La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[bitLeap]

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.

It would be a bit surprising to blame Xavi completely when Barcelona itself is unable to improve its finances. Because Xavi is only a coach and has no control over access to managing the club's finances, the first person to blame is Laporta, the person responsible up to this moment for why Barcelona is so unable to compete in both La Liga and the Champions League. I think it's a fact that even sacking Xavi would have been much better because then Xavi would be free from a club that couldn't develop at all. Barcelona will still have difficulty competing, no matter how good the players they have, if the main foundation for maintaining the club's existence is not repaired, it will only reopen old and new problems that will never end.

Will Hansi Flick receive criticism from Barcelona fans if he fails to win a trophy next season, and will Hansi Flick be fired like Xavi if he fails, and what are his chances of bringing Barcelona to success in his two seasons in charge. Such questions will continue to arise in all of our minds, which is clearly not an easy job.

Two seasons is a very short time to bring Barcelona back to being an elite European club, resolve various chaos within the team, and gather world class players in one lineup. Hansi Flick needs more time to be able to make Barcelona have equal strength with eternal rivals Madrid.

On the other hand, even though Barcelona is facing complex problems, I think Hansi Flick has the opportunity to bring Barcelona to finish in the runner-up position in the La Liga standings, and can lead Barcelona to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League like last season. Let's see how Hansi Flick prepares his fleet to face the competition in its first season.

Its will happening for Hansi Flick receiving criticism from Barcelona fans if get failure on the first season, I don't know how possibility with management and Barcelona fans give huge pressure for every manager but not support good financial for transfer new players.
Recently Xavi Hernandez got huge pressure from fans after failure winning any tittles yet in this season but he won La Liga trophy last season but most of fans blame with Xavi achievement get winner without support financial.

Not matter how experienced and top head coach for Barcelona if get financial difficult not easy for winning La Liga or Champion League trophy, get promote academy players to senior team need progress and develop around two season later or more but Barcelona's fans expected with their team get achievement instant without waiting process.
Seems next season Barcelona achievement stuck only as runner up standings position and their performance in Champion League lead the quarter final is the realistic target.

Apart from all that, I'm sure Mbappe won't have any difficulties in his first season playing for Real Madrid because it looks like he's already friends with Vini and Rodrygo. Now it's just a matter of how he can absorb what Ancelotti will give him through a strategy that will make Real Madrid so dangerous in front of its opponents.

I agree with you in that, the main challenge he will be having at the moment will be with adopting to the style and pattern of ancelotti which he has not been used to before now, the pattern he has been used to at PSG is such that believes more in a gradual growth but with Madrid the narrative may turn out really different and he may have to strat to unlearn and then relearn the new pattern and adopting to the strategy he will be exposed to in Madrid. I expected that the relationship with players at Madrid wouldn't be a challenge to him and that is what seem to be playing out already and I'm seeing it that mbappe is getting along with a few players already.

Real Madrid will be a good place for mbappe to get all his dreams in football come to reality, the relationship between him and the likes of vinicius and rodrygo is one I think was built even before he joined Madrid so it will even become a stronger relationship as he's now part of the team. This will also make it much easier for mbappe to be able to get along with other players in the Madrid squad much easier and better than they would have been if he was to get to know almost every single player only when he joined the team, this will Also bring about the much needed support he will be needing to be efficient in the team.

Apart from it being quite difficult for Barcelona to build a better team next season, Barcelona will also face an unusual adjustment with their new coach. Because next season Barcelona will no longer be coached by Xavi, so there is a lot of effort that Barcelona needs to make in a full season while competing with rivals who are still dominant in La Liga and the Champions League. But we all also have to believe in Barcelona's new coach, who knows, he might be able to turn Barcelona's downturn into a great revival next season.

It can be said that, even with such tough conditions, Barcelona is still able to be in the top 2 of La Liga, even able to beat Atletico Madrid and other big clubs which perhaps don't have this big of a problem. I

Barcelona's current situation is really on the edge, because they have problems that are very difficult to solve easily. What you say is correct, even though they are currently experiencing serious problems, they are still able to be in second place in La Liga and that shows that they still have strong performance. with these limited players, I think Flick must continue to hone the players he has,
..................

And they also continue to try to sign and deal with several players they are targeting. A few days ago, at least Barcelona had a new deal regarding a contract extension which had been approved by Flick and there was already a detailed agreement. Yes, Marc Casado finally got it, an agreement to extend his contract at Barcelona for 4 years until 2028. This young player whose position is a midfielder is still quite young. He said that he made various efforts to get this renewal contract. Meanwhile, Barcelona is still monitoring several other efforts and providing several negotiation proposals for several players, but it won't be easy.

