La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[lalabotax]

Bro you probably haven't seen Vini's performance earlier this season. Vini's performance at the beginning of the season was very poor and erratic. But Ancelotti kept his faith in Vini and provided plenty of opportunities. Vini did not disappoint Madrid fans. Gradually he solved his problems. And at the end of the season we got to see Vini's career best performance. We have had great performances from Vinicius Junior in the last half of the season and Vini is the most important player in Madrid's attack at the moment.

Seriously, Vini's contribution to Real Madrid this season is really that great. Yes, it cannot be denied that at the start of the season, his performance was not that good. However, he learned a lot and Ancelotti is indeed the best maestro. The various conditions and challenges he faced, including various cases of racism against him, did not make him drop for long. In fact, the closer we get here, the more excellent Vini JR's performance becomes. This season, the combination of Vini JR, Bellingham and Rodrygo is extraordinary. However, when it comes to the achievements of the left wing, to be honest, this time in my opinion, Vini JR is indeed the best performer among other football players at the moment. It would be very appropriate for him to be one of the candidates to receive the Baloon d'Or.

That's very simple to understand about Barcelona and Sergi Roberto. Barcelona doesn't have a good financial situation and that's why they can't keep some players in the team and hiring expensive players is not going to be easy for them compared to a team like Real Madrid and that's why they should sometimes think about putting their players for sale.

The financial problems experienced by Barcelona are not over yet. But fortunately, there are several things that this time are enough to help the club breathe easier. Like the lifting of financial sanctions for Barcelona, ​​as well as additional tips from sponsor Nike for them, if I'm not mistaken. So this is enough to help Barcelona breathe a little easier, even though it doesn't mean an end to this financial problem. Barcelona still has a lot of debt, and in addition, the expenses they have are also extraordinary, especially some of the players' salaries which are truly extraordinary. Because of that, no matter what, Barcelona will still have to sell several players to become an alternative source of income this time.

Oh yes, I heard that de Jong's salary is very large and one of the highest, right? This is why no big clubs are interested in getting him? So, how can Barcelona overcome this?

[imamusma]

Barcelona may do their best next season to win the title because they are a large club and will do everything they can to win the trophy. Now that Xavi has been fired and a new coach has been hired, they will do everything they can to produce something next season, but if Barcelona does not sign any players next season, he will undoubtedly have an impact on them since he will be difficult to score and compete with the large clubs in the league. Because Barcelona continues to remove coaches and has done little to sign new players, he will continue to have an impact on them and will make it tough to win the title. Since the league has not started I believe they will be thinking for how to raised funds and get players, because am sure they will try and even buy one player to join the team next season even is on load. Let see how the team we arrange there self next season and perform well, because am already thinking that Madrid will win the laliga trophy next season again but anything can happen.

Of course, Barcelona will remain optimistic about the trophy hunt next season, even though all La Liga fans realize that Real Madrid will be very tough to beat. Hansi Flick still wants an overhaul of the main squad, adapting to the strategy he will use, but recruiting expensive players will most likely not be possible. If Barcelona insists on making a surprise in the transfer window, they will have to sacrifice young players to be released. Therefore, according to my assumption, Hansi Flick room for movement in the transfer market will be limited, because everything really depends on the budget they have.

Options such as borrowing players from other clubs, or looking for free transfer players like those used by Xavi will be used again by Hansi Flick. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo will most likely be retained, Barcelona will make an offer to extend their loan period. It could be said that Real Madrid next season has quite a high chance of retaining the trophy, because the recruitment of Mbappe will make the front line of Ancelotti squad very sharp. However, Barcelona remains one of the main competitors, Hansi Flick must try hard to bring Barcelona to compete in the trophy hunt.

Oh yes, I heard that de Jong's salary is very large and one of the highest, right? This is why no big clubs are interested in getting him? So, how can Barcelona overcome this?

