La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[el kaka22]

What I wonder is not Real getting the league title, which I am sure they will, but what will happen with Xavi and Barcelona. Lets be honest, they are at quarter finals now, and they could finish second, what is the point of letting Xavi go? This dude got them a title in la liga and a quarter finals at UCL within two seasons, that's bad?

I do not get it, if I was Barcelona management then I would do everything in my power to keep him. Not only that, because success is one thing, but also they have absolutely no money at all, and Xavi managed to make so many young stars come out and play this well, he took this team from the brink of bankruptcy and they could sell 5 young players today and pay ALL their debt. How can they let someone like Xavi go?

Beause they are in quarterfinal, not because them playing good , was more a lucky in the groups stage in an easy one and in round of 16 they played against one of the worst Napoli in years, you can check it already, they are 8º in the serie A right now and dont have any course.

And they know this is only a breeze.

Barcelona clearly doesn't want their struggle to end here, they want to prove that their potential is still good to beat Napoli. As we know, Napoli is currently in an unstable condition in the league, so it provides a good opportunity for Barcelona. Whatever Barcelona does this time makes its fans very happy because it has given them confidence that Barcelona is still a strong team even though they are struggling. I think in La Liga I doubt that Barcelona could be in first place by only winning 3 matches if it wasn't accompanied by Madrid's defeat because Barcelona is already quite far behind.

Barcelona managed to win the second leg match against Napoli with a score of 3-1 and I think that is very normal and cannot be a benchmark so we cannot take this too seriously because Napoli is a team that is quite down this season so it looks easy for Barcelona.

It must be said that Barcelona's performance has improved in the last few matches, but to be able to catch Real Madrid at the top of the standings, I think it is very difficult, although mathematically it is still possible, but it is impossible for Barcelona to continue to face Real Madrid, which currently has strong strength and will fall in several matches.

Barcelona's performance has improved recently, and since then, Barcelona has won their matches in the league, but that doesn't mean Barcelona is in the title race with Real Madrid. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points in the La Liga table, and Barcelona cannot be consistent enough to put pressure on Real Madrid. Barcelona should first overtake Girona before thinking of winning the La Liga trophy this season.

How can they let someone like Xavi go?

What I see from what management is doing is that they want something instant, they are not aware of their mistakes in the past that made them like this now. They demand Xavi to give them the title, but they can't provide everything Xavi needs this season, is that something wise for them to do? I don't think that's wise at all. They didn't see the process that Xavi carried out, I also don't know what they were thinking all this time.

Now Xavi is rumored to be leaving Barcelona at the end of this season, and I want to see if they can get what they wanted all along or they will regret having missed out on a coach who actually has quite a lot of potential. But now he can't show it because he still doesn't get what he needs. This is a management error in my opinion, because it cannot be denied that when a club has the wrong management pattern it will make things more difficult for them and I see that happening within Barcelona.

If this season Xavi leaves and they are even worse than this, I wonder what they will do next.

[Palakka]

Barcelona's performance has improved recently, and since then, Barcelona has won their matches in the league, but that doesn't mean Barcelona is in the title race with Real Madrid. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points in the La Liga table, and Barcelona cannot be consistent enough to put pressure on Real Madrid. Barcelona should first overtake Girona before thinking of winning the La Liga trophy this season.

Barcelona's performance this season continues to improve over time not only in the league but even in the Champions League they are currently unstoppable, currently Madrid has left Barcelona as much as 8 points and certainly with the 10 remaining matches now there is still hope for Barcelona to catch Madrid, but with the record Madrid are unable to maintain their consistency in the remaining matches later,  But if Madrid can also remain consistent then it is impossible for Barcelona to do so.

I think what you said is quite true because Barcelona should be aiming for second place because it looks more realistic than having to chase Madrid which is somewhat impossible now, currently Barcelona and Girona only have a difference of 1 goal and it is not so difficult for Barcelona to win the position of Girona later if Xavi is able to continue to bring victory in each of their matches later,  Moreover, I think Barcelona only needs 1 match to be able to raise their position above Girona and of course the match between Barcelona vs Girona later in week 34 can be a good opportunity for Barcelona to take second place from La Liga from Girona.

