La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ndabagi01]

This draw meant that Barcelona failed to cut the points gap with Girona to 3 points. Barcelona has a 5 point gap with Girona after the draw against Granada, this is clearly not a favorable result for the Catalan team. Xavi is angry, but he has to be very realistic about the weak condition of his squad. Yamal scored 2 goals and 1 goal from Lewandowski, that prevented them from losing.

Barcelona did not deliver a satisfactory result, and I expected them to win easily. Granada performed admirably in that game, and I believe they deserved the one point they received. Barcelona needs to work on their playing style and should not be losing to a team like Granada at this stage. After losing the match, the point gap between them and Girona has widened once more. Actually, given Barcelona's performance, I don't expect them to overtake Girona for second place in the table. Although they can finish in the top four, but they will not finish second on the table with their current performance. They need to improve on their performance.

Barcelona still failed to stop the series of unsatisfactory results against Granada. Even though they are playing at home, Barcelona still has to be satisfied with sharing points with Granada with a score of 3-3. Granada, who played defensively, was very effective in taking advantage of every opportunity available, they managed to avoid defeat even though they were in the relegation zone. It's strange, but Barcelona actually has a lot of problems in defense that make the team unbalanced.

This draw meant that Barcelona failed to cut the points gap with Girona to 3 points.

Xavi is angry, but he has to be very realistic about the weak condition of his squad. Yamal scored 2 goals and 1 goal from Lewandowski, that prevented them from losing.

Interestingly, Barcelona is a team that continues to fail and fail to win matches, which seems very interesting to me in a season with so many good players. In a team like Granada, they fought so hard that it was like a high-level team. Granada was for Barcelona, so despite all that struggle, they could not win the match.

Some things need to be completely changed in Barcelona to prevent this bad scenario from continuing. Granada, which was last in the league, should not have had such a hard time.

I can no longer understand Barcelona's condition this season, even though they have added some pretty great ammunition like Gundogan. The draw against Granada was clearly a blow to Xavi, because the players seemed to no longer follow his instructions. I think conditions like that will be very detrimental to the team as a whole, because even though the opportunity to win is no longer possible, the Blaugrana players should still show their professionalism on the field.

[Volgastallion]

Barcelona defense of this season is gonna be one of the worst this club has in his entire history man, is incredible how easy the enemy teams can make damage on them, no matter how, with a long ball, with passing, with crosses, no matter how they allow goals, and keep in mind they still ahve a super goalkeeper who saves them of much more goals.

I can't imagine Barcelona not winning against a team like Granada. More importantly, Granada scored three goals in this match. Barcelona conceded 3 goals against a team in the relegation zone. I'd say it's a shame for Barcelona.

Granada's attack is not strong. Even then they scored 3 goals against Barcelona. This proves that Barcelona's situation is now very deplorable. Xavi should just fix his defense now. If the defense is not strong, we will see such miserable results of Barcelona in the future.

