La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

For me, as long as Barcelona can still stay in the top four, of course it will still be a good result and not bad at all. I also don't expect Barcelona to always be a title candidate every season because maintaining consistency is certainly not as easy as imagine . But indeed, because Barcelona during Xavi coaching was only good in La Liga, and then if this season Barcelona fails in La Liga then of course that will be a bad result because Barcelona is also not very promising in getting good results in the Champions League.

It is highly unlikely to expect Barcelona to dominate La Liga every consecutive season, even if Barcelona gets out of its financial troubles. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are teams that can also be candidates for the title in each different season, so these three are competitors who will really fight for the title each season.

However, there is one interesting fact, Barcelona is the only La Liga team that has won 5 La Liga titles in the last 9 seasons. Barcelona failed for many seasons to win the Champions League title, but Barcelona has become the best La Liga team in the last decade. I know Real Madrid is the team that has won the title more often than just Barcelona, ​​while Atletico Madrid is a tough contender but rarely wins it. Xavi is considered successful at Barcelona, ​​of course because he made good improvements in the Champions League this season by bringing Barcelona through to the round of 16.

Of course, but Xavi is trying to shoulder the team in times of need. What they want to do is very challenging. They will not spend much money and will be successful. This seems unlikely. He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.

So far with the  composition of Barcelona players being very worrying after Lewandowski goal productivity has decreased Barcelona which is plagued by  financial problems has  taken advantage of the situation by limping  along and Xavi has  no other choice. He could be said to be in a  dilemma because this club has too many problems which make the players lose concentration on the field. Barcelona from outside or within the squad not benefited  much this season. Luckily even though making it to the top 3 is not  a bad achievement they can still try  to maximize the opportunities  they have. Barcelona has ruled out fighting for the  trophy with Madrid and Girona, because what they want  to do is secure their current position until the end of the season.

Barcelona are not in good form this season. It will  be very difficult for them to win the La  Liga title. Because their performance is very erratic and at the same time Barcelona is  behind Real Madrid by a big gap of 7 points. If the performance is not regular, it will not be possible to reduce this gap of 7 points.
Barcelona are still in financial trouble. So  they are not able to strengthen their  squad enough by buying players at high prices. Barcelona needs another experienced striker in the attack. Lewandowski's performances are  now quite erratic. At the same time, Barcelona needs an experienced  defender in the squad. If not, it will not be possible for  Barcelona to maintain dominance in the Champions League and La Liga.

I think what you said reflects Barcelona situation as a whole, which means the challenges and pressure that Xavi will face in the future are very big. Limited space in the transfer window due to a limited budget, injuries to key players and the instability of available players are factors why Barcelona is currently shaken, but it is clear that in the future Xavi can find the best solution to get Barcelona back on track. On the other hand, no one needs to be blamed at this time, everyone in the club collectively takes responsibility for the situation experienced.

Like clockwork, ups and downs in performance will definitely continue to come, but from another perspective we have to give appreciation to Xavi, because he was able to maintain Barcelona performance so that it didn't fall into freefall. In fact, I think that if the situation they are currently experiencing were similar to other clubs, perhaps their performance would be worse than Barcelona today. I see that Barcelona is starting regeneration in its squad, in my opinion this transition period is very risky for performance, but there is no wiser choice in the long term than to suffer first and have fun later.

Barcelona even though their performance in the last season was perfect has dropped significantly in this season and this is connected truly with the crisis in the club and the hard financial challenges that the club is facing which have led them to slide out of the top clubs in this season, at first we thought that Barcelona will make a consistent follow up of what their did to those clubs in the last season, but along the line it was discovered that alot has gone wrong with the club.

But much more to that is the motivation of the present players to be able to sustain the present pace or even increase their performance which could position the club for the next round and also aid the club to finish the season in the top 5.

[ShowOff]

OK, Real Madrid might make more money than Barcelona just because Real Madrid made it to the semifinals of the Champions League, so what have they achieved? Expectations for Real Madrid are always high when it comes to winning titles, but they failed miserably last season if they didn't talk about business.

So far I am not one of those people who hate Real Madrid and any team for failing to win the title, but I have never regretted saying that Real Madrid was bad in domestic competition last season even when Barcelona had to face big problems. Barcelona was much better than Real Madrid last season, that is the fact.

