La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Swordsoffreedom]

Even though Xabi Alonso is currently the coach of Bayer Leverkusen and plays in the Bundesliga. But in reality, Xabi Alonso is also no stranger with La Liga football because in the past, Xabi Alonso was a Real Madrid player and also, Xabi Alonso is a Spanish citizen . However, regarding Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, in reality Xabi Alonso is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2026 and that is still a long time. But yes, I don't know whether if next season Real Madrid is willing to pay a high price to bring in Xabi Alonso, then whether that will make Xabi Alonso leave Bayer Leverkusen or not. Because yes, if Bayer Leverkusen is able to retain Xabi Alonso by increasing his salary, then I personally don't believe Xabi Alonso will leave that quickly.

It seems to me that Xabi Alonso will move to Real Madrid without much hesitation. Firstly, with Bayer it is more difficult to maintain the top level that everyone now expects from him (no matter how Bayer plays further). Secondly, Real Madrid is close to building a team that can dominate Europe in the coming years. What is better - to try to jump over your head every season with Bayer or to really fight for victory in all tournaments with Real Madrid? It may be “safer” to stay at Bayer since failure at Real Madrid will be perceived as an unacceptable failure (unlike an ordinary club where failure may even be the norm), but if Xabi is ambitious, then he should try to work at Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso was a great player. And yes, he is no stranger to La Liga football. He has played for Real Madrid for a long time. And he also did a really good job at that as well. I do not think that assuming he is going to become the coach of Real Madrid is actually dumb. And after all the results that he has been able to bring in with his current team, Leverkusen, I think he will be able to do very well with Real Madrid if given the chance. Of course, if Real Madrid actually wants to get him, they are definitely going to get him. He should be a good coach to actually take the responsibility right after Anoti.

There was an interesting moment during the Barcelona game. Lewandowski looked very angry at Yamal. He didn't wave back Yamal's hand. It seems to be a Barcelona vs Alaves match. From the video I saw, indeed Yamal had enough open space to pass or shoot directly at the goal. But it seems that Yamal was selfish and chose to shoot at goal. Lewandoski himself is indeed in a free position, maybe even if Yamal passes Lewandowski maybe 90% it can be a goal. Looking at the issue, it seems Yamal also has to make the best decision, whereas Lewandowski, I think, there is no need to be too angry. Yamal is developing, he needs a lot of advice from seniors.

Selfishness is something we usually see and encounter in young players, I remember very well how Rashford and Martial made their debut at Manchester United, they seemed want to be MOTM in every match. So, I think Lewandowski has more to understand him than to be bad to Yamal. The bad attitude he makes will only make the team's condition worse, remember how most young players behave who don't respect Cristiano?

The selfish players are only making the situation even worse. They are always wasting the chance that can be converted into the goals. This is also happening in the most of young players. They cna't even work properly with their team mates caused by what they are thinking is about how to scoring.

I won't blame Yamal because sometimes football also needs a little ego to test his mentality in making decisions. After all, Barcelona still won by 3 points. Maybe Lewandowski feels that this season he needs to continue scoring goals because he has missed a lot of moments while he was injured. There is nothing wrong with Yamal wanting to take execution, even if it fails, Yamal will be aware of his decision. As a senior, you need to be more patient because in the end Lewandowski will become a role model for young players who will later become Lewandowski replacement in the future. Every player has their own ego, and I'm also sure Lewandowski was also in that position when he was young. There is no need to make it big, and players' ego problems like this will always be present in every match.

- Given the current limited resources, I believe Xavi is doing a pretty good job leading Barca. Their squad lacks many stars to anchor the playing style as before, but a few young talents, like Lamine Yamal, are promising seeds for their future. When the tough economic times pass, I'm confident that Barca will make a strong comeback.

I have never doubted Xavi's ability to coach Barcelona and I also think the young players he has will develop quite well in the next two or three seasons after they gain good experience and quality improvements that continue to be developed from now on. It takes time to build the young squad that Xavi has because they have to combine the talents of young players with several senior players in it.

- The club's history suggests resilience, and with a blend of experienced players and emerging talents, they can rebuild their strength. Xavi's leadership, coupled with strategic investments and nurturing young talents, sets the foundation for a brighter future. It's not an overnight process, especially considering the financial constraints, but there's potential for Barca to return to prominence.

