La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

On the other hand, Jude Bellingham isn't the only players who fill the forward center of Real Madrid this season. Joselu didn't contribute as much as Bellingham but we should also consider him as the best player who helped Real Madrid to win most of their important games this season. In the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, Jude Bellingham was unable to score goals, Joselu was the player who sent Real Madrid to the Champions League final. If Real Madrid did not sign any young striker next season, I hope they should give Joselu another one more year at the club.

Joselu will most likely lose his position as a striker because it seems like Mbappe is being prepared to fill that room. When Mbappe arrived, it was clearly impossible to create a situation where Mbappe and Vinicius Jr were fighting for position, and it was also impossible to shift Mbappe to the wing-back position. So the most feasible thing is to play Mbappe in the center of the front with a 4-3-3 formation which is also often played by Real Madrid.

It's nothing new for Real Madrid to play out that scenario because in the past Real Madrid once placed one of its world-class right players in the central midfielder position. At that time Real Madrid already had Figo who was always the main star on the right wing. So when Real Madrid signed Beckham, he had to be willing to play in the midfield, and it turns out he is quite good at playing in that position.

Every elite clubs keep firing harder for results to upgrade their status. Xavi Hernandez did his best, he won them a couple of major titles during his stay at Camp Nou as headcoach, bringing forth excellence on their path. Barcelona have been struggling to make improvements with the current result on ground but due to the challenges they've encountered when it comes to finances, their inability to sign players and this is probably not the necessities required.

Xavi is a good coach and he also had the support of the players during the transfer window, so the current situation seems to be a management decision. And now Hansi Flick has agreed to a deal with Barcelona, I was surprised to read on social media that his salary is not more than Xavi and even only half of Xavi. Is this part of a strategy to save Barcelona money? Maybe.

Let's look at his career history, he's only been a head coach 4 times.
1996-2000 Victoria Bammental
2000-2005 1899 Hoffenheim
2019-2021 Bayern München
2021-2023 Germany

From this history I see he is very successful as Bayern Munich coach. He got 6 trophies in 2 years. I think Flick can be succes if he get suport from management. This is because next season La Liga will be dificult, look Mbappe came from PSG to Madrid if Barcelona can not utilize the transfers season maybe he can't improve the Team.

I hope Barcelona solves the existing financial problems to strengthen the squad more. Otherwise it is hard to compete with Real Madrid.

This is not easy, because currently Barcelona no longer has mega star players like Messi, Neymar and others. The only way for Barcelona to have good finances and solved all of their financial problem is to sell the club to a rich businessman, for example from Saudi Arabia. With this way, all of Barcelona debts can be paid off. However, if it only relies on sponsors, broadcasts, jerseys/merchandise, tickets, I don't think it will be enough to solve their financial problems in the near future.

[asriloni]

I agree with you. Even though Barcelona has a serious financial crisis, if they sell De Jong and recruit another player with the same quality or more then they will still have to pay the same salary as De Jong receives. I heard news or rumors that said De Jong would be sold because the club management planned to recruit Bernardo Silva from City. I think De Jong is a good player but unfortunately he often suffers from injuries so his performance is not optimal. This is similar to Dembele before, where Dembele often suffered injuries at Barcelona but strangely he became a quite strong player at PSG.

De Jong should definitely be kept by Barcelona. I believe he is one of the really skilled midfielders in the world now. He has been a consistent player since he joined Barcelona as well. As long as Barcelona doesn't manage to find a talent similar to him and much cheaper too, it isn't reasonable to sell him.    Bernardo Silva transfer would probably fail. He has renewed his contract until 2026 and he is happy at Manchester City.

Barcelona finances have been a meme topic recently.    After they signed Hansi Flick there was a meme created like they couldn't arrange a car for him that he had to go to the team facilities by bus.  

I hope Barcelona solves the existing financial problems to strengthen the squad more. Otherwise it is hard to compete with Real Madrid.

That is impossible to happen because laporta unwilling to sell his players who already valued very high at this moment. Barcelona continues to refuse to sell its players for higher prices and this is the main problem that was making club so struggle with its financial. Its financial can never recover caused by barcelona has a very bad habit to keep any players till they leave as free agent. When Barcelona received a large offer for its young players, the club rejected it, but Laporta attempted to sell its useless players for a high price which didn't even make sense. .