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.

And this has become his decision, in fact, Ancelotti still wants to keep this veteran player, but he wants to set the new chapter in Qatar. He is a loan player, but his role and contribution are no longer in doubt. And in the end, his decision is final that he would leave Real Madrid.

Joan Laporta is the person who is fully responsible for Barcelona long term existence. If he continues to make the wrong decisions, Barcelona will experience a gradual decline in performance. Xavi dismissal still leaves some fans disappointed, expectations for Hansi Flick are also not too high, because everyone is aware of the situation Barcelona is facing. If Hansi Flick receives excessive pressure from club officials and fans, I think the former German national team manager will make the same statement as Xavi. His position as Barcelona new manager is very dilemmatic, because as one of the elite La Liga clubs, Barcelona will always be compared to Real Madrid. It is very likely that problems resulting from the financial crisis will hamper Barcelona development.

Apart from it being quite difficult for Barcelona to build a better team next season, Barcelona will also face an unusual adjustment with their new coach. Because next season Barcelona will no longer be coached by Xavi, so there is a lot of effort that Barcelona needs to make in a full season while competing with rivals who are still dominant in La Liga and the Champions League. But we all also have to believe in Barcelona's new coach, who knows, he might be able to turn Barcelona's downturn into a great revival next season.

Barcelona has entered a new era under the coaching of Hansi Flick and of course we all hope to look back at the glory of Barcelona next season, Xavi dismissal has indeed caused a lot of controversy in many parties and considers what Laporta has done unfair after all his achievements at Barcelona so far, Barcelona reasoned that what was said by Xavi was something sensitive and should not be talked about to the public,  But as we know so far, if indeed all Barcelona problems have become public secrets, so indeed Xavi dismissal should not have been carried out by Barcelona, because Barcelona is indeed developing rapidly with Xavi at this time.

What you said is true, it's time for Barcelona fans to forget about the problem between Xavi and Laporta at the moment, and fans should be able to support Hansi Flick as they have supported Xavi all along, but the question now is whether Hansi Flick will be able to make Barcelona better than what Xavi has been doing so far?
Whether it is admitted or not, but what is certain is that it is very difficult for other coaches to be able to do what Xavi did, because with a makeshift squad and limited finances, of course it is difficult for coaches to be able to maximize their squads to compete in the domestic league and also the Champions League.

It is very likely that problems resulting from the financial crisis will hamper Barcelona development.

Flick was sympathetic to the situation in which Barcelona is, so Laporta has a goodwill towards Flick, and I think that in any case he will not repeat the fate of Xavi. He also did not forget to mention that he is not planning new transfers to show that he understands the complexity of the team’s financial situation. But this is only one side of the coin, because when Xavi left the post of coach, he said that all the new coach would need to do was win, so yes, Laporta needs victories, the more tournaments Barcelona wins, the sooner the club will be able to pay off its debts.

Don't underestimate Barcelona, ​​that's what I always say to anyone even though their rivalry with Real Madrid is no longer as good and tight as in the era of Ronaldo and Messi. Barcelona can still win the title even though they have financial problems, this was proven by Xavi in ​​his second season at Barcelona. So, it is not at all a good choice to underestimate Barcelona and its poor financial condition when this team can play well like they did in the 2022-2023 season.

I realize and admit that Real Madrid has better squad depth than Barcelona, ​​but this is not a 100% guarantee to say that Real Madrid can secure the title. Real Madrid still have to be careful in La Liga because after all their rivals are not only Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid can also sometimes win the title.

Joan Laporta's reign as Barcelona president have taken a new turn since the club started suffering from poor financial strength as that has stopped the club from signing some of the best players in the world. But apart from Barcelona's financial crises that's been a big problem to the club's quest to sign the quality players in their transfer list in the past three to four transfer windows, I also think Barcelona president haven't been good in some of his recent decisions of which the worst of them all is sacking Xavi Hernandez at the end of last season. Barcelona's current condition I don't think would not be good for a manager that doesn't understand the philosophy of the club which is why I think the club's new manager Hansi Flick will find it very difficult to succeed at the Catalonian club.
Xavi Hernandez was able to help Barcelona reach the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition as well as finish in the top three of the Spanish La Liga despite having a lot of issues emanating from injuries to some of the club's most important players and lack of funds to sign his players of choice. Hansi Flick is without doubt a good manager but I think succeeding with the current Barcelona team will be very difficult for the German manager

[Velvet78]

And this has become his decision, in fact, Ancelotti still wants to keep this veteran player, but he wants to set the new chapter in Qatar. He is a loan player, but his role and contribution are no longer in doubt. And in the end, his decision is final that he would leave Real Madrid.