Financial limitations will indeed take a little longer to build a team, but because Barcelona already has a big name, it will most likely not be too difficult to get additional funds from sponsors. Xavi also showed good progress while serving as coach and although he was not able to produce good results in the Champions League, for La Liga he has proven it despite several quite serious limitations in the previous season.

- The football landscape is dynamic, and with patience and prudent planning, Barcelona can navigate their current challenges and regain their status as a football powerhouse.

Club management has a big role in building a stronger team and maybe we have to differentiate between several clubs that can instantly be transformed into better ones because of the arrival of new owners who have unlimited money. Barcelona has also experienced difficult times before achieving glory in the previous few years and perhaps that history will happen again and if not through Xavi's hands there will be another coach who will bring Barcelona to that period.

Yamal needs to reduce his ego. The better if yamal try to seek more experience instead of scoring.

I think it's natural for players, every player has the instinct to want to make goals. I'm not defending Yamal but when I play the ball and get space like Yamal maybe I'll shoot straight away. But it seems that I didn't happen in many games either and that's natural. Xavi should be able to give him a lot of advice. He still has long-term progress.

[Rampagoe004]

Yamal needs to reduce his ego. The better if yamal try to seek more experience instead of scoring.

Yamal is a young player. He has a big ego. It's the same as Mbappe before. It's no surprise that young players really want attention and appreciation. He has to mature a little but at 16 years old I think he needs time to become more mature in his behavior. Players like Yamal need good attitude education and I think a coach like Xavi really understands that. This will be a problem if Xavi cannot solve this problem.

However, young players always want to show off the skills they have. Yamal is no exception. The problem with Lewandowski won't last long, it's just a more experienced senior showing the youngsters how to play in a team. reprimands from those who are more senior to those who are still young are very natural.
if young players want to develop well in the future, they must look to their experienced seniors. Yamal must gradually reduce his selfishness and become more mature with the team. I think Xavi will overcome the tension quickly.

[Sebas.tian]

Lewandowski is starting to get sharp again, but Barcelona must improve performance on all fronts. Especially the defense line which has been a little fragile lately. Luckily they have a goalkeeper like Ter Stegen.

Yes, Barcelona should work more on performance to upgrade the team. It is true that Lawandoski is a better striker, but now Barcelona should also work on him to provide some assistance from the midfield. Guys, I noticed from about 5 matches recently that in the absence of Frenki De Jong, Barcelona has shown extremely poor performance, and even tactic had the effect of Frenki de Jong, but at the same time I noted that Lawandoski also had an effect. Hua de Jong's absence. Because De Jong, Pedri is the one who mostly raises his assest to aim Lawandiski, meaning he mostly passes it to create chances.

I don't think, Barcelona coach can get it right before the end of this season because if you watch very well what Real Madrid and Girona are displaying in some matches, you will know that Barcelona can only struggle for third position in this season because some of their players are still experiencing injuries which will cause Barcelona not to achieve what they want in this season. Frenki De Jong injury has caused the team to lose some matches, and is still affecting the players because the way he use to supply other players opportunity to score goals, but the player handling his position is not capable compare the way frenki De Jong made the position effective from the starting of the tournament. I believe, Barcelona manager has a lot of work to do to change some things that is affecting the team, before it will be too late for them in this season.

Selfishness is something we usually see and encounter in young players, I remember very well how Rashford and Martial made their debut at Manchester United, they seemed want to be MOTM in every match. So, I think Lewandowski has more to understand him than to be bad to Yamal. The bad attitude he makes will only make the team's condition worse, remember how most young players behave who don't respect Cristiano?

Lamine Yamal is young and inexperienced, which means he might behave immature sometimes. But if you have ever played football, there are times you will be motivated to strike because you are convinced that it will beat the goal. The only option then will be to go for goal regardless of the position or chances of others to score if you give them the ball. Sometimes such a hunch turns out right and in some cases wrong. Maybe Yamal was in that condition or he was just a little bit selfish. If he had scored, it would have been a lovely goal and the entire team would have celebrated. No matter what happens, Robert Lewandowski shouldn't have snubbed his teammate. He has more experience and is older than the sixteen years old winger but they are teammates and should respect each other.

