La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Republikcoin.com]

Despite this, Lewandowski did not appear to be the best rated player of the game but he was the worst rated player based on the aiscore. Kounde and De Jong were the two players who had the highest ratings in that match, but I agree that overall Barcelona didn't perform as good as expected in that match.

The game against Osasuna was most likely a difficult encounter for them since they find it difficult to score goals against opponents that remain conservatively defensive throughout the game. However, the blaugrana scored, Osasuna scored and tied the game, perhaps as well Robert Lewandowski scored a penalty and won the game in injury time. Barcelona are potentially one of the best clubs who have yet to achieve enormous accomplishments. Xavi Hernandez is on the lookout for techniques to further the blaugrana's amazing performance. Robert Lewandowski's performance on the field is declining; he must get back on his feet if he is to sustain his spectacular performance and goal scoring.

Even though they had to struggle, Barcelona was able to win this match and even then they got a lot of advantages because one of the Osasuna players got a red card and Barcelona also got a penalty, but if there weren't these advantages I think it would be very difficult for Barcelona to win the match.
Here it is clear that Barcelona in the midfield and front line are not very good and overall there are very many things that Xavi has to do to improve the performance of this team, so far it is still not satisfactory in my opinion and this is not the best performance of this team.

I think they should be able to do better as a team. They played very successful matches last year. They had managed to be a team. Barcelona is one of the biggest candidates for the championship this year. They also want to achieve success at UCL. They have to work better for this. They struggled a lot against Osasuna.

Robert Lewandowski's performance on the field is declining; he must get back on his feet if he is to sustain his spectacular performance and goal scoring.

The defense built by Osasuna in this match was indeed very solid. So I think it is very natural to see Barcelona having a little difficulty in this match. Because I know Osasuna is a pretty strong club and has often surprised strong clubs since last season.

But Barcelona in this match also seemed unable to develop attacks and they had difficulty finding gaps in their opponents. But Barcelona was lucky because they got a chance from a penalty kick and scored the second goal. Without a penalty goal, the match would have ended in a draw. This week Real Madrid and Barcelona both had quite a hard time facing their respective opponents.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Barcelona performed well in the match. However  Barcelona had a lot of problems to win this match . After several good attacks, they could not finish well.  Barcelona has some weaknesses in attack. Lewa is not able to perform well on a consistent basis. Even if Lewa's performance is consistent, I believe that Barcelona's attack will be stronger.

I am very interested in the next match of barcelona. Barcelona will play their next match against Real betis. The Real Betis team is quite strong. This is Barcelona's home match. Looking forward to seeing how the barcelona team performs against Betis in the home match. The top spot in the table is now occupied by Real Madrid. Barcelona will need to continue their winning streak to reclaim the top spot.

It's true even though he is able to win but Barcelona's game is still far from satisfying. I think at this time Xavi is well aware of the condition of his team but slowly he will continue to improve it. This is still in the early stages and maybe some new Barcelona players are still in the process of adaptation because Xavi has made several changes in the composition of players in Starting IX. I believe that after the international break the game Barcelona will again experience a rapid increase and the match against Real Betis will be evidence for to assess the extent of the actual Blaugrana power.

Barcelona are not yet in a position to do well in the Champions League. There is no doubt that their squad is strong. However, their performance is still somewhat erratic. In particular I would say that Lewandowski's performance has not been good so far this season. He scored 2 goals and an assist in 4 match appearances. One of these goals was scored from the penalty spot. If the performances of Lewandowski and Gundogan continue, Barcelona's performance will be stronger. Xavi knows his team's weaknesses very well. And I think he will be able to stabilize his team before the Champions League starts.

[makishart]

I have to say it was a good performance from Barcelona in this match. Great goal from Barcelona in the first half, a great jump as well as a great header by Kounde. The goal from Osasuna was also good as well, with great finishing to make it even.

I actually cannot blame Osasuna for giving away the penalty. At that point, maybe it was actually a better decision to take a chance and hope for the opponent to miss the penalty, and it was probably the only way to delay the goal that was eventually going to happen. But the red card was definitely a bad situation for Osasuna. However, the red card would obviously have been worth it if they could walk away with one point from this match.

As for Lewandowski's penalty goal, I think it was good luck because if they didn't get a penalty they could have won a draw in this match.