Who the hell is going to buy them? Ansu fati is the best example of this. Barcelona turned down a $100 million offer for him a few years ago, and his price is now worthless.

They never learnt. Mismanagement is also exacerbating the issue at the club. Barcelona may take more than a decade to rebuild its finances without selling off its skills for a large quantity of money.

Joselu is no longer young and even this season he didn't get a main place so when Mbappe comes later it's clear he will be left out, but I think Joselu is still needed by the team, to be a cover on the front line.

For the front line, I think Vinicius Jr and Mbappe can still be a partnership or play on the wing for one of them and indeed if you look at the quality I think anyone between these two players can play on the wing or in the middle and what is certain is Vinicius Jr and Mbappe's attacking instincts strong enough that I don't doubt them when playing up front.

Actually for this season Joselu become super sub for Real Madrid and his contribution success helpful when helping Madrid defeating Bayern Munich on semifinal round of Champion League. Arriving Kylian Mbappe or not Joselu most minute spending at the bench with Carlo Ancelotti tactician playing by using false nine on attacking line, but if reach agreement deal for singing Kylian Mbappe next season will make difficult for Joselu will be in starting line up position or not getting loan extending.

For Vinicius Jr position keep secure and he will get regular position for next season if Mbappe arrive, I think both team can play together on the same moment behind Mmbappe will put as central forward and Vinicius keep on his position as left winger. For attacking line not any change yet with potential Vinicius Jr, Mbappe and Rodrygo.

Real Madrid does not officially announce Mbappe’s transfer, because they are still resolving financial issues with PSG, the point is in the bonus that Mbappe received from PSG (€80 million), although at the beginning of the season when Mbappe was not training with the main team it should not have been paid, then paid and now expect that Real should compensate this bonus, and Real, of course, does not want to pay PSG anything because Mbappe is now a free agent.

But PSG also did not pay Mbappe’s salary and bonuses for several last months, which in general amount to approximately the same amount, and now lawyers are dealing with this issue.

Barcelona had difficult times but they were definitely not at the bottom of the table, although the team's position was very precarious and Xavi did a lot for the team. Changing a coach is a normal phenomenon, sometimes it can up the team well, but sometimes it can be a wrong decision that can only worsen the situation in the team. Considering that the team’s financial condition is not the best, such a decision by Laporta could worsen everything. Xavi demanded strengthening of the team, Laporta was apparently not ready for this, given the team’s debts.

The impact of xavi in Barcelona is such that can't be overlooked or even overly emphasized because he's been able to manage them well enough through the tough times where they had the financial burne yet never did they find their selves at the bottom of the table or even anywhere below the top five, they still get to finish amongst top three and four almost every season since the genesis of their financial crises.

Laporta's decisions is best known to him but as it regards the intrest of the team, I can say for sure that it wasn't a good one because they are yet to get pass the whole financial saga even if they have been able to get a fair head above it currently but they are yet in their feet properly and here's a man who's got the tactics of seeing them through the tough times and was able to still keep the team in a bet shape, getting a coach in with such quality may be a problem to Barcelona but we hope the new coach they are about to appoint has it at heart that there are inevitable challenges ahead of him which he's definitely going to face if he's going to manage the Tam.

Very importantly is results and productivity, amidst all of the financial instabilities, I'm sure la porta will not take that as an excuse for any form of poor results and Inconsistency that will lead to lesser productivity with the team as he has seen the team done better even in that state a d this is exactly the pressure that will be on the new coach to be able to deliver the team even with all the challenges ahead.

Joselu was signed on loan to Real Madrid last summer but there's is a buyout option in the clause that will see Real Madrid pay just 1.5 millions Euros to permanent the deal. After his heroic performance against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the semi final in the UEFA Champions League competition, it is reported that Real Madrid will exercise the buyout option by extending his stay at the club beyond the current season.
The reason why Kylian Mbappe's intending transfer to Real Madrid is yet to be announced is absolutely unconnected to the personal financial issues between the France international and Paris Saint Germaine. I think the club be making such huge announcement after the UEFA Champions League final or probably after the UEFA Euros Championship. Whatever be the case, the truth is that Kylian Mbappe is very likely to become Real Madrid player come in the upcoming summer transfer window

This is an internal problem between Mbappe and PSG, Real Madrid has nothing to do with the case being faced by the two camps because currently Mbappe is not under contract with the club he has played for so far. This problem will not make the process of Mbappe's move to Real Madrid protracted, sooner or later, Mbappe will become a Real Madrid player.