Well, it is true that Barcelona was definitely better than Real Madrid in the last season. But I don't know about Barcelona being "far better" compared to Real Madrid. And this season Barcelona is absolutely trash. At least when we think about Barcelona as the defending champion of La Liga, trash is the correct word here in my opinion.

es, they are in the third position but the one difference is quite big already. It is going to be hard for Barcelona to get back in the first position. I don't think there is any point talking about the last season because it is already in the past. This season Real Madrid is looking better. But I still don't know if Real Madrid will be able to win the Champions League or not.

You're right, Barcelona were trash this season, but you have to realize that Real Madrid were absolutely trash last season too. The two teams traded places as trash teams in different seasons, only they were the two competitors who really made La Liga better. Do you want to debate that? I think one of those two teams is absolutely trash if they fail to win the title.

This season things have been difficult for Barcelona. They are 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, but La Liga is not over yet. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also likely to be considered trash if Girona wins the title. But anyway, we're not arguing about trash, right?

I agree with you, I don't see why Xavi is to be blamed for what Barcelona are going through right now. There is no way that they Barcelona will be winning the league every season. If they are not winning the games now, I think the team is just in a transition and will do better next season if they buy the right players. For me Xavi has done well as a coach.

The coach is fully responsible for the decline in the team's performance. Last season Barcelona performed extraordinary by winning the La Liga trophy, while this season Barcelona's performance has experienced a very significant decline compared to last season. The coach's dismissal occurred due to the team's increasingly poor performance. Tuchel has experienced the situation when Chelsea is unable to maintain its best performance. He is the one who is being blamed for the team's poor performance.
It's true, it's impossible for Barcelona to win trophies every season, at least he must be able to make Barcelona compete with Real Madrid in the title race.

For me, as long as Barcelona can still stay in the top four, of course it will still be a good result and not bad at all. I also don't expect Barcelona to always be a title candidate every season because maintaining consistency is certainly not as easy as imagine . But indeed, because Barcelona during Xavi coaching was only good in La Liga, and then if this season Barcelona fails in La Liga then of course that will be a bad result because Barcelona is also not very promising in getting good results in the Champions League.

Barcelona are not in good form this season. It will  be very difficult for them to win the La  Liga title. Because their performance is very erratic and at the same time Barcelona is  behind Real Madrid by a big gap of 7 points. If the performance is not regular, it will not be possible to reduce this gap of 7 points.
Barcelona are still in financial trouble. So  they are not able to strengthen their  squad enough by buying players at high prices. Barcelona needs another experienced striker in the attack. Lewandowski's performances are  now quite erratic. At the same time, Barcelona needs an experienced  defender in the squad. If not, it will not be possible for  Barcelona to maintain dominance in the Champions League and La Liga.

Barcelona is facing a very difficult time s this season with poor performance based on lack of good striker and poros defence. The worst of all they are financially broke which makes it impossible for a replacement and transformation of the club to be back in a good form. It is a pity that there is nothing Xavi can do about it to improve things because no funds.

Any club in this state will never win any league and I don't thing that Barcelona is exempted. Xavi just have to try his best and manage the players that he has to see if they can be able to maintain the top four on Laliga, so that they can qualify next season to UCL, as for their performance in UCL, I don't think that it will be possible for them to go far.

[rahmad2nd]

Of course, but Xavi is trying to shoulder the team in times of need. What they want to do is very challenging. They will not spend much money and will be successful. This seems unlikely. He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.

Most of the blame will still be on xavi as it has to do with the teams performance and it's normal that whenever a team is declining in their performance the first point of call is the coach and it's very fine because he overseas every affair of the team especially on the pitch and the results they produce.

There are young players who are able to help the team get desired results as expected of them, this was seen in their las two games when firstly was the pattern of the game experienced after a few changes and in the most recent has to do with the performance of the team using the younger and good players all through so I will say so far it's more of a tactical problem and player's placement if xavi can further improve on these aspect he can make do with the squad he has got and possibly get amongst top four even if he's in able to win the lalig a this season but then by next season he will be properly positioned for winning trophies.

As I said previously in several posts, Barcelona actually has a fairly competitive squad. It would be a shame if Xavi couldn't maximize and manage it well. We know very well what Barcelona is experiencing with its financial situation, they are even trying to borrow several other players to strengthen their team. and yeah, Xavi has an important role as a coach, so that doesn't mean we blame him for the situation his team is currently experiencing. but more about how he has to fix his squad so that it gets back on track.