I don't get it too. Barcelona's performance was average even though the club has been making so many goal attempts but most of these chances are wasted. Xavi has not been solving the problem faced by lewandowski.
He had been making another complaint toward xavi's strategy at this moment. I must say barcelona's performance was not good or bad but it's enough or in average performance of barcelona.

Barcelona was winning the game through penalty, not from open play. I saw that if barcelona's performance was dropping compared with the previous match before that.

[Mustang Shelby]

Barselona almost drew the match but the penalty shootout was a huge opportunity for them as the match was 1-1 until the 84th minute. Barcelona won today's match and got total 10 points and on the other hand Girona is in 2nd position with 10 points and Real Madrid is in 1st position with 12 points.  Barcelona will be in position to overtake Girona if they win their next match.  And then Real Madrid will be their only rival

Barcelona still hasn't shown a convincing performance, the victory this time was quite helped because of the penalty prize, and fortunately, Lewandowski managed to execute the penalty well, the previous match they also almost lost to Villareal because they were behind by the home team, and it looks like they are having quite a problem in the away game because from 3 away matches they have had difficulties if Xavi Hernandez hard to finds their weak points and fixes them immediately then Real Madrid will be very comfortable staying at the top.

Yep, Barcelona still hasn't shown a slick performance in every game. but this victory was indeed deserved by them. If Lewandowski had not been tackled in the penalty area, the probability of a goal being scored was very high. However, due to a violation, Barcelona were ultimately awarded a penalty kick. and Lewandowski as executor, did not waste this opportunity. you could say, Barcelona was lucky in this match.

Meanwhile, we cannot rule out Ossasuna. Even though Barcelona dominated the match, the home team was able to put up quite an exciting fight. also, they had 3 shots on target out of 11 attempted shots. 1 big chance, 7 shots from inside the box. the most important thing is that Barcelona still won full points, so that they stay close to the point distance from Real Madrid.
Now, Joao Cancelo's presence will have a big impact on the Barcelona squad. I have confidence that Cancelo will be included in the starting eleven for the Barcelona squad. Likewise with Felix, for the time being he will start playing on the bench. but if he displays a good performance, Xavi will give him the opportunity to play on the wing. theoretically, Barcelona should be more competitive. because, now Barcelona has complete players on all fronts. The problem now lies with Xavi, how he will implement his system so that his team plays with high performance.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are two of the strongest teams in Laliga and every year both teams have a high chance of winning the title. Last year champions Real Madrid and Barcelona were runners-up and the previous year champions were Atletico Madrid and runners-up Real Madrid.  Every year one of these two teams becomes the champion or runners-up. And some years both teams take these two awards. From 1928 to 2022, very few times have either team missed out on 1st or 2nd prize. Xavi is a gem for Barcelona. Because that's why Barcelona has come to such a state

Yes right you are. Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao is must potential team on LaLiga series to win Championship. These 3 teams always win LaLiga series. And among them, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the record of winning the most matches. Xavi is one of Barcelona's best guides Barcelona has become a very famous team thanks to Xavi. Watching the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona feels like watching a tiger fight

Barcelona was already a famous team. He didn't become a famous team with Xavi. It made people wonder if he could catch up with his past successes with Xavi. Barcelona's history is full of great achievements. They had great years, especially with Ronaldinho and Messi. In recent years, they are not what they used to be, but this situation may gradually change.

[fzkto]

Real Madrid should be thankful to Getafe's goalkeeper for their win. Bellingham was simply in the right place at the right time.
I really don't know how Real will be able to compete against Barca for the La Liga trophy in this season. Real is having difficulties scoring goals against teams that aren't very strong. Barca scored 4 goals against Villareal, but they have troubles in defense and allowed the yellow team to score three goals. I'm not impressed by Lewandowski's performance. He scored the winning goal, but that was a pretty easy goal.

I'm not too worried regarding competition the title fight with Barcelona because if you look at Real Madrid, they have been much more consistent in their previous matches compared to Barcelona. But in the last match it reflected a little that at a time when several important players were injured, it made Real Madrid's game a little difficult and they were really frustrated in creating scoring opportunities by Getafe who played quite solidly.

