La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[kawetsriyanto]

So do you think Joselu will remain a Real Madrid player next season?
How confident are you about the possibility of Real Madrid making Joselu permanent?
The two questions above are based on Joselu's contract which will end on June 30 2024 as a loan player from Espanyol. Real Madrid is unlikely to extend Joselu's loan period from Espanyol considering they have already found their target player as a center forward. Joselu is more likely to return to play for Espanyol next season and it is a reality that Real Madrid does not want to extend his contract.

It depends on Real Madrid management. If they want a substituted player for the striker position, they may sign Joselu permanently. Joselu market value is only €5m, Real Madrid only needs to spend a little money to sign him. Joselu already proves that he is useful for Real Madrid. He scored 2 crucial goals in the semi-final against Bayern Munich last season. He became the hero of Real Madrid at that time. I think he deserves to play again with Real Madrid next season. But he must accept to sit on the bench because Mbappe must be the main striker of Real Madrid.

I don't get much information about Real Madrid decision on Joselu whether we wants to sign him permanently or not. There are already some media spreading issues about this, they said Real Madrid will pay €1.5 million for signing Joselu permanently. However, there is still no official statement from Real Madrid management yet.

I think Xavi is talking about facts and the President of Barcelona doesn't like it. I think it is a reality that everyone has to accept that Barcelona is in a financial crisis and Xavi is not getting the players he wants. Even though the President of Barcelona said they had tried to recruit the players Xavi wanted, I can't blame anyone. Xavi wants to make Barcelona much better and restore its glory days but unfortunately Xavi became coach at the wrong time. I think Xavi couldn't continue to watch Barcelona lose and he expressed his frustration to the media.

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta and the board are working effortlessly to ensure the club's expenditures next season is spent on important features, we're talking about features that will elevate the club's stats and improvements in all essential sectors.

The former headcoach for Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez did his best when he was manager for Barcelona but unfortunately for him, the crisis rise up and his hands were tied, he had only one option and that's taking the exit door from Camp Nou.

I knew it, that Barcelona president will not allow the team to continue remain in a low performance in the la Liga league competition next season, because Barcelona has the opportunity to win la Liga  title in this season but they missed it at the end of the tournament.  I think, Barcelona need more new players if their president can approve the funds for their manager to carry out a good research to sign in squads that will make the team to perform well next season, and it will make their president to be happy with the results they are going to achieve next season. I still have confidence on that Barcelona manager to lead the team to win champion league title, because it will be difficult for Barcelona to win la Liga league title next season because Real Midred will not allow such mistake to happen base on their new squads they added to their team.

Barcelona of old is not this one. Every thing is a complete catastrophe. Xavi appeals to me. Its clear that he is a winner. But with this squad? It needs more than a coach. It has to be totally rebuilt. Money thrown at the issue will not make it better. You must have an idea. Has Hansi Flick? Good coach, sure. He isnt walking on water, though. You cant expect miracles. Im not betting on any trophies until this team improves both in and out of the field. Champions League? Forget about it.

Barcelona has a squad of good players, they have the quality to win the league and even win the European Champions League, if even Dortmund reached the final of the European Champions League, why couldn't Barcelona reach the final? Barcelona's squad is much better than Dortmund's squad. In last season's Champions League, Inter reached the final where they played against Manchester City, and if we compare Barcelona's squad with Inter's squad, we will see that Barcelona's squad is better. So why doesn't Barcelona reach the final of the European Champions League?

The answer to that question is very simple: Barcelona lack a good coach. If they took Guardiola now and put him at Barcelona with this current squad, we would see Barcelona reaching the final of the European Champions League at least. Because Guardiola is a good coach, he has a style of play that suits Barcelona. Barcelona's big problem has always been the wrong choices made by coaches who have brought in players with very different playing styles and the team has become a mess. Xavi, for example, always kept changing the starting eleven because he still didn't have a clear idea of ​​what the starting eleven would be. It was only this season that he started to have more consistency in the starting eleven.



Before, he used Raphinha, JoãoFeliz and Robert Lewandowski in the starting 11, he brought good results for a while, then the bad results came and he switched again to Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal to see if the attack could score goals. this combination worked and he left it that way until the end of the season. I think that if Barcelona had a good coach, someone very experienced, they would have good results

We haven't really seen any problems in Real Madrid's attack, so Mbappe will be just another player for Ancelotti to rely on in attack. This could make it even more difficult for Joselu to get game time, but that is not something Anceloti will be worried about. Mbappe quickly adapted when he moved from Monaco to PSG, perhaps a transfer to Real Madrid will happen just as easily for him, especially since he really wanted it.

