La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[beerlover]

What Athletico Madrid facing right now is not just trouble from fifth, it is the fact that they basically gifted third place to Girona as well. They have literally three losses in five games, that alone is proof enough, even if they won just 2 of them, they would have been just 1 point behind Girona, would have made it possible for them to get that third place.

But, they are ending the season terribly, with them knocked off UCL as well, they just started on a roll that is terrible for them and I do not see how they could get any better neither to be fair. I hope that they could realize that they are going to end up with everything being better. Should be decent situation if they know what they are doing, but next season something has to change.

I was surprised when Athletico Madrid started performing poorly because even in the Champions League they play poor games against Dortmund for the second leg when we thought that Athletico Madrid will qualify to the semi-finals and face PSg but they fail to do so, Athletico will just end up in the fourth position in the league but is not too bad because they will still play big competition next season, starting the season Athletico Madrid perform very well and even defeated Real madrid, and I think they will probably win the league but they fail to do so. They are even struggling to finish in fourth place; their next match is against Athletic Club, which they must win in order to finish fourth and qualify for the Champions League next season. They need to win or draw the game to remain in fourth place in the league rankings.

They must definitely win 3 points against Athletic Bilbao. Simeone is aware of this, but Athletic Bilbao is a very tough opponent. They are doing great this year and they have the power to beat Atletico Madrid. With the defeat of Alaves, faces fell on the Madrid front. Now their only goal is to get fourth place, which will be in the UCL. If they cannot achieve this, this year may be the end of the road for Simeone.

Real Madrid is currently running for the championship in both the league and the UCL. While watching the Manchester City match, I thought they would be eliminated, but I was wrong, they managed to resist with a great game and managed to advance to the round with penalties. I think Real will eliminate Bayern and become champions in the final. I think this year will be Ancelotti's year.

Real Madrid dramatically qualified for the Champions League semifinals this season after eliminating Manchester City on penalties. I really didn't expect that to happen, especially when Manchester City was the favorite to win the second leg. Manchester City, who played at home, dominated the match and also scored opportunities, but because many goal opportunities failed, Manchester City had to suffer the worst consequences and lost.

Of course there is a possibility for Real Madrid to qualify for the final by eliminating Bayern Munich. However, it is still difficult to say that this will become a reality because Bayern Munich also has the ambition to win a ticket to the final when they are already on the right track by eliminating Arsenal. This match is really tough, but Real Madrid is favored with a lot of experience and titles.

However, it is still difficult to say that this will become a reality because Bayern Munich also has the ambition to win a ticket to the final when they are already on the right track by eliminating Arsenal. This match is really tough, but Real Madrid is favored with a lot of experience and titles.

When I saw Real Madrid's performance in beating last season's UCL title holders, Man City, it made me believe again that Real Madrid should also be able to beat Bayern Munich. In this case, Bayern is indeed strong, it cannot be denied that they are a strong team. However, their strength is not completely equal, like Man City has where their strength is evenly distributed across all lines. Because of that, I am sure that Ancelotti can create a strategy that can control and handle Bayern Munich well. And win the UCL trophy again later. It will be an interesting too if we see Real Madrid will be in the final with PSG.

[Raflesia]

Girona's current situation is still uncertain especially with the current performance declining, it will be difficult if in the remaining 6 matches now it will be favorable for them especially if you look at the schedule that will be implemented Barcelona and Girona will still meet so that it can be a determination of who will deserve to be in position 2 at the end of the season.

In terms of quality even though for the first match Barcelona lost to Girona but still they are still the favorites and Girona will only be in the third position option for this season but indeed if the impressive performance can return Girona get then indeed there could be a chance to win again against Barcelona for the match later but clearly I still feel for position 2 it is still held by Barcelona and position 3 belongs to Girona because it has also become a good thing for Girona.

I guarantee that not many users would bet on Girona winning if they didn't get a double chance. Girona winning or drawing is the most desired opportunity to minimize losses, but in fact Barcelona is the favorite team to win the match.

Losing 3-2 to Real Madrid in the El Clasico match is not the reason why Barcelona should be underestimated. Barcelona was able to show a good game against Real Madrid and they tried hard to get a win, but their concentration in the final minutes was the cause of defeat even though the chance of a draw was greater at that time. Girona won against Barcelona in the previous match, but it will not be a guarantee to win the next match.