However the Polish striker has denied snubbing Yamal, he called it a total accident. And this might be true because we saw Lewandowski speaking with Yamal after the incident and I guess he is performing his task as a mentor to one of the next generation of Barcelona. Yamal should also learn to be a team player and forget about personal success because he still has many things to learn.

[Hirose UK]

Lol, he would never leave Bayer Leverkusen during a season. I don't believe that rumor even exists, but if it does I would immediately say it's a bad joke.

Yes, that's why I am very doubtful about the rumor.
Xabi is a professional coach, he won't leave his work until it is done. Moreover, if he wants to move to Real Madrid, he needs to wait for the end of the season. It is because Ancelotti still has a contract before the season ends.

Is that true?
From the rumors circulating, Xabi himself stated that he was willing to train Real Madrid, although it is not yet clear when he will decide to have an official agreement, but this availability proves that Real Madrid has an open opportunity to recruit him.

But Alonso has all the time he wants, he is still very young as a coach and if he now builds a great team in the Bundesliga, maybe he wants to stay with them for another season and keep the option to go to Real Madrid one day in the back of his head. There is really no need for him to rush anything.

Indeed. Xabi doesn't need to hurry moving to Real Madrid.
His career as a coach is surely still young. He needs more time to have more experience as a coach. He may think he still doesn't deserve to be a Real Madrid coach for this time. Sure, it is very possible that Xabi will stay in his current team for some seasons.

If Xabi Alonso does not want to train Real Madrid and wants to stay longer with the team he is currently coaching, Leverkusen, then it is impossible for Xabi to convey his availability.
We all know that Real Madrid is big team and Xabi can have a better experience and career there because there is always possibility of them winning titles not only in the domestic league but also in the UCL.
If you only stay with Leverkusen, the best title in terms of achievements will only be in the Bundesliga.

Hua de Jong's absence. Because De Jong, Pedri is the one who mostly raises his assest to aim Lawandiski, meaning he mostly passes it to create chances.

It's not going to work without sending money to Barcelona. They need to spend more money and invest more in this team and because of the financial issues they have this is hard for them. I think Barcelona needs to hire another forward and finisher like Lewandowski as soon as possible but they can't and that's why this team will have even more problems in the next years because Lewandowski is getting old and he can't have good performance in Barcelona like old days.

Indeed, Barcelona should have other options to recruit new players to help strengthen Barcelona's defense and Xavi should not only rely on Lewandowski. At least Barcelona has an attacker who is as good as Lewandowski because as time goes by Lewandowski will definitely experience a decline in performance considering he is no longer young, especially Lewandowski has a history of injuries which means his performance will definitely not be as good as last season, but it is difficult for Barcelona to recruit several player with their current financial conditions unless they sell several Barcelona player to buy new players who are more qualified and adequate.

There was a clear chance for him to lay that pass, talks about it are not circulating too much all because it wasn't done during a finals or a match that will win Barcelona the league. That kid is too small and should learn to pass if he was aware if his surroundings and environment he should have known that ball won't go in since he was already man marked by two other players defending goal in front of him. It was clear but the looks on Lewandowski showed how disappointed he was with Yamal, he now plays like Raphinha so selfish. When in front of your goals its also okay to give a helping hand.

[hyudien]

So recently, if you pay attention, Barcelona has taken more players from the La Masia academy. Because they realize they can't afford to bring in new players let alone recruit a new striker. There is nothing Barcelona can do in fact there are still many player salary arrears that they have not yet paid. So until now they will continue to try to save on transfer costs while at the same time getting young players into the field and letting them play. Regardless of whether it is considered effective or not, little by little Barcelona young players will get used to it. It is natural that the process is quite slow and does not provide significant results. After all, everything requires a long process to be able to have its best performance.

[Richbased]

Atletico Madrid is one good team in Spanish la liga that people don't give much attention to them but they're really doing well. So far this season Atletico Madrid have played 12 matches in the la liga winning 9 matches, drew 1 and lost 2 matches. They occupy the fourth position in the la liga table with 28 points and 6 points behind the league leaders Girona who has 34 points and Atletico madrid still have an outstanding match of which if they win the match they will move to third position ahead of Barcelona who has 30 points.

