La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Palakka]

I was surprised by this news, because previously it was that Xavi and Barcelona would still work together next season and now I read the news that Barcelona has reached an agreement with their new coach, and that means Xavi's position will be replaced. Yes, I also think this is a hall that is not fair enough for Xavi, because he can still provide something good for Barcelona amidst the problems that Barcelona is experiencing and even he didn't get full support from management when the transfer market came.

But I hope this decision is not the wrong decision, hopefully their new coach will indeed bring good changes to Barcelona and better than what Xavi can give them. However, if it turns out that their decision was wrong, then I hope that no one will be scapegoated by Barcelona, because this is a decision in the middle of a choice that I don't think is too difficult for them to choose.

After Xavi remarks that angered Laporta after the match against Rayo Volcano, Laporta immediately took a stand want  to sack Xavi despite Barcelona previous pleas asking Xavi to stay after Xavi decided to step down from his post at the end of this season, now it is reported that Barcelona have decided to sack Xavi because him considered to tarnish the value of the value that exists at the club, so it is quite surprising if just these words are now Laporta Intend to sack Xavi even though Barcelona financial condition is in a difficult state.

Reportedly at this time Barcelona have sent deco to talk to Hansi Flick, so I think indeed we are just waiting for time to see the official announcement about Xavi's dismissal and also the appointment of Hansi Flick officially announced by Barcelona, to be honest, if Barcelona sack Xavi, of course it will be a big mistake from Laporta, because in my opinion for now Xavi is able to lift Barcelona performance even in difficult financial conditions and no matter how great Barcelona new coach will of course find it difficult to do what Xavi is currently doing at Barcelona.

Barcelona may be struggling, but dont write them off. Since they won the league last season, they still have quality players. However, their finances scare me. They've been suffering in that area, and if the allegations are accurate about them selling players, that could affect their prospects next season. Real Madrid, however, appear more steady. They will always be a force, and if they can add additional firepower to their roster, Barcelona may have their job cut out for them.

Next season will not be easy enough for Barcelona if their problems are financial, because a team experiencing financial problems will find it very difficult to become strong. Moreover, if its closest competitors continue to add strength through new players who will be purchased in the transfer market later, it is clear that this will remain a very real obstacle for Barcelona to recover from their failure this season. Even though this season Barcelona is also in the runner-up position in the La Liga standings.

The La Liga is technically over already.    Because there is no competition left for any target. There won't be any change in top 7 no matter what the results of the final week are. When it comes to the relegation zone the teams to relegate are also official: Cadiz, Granada and Almeria. Therefore the remaining games are only formality.

Big congratulations to Girona once again! They fully deserved the third position after all that high effort. They actually beat Barcelona by the same score (4-2) twice but they are finishing behind them. It is due to some complacency on the recent weeks of course.    I can't wait to watch them in the Champions League.

After Girona beat Barcelona with a score of 4-2, I thought they would be able to wipe out their remaining 3 matches with a win because successfully winning against Barcelona is certainly very good for the morale of the players and it can boost their enthusiasm to get victory in the remaining matches. But it's a shame they couldn't make better use of that opportunity, Instead of getting a win, they could only draw against Deportivo Alaves and even lose against Villareal. After all, 3rd position is not a bad achievement for Girona, at least it will give them a stage to play in the Champions League next season.

I agree with you, as long as they still have financial problems, during that time they will always have difficulties which ultimately prevent them from being able to maximize their season. They must first solve their problems, if they want to restore the identity they have lost in the last few seasons.
This season is not that they are not good, but there are weaknesses that they cannot cover so that makes it difficult for them, and in my opinion whoever becomes their coach, they will have the same difficulties because their problems are the same every season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has good finances, their management can manage their finances well so that they can maximize when they get the opportunity. Barcelona should not be embarrassed to learn financial management from their rivals, because they can learn from anyone, including rival teams.

It’s good that it’s over, otherwise it was funny when first the news came out that Xavi was leaving and then a little later that he was staying, etc. round.
Insiders report that Flick will be the new head coach. But I think the important thing is not who will coach, but how Barcelona prepares for the new season in terms of players, I doubt that the current squad will be able to compete with Real.

[Hvdv]

Because they have won the Laliga title with poor financial conditions, there is actually a chance for them to repeat that because it turns out it doesn't affect their performance in a certain period and it could be because of their coach, but if this season fails, it's very possible that it won't be entirely because of bad financial conditions faced but also because their arch rival Real Madrid experienced very rapid development beyond expectations even though their main striker decided to leave the club and at that time Real Madrid was in doubt because they only brought in Joselu apart from Jude Bellingham but it turned out that extraordinary developments occurred at Real Madrid including Girona who beat Barcelona twice this season so it looks like Barcelona is experiencing a decline, but next season all teams start from the beginning and the ones who are prepared well will win the title.