PSG still feels hurt by Mbappe due to not wanting to extend his contract, due to the decision to look for a new challenge in another league, PSG suffered a big loss due to losing one of the players who had a high selling value. Mbappe will continue to demand his rights that have not been paid by PSG, taking legal action will make the process faster, especially since the amount of money that PSG has not paid is written in Mbappe contract.

It's an unexpected story, but now lawyers are involved to settle things.
Despite all these unpleasant things Mbappe has stayed quiet and focused on playing, showing a lot of maturity. There's no official announcement of his transfer to Madrid yet, however he's shown respect towards his club and helped settle things down. This situation creates because the club is sad after failing to keep their star player, and Mbappe will now leave as a free agent.
Despite the bad treatment Mbappe received and the Champions League loss in his final year at PSG, it's time for a safe exit. Everyone is watching him, especially Madrid fans who are eagerly waiting for the announcement of his move to Madrid.

Barcelona surprisingly fired Xavi Hernandez from the coaching chair last week. Former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick is currently the person most likely to take over Xavi's duties. If you look at his track record, Flick was the assistant coach for the German national team when they won the 2014 World Cup and also when they were runners-up at Euro 2008. What we know. During his time at Bayern Munich, he won the Champions League, two Bundesliga titles, the Club World Cup and other awards.

But as Xavi said. Currently Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties. The question is, will Flick have difficulty finding talented players while managing Barcelona? It is very likely that Flick will sell some of their young players and players who do not fit their criteria.

In a difficult situation Xavi was able to bring a lot of changes and also stability in the Barcelona squad, but unfortunately he had to be sacked only for ridiculous reasons that Laporta might regret in the future, in two seasons with Barcelona of course he has worked hard enough and given everything for the revival of Barcelona even though the end of the season was not always as expected,  But I think with the current financial conditions, of course, Xavi achievements at Barcelona are extraordinary, now Xavi has been officially fired and Hansi Flick will continue all Xavi hard work in resurrecting Barcelona glory as one of Europe top teams so far.

Hansi Flick already has a lot of experience in coaching a club, Bayern Munich is certainly a team he has coached and won many championship trophies, but for now of course Barcelona difficult conditions will make him have to work hard and also smart in revamping the Barcelona squad to compete next season, reportedly Hansi Flick will be contracted until June 2026 with a salary of 3 million euros per year.

It is hoped that Hansi Flick's presence on the coaching bench can bring Barcelona back to winning the title after finishing last season without a trophy. Of course, Flick is tasked with determining the players who can fit into his tactical scheme at Barcelona to challenge their eternal rival Real Madrid in the Spanish League and Europe.

Because Hansi Flick is a coach who uses tight pressing, as well as a playing style that relies on ball control and daring to attack, this was proven when he coached Bayern Munich. So, now Barcelona and Flick are trying to recover together. With the financial difficulties currently facing, can Barcelona's glory return with him?

So, now Barcelona and Flick are trying to recover together. With the financial difficulties currently facing, can Barcelona's glory return with him?

We will see a new era in Barcelona next season, after previously tiki taka developed rapidly in Barcelona after  Guardiola and Xavi coaching, of course Hansi Flick will carry a game scheme that may be slightly different next season, Hansi Flick is a firm coach and does not even hesitate to get rid of players who are considered not in accordance with the scheme and needs of the game applied so far,  So I think the arrival of Hansi Flick will certainly change things at Barcelona later, including maybe the elimination of some players who may not be in his plans next season.

Hansi flick from the beginning of his arrival has said that possession and also high pressure its he style and in contrast to Barcelona who sometimes hold the ball for too long, whereas hansi flick likes fast play from foot to foot and even often takes shots from outside the penalty area, so I think Hansi Flick will try to completely overhaul Barcelona game as the season progresses,But what I am quite curious about is whether Hansi Flick will be able to make Barcelona better when Xavi coaches or even worse with all their problems.