So do you think Joselu will remain a Real Madrid player next season?

Joselu is more likely to return to play for Espanyol next season and it is a reality that Real Madrid does not want to extend his contract.

In a news I read, it was said that the purchase option would be used for Joselu. I don't see any sense in Real Madrid keeping 35-year-old Joselu in the team after acquiring Mbappe. I think Joselu should be sent from the team, he is no longer needed. His one season for Real Madrid will remain a fond memory.

Joselu could be a good backup for Mbappe, but nothing is known about his future; however, I think Real Madrid needs to permanently hire him. Rumours about him arise: the first is that Madrid will not extend Jose a contract to remain in Real Madrid; the second is that Madrid has handed him a one-year contract extension offer to Jose. 
Though he is 34 years old, Joselu is still performing rather brilliantly; moreover, Joselu was a hero for Madrid last season. Joselu's low price will also help Real Madrid not incur any financial burden. Although Madrid is not currently working on signing him permanently, I think once the summer transfer season starts, Madrid will decide Joselu's future.

Glad I am not the only one who noticed that everything have changed for Barcelona and I really cannot figure out what it is. By quality of players, they have a wonderful squad that can match any team but the result is not showing. See the way the performed so bad last season with no major trophy and even fighting Girona to retain the second position. What I find so confusing is the fact that Xavi could not do the magic. He was part of the Barcelona team that did wonderfully well and won good trophies in the past so if there is anyone that is best for the team, it ought to be him. But it seems he has not been able to build a team that is physically and mentally ready to push Barcelona to the strong and feared team they used to be.

[legendbtc]

We cannot know the truth behind it, Laporta is at the boundary between hero and saboteur in Barcelona's history. Laporta is suffering from a bad reputation when he and his associates use every means to pressure some of the team's players. and legends of the team. Barcelona "is treating legends like Ronald Koeman, Lionel Messi and Xavi very badly. Laporta was the one who indirectly pushed Messi out of the Nou Camp after financial problems that could not be resolved. And Xavi's pain when the team he had been with for a long time fired him. What Laporta is doing is no different from mortgaging his reputation to get through the current life and death period. If he successfully saves Barcelona through this incident, Laporta deserves a statue. On the contrary, if they fail, the gambles of the past few months could leave Laporta with a permanent bad reputation.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid's problem is on the front line, since the departure of KArim Benzema they have not found a suitable replacement and now Mbappe has come to fill this vacancy, so Mbappe is the player that Real Madrid has wanted the most for the last two seasons.
Regarding Mbappe's adaptation to Real Madrid, of course he didn't have any difficulties and it took a long time to do that. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and he should know what he has to do.

Regarding Joselu, we all know that Joselu is not Real Madrid's main player, even last season before Mbappe arrived he also did not get a main place, so next season will be the same.
Joselu was prepared by Real Madrid to be a back-up and he was very effective as seen last season

Since Benzema's departure from Real Madrid to Ittihad, Real Madrid has not found a suitable replacement, but of course Real Madrid is very lucky to have a coach like Ancelotti because since Benzema left, so far Ancelotti has succeeded in making Real Madrid champions even without Benzema.

Yes, now with the presence of Mbappe, of course there is a good position for Mbappe to replace Benzema, but of course, before Mbappe joined Real Madrid, Ancelotti had actually succeeded in creating a good formation and strategy. and of course, with Mbappe's presence, Ancelotti will have the potential to put him in a suitable place for Mbappe. Yes, of course now it can be said that Mbappe deserves to replace Benzema.

Yes, as one of the best players in the world, Mbappe will definitely adapt easily to Real Madrid and of course now the Real Madrid squad is complete. Of course Joselu has been great all this time and indeed he cannot be compared to Benzema but of course he has done extraordinary things. Yes, Ancelotti will definitely have the potential to put Mbappe in Joselu's place, but of course we'll see in the coming season, but what is certain is that Ancelotti will make the best syrategy.

[Sebas.tian]

I'm sure Ancelotti has a formula that he will formulate for the squad he has now, some changes I think will happen, especially when they attack. Some players may return to their original positions and there may be players who he will rotate, but one thing that is certain is that he will continue to apply and maximize the style of play where when they make quick counter attacks, it is a weapon for Real Madrid which reaches Currently in my opinion they are the club holding the best fast counter attacks.

With the squad Real Madrid is still retaining, it is a fact that they will still be the best in counter attack especially when it comes to the champions league competition. Ancelotti has held a very big role coaching the big team Real Madrid and it will continue to favour them for years to come even when he retires now. Ancelotti is a very tactical coach and that can be seen from his success so far he has attained with the team. Rotating and changing players position will still be for the best of the club and i trust in his ability to do the best for the club.