With Girona's condition currently uncertain, no one is betting on them quite reasonably because seeing from the conditions it is difficult actually for Girona to be used as a favorite in the match especially when facing bigger opponents even though Barcelona is now in a mentally declining condition due to the loss of momentum to get the Champions League and La Liga trophies but still they are bigger than Girona.
But indeed for the next few matches for Girona when facing Las Palmas it can still be used as a bet and indeed it can also be used as a whip for Girona in order to get the chance and mentality when facing Barcelona later.

I think Real will eliminate Bayern and become champions in the final. I think this year will be Ancelotti's year.

From the start when facing Manchester City any club would be in doubt including Madrid because after all if you look at the performance and play on the field then indeed Manchester City is a real big candidate but in the end things like that lose with mental and hard work.

Manchester City are indeed a good club but Madrid are Champions League regulars and within them there is a champion DNA that is difficult to break other clubs, besides that their fans are also quite militant where for Leg 2 even though it played at the Etihad but it was Madrid's chants that echoed and we could hear it even on the screen but the enthusiasm of Madrid fans at the stadium was still so pronounced and that indirectly made Madrid's mentality increase in the end.
At the moment the championship chance is still there but the semi-finals will not be easy because we know PSG's style of play is almost the same as Madrid, especially when looking at PSG's mission now they are not only eyeing the championship, of course they want to do a revenge mission against Madrid.

Losing 3-2 to Real Madrid in the El Clasico match is not the reason why Barcelona should be underestimated. Barcelona was able to show a good game against Real Madrid and they tried hard to get a win, but their concentration in the final minutes was the cause of defeat even though the chance of a draw was greater at that time. Girona won against Barcelona in the previous match, but it will not be a guarantee to win the next match.

Yeah I agree with you, Barcelona cannot be written off just because they lost the first leg against Girona or lost against Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona’s first leg was at a time when Barcelona had defensive issues and I think the coach Xavi was making a lot of mistakes while experimenting on so many tactics and his substitutions in that match did not help. If Barcelona will play like they did against Madrid in the El Classico, they’re definitely going to win and they wouldn’t like to be defeated twice by Girona this season. I will bet on Barcelona winning the second leg and finishing second ahead of Girona.

[QueenVera]

Both teams lost the opportunity to get 3 points this week from weak teams who are actually below their level, next week's match will of course be a decisive match for Atletico Madrid and athletic bilbao for who has the right to stay and compete in the top 4 this week, both teams currently have a difference of 3 points and Atletico Madrid who are in rank 4 certainly do not want their position to be threatened by Atletic Bilbao who Being ranked 5th at the moment, Atletico Madrid must win the match in order to stay away from Atletico Bilbao as well as Atletic Bilbao must win to be able to level points with Atletico Madrid who currently have 61 points so that if Atletico Bilbao wins they will only be at goals difference to determine a place in the top 4.

The competition for the last 1 ticket to the Champions League next season is certainly the Most exciting in my opinion, because the two teams currently competing are required to no longer be able to lose points in order to maintain their chances of going to the Champions League, although there may indeed be an additional Champions League slot for La Liga teams if later Madrid can win the Champions League and also at the same time end the season in the 1st level of La Liga standing,  But I don't think it will dampen the tension between Atletico Madrid and Atletic Bilbao at the moment.

Both Atletico Madrid and Atletic Bilbao couldn't put up a proper game performance in their last league games respectively and it meant amd made them go short of points which makes their next game against themselves be more challenging as they won't really have an easy access to the top spot.

 This season have been a very unusual one for the teams as they experienced a number of challenging and surprising encounters especially from upcoming teams. When they both face themselves this weekend, it'll be a battle for the UCL ticket as both teams have a 3point battle that'll matter in their advancements. Now we'd consider the capacity of each of their performance rates and hence let it be part of the determinants of who the victor may be but it's really beyond that.

 Yes Madrid may seem to be a bit greater in skill set and what they portray but do not doubt that Bilbao are also increasingly giving the best act on the pitch which has therefore gotten them to where they are now. Winning the ticket will be blissful for Bilbao as it'll mean more to them thesame way it'll mean more to Madrid but they both have to make the decision on the pitch.

