La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[HajiBagi]

Barcelona can't spend too much money no matter how good their finances are now. Because they are still dealing with FFP. This is even why they are planning to add Cancelo to the squad on loan. They are trying to finish some transfers at low cost at least. If Barcelona were more careful with their expenses in the past the situation could have been more different.

They have spent a lot of money on players such as Dembele, Coutinho and so on and they couldn't send them for a profitable amount later on. They just need to be more careful about this as of now if they don't want to have this result again.

Barcelona don't have enough money because they spent a lot on signing many young players, which is excellent because if you look at Barcelona's team right now, they are among the best in the league, and I can see that they can win the league title again. Barcelona have a lot of young players who are very talented, and if anyone doubts that, look at yesterday's game between Barcelona and Tottenham. Barcelona used many of their new sign young players, and the players did very well. So even though Dembele and Keise are gone, I don't think Barcelona lacked any players right now and they can still do well.

Tottenham is winning them 2-1 during the Joan Hamper Trophy game between Barcelona and them, but before the game is supposed to end, Barcelona uses their young players to defeat Tottenham by winning 4-2. This makes me believe that Barcelona never gives up, even when they are playing them on the field. Although I don't support Barcelona, I am currently really proud of the team since they always give it their all and never give up, regardless of how well their opponents are doing. I have to admit that I have grown to like the Barcelona team.

[makishart]

Barcelona won the first trophy in this season and they won the game against Tottenham with a 4-2 result while Lewandowski scored the first goal for this team and like always he had a good performance in Barcelona which means Barcelona should be worried about their forwards in this season because they still have a player like Lewandowski. However, this Barcelona still needs to hire players for the next season and I think even if they have Xavi as a good coach but he doesn't have the tool he needs to win the harder games they are going to have in the next season.

I don't agree with you about that. Barcelona needs to care with its financial trouble first rather than try buy more and more players. Barcelona were unable to register some players due to the financial problems. Barcelona needs to sell some players as soon as possible to decrease its salary expenses.
The trophy already won by barcelona against totenham was nothing. Barcelona needs to focus on selling some players like torres, fati or even raphinha if the club wants. Solving the financial trouble is a must for barcelona right now.
This has become the main concern caused by barcelona may not able to register the new player till the end of season if the club is still having financial trouble.
Even la liga president has urged barcelona to raise hundreds millions of money to make sure the club gonna be away from financial trouble. Barcelona is good enough at this moment. The club just needs to register some new players asap before it's too late.
Financial is always becoming the main problem faced by this club very often.

Franck Kessie was so disappointed and hurt after becoming one of the victims of Barcelona's bad finances. He has always dreamed of playing with Barcelona since last season and therefore it is hoped that his arrival will last longer to defend the Blaugrana. But things were different after Xavi rarely played and he was sorely disappointed that after signing on a free agent from AC Milan last season then within a year he had been sold by Barcelona to the Saudi league club. It's very clear how Barcelona doesn't appreciate their players just because of the money they always wanted and the sense of loyalty that Franck Kessie wanted to show has now turned into a bitter taste that will be hard to get rid of.

I have discuss about this before that Franck Kessie is failure transfer from Barcelona because since last season he was unable to impress Xavi and his future was questionable because Barcelona want to release him especially Kessie hasn't into Xavi this season plan but indeed Kessie doesn't want to leave because he still wants to prove to Xavi that he still deserves to play with Barcelona but apparently now Barcelona has decide to sell him to Arabian club i think this is the right decision for Barcelona because they really required fresh funds to bought more player to strengthen their squad

Barcelona can't spend too much money no matter how good their finances are now. Because they are still dealing with FFP. This is even why they are planning to add Cancelo to the squad on loan. They are trying to finish some transfers at low cost at least. If Barcelona were more careful with their expenses in the past the situation could have been more different.

That's right, their problem is not only their financial capability, but also the regulations. They can't just add quality players, because FFP will always keep an eye on them in this regard.
It's also not funny that when they are fully prepared they have to deal with FFP, they are a very experienced club, so they certainly know this.
This has become public consumption, even many people already know and say that they must be careful about this. It's an external issue that sometimes clubs overlook, to their own detriment.