Source: Joselu leaves Real Madrid and he’s set to join Qatari side Al Gharafa, decision made!

Joselu did the best for himself in the remaining part of his career if he didn't have any more target to achieve. He was already 34 years old and a rotation player for Real Madrid. He could have been useful on rotation but it looks like it isn't the thing he wants anymore. Signing for a Qatari team would make him earn lots of more money before retirement. 

After this decision I assume Real Madrid wouldn't just move on to next season without signing a new player there. A decent rotation player for the CF position would be okay. They don't need to spend a lot of money for this transfer.

But we all also have to believe in Barcelona's new coach, who knows, he might be able to turn Barcelona's downturn into a great revival next season.

But even so in terms of actual experience Hansi Flick is certainly better regardless of anything so that with his experience it is hoped that Flick can build a squad that is feasible with their current financial conditions and conditions so that their performance can be better or if it is not possible not at least not worse than last season.

Indeed, this will be a transitional season full of challenges for Flick because after all, with the current situation Flick is faced with the demand to make Barcelona return to its performance and get trophies in very difficult conditions because apart from their finances are not too adequate, their rivals are also currently Madrid are in good confidence especially they are more stable in any case.

So in this case we cannot expect much, we can only see whether with a makeshift squad and minimal finances Flick can do his job well or not.

[tygeade]

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.

I do not think that their second string is that bad, is it? I mean when you look at the whole squad, you can see that they have some very good players, and I believe that they could rotate their roster anytime they want. They do not have any proper striker to be fair, they did get Mbappe but he is normally a left wing, just as vini jr. as well, so they do not really have a striker but they are going to probably use Mbappe there, but when he doesn't play, needs rest, or anything like that, they do not have anyone to replace him which is their issue.

I think if we are going to talk about what they need, a bench striker who would not cause any issues staying at the bench and be happy about it is what they need, if they get that, I would say squad is complete.

Despite Real Midred won this season title, I think Barcelona  still remain a strong team, because they performed what make people to believe in them that next season will going to be a best season for them, because they are still working to strengthen their players to maintain a good position next season. For Barcelona to win the la Liga league title next season, I don't think it will going to happen, because Real Midred will not allow something like that to happen because they have started bring in new players that will make the team more solid to dominate again next season. Even though their managements solve the financial situation for Barcelona, I don't think they will be able to win this title but they can still end up in second position in the la Liga league competition, because they have the potential players that can make them to dominate to achieve such result.

While playing with Real Madrid he has made big contribution to every success and Joselu has always been one of the very important players in the squad built by Ancelotti, his departure will probably leave some impact on Real Madrid in the future.
But for now, maybe Ancelotti can still use other players to fill the void left by Joselu, we know Ancelotti is great coach and he can definitely overcome every condition that Real Madrid is experiencing.
Moreover, finding players who can really be relied on is very difficult and if can do it will definitely have to spend large amount of money because the competition in buying players is always quite tight, Ancelotti definitely has to consider lot if he has to spend excessive amounts of money.

One by one, Real Madrid great players who were starting to get older have really left and now they are left with young players who have great potential, in the future, we can see what the power structure of Real Madrid is like, which as whole is the new generation.
Slowly Ancelotti began to show how he developed young players and this has all been proven by achieving several championships, this also makes it much easier for Real Madrid in the future to be led by new coach when Ancelotti finishes his contract.

But we all also have to believe in Barcelona's new coach, who knows, he might be able to turn Barcelona's downturn into a great revival next season.

If you look at the squad that Barcelona currently has, their performance next season will definitely not be much different from this season. Even though it is true that currently Barcelona has changed coaches, I am sure that next season Barcelona will not experience significant progress. Because of course it takes quite a long time for Barcelona's new coach (Hansi Flick), to adapt and be able to find the best performance for Barcelona. So the biggest possibility is that Barcelona will not experience a significant change in performance next season. But even so, next season Barcelona will definitely still be Real Madrid's competitor for the top position in Laliga. Because even though currently Barcelona does have several obstacles such as financial problems. But still, when compared to other clubs in Laliga (apart from Real Madrid), Barcelona is definitely still superior.

And when it comes to the Champions League next season, it's likely that Barcelona will have a little difficulty getting far. Because it is certain that the competition for the Champions League next season will definitely be fiercer than this season.
Because what is certain is that the big teams that enter the Champions League will definitely perform even better next season. So Barcelona will definitely find it very difficult to keep up with these big teams with the players they currently have.

