking midfielder so Barcelona really don't need him specifically now. Of course he can play as a right winger as well. But there are so many alternatives on both wings at the same time.

While they have Raphinha and Dembele in the first place they don't need another big right winger transfer. This will just have to keep one of those players outside of the starting lineup if they bring Bernardo Silva to the team. I don't think Xavi wants that now.

For this reason, if the team wants to do well in the Champions League next season, there is no other option but to strengthen the defence. Xavi should definitely be added to the experienced defender squad. Otherwise, Barcelona will fall behind in the competition with Madrid in La Liga.

indeed in the next season there will be a drastic change from the decline in Barcelona performance to compete strongly and not just on the defensive line. but you don't need to worry it's just a friendly match and all you have to worry about is the La Liga match later.
in La Liga later there is a slight possibility that Barcelona might still have the chance to be in first place in the standings but in the champions league I am not sure whether Barcelona will be able to compete because finances influence the performance of their player.
so for me not expecting too much from Barcelona but prefer to think about Real Madrid confidently conquering the champions league again.

[naira]

With the way Real Madrid performed in the preseason game, I believe that Real Madrid's performance will remain the same even if Benzema is absent from the squad once more. Bellingham and Joselu demonstrated to the fans that they are not in Real Madrid to play but also that they will be among the team's best players. Bellingham scored in the first half of the game so quickly, and his performance also helped to win him many fans, I believe Real Madrid can still have success even without Mbappé because Bellingham and Joselu have demonstrated the striker qualities Real Madrid is searching for.

The pre-season matches are getting better and better to watch, Real Madrid against Manchester United, where both of them fielded the main squad. From the quite extraordinary results obtained by Madrid, this added to the motivation that it turned out that Bellingham was gradually finding his match point with Madrid. It's not easy to adapt to a new club but in the end a good start will give Madrid a good answer. Don't forget that Joselu appeared to contribute a goal and his acrobatics needs to be appreciated. He is trying to prove himself worthy of the position that Benzema left. It also increasingly makes Ancelotti is not wrong to give this position.

But If mbappe joins Real Madrid, I believe the league will get even tougher because Real Madrid will become the only undefeated team in both the La Liga and Champions League. I've heard a rumour that mbappe rejected the offer from AL-HILAL that he only want to play as real Madrid player next season.The 2023/2024 La Liga season is going to be challenging because Real Madrid's performance has improved and Barcelona was defeated in a preseason match.

If Mbappe joins, then the solution to Real Madrid problem has been resolved and Barcelona is really in a threatened position next season, including in the Champions League competition, it will present a new move, we are sure and optimistic for Madrid's future to recover in a short time.

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

It is undeniable fact, indeed Barcelona performance improvement when it was take over by Xavi their having a good progress, but when Xavi plays against big clubs outside La Liga, he doesn't have perfect tactics. Today also in a friendly match against Arsenal, Xavi lost tactically although it was a friendly match but Barcelona shouldn't lose. But anyway I shouldn't underestimate him, Xavi might be able to make a surprise in the UCL later because now the Barcelona squad have a new better players.

Losing to Arsenal was not supposed to happen, not after adding some crucial players to the team this summer. Furthermore, there are certain good numbers of targets ought to be reached this season. Xavi Hernandez will restrategize and implement new game structure, because the blaugrana becomes very weak towards elite clubs outside their league. Barca always dominate games within La Liga but are not giving the same energy in other top competitions, that's their weakness, comparable to PSG in Ligue One. Their ultimate target is the UCL title, I doubt if they will make it to the knockout stages this time.
