La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Velvet78]

What do you say about Sevilla? Their future really doesn't look good at all honestly.    The last time I saw them having a good finish was the 2021/2022 season. Since then we have seen a huge downfall. First finishing at the 12th position and now even worse, 14th. If they continue like this next time they can find themselves fighting out of the relegation zone.

I feel like one of the main factors in this is their changing managers too often. They don't give their manager enough time to have the system work better. I still think they were unfair to Mendilibar for example. Sacking him after winning a Europa League title was just insane!

Sevilla was wrong in carrying out a strategy in the previous 2 seasons where they sold several Kounde-caliber players which actually made the defense situation less well controlled and indeed their performance in the last 2 seasons was not like those who were always in a troublesome dark horse club besides that, indeed the constraints of the coaching problem also became a very complicated situation for them which made for next season if in the end they could not make a difference to performance then I think the situation remains the same where they will only struggle in the middle standings and could even be in the lower standings with their conditions like this.

Bringing in Sergio also ultimately did not have a very good impact because Sergio's prime had run out in Madrid so for next season I don't think we can still expect much from Sevilla. Especially with their financial condition which is not very good and with a performance that is still irregular, this will make the situation more difficult than expected for them.

What really happen to Sevilla? They used to be one of the top clubs in La Liga bit it turns out they're fighting for a spot to stay in La Liga which is pretty rough for such an elite team. Next season, I would urge the players to boost their performance and confidence because it's definitely not going to be an easy one, buckled up and face the challenges flowing in should be their priorities. Something goes wrong for Sevilla management, they've fought really hard but it turns out they've made the wrong decisions. Sacking managers earlier without these managers having a round about the club.

Glad to see that ancelotti opens possibility for kroos to come back in the squad if he wanted after europe 2024. It's fully explained on his interview.

Yet Ancelotti has consistently lamented his decision, while also praising his courage to take it when he did. However speaking to Il Giornale (via Diario AS), he revealed that he had mentioned to Kroos about the possibility of a return.

“Luka is a unique example of quality and professionalism. Unfortunately, Kroos decided to stop, he is a German in his decisions, but he will continue living in Madrid. I told him that if he changes his stance in autumn, we start again with a call.”

https://www.football-espana.net/2024/06/10/real-madrid-manager-carlo-ancelotti-opens-door-to-toni-kroos-comeback-after-euros

Ancellotti has an enormous amount of respect for veterans like Kroos and Modric, who have dedicated their entire lives to playing for Real Madrid since they were moved from their old clubs to the real madrid. If Tony Kroos wants to rejoin Real Madrid, all he has to do is call and ancellotti will be very open to accept him again. It appears that Ancellotti was still thinking he would stay at Real Madrid. Kroos made a horrible decision by leaving the club.

He can stay in Real Madrid for another season, but I doubt he'll come back. Legend is very different. I'm hoping for a miracle to happen that convinces Kroos to rejoin Real Madrid even though the chance is very damn small atm.

Toni Kroos has been decided to retired as a player after defend Germany National Team in Euro 2024 and that's his final decision and in Real Madrid he was ended his career with happy ending because Toni Kroos can gets Champion League trophy for the last time and it could be very fantastic too if with Germany Toni Kroos can being an the champion of Euro 2024 and for the current tournament Germany as a host and their status also as one of the favourite Champion
And regarding his chances to return to Real Madrid indeed after Euro 2024 ended he thinking possibility to rejoin with Real Madrid again but unfortunately Toni Kroos will joining to Real Madrid not as a player because this summer Real Madrid asking him personally to became an the coach of Real Madrid youth academy

I read a report today where Carlo Ancelotti said that if Toni Kroos decides to change his mind and come out of retirement, he'll be very happy to welcome him back to the Real Madrid. After reading that report,  I concluded that there might be some behind the scene arrangement for Toni Kroos to continue playing for the club but at a second thought, I concluded that it'll definitely not be possible for Toni Kroos to come back to the club. Toni Kroos in my own opinion have won everything he's supposed to win as a player and now that he's announced his retirement, it'll not be an honorable thing to return back again.
The Germany international is currently with the national team as he's prepared to play in the UEFA Euros Championship with his national team and after that, he'll finally retire from football. If there's anything that'll bring him back to Real Madrid, I think it'll be to come and understudy from Carlo Ancelotti in others to become a future manager

There are rumours in some blogs about him returning, I'm not sure if that's a clickbait to generate traffic but I don't think he go to that length to make everyone emotional for leaving the club and then decide to change his mind later. If there was going to be a change of mind, he would have done it probably when they won the Champions League because of the nostalgic feelings but man was stand still with his emotions but on a second thought, if Modric who is 38 is struggling to keep his slot with Real Madrid, Kroos who is 34 retired early in his career.