Because of that, I am sure that Ancelotti can create a strategy that can control and handle Bayern Munich well. And win the UCL trophy again later. It will be an interesting too if we see Real Madrid will be in the final with PSG.

Sometimes it may actually be out of place to judge a team by their performance against another because it may not be that performance that will guarantee future performance asw e can't tell what circumstances may be present on the day of subsequent games  which may influence their results. When  a team performs better at a team they actually tens to instill fear and cautiousness in their subsequent opponent.

Real Madrid has gotten a track record of success been recorded in the champions league and there's actually no doubts about that but then it still doesn't tell in the fact that it's a guarantee that they will win Bayern Munich, a critical examination into the strength of both team and you will find out that they are having some kind of matching strength at some point in that Madrid has gotten this good depth a d that of Bayern Munich isn't poor either, then looking at their tactical approach, you will see aswell that they both have a good attacking approach that keeps their opponent on their toes.

If Bayern Munich hoes all in on attack then Real Madrid will have to be careful els they will cancel in on all their goals they are going to score but i have some good levels of optimism will with Madrid even if they both share almost same level experience in the champions league they have both played so far and i believe that Madrid will be able to utilize every chance they get but they should be weary of the fact that Bayern Munich isn't na weak team.

After much insistence, it seems that the president of Barcelona finally won and managed to convince Xavi to stay at Barcelona for another season, probably what must have made Xavi change his decision, it was the last games he played with PSG and Real Madrid in both games the referee made suspicious decisions, in any case I hope xavi can win the league next season

Xavi will 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 as Barça manager next season accepting the final proposal!

The decision has been made after discussing with president Laporta and director Deco earlier tonight.

Barcelona president insisted for months to keep Xavi changing his mind and the agreement is now sealed.

Club decided to consider other options only in case Xavi was confirming his plan to leave, now staying.

this season barcelona played 32 games and won 21 games, while real madrid played 32 games and won 25 games. So we see that there is no big difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Xavi is a good coach, Barcelona's biggest problem this season is in defense. we just need to see that in 32 games Barcelona conceded 37 goals, while Real Madrid conceded 22 goals in 32 games. Last season Barcelona won the league because they had a good defense, they ended the season with less than 20 goals conceded if memory serves me correctly. Congratulations to the president of Barcelona and to Xavi for agreeing to continue at Barcelona, he is doing a good job

[TelolettOm]

Sorry, dude. but, I'm so happy with this result.  
Indeed, the match was so intense, Jude Bellingham really changed the result of the match suddenly in the stoppage. That's really awesome. he's so cool.

The current performance of Real Madrid players that we can see is really interesting. At any time Madrid players can change their style of play and change the outcome of the game. We saw a similar performance against Barcelona, with Jude Bellingham's superb goal giving Madrid the win. After 90+1 minutes, the Madrid team left the field with the result of the match and they are currently much ahead of the La Liga points table. Although I'm a Madrid fan, I'm also very happy to see such a great win against Barcelona. It was cool that Jude Bellingham changed the outcome of the match in such a short time it was a really interesting match. However, the way Real Madrid have been playing this season and the way coach Ancelotti has been working with his boys will surely do enough for them to win the La Liga and Champions League titles.

Surely, both real Madrid and Barcelona have done their best in this match. And Real Madrid also deserved this victory.
For some reason, Real Madrid can often really turn things around in the last minutes of the match. For this reason, whoever your opponent is, you need to always be alert until the final whistle is blown. In this case, El Clasico is always thrilling and makes people curious about who will win it. However, in the last 2 matches this season, Real Madrid did better and were better prepared. And of course, the hope is for Real Madrid to not only win the La Liga trophy, but also the Champions League trophy this season.

After much insistence, it seems that the president of Barcelona finally won and managed to convince Xavi to stay at Barcelona for another season, probably what must have made Xavi change his decision, it was the last games he played with PSG and Real Madrid in both games the referee made suspicious decisions, in any case I hope xavi can win the league next season

Finally they did it.
Keeping Xavi is the right decision for Barcelona. Because it is Xavi who so far has the greatest potential and is able to manage the club from downturn. No coach or football manager is perfect, but Xavi did it better. even if they lose Xavi, who knows who can do as well as the Xavi Barcelona can get for now.

