La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rahmad2nd]

~~

Sometimes great coaches also need great players well, on the other hand, Xavi doesn't have the option to bring in some of the players he is targeting because as we know Barcelona has been experiencing a financial crisis for the last few seasons so there is no other way and Xavi has to play with the existing squad. If Xavi was given another chance with the same situation then I'm sure not much would change.

Next season Barcelona will face a more difficult challenge when Real Madrid brings in new players like Mbappe, you know with the current squad Real Madrid is the strongest team in Laliga then imagine if Mbappe was brought in it is clear that Barcelona is increasingly difficult to catch. the way to compete is that Barcelona must also bring in great players. This season Barcelona is weak in attack and defense I think this should be a concern for coaches.

IMO, Barcelona actually has a quite capable squad this season. although there is a big possibility that Xavi will need some of the players he wants in his squad. Unfortunately, financial problems are an obstacle for Barcelona. However, Barcelona actually has quite good players from my point of view. Unfortunately, several players had to go back and forth to the treatment room because of their injuries. The peak was when Barcelona's main goalkeeper Ter Stegen suffered an injury, made worse by the performance of Barcelona's defenders. Apart from that, the midfielder who was the mainstay was injured. quite a few have had to be sidelined for quite a long time, and the impact is that their performance has not been optimal this season. It's possible that if Xavi were given a bigger opportunity, let alone bringing in the players he wants, Barcelona could compete closely with Real Madrid. However, what can we say if Barcelona is currently hampered by financial problems. Moreover, sometimes I don't really understand the system and rotation implemented by Xavi. Not infrequently, he often experiments at the wrong moment. well, this is just my personal opinion.

Talking about next summer, Barcelona or Real Madrid haven't even played pre-season matches. So, we can't know for sure how the competition will be next season. Even though Madrid has Mbappe, there are no definite guarantees before they play their matches in the new season. On the other hand, Barcelona has a new coach who has long experience in football. can Barcelona's new coach compete with Real Madrid next summer? Will Barcelona bring in some capable newcomers? We will know the answer soon before the transfer window opens. so, let's just wait.

Real Madrid recently drew with Sevilla 4-4 and most recently against Betis with a score of 0-0 and most recently won against Alaves with a fantastic score of 5-0 after that Real Madrid ended their last match in Laliga with a draw. and it's not a big thing if Real Madrid draw in their last match because of course Ancelotti is really maintaining the quality of his players and of course a draw is not a defeat so of course Real Madrid is still the best.

A serious team that has a final match would keep to the business until the very end, no need for this draw match even if Laliga is already in their gallary stand, it make no sense and it wouldn't send message to the team they are going to face unless he is trying to cover his next track and method of winning the final match, I'm not just interested with this style of games Anceloti is playing recently.

Yes, what you say is true because I also have the same opinion, namely that Ancelotti will definitely only focus on the UCL and of course he definitely wants Real Madrid to win in the Champions League and Edin Terzic's troops cannot be taken lightly because Dortmund's defense and attack are extraordinary. and surely Ancelotti will continue to look for ways to overthrow Dortmund in the final match.

Dortmund might not be different from Real Madrid in their last games but they are minority here if look at the running this season and how far they ended in 5th place but my idea is simple, keep sending message of El classico to them, it will give them the impression that Real Madrid will not take it lightly but we are now sitting on the same level of performance, we will see that day but I hope I don't get a sleepless night with the result.

I wouldn’t use their last games as a yardstick towards the forth coming UCL game. In the case of Real Madrid, the league was already sealed in their favour when Barcelona lost in a remarkable come back match against Girona. Once that game was won by Girona, of course Real Madrid was just going to play safe in their remaining games while, Ancelotti gets to test some strategies.
I wouldn’t under estimate Dortmund however, they are capable of some good football as well but, not to the quality of Real Madrid for sure. Dortmund is a scoring side as much as Real Madrid, I hope to see them playing a more attacking football alongside Real Madrid but, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the leagues favorite.

Still all Speculations  
We know the favourite team calling for that trophy already but nevertheless  we can't neglect the fact that Dortmund  is also playing good and it takes a lot of effort to reach  finals especially the UCL finals ..
History could actually be made so both team are upto standard just that people already have the expectation for Real Madrid  to come out as the Victor due to their performance and squad  but I won't be too surprised if the unexpected  happens what a spectacular  day ahead to be experienced

Honestly speaking when ever it comes to champions league record Real Madrid is the most favorite club in the world, although they have won the champions league 14 times now and if they eventually won Dortmund again now that is going make it 15 times for them. However I think Dortmund is not going to be a hard openect for Real Madrid to beat in the champions league final on Saturday.