I don't think there are any clubs that don't want him but indeed the drama with Barcelona is sometimes troublesome and they always want to make profits that can't even be imagined for the sale of their players although it is a natural thing for business but sometimes they are unreasonable in taking profits just because they want to balance the cash quickly.

We know in recent seasons the De Jong drama in player transfers has always happened so looking at this I think we must be aware that there are still several clubs who want his services but Barcelona sometimes always overreact by making unreasonable offers.

Manchester United had previously even been ready to provide cash and agree with some of the proposed conditions but in the end this also had to fail because Barcelona did not provide a price that was feasible especially last season Xavi was very reluctant to lose his players but maybe for the current Flick era will be the difference.

Girona still appear to me like an under dog who was just privileged in the just concluded season, but I want to believe they will be able to sustain the form the had this season by next season but it wouldn't be enough for the to be seen as a contender to Madrid or even Barcelona but they may be able to still maintain a top four position and still get some more champions league privilege and experience in the times they are able to be at the top.

Next season will certainly be tougher for Girona as they are required to do the same as this season in conditions that are currently still uncertain whether the players will remain or not as well as the tight schedule because next season is the season where they debut for the Champions League.

Currently their play maker Savio has been confirmed to be going to Girona's brother (Manchester City) next season and several other players are also currently the target of many parties such as Dovbyk and several other players which of course this is a big concern if several players currently leave for new clubs that make Girona could be unexpected.

Hopefully their performance will always be like this in the next season because after all, even if the end of season performance does not go according to expectations, they still deserve to be praised at this time for their hard work in enlivening a more colorful La Liga because not only Madrid, Barcelona and Atletco are competing but Girona is also doing the same this season.

I strongly agree with you that Girona are the underdog in the league but the most mind blowing part is nobody expected it because Girona is not up to a decade since they joined the La Liga league. The kind of performance they exhibited this season was absolutely amazing and encouraging for them to do better in the next season. What everyone expects from Girona is to maintain Michel as the club's manager against the next season and tournament especially now that they will be playing the Champions league.

Anyone want to make 50% in less than a year?
At the moment, bookmakers' odds for next season's title holder are as follows:

Real - 1.50
Barcelona - 4.50
Atlético - 9.50

To my surprise, Sociedad (21.0) comes next and only then Girona/Athletic/Betis (26.0).
Considering all the circumstances, I don’t even know if a bet on Real is gambling, an investment or a secure deposit

Well with the signing of kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid are clear and obvious favorites to win the La liga next season; they have got a young and vibrant squad to compete with and a new addition in Kylian mbappe and more signings touted to join the squad; the future is already brighter  for the galacticos

If you then consider Barcelona aging squad, injury record and broke record; I am tempted to say betting on Real Madrid is a deposit

[ndutndut]

It is really funny for anyone to think that Real Madrid will one day underestimate Barcelona. Barcelona will always be Barcelona in the side of Real Madrid, no matter how bad Barcelona may be. Real Madrid will always play them with full passion. In fact, I don't even think that Barcelona will be that bad one day; I believe that Barcelona will always be a great opponent for Real Madrid forever. I am aware currently that Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona, and it may be possible for Real to continue with their strongest form next season because they have added Mbappe to their squad again, which I know is another great strength for the squad, but Barcelona will. Also do their best.

You are right. Even though Real Madrid are currently doing better than Barcelona, they cannot underestimate Barcelona. If Real Madrid does such a thing, I believe Barcelona will beat them so they can never see Barcelona as a weak team or opponent. If they do, it will disappoint that day. We all know that even though Barcelona is not in their best form, Real Madrid still finds it difficult to beat them anytime they have a match.

What if Barcelona becomes stronger by next season? Definitely, they will be a very big challenge for Real Madrid, and currently they are mounting Real Madrid in the table. Even though Real Madrid is 10 points ahead of them, anything can still happen.