If you watch Real Midred match closely, you will know that their manager know what it will bring to the team if they can retain all those players to be part of the team next season, and it will going to make the team more stronger than before, because they will like to display well to make their manager happy again. You can see that another potential striker has joined the team to make the team more stronger which there are some evidence that Mbappe  will going to perform excellently well to make Real Midred to win the la Liga league title again, because their defense and midfield are well organized for their strikers to perform well next season. Based on what happened in la Liga league competition and champion league competition for Real Midred to embraced titles, show that Real Midred manager is a potential manager that will continue to make Real Midred fans happy.

[Hirose UK]

Flick will definitely do his best for his team so they can compete well next season. no one knows what will happen next season, maybe Flick can make Barcelona strong even with the minimum number of players, but to dominate La Liga I'm not sure. but what Flick has to do is he can make Barcelona return to its glory days even though it is difficult.

For now I am sure that will not happen and is very impossible.
Anyone who still believes Barcelona will return to its glory days, I'm sure they are big fans of this team but for me, I really doubt if Flick can make big achievements just with free players or only existing players.

If it is only in the Spanish football competition then there is still possibility that Barcelona will be able to achieve success with its new coach, but who knows when that will happen because for the 2024/25 season, which is Hansi Flick first season, it is impossible for Barcelona to recover.
Actually they have quite good players, but it still not enough and several players also left this summer, like it or not they have to struggle with what they have.
Barcelona will obviously not be able to bring in players with fairly expensive purchase price, but they have the opportunity to borrow or exchange players, this can save more expenses in conditions of financial problems.

Moreover, currently several team have improved their performance by bringing in several great players, this is clearly threat for Hansi Flick to achieve success this season.
But we have to see after the 2024/25 season is finished, if he is still retained there is good chance for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

Yes, as one of the best players in the world, Mbappe will definitely adapt easily to Real Madrid and of course now the Real Madrid squad is complete. Of course Joselu has been great all this time and indeed he cannot be compared to Benzema but of course he has done extraordinary things. Yes, Ancelotti will definitely have the potential to put Mbappe in Joselu's place, but of course we'll see in the coming season, but what is certain is that Ancelotti will make the best syrategy.

Even though many people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics, he seems to know how to rotate his players correctly and Mbappe has enough playing time so he doesn't need to adapt for too long, it seems he will play the game as usual, only he has to follow the strategy and tactics given by Ancelotti, Madrid will not lack good players so they will easily rotate players without having to use second layer players whose performance may be below average but Madrid has many players in the second layer who may also have better abilities than the team other.

Ancelotti will probably put Mbappe on the front line as a striker and Ancelotti also knows how to put Joselu and Mbappe there, the point is to win and collect points to stay at the top of the Laliga standings next season, for them it is important to be able to win Laliga next season after That's a focus on the UCL which is also important for them to compete for, I can't wait to see Mbappe's debut playing in Madrid next season, whether he will adapt quickly and perform better or not. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint all Madrid fans.

Real Madrid is unlikely to extend Joselu's loan period from Espanyol considering they have already found their target player as a center forward. Joselu is more likely to return to play for Espanyol next season and it is a reality that Real Madrid does not want to extend his contract.

In my own opinion, I'd say no, No! I don't see them giving him the contract extension he'll be looking for. He was that man I expected him to be and Jude Bellingham came up to be in his place becoming the false nine for Real Madrid when Joselu should have been doing that.

Also, if he stays, he'll definitely lack game time because, the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Endrick, Àrda Guler and Brahim Diaz are all youngins who want to play as well fight for their place. Same goes with Rodrygo. With all these players, I think they won't be considering extending the contract.

You're correct, you have said it exactly the way I have it upstairs.... Enough youngins developing and hungry for success would make everything difficult and if they happen to retain him, it means these younger lads have to go out on loan.

[len01]

Yes, as one of the best players in the world, Mbappe will definitely adapt easily to Real Madrid and of course now the Real Madrid squad is complete. Of course Joselu has been great all this time and indeed he cannot be compared to Benzema but of course he has done extraordinary things. Yes, Ancelotti will definitely have the potential to put Mbappe in Joselu's place, but of course we'll see in the coming season, but what is certain is that Ancelotti will make the best syrategy.

Even though many people say that Ancelotti is poor in tactics,

Whoever says Ancelotti tactics are bad, tell whoever it is about the results Madrid achieved last season and we will see how Ancelotti really understands the right tactics or strategy to continue fighting in the UCL and even in La Liga.
Let's see again how Ancelotti had to rotate players when facing Bayern Munich, Joselu came on in the second half to get 2 winning scores and that was one of the tactics given by Ancelotti.
I just wonder why anyone still doubts Ancelotti.