Atletico Madrid have been in an impressive form this season so far both in the la liga and in the UEFA Champions league as they are topping their group after playing 4 matches, winning 2, drawing 2 and hasn't lost in any game in the champions league.

Atletico Madrid's form deserves accolades because it isn't easy to maintain such an impressive performance both in their league and the European competition. Almost every season, Atletico Madrid maintains a comfortable position in the la liga but their only problem is that they haven't been able to claim a trophy for a long time now, the last time they won the la liga was in 2014 after they drew 1-1 with Barcelona at Camp Nou the home ground of FC Barcelona but however, their performance is applaudable.

[Marvell1]

I think you have a point mate Barcelona has not had convincing game recently, a big team should not be living on the edge everytime they play, yes it's a unique way of life for big teams to be able to turn a game around when ever they go down but I believe another quality of a big team is when they play matches in a convincing manner and Barcelona recent form is far from convincing I am of the stands that Xavi Hernandez needs to go.

But reshuffling players like Xavi expects now is tricky because it would conflict with other problem they want to solve as soon as possible in terms of finances so when they try to reshuffle with new players who have better progress it will be complicated when their money can't cover it.

In addition, it is fortunate that Barcelona now has Xavi who is quite straightforward and can still bring  Barcelona to the top because if it werent for him I think now Barcelona would be an ordinary club in Koeman's hands. Despite doing it with several loan players and free agent players, Barcelona can still compete and thats very good.  

I sort of understand the situation, I mean we are talking about a situation that is basically saying that Xavi needs to reconfigure the club all the time to make sure that everyone is at their best peak. If you have a good player and just make them play, then they are going to feel assured that they have the position and they will start to lack, and if you keep playing others, then you are going to end up with getting losses one way or another, and that is more important than not.

I think Barcelona is doing that, putting younger kids, and making them take the reigns time to time, allows the other players to see that Xavi is willing to do that, and they work harder to keep their positions, they never feel like there is 100% guaranteed roster spot, they have to keep working hard. This may work, or this may fail, but in the end I am sure that the worst case scenario they are getting some great young generation talent that will be amazing for them.

When the team is getting reshuffled every now and then, sometimes it can hamper the consistency of the team. We all know that Barcelona is going through some tough times right now. But no excuse is going to be enough when they are not going to achieve anything. Even though they have a lot of financial problems and they are not being able to get the players that they actually want, people will still want them to perform well. Barcelona is not doing that right now. I have to say if Barcelona cannot get better players, the performance might actually not get better from them.

[Bobrox]

I won't blame Yamal because sometimes football also needs a little ego to test his mentality in making decisions. After all, Barcelona still won by 3 points. Maybe Lewandowski feels that this season he needs to continue scoring goals because he has missed a lot of moments while he was injured. There is nothing wrong with Yamal wanting to take execution, even if it fails, Yamal will be aware of his decision. As a senior, you need to be more patient because in the end Lewandowski will become a role model for young players who will later become Lewandowski replacement in the future. Every player has their own ego, and I'm also sure Lewandowski was also in that position when he was young. There is no need to make it big, and players' ego problems like this will always be present in every match.

I watches bit of Barcelona match highlight last match with Lamine Yamal have ego prefer for shooting than give assists for Robert Lewandowski and make him unhappy without get communicate with Yamal. I don't know what happen with youth Barcelona players more ego when his name have been hype as youngest player make debut for Barcelona and Spain national team. I think will have negative viewed in the future if Lamine Yamal can't change his attitude in the field if not working as the team exactly Barcelona games play as teams work not individual.

Crucial problem with player have ego in the field and make less of teams working will give bad impact for Barcelona in the future, sure if Lewandowski have good position for giving assists he will not gives opportunity for Lamine Yamal due with his ambition want scoring goals than looking for their team mates have bigger chance for scoring goals.

[QueenVera]

Those guys were not pure striker. Barcelona has only lewandowski as a pure striker and good one tap at the upfront. You can force some players to play as a striker to replace him but the instinct owned by pure striker was also totally different.
Lewandowski is much more experienced played as a striker. Xabi has been putting felix and ferran as a striker a few times and they were totally flop when playing as striker. This is why barcelona is demanding to buy a new striker as a back up for lewandowski.