As far as I know, Real Madrid has never underestimated its opponents in any match, especially Barcelona's class, who are rivals in the race for the Laliga trophy every season. Indeed, next season the Real Madrid squad will be very frightening for every opponent, especially with the presence of Mbappe which will certainly increase goal productivity on Real Madrid's front line. However, the El Clasico match is still a fierce match and can cause surprises. Hansi Flick will make changes at Barcelona next season, especially since Barcelona and Flick's playing philosophies are very compatible, namely ball control and attacking, so it is likely that he will quickly adapt to the players.

But even so, with the luxurious squad that Real Madrid currently has, I am sure they will defend the Laliga title next season. Moreover, with the arrival of Mbappe, Real Madrid hopes to achieve the treble for the first time. And I think this is also Mbappe's biggest motivation for being at Real Madrid. because what Real Madrid hasn't achieved is the treble winner.

That's very simple to understand about Barcelona and Sergi Roberto. Barcelona doesn't have a good financial situation and that's why they can't keep some players in the team and hiring expensive players is not going to be easy for them compared to a team like Real Madrid and that's why they should sometimes think about putting their players for sale.
However regarding Sergi Roberto, as far as I know since Flick joined Barcelona, he tried to keep experienced players like him in the team and that's why he asked Barcelona to keep Sergi Roberto for a longer time however I guess Sergi Roberto will ask for more salary considering the offers he has from the other teams.      

At this point I feel it will be right and safe to say the issues with the financial situation of Barcelona have been over flogged and even Barcelona should have been able to at this point gotten a solution to its, it's been three seasons now and we a re still talking about the financial situation of Barcelona and making it an excuse for them to not perform well I'm their games of which for me it's becoming annoying and not a good enough excuse.

Sometimes I even want to say it's beginning to look like Barcelona (La porte) is enjoying their current state otherwise he should have taken drastic actions and measures to get the team out of the financial mess, keeping them at a better position to thrive and become equals with Madrid in the la Liga if possible, the excuse everytime of been financially burdened is something that a tea. Shouldn't be proud of and allow to tarry too long enough as it may likely turn to affect their general productive  especially when they begin to find it difficult strengthen the team with the kind of players that will help them.

If Barcelona continue in this, they should be sure they are going to loose their present coach pretty soon especially when he becomes frustrated not getting the kind of team He wants because of finance and yet there are opportunities that could e explored outside the players with which be has been provided with. Barcelona should start making moves.to be pulled out of tb poor state they have been

Paris Saint Germain still owns Kylian Mbappé's image rights.

Well, they do not own the player himself anymore. What are they going to do with the image rights? And even if Real Madrid does not own the image rights of Mbappé, I am quite sure that they are going to solve that problem very soon. So there is no reason to make any big issue out of it at all. I understand that when some other club actually owns the image rights of a player like this, there might be some problems and they might use that for different purposes. But I am sure that PSG knows better and is not going to do anything like that because that will cause them more problems. And they are already in enough problems.

From what PSG is doing on Twitter, it seems like they feel they have lost a very important player because so far Mbappe has contributed quite a lot to PSG. PSG must remain professional because when their players have been bought, they must remain careful when they want to use Mbappe's image. At least PSG should not be sued by Real Madrid for violating copyright or other matters because their players have been completely purchased by Real Madrid.

Even though Real Madrid are currently doing better than Barcelona, they cannot underestimate Barcelona. If Real Madrid does such a thing, I believe Barcelona will beat them so they can never see Barcelona as a weak team or opponent. If they do, it will disappoint that day. We all know that even though Barcelona is not in their best form, Real Madrid still finds it difficult to beat them anytime they have a match.

If it is about the match against Barcelona, Real Madrid will never underestimate them. You must know that El Clasico will always be a tight match although Barcelona or Real Madrid isn't in a good condition. We must realize that Barcelona isn't a weak team although they are not as strong as in the past. Barcelona still has good players, but Real Madrid has better quality players. If Barcelona can get a new top striker, they are possible to be strong again. Let's see what Barcelona can do in the next transfer windows!