And Xavi's decision to want to stay at Barcelona is also very worthy of appreciation. because after all, we got to see how disappointed and depressed he was. However, in the end, Xavi was able to control himself and make peace with everyone. It certainly won't be easy for him to decide to finally stay at Barcelona, at least until 2025. But this decision is quite proud.

This is a great news for Barcelona, because I believe that they can't find a better manager than Xavi who knows very well the club culture, philosophy and has emotional bond to the club. he has proved himself to be a good coach with a league title in his first season, despite having financial problem that made the club couldn't provide a proper backing for him. This season is unfortunate for Xavi to lose Busquet, because Busquet was a big help for Xavi on and off the pitch with his experience and tactical aspects. I believe the vulnerable defense this season has anything to do with the absence of Busquet to cover the defense line.

Laporta should give Xavi a good backing to prepare his tactical plan for next season. They need to sign a good striker and also strengthen other positions. They also need to pay attention to their medical department which needs to improve their effort to avoid players getting unnecessary injuries, because it is the biggest reason for the failure this season.

Yeah these 2 teams missed points in the last few games even though we know they are in a race to win a ticket to the Champions League next season, Athletic Bilbao is 3 points behind at the moment they should have been able to take advantage when Atletico Madrid was defeated by Alaves but unfortunately no, Bilbao only played a draw against Granada. I doubt Bilbao can catch Atletico Madrid in the remaining 6 matches unless Bilbao can beat Atletico in the upcoming match on April 28 and the problem is that Atletico Madrid will play at home is certainly very difficult to beat them when playing at home moreover, lately Atletico Madrid is starting to be consistent by winning a few matches.

Real Madrid is currently running for the championship in both the league and the UCL. While watching the Manchester City match, I thought they would be eliminated, but I was wrong, they managed to resist with a great game and managed to advance to the round with penalties. I think Real will eliminate Bayern and become champions in the final. I think this year will be Ancelotti's year.

Yes, as a strong team in La Liga, Real Madrid really showed its prowess, but Manchester City, which is a strong team in the EPL, had to swallow the bitter pill because it failed to advance to the semifinals.

The achievements achieved by Real Madrid are certainly very good this season, yes of course I personally think that Real Madrid has great potential to become champions in Laliga, but of course in the Champions League we won't know who will be champions because the current team a strong team. . However, many people are favorites for Real Madrid to become champions in the UCL because Real Madrid successfully beat last season's UCL champions, namely Manchester City. Yes, when Real Madrid plays Bayern, of course there is great potential for Real Madrid to win, but of course it won't be easy to beat Bayern.

It seems that in Laliga, Vinicius and his friends will have the potential to win trophies this season because the number of points they have obtained is certainly very different from Girona and Barcelona. Yes, I personally also hope that Ancelotti can make Real Madrid even greater because of course the matches in Laliga are not finished yet, of course there are still teams that must be played against, as well as in the UCL.

They also need to pay attention to their medical department which needs to improve their effort to avoid players getting unnecessary injuries, because it is the biggest reason for the failure this season.

Xavi has led Barca since November 2021, helping the "Catalan giant" win La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup in the 2022/23 season. After 137 matches in all competitions, Xavi achieved a win rate of 62.04% (85 wins, 24 draws, 28 losses). This is a very impressive number, given the team's current situation. After Xavi's departure announcement, Barca played much better. The team's leadership also tried to find a replacement for him, but they realized that no one was more suitable for the team than the legendary Xavi.

I see one of the significant obstacles Xavi faces in staying: he wants to have new contracts this summer to strengthen the squad. But Barca have ruled out signing big names and it seems any transfer could be difficult due to their unclear financial situation. This could be another difficult season for Xavi. I think this will be the wrong decision for Xavi to continue to stay. Then, the fans and the management team will blame Xavi if the team cannot perform well next season. Because that is the nature and burden of a coach, no matter where the cause comes from, they blame the leader.

[Solokan]

I read the news and I was surprised and happy because Xavi will continue to coach Barcelona until the end of next season.
This is the news source that I read.

seems Joan Laporta has succeeded in getting Xavi to continue coaching the Barcelona team again and I think what Laporta has done is a good thing because I think Barcelona really needs Xavi and with this news I agree with what Laporta is doing.

