La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Altryist]

Of course, these two players are Real Madrid legends, and they will be missed by the team. This is what life is all about changes are constant as ten friends cannot play together for ten years. I will say that Modric have stayed long in the club and have played with different players who have left him behind to other clubs. This is time for him to also retire and enjoy his life outside football.

Kroos is a player that needs to leave the club as a kegend so that oldage will not affect his performance in the club which might make him stay more on bench. It is better that he moves to another club we're the competition with youngsters is not much so that he can cope and enjoy football over there with respect.

Each player chooses what to do next, there are many factors that influence their future career, and age is not the most important of them. Ancelotti has said that he puts a lot of emphasis on young players who will be the core of the team in the future, and therefore experienced players should be sensitive to this. Modric can stay in the team, but he must understand that he will not have as much playing time in the next seasone, even taking into account the fact that Cross has left the team.

Why the comparisons with Manchester United? They're a dead side, even thenso called INEOS are not even good  ( What's the best position of Nice since INEOS took over the club )

Paris Saint Germans I don't know what to say, Chelsea was heading in a good way until they finally chased Roman Abrahimovich from the club..
I'd say Manchester City because in the last couple years, they've done well even though they spent crazy fees.

I'm just criticizing Manchester United's policy in every chance I get.    The supporters must also be criticizing them because of not being able to spend their money efficiently. Yeah they aren't in good condition these days but it is still in their hands to recover. It shouldn't be too difficult to be more careful with transfer policies. I don't say to them that they shouldn't sign by paying a big sum. I'm just saying it must be worth it at least.

Yeah apart from Real Madrid, Manchester City is another team that does this job very well. It is thanks to Guardiola's being free to bring the players of his choice. The chairman believes in him completely so there is no problem at all.

If we look at Barcelona's performance since the start of last season, we can see that Xavi is actually a good coach, he has a good leadership spirit, it's just that the competition with Madrid is very tight, Madrid has more of a winning mentality than Barcelona, ​​regarding whether Flick will be able to bringing Barcelona to be the last in La Liga, I also doubt it, just being able to finish in the top 2 would be a good achievement for Flick.

Yes, to be honest, Barcelona this season is not too bad considering the many obstacles that occur in the club, we should appreciate Barcelona in this season position 2 is not bad, but I'm not sure if next season Barcelona will be able to compete considering the different games of Xavi and Flick. And with the club's unstable finances. Making flick will not be free to buy the players he wants for his tactics later,

Yes I hope Barcelona will be able to compete next season with different tactics.

Xavi is a good coach which is the main reason Barcelona finished second ahead of Atletico Madrid, and Girona.
If we see how they started the season, we will know that Xavi actually tried to unite his players and compose them towards achieving this position at the end of the season even after ending the season without a single trophy.

The second reason why Barcelona had bad season was due to their financial crises which didn't allow Xavi to get his desire players that will help the team.
Moreover, the Laliga competition is not as tough as other competitions because only Barcelona can compete with Madrid as other teams are just there and can't drag the title with Madrid even as we have seen how Girona tried in the beginning of the season but fatique and lack of squad depth let them down.

The performance of Barcelona under Xavi is not a bad one, leading Barcelona to finish in the second spot in the Laliga table this season, and making them lift the Laliga trophy last season(2022/2023).

I so much believe that, the reason why Xavi is been sacked out of the Barcelona team as head coach, not really about Barcelona's performance so far, but because Xavi intends to leave the team before he decides to stay back to the Barcelona team(reasons best known to him). That action of his might be the reason Barcelona management was pushed to have him sacked to be replaced by Flick, so that the same act will not repeat itself again. Maybe he will go finally and to stay

As far as I know, Xavi has been very good when accepting Barcelona offer which has financial problems,because Xavi has lowered his salary and even,after this dismissal, Xavi also gave up his unpaid salary. Obviously, that is a great personality and very good that Xavi has, because eventhough Xavi should be paid high but Xavi is willing to be paid less than he should get. But evenso, Xavi is still able to show his quality and still provide good results forBarcelona. But yes,  the bad thing is that Barcelona is unable to appreciate its legend but at the same time,Barcelona wants and demands good results. So yes, even though Barcelona appointed a new coach but if for example the new coach does not like the way Barcelona does the coaches and players,then I sure Barcelona will be even worse later.