How can they let someone like Xavi go?

I also wonder whether Barcelona will be able to change Xavi's desire not to leave at the end of the season or will they fail to keep him. Qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is Barcelona's big achievement this season, but Barcelona's performance this season is very different. Barcelona failed in the Spanish Super Cup, they also failed in the Copa Del Rey, Barcelona even has the potential to fail in La Liga. They are almost certainly without a title this season, so it must be difficult to contain Xavi and change his will at the moment.

I know Xavi is the coach Barcelona needs to achieve something big, but he doesn't have enough budget to build his squad because Barcelona has financial problems. Teams become very unbalanced every season and become very weak when there are many injured players. Xavi did everything and he continued to stand by the existing squad, even when many people did not appreciate his jobs.

A difference of 7 to 8 points is indeed difficult for Barcelona and Girona to catch up, especially if Madrid consistently plays on a winning path, perhaps there will be no chance for both of them and Madrid will have to give up winning the Laliga title this season, at least Barcelona and Girona will finish as the top four in Laliga this season. At least this season, both of them have played optimally and shown their best game to date, even though there are still several matches remaining. Expecting Madrid to experience several defeats in the next few matches is also very difficult.

Barcelona will still have difficulty catching them, let alone Girona, Madrid has the opportunity to win the Laliga title this season as well as the UCL this season, although perhaps the UCL is a tough job but they have that opportunity with a good main squad at the moment which makes them the best club. Ancelotti has of course targeted the title this season and it seems he is quite serious about this hunt by directing his team to play consistently and stay on the winning track and avoid many unnecessary defeats that will cause them to lose points.

It is very likely that Real Madrid will continue to be consistent in the remaining matches ahead, so that the points gap that has currently formed will be difficult for Girona and Barcelona to close. One of the important matches that could trouble Ancelotti squad is against Barcelona. Apart from the El Clasico match, I think Madrid will continue to progress in other matches. So far Real Madrid has only experienced one defeat against Atletico, no other contestants have been able to beat them. Even though they had difficulty winning in the previous few matches, beating Celta Vigo 4-0 was a sign that they were in their best form again.

Real Madrid is very close to the championship trophy this season, Ancelotti managed to survive various pressures even though his squad had lost several key players due to injury. Girona and Barcelona will most likely finish in the top four, regardless of second or third. In essence, the two clubs will still have difficulty overtaking Real Madrid in the future, even though they continue to be consistent, this does not necessarily mean that Real Madrid will experience setbacks.

Xavi Hernandez future with Barcelona have been over since his announced will leave his position at the end this season despite what the result success winning UEFA Champion League and La Liga tittle. Last night, after winning over Napoli on second leg match he was confirmed keep leaving his position although Barcelona win Champion League tittle. I don't know what behind of Xavi Hernandez decision want to leaves his position between bad communication with management, low budget for transferring players or Xavi Hernandez scheme not support yet by management.
Its another warning for Barcelona's management left few months later before competition ended must find the new manager for replacing Xavi Hernandez, I am so disappointed with Barcelona's management how bad communication with their manager although success won La Liga tittle last season and first time Barcelona qualified to quarter final of Champion League after failure last two season in a row.

How can they let someone like Xavi go?

I have to say that first of all, he did also spend a lot of money. but I think he has made up for that pretty well. he also brought in some players which did not make any sense for the money that he spent on them. but now as you said, he does have young players whom he could sell and actually pay off a lot of the money that Barcelona owes. I actually believe that the decision was made by Xavi himself.  Maybe he will change his decision if Barcelona can perform better and consistently. but with the bad financial situation, there is always going to be inconsistency.

So far I don't see any attempt from Barcelona management to keep him. but I guess they are figuring things out behind the scenes

Beause they are in quarterfinal, not because them playing good , was more a lucky in the groups stage in an easy one and in round of 16 they played against one of the worst Napoli in years, you can check it already, they are 8º in the serie A right now and dont have any course.

And they know this is only a breeze.