La Liga is probably meant for the surviving clubs and we know them to be Real Madrid and Barcelona. They've always been the top trends in Spain with regards to their stellar performance in matches and not also relentint in other top tournaments. Real Madrid happens to be one of the competitive club and they've always keen on making huge differences. Real Madrid energy was unmatchable this season because they have everything in their possession to carry the La Liga trophy and treble is next target for them. Barcelona, Girona and Atletico Madrid failed in their obligations to equal points with Los Blancos this season, however we've witnessed the top run for Real Madrid.

The goal of 3 cups is not a very distant goal for Real Madrid. The players are very good this year and they ensured the elimination of their toughest rivals, Manchester City. Dortmund is not in their class. There may also be a possibility of elimination. Although Real Madrid is the favorite in the UCL final, they should never underestimate Dortmund. We have seen in the last matches in La Liga that even the team consisting of substitute players scores a lot of goals in the matches. For now, they present the image of a team that has no problems scoring goals.

It is due to some complacency on the recent weeks of course.    I can't wait to watch them in the Champions League.

There is nothing remaining in this season, and Real Madrid has already won the trophy. I don't think there is any other game remaining in La Liga there are no more adjustments to be made. Even in the final week, nothing will change because everyone already understands their beliefs. The three clubs are undoubtedly going to be relegated. and Madrid's chances of taking home the Champions League were strong.  and things are surprising because who would expect Girona not to make it to the second place? I feel Girona should have done more because I remember at some point they were dragging points with Real Madrid. and next season Girona might have a chance next season. but I feel next season is going to be tough because of the way Girona has thirsted for victory so they will want to get to that top at all costs, I see some other clubs coming up so next season is going to be hot. and they have a good prospect next season coming from next season.

[QueenVera]

There is no other choice now if they really want the conditions to remain the same where Madrid can continue to dominate the midfield then indeed they must find a successor for Kroos who has indeed decided to take a break forever in the professional football career he has run.

Although his current juniors in midfield such as Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouameni and even talented youngsters such as Arda are ready to fill the midfield position, there is still a gap where the absence of Kroos could have an impact on the supply of the ball because we know that Camavinga and Valverde are fighter-type midfielders which is different from Kroos who is a groove maker with a direct pass that we no longer need to doubt his abilities.

I think Madrid can find some players as coatings so that losing Kroos next season will not affect Madrid's midfield too much.

Real Madrid's midfield was and still is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too. They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further.

 This makes it sad that Kroos would be exiting the team. He's been an immense support to the team's major successes. Of all times with the team, regardless of the situation, he's always had a way to pull out a string from the toughness to be in a more comfortable form for the squad. He's had beautiful moves made, good encounters, assists and goals with the team. We can't exhaust all his right deeds for the Spanish side even if we wish to list them on and on. He's a special part of the team too.
 
 The squad has been groomed to adapt to core changes and absences too. Yes, his exit will be felt but definitely there's always a young player ready to take in the mantle. He's passed on to the younger midfields good abilities and techniques and for me that's actually what the team needs to keep going. He also would miss the team due to lots and lots of feat he's attained with them but the journey for exploration still continues to give room for rising stars. Good luck to him too.

Exactly we need players to support our forwards and part of our midfields...
Coach is just a partial problem if there are no capable players  then it will be hard to tell if the coach is doing a perfect job or not, even if there are capable players  then they need to instigate unity among themselves  because  without unity they will still continue to lose their games.

Yaah, the La Liga season is basically over.
The teams that are going to participate in the Champions League have already been decided,
the teams that will play in the Europa League have also been decided.
The teams that are going to get relegated have also been confirmed and
at the same time, the teams that are going to play in the Europa Conference League qualifier have also been confirmed.

Nobody is going to change places. Teams that are in these certain positions are also not going to change positions between themselves as well. Because only one match is left and the point difference between these teams are more than three with each other.

So the La Liga season is basically over. I am a little disappointed to see Girona finish in the third position. They had the potential to actually finish on the second ahead of Barcelona. But they had fallen off a little towards the end of the season. I do hope though that they will be able to keep performing well in the next season.

[Volgastallion]

What a shit to reach the las round without any to compete,so we are gonna only see the amtches and the players are not gonna play at 100% i think.

The bad thing of this is in this season along the main 5 leagues of europe this happens in most of them, only the serie A remains with only 1 spot for relegations to become decided.

Poor Cadiz who was nearby to make a miracle an be try to fight until the last round.

[Adams0001]

There are several players whose performance may decline due to age and I think those who are old enough can be sold and bought new players, at least young players who have more ability and have the potential to be able to play in the main squad at Barcelona, after all the competition is very tight in Next season, if we continue to play experienced players, it won't be enough because stamina and performance are necessary, especially since league matches are also quite time-consuming, having young players will be good enough to maintain consistency.