I can only think positively even though I am a little disappointed with the selfishness of Barcelona management who made unilateral decisions without looking at Xavi who has been able to give the best for Barcelona without looking at his salary and we can only continue to try to think positively if it seems like Barca has the best plan for both party between Xavi and Barca.
It could be that the reason for this dismissal was because Barca felt that Xavi had the right to get a bigger salary than other clubs, so Barcelona pretended to fire him in this way.

Barcelona are professionals who have a fair policy for all parties and this decision is the wrong aim to get better results and the hope of Barcelona fans is only that Xavi replacement coach can give the best in the coming season.

There is interesting news about Modric and Real Madrid. While we were expecting to see Modric leave Real Madrid because of not having enough chance in the team during the last season and it was not good for a superstar player like him, but it seems Modric is back in the good form again and he is even close to signing a new contract with Real Madrid to stay in the team for a longer time.
Since Modric is an old player he doesn't expect the team to pay him a huge amount of money but he said he will sign the contract with any price and money is not important for him. This even made Florentino Pérez shocked when Modric said that about the new contract.

Honestly, I don't expect him to leave Madrid even though he is quite old now but I think having him at the club is a good thing because after Nacho and Kroos left this season there must be some old players left so that the squad can still be balanced and Modric's presence is important so I don't expect him to leave and there will be a lot of Madridistas who agree with that so when someone expects Modric to leave is ridiculous in my opinion.

1 season for a new contract before he really goes looking for a new club or retires following in the footsteps of Kroos I think it's still doable for now because after all with his current age even though in the end his role will be slightly reduced but with his presence in Madrid it will add a good situation of confidence in the end so him extending the contract is a good thing and should be thanked by Madrid.-

To face his first season, Flick will maximize the potential of La Masia graduate players. Apart from continuing the legacy that Xavi has left behind. The coach plans to overhaul the current composition of the Blaugrana squad. Barcelona has a young team that is one of the best in the world. In the first team there is a good mix of experienced players and talented young players.

I read in the local media, the arrival of Hansi Flick has not been able to calm Barcelona down. The problem is that Barcelona's financial condition is not supportive. The issue of salary cap and salary cap has not been resolved. Barcelona's current salary cap limit is very small, so Hansi Flick has not been officially registered by Barcelona. It seems that Barcelona will have to sell some players or maybe new income can give Barcelona's remaining salary cap an increase. If this condition is true then perhaps other problems will follow if Flick buys new players to compete next season.

Barcelona's finances are a disaster. Total mess. But listen, its not over. Flick, he's a smart guy. He's got a plan. We might have to sell some players, sure. Nobody likes it, but it's the smart move. You gotta make sacrifices to win, folks.

Real Madrid, they can have Mbappe, but that doesnt scare barca one bit. They've got the best fans, the best stadium, and the best damn history in soccer. We're Barcelona, and we dont back down from a challenge. Laporta and the board, they gotta get their act together. Fast. Clean up this mess, get us back on top. But in the meantime, they must fight.

[KTChampions]

Real Madrid had efficiency transfer last season by spending more than 100 million for signing Jude Bellingham and success become top scorer for first season appearance in La Liga. Difference with Barcelona most of their recruitment failed reach the top level perform and loss opportunity for winning La Liga tittle and eliminated at quarter final in Champion League.

This is really one of the things Real Madrid is very good at. I agree.    They are very good with making the right transfers for themselves. I can't say that every rich team is good about that. I don't know how many times I have given it as an example but Manchester United isn't as good as them. I can't say PSG and Chelsea are very good at it either recently.