They've brought in important players, and I see them more prepared now, it's going to be a new era of competition in La Liga or the Champions League.

Schedule La Liga for the first match

• Getafe vs Barcelona

Barcelona starts with a very easy match, away from home but very easy, while Real Madrid faces Bilbao, which seems to me a more difficult opponent. Well see what Real Madrid can do, if they can keep up.
I cant wait the start of season!!

At the start of the season, I think that Barcelona has an easier chance to excel and can save a number of different points from Real Madrid, who had to fight Bilbao, which was also a pretty tough club last season.
Last season Bilbao managed to finish the League in 8th position and can be said to be a middle to upper class club.
Even though Real Madrid still has a big chance to win, if you don't play well, it is very likely that Bilbao will take the win because at the last meeting they played in a 1 - 1 draw.

Anyway, it is interesting to know how the drama of Mbappe's transfer to end. If he stays in PSG, he is probably to sit on the bench because he has a bad relationship with PSG management. Or PSG will loan him to another team, so PSG won't be confused to treat him on the team anymore.

kawetsriyanto, I agree with you. Kylian Mbappe has a big chance to join Real Madrid, but maybe not for free as I believe. Real Madrid need to make a formal bid for him if they want to win the title next season but if they don't then I think Real Madrid are really struggling expecting to win the title.

Without Benzema Real Madrid's attack line is completely ineffective, but I don't know how they will form in official matches. Joselu was not brought in to replace Benzema, but he is an alternative if Ancelotti has no other options on the bench. The fact that releasing Asensio and Benzema at the same time has created its own problems for Real Madrid, but they can fix it.

Situation is very strange right now because few clubs are looking for the possible transfer of the Kylian Mbappé, but he wants to join Real Madrid, but they are not having enough funds for this all which is making things complicated and few clubs which are interested they want to secure long term deal, but he is not ready for this as well as he is committed to Real Madrid for the 2024 or in this season and also not extended his contract with PSG mean he is playing all his cards wisely and just PSG is feeling pain for this all situation.

If we have Kylian Mbappé here in Real Madrid then surely we will have changes in many things like Real Madrid could be hot favorite for the La Liga, and also they could be make their mark into Champions League as well right now their squad is best just missing central striker which give them enough goals for the win and after Benzema they are having not right person.

Barcelona has no choices other than selling some players. Barcelona really needs fresh money at this moment. I can't deny that how bad the financial condition of barcelona is right now.
Laporta is also trying to make sure barcelona will able to avoid the FFP sanction. Barcelona has been also consulting to the la liga related to this problem. It's likely that if barcelona will not be rushing to buy the new players in summer.
The financial condition prevent it. Barcelona has been also touching the limit to comply with FFP too.

They have spent a lot of money on players such as Dembele, Coutinho and so on and they couldn't send them for a profitable amount later on. They just need to be more careful about this as of now if they don't want to have this result again.

Barcelona lost a lot of money by buying those players in the past. Barcelona sold them all with very cheap price to another club. Barcelona needs to always be careful with its financial.
Laporta needs to make sure barcelona gonna spend the budget efficiently at this moment.

The start of the season was good enough for Barcelona to steal the standings while Madrid's condition was still inconsistent. Against Atletico Bilbao was not easy and Ancelotti had to show the results of his players' training in that match. Still without Arda Guller so I hope he recovers quickly from his injury and can help attack. Real Madrid's schedule will be packed so it is hoped that the new players will be able to provide a better boost than last season.

It is true that it must be admitted that Barcelona currently needs money to improve its finances and the additional funds from the sale of Franck Kessie of 15 million euros are quite good. Even so, if in the end they don't need the services of Franck Kessie, at least they will give proper appreciation because after all which player is not disappointed to be treated like that, especially since Barcelona is one of Europe's big teams.

However, if an agreement with the Arab club has not been reached, at least Franck Kessie can be loaned for a season to another club, considering that he has a dream of being at Camp Nou. But yes, everything has happened and now I hope there will be no new problems between the two parties, from the club to the players concerned.

