La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[harapan]

Atletico Madrid started well. They scored from the first half and are doing well now. They actually scored another goal but it wasn't counted due to offside. Alvaro Morata plays really well this match. He's one of Atlético's most important weapons in the attack. Now that Memphis Depay is in the game, let's see how he plays out. Also, Çağlar Söyüncü is in the game, I'm also curious about his performance. They still have Correa and Felix in the bench, if Atletico needs to make a move they will be in the game. Simeone knows how to hold on to 1-0 well, they can go like this until the end of the match. But if they score the second goal, it will be more comfortable. Granada wasn't very effective in this match.

Few more minutes until they finally win the game fot the first game of  La Liga. Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay has helped sealed two good goals to put Athletico Madrid ahead.
Felix hasn't been used for this game it is clear he wants to leave and he still hasn't found the perfect club fit for him.
Barcelona shouldn't have made move for Neymar they did the right thing nit to even bid. Xavi was also angry with the way the game ended yesterday night. Fans are not happy.

Yes, it was the win that Diego Simeone was hoping for and they did well.
On João Félix, Barcelona might make a move for him if Ateletico Madrid weren't asking such a high price. Barcelona started working on signing a right-back from the sale of Dembele, but Xavi has several options for the position.

Barcelona also had an unpleasant moment in the first match of the season. They repeated it like last season where Rayo Vallecano managed to hold Barcelona's troops to a draw, but I'm sure that doesn't reduce Barcelona's chances of defending the title. Barcelona's play and form were good, but they failed to score even though some of the chances came quite well.

[kawetsriyanto]

Xavi does not feel pressured into signing Neymar as he feels that he has enough players on the wing this season. Barcelona also doesn't have the good finances to pay Neymar's high wages, so it's not because he can't afford to manage a top player like Neymar.

Barcelona has 4 wingers, it is enough for the winger position. Barcelona actually needs a striker, they only have Lewandowski in that position. I can't imagine how Xavi feels if Lewandowski gets injured. There is no other striker, it is very risky for Barcelona to face all matches in the whole season. I think Xavi needs to sign 1 striker at least. Neymar can be fit with that position, he can play as LW, SS, or CF. But Neymar already decided to move to Al Hilal.

Neymar has sadly chosen to join the Saudi Pro League which in all likelihood could easily be forgotten in Europe. I also have the same feeling about Neymar, yes he seems to be nearing his retirement. Neymar has a 2 season contract with his new team, so I don't think a European team will try to sign him for free once his contract is up.

Neymar may think that he is already not in his best career anymore. He only wants to enjoy playing football in the rest of his career. Although he is still 31 years old, he is getting often injured. It is not a good sign for his career, he can't have a long career if he can't fix the injury problem. Sure, Neymar will spend his time in SPL, he won' consider to go back to European league in the near future.

Barcelona's play and form were good, but they failed to score even though some of the chances came quite well.

Joao Felix reminds me of Antoine Griezmann who played so unexpectedly bad for Barcelona despite being such a fantastic offender. Felix and Griezmann are a bit similar. They are not one and the same type of offensive player, but slightly similar and when Joao Felix goes to Barcelona, would that be a promising move for him? At the same time I would understand if he tries to change his situation as he didn't even play for a single minute in the first game, but the price will be the problem. Atletico still has a headache from what they paid for him when they initially signed him. It was a massive fee and now they will try to recoup some of it. But Barcelona would be stupid to overpay for him.

[skarais]

Neymar may think that he is already not in his best career anymore. He only wants to enjoy playing football in the rest of his career. Although he is still 31 years old, he is getting often injured. It is not a good sign for his career, he can't have a long career if he can't fix the injury problem. Sure, Neymar will spend his time in SPL, he won' consider to go back to European league in the near future.

If that is the reason why Neymar wants to move to the SPL, then I agree with him. But Neymar also had time to wait for a decision from Barcelona during his active transfer saga, but Barcelona were unable to do much for him. Xavi knows that Neymar is a quality player, but he also has to adapt to the needs of a team that, in fact, has no pressure to sign a winger.

You're right, mate. Barcelona need a center forward because they only have Lewandowski. Xavi has struggled to find a centre-forward when Lewandowski was injured like last season, so it's a necessity he has to think about regardless of his desire to sign a right-back.

[Rengga Jati]

I would really like to watch a lovely competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid for the title this season. By the way I wonder how many more transfers Barcelona will make. Cancelo is said to be the priority for now but they might make use of a winger too after Dembele has left.

A beautiful match wrapped in high tension, El Classico is unbeatable in La Liga. But this is still a long way off, at the end of October they will only meet in La Liga. Actually not only Barcelona, but also Real Madrid. Still curious how they manage the club at the moment, after the departure of Benzema and have not yet found the most suitable replacement. Yes, Barcelona has indeed done a lot of transfers. And unfortunately in their early game, it was a little bit ugly. Not only the 0-0 draw with Getafe but also Rapinha who got a red card.