The point I want to make is that even if they think Xavi is not good enough and they will be able to bring in better coaches, the question is who are they going to bring in? Is he willing to work with a club that is broken? I do not think any good coach is actually willing to do that, not even the mediocre ones to be honest.  so Barcelona should make decisions very cleverly.

[ShowOff]

If we talk about possibilities, it really doesn't need to be said now because there are still several matches that all teams have to play, but are you sure that Real Madrid will lose in a row in the next 7 or 8 matches this season? I'm not really sure about that because the quality of Barcelona's players this season is actually not that good and there are still many shortcomings that Xavi needs to fix. Winning in the Champions League when hosting a bad team like Napoli is a very normal thing in my opinion because I am not sure Barcelona can last long in the Champions League this season.

It doesn't matter if you still believe Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid for the title but for me, I'm fully convinced and would say that Real Madrid are already assured of the La Liga trophy this season. It doesn't matter if Barcelona manage to improve their performance because after all, an 8-point gap is not a close point gap so it will obviously be difficult for Barcelona to catch Real Madrid or maybe, very unlikely. Because after all, Real Madrid is basically a team with above-average quality and thus, Real Madrid will certainly be able to consistently get good results in the remaining matches remaining until the end of the season. Saying or hoping Barcelona wins the title this season, I think it's just like an empty hope because it's impossible to happen.

Retaining the La Liga title is not impossible for Barcelona, ​​but I admit that their chances are getting lower. Real Madrid is much more consistent than Barcelona and that is the reason why Barcelona is having difficulty competing in La Liga this season. If Real Madrid loses points in several matches in the remaining season and Barcelona is able to take advantage of it well, then the title competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will happen again. It's not impossible, but it's difficult.

However, I tend to agree that Real Madrid deserved to win the La Liga title this season after they performed well from the start of the season. Barcelona is struggling with its squad and finances, so it would be a shame if Real Madrid failed to win the title this season and let Barcelona defend it.

[QueenVera]

Valencia, which is currently ranked 8th in Laliga, is certainly a good achievement and there has been progress because last season Valencia was ranked 16th and only had 42 points and in the current season Valencia is experiencing rapid progress and has achieved 40 points and of course there are still some left match Valencia will play around 11 matches and I also predict that next season Valencia will potentially continue to be better and will be able to compete with strong teams such as Madrid, Barcelona and others.

Yes, I, like you, don't pay much attention to Valencia's condition and performance, even though Valencia has made rapid progress in terms of performance and ranking in Laliga when compared to last season. Yes, when we played against Madrid, I was also starting to be surprised by the result of the match because Vinicius and his friends couldn't win the match and in the end the result was a draw with a score of 2-2.

Yes, Valencia's last match against Getafe certainly makes it difficult for us to conclude who will win in the next match against Villarreal because Villarreal's performance has improved recently and won in matches such as beating Betis and Real Sociedad, but in the match against Getafe the result was 1-1 draw. while Valencia in their last match managed to beat Getafe so I am sure that in the next match Hugo Duro and his friends will show their best performance and will win the match and I want to bet on Valencia winning.

Real Madrid faced Valencia and the result sadly was less expected to some extent. They're a good side, aiming for the La Liga title and prospect UCL champions too and they ought to have been able to live up to expectation but the game ended in a draw and for Valencia, it was a well deserved and expected result. They couldn't risk loosing to Real Madrid as it'd have jeopardized their opportunity to secure a right spot on the La Liga table. Real Madrid are just having sloppy performances in the past weeks and it's threatening to their progress this season. They sure didn't give Madrid the chance to capitalize on their weaknesses, they proved again to be very much competitive.

 The same tempo was put in their encounter against Getafe and they sure were able to secure the three points even though the goal margin was very much little. It's still something to boast of considering their efforts all time this season. Villarreal on the other hand has had quite an eventful season so far, even though their wins haven't been so consistent, but at least, it's something that's worthwhile. They aren't much of a heavy weight side in the Spanish league tho and even though they can be a threat, it's just a little amount of it. Yes they won against big Barcelona and that game result was only to motivate them better ahead of the home game against Getafe. They played host against Getafe and even though the visitors were also a competitive team, it was expected that they as the host should have what it takes more to overpower their visitors.