Real Madrid isn't a family club but a club who take along who is ready to die for the  team, Anceloti already had some fresh midfielders and more will come for sure, so I don't think Kroos is coming back as a player but as a supporting person which was what they were trying to give to Modric but he was adamant to keep fit a little more but I'm sure that this is going to be his last season as a player definitely, he needs to rest and focus on his family.

The club there really doesn't give much time to each coach who comes. Even though all of that will only make the club continue to return to Zero. because every new coach will bring new plans and strategies. And the Sevilla squad must continue to adapt to this, making them even worse. An example of a similar case is Chelsea last season when they changed coaches several times in one season and the result was that they only finished in 12th place due to changing coaches too often at that time. And then this season, Napoli did the same thing which made them only finish in 10th place in Serie A. And in La Liga, Sevilla has also been doing the same thing since last season. And yes, it's natural that this team also gets bad results. Maybe if the club keeps Mendilibar there longer then this team can improve this season. Unfortunately Mendilibar wasn't given much time there either.

I was actually thinking that Real Madrid is going to get a new coach and  Ancelotti is probably not going to get to work with Mbappé. But I actually forgot that he has extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026. And we all know that he is a very good coach. Even though he sometimes makes weird decisions, it ends up working in favor of him. A lot of people and even me actually thought that this was luck. But at this point, this is definitely not luck and he is actually making calculative decisions. Real Madrid in the next season is going to be absolutely incredible and probably unstoppable as well. With his coaching and a squad like that, with Mbappé at the front, Real Madrid is going to dominate La Liga for sure. And probably even the Champions League competition as well.

I hope so, but let us wait for Mbappe's debut. I am interested about how good he will be at his debut match in Madrid. People can't wait to see Mbappe in the friendly match. We may witness Mbappe in a different form after being taught by Ancellotti like what happened to the bellingham which had changed drastically after ancellotti coached him.
Barcelona is suffering a setback as its financial issues were not even resolved and yet again another problem is coming up for barcelona. The dilemma has returned for Barcelona, as the league has issued an ultimatum for the club to raise more than 100 million euros in order to register new players.

It is apparent that Barcelona will struggle in the La Liga for some years. Flick may be feeling difficulties in implementing his strategy. Barcelona may need to change its philosophy in order to comply with flick's strategy.

I mean financial mistakes made them get there, it's nothing else. It was their own doom that they spent so much money on transfers, and not like that was enough, instead of fixing their problem, they sold their future revenue to buy some more players now, which is as silly as it gets.

You do not spend the money you do not even have, and get more debt for the future when you are in trouble, you learn to cut back on your expenses and try to learn to be better. They have some young great players, sell all the older ones, and just keep the cheap salary young ones, and when they grow older, sell those too, in about 5 years they could become a team with zero debt at all, but they are refusing to use the solution they can, and instead they put themselves in bigger trouble.

There are some decisions that we sometimes don't understand about what Ancelotti wants to do but he can always turn it into something positive in the end. For example, last season when some of their defenders could not appear due to injuries that even took months to heal such as Militao or Courtois but indeed the situation that occurred was that Ancelotti strengthened the midfield by bringing in Arda at that time and firmly said that they would not look for defenders because they had enough stock which ended up Camavinga and Tchouameni getting positions that were not their most comfortable places but played well. In addition, this season he also changed Jude from an attacking midfielder to a second striker and even a goal-getter but that too went with positive results.

Although many people say that Ancelotti is a tactically poor coach but in the end with the schemes he has always done to date it works very well and he is one of the genius coaches because he knows what he has to do in the squad he coaches.

Too often hiring new managers will reduce player performance, I know there is a correlation. However, in my opinion, Sevilla not only has problems in management, but they also have problems in squad depth. Teams that are not competitive usually have poor squad depth or at least not better than others. This must be reviewed and improved, but Sevilla likely does not have much money to build its squad.

Sevilla is usually a well-ranked team in La Liga, but in recent seasons their performance has declined. Not giving the new coach much time may also be one reason, but the depth of the squad is not ideal is the reason behind all that. If Sevilla want to get back in contention, then they need to build a better squad since now.

Another mistake is that they also let potential players leave because since 2 seasons ago there were several star players who left such as Kounde to Barcelona, Rakitic and Bono who went to the SPL which made this difficult because they always dismantled players even though their previous players who were stars were very unfortunate to leave.

This season I don't expect much for them. Each of their lines needs improvement in terms of players because there are so many gaps that they face. Their defense is chaotic even though in normal formation they always put 5 defenders. Their midfield always fails to fight and their attack is quite deadlocked plus they brought in Mariano Diaz who even when at Madrid he was not used at all.
I still feel that with Sevilla's current financial condition with their scheme remaining the same in the end they will not do much and their performance will remain the same as this season.