Xavi is a good coach and Barcelona was suppose to give him the comfort he want in Barca to enable him still stay in the club longer than this. He came two seasons ago and won the Laliga trophy for them and due to financial problems, last season became tough for him in the beginning, but he was able to manage the players and brought the team back to their form, despite the lack of funds to buy some new players. Finally, Barcelona ended in second place this season with no trophy, and I would not call it a bad season for them.

Honestly Xavi is good coach because him turned the Barcelona to a better team today I observed many things from the Xavi since when he came to the Barcelona there not lose like before due to how is addressing all the players before entering the filled. Because even the way Barcelona started the season they where perform like they will not advance to no where.

but with the seriousness of their coach and his efforts they're now in second place in the table which is a great perform from them, unlike Girona that open the top standing with great points but lack of their inconsistent didn't allowed them holding the first place of the table.

[skarais]

A manager who managed a team like Barcelona when they were in 9th position in the league and took them to second position. At the end of the season, the club had to rely partially on free transfers because they were not financially buoyant, that manager took that squad and won the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid. That season he won the La Liga, defeating OG managers like Carlo Ancelotti and Diego Simeone with a smaller budget.
The next season was poor, based on the standard of the club because in a lot of clubs, he would have been applauded. Barcelona under Xavi finished 2nd in La Liga and got to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. What does a manager have to do to be rated?

I know Xavi is not a world-class coach, but saying he's still a beginner manager is what I do not agree with and I don't also agree that he can't handle a big project. Maybe he won't be able to handle the top 5 clubs in Europe but he's not a beginner coach. Arterta has gone two seasons in a row without a trophy, but the whole world agrees he's a top manager.
Offers will come for Xavi and I would like him to test himself, it will only be through those tests that he'll learn and grow.

If you are a Barcelona fan, then you have to stop explaining their achievements, including the manager, to anyone who hates Barcelona and everything related to them. They won't listen to your explanation and that is a common thing to keep happening here. Lol

You deserve to applaud Xavi and his work over the seasons, but never expect a hater to come to respect him as much as you respect Xavi. I agree that Xavi is not better in terms of experience in Europe, but he managed to embarrass a manager like Ancelotti last season with a 10 point gap at the end of the season.

[TopT3ns]

Sevilla vs Barcelona two teams entered the field to play today's match in the Spanish League. Barcelona team won today's match by scoring 2 goals. Barcelona team player R. Lewandowski scored the 1st goal in 15 minutes and F. López scored the 2nd goal in 59 minutes to win today's match.  Sevilla's Y. En-Nesyri scored 1 goal in the 31st minute, after which Sevilla couldn't score any more goals.

I think they really tried by wining Sevilla in their last match of the season because is always good for a team to end their season with a good results, because is going to help them to start their next season in another winning ways. However despite that Sevilla lost the game to Barcelona they really played well yesterday by scoring 1 goal in the game because already their possion in the Spanish LaLiga was not really good for them to withstand Barcelona.

If Sevilla is unable to beat Barcelona, that is normal because we know that the team owned by Barcelona has superior strength. Barcelona will definitely not let Sevilla win easily. Barcelona must evaluate all the matches this season and must prepare all its best strengths to be ready to start the new season which will coming soon.

Xavi Hernandez left Barcelona according to his wishes several months ago, although there was news that he had cancel his intention to leave Barcelona, but in the end that happened.
He shouldn't have any difficulty finding a club to continue his coaching career, maybe he can accept an offer from an English club if there is one, because several clubs in England have not yet confirmed their new coach or maybe he can join Serie A.
Barcelona's last match against Sevilla went according to predictions because Barca not only won the match but they also controlled the game, and this victory further increased Barcelona's dominance in H2H over Sevilla who could only occasionally beat Barca.

I read the news which said that at that time Xavi decided to leave Barcelona because of their poor performance and Xavi felt very disappointed with the club management. But in the next few matches, Barca achieved positive results and put them back in the race for the title. Even though he didn't succeed in becoming champion, I think Xavi succeeded in providing the best results for Barca by finishing in second place this season. I don't know what Laporta was thinking by firing Xavi. I heard rumors that there was a dispute between them. Xavi is a great coach and I'm sure he will be recruited by another team again in the near future.

It would be nice if Xavi comes to Premier league to,he really tried his best for Barcelona, especially this season that he brought them back into the Champions league again, because they were down on the table,but later struggle to get to second on the table.
I thought he was going to remain at the club for so long,but it's sad that he left,and Barcelona are going to really miss him because he brought them this far,brought back the culture of Barcelona, and carried it on till he won the Lalliga tittle with them last season.