[skarais]

~~~

We don't need to focus too much on Barcelona because they won't be able to stop Real Madrid, if you think Barcelona is aiming for runner up I think there's no reason because it doesn't mean anything except being a champion, Barcelona's only target is a ticket to the Champions League next season and they have secured it. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Barcelona gets bad results in the next few matches because as I said before they have no other target, against Granada is one clear example how could Barcelona not be able to beat Granada while Granada always plays with bad results. If you are a gambler, you should avoid betting on Barcelona matches, especially against weak teams I'm afraid they are 'collecting money'  yeah maybe you understand what I mean.

There is a bad record that haunts Barcelona when they play Granada. Not only this season, Barcelona also drew last season both at home and away. This bad record makes Barcelona uncomfortable every time they face Granada, Barcelona even failed to maintain their lead despite dominating the match. Regardless of the reasons including weak defense and others, the head-to-head record is something that cannot be completely ignored.

Apart from Granada, there are other teams that always give Barcelona difficulties. The team I mean is Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona has always failed to get full points against this team in the last 5 matches. There is prestige between lower teams like Granada and Rayo Vallecano when playing against Barcelona, ​​but that doesn't mean Barcelona is completely bad.

It seems like Barcelona panicked because they saw Granada's strength, which of course cannot be underestimated, the proof is that it is a shame because several Barcelona players were unable to take advantage of opportunities.
Lewandowski was great, he also scored a goal in this match and the hero in this match was of course Lamine Yamal, he who scored 2 goals in this match. and the appearance of Lamine yamal is very good. Yes, we'll see in the next match whether Barcelona will win against Celta or not. Granada also seems to have to be careful in the match against Almeria because Almeria has so far produced a 3-3 draw against Girona of course this will be a lesson for Alex Medina.

Today I watched the highlights of the game and yes, Granada looked very good, but what kind of strength are you talking about? The team is in 19th place and has 13 points from 24 games. This is the obvious outsider. The problem is Barcelona - they have a terrible defense (Granada could have scored more) and against its background even teams like Granada look dangerous.
You can be 95% sure that Athletic will win against Almeria today (the team has 6 points and 17 defeats lol) and so it turns out that we will have an interesting fight for the top 4 where Barcelona will not be safe at all.

I don't recognize this Barcelona. This team cannot be one of the best teams in world football for years. Barcelona should not concede 3 goals from Granada in its home field. This should not be accepted. They should analyze where they are making mistakes. The team's defensive zone is facing serious problems. They should make a new transfer to the defense.

Before now, Barcelona were regarded as one of the strongest teams not just in the Spanish La Liga but also in the UEFA Champions League competition and were feared by the smaller clubs but since they started underperforming, almost all the clubs that are facing does not see that fear factor in them again and now believes that Barcelona are very much beatable.

The 3:3 draw between Granada and Barcelona yesterday is a prove that the claims .of the club manager Xavi Hernandez are true. The Spanish manager last month said that things have gone too bad at the club and that it'll be very difficult to maintain the club again hence his decision to leave the club at the end of the current season. Barcelona are currently in the third position of the league table but if they continue with their current performance, they might not finish the season in the top four of the league table

In my opinion, Barcelona's reign of football is slowly coming to an end. The fact that Barcelona could not win their home match is a big proof of that. As a Barcelona fan I feel a lot of shame for the bad streak of Barcelona players. If Barcelona continue to lose their consistency like this, it won't take long for Barcelona to join the ranks of weaker clubs. Now Barcelona should acquire new players for next season. So that Barcelona can once again be at the top of La Liga.

[hyudien]

Barcelona defense of this season is gonna be one of the worst this club has in his entire history man, is incredible how easy the enemy teams can make damage on them, no matter how, with a long ball, with passing, with crosses, no matter how they allow goals, and keep in mind they still ahve a super goalkeeper who saves them of much more goals.

They have conceded a total of 33 goals in the 24 matches they have played. Although they can have a productive attacking line, I can't hide their weaknesses.
For example, in their last match they were held to a draw by a team in the relegation zone, Granada. They did score 3 goals, but they also conceded 3 goals which ultimately prevented them from winning. From this we can see that balance is something that every team must have. Many teams that have a sharp attacking line but they do not have a solid defense must fail.
And what is more worrying is when they can't do anything to make their defense better, including they can only stay silent when the transfer market arrives because of the financial limitations they have.

[ShowOff]