This is what happens when a particular club is unfair to their coaches,the team will definitely have a massive fall.The board doesn't know what it means to keep a good coach,they had one in Medidlibar but they didn't give him time to amend things when things went out of hand.They were too quick to take actions and it is that actions that is affecting them now.
They will continue to be like this untill they decide to higher someone who will take just two seasons to get them a better result,and those type of coaches are very few now.The good ones have their clubs.

There must be problems in management. They cannot make the right decisions and this is how they see the league position of a team with a history of success like Sevilla. In my opinion, it is time to hand over the seat. Sevilla, which we are used to seeing in the top 5 in La Liga, is worried that it will be in the bottom 5 in recent years. I think they should do something urgently to solve this problem.

Dismissing managers and not giving them enough time will definitely ruined things for the club. Sevilla have suffered this season and previous, it's high time the club's management start settling in important features for the club's growth. Sevilla are no longer referred to be the fierce club in the Europa League that brings threat to both mediocre and elite teams. They're more like mediocre club's and winning is second alternative for them.

Yes that's right. There is something wrong with the internal management of the Sevilla club so that it can slump like this. Even when they won the Europa last season, then finished 14th in La Liga this season, it indicated that something was wrong with Sevilla. Luckily, Sevilla this season is not in the relegation zone. If they were relegated it would certainly be dark history for Sevilla. The reason is, the Sevilla club is listed as the king of the Europa League.

However, if you look at the mistakes made by Sevilla this season, apart from bad management, they also let go of several important Sevilla players, which has had an impact on their performance this season, even though materially the players are not bad and many new players have arrived. However, this was not enough to help increase the team's confidence, from the start of the season to the end of the season.

I still really hope that Sevilla will show their best performance again so they can compete at the top of the La Liga standings again next season. Sevilla has many things to fix next season, they have to bring in several players who have potential and the players' mentality has to be revived so that their confidence can return to being one of the strong teams in Laliga. Moreover, next season they will not compete in the European league, so they can concentrate fully on Laliga.

Maybe the strategy they used last season was still not good, causing them to end up in the top 14 of the standings. But don't give up on Sevilla, as long as they are still safe from the relegation zone, there is still a chance to try again with a better strategy. Adding good players and using a newer formation might have the potential to make Sevilla enter the top ten next season. Quique Sánchez Flores must try harder and not stay in his comfort zone because that way he will not attract investors and provide support to Sevilla again.

I don't think Sevilla will find a solution with just a coach. In Sevilla, the team needs to undergo a complete renewal. The average age is very high and the players may have difficulty adjusting to the intense tempo of La Liga. If they want to be more assertive next year, they have to rejuvenate the team this year.

Real Madrid's Lalliga tittle and Champions league tittle win this season is one that everybody was expecting because of the way they played.They showed their strength from the beginning of the season till the season ended.They were both actively involved in both the Champions league and the Lalliga.The Lalliga was a sure win for them because Barcelona lacked that competitiveness this season,and allowed Real Madrid and Girona to continue fighting for the tittle,till Girona gave up for Barca to take their position,but in the champions league,I thought since Mancity and Madrid were to meet,that was going to end them,but as they were able to eliminate City,I just knew the tittle was going to be theirs.

That's what clubs do when they start making wrong decisions, it will affect their performance and slowly affect their finances because income decreases due to lack of performance so it wouldn't be surprising if without improvement Sevilla could become one of the teams that was relegated, they were just lucky last season to survive.

Maybe the strategy they used last season was still not good, causing them to end up in the top 14 of the standings.

Adding good players certainly requires money and Sevilla has reportedly also experienced financial problems since they won the European league several seasons ago.

Hansi Flick existence has increased fans expectations. It is hoped that his success with Bayern Munich can be transmitted to Barcelona, ​​although we all realize that this is not an easy job. Barcelona main challenge for success next season is Real Madrid, only great luck can lead Barcelona to win the trophy. Real Madrid has built a star studded squad, something Barcelona has been unable to do due to the financial crisis. However, in my opinion, Barcelona will remain a team capable of pressing Real Madrid at the top of the standings, they are used to being under pressure even though they are currently faced with a difficult situation.

In the 2020-2021 season, Hansi Flick has succeeded in making Bayern champions and Barcelona fans definitely hope that Hansi Flick can make Barcelona perform even better in the coming season. Yes, it is not an easy job for Hansi Flick because when Barcelona is in poor financial condition it will certainly make it difficult for Hansi Flick to make Barcelona better than the previous season. However, I see that Hansi Flick is a really good coach because I read on the internet that he came to work before the work schedule that was set, so he is really serious about making Barcelona better than the previous season.

Yes, it is only great luck that will make Barcelona emerge as LaLiga champions next season, but of course it is very difficult because Real Madrid's squad is getting stronger because of the addition of Mbappe, who has now joined Real Madrid.

but we really can't underestimate Barcelona because Barcelona is still a strong team, the proof is that this season (2023-2024) Barcelona managed to finish in 2nd place. Well, let's see what Flick will do to make Barcelona perform well in the coming season. .