I think in the next season Xavi will definitely try to make Barcelona better and maybe next season Barcelona can reach 1st place in Laliga. and to be honest, I also think that if Xavi leaves Barcelona at the end of this season, I personally will be worried about Barcelona's performance next season. However, by not leaving Xavi, of course I think this will have a good impact on Barcelona and the Barcelona players will certainly not be awkward anymore.

What do you think about Xavi not leaving Barcelona? Are you sure that Xavi Not leaving will make Barcelona better next season?

But this decision is quite proud.

With the financial conditions that Barcelona is currently experiencing, it is the right decision to retain Xavi as coach. Because of course it will be difficult to find a new Barcelona coach who suits the players' playing style and also suits Barcelona's current finances. So this news will certainly feel very positive for Barcelona and also the fans who want Xavi to continue coaching at Barcelona. And for Barcelona players too, this news will certainly be very happy. The reason is that of course no one thought that Xavi would give up his intention to leave Barcelona, ​​after receiving the heavy pressure that Xavi experienced from Barcelona fans. The reason is, in almost all football news media, it is reported that Xavi will leave Barcelona at the end of this season. So most people who read the news will believe it. The reason is, the reason Xavi wants to leave Barcelona is quite reasonable, namely because Barcelona fans think he is not suitable to coach Barcelona.

However, it seems that management at Barcelona has succeeded in convincing Xavi so that Xavi is willing to continue coaching Barcelona.
And I am sure this will have a very good impact on Barcelona's progress in the coming season. The reason is, next season, Xavi has many things he can learn from this season to make Barcelona shine even more in European football. So I will be really looking forward to this upcoming season.

[Hirose UK]

VAR is still being judged by humans, which is why it still leaves a lot of problems in many football matches. For the club that is disadvantaged, of course it is very annoying, but the opposite is true for the club that benefits.

Maybe it is like that, because I also feel that the result is already determined and only the referee and the person involved will be punished. Points will remain the same and the match will not be repeated. But it was still Barcelona's loss.

Whatever happens, the referee is still the leader in the course of a match and VAR is an artificial tool that can help the referee to see footage of particular incident during the match, after all, VAR is tool that has been authorized by FIFA.
When the result has been decided, whatever the team at loss like Barcelona will do will not affect anything and rematch will never take place.
Problems like this often occur in various leagues and competitions, but the final solution will never be as expected by those who suffer losses.
So basically whatever efforts the Barcelona president makes will not change anything.

Talking about Lamine Yamal, Barcelona must be prepared to lose this talented young player because it is reported that PSG has prepared fantastic funds to buy this player.

Regarding Yamal, he is Barcelona's best asset should he stay. Remember there is a release clause that is quite expensive for Yamal if not mistaken €1 billion. If Yamal leaves, it will make Barcelona even weaker.

Of course Lamine Yamal is valuable asset for Barcelona because he is still very young and has quite great talent, he really has great potential and this is why Barcelona uses him quite often as an important player.
Although he is not the only player who can join big team at very young age.
By the way, PSG seems to be still trying to bring in Lamine Yamal and PSG is preparing 200 million euros to be able to get Lamine Yamal.

Of course there is a possibility for Real Madrid to qualify for the final by eliminating Bayern Munich. However, it is still difficult to say that this will become a reality because Bayern Munich also has the ambition to win a ticket to the final when they are already on the right track by eliminating Arsenal. This match is really tough, but Real Madrid is favored with a lot of experience and titles.

When I saw Real Madrid's performance in beating last season's UCL title holders, Man City, it made me believe again that Real Madrid should also be able to beat Bayern Munich.

Because of that, I am sure that Ancelotti can create a strategy that can control and handle Bayern Munich well. And win the UCL trophy again later. It will be an interesting too if we see Real Madrid will be in the final with PSG.

Although the probability of Bayern Munich beating Real Madrid seems like 50%, this rate becomes 70/30 when we consider the team differences and the situation during the season. Real Madrid will advance to the next round, it's almost certain. However, the Atalanta - Liverpool match showed us that there is nothing certain in football. A team that reaches the semi-finals is very strong, that's for sure.