There is nothing strange, Granada is almost the same as most other teams which focus on defending and then taking advantage of counter attacks. They take more shots every time they have the ball in front of the goal, which makes for better goal opportunities. For a while, Barcelona has been 1-2 behind Granada and this is not a good signal for Barcelona. They need a win after Girona lost to Real Madrid, otherwise Barcelona will still have a 6 point gap from Girona.

Luckily Lewandowski changed the position not long after Granada took the lead. The score changed to 2-2 and I hope Barcelona will increase the intensity of their attacks in the remainder of the second half. Granada wants to go home with at least 1 point, that's what they usually do when they play Barcelona.

But what happened was a little annoying, there were 3 goals in 6 minutes.

It is now 3-3 and Lamine Yamal has scored it, what a crazy second half, super entertaining. Now all the players are under adrenaline and extremely motivated, everyone can win, it looks like. There are only a few minutes left to play and 6 goals is a lot and always makes for a spectacle. Barcelona cant be satisfied with a draw, these are important points in the league. They are currently 5 points behind girona in 3rd place and right behind them is Atl. Madrid.

I'm not really sure about what happened to Barcelona in the match against Granada. Barcelona should be able to get a double advantage when they play at home, but they let Granada steal 1 point and continue suffering for Barcelona. Of course I didn't expect this, but the result of the match did not go according to plan.

It's a bit regretful to see Barcelona fail to close the points gap with Girona who previously lost to Real Madrid, but everything has ended so I think Barcelona's target this season is the Champions League zone. Meanwhile, Barcelona will have to do better against Napoli in the round of 16 in a few days, Xavi will have to give his all and make this team more balanced. Of course he managed to get some new young talents from the academy, but the players were not very strong due to their lack of experience.

So that Barcelona can once again be at the top of La Liga.

Consistency is the top priority for Xavi Hernandez this period because mere watching the performance and stats of Barcelona, it's not encourageble to watch their matches. They can't move to the top because they're showing zero signs of transforming to a formidable team. Barcelona dropped heavily in performance, they have no solid ground of bouncing back to triumphant victory this season, definitely weigh out of line. Barcelona changes in elite performance, they lack the imperative qualities to hold unto because the players are out of line.

They seemed extra focused against Barcelona. I don't remember them playing this well in their other matches, but this match could be a breakthrough match for Granada. If you can score 3 goals against Barcelona, ​​you can score against other teams. They scored important goals against Barcelona and there is no choice but to congratulate Granada for this match.

[ZAINmalik75]

Real Madrid are by far the best side in all of La Liga Competition, winning Girona is no easy thing to do but they did do that effortlessly.
Shout out to Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and lastly Rodygoes for all contribution to win that game at the very end. Most likely it'll be Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo for that trio up front.

You are right that currently Real Madrid is focusing on the UEFA Champions league and La Liga. Real Madrid are looking promising and strong against Girona because they are the one of strongest teams in La Liga as well as UCL so on the pitch Real Madrid did not hesitate to face a club like Girona.
And in matches, Real Madrid have performanceed so well. Besides that All players contribute so well, like Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo and Jude Bellingham. The three players are the key to getting the victory because all of them have the beautiful ability to get goals and give the team the victory. In the addition Killyan Mbappe will be good for Real Madrid if they get success to get the chance to sign him. Because they already have good players despite Killyan Mbappe's signing, it will give them a lot of confidence.

This season Barcelona is really unlucky, and also has a very fragile back line. Regarding the front line, I don't think there is anything that needs to be commented on because the proof is that they are able to score goals easily, but unfortunately they always have weaknesses at the back.
With these results, Barcelona should focus on maintaining their position rather than desperately trying to catch Girona's points. Currently Barca's big threat is being overtaken by Atletico Madrid, Bilbao and Real Betis. If they are careless, it is possible that next season they will miss the Champions League qualification.

I don't know if Granada is playing really well or Girona is getting worse now
Barcelona were 2 up and they had to come back with 3 goals by Granada in this match. Barcelona's attacking line actually played very well but it was covered by the poor performance of the attacking line which made their performance become floating and unable to make a good thing.
Though in the last few matches they played quite well but in this match Xavi again had problems.
Honestly, I still emphasize that their tiki taka is actually still very good until now but when you see their attack patterns that are always all out, this creates a gap for the defense and it was proven in this match where they were completely helpless in the face of Barcelona's counterattacks.