But I don't know whether Barcelona has enough money to buy new players and sell their players, even though we know they are in a financial crisis, I am not a Barcelona supporter but what I see is that Barcelona should have lots of young players to fill the main squad so they can compete in the season. in the future and Xavi can rotate each of his players so that he can continue to maintain consistency next season, at least winning the Laliga title is already a good achievement, let alone the UCL which is certainly not an easy competition to overcome.

It is true, selling players who are old and no longer have an important role could be Barcelona's choice in the upcoming transfer market. But the problem is, Barcelona currently doesn't have many old players, maybe only Lewandowski, Ter Stegen, Oreul Romeu and Gundogan are old enough. Apart from all that, these four players have a very important role in Barcelona, ​​in essence these four players can be said to be the pillars of Barcelona at the moment. So if, for example, Barcelona sells these players, then Barcelona buys young players, I believe it is very likely that Barcelona's performance will decline much further next season. Because young players definitely need a long adaptation period to be able to unleash their abilities.

Apart from that, what I know is that currently Barcelona has more young players and I think these young players are quite talented. Examples Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Roque, and Joao Felix. All of these players are future assets that Barcelona has, that's why I say Barcelona doesn't need to buy any more players next season. The reason is that currently Barcelona already has quite talented players. So that way, Barcelona can save a little in spending money.

With Barcelona's performance this season, you can see that they need to make changes in the team because their performance has been bad, prompting them to fire Xavi and hire a new coach. The old players you mentioned, such as Lewandowski and Gundogan, are not in their best form anymore. The worst part is that Lewandowski is already a weak striker who can't do what he used to do. They need to get a young player to replace him. Even if they didn't sell him, he should stay, but he won't be playing 90 minutes again. They should change with the new striker they buy if they bought new young players because I am very sure they need to be a change. Since they have hired a new coach, he can state that he is unable to play with some of the players on the squad and would like to add some players. If a young player is good and gifted, he does not need to spend time proving himself, before catching up with the rest of the team.

When Gular arrived at Real Madrid as a young player, he did't wasted little time in scoring goals for the club, and all of the fans and players began to adore him, proving that if you are good, you are already good, it is not necessary to invest time before you can begin performing in the team. If a club keeps old players in a team, it will be a very difficult season for them; they must keep young players who can play the full 90 minutes; Barcelona is a large club, and they must make a change or they will continue to do poorly in the league. And champions next season will be very touch, he won't be like this season, they have made many changes in the competition and barcelona need to be tight and do well and if they is not new players am very sure nothing they will do next season.

Real Madrid has the potential to add another title this season. After successfully winning La Liga, they are now aiming for their 15th Champions League trophy again. If you look at the opponents they are facing, Madrid has quite a big chance, but Dortmund must still be respected even though they are not the favorites. If they successfully win the Champions League, El Real will again have the opportunity to add other titles such as the European Super Cup and Club World Cup. I really believe that will happen.

Most people believe that Real Madrid can win the Champions League title, but the problem is that Dortmund cannot be underestimated, even though they don't have great strikers, Dortmund's defense is very strong and we also have to look deeper from a physical perspective. Dortmund has advantages and if Dortmund's playing pattern If they can imitate what Atalanta did when they beat Leverkusen, Real Madrid will definitely have a hard time.
From this conversation I support Real Madrid to win but I will never doubt Dortmund's performance which can turn the situation around into a very surprising one.

In the upcoming match, Real Madrid will not be under too much pressure even though they are not taking Dortmund lightly, but Ancelotti admits that it is easy to break through Dortmund's defense and only requires a little strategy.
There is no need to doubt that Real Madrid's defense is still very strong, so Real Madrid only needs to strategize how to continue attacking to get an early score and after that defend to get a superior score until the end of the match.
Hopefully this match will not end in a draw, which will give Dortmund a bigger chance.

[Alpha Marine]

Recently, there's been some secret disagreement between Xavi Hernandez and the Barcelona president and that was the reason the club decided to sack him and announce his replacement immediately. I think it's a total disrespect to Xavi Hernandez by the club management to try convince him to stay back when they know they'll still sack him.

Here's what I think about the whole issue.
Barcelona is not in good place financially, so they knew that firing Xavi and hiring a new coach would be expensive for them, so I believe they were exploiting means to afford to let Xavi go and also afford a new top coach but they couldn't put all their eggs in one basket. They couldn't let Xavi go when they're not sure of a replacement or even sure if they can afford the replacement and afford Xavi's sacking, so what did they do? They convinced Xavi to stay. This way if they can't afford a new coach, Xavi stays, if they can afford a new coach, they fire Xavi. They had a fail safe and it turns out in the end Xavi got sacked and Flick was hired.