What if Barcelona becomes stronger by next season? Definitely, they will be a very big challenge for Real Madrid, and currently they are mounting Real Madrid in the table.

It is possible if they can get a new striker who has the same level as Lewandowski. We know Lewandowski played worse now, Barcelona needs a new machine goal. I heard a rumor that Barcelona wants to sign Julián Álvarez. If Barcelona really can sign him, it won't be very surprising if they become a stronger team in the next season. However, Barcelona needs to have big money to sign Julián Álvarez. His market value is about €90m, I guess Man City wants more than €100m.

When they were offering the young man some outrageous contracts in order to keep him against his wish in PSG, didn't they know what they were doing? Mbappe would have been sold last summer when the club would have made some money from Real Madrid. Instead they kept him and allowed him go for free. I do not know much about image rights and how they want to resolve it. But I do know that mbappé cannot be with Real Madrid and PSG is using his image to make money. There must be a consensus between the two clubs pertaining the person of kylian mbappé. I think it is time for PSG to let everything go, they cannot reverse the time and they should come to the realization that they have lost him and move on.

Michel cool hands managed to lead Girona to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings this season, no one expected them to be able to do it, in fact Girona had time was competing closely with Madrid at the top of the standings. Apart from that, in two meetings with Barcelona, ​​Michel fleet was able to beat they, a very impressive season for Girona.

Michel task next season will be even tougher, because they have to divide their focus between the Champions League and La Liga, it is quite difficult to balance the team in the two most competitive competitions. But still, next season Girona will make history by playing in the Champions League, it is also possible that they will be able to appear stable in La Liga too.

Hopefully Michel will stay for next season with Girona, even though several elite European clubs are reportedly very interested in signing him. Michel contract only ends in June 2026, and that means there are still two seasons left to do big things. Now Mihcel fleet is highly respected by other La Liga contestants, because Girona is no longer a mediocre club.

Incredible with Girona achieved in this season for the first time success qualified to Champion League after securing third standings position, Girona performance very consistent and defeated Barcelona as home and away matches for this season.
Michel Sanchez has not easy challenge for next season because must focus and keep perform well when playing in Champion League and must keep in the fourth standings in domestic league.

Girona's management must support Michel Sanchez keep hold all key players success make Girona perform well in this season and recruit some new players help them keep playing well with most busy schedule matches in next season because get appearance in Champion League and play eight matches at round phase.

It is time for PSG to admit they lost and move on. They can not change past and trying to keep Mbappé image rights is pointless. Two clubs need to come to an agreement to end this situation. PSG needs to accept that they lost great player and focus on building a new team instead of dwelling on what could have been.

I am optimistic that Barcelona will rise and become a serious challenger in the race for the La Liga title next season under the coaching of Hansi Flick. Even though Barcelona cannot freely bring in quality players due to financial problems, with the existing squad, Barcelona should be able to win La Liga next season.

If it can't be done, it won't be surprising to many people because Barcelona's rivals will still be strong next season and this will be added to by the arrival of the best players from France at the end of this season. However, you shouldn't be lax about being optimistic if you are a fan of the Barcelona team, but you also have to look at the more logical reality of this because a team like Girona alone can also be an obstacle for other big teams in terms of winning the La Liga title.

If it is related to rivals fighting for the La Liga title, in reality this all team have prepared their respective performances better, even Barcelona themselves are also trying to slowly overcome the problems they are experiencing.
Barcelona will start next season with new coach and there are several efforts to buy and sell players in order to have more stable squad, but honestly, to be able to get the title I think there are too many doubts.
It is true that no one knows what the competition for the title will be like next season, but the condition of each team will be able to provide an assessment of how things will develop next season, the hope is that the competition will be as fierce as in the past few season.

This season, Girona appears as team that has improved significantly, they have shown how good their development is only in the near future, Girona has even managed to become team that is able to compete in the race for the title.
In my opinion, the only team that is still very stable is Atletico Madrid because there is no significant decline in terms of performance, and they are even able to occasionally show big surprises.