 But best for both teams, the game ended in a draw which I sure do know that neither of them played for that result. They both wanted a push up the table and so they had every reason to play hard to secure it all. Judging by these two teams result against Getafe, it's actually a determinant as to how their encounter with themselves would turn out. The two teams are safely in thesame range of performance no doubt and definitely they'd put up thesame level of strength when they face each other. Although Valencia all time seems to be the upper handed side but Villarreal can still comfortably counter their approaches. Fairly, the game should end in a draw but let's see how it'll be decided on the pitch.

It is okay if there are some people who believe Barcelona still has the chance to compete wit Real Madrid. They may be the fanatic fans, they won't accept that Barcelona performed very unstable currently. You are right the point gap is 8 points and it is a quite large gap, it won't be easy to shorten the point gap because Barcelona still have some big matches. In matchday 29, Barcelona will play against Atletico Madrid and they will play against Real Madrid in matchday 32. They also have the match against Girona in matchday 34. With these 3 big matches, I am sure there is a chance to lose points. Instead of shortening the point gap, it may be larger.

Real Madrid seems to have easier matches. The only big match is when they play against Barcelona in matchday 32. The match will be also held in Real Madrid home, so Real Madrid actually gets the advantage of the match. If Real Madrid can beat Barcelona, I'm sure they are very safe to be the champion in this season.

By the way, La Liga only has 9 matches left. It won't be easy to overtake 8 points gap with few matches only.

[AakZaki]

It cannot be said for sure how Barcelona will play in the upcoming matches in La Liga. But if the Barcelona team is eliminated from the competition in the Champions League, then in the upcoming matches in the La Liga, we will see more excellent performances from Barcelona. But it will be difficult for Barcelona to continue to perform consistently well in both La Liga and the Champions League.

~snip~

Maybe because many Barcelona players are injured so that it adds to Xavi's priorities which one has a better chance of getting the trophy. Although I myself do not feel sure Barcelona can. Because we see unstable statistics. In addition, competition from other big clubs seems to make Barcelona lose. It's like Man City, Liverpool. They are having a good performance in UCL and League.

[rozak]

Xavi Hernandez future with Barcelona have been over since his announced will leave his position at the end this season despite what the result success winning UEFA Champion League and La Liga tittle. Last night, after winning over Napoli on second leg match he was confirmed keep leaving his position although Barcelona win Champion League tittle.

However, Xavi's decision has already been made and he will only be under pressure if he doesn't leave the team. He came to bring a breath of fresh air and was quite successful in improving the team's performance despite the various problems experienced by Baarca.
I doubt Barca will get a better coach than Xavi at the moment. in the sense of bringing a Barcelona game that is at least better than before he arrived. especially with the financial situation which will not give the coach the freedom to create the best squad. and Xavi has proven that he can do it even within the club's limitations.

You're right. if real madrid did not win the laliga trophy this season, he will be ashamed to the team and the coach Ancelotti, but he will not happen anymore because how real madrid are performing this season, he will be very hard for xavi to get the title again this time, Real Madrid will not like to lose any point that will give Barcelona an advantage to chase them. In the league, and if Barcelona has the opportunity and close to Real Madrid, it will be very tough for Madrid to earn the title, and they have not played the second leg of the el clasico. Real Madrid is at home, and I still believe they will most likely win the match They will not let Barcelona to get the chance to defeat them at home this season.

I am seeing Girona can probably drop down to the third position in the league and Barcelona will top them in the table, Girona are not doing as before that anyone is expecting them to get the trophy this season if real madrid are playing weak games, and they have the opportunity to win the league because real madrid are playing two competitions and Girona are only focusing on Laliga, he can be an advantage for them if any of madrid players go to injury in each of the competition and he can affect them to be playing weak games to lose or draw games.

Barcelona becomes very prominent the moment they shifts points closer to Real Madrid and Girona but it's impossible for the Blaugrana to hanged on Los Blancos and Gironistes. Barcelona have fallen from the top this season, they failed to hits the key areas, meaning they sits in good position of winning average teams in league matches but they misused their chances and now they're paying the price of underestimating ratio. However Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez made everything clear and plane, he's leaving Camp Nou at the end of the season, he looks forward in pursuit of his new career.