Madrid will not lack good players so they will easily rotate players without having to use second layer players whose performance may be below average but Madrid has many players in the second layer who may also have better abilities than the team other.

No, Madrid still needs second string players and it is really necessary to rotate players when they have to divide the match schedule in La Liga and in the UCL.
Any strongest team will still need second string players to maintain the physical and fitness of the main players so they don't experience fatigue or get injury problems and you will also remember that as the semi finals approached, Ancelotti often used second string players when competing in La Liga even though he had have Mbappe but second tier players are very important for Ancelotti.

Ancelotti will probably put Mbappe on the front line as a striker and Ancelotti also knows how to put Joselu and Mbappe there

More precisely, Mbappe will be the main player and Joselu will be the reserve player.
So Ancelotti has many options and doesn't need to worry about this because he has many ways to ensure that the quality of Madrid performance remains stable.

[Ahli38]

In a news I read, it was said that the purchase option would be used for Joselu. I don't see any sense in Real Madrid keeping 35-year-old Joselu in the team after acquiring Mbappe. I think Joselu should be sent from the team, he is no longer needed. His one season for Real Madrid will remain a fond memory.

In fact, Joselu's contract as a player on loan from Espanyol to Real Madrid will expire at the end of this month. It's just that I also heard the news that Real Madrid is ready to make this player permanent. but that's just a rumor. Because Joselu himself said in an interview that he still doesn't know his fate at Real Madrid. And he seemed to realize that he probably wouldn't be needed there anymore.

Because actually next season, apart from Mbappe, we will also see one of the talented young players who will start playing for Real Madrid when he turns 18 years old. He is Endrick. And in July, Endrick will be 18 years old. So it can be said that Real Madrid will have 2 new strikers, namely Mbappe and Endrick. So Joselu's position is really uncertain, even as a second tier player. And from the start, Real Madrid brought in Joselu just to fill the void left by Benzema. And now there is a figure who can fill Benzema's position, namely Mbappe. So, even though Joselu is a good player, Real Madrid has no reason to keep Joselu there permanently. Unless Real Madrid are still not sure about Endrick. So Joselu might be considered to be retained for another season.

[Xcode7]

Glad I am not the only one who noticed that everything have changed for Barcelona and I really cannot figure out what it is. By quality of players, they have a wonderful squad that can match any team but the result is not showing. See the way the performed so bad last season with no major trophy and even fighting Girona to retain the second position. What I find so confusing is the fact that Xavi could not do the magic. He was part of the Barcelona team that did wonderfully well and won good trophies in the past so if there is anyone that is best for the team, it ought to be him. But it seems he has not been able to build a team that is physically and mentally ready to push Barcelona to the strong and feared team they used to be.

I don't think so, the squad in the current Barcelona team is not capable and in fact I think with what they have it is not yet worthy to compete for the La Liga title or Champions League.
And Xavi doesn't deserve to be blamed for Barcelona's decline, in fact Xavi has made a lot of good efforts, but this team doesn't have enough money to bring in lots of quality players, now Barcelona is just trying to build a team with a limited squad, this will be quite difficult.

[Obim34]

It is hard to believe that we can get the kind of Barcelona  team we knew back then, players are no longer up to that standard and I see the team trying to adapt more like the English teams which is not what we are used to. We ought to believe that this period is more of a rejuvenation era, much is expected from them not just by existing on past glory, it's enough time for them to become pros and execute opponents like we saw back then.

Xavi can do the job, he understands the game and a lot about Barcelona pattern, so our hopes are still on him to assure better results coming season.

Hoselu was a reserve player without this, and now it is possible even Rodrigo will be likely to become a player in a bench, or will play in the second half. For many teams, the schedule is very tense, but they cope with the main squard, although the depth of the bench is important for any team.

Each coach always has two problems, it is either the lack of depths of the bench, or many players of the high level in the bench, and it seems to me that every coach dreams that he has a second problem, because his team will always be stronger and have more opportunities . Not a single coach will leave such a player as Mbappe on a bench, the same applies to Vinicius.

Xavi did his best for Barcelona and he managed the players even when they were lacking finance, and they were still able to finish second in the Laliga. They also performed well in UCL, which I think is a good result and Xavi should be given kudos.

A new coach has taken over because of the sentiment between Xavi and Barcelona management exposing the club of facing financial difficulties. That will not change the challenges Barcelona is facing currently, because new players are needed in the club to strengthen the club and improve their performance for next season.