[Marvell1]

Xavi Hernandez has actually been good at carrying out his duties as a coach, even the galar he got last year was not just luck, but the result of his hard work in taking care of the Barcelona players. If he had to be fired from Barcelona, it would not be a big problem for him and his future, no There is something bad about Xavi if you look at the mental and tactical aspects he was given during his tenure as coach, finishing in second place is not an easy thing for a club like Barcelona in this time of financial problems, but if the decision is unanimous then there is nothing for Xavi to regret because it all goes back to Barcelona management in retaining Xavi as coach.

I agree with you, that basically this decision raises the question, why Xavi was fired by Barcelona management. Even though Xavi has so far been able to make Barcelona quite strong and successful despite the existing limitations. The reason is that last season, Xavi was able to bring Barcelona to become La Liga champions and also won the Spanish Super Trophy. So the point is why Xavi was decided to be fired by Barcelona management. Even though Barcelona is currently experiencing financial limitations. So even if you think about it briefly, this will definitely make it difficult for Barcelona in the coming season to find a new coach who has good qualities like Xavi.

And I also don't understand what happened with Barcelona and Xavi this season. The reason is, this season Xavi stated that he would leave Barcelona after this season ended. Then after that news circulated again stating that Xavi had changed his mind and would continue to coach Barcelona next season. And now it is Barcelona management who have decided to fire Xavi. So regarding the case of Xavi and Barcelona, ​​this could be said to be quite complicated for me.

Maybe there is another problem that we may not know about, which causes this to happen. But as you said, Xavi will definitely be fine even if he is fired from Barcelona, ​​and that is true. Because of course there are other big teams that will be eyeing Xavi to become their coach.

He has definitely done a good job. I believe some big clubs are already thinking about him. there are a lot of big clubs which are facing bad performance recently. So I think he is going to be in demand. Maybe not in high demand but certainly going to be in demand in my opinion. Would actually love to see him be the new coach of another La Liga team and actually beat Barcelona when they meet. That would be hilarious.

Anyway, he has done a very decent job even though he did not have almost any amount of money in his hand. I understand that he did spend quite a lot of money towards the start. But at this day and age where you have to spend almost 100,000,000(hundred million)for a decent striker, he definitely did a good job. And I will say he did not spend that much money.

I haven't heard any rumors about Hansi Flick being coached by Barcelona. I am very surprised to see Hansi Flick as coach of Barcelona.

Hansi Flick is quite an old and experienced coach. With the help of Hansi Flick, Bayern Munich managed to put on a stunning performance. Hansi Flick was with Bayern Munich for two seasons. Bayern Munich played 86 matches in 2 seasons. Bayern Munich team won 70 of these matches. And lost only 7 matches.

But I don't think Hansi Flick will change the overall situation of Barcelona and Barcelona will win the title. Barcelona is now in financial crisis. Barcelona now need big funds to strengthen their squad. Otherwise, it will be impossible for Barcelona to dominate La Liga next season.

Although I am still very sad about Xavi's dismissal from there. but I also hope that Hansi Flick can give the best for Barcelona. And it is very likely that under Hansi Flick's coaching we will see a different Barcelona style of play next season. And hopefully it will be a good result for Barcelona. Although I still like Barcelona's style of play so far, which always shows a unique tiki-taka style of play. But I'm also curious about what style of play Hansi Flick will create there. A more pressing and brave style of play will probably be the new color for Barcelona's style of play next season.

[hahay]

I hope Barcelona solves the existing financial problems to strengthen the squad more. Otherwise it is hard to compete with Real Madrid.

This is not easy, because currently Barcelona no longer has mega star players like Messi, Neymar and others. The only way for Barcelona to have good finances and solved all of their financial problem is to sell the club to a rich businessman, for example from Saudi Arabia. With this way, all of Barcelona debts can be paid off. However, if it only relies on sponsors, broadcasts, jerseys/merchandise, tickets, I don't think it will be enough to solve their financial problems in the near future.

