La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Oneandpure]

Barcelona did not get good results in this season and they are defending La Liga title but fell to the third position with big gaps against Real Madrid and Girona. Recent weeks, it looks better as they moved closer to Girona and the latest win against Napoli in Champions League look good for them.

Xavi made that decision when things were worse than now in Barcelona but he stay or leave, he already did good things for his beloved club. Success in the last season can not be denied as Xavi had big contribution for it. He will be remembered as a legendary player and as a coach who helped Barcelona to temporarily break their bad crisis.

If Barcelona go to like semi final or final match in Champions League, will Barcelona try to convince Xavi to stay ?

Not good result? Barcelona success qualify to quarter final in Champion League for the first time after two consecutives season failure reach 16 of round. Its not over for defending La Liga tittle behind several points left from Real Madrid and Barcelona gap one points to raise 2nd standings position, bad performed in La Liga regarding with less money spending by Barcelona for signing top players, in this season Xavi Hernandez can't sign many top players and most of them recruit as loan option and free agent such as Ikay Gundogan.
 
To see Barcelona have top performed and lead top standings position Xavi Hernandez must give much money for signing top players, its can acceptable with Barcelona result so far leading 3rd standings and success qualified to quarter final in Champion League. What the large expected with team has financial trouble winning La Liga tittle without any signing top players?

I don't know from which angle you see if Barcelona don't get good results this season just because they are in the third rank?
I think, if not Xavi who is now Barcelona coach maybe we will see Barcelona far outside the top 4 of La Liga standings, but with his ability to coach and also his experience with Barcelona in the past then he knows what Barcelona must do to avoid conditions that may be worse than now.

With a modest squad and without major financial support, Xavi managed to bring Barcelona to the last 8 of the Champions League and as a club that is in a lot of trouble of course it Is an extraordinary achievement especially they did not spend as much money as Madrid, PSG and Manchester City to get into the Qquarterfinals as they are today, as for the league,  I think getting Barcelona to stay in the top flight is more than enough for Xavi, because Xavi was Aware of the limits that Barcelona have right now after the financial problems befell them.
Xavi departure from the coach was a surprise but I think it was done by Xavi because he felt maybe barcelona would be better off if it was in someone else's hands.

exactly. I like your opinion about how Barcelona is at the moment when many people say that this team is not very good while they sometimes only judge the team by the position it occupies in the standings without looking at the achievements they have achieved.
we can see from the current results that even though they are in 3rd place, that is not something bad because this season is not over yet and the most important thing is that Barcelona can still get tickets for the next season's UCL and on the one hand, Barcelona can qualify for the quarter finals, this is the result which is very extraordinary.
let's just imagine how it is possible for a team with only free players from the transfer market to achieve success in reaching the quarter finals, while the opponents they face are equal opponents who have almost the same performance, but Xavi managed to strengthen Barcelona with various strategies.
all the results that Barcelona is currently getting are very good achievements and also thanks to the help of a great coach like Xavi.

When Xavi decides to resign next season, the main concern is who will be the next successor. The financial difficulties experienced by the club certainly make it difficult for management to recruit a coach who has a big name and is skilled in leading Barcelona to win trophies next season. All new managers demand to get a budget so they can recruit the players they want.

This is what also makes me curious. I'm curious whether Barcelona will try to persuade Xavi or not. But I personally am quite sure that Xavi has made up his mind to leave Barcelona. And I'm also sure Xavi wants to try somewhere else. But the biggest problem is whether the club will be able to bring in a new coach who can produce better results than the results produced by Xavi. But because Barcelona has quite a big name, I think many famous coaches will be interested in coming to fill the bench left by Xavi at the end of the season. Even Tuchel, who reportedly will leave Bayern sooner than his contract, could also potentially be approached by Barcelona. But Tuchel often talks that he is actually more interested in clubs from the Premier League.

Well, Barcelona performed well last season compare to this season they are in third position which it was a surprised to people for them to left 5th position to this current position they are in the la Liga league table. If Barcelona can improve more in their midfield because that is where the fault is coming from not to make Barcelona consistent in their winning. Barcelona also performed some wonders in the champion league to defeated Napoli without allowed the match to enter penalty shootout and they have break a record to cross round 16 in this season, and I believe they will definitely get to final to make their manager smile more.