[Ndabagi01]

On João Félix, Barcelona might make a move for him if Ateletico Madrid weren't asking such a high price. Barcelona started working on signing a right-back from the sale of Dembele, but Xavi has several options for the position.

I doubt Xavi is really keen or shown much interest in bringing Joao Felix to the club, and Diego Simeone does not have him on his plan for this season. I hope he stayed at Chelsea, but Pochettino is also uninterested in him. His career is currently in jeopardy as a result of his recent absence of competitive football. He's still a fantastic player, and I'm confident he'll find a home in Athletic Madrid or Barcelona, depending on where he concludes up this season. Barcelona is also considering a swap deal for him, which I believe is still possible before the transfer window closes.

Barcelona also had an unpleasant moment in the first match of the season. They repeated it like last season where Rayo Vallecano managed to hold Barcelona's troops to a draw, but I'm sure that doesn't reduce Barcelona's chances of defending the title. Barcelona's play and form were good, but they failed to score even though some of the chances came quite well.

Rapinha's red card may have weakened them, but I don't think that's a reason for them not to have taken advantage of that match. It was against Getafe, who were less powerful than them. They didn't get their first three points of the season, but let's see how their next game goes, which I believe will be more exciting because they'll be well prepared for a strong win.

I think Barcelona would consider signing João Felix in the late hours of the transfer window and according to the news they could likely be a swap deal involving Ansu Fati, though Xavi is not very keen on signing the player, but he's made his desire to play for Barcelona open, since he's not in the plans of Simeone and Xavi barely uses Fati this deal could pull through easily if Xavi later pick an interest in getting him before the window ends because both players share same agent, Jorge Mendes who is said to be involved in different deals for Barcelona including that of Cancelo.
 They'll miss playing without Raphina in their next match against cadiz and he has took to Instagram to apologise for his reckless behavior and for the anger he showed while taken off the pitch, anyways Barcelona still have ferran  Torres to replace him in the next match against Cadiz and Xavi's team would do their possible best to have a win in that match.

It's a shame Barcelona missed the opportunity to win at the start of the match so that Barcelona didn't seem serious or that it was useless to have a lot of new players if they were still having trouble getting a win. Xavi had to change the strategy and playing style of the teams he owned so that this incident would not happen again because Getafe should be a very easy enemy for Barcelona.

The fact that Xavi does not want to see Joao Felix in Barcelona and therefore the player does not fit into the model of team play is the most important problem, because in theory such a player would have to strengthen the composition of a club like Barcelona. The fact that Atletico Madrid does not want to keep a football player does not mean that the club is ready to let a football player go for any amount, because for Atletico the football player cost a very impressive amount, especially since Barcelona is a competitor, so everything is not clear and bidding can be difficult, also considering Barcelona's not the best financial condition.

It's still the first match of this season. Im not feeling worry about that. The result against getafe is quite ashame but xavi can see which problem that must be solved. I do really appreciate getafe for perfectly defending against barcelona. Barcelona still lacks of proper finishing.
The club has got so many chances but it can't deliver. I think that xavi gonna learn from the previous mistake. Some times the opponent that you think is easy will become a hard opponent.

I don't underestimate getafe but barcelona was winning if we are seeing from head to head between barcelona vs getafe. Real madrid is leading the way but barcelona is still a long way to go to get more points and avoid the same mistake.
I think that if we will see barcelona may try to make a slightly change on its strategy. Some players like gavi was unable controlling his emotion during the match which is bad.

new players need to adjust to the practice portion and also the coach's playing strategy. Xavi of course will look for the right strategy for his current squad. they are good professional players. Of course I'm sure it won't take long for them to adjust to Xavi and also some of their old players. however players must find a match when playing, this is important with the game scheme that Xavi often does. it is possible that there will be several player rotations in certain positions.

[ancafe]

I hope he stayed at Chelsea, but Pochettino is also uninterested in him. His career is currently in jeopardy as a result of his recent absence of competitive football. He's still a fantastic player, and I'm confident he'll find a home in Athletic Madrid or Barcelona, depending on where he concludes up this season. Barcelona is also considering a swap deal for him, which I believe is still possible before the transfer window closes.

João Félix can play in several positions on the front lines of the attackers, wings and as attacking midfielders, so that Xavi can take advantage of this condition to complement the team if Atletico Madrid does not offer a high offer for him. But the question is whether Barcelona still needs players in that position because the squad owned by him is quite credible in that position. What I see Barcelona needs a bottom (defender) who is able to break the opponent's attack, although currently they have eight defenders in the team, but of the eight names there are still no defenders who are able to play like their legend Puyol.

Rapinha's red card may have weakened them, but I don't think that's a reason for them not to have taken advantage of that match. It was against Getafe, who were less powerful than them. They didn't get their first three points of the season, but let's see how their next game goes, which I believe will be more exciting because they'll be well prepared for a strong win.