IMO, currently Barcelona is experiencing a decline in several sectors. Barcelona's defense is currently not as strong as last season, especially as young goalkeeper Inaki Pena is not as reliable as Ter Steger. Apart from this, Barcelona's front line had difficulty scoring goals even though they had enough chances. in particular, Lewandoeski. Apart from that, several players were injured. For me, all teams are involved, not just their young players who are currently starting to develop. also, how Xavi tries his best for his squad. after all, he was the architect of Barcelona. who must design his team as strong as possible, and improve on the weaknesses. that's why, we put more emphasis on Xavi but not to judge him. Except, almost all of Barcelona's main players are injured, we can understand that.

Well, we agree on one aspect. However, more precisely to improve the quality of all players. Xavi can try rotating, changing and placing his players. If necessary, Xavi can apply several patterns and also change the system. but we are well aware that what we say is not as easy as the reality. What is certain is that I hope Barcelona will be able to show their best game.

On how a team performs on the pitch is always directed to the coach. If they do well, the coach will be praised and if they don’t do well, he’ll also be blamed for their poor performance. A team will not always be in their best form but at least the coach should limit the number of losses compared to the number of wins for his team. I am not to blame Xavi also for what the team is playing now, but if there’s room for improvement, he should do that because everyone always wants to be the winning team year in year out.

This season things have been difficult for Barcelona. They are 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, but La Liga is not over yet. Barcelona and Real Madrid are also likely to be considered trash if Girona wins the title. But anyway, we're not arguing about trash, right? 

As much as I'd like Girona to win LaLiga, its kinda impossible because Real Madrid currently has the best team around especially with Bellingham in it. This would be a sweet dark horse story like we had on Leicester when they won the EPL but this of course is going to be pretty hard for Girona. As a matter of fact, I got my outright bet on them but atleast until they are clear 6 points ahead from Real madrid

I can't blame xavi Hernandez for anything that is happening now in the Barcelona team, he won the league last season against all odds and since then the competition has become intence, hence i expect barca to have to difficult time this season, it is normal for teams like barca to experience such difficulties especially when you have injury worries within the fold, this all points to fact that barca needs more experienced player who are hungry to win big things and players who possess the right mentality to win games.

As much as we want to see a new team competing the top teams, as much we underestimate them to win the competition. Girona are playing very well until now but we can't trust them to continue being good since we don't know them as we know Barcelona or Real Madrid even though Barcelona performance dropped comparing to the previous season.
Myself can't think that Real Madrid will let Girona win the title but I can't rule out this possibility before I see if Girona could maintain their nice form or not!

He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.

Of course, the burden that Xavi bears is very heavy for the Barcelona team, because Barcelona has quality players such as Kounde, Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Balde, Rapibha, Frankie de Jong, Roque, all of whom are being targeted by other interested clubs. pay a lot of money for them. Add experienced players like Lewa, Gundogan, Cristensen, Inigo, Cancello, Felix, and Barcelona's squad is actually good, but this season Xavi has failed to utilize the existing squad of players.

Xavi this season failed in Laliga, I think their hopes of retaining the Laliga title have disappeared, the only hope they have is the Copa Del Ray title. Because for me this season their journey in the UCL league won't be long, even if they win against Napoli (because Napoli are in a slump) they will fail if they meet a strong team, because Barcelona's condition is currently unstable.

You're right, Barcelona were trash this season, but you have to realize that Real Madrid were absolutely trash last season too. The two teams traded places as trash teams in different seasons, only they were the two competitors who really made La Liga better. Do you want to debate that? I think one of those two teams is absolutely trash if they fail to win the title.

I personally don't think Real Madrid or Barcelona is actually going to lose to Girona when it comes to the La Liga title. Well, I don't know about Barcelona because they are not performing well. And they are the defending champions. But I still think Real Madrid has a better chance to win the La Liga title compared to Girona. I am not trying to disrespect Girona. I think they have done a wonderful job. But I don't think they will be able to sustain that level of performance in the long run. Had some point the performances going to drop and that's when the difference in terms of points are going to be created with Real Madrid.