I feel bad for Xavi for been sacked in this way, but I can't blame Barcelona for doing what they did. Hard choices have to be made. They have to protect the interest of the club first before any other. Also, Xavi wasn't impressive this season so sacking him is not the worst of decisions.

From this conversation I support Real Madrid to win but I will never doubt Dortmund's performance which can turn the situation around into a very surprising one.

Even though Bayer Leverkusen has had big surprises this season but still, we cannot equate the quality of Bayer Leverkusen with Real Madrid because of course they are very different. Because after all, Bayer Leverkusen is also relatively new to playing in the final while regarding Real Madrid, of course Real Madrid is not just playing in the final because Real Madrid is also the team that has won the most trophies. After all, even though you think Dortmund might be able to do like Atalanta did, but in the end you also still choose Real Madrid to win. Because it is clear, there is certainly no need to doubt about the quality of Real Madrid, although we do not underestimate Dortmund, but Real Madrid still has a very good chance of winning in the final match.

[jaberwock]

Every clubs have challenges they're facing and looking forward to resolving them. Financial problems could with compromising positions and Barcelona is popularly recognized based on the heavy debts tagged on their name. Xavi Hernandez failed to dominate this season and thereby leading Barcelona out of the glorious path he paved for them the previous season. Barcelona have been through alot lately and their challenges can't be merely won but it comes with consistency in their peak performance.

Barcelona will only be able to show new performance next season if they have found more ways to improve that they need at the moment. Because if the team still has internal problems and the debt is still not settled, of course it will still be quite difficult for Barcelona to produce a brilliant performance next season. Because this season this has really been seen in the La Liga championship so Barcelona still needs new things that can solve the problems they are currently facing.

I think they are going to find a great improvement. The other day I checked if they could just get rid of all the big names and can build an eleven just from their own players, and they could. They have nearly 7 great players who are capable of starting and they would not be all that smart if they kept using players who are all under 20 years old, but they are getting there with some of the players. Plus they have Gavi and Pedri who are doing alright, sure not as expected but not terrible neither.

I think if they get rid of the high paid players, like Ilkay and De Jong and Raphipha and Lewandowski, just get rid of these four then I am sure that they could get a few more good players instead that could really help the team next season.

I feel bad for Xavi for been sacked in this way, but I can't blame Barcelona for doing what they did. Hard choices have to be made. They have to protect the interest of the club first before any other. Also, Xavi wasn't impressive this season so sacking him is not the worst of decisions.

Considering that Barcelona's finances have not improved, firing the coach should be a bad choice. I must say that Xavi's sacking as coach was the reason for how unprofessional Laporta was in solving internal problems and his ego in leading Barcelona, ​​​​of course. It was a decision that seemed forced even though on the one hand Xavi was considered wrong, especially in making statements about the club's financial problems. Laporta was offended by this and his ego got Xavi fired after deciding to stay for next season.

Xavi is a good coach who has done various things to make Barcelona rise from adversity. Xavi doesn't get much budget support to strengthen his team, but he doesn't lack ways to make Barcelona have a reliable squad. Of course he has encountered unpleasant stories at Barcelona as a coach, even after bringing Barcelona back to life and competing for the title every season.

Most people believe that Real Madrid can win the Champions League title, but the problem is that Dortmund cannot be underestimated, even though they don't have great strikers, Dortmund's defense is very strong and we also have to look deeper from a physical perspective. Dortmund has advantages and if Dortmund's playing pattern If they can imitate what Atalanta did when they beat Leverkusen, Real Madrid will definitely have a hard time.
From this conversation I support Real Madrid to win but I will never doubt Dortmund's performance which can turn the situation around into a very surprising one.

Even though Bayer Leverkusen has had big surprises this season but still, we cannot equate the quality of Bayer Leverkusen with Real Madrid because of course they are very different. Because after all, Bayer Leverkusen is also relatively new to playing in the final while regarding Real Madrid, of course Real Madrid is not just playing in the final because Real Madrid is also the team that has won the most trophies. After all, even though you think Dortmund might be able to do like Atalanta did, but in the end you also still choose Real Madrid to win. Because it is clear, there is certainly no need to doubt about the quality of Real Madrid, although we do not underestimate Dortmund, but Real Madrid still has a very good chance of winning in the final match.

Dortmund is not Atalanta, and Leverkusen is not Real Madrid so there is no need for us to think that what happened in the finals of Europa might happen in UCL finals. Real Madrid is a very strong club and they are use to playing in the finals and winning the match, so I don't see why something strange will happen this time.

Real Madrid is having classic players that can do the job without fear, because these are the kind of matches that they want to make record with. Vini will be desperate to score goals, likewise Bellingham and Rodrigo. What about Joselu who cam from the bench and scored two goals. So there are many reasons why most people fill that Real Madrid will win this finals.