When it comes to Barcelona it has mostly been due to financial trouble. They don't want to lose their best young talents at the same time so it is going to take them some really good amount of time to strengthen their financial condition. I'm curious about what Hansi Flick will do next season.

Real Madrid also had unsuccessful transfers (the most unsuccessful one was probably Hazard), but if we take on average then only Dortmund can probably compete with Real Madrid in terms of transfers, which historically buy players who then grow into big stars.
As for Flick and Barcelona, ​​I would first of all like to know what goals were set for him before signing the contract. It’s unlikely that the fight with Real for the title looks realistic now. Probably something like “Championship quarter-finals + some kind of cup”.

[Marvell1]

When Xavi Hernandez decided to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, Barcelona fans were confused because they felt that Xavi was the best coach that Barcelona had even though he was in an unstable financial condition and Xavi was also willing to be paid a small salary by Barcelona, ​​all because of his loyalty and wanting to make a contribution. for his former club not only as a player but also as a coach and he proved it by winning his first La Liga title as a coach. Finally, Barcelona tried to persuade Xavi not to leave Barcelona and Xavi agreed to this, perhaps on the condition that he wanted to buy the players the club needed so that he could improve the club's performance, but because of this, Laporta didn't seem to agree and thought that Xavi didn't trust his club.

But I don't think Xavi is wrong, any coach will still recruit the players he needs, even though the club already has quality players and has good performance, even big clubs that already have good players still recruit new players, so what's wrong if Xavi also wants that? Meanwhile, Barcelona wants good results and their expectations are too high, but with their financial situation like this, it looks like they will have difficulty competing, especially if Real Madrid has Mbappe next season. I'm sure Barcelona will not be given the opportunity to be at the top.

Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona, despite his willingness to accept a lower salary and his desire to contribute to the club's success shows that there's a deeper issue within the organization. While his loyalty and desire to make an impact are commendable, it's understandable that he wants to shape the team to his coaching style by bringing in players he knows would be needed for success. It's actually a common act among coaches wanting to put in their style on the team, even if the club already have the quality players.

 Barcelona's refusal to meet Xavi's demands maybe due to the finance difficulties. The club's financial situation caused by high wages and transfer fees in recent years, limits their capacity to invest in new players, which in turn affects the team's performance. There may also be a difference between Xavi's expectations and the club's long-term plans, leading to a gap between the coach and management. This leakage can hinder the team's ability to compete at the highest level, especially against rivals like Real Madrid.

 Looking ahead, Barcelona faces a big challenge to reclaiming their position at the top of European football. While Xavi's return brought hope to the fans, his departure is going to be a deeper issue plaguing the club. Without an approach to address their financial woes and reconcile differences between coaching staff and management, Barcelona may fall further behind their rivals. Achieving success will require not only financial stability but also a unified vision that aligns the ambitions of the coaching staff with the club's objectives too.

Pretty sure that there was no official reason given why he was leaving Barcelona. a few months ago when he said that he's going to leave Barcelona, he made his decision right after that. And he also decided to stay. But now suddenly Barcelona has actually fired him. I can say that most of the people did not like this decision by the Barcelona authority. Because everyone understands that whoever they are going to get right now is not going to be an upgrade. hardly anyone is actually going to want to work with Barcelona because of the financial difficulties. so of course this is going to be a big challenge for Barcelona. I think if in the next two or three seasons Barcelona actually ends up winning the La Liga title, it is going to be a big surprise. I do not see Barcelona having any kind of success in the next three seasons. Unless somehow they win a lottery and get a huge amount of money from somewhere.

If Barcelona does not get any players next season and Real Madrid signs Mbappe, I am very sure Barcelona will be scared because they know Real Madrid will probably win the La Liga because they have a bigger squad than them and they are in good form. The new coach should just try him best and get even one key player because the other day someone said that it is better they leave Xavi than sack him and buy new players, And I believe they recognize that he will not perform well again. Everyone is aware that Barcelona does not have enough money to buy key players, but they need to sell some players or make loans to other clubs in order to raise funds to buy players. I do not believe Barcelona will do well even with the new coach if they do not buy players for the club next season he will definitely affect them again, and they will try to sack the new coach too.