Girona brings new hope in La Liga this season, Michel fleet has performed consistently for 19 weeks, that means Girona has the opportunity to break the dominance of the two La Liga leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona, yes I will not forget Atletico too in this matter. Because Girona does not have a history of success in La Liga, most fans still doubt Girona at this time, even though they have the same number of points as Madrid in the standings.

The reputation of Los Blancos and the resources they have make us more confident in their performance until the end of the season, although on the other hand we realize that their challenge is bigger than Girona and that is waiting for Ancelotti Armada. I mean Madrid has more competitions that they participate in, automatically their match schedule is denser, their vulnerability to the risk of player injury increases, things like that in my opinion could provide a good opportunity for Girona to lead the standings in the future.

We have finished reading about the story of Leicester City in the EPL, and it is possible that we will read this story a second time in a different name and place, Girona-La Liga. All neutral La Liga fans certainly hope that can happen, but we have to be realistic that there are still 19 games left in the season. That means things are still up in the air, but while I personally appreciate Girona and their achievements so far, I think all clubs should now take respect them.

[AakZaki]

If Barcelona don't get new players in the winter transfer window who can help the team, then of course they don't have much chance of winning the Primera... But still there are 19 games left until the end of the season, and seven points is not very much, although I think that Real will win the title this season... But it will be a big surprise if Girona do it...

I don't understand Barcelona's current financial condition. In the last few moments I read that they still have a lot of debt regarding transfer issues. It seems that Barcelona currently needs money to sell Ronald Araujo. Barcelona offers Araujo at a high price. Currently, Bayern Munich is very interested and has made Araujo their main transfer target. Maybe Xavi plans to use the money to buy new players.

[KTChampions]

Absolutely not. Real won the Copa del Rey + they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. The mere fact that they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League outweighs all the achievements (Super Cup + La Liga) of Barcelona. Fair or not, from a business point of view, the Champions League is more important than the national championship because it gives more money. Moreover, the fact that Real lost the title last year was quite natural given the restructuring they made.

OK, Real Madrid might make more money than Barcelona just because Real Madrid made it to the semifinals of the Champions League, so what have they achieved? Expectations for Real Madrid are always high when it comes to winning titles, but they failed miserably last season if they didn't talk about business.

So far I am not one of those people who hate Real Madrid and any team for failing to win the title, but I have never regretted saying that Real Madrid was bad in domestic competition last season even when Barcelona had to face big problems. Barcelona was much better than Real Madrid last season, that is the fact.

Absolutely right, I don’t argue that Barcelona was better, but when Xavi made transfers from the last financial possibilities, Barcelona’s plans were to get to at least 1/4 of the Champions League.
What do we end up with? Barcelona took the title and are close to bankruptcy. Real didn't take the title, but they have the money to make signings like Bellingham, they can buy Mbappe next summer and complete a rebuild of the club that will generate income for the next decade (including titles and this season's La Liga title is already in Real's pocket).
You can't separate football from business and at the moment Real is the top club and Barcelona is no longer.

I am not to blame Xavi also for what the team is playing now, but if there’s room for improvement, he should do that because everyone always wants to be the winning team year in year out.

Xavi needs to be blamed because he is the head coach and he can make the team stop performing poorly because he has the right to sell and buy new players in the team since the transfer windows are still moving he can buy some new players to make the team more stronger because how am seeing Lewandowski he can help the club again he has already lost form and xavi need to find a new young players that can substitute him, this season xavi is not competing with Madrid and Girona and the league is for Real Madrid or Girona this season.

Barcelona should just try to get a trophy, even if it is a Copa del Rey because Real Madrid is playing against Athletico Madrid in the cup, and Athletico Madrid has opportunities against Real Madrid and they can defeat them again as they did in the league, but even if they defeat Madrid, it will not be easy because Ancelotti will not try to lose against Athletico Madrid again in the cup, and they still have semi-finals to play tomorrow with Athletico Madrid. Real Madrid needs to prepare for this games and I believe they will try there possible best to win all there matches against Athletico Madrid.

[Furious 7]

I personally don't think Real Madrid or Barcelona is actually going to lose to Girona when it comes to the La Liga title. Well, I don't know about Barcelona because they are not performing well. And they are the defending champions. But I still think Real Madrid has a better chance to win the La Liga title compared to Girona. I am not trying to disrespect Girona. I think they have done a wonderful job. But I don't think they will be able to sustain that level of performance in the long run. Had some point the performances going to drop and that's when the difference in terms of points are going to be created with Real Madrid.