How is qualifying to the quarter finals a record breaking for Barcelona by defeating Napoli that is having issues in their club, and have not been consistent with their matches since the beginning of this season. Barcelona won without penalty is what we expected because Barcelona is a big club in Spain and the rival to Real Madrid. It is just that financial issues have been a challenge to the club, and injured players.

Barcelona might finish second on the table if Girona decide to drop points but if not that they will remain on the third position, and that is a good one. This is because they had difficulties of winning matches in the middle of the season, and that affected their performance which led to points drop. Girona have being busy following Barce to remain on track with the title race, and that made them to be on the second position. What matters is that Barcelona will be going to the Champions league.

The thing is that when Xavi announced his retreat, I think there has been more in the making behind the scenes than the public knows. What is the chance that Xavi out of some bad sentiment or mood would declare his retreat when he has no ace up his sleeves? I believe that he might have negotiated with another club already or that he has different plans for his future anyway. He wouldn't just give up the job without knowing what to potentially do next. I could be wrong and he did that because he was ranting on the inside, but I doubt that this is the case.

Then again, does Barcelona really lose anything when Xavi leaves the club? In my opinion he is an average coach. Maybe he can still improve in the coming years, but he is not in the same league as the best coaches in the world. He was a great strategic player, but I think he is not as good strategically as a coach.

I am curious to see how Barcelona will replace him as the number of well known coaches that would be a great fit is very small. Maybe they are trying to establish another unknown coach from their own club.

[HajiBagi]

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?

You say it well. At the moment, I see Barcelona as an ungrateful team. If Barcelona weren't, they wouldn't have said what they said to Xavi at the outset. When Xavi joined the team, he managed it to the point where the team won the Laliga league, and they said nothing negative about him. However, this season, since the team's performance hasn't been good from the start, they have blamed him, saying that he is a bad manager and doesn't deserve to be in Barcelona. Did they forget that he was the one who had helped the team win the Laliga cup when he arrived? The Barcelona team and their supporters are truly inconsiderate.

Since the start of the season, I have maintained that Xavi is not Barcelona's problem, despite some people blaming him as the manager. Did Barcelona purchase any new players during the transfer window? No, they continued to complain that they were short on cash and that many of the players they were using were ineffective. Now that Xavi has chosen to leave the team, they are praising him after realising that he was performing well and helping the team advance to the Champions League quarterfinal, If I'm Xavi, I'll stick to my word and quit the team; I won't give in to pressure from them.

Barcelona did not get good results in this season and they are defending La Liga title but fell to the third position with big gaps against Real Madrid and Girona. Recent weeks, it looks better as they moved closer to Girona and the latest win against Napoli in Champions League look good for them.

Everyone knows that Barcelona's performance this season was so bad to the extent that they were not able to do anything tangible in the league, but suddenly they started moving. I could still remember how Girona gave them a clear 4 goals to 2 in the game they played in December last year. The most painful one was Villarreal, who gave them an own goal and still gave them about 5 goals, but all was just a game, but to be sincere, their performance now is giving, and they also showcased a nice performance on Napoli in the Champions League because it also increased their dignity.
 
And again, if they are not able to win Napoli in the second leg, it will be so shameful for them that a team like Napoli should knock them out of the Champions League in the round of 16. It will be so heavy for them to endure, but they did their best and won.

Xavi made that decision when things were worse than now in Barcelona but he stay or leave, he already did good things for his beloved club. Success in the last season can not be denied as Xavi had big contribution for it. He will be remembered as a legendary player and as a coach who helped Barcelona to temporarily break their bad crisis.

If Barcelona go to like semi final or final match in Champions League, will Barcelona try to convince Xavi to stay ?

I don’t think Xavi will stay in Barcelona after this season, and it is not that clear yet that Barcelona can make it to the semifinals or even finals because the teams left in the Champions League now to play are not just weak teams but are teams that are ready to win. Let's not even talk about their opponents in the quarterfinals. They will be playing against Bayern Munich, and we all know it will not be as easy as they played against Napoli. They will have to put in more effort; if not, they will definitely lose, and already, from indications, Xavi has already done his best for Barcelona as a player and a coach, which helped boost them in all leagues. That is enough for Barcelona not to forget him as a strong player and coach who lifted the team's dignity one more time.
 