So far the productivity of scoring goals still looks a draw between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Real Madrid's conceding problem is much better because so far they have only conceded two goals compared to Barcelona which has conceded four goals in La Liga. I would like to see a more competitive rivalry compared to last season for the two team Spanish giants the.

Well, the two teams are doing well in this season because their starting make people to believe that they will still drag the la Liga league title at the end of the tournament. But since Real Madrid players started having some injuries that made their performance to dropped down, which their manager need to do something on time in this season because Barcelona are well prepared to make things happen again like the way they used all their tools to embraced the la Liga league title last season. If Barcelona can defeated Osasuna in their home 2-1 to achieved the three points from the match, showed that they will be more productive in goals scoring than Real Madrid in this season.

It's just the beginning of the season and many teams have a chance, although I agree that Barcelona are still playing confidently, but Real Madrid have not lost once. Also Atletico Madrid have shown that they are well prepared for this season. I think they will also fight for first place.

Barcelona's history is full of great achievements. They had great years, especially with Ronaldinho and Messi. In recent years, they are not what they used to be, but this situation may gradually change.

Xavi was able to get Barcelona back on track because before he joined the team, the impact of the financial crisis was very strong. Thanks to discipline, he managed to return good results, retain players and replenish the team with new players. Yes, Barcelona used to have Messi, but now they have Lewandowski and Gundogan, if that's not enough then I'm sure Xavi will be able to strengthen the team even more.

[wmaurik]

If Barcelona's next opponent is Real Betis, I think the assessment of Barcelona's strength will not be more accurate due to the fact that Real Betis very rarely win when they face Barcelona in La Liga. So that for the next match it will also be easier to determine if Barcelona really has a bigger chance of winning when they face Real Betis later, so it will be better if an assessment to see these strengths is taken when Barcelona face a stronger team than Real Betis this season.

So far, Xavi Hernandez has actually been able to make Barcelona better than the previous few seasons, but this season, the wins they have won are not very convincing this season, but A win is still a win no matter what, but they have to start thinking about being better because it is getting worse, the day of the competition will be increasingly difficult and if they want to defend their title again then staying on a winning track is a must otherwise they will experience high difficulties in fighting for the title.
Yes, they have Lewandowski, and this season there is İlkay Gündoğan who is one of the key players for the success of Manchester City, Gündoğan is expected to perform brilliantly in his first season with Barcelona as he always showed when he was with Manchester City if in the next matches, Barcelona appear more impressive then Real Madrid will face a tough challenge from this club in title race.

Sergio Ramos is back at Sevilla! 

I must admit that I wasn't waiting for this to happen. Because there were teams after him with much better contract offers. There were Saudi teams and Galatasaray. After turning down the Saudi I wondered if he was going to sign for Galatasaray. Because you know there have been rumours like he would join them on the condition that they qualify for the Champions League groups.

However he is back at home, Sevilla. I won't be surprised even if he decides to retire here but I don't know at what age he would like to retire. Do you think we would watch him in another place before he retires?

[KTChampions]

As always, great possession of the ball (71%) with only 4 shots on target. I continue to believe that all this comes from the coach and Xavi is trying to implement a scheme that has not been working for a long time. They got lucky yesterday, but that won't always happen, plus when we say that Barcelona got lucky against Osasuna, things are bad.
Judging by the way Lewandowski started the season modestly (and how often Bellingham scores), he does not shine to become a top scorer this season.

There's nothing wrong with their possession as their tiki taka is very troublesome but on the other hand we seem to be on the same page in this regard as Barcelona still have a lot of problems especially in attack at the moment.
Indeed, their attacking line and the chances they create are still fairly good but the final finishing is still bad if we compare their current condition with the record of goals in each match.
Even looking at the match against Osauna yesterday we can see in terms of opportunities Osasuna was a little better.

Lewandowski still hasn't rediscovered the form of his first season on the other hand, it seems Xavi still wants to make some experiments by continuing to try to exploit Gavi on the winger and wants to give Lamine Yamal a chance but I think it would be better to try to put Gavi in an ideal position and give Ansu time.

Tiki taka is outdated garbage because no one is going to fight for the ball anymore if the team focuses on ball control. It is enough to stand on the defensive and keep the zones closed. In essence, tiki taka is a bus + possession of the ball. If a team does not risk going on the attack for fear of losing the ball, then in modern conditions it will suffer from draws with outsiders and even defeats (due to counterattacks).