With what Xabi did at Barcelona when he was their head coach, if he gets the chance to sign for any big club in the Premier League, he will get good results. Before Xavi became Barcelona's head coach, they had sacked two different coaches, but when Xavi came, he used the resources available in Barcelona and won the La Liga title in the second year of his contract in the La Liga league. I also thought Xavi would be with Barcelona next season since he helped them win the La Liga title when others failed. Xavi is a good coach; he needed money in Barcelona to function effectively, but there was not enough money for him to do so.

Barcelona need instant results and they're not here to settle for lesser results. They have to put in the work inother to witnessed incredible results with their new coach incharge. Hansi Flick will do quite important features for the club, he's here for outstanding results and not going back on track. The club's president made a better decision choosing Hansi Flick for the managerial position. Barcelona are facing challenges that have prohibited them from making crucial signings of players. This have been one of the frustrating means for Barcelona. Don't get it twisted, Barcelona have good plans for Xavi Hernandez, who is one of the promising headcoach but he didn't lived up to see the exploring opportunities coming his way.

I totally agree that Barcelona need big improvements fast and hiring Hansi Flick as new coach is good move. Club president made smart choice in picking Flick who has reputation for getting great results. With Flick in charge Barcelona can expect fresh start and clear direction. However club struggles to sign top players have been big problem and it is disappointing to see them miss out on chances. Xavi Hernandez had potential as coach but he did not quite meet expectations. I think Flick leadership will bring  necessary changes to help Barcelona succeed and achieve their goals.

[Hirose UK]

In the end Barcelona won the match. Sevilla's players performed well in this match. Made a lot of attempts to score. Most of the attacks are done by team players. But Sevilla do not have enough experienced players in their attack. This is why Sevilla can't score more than one goal despite attacking a lot. Sevilla have scored just 48 goals in 38 matches this season.

Barcelona played very carefully in this match.   Xavi is well aware that Sevilla's attack is not very strong. So Barcelona didn't try to attack much after scoring their second goal.   Barcelona played somewhat defensively. And eventually managed to win the match by 2-1.

It was difficult to accept that this was Xavi’s last match in Barcelona, but if you look at how he comments on his dismissal, it seems to me that he even talks about it with relief, as if in the end he got what he wanted. Since Xavi was fired unexpectedly, there are no rumors yet where he can continue his career, but I think that he will quickly find a new club where he will be the head coach, he has achieved good results in La Liga, so there will be many teams, that willing to work with him.

It turned out to be true regarding Xavi dismissal, I was behind on this matter and after looking at several news media places that I trusted, it turned out that his dismissal had been officially issued several days ago.
But after news circulated about Xavi official dismissal, there were no rumors regarding the name of the next coach who would be appointed by Barcelona to replace Xavi in leading Barcelona to appear in the competition next season.
It just that Xavi seems to have stated that Barcelona current financial problems will make it difficult for any new coach to develop Barcelona for the better.
If financial problems persist and there is no immediate resolution then I also believe that it will be difficult for the new coach to be able to direct Barcelona on the right path with really strong performance.
Maybe they can sell some players to fix financial problems but this will have an impact on reducing the quality of their game because several players with high selling prices are the core of Barcelona strength.

Despite Barcelona is not leading in the la Liga league table, but their manager has done well to make the team to performed excellent to got to second position to drag the title with Real Madrid. Xavi is a potential manager and if Barcelona president can give him time to manage the team, I think Barcelona will win la Liga league title next season, they will win champion league title next season, because their manager is capable of making all those things to come to reality. I think, Barcelona manager need to sign in some strikers in the summer season to replace some players so that they will be more comfortable in next season than this season, because there is no way they can win this la Liga league title this season which Real Madrid will not allow such opportunity to come for Barcelona till the end of the tournament.

[reagansimms]

Regarding the issue of Xavi Hernandez being fired and then replaced by Hansi Flick, there is another story that is an interesting note in La Liga this season. Artem Dovbyk became the first player in the last 15 years to become the top scorer who was not a Real Madrid or Barcelona player.

Before Artem Dovbyk name appeared as the player who scored the most goals in one season, the player who managed to win La Liga top scorer always came from Real Madrid or Barcelona, players from both clubs were very dominant in winning this individual title. The last time a case like this occurred was in 2009, at that time Diego Forlan managed to score 32 goals. This number could not be caught by Real Madrid and Barcelona players, after that the dominance was always held by the players of these two big clubs.

Will Artem Dovbyk be able to maintain his sharpness next season to win the top scorer title for two consecutive seasons?

[HajiBagi]

Another trophyless season for Atletico Madrid has been left behind. The last one they got was a La Liga trophy in the 2020/2021 season. I know it isn't an easy task to achieve this title while there are really competitive opponents such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and even Girona this season. But at least Simeone can win side trophies like Copa del Rey and so on (I'm not including ones like Champions League into side trophies of course. ).