It seems Atletico Madrid wants João Félix to leave the club. The Portuguese international has failed to integrate with the team and the best option for him is to leave the club. No doubt he is talented but I doubt if he will flourish under coach Diego Simeone.  Al Halil is offering the player a lucrative one-year loan. But Atletico Madrid wants a permanent deal and won't want the player to return next season. Félix wants to remain in Europe and he has not hidden his desire to play for Barcelona. No doubt, João Félix is a quality player but he failed to make the desired impact in Chelsea that would have spurred the club to sign him permanently. Since his expensive move from Benfica, Felix's underperformance has shown that he is an overhyped talent.

João Félix could thrive under Simeone, should he be given full game time as he was when he arrived from Benfica. For his individual career it would be very detrimental if he moved to the Saudi Arabian League and for Atletico Madrid it was very profitable in terms of his sale. I see that João Félix's performance was not so disappointing before Atletico Madrid loaned him to Chelsea, but I also don't know why Atletico Madrid intend to let him go permanently.

João Félix is still relatively young and he could have improved when the coach saw his potential. If Atletico Madrid don't want him anymore and I hope he stays in Europe instead of moving to the Saudi Arabian league and what needs to be done is to find another club that needs it.

@savetheFORUM You probably haven't seen the latest news. Real Madrid are ready to sign Mbappe this season. And Florentino Perez says Madrid have prepared funds of 180 million for Mbappe. And if Mbappe admits that he wants to leave PSG this season, Madrid management will officially make an offer to PSG management for Mbappe. But Mbappe is not interested in leaving PSG this season. He will leave PSG as a free agent. And will demand a bigger signing bonus from the club he joins.

The Madrid team is very stable and strong. And one weakness in their squad is that they lack experienced scorers. Vini and Rodrygo are not experienced enough. This is why Madrid need an experienced scorer like Mbappe. And having Mbappe in the team will make their attack even stronger. And I think they will be able to dominate La Liga and Champions League

Usually the opening match always brings surprises, Barcelona who have just won the Joan Gamper Trophy will be more confident to start the season next Monday. Even though they competed against Getafe, I think that match went tough. Both teams want to make their first victory in the new season rolling. I predict that the Getafe versus Barcelona match will end in a draw, even though on paper Barca are superior.

On the other hand, Real Madrid who visited Atletico Balbao headquarters, it's true that this match will make it a little difficult for Madrid. In the last five meetings between the two clubs, the statistics of three wins are still owned by Madrid, one draw and one defeat. I think Madrid will come out victorious, because they need to correct their inconsistency.

[hahay]

Barcelona can't spend too much money no matter how good their finances are now. Because they are still dealing with FFP. This is even why they are planning to add Cancelo to the squad on loan. They are trying to finish some transfers at low cost at least. If Barcelona were more careful with their expenses in the past the situation could have been more different.

They have spent a lot of money on players such as Dembele, Coutinho and so on and they couldn't send them for a profitable amount later on. They just need to be more careful about this as of now if they don't want to have this result again.

With cases like that, then it's time for Barcelona to maximize or use the players they have in the Barcelona academy itself. Although indeed, it takes time to build a young squad, but if we consider Barcelona financial condition which is still chaotic and prone to FFP penalties. So, of course, Barcelona should no longer have ambitions to bring in expensive players, because from experience they also failed before. Barcelona should be wiser in recruiting players, because they don't have to recruit all great players either.

Barcelona is ready to face the new season with the squad it currently has, the last game Barcelona played against Tottenham showed Barcelona players had a high fighting spirit, they managed to win after making an extraordinary comeback. Recently Barcelona was a little surprised by Dembele's desire to leave the club for PSG, Xavi has to maximize young players for a while until Vitor Roque lands at Barcelona.

Real Madrid is not completely perfect, especially in the areas of defense and attack. In several friendly matches played, Real Madrid conceded several goals, including when they were defeated by Barcelona 3-0. In the striker area they haven't found the right replacement to fill the place left by Benzema, Real Madrid have only brought in Joselu on loan as a second option if they fail to sign Mbappe in this season's transfer market.

Isn't that what they have done in the last 2 seasons and even that has been very successful.
Barcelona are now buying some potential players who are a little old so the prices tend to be cheaper and they can maximize the player's potential for the next 2 or 3 seasons and they mix with existing young players, I think it has been done and quite successful so far.
With all the internal problems that occur in the Barcelona team but they still think about the team's performance to achieve achievements, this is an extraordinary team.