The presence of João Félix might be very useful when one of their players experiences a red card or injury, it's just that Club's financial condition forces Xavi to find ways to maximize the players needed. The draw that Barcelona got in the match against Getafe was an unsatisfactory result and they were completely unable to get out of pressure because Getafe played so rude and very surviving.

Getafe was not easy, they took it to next level, with good defensve performance. Barcelona would only compete with Real Madrid if they upgrade their game standard this season. Barcelona's La Liga opener was supposed to be triumph game and not a draw, but things changed along the horizon. Raphinha and Xavi Hernandez were both given a red card for their behavior right through the game. It was one of the most devastating games that occurred in La Liga since the blaugrana were doing everything they could to win their game, which regrettably did not happen. Let us hope they improve in their next game.

Few more minutes until they finally win the game fot the first game of  La Liga. Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay has helped sealed two good goals to put Athletico Madrid ahead.

Joào Felix forcing himself to a level he has been very professional but is Barcelona the ideal club for him? Athletico Madrid won that's good. Barcelona are broke and managing the resources they have until they fix the debts. Getting Cancelo also has been very difficult. The fee gotten from  the sale of Dembele shouldn't be spent stupidly. The nil to nil is nothing they have what it will take to win the and defend the title. Raphina should be more careful so he be one of the best player's for the club.

Atletico Madrid started well. They scored from the first half and are doing well now. They actually scored another goal but it wasn't counted due to offside. Alvaro Morata plays really well this match. He's one of Atlético's most important weapons in the attack. Now that Memphis Depay is in the game, let's see how he plays out. Also, Çağlar Söyüncü is in the game, I'm also curious about his performance. They still have Correa and Felix in the bench, if Atletico needs to make a move they will be in the game. Simeone knows how to hold on to 1-0 well, they can go like this until the end of the match. But if they score the second goal, it will be more comfortable. Granada wasn't very effective in this match.

The match has been ended with the final scores was 3-1 for Atletico Madrid that in the second half Depay has made fantastic goal from outside penalty box and Llorente has closed the match with his goal on injury time and as usual Atletico Madrid has displayed good defense and they didn't dominate the match but Atletico Madrid were playing very effective and the result is they can able to overcomes Granada however Felix indeed on the bench but Simeone seems didn't interested to played him and obviously Atletico Madrid doesn't need him anymore because they can able to beat their opponent without him

Bad start to the season for Barcelona because they had to draw their first match which was actually only against medium clubs.
The two clubs each had 1 red card reward but Barcelona did not take advantage of this to create a chance to win and could only play in a draw until the match was over so it was a shame because Barcelona could only save 1 point at the start of season, whereas before we all knew that Barcelona is superior at the start of this season.
Now it is Real Madrid who has the advantage at the start of the season, it is unpredictable.

From the first match only because of the draw I doubted that Barcelona could develop more quickly and of course Xavi is now a little disappointed that the players did not play as he expected.

IMO, it's not something bad at the start of the match that Barcelona played. after all, tactically and technically Barcelona did not play badly against Getafe. it's just that, they were unlucky not to be able to convert every opportunity to make a goal. naturally because the home team really played defensively, they played really close with a 4-5-1 pattern. Also, Getafe's defense line played solidly and in discipline, which in the end Xavi Hernandez's squad was unable to overthrow his opponent.
by the way, in this match Xavi tried to implement a system with a different pattern. maybe that's why, they still need adaptation. plus, some newcomers like Gundohan, Romeu, seem to still need to adapt to their teammates and at the same time adapt to the system that Xavi uses. Last season, Barcelona experienced something similar against Rayo in the first match of La Liga. now, they returned to a draw when they visited Getafe headquarters. next, Xavi will ensure that his team will play optimally to get full points.

On the contrary, Madrid as usual made its debut in La Liga with impressive results. however, there is still a lot of worry from Los Blancos fans because they do not have the ideal Benzema successor. I think we'll just enjoy every bit that La Liga has to offer, after all, it's still early days and there are still many matches left for these two teams to play.

Hold up guys, it is too early to blame Barcelona. Obviously, we saw that the referee made some wrong calls and ignored some rough tackles against Barcelona. We should all relax and take a deep breathe. Certainly the Coach spotted out the fault in this game and would correct it. I have confidence in him and I trust his judgement too. This is just their first match, they have many more to go which I expect to see improved creativity in the attack.

You are right that this is only the first match and Barcelona only experienced a draw, not a defeat and the next match they will try to fixed any deficiencies that occurred in the first match, of course as defending champions Barcelona do not want to give up their title just like that and their performance in the first match was quite good with a lot of the chances that were created were only the Getafe players and their goalkeeper was good enough to dispel it all.
Their second match will be against Cadiz, even this opponent is actually not much different from Getafe but with this being a home game for Barcelona they will secure 3 points.