After turning down the Saudi I wondered if he was going to sign for Galatasaray.

Glad to see him back again right now. I expect him would not be going back to the sevilla after sevilla's director openly rejected him last month but sevilla seems interesting to sign him.
The club has no money + ramos accepts to be paid only around 1.25m for a season which is very very small for him. Ramos received an offer from saudi club which was worthy 12 times more than his current salary in sevilla.

However he is back at home, Sevilla. I won't be surprised even if he decides to retire here but I don't know at what age he would like to retire.

After 18 years playing on the various clubs and he is now coming back to the sevilla.

Do you think we would watch him in another place before he retires?

I don't think so. Sevilla may also become the last team for him. It's caused by he was not even seeking to be paid with huge salary. That means if he is not being obsessed with money.
Ramos prefers to enjoy the rest of his career. We may see him retire after plays in sevilla.

The return of Sergio Ramos to Sevilla is news that is sure to bring joy to Sevilla FC fans! Despite much speculation surrounding his future, the decision to return home was a step that was probably very emotional and important for him. Of course better contract offers from teams like Saudi and Galatasaray could be a factor in thinking about it, but there is an important element that is often irreplaceable, namely a sense of bond and love for their home club. His decision to reject the Saudi offer and opt for Sevilla shows how much he loves the club and his city. Regarding the possibility of retiring in Seville, this is very likely to happen. Sevilla is home to Ramos, and ending his football career will probably be a very moving story. While we cannot predict his future with certainty, it is very likely that we will continue to watch him with great passion and pride before he retires.

Osasuna had more attacks in the match. Barcelona is having a hard time finding offense. It was Barcelona's luck that they scored a penalty goal and Osasuna missed a red card. Even though Real Madrid is missing right now, it could be better than Barcelona once the injuries are over.

This is exactly what brought Sergio Ramos back to Sevilla. He feels a sense of belonging to Sevilla and the biggest advantage for Sevilla is that Sergio left their infrastructure and started playing football. It will be fateful for Sevilla to re-join such a player, who has scored more goals than many attacking players in his career, and to give him a glorious retirement ceremony.

[Luzin]

I don't think so. Sevilla may also become the last team for him. It's caused by he was not even seeking to be paid with huge salary. That means if he is not being obsessed with money.
Ramos prefers to enjoy the rest of his career. We may see him retire after plays in sevilla.

Yes, maybe he will retire there or move to MLS or the Saudi Arabian League. It will be Ramos' reunion after almost 20 years of him going to Madrid and PSG. There was actually a serious problem when he returned to Sevilla. Ramos is not on good terms with the Sevilla supporters. But Ramos came humble. He came directly apologizing to the supporters. Maybe it's a good start, maybe it will be interesting if Sevilla play Real Madrid.

Joy yes, I am also sure that a lot of people are going to warmly welcome him, but is he still able to help a club that is in deep trouble? He doesn't have any superstars to his left and right and that is what he is used to during his career, but that's a big difference now.

I understand the move made by Sevilla, but I am not sure what to expect from that transfer. It could go either way and nobody really wants to finish a career when it is going down steeply with performance. Maybe he can do something about their situation with all the experience he has.

[BRINIRHA]

Osasuna had more attacks in the match. Barcelona is having a hard time finding offense. It was Barcelona's luck that they scored a penalty goal and Osasuna missed a red card. Even though Real Madrid is missing right now, it could be better than Barcelona once the injuries are over.

Osasuna should be appreciated in that match because they managed to make it difficult for Barcelona very well. Even the goal scored by Luis Ezequiel "Chimy" Ávila in the 76th minute was extraordinary. A very hard kick even though it was from a position that was actually quite difficult. Osasuna has players who played with maximum strength in this match.

Barcelona actually has an opportunity that doesn't lose much in this match. And it can be said that Barcelona also played very well. But I think Robert Lewandowski is indeed getting older. The performance is not as good as last season. It's a little slow now. But still the quality is still good compared to other ordinary players. So he can still be relied on.

Yes, I agree. Although Lewandowski is old, his performance can still be considered top-notch. Along with Giroud, they can be counted among the top quality senior strikers. Had Lewandowski performed a few years ago, he could have won big awards this year. What a pity that despite such a high performance, he did not receive the top award.