Barcelona will not be fine as long as their financial condition is not good. Last season Xavi successfully won the La Liga title when his squad was really good and the system he built worked perfectly. Barcelona only conceded 20 goals in 38 matches last season, but this is the opposite this season. Barcelona has conceded 33 goals in 24 matches and this number will continue to increase considering that there are still 14 matches yet to be played.

Barcelona management has to work hard to improve their squad next season and Xavi also has to make sure this season doesn't get worse. The performance of Barcelona's defensive players seemed unstable due to injury problems, which made it difficult for Barcelona to end the match without conceding. You may be right, it makes a lot of sense for Barcelona to maintain a safe position in the Champions League zone instead of fighting for the title after Real Madrid created a 10-point gap.

Of course, because Barcelona needs to refresh stronger players to be able to compete in this fairly tight league. However, due to limited funds, this becomes difficult. Whether it's Xavi or someone else who becomes the next coach, it will definitely be a tough challenge for him to rebuild Barcelona to be as strong as before. Lewandowski, became Barcelona's successful purchase after his glory days began to fade. But now the condition is not as great as before. He was injured several times and was unable to play optimally. Barcelona needs a much stronger forward besides Lewandowski, at least not just using Lewy. Not only that, Barcelona's defense can also be said to be quite weak, right? But what else, this time there hasn't been much change due to limited funds. This will be quite a tough challenge for the next coach. Especially after Barcelona's inability to win against lower-class teams, it is really sad to see their disappointment. Luckily, Barcelona is still in 3rd place, so at least they are still safe from entering the UCL qualifications.

Oh yes, now Bilbao is playing against Almeria. And this is quite annoying too. Even though Almeria only played with 10 players since the red card was issued in the 53rd minute. Unfortunately, Bilbao were not able to take advantage of this opportunity and score a goal. This is truly unfortunate. Even though the match has now entered the 85th minute. What's worse is that Bilbao are also quite pressed by attacks from Almeria. What's this?

Even though Barcelona is experiencing a bad financial crisis, they are always required to do something good every season. The pressure inside and outside was very unpleasant, even Xavi really felt it and explained the situation. It is not easy to be Barcelona coach amidst financial difficulties, they will have difficulty improving their team let alone winning titles.

But last season Xavi had a great season. He managed to make Barcelona rise and win the La Liga title and Super Cup, but this season everything changed. Araujo, Kounde, Christensen, Balde and Joao Cancelo all suffered injuries, even Ter Stegen was absent due to the same problem. The defense has become fragile and this has made Barcelona fail in all competitions so far. There is only a chance in the Champions League, but the chance is 10/100 compared to Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

If we imagine, of course Xavi is under pressure to be able to make Barcelona stronger, while they are unable to recruit the players they really need because they are hampered by finances that have not improved. For this reason, it is not right for some fans to blame Xavi because Xavi has tried to make Barcelona strong, but other teams are stronger than them. Which makes Xavi have to change his mind and choose to resign at the end of this season. Barcelona is indeed a team that is respected by other teams in Laliga, but if they have difficulty recruiting quality players then their strength will be inferior to Real Madrid.

Last season, Barcelona was indeed stronger than Real Madrid, but in contrast to this season, Barcelona was quite weak when facing Real Madrid. We'll see who is the next coach chosen by management after Xavi officially leaves at the end of this season. Barcelona in yesterday match also lost full points even though they faced a team ranked low in the standings.

[snipie]

This round matches witnessed the defeat of Girona, Atletico Madrid and the draw of Barcelona making Real Madrid the team that profited the most by increasing the points gap up to 5 points from Girona and 10 from Barcelona.
Girona received a heavy score by 4 goals to 0 against Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid defeat wasn't expected vs Sevilla! Even Grenada picking a point from Barcelona was a surprise and show how bad the team is..

[Alpha Marine]

They seemed extra focused against Barcelona. I don't remember them playing this well in their other matches, but this match could be a breakthrough match for Granada.

I think it's Barcelona that made them seem extra focused. Barcelona was that bad. It doesn't matter how focused Granada is, Barcelona shouldn't have allowed them to score more than a goal. Granada has the worst away-for record in the league this season, that alone is reason enough for Barcelona to eat them up alive.
This Barcelona team is just so bad that any team looks like prime Brazil against them. They leave so much space behind for the opposition to exploit.

Barcelona better not play like that in the Champions League or else they will be humiliated again. Last season's Barcelona struggled against teams that play low block because they're very defensive, but teams that attack all the time leave space for Barcelona to exploit. This season, any team that attacks is winning or getting a point from Barcelona and if the team plays with a low block they also stand a chance to get a point. That's how bad Barcelona has been this season.