[Luzin]

This season, Girona appears as team that has improved significantly, they have shown how good their development is only in the near future, Girona has even managed to become team that is able to compete in the race for the title.

Quite surprisingly, I think they can only give a surprise at the beginning of the season. But it turned out that they were able to survive until the end, even able to qualify for the UCL. But if the team's condition is still like this, I think they will have a hard time competing. I also doubt for next season they can compete again if they don't take advantage of the transfer moment. I see a lot of teams that were able to make a surprise in that season but were not able to survive the next season.

Paris Saint Germain still owns Kylian Mbappé's image rights.

Well, they do not own the player himself anymore. What are they going to do with the image rights? And even if Real Madrid does not own the image rights of Mbappé, I am quite sure that they are going to solve that problem very soon. So there is no reason to make any big issue out of it at all. I understand that when some other club actually owns the image rights of a player like this, there might be some problems and they might use that for different purposes.

At least PSG should not be sued by Real Madrid for violating copyright or other matters because their players have been completely purchased by Real Madrid.

It appears that PSG cannot stay away from mbappe. It is evident that the club continues to utilize his photograph which mean club still took benefit from player owner by other club. It means that PSG continues to benefit even if the club no longer owns him. Mbappe's situation is becoming increasingly challenging. It appears to me that PSG is unwilling to let him go and this is also has indicated it.

Glad to see Madrid seized the opportunity to sign him as a new player. I'm glad to see that Real Madrid has been performing well this season. It appears to me that PSG must also see this as a problem. If PSG now owns Mbappe, it would be weird if they retained Mbappe's image.
Is this implying that Real Madrid is unable to post anything using Mbappe's picture? It doesn't make sense to see that.

PSG is finally understanding big mistake they made by trying to keep Mbappé when he didn't want to stay. They offered him lot of money but it was too late. They could have sold him to Real Madrid last summer and gotten some money back but they didn't. Now they are trying to figure out what to do including dealing with image rights. It is time for PSG to admit they lost and move on. They can not change past and trying to keep Mbappé image rights is pointless. Two clubs need to come to an agreement to end this situation. PSG needs to accept that they lost great player and focus on building a new team instead of dwelling on what could have been.

Mbappe has shown his attitude of wanting to leave immediately since Real Madrid made an official offer for his signature, but PSG do not see this offer as a threat because they think they can keep Mbappe with the promise of a large salary plus other bonuses. PSG could get a large amount of money if they immediately released Mbappe before his contract ended, but due to the very high level of self-confidence, PSG had to let Mbappe go without getting any money.

Now Real Madrid is the luckiest party because they were able to get Mbappe for free. This is the most successful transfer made by Real Madrid because after his contract is active he has a high selling value. Real Madrid front line is getting sharper after new ammunition has been added to its front line, new Galaticos have been successfully formed with talented young players, Real Madrid attacks will be even more terrifying next season because they have the world's best young players.

Let this mistake be an important lesson for PSG that they should not be selfish in making decisions. Indeed, the PSG boss did not want to lose Mbappe and he did many things to make Mbappe stay longer at PSG, but this emphasis made Mbappe feel uncomfortable and felt that the club did not allow him. to go and get out of the comfort zone to increase his experience in football even though Mbappe himself wants a prestigious title which he can achieve when he is at Real Madrid because if he continues to stay at PSG he will not get it. Luckily Mbappe was able to get out of the cage and he made the right decision right to go.

PSG should act professionally as a top club, they should not be afraid if they lose an important player, they should forget about it and focus on improving themselves so that next season they will still be in good form even without Mbappe, they should not drag themselves into decline because they lost this important figure. even though PSG has sufficient finances to buy another top striker to replace Mbappe and there are several stickers associated with PSG. Hopefully the player who replaces Mbappe can contribute as much as Mbappe did.