But the board are still contented with Simeone as they have signed a contract extension until 2027. He is in his 13th year with the team which is really a huge number. I'm curious about how many more years this will go on.

Atletico Madrid is a team with a very strong squad but I don’t even know why the team always finds it difficult to win a trophy, Atletico Madrid is the only club that has defeated Real Madrid this season but see the position that they are at the end of the season, I don’t know atletico Madrid problem but I think it’s time for the team to change the coach, Simeone has tried a lot and the team is very appreciative of what he has done, I think the only thing that is the problem of the team is that they need to sell out some players and sign another player that will change the squad and also make the performance of the team change.

Atletico Madrid has been doing very well this season but when they played against, Girona, Bilbao and Barcelona they couldn’t perform well, from my understanding atletico Madrid don’t want to play against these teams I mentioned but when it comes to Real Madrid they will be serious just to prove that they are the real city of Madrid, winning trophies is the only that can make a team become a great team, its time for them to stop shouting that they want to challenge Real Madrid and focus on winning trophy, and Simeone also needs to leave the team for another coach to come and change the team squad and performance.

However club struggles to sign top players have been big problem and it is disappointing to see them miss out on chances. Xavi Hernandez had potential as coach but he did not quite meet expectations. I think Flick leadership will bring  necessary changes to help Barcelona succeed and achieve their goals.

Everything will depend on the support of Barcelona management because if they are not able to improve by bringing in several new players then I don't think Hansi Flick will make Barcelona rise.
Xavi is actually also a coach who has good qualities, it was proven when he first arrived that he made quite a lot of positive changes, but the Barcelona management did not provide strong financial support because the Barcelona team was having problems, the same goes for Hansi Flick next season, I think Hansi Flick should be in provide financial support to bring in some new players otherwise I doubt that Hansi Flick will make the team even better.

Before Diego Forlan there was a name Daniel Güiza as Laliga top scorer at that time he was from Mallorca and for many years we can see the fact that Laliga was dominated only by Real Madrid and Barcelona because they always be compete for race titles and for top scorer and if i am not mistaken the most top scorer in Laliga was belongs to Messi because during joining with Barcelona Messi can able to became an Laliga top scorer 8 times and after Messi leave there was no players from Barcelona who can able to performing well just like him and indeed they still have Lewandowski but his performance was decline and Lewandowski also has past his prime

About Artem Dovbyk this is his first experience to playing at Laliga but it was very fantastic because within one season he can became an Laliga top scorer and this achievement too makes him will playing at Euro 2024 with Ukraine National Team and about his performance for next season i think there is possibility to him to maintain his performance but after being an Laliga top scorer i am Artem Dovbyk will be targetting to several big clubs this summer especially if he can able to performing well at Euro 2024 but Girona should be hold Artem Dovbyk because he is important player for Girona

[Litzki1990]

Toni Kroos played the last match of his long career for Real Madrid. Toni Kroos is an emotional place for Real Madrid and Real Madrid fans. Toni Kroos has given so much to Real Madrid in his long career that is why Real Madrid will never forget his contribution. There are a lot of Real Madrid fans who wrote that referee don't give your final whistle because if you give your final whistle Toni Kroos will leave us. This is how fans can express their passion for a player. Toni Kroos has been the best midfielder in my eyes ever since I watched Real Madrid play. He was the best midfielder then and he is still the best midfielder in my eyes and without a doubt Real Madrid will miss his attack and great passing.

[Uruhara]

Honestly Xavi is good coach because him turned the Barcelona to a better team today I observed many things from the Xavi since when he came to the Barcelona there not lose like before due to how is addressing all the players before entering the filled. Because even the way Barcelona started the season they where perform like they will not advance to no where.

but with the seriousness of their coach and his efforts they're now in second place in the table which is a great perform from them, unlike Girona that open the top standing with great points but lack of their inconsistent didn't allowed them holding the first place of the table.

Xavi Hernandez has indeed made a big contribution in improving the quality of Barcelona's game. Because before Xavi arrived, we all know that Barcelona experienced a drastic decline in terms of their playing performance. but Xavi came and made things better again. But it's quite sad to hear that Xavi has been fired. even though he had made up his mind to stay there. But a surprise that I never even expected could also happen in the world of coaching. Because knowing that Xavi had been fired from Barcelona made me not believe it. But after I searched, it turned out that this had indeed been confirmed as true. Even though Barcelona can still finish in second place, which is still a good place. The club may hope that Barcelona will continue to be champions but that is very difficult, even Real Madrid can't always do it.

Barcelona will have to make adjustments again next season with the new coach they have, namely Hansi Flick. I still hope they can maintain their quality. But to be honest I'm not sure Barcelona will be as good as this season or last season.