I agree, even if Barcelona manage to get a treble winner, the reality is that Barcelona will still have financial problems because the debt Barcelona has is very large. So yes,I agree with the option of selling the club itself, because ifBarcelona continue to do the efforts they have done so far, then ofcourse Barcelona will not only be difficult to win trophies, butBarcelona will also be difficult to have mega star players in the squad. Therefore,at least Barcelona might still be lucky to be in La Liga,because if Barcelona were in Serie A then Barcelona would most likely already have been punished.

[marcous]

Xavi reputation during his time as Barcelona manager was said to be very good, his dismissal was truly a shame, where Barcelona situation in the future may not be better because the club is still facing a financial crisis. Hansi Flick has now been appointed as Xavi successor next season, he has been warned that Barcelona has a complicated situation, space to move will be limited because the club cannot fulfill all his wishes.

Meanwhile, one La Liga trophy and one Spanish Super Cup trophy are proof that Xavi has the capacity to coach other elite European clubs. I think Xavi will receive many offers. I think Xavi quality is above managers in general, where he was able to bring Barcelona to a trophy even though the club condition was unstable. If Xavi joins a club that is financially good, then Xavi chances of presenting a trophy will certainly be even greater.

The Premier League, Serie A or even the Saudi Pro League are good options to continue his managerial career, several teams were reportedly approaching Xavi. However, there is other news that says Xavi will rest for a while and spend time with his family. What is clear is that Xavi has proven himself to be a quality manager, the club that recruits him will definitely be lucky.

[rendravolt]

I hope Barcelona does that especially to sell De Jong. How could their club's finances be so messed up just to pay one player every week? If I'm not mistaken De Jong's salary for that week was 730k Euros and it was very unreasonable with his less consistent performance and frequent injuries making him the player with the highest salary at Barcelona.

It is possible that Hansi Flick should give advice to management to sell some of his players and he can target the players he needs in the squad. Because this is his first season managing Barcelona, ​​he will definitely be careful and not want to make a mistake. Full trust in him must be repaid by winning one trophy at least next season.

In this season, Frenkie de Jong had 20 appearance in La Liga and success scoring two goals although he most injury but success getting almost 50% appearance for this season. His contract left until June 2026 and getting two season later will stay with Barcelona and getting highest salary payment than other players. Recent Frenkie de Jong market values around 70 million euro and I doubt any teams will make offer on this price behind not consistent performance in this season.

I think Frankie de Jong future with Barcelona depend on Hansi Flick decision will give him space in his tactician or not for next season, Barcelona less option for holding midfielder and I sure new manager Hansi Flick priority for defending him next season if difficult to sign new players how Barcelona still face with financial problem.

So Barcelona will still be burdened by De Jong for another 2 years? this is absolutely crazy and will only cost the club more. Actually, there is still a team that wants to sign his contract, namely Manchester United, but it seems like Barcelona doesn't want to lose him and prefers to keep him with an exorbitant salary.

De Jong will still be Hansi Flick's first choice considering his role in the midfield is very important but in my opinion it is not a problem that arises from him and more about the salary being too large which means Barcelona is dying financially. Again, if there are other viable player options, I think Hansi Flick should help Barcelona release De Jong because this is very unhealthy for the club's finances and will be further eroded if it continues.

With this way, all of Barcelona debts can be paid off. However, if it only relies on sponsors, broadcasts, jerseys/merchandise, tickets, I don't think it will be enough to solve their financial problems in the near future.

Barcelona's increasingly worrying financial condition is the main problem at the club. In fact, according to Barcelona's former financial advisor, Marc Ciria, he said that Barcelona's debt is estimated at 3 billion euros. (Sourch) And that is a very large number. But maybe if in 2014-2015 this club had not mismanaged its finances then something like this would not have happened. At that time this team was too enthusiastic in bringing in lots of expensive players. And there are many other problems that make this club's financial problems worse. It was even reported that Xavi was fired because he revealed the club's financial crisis. But fortunately Barcelona has now managed to get the signature of a new coach by offering a salary that is not too large and below Xavi's salary. But I hope this club can recover, but it will take quite a long time. And perhaps selling the club is the last resort if things get worse.
