La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[imamusma]

~~

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.

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.

[topbitcoin]

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.

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.

[slapper]

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's simple to forget how bad Barcelona has become. This is not the same team that ruled Europe a few years ago. They have to rebuild, which takes time. Xavi did a good job given the conditions. Now it's Flick's turn to show what he can do

It may not seem like much, but Flick has enough time to set the stage for the next season. Even if they don't win any awards right away, I think he did a good job if he could make the team play better and show progress. The road ahead will be tough, but hey, sport has seen stranger things happen. Flick might be able to surprise us all with something out of the blue

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

[Uruhara]

Last season, Barcelona didn't even bring in many new players in the transfer market apart from a few loan players such as Felix and Cancelo. And yes, this is because the club is not yet financially stable, which means they can no longer spend large amounts of money to bring in expensive players. And yes, Xavi has actually done well at Barcelona. And Xavi has also made Barcelona rise from adversity. And next season will indeed be a much more difficult season than last season. because the adjustment to the new coach, who is said to even change Barcelona's style of play, has indeed brought various fan reactions. Whether it's a positive response or a negative response. What is clear is that everyone still has doubts about Barcelona's performance next season.

Many people doubt Barcelona strength in the next season because they changed coach and they did not buy more players to improve their performance. If I am not mistaken, Barcelona did not sign any new players last season other than Vitor Roque. They bring Felix and Cancelo on loan to improve their performance for one season. The Barcelona management is willing to keep them on a permanent deal, we hope that will be done before next season because the club is not financially good at the moment.

However, I have no doubts about Barcelona ability to compete with Real Madrid next season, if Barcelona injured players return to play, I believe they will have a chance to challenge for the title. Barcelona still has some outstanding players at this point. I think Gavi and Balde will be fit to play at the start of next season, and their performance will be better than we expect. The new manager must get used to the players before the season begins, they must improve in their pre season games, and he has to understand the players before the La Liga game starts. I believe he will be successful with that.

If in the past they were able to become rivals, now of course they are no longer Real Madrid's tough competitors. Barcelona is far behind, that's why Real Madrid has everything they want to do, but it's different if Barcelona only brings in top players.  they can't afford it and even the issue of player salaries and club finances is very concerned, this is what makes it impossible for Barcelona to do anything to bring in top players and coaches, I don't doubt Barcelona's strength next season but it's impossible for me to see Barcelona being able to keep up with Real Madrid and  Girona.

Xavi changed Barcelona's style, it's true, I haven't seen Barcelona concentrate so much on defensive play before and it gave results, but Xavi's strategy was lacking in attack and I don't agree that he didn't have a good striker because Lewandowski scored a lot in Bayern and he remained the same player, he just didn’t have such good support in Barcelona and therefore his performance became worse. It is quite possible that Flick's strategy could influence Barcelona, ​​so he is in no hurry to buy new players, but first wants to deal with what he has now.