I think if we are going to talk about what they need, a bench striker who would not cause any issues staying at the bench and be happy about it is what they need, if they get that, I would say squad is complete.

It's wrong. How often did Mbappe play as a left winger rather than a center striker?

The image below says it all.



Mbappe is a non-pure striker whose position is also versatile, and I believe you are forgetting that Real Madrid has a Rodrygo who can also play center striker. When Mbappe is injured and Rodrygo can rotate to replace Mbappe's position as a central striker, Ancellotti can move Brahim Diaz to the right wing. Real Madrid has already completed their puzzle by signing mbappe. I'm not concerned if Mbappe is unable to play, since we have another player who can play in a flexible position. And Madrid has everything it needs to compete next season.

[Bobrox]

Joselu did the best for himself in the remaining part of his career if he didn't have any more target to achieve. He was already 34 years old and a rotation player for Real Madrid.

Seems difference with Joselu position keep staying with Real Madrid for next season after arriving Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, its difficult for him get more minutes playing although as substitutes players because Endrick seems have bigger opportunity than Joselu. I think decision made by Joselu leaving Real Madrid and joining with Qatar teams Al Gharafa is good decision, he will get regular position although not on the top level competition and bigger payment salary receiving than keep stay with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have many players on central forward position for next season, indeed Rodrygo can play well as false nine there are have Mbappe and Endrick with their real position as centracl forward. Its sad to see Joselu leaving Real Madrid because heh had more contribution by scoring two goals in Champion League semifinal against Bayern Munich. Wish the best for Joselu with his decision leaving Real Madrid and he will be second players of Madrid this season leaving after recently Nacho announced will be part for Saudi Pro League team.

Apart from it being quite difficult for Barcelona to build a better team next season, Barcelona will also face an unusual adjustment with their new coach. Because next season Barcelona will no longer be coached by Xavi, so there is a lot of effort that Barcelona needs to make in a full season while competing with rivals who are still dominant in La Liga and the Champions League. But we all also have to believe in Barcelona's new coach, who knows, he might be able to turn Barcelona's downturn into a great revival next season.

Hansi Flick has won several prestigious trophies with Bayern Munich, his experience with the team he has coached will really help Barcelona who are trying to get out of their downturn. Barcelona will try to find a way out to overcome the problems that are happening to them, the financial crisis makes it difficult for them to build a team with quality players.
Hansi Flick has submitted a request to bring in several quality players, Barcelona is trying to find a way to get money to make the coach's wishes come true. Barcelona must give the coach time to build a squad that can provide competition to Real Madrid. His first season may experience some difficulties due to management changes in the coaching department, but all parties must support Flick's efforts to revive Barcelona's quality as a team that can compete in any competition.

[naira]

It would be a bit surprising to blame Xavi completely when Barcelona itself is unable to improve its finances. Because Xavi is only a coach and has no control over access to managing the club's finances, the first person to blame is Laporta, the person responsible up to this moment for why Barcelona is so unable to compete in both La Liga and the Champions League. I think it's a fact that even sacking Xavi would have been much better because then Xavi would be free from a club that couldn't develop at all. Barcelona will still have difficulty competing, no matter how good the players they have, if the main foundation for maintaining the club's existence is not repaired, it will only reopen old and new problems that will never end.

Joan Laporta is the person who is fully responsible for Barcelona long term existence. If he continues to make the wrong decisions, Barcelona will experience a gradual decline in performance. Xavi dismissal still leaves some fans disappointed, expectations for Hansi Flick are also not too high, because everyone is aware of the situation Barcelona is facing. If Hansi Flick receives excessive pressure from club officials and fans, I think the former German national team manager will make the same statement as Xavi. His position as Barcelona new manager is very dilemmatic, because as one of the elite La Liga clubs, Barcelona will always be compared to Real Madrid. It is very likely that problems resulting from the financial crisis will hamper Barcelona development.

I also wouldn't be surprised if in the middle of the season Hansi Flick complained about Barcelona situation, even though at first he was very welcomed by Laporta, we also saw a welcome like that when Xavi came to Barcelona. Imao no matter how great a coach is, if it is not accompanied by stable club finances, the results will not be optimal. This situation will always apply to Barcelona as long as its finances do not improve. Apart from that, we are quite curious about what precise steps Hansi Flick will implement at Barcelona in his first season. And I hope Barcelona fans don't have excessive expectations. From the past, present and future, Barcelona will always be compared to Real Madrid because they are two clubs that have a long history in La Liga.