The belief is quite rational actually because however by looking at the strength of the players then surely Barcelona and Madrid are still the main candidates for the race but on the other hand conditions like this must also see how in terms of performance.

Currently Barcelona's condition is not in good condition, some of their players are still injured and cannot defend Barcelona for a little longer because of the healing that is done, on the other hand the performance of their strikers is also declining and Xavi cannot freely make purchases for player options because of their financial problems so in this case I think it is still a little difficult for Barcelona if they really want the trophy to be at Camp Nou again because apart from balancing their financial conditions which are still very problematic, they also have to pay attention to their performance to be better than before and indirectly the demands for Xavi and these players are greater.

[laurenB7742]

For me, as long as Barcelona can still stay in the top four, of course it will still be a good result and not bad at all. I also don't expect Barcelona to always be a title candidate every season because maintaining consistency is certainly not as easy as imagine . But indeed, because Barcelona during Xavi coaching was only good in La Liga, and then if this season Barcelona fails in La Liga then of course that will be a bad result because Barcelona is also not very promising in getting good results in the Champions League.

Barcelona are not in good form this season. It will  be very difficult for them to win the La  Liga title. Because their performance is very erratic and at the same time Barcelona is  behind Real Madrid by a big gap of 7 points. If the performance is not regular, it will not be possible to reduce this gap of 7 points.
Barcelona are still in financial trouble. So  they are not able to strengthen their  squad enough by buying players at high prices. Barcelona needs another experienced striker in the attack. Lewandowski's performances are  now quite erratic. At the same time, Barcelona needs an experienced  defender in the squad. If not, it will not be possible for  Barcelona to maintain dominance in the Champions League and La Liga.

Barcelona is facing a very difficult time s this season with poor performance based on lack of good striker and poros defence. The worst of all they are financially broke which makes it impossible for a replacement and transformation of the club to be back in a good form. It is a pity that there is nothing Xavi can do about it to improve things because no funds.

Any club in this state will never win any league and I don't thing that Barcelona is exempted. Xavi just have to try his best and manage the players that he has to see if they can be able to maintain the top four on Laliga, so that they can qualify next season to UCL, as for their performance in UCL, I don't think that it will be possible for them to go far.

The downfall of Barcelona started mainly due to their financial troubles. They failed to recruit new players and had to sign free agents and players who could be bought for less money. Even after that, they would have trouble signing them in La Liga due to the wage issues and something.

Actually, they are totally out of the title race and they should start worrying about their place in the top 4, to be honest. Athletico Bilbao might snatch their position anytime now, Barcelona needs a reliable forward and a reliable defender. Lewnandonski has lost his touch with the ball and cannot do much. The other defenders are also having hard times. And most importantly both of their creative midfielders are injured which makes it hard for them to be creative with the ball in the middle of the pitch. The only position that is looking strong for them is the Goalkeeper position.

I personally don't think Real Madrid or Barcelona is actually going to lose to Girona when it comes to the La Liga title. Well, I don't know about Barcelona because they are not performing well. And they are the defending champions. But I still think Real Madrid has a better chance to win the La Liga title compared to Girona. I am not trying to disrespect Girona. I think they have done a wonderful job. But I don't think they will be able to sustain that level of performance in the long run. Had some point the performances going to drop and that's when the difference in terms of points are going to be created with Real Madrid.

We do acknowledge Girona's performance and progress so far in La Liga this season. that is really impressive and extraordinary for a club that was previously considered an underrated or small club and in the end this season can really improve drastically and impressively compete with Real Madrid and also Barcelona. and even Girona is above Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the moment with quite a big difference in points.

However, even though at the moment the number of points between Real Madrid and Girona is exactly the same, the only difference is the number of goals, but I think the La Liga title holders this season will still be Real Madrid. Because after all, Real Madrid has a stronger and more prepared squad compared to Girona and when they meet other strong teams later, Real Madrid's winning percentage will probably be higher than Girona. This is if we look at the squad data statistics and their strength. But once again, that is based on what has usually happened so far, but whether there will be a miracle with Girona experiencing perfect match results, that is beyond prediction.

What is certain is that whether Girona holds the La Liga title this season or not, their progress so far has been recognized as very impressive, and moreover, they will definitely become even more famous when finally next season they can enter the competition in the Champions League (UCL).