Since joining Real Madrid on Jul 17, 2014, Toni Kroos has won quite a lot of titles with his colleagues and favorite team. Toni Kroos has won 4 Champions League titles, 5 Club World Cups, 4 La Ligas, 4 Super Cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups and several other prestigious titles. He is clearly a legend who will be remembered, so I will not easily forget one of the best midfielders.

Luka Modric is certainly more successful than Toni Kroos, his title win with Real Madrid is the best proof. Modric has won 24 titles with Real Madrid since joining in 2012, that was only 2 years before Kroos joined. Both players are club legends, but I don't think they will be as widely remembered as Ronaldo.

Toni Kroos is a senior player at Real Madrid with Luka Modric and both of them have achieved quite impressive titles with Real Madrid. It is fitting that he be remembered as a Los Blancos Club Legend because his contribution was so real to the team during his career there. After both of them left, Real Madrid lost a very important player in their glorious era and both of them will always be the most successful part of Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has a much more famous reputation than these two players, so it is natural that he has differences. But overall, all the players who are in the same club as Ronaldo have above average abilities so it is natural that they become legends who should be remembered for Real Madrid.

Barcelona fired Xavi not because of Barcelona's performance this season. Even though there were no significant achievements, Xavi did not carry out his role badly. What caused Xavi to be fired was Laporta's dislike of one of Xavi's statements, in which he said Barcelona would face the next season in the same way as this season, and if nothing changes, then Xavi doubts that Barcelona will win the trophy. I don't know whether the relationship between Xavi and Laporta was no longer harmonious before that case, or if there were other triggers, but it seems that Xavi feels that Laporta does not give him full support, therefore, Xavi once had the desire to leave Barcelona.

If we talk about tactics, of course it will be different and the difference will probably seem quite large. I think Hansi Flick is much more reliable than Xavi and everything will change as long as no problems come. Maybe Barcelona should be able to strengthen their players' physical strength so that they don't get injured as often.

I am very sure that if most of Barcelona's players can avoid injury then they will be much calmer in navigating the competition next season and at least they should not be outside the top four in Hansi Flick's debut as coach. However, if we talk about competing with Real Madrid, it will still be quite far away and it will be difficult for Barcelona to match it.

Xavi has proven his capacity and he has given the title of La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona while the team is down with financial problems. I think it is not appropriate to conclude that Flick is better than Xavi. This season Xavi can also be said to have worked quite well, but he did not get full support because of some things that made internal problems even more tapered. Flick is also a great coach but able to prove that he will be better than Xavi and in my opinion all of that will not be easy.

I didn't see anything bad in Xavi's statement because literally, if a coach sees that there are some causes to why his team ain't performing too well then voicing it out shouldn't be a crime and Joan Laporta made a wrong decision sacking Xavi because Barcelona's challenges are not connected with the coach so if it is true that he sacked Xavi just because of the statement he made then that's unprofessional of him as Barcelona's President.

Even if Xavi once had the intention of leaving Barcelona, this isn't the best way for him to leave because regardless of the fact that they didn't win the league this season but Xavi made sure they finished second in the league table so it is a very welcome development for them to prepare very well next season but since Laporta have sacked Xavi, the play continues but we want to see a different display next season then we can assess if the problem they have is a coach issue.

When they become legends, then of course they will always be remembered but indeed, the fame factor will be the difference. After all, Real Madrid also has many legends in the past but what happens now, because they do not have high fame like Ronaldo, then their names also slowly fade. But of course, their names will always be there at Real Madrid, say for example Raul Gonzalez and maybe Iker Casillas who are basically legends. In fact, they are not only legends,because during their careers at Real Madrid they were also captains of the team, but now their names may not be discussed much anymore although they will not be forgotten.