[Litzki1990]

Dembele was at the peak of his form when Barcelona added Dembele to the squad. Also, because he was young, Premier League teams also wanted Dembele in their squad. This is why Barcelona had to buy Dembele at a very high price. But Dembele's performance with Barcelona was not good due to his injuries. He was plagued by injuries every season. This is why Barcelona could not benefit much by keeping Dembele in the team. Now selling Dembele to PSG for 50 million is a good deal for Barcelona, PSG and Dembele.

Dembele wants to move to PSG but it seems that Barcelona wants him to move to Al Hilal for a higher fee. Al Hilal is willing to pay as much as €100m. But it is clear that the Spanish club's plan will fail because the French international is not willing to move to Saudi Arabia. Dembele might not have lived up to his expectation of Barca but he is an important player that can make a difference in any club. Dembele had to return to Spain from France after the deal was put on hold because Barca seems to be delaying the deal. PSG wants to get Dembele and is willing to include Neymar in the deal to facilitate it. He returned to resume training with the Catalans because he is still a Barca player until the deal is sealed.

There is also much other news about Neymar leaving PSG in this transfer window with his friend Messi and playing in Barcelona in the next season and returning to his team while this time he can play in Barcelona while Xavi coaching there as his former teammate surely if Neymar was in the good situation this transfer could have a good effect on Barcelona but this time Xavi is happy this hiring Neymar because now in Barcelona they have integrated team with a good relationship between players and hiring Neymar can have a negative effect and destroy this atmosphere in Barcelona.

Neymar wants to leave PSG, according to many, Neymar wants to reduce his salary and return to Barcelona, although Neymar wants it, so far no positive news has come from Barcelona about taking Neymar to the team. Before the start of the transfer window, Neymar was rumored to be most likely to move to English Premier League club Manchester United, but when the transfer window opened, Manchester United did not show much interest in Neymar. Neymar doesn't want to stay in PSG, I don't know how true this news is, it's all rumors, but in the end we are waiting to see which rumors will be true. If all the equations are matched and Neymar returns to Barcelona then I don't think Neymar returning to Barcelona will have any negative impact on the team rather the teammates and team management will be happy with Neymar.

The way Barcelona is currently set up, every player in the team is performing incredibly well. As such, if Neymar Jr joins Barcelona from PSG, I think Barcelona will become one of the best teams and can easily set themselves up to beat any strong team.

Real Madrid will certainly have to be careful enough for their maiden outing for La Liga at San Mamés. Atletic Bilbao is not an easy opponent to beat, so of course Real Madrid must be prepared enough to anticipate whatever will happen in the match. I don't mind how long Arda Güler has been out injured, the fact that he is a recent signing is not much to be expected.

I can expect Real Madrid to have a good performance in their first La Liga game. Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham can be expected to trouble Bilbao's defense. Federico Valverde can also help in attack, so I don't have to be so pessimistic about the match in the coming days.

[onecall123]

Barcelona is ready to face the new season with the squad it currently has, the last game Barcelona played against Tottenham showed Barcelona players had a high fighting spirit, they managed to win after making an extraordinary comeback. Recently Barcelona was a little surprised by Dembele's desire to leave the club for PSG, Xavi has to maximize young players for a while until Vitor Roque lands at Barcelona.

Against Tottenham match Barca demonstrated their young talent, while can't narrow down solid performance from the veterans. Another satisfying pre-season match from them. I'm completely convinced that this Barca team is all set to kick off the new season with a strong start. Now, it's time to focus on the real deal. Let's start strong and keep moving forward. Xavi should make good use of their young talent.

Real Madrid is not completely perfect, especially in the areas of defense and attack. In several friendly matches played, Real Madrid conceded several goals, including when they were defeated by Barcelona 3-0. In the striker area they haven't found the right replacement to fill the place left by Benzema, Real Madrid have only brought in Joselu on loan as a second option if they fail to sign Mbappe in this season's transfer market.

Real Madrid definitely missed Benzema's absence up until now. Throughout the pre-season, they struggled, conceding many goals. I hope this is just a phase, and will stop soon. They need a good replacement, a solid comeback as well. Getting Mbappe might not happen this summer, so they must focus on a solid plan to stay competitive.