[Hanadawa]

It feels very difficult for Barcelona and Girona to get the La Liga trophy this season because of course with the performance and squad that Real Madrid currently has, it feels like winning 8 more is easy for them. Moreover, if you look at the 10 remaining matches for Real Madrid, it can be said that it is not that difficult, of these 10 matches, only Barcelona can be said to be a strong team.

When Girona had bad results in the last few matches, I had predicted that Real Madrid would win La Liga. Madrid is 6 points ahead of Girona and 7 points ahead of Barcelona. It's not a big difference but with the remaining games I think it's unlikely that Girona and Barcelona will unseat Madrid. The league has entered the end of the season and usually there is no shift for the first place team with such a big points difference. Currently, perhaps only the English league out of the top 5 European leagues has yet to determine a champion. The tight competition between Liverpool, City and Arsenal continues because there is only a difference of 1 point. So it looks like Madrid fans can start preparing for the celebration party.

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

Competition is something that is normal; even a team that is weaker than Barcelona can compete. The thing is the result, which is the outcome of the competition. When we want to talk in terms of strangeness, experience, and performance in the La Liga this season, it is obvious that Barcelona cannot compete with Real Madrid because they cannot catch Real Madrid in the table.

However, I think anybody thinking that Barcelona will win the title this season is just saying based on what he or she wishes to say, but it is obvious that is not true because I didn’t see any performance with Barcelona that will make us even hope for them to win. They are weak; they are the third in the table, so did you think Girona are going to allow Barcelona to overtake them and take their position? I don't think it will be possible.

you can not always get lucky in football and even the way Barcelona won last season was luck because Madrid was not much interested in winning the la liga they were much more interested in winning the champions league last season. they are lucky they are still in the third place there was a time they actually went second until girona took over the second position again. and real Madrid have acquired a good number of points for there self. and that is why they are not showing much concern for for girona and Barcelona again.  xavi tried for Barcelona he did well no one can actually point fingers at him for not doing Barcelona well. either they qualify for semi finals or not it is very impossible for them to win the champions league when there clubs that are better than them.

The financial situation of Barcelona at some moment didn't require an irrational spending. It required careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needed to get out of the situation fast and so they didn't n't dare trade their chances. They had eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just couldn't squeeze out that funds because it'd have led to another jeopardy. It was so sad that for the time being, they were left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team also meant a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed.

 The best thing for Barcelona was just endurance whilst finding quick means out of the situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. Well in as much as they were battled with that magnitude of setback as a team, the Spanish side still strived towards gaining good game results which also fueled their progress and performances in competitions to come. But they'll need to learn from their mistakes this season and try to set things right in the upcoming season.

 I won't say they did extremely well so far in the endeavors this season as definitely they had times of good news and good results and also times where they fell short of victory which was a negative effect to their journey so far this season. There's still a a few weeks left to the end of the season, but sadly I doubt that they can still make a wholesome difference, as Real Madrid and Girona would definitely give them a difficult time, they can also work towards staying in good shape for the UCL tournament games too and we'd see how good, well and far they'd go as weeks go by.

[hyudien]

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.

Xavi Hernandez departure at the end of the season was not the only reason Barcelona performance in La Liga was not as serious as last season, but because Xavi also did not receive full support to buy the players he wanted. Barcelona financial limitations have been the root of the problem for a long time, so even Xavi forcing himself will not make his squad ideal. Barcelona has so far been able to survive quite well rather than being below the top 5 in the standings. And with a minimal composition of players, Barcelona is trying to keep securing UCL tickets rather than having to chase Madrid, whose condition is much better and more stable in terms of players. Currently, with a difference of 8 points Barcelona will have difficulty so the best option they can pursue is to become runners up by shifting Girona above them.


In front of Barcelona there is 1 match that is quite difficult to get through, namely against Atletico Madrid. With high motivation, these two teams will definitely play a tough game and it will be difficult to predict who will be able to get the full 3 points. As usual, Atletico Madrid will play at home and this is a positive point for controlling the game.