Having someone who understood about the positioning is a must but i remember barcelona is not in a good finance at this moment. It was limiting the ability of barcelona to buy the new striker.
This team has been linked to the several strikers who had very big release clause like haaland. I guess that barcelona doesn't have money to sign him through buy him out by paying more than 100 millions.

Barcelona without Lewandowski has proven to be futile in front of goal and that’s one crazy position every team is in dire need of, being a pure striker is totally different than playing up as a false striker because you might not be as clinical upfront and that can be seen in the case of Barcelona and Real Madrid, as for Madrid they're not currently feeling it, cause they got players from other positions with good finishing so lacking a quality striker won't be noticed.

 Barcelona really needs a striker and very urgently if they’ll challenge for trophies, but  with the current financial situation of the team, i think they’ll have to go for a striker with lesser profile and low cost but is good at finishing, maybe Xavi would help improve him to be the best and improve his profile.

[Salahmu]

Of course you are right because for every team to perform completely well is by having a good strong and tactical defenders and strikers because even if you have a good striker but lack defense the team is not going to work because there would always be lapsis or defense error which will always results to a goal.

However in the case of Barcelona that's what they are facing, they have a good youngsters as there striker but what they are lacking is defenders, so perhaps there coach should have a quick flashback on how the Barcelona was structured before that made them to become that strong they are that time, however defenders like Antonio Rudiger is well suitable for Barcelona defense because he is a very strong defender and knows his role very well.

[Despairo]

Maybe he's a Mbappe's young brother, that's why he want to show off what he can in order to get highlight. Maybe if Yamal perform really consistent in Barcelona, he might move to PSG since they can give higher salary and other benefit that Barcelona can't offer.

He's 16 years old boy, you can recall back what you've doing and how you view the world at 16 years old.

Barcelona has financial trouble and the club has lost ability to recruit the new player. As you can see that if the club is still also having a lot of debts. La liga has been warned this club many times but the thing that is quite strange to see how barcelona was not getting a sanction.
some players will leave as free agent. Barcelona has no money to pay their salary anymore. This club may go bankrupt in the future due to the bad money management.

Barcelona needs to restructured its financial condition but i doubt it can survive with a lot of debts for long term. It just matter of time till barcelona will be give up with the situation.
The club has been selling everything to recover its condition but it's failed.

This is why as a club, there's need for a serious squad depth although having many options sometimes will cost the team financially and the manager could be faced with the case of internal conflicts between the star players because everyone of them wants to be at th start and not a substitute but at least, when a manager sees that loophole, he's meant to fill it immediately.

Lewandowski was the top goal scorer for the league in the last season but since he resumed this season with an injury, be has been unstable and struggling to cope with the challenges and competitions he's faced with. Nevertheless, Ferran Torres is manning up as an alternative to fill the gap through the middle and his efforts have been spectacular and helpful to the club but for how long will it take for the club to find someone who's shoes can replace the efforts of Lewandowski in the last season. Two to three guys are currently in my mind and I will advise Xavi to scout for these players in thr next transfer market to serve as a cover to Lewandowski.

Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen and Martinez of Inter Milan. Any of these three guys will be a great placement to the position of Lewandowski right now.

Osimhen is a one-man swarm that have the capacity of scoring from any angle, height and opportunity. He has shown a good torrent of healthy goals and the ability to press a whole black line on his own. Plus his current issues with the Napoli club president, he's a dream transfer for any club that's looking for a strong striker right now.

Victor Boniface is one player that is very passionate about playing in the Europe and is consistent with his efforts to put goals in the net of opponents. Because of that high spirit and how good he is scored 11 goals for his club with 6 assists in just 16 appearance making him the highest goal scorer for the club so far. When Boniface play with in the midst of the likes of Ferran Torres, Barca will be comfortable with making more goals.

Lautaro Martinez is a player that has the passion to play for Barca since 2021 when it was reported that he spoke with Messi about it then but the effort was futile because of the economic crisis the club was facing then. I think, he will be more than willing to come to Barcelona this period again if given such offer. Martinez is a world cup winner that was named the Serie A Best Player of the Month in the last month of October because of his stunning efforts to make goals for the Inter. He has appeared 16 times this season and have scored 14 goals and assisted in 1.  He also have the age to blend with other players in the Barca team.