[topbitcoin]

Everything just has to be determined as the season progresses, because after all what we are discussing now is only speculation from what we see from the statistics and seeing the movements that occur from player transfers and club reshuffles that are carried out.

As for the issue of dominance and who will succeed in getting the trophy, of course we have to look at the performance in the current season because that is what ultimately determines who can stand as champion next season.
Indeed, in terms of probability, it is certain that Madrid will be a club that is difficult to stop and make it possible to get back the trophy, but on the other hand, it is still possible for things to be different because after all we cannot rule out other clubs even though their probability is below Madrid for now.
I still hope that Madrid will continue to play well and win trophies, but being too proud from the start also cannot be justified in the end, so we just need to wait for the season to arrive and see Madrid's performance later.

I think that is a bit of a known thing already if you ask me. I mean I am not saying that Real Madrid would possibly never have a chance, sure they may have a chance to not be great, but how slim is that chance? They would need to have all their great stars injured. I think it is quite clear that we are seeing the current situation a bit before the season starts, they are just so dominant that we are going to see them destroy every team they are going to face, and that should not be an issue at all, it would be quite possible to see that.

The best thing to do right now would be just letting it be and not seeing anything shocking about them, it is going to be quite normal and not going to be all that bad for them, they will beat everyone and win the league with a lot of point difference.

It is precisely with the existence of Madrid who like now I hope other clubs can be to find new alternatives in terms of performance so that La Liga surprises always occur.

Seeing from the current situation we can see that Madrdi's plan is the most mature for La Liga because they have a lot of a long time where players, coaches and money are enough so that they will definitely be the only club ready to look next season from the beginning.

This is not accompanied by other clubs where their rivals who still have a lot of internal problems owned or several black horse clubs last season could have not been able to move and perform the same performance because of difficulties in preparation for next season.
Now his hope is clear that with Madrid's strong dominance and probability now, when they are not given pressure from now on, it will be a problem when the season continues because surely Madrid will run alone.

[bering]

In a news I read, it was said that the purchase option would be used for Joselu. I don't see any sense in Real Madrid keeping 35-year-old Joselu in the team after acquiring Mbappe. I think Joselu should be sent from the team, he is no longer needed. His one season for Real Madrid will remain a fond memory.

In fact, Joselu's contract as a player on loan from Espanyol to Real Madrid will expire at the end of this month.

Unless Real Madrid are still not sure about Endrick. So Joselu might be considered to be retained for another season.

Joselu has received several offers from some of big clubs in Europa and one of them is Manchester United but he will give his main priority for Real Madrid which mean if Real Madrid is really want to permanent his status then he would be very glad to accept it but indeed Joselu has realize that his status is only as substutition player for Vinicius or Rodrygo so he will try to thinking more realistic because it's hard to compete with star players in this team especially after the arrival of Mbappe and if Real Madrid don't want to permanent his status then Joselu will accept the offers from other clubs

Indeed Real Madrid has Endrick but i think it is too risky to rely on this player for front lines because he is still lack of experience in Laliga moreover Endrick age is still 17 years old so sometimes the player in this age still hard to managed their consistency so Real Madrid is still required experience player for their front lines and this season Joselu has scores 17 goals in all competitions i think these records is very impressive considering his status as substutition player and in my opinion Real Madrid should be permanent his status because sometimes Joselu can being an supersubs and scores important goals for Real Madrid

Can't believe you Stake posters are still yamming on in this thread lol.

And yet in the last page I don't see many of you if at all joining paid competitions. You guys really following Spanish football or just posting here for the sake of it?

Oh and welcome back Espanyol! Catalunya!!

I don't think so, the squad in the current Barcelona team is not capable and in fact I think with what they have it is not yet worthy to compete for the La Liga title or Champions League.
And Xavi doesn't deserve to be blamed for Barcelona's decline, in fact Xavi has made a lot of good efforts, but this team doesn't have enough money to bring in lots of quality players, now Barcelona is just trying to build a team with a limited squad, this will be quite difficult.

The current Barcelona squad is still far behind compared to the Real Madrid squad, the player material that Barcelona has cannot provide competition in La Liga and the Champions League because there are still deficiencies in several lines. Barcelona is trying to find solutions to patch up every weakness in its squad, but its financial strength is so weak that it makes it difficult for Barcelona to bring in quality players.
Barcelona decline is not Xavi fault, he has worked hard to improve Barcelona performance by utilizing young players, he also succeeded in bringing Barcelona the La Liga trophy and finishing in second place this season. It's true, due to Barcelona current financial crisis making it difficult for their performance to develop, now Barcelona is rebuilding the team after Xavi was replaced by Hansi Flick.