The tight competition between Liverpool, City and Arsenal continues because there is only a difference of 1 point. So it looks like Madrid fans can start preparing for the celebration party.

It seems that Real Madrid also doesn't feel too much pressure after finding out that Girona is experiencing a decline in performance and often loses points in their matches. It is clear how enthusiastic the Los Blancos squad is to welcome their La Liga title this season and without competition with Barcelona it makes it much easier for them to win this title. But indeed, in the remaining matches, anything can still happen and Real Madrid cannot afford to waste this sizable point advantage.

I think the players must be more disciplined and their training must also be increased considering that at the end of the season they will not only face La Liga but they will also be closer to the bigger stage in the Champions League. Your energy and thoughts will definitely be used up and all of this should not have a negative impact on the mental development of the players. But when it comes to Real Madrid, they always have a way to overcome this, especially since they can always achieve an unnatural comeback victory.

This season hasn't been that good for Barcelona compared to last season, and that is still a problem to the club performance. They were able to win Napoli does not mean that they will be able to win the champions league. Napoli has declined in performance, and they have become inconsistent so I was not surprised at that result, but I never expected Napoli to accept defeat that easily.

Barcelona might not be able to put in a good performance when they meet club that is stronger than them. I am not trying to underestimate them, but they don't have the quality this season to win UCL or Laliga. Let them prepare very well for next season, it might favor them, but not this season.

Xavi has announced he will leave Barcelona after the season ends. At that time, the home team at Nou Camp was in poor form. Many people worry that Xavi's words will destroy the morale of the "Catalunya giant." However, the reality is opposite. It's easy to see that in recent matches, Xavi's students fought until their last breath. That proves they love this teacher because otherwise, they would have played superficially to push him away as soon as possible. It's clear that Xavi currently has the best thing any coach wants: trust from his students. It's easy to know that Barcelona doesn't have a solid financial foundation, but when Xavi arrived, with his reputation as a player, he helped the team achieve good results last year.

The main reason is the storm of injuries that has caused Barcelona to continuously play with a team that is not the best for most of this season. That leaves the Catalan giants without the stability to fully deploy tactical ideas. For now, they should focus on their work. Their next opponents are very difficult to deal with. The Champions League dream is not over yet, and the players need to try harder in the remaining period of the season.

Could there be a lasl-minute change? Let's wait and see if Barcelona wins the championship title. Maybe Xavi will think again.

Barcelona has been Real Madrid's eternal rival for years, it has always made it difficult for Madrod to win the Laliga title, we can even see something like last season, but it seems like this season everything has changed. Barcelona is not putting heavy pressure on Real Madrid at the top of the standings and it is Girona who are making things difficult for Madrid this season. But now Girona seems to have given up on continuing to pressure Madrid. Currently, Madrid sits comfortably at the top because the competition is no longer competitive for Madrid because the two teams below them do not have the opportunity to shift their position with their inconsistent performances.

In front of Barcelona there is 1 match that is quite difficult to get through, namely against Atletico Madrid. With high motivation, these two teams will definitely play a tough game and it will be difficult to predict who will be able to get the full 3 points. As usual, Atletico Madrid will play at home and this is a positive point for controlling the game.

I don't really expect much to happen in the game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid because firstly the two of them are in the UCL and as such won't want to exert much energy since they know they won't be able to win their domestic title anyways so they'd just play minimal football. Secondly , Barcelona are in third place in their table with 61 points passing Atletico Madrid with 6 points who have 55 and as such won't be affected much of they lose the game, only that Atletico Madrid will just reduce the point gap to three and with how lax they (Barca) can be in terms of attack, defense and even the midfield I think Atletico will take advantage of this, let's not forget how they overturned the game against Inter last night.

Girona are the biggest competitor of Real Madrid in previous months before they lost the first position to Real Madrid. However at this moment, if Girona can challenge Real Madrid, Barcelona can do it too because Girona and Barcelona now are close with each other on the ranking.

To assess their chance of catching Real Madrid, I see both teams have small opportunities to do this. Real Madrid will be careful enough next matches in La Liga and they are experienced enough to secure their current advantage.

Barcelona and Girona will have to focus on defend their position in top four, and try to get a second position at the end. It will help them to get a little bit more reward money from La Liga.