[Weawant]

Barcelona's performance has improved recently, and since then, Barcelona has won their matches in the league, but that doesn't mean Barcelona is in the title race with Real Madrid. Real Madrid is leading Barcelona with 8 points in the La Liga table, and Barcelona cannot be consistent enough to put pressure on Real Madrid. Barcelona should first overtake Girona before thinking of winning the La Liga trophy this season. 

I still don't trust the supposed improvement I'm seeing with Barcelona, although they have in recent times try to be consistent with this new form of improvement that's been seen around their performance but then it's not looking like one that can get them to winning the la Liga again this season because Real Madrid is already far ahead on the league table which will means a serious work for Barcelona.

Even currently, Barcelona isn't at the second position on the table so it's no where close to saying they may be able to secure a chance at been able to get back to the top and they have less than fifteen weeks to the end of the league which is not much time enough for them to be able to fix the team and get back to the top so it's most definitely Madrid that will end up with the la Liga title this season. Barcelona may seem to have improved which actually isn't a bad one and they can go ahead to still make sure they maintain it and definitely get to qualify for UCL again.

Girona is very much displaceable by Barcelona if they are able to maintain their current form and get some more winning streaks they will be able to conviniently displace Girona a d climb back to the second position on the table as be firm in their stance to securing a champions league spot for next season. Realm Madrid is aswell not in a perfectly safe zone so they should maintain their point difference els they may be taken by surprise.

Barcelona is one team I thought the will make it very hard for Madrid to claim the Lalliga tittle,but how they made it so simple for Madrid is what I don't even know,and they didn't make any effort of trying to climb up and be closer to them,all they kept on doing was to lose games,which made Madrid top with lots of points.Or are they demoralized as Xavi Hernandez said he is leaving?because it shocks me how the defending champions fell so short and not even give headache to Madrid  in the tittle race.

[Jegileman]

Well there are over 7 leagues games left to play and it is too early to say that Barcelona are out of the title race in the la Liga, because in football; nothing is impossible. The question should be after Barcelona win to advance to the champions league quarter finals, can they mount a late league challenge

If we talk about possibilities, it really doesn't need to be said now because there are still several matches that all teams have to play, but are you sure that Real Madrid will lose in a row in the next 7 or 8 matches this season? I'm not really sure about that because the quality of Barcelona's players this season is actually not that good and there are still many shortcomings that Xavi needs to fix.

The point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not even about the quality of the both teams this year. If Barcelona are in their best form this season, with the point gap between them and Real Madrid, they can’t catch up with them again and this is a fact because Real Madrid will continue to be at their best for the remaining matches which seems to be likewise easy for them to win all. If Barcelona was their biggest rival this season, an head to head match that will give Barcelona a victory is not enough for them to overtake them in the first position even as the table stands now. Let Xavi fix what he needs to, but they can’t catch up for the league title again in my opinion.

Winning in the Champions League when hosting a bad team like Napoli is a very normal thing in my opinion because I am not sure Barcelona can last long in the Champions League this season.

Napoli wasn’t a poor team and Barcelona really fought to earn their victory into the next round of the competition. In the first match, we saw how Napoli performed admirably well and we all expected them to do better in the second leg which unfortunately didn’t turn out to be so. It must just be one of their bad days and also the lucky day for Barcelona to continue their winning run again. As Champions league stands now, we can’t tell the teams that can last and those that can’t last again in the competition for now.

No mate this is not true, Barcelona have had a very rough season to be honest and I think the team always passed through lots of injury cases that's one of the things that affected the form and performance of the team but on saying that Real Madrid is winning the league this season very easily I would disagree because they have had their own rough start and even had a lot of battles with Girona before finally getting to the top of the table and gapping their rivals with 10 points difference. Barcelona was out of top 4 before they improved and came back and with their recent achievements in the league and champions League right now, I think I would say it's a good one for them because they are going to be in top 4 and they have the opportunity of making it to round of 4 in the champions league if they perform well in their next game.