[len01]

Luka Modric is certainly more successful than Toni Kroos, his title win with Real Madrid is the best proof. Modric has won 24 titles with Real Madrid since joining in 2012, that was only 2 years before Kroos joined. Both players are club legends, but I don't think they will be as widely remembered as Ronaldo.

Kroos and Modric are players whose skills will truly be recognized, even though they will not be remembered like Ronaldo, but still most European football fans will know the history these two players have.
TBH, actually I like Kroos more than Modric but that doesn't mean I say Modric is bad but in terms of skills Kroos has very good skills when in every match he can always provide the right opportunities and some of the great strikers who have played with Kroos will admit that if Kroos has the skill of giving the right ball passes and even Ronaldo recognizes Kroos talent.
so even though Modric joined Madrid much earlier and has won many titles, if given the choice, I would prefer Kroos who should stay.

however, Kroos decision was irreversible and chose to retire and now if Modric had to stay longer with Madrid, perhaps he would be the last remaining legendary player that Madrid has.
UCL match will be the last match for Kroos and all Madrid players will work hard to give the most beautiful gift before Kroos leaves Madrid.

[el kaka22]

It is true that Modric and Real Madrid are in talks, but this time it is not really about money. Modric could have gone to Saudi Arabia and make 100 million a year, that is not the case and he is not going to do that. I think the point here is getting some time, because we have seen Modric be a bench player almost all the season, and played only in a few games as starter, which makes sense considering the talent Real Madrid has at midfield in general.

I think this new talks will depend on if Modric will get to play or not, if he is offered more playing time then he will stay and play, but if he is not offered much, and even worse, or at least basically "we will see what we can do" situation ,then I am sure that he will not accept.

[marcous]

Flick is also a great coach but able to prove that he will be better than Xavi and in my opinion all of that will not be easy.

Both Hansi Flick and Xavi are exceptional managers who have proven their abilities by delivering trophies to the clubs they have led. Comparing them solely based on the number of trophies they have won is an unfair assessment. Barcelona is a complex club currently facing a financial crisis, making it challenging for any manager, including Hansi Flick, to bring home trophies on next seasons.

Xavi was very lucky to be able to do this when he was Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick certainly has the opportunity to repeat it, but the challenges ahead will be even more difficult as Madrid looks even tougher. If Hansi Flick is not equipped with an adequate budget, regardless of how Barcelona deals with the crisis, then Barcelona chances of winning a trophy next season are quite low. Unless Madrid suffers a setback, and even that is impossible to happen.

Apart from that, the injury factor always hinders the team development, it is difficult to achieve the target if many important players are injured. This season De Jong did not perform optimally due to injury, in the middle of the season Gavi also had to be sidelined. On the other hand, I think the presence of Hansi Flick as Barcelona manager next season will at least be able to keep the competition fierce, so that Madrid doesn't dominate too much.

It's too soon to say if Flick can perform better than Xavi or not because we can't forget Flick had a bad performance in Germany and some people believe this coach couldn't be a good option for a team like Barcelona because Barcelona can have much better coaches instead of Flick in their team.
Regardless of that, Flick made his first decision in Barcelona, and as this first decision, he wanted to expect the contract of their captain Sergi Roberto.
When Xavi was working there, Sergi Roberto was even close to leaving Barcelona but since his contract was about to end, Flick asked the team to extend his contract for a longer time.

When Toni Kroos announced that he's going to retire from club football at the end of the season and football in general at the UEFA Euros Championship, I was very surprised because to me, I think he still possess the strength and energy to continue playing football at top level. Luka Modric who's four years older than Toni Kroos is the player I was expecting to retire or better still go to another lower league. The reports that Luka Modric is having serious talks with Real Madrid management is still surprising to me and I hope it's not about how his contract with the club will be extended beyond the end of the current season.
Without doubt, Luka Modric have really helped Real Madrid win many trophies since he was signed in 2012 as well as won many individual accolades including a Balon D'or but I personally think his time at Real Madrid shouldn't go beyond the end of the current season so that the younger players in the Real Madrid squad can get more playing time to shine
