La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Uruhara]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's possible, he has a legacy of players that I think is quite good. But I'm not sure Flick will keep it all, I think there will be a change in playing style. So Flick will need new players. But the current problem is Barcelona's financial condition. I had read that Flick could not be registered as a coach due to financial circumstances. Is it finished? If Flick wants a new transfer, it seems that Flick will have to be willing to sell some players who do not fit his playing strategy. Regarding Lewandowski, I believe he is a good striker if he has the right support and strategy from the coach.

Of course every new could would definitely have an impact in a team if could be a positive impact or negative impact but we just have to hope that he is able to influence the team positively wether he brings in new players or not.

With Barcelona’s financial condition he would have to cope with the players available just has Xavi did, it won’t be easy but for the time being he would need to adapt. If you look at the players available they are not so bad, they have quality players enough to compete for trophies but it will be down to how effective the coach is.

Are they still down financially that they cannot register a coach despite all the pay cuts they have had on some players. If they can’t register the newly appointed coach then it will be difficult to sign Cancelo and Jaoa Felix.

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 was amongst those that bashed him for being too defensive last season, game after game I made some subtle comments of Real Madrid games being too boring because they didn't attack too much last season. I know how much of a attacking side they have been in the past so watching them go defensive reminds me of Jose Mourinho and his outdated tactics and strategies.

I complained until the game against Manchester City in the Champions League Competition, then I knew that, defending is also part of the game as much as attacking is also part of the game.
According to him, they have seen how Arsenal did against Manchester City and they decided to utilize the same tactics which worked out nicely for them.

That substitute for Joselu was made by his son, the coach even said his son was responsible for bringing Joselu into that game against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Competition.
I'm sure they'll go hard for the next Champions League Competition yet again.

I strongly disagree with your assertion that Barcelona's attack was lacking; in fact, I thought their defense was even worse than their offense. Last season, Real Madrid let in 26 goals, while Barcelona let in 44, which was much too much for barcelona. Even though Barcelona has not scored as many goals as Madrid, they were still excellent enough to finish with 79 goals, which is an improvement over their 22/23 season. 

Again, since Barcelona has not yet resolved the issue with La Liga, Flick will not rush to acquire the new players. If La Liga has not yet lifted Barcelona's ban, how can the club sign a new player? Flick's primary objective is to tell Laporta to reverse the ban imposed by La Liga, which is obviously not going to happen shortly without the help from nike.

Hansi Flick seems to have started working and becoming head coach at Barcelona and it seems he also wants several new players to fill his main squad so they can perform better next season and compete with their rivals, Madrid, who are currently making some progress, namely by recruiting Mbappe on the front lines, it will make Madrid a very strong team in the hunt for the Laliga trophy next season. Barcelona must immediately get some of the players Hansi Flick wants so that Barcelona can win the Laliga trophy next season.

However, Hansi Flick will certainly not guarantee such a fast process with the current players and developing players in the main squad without financial support will clearly be difficult, but Hansi Flick will also make this a challenge for him, with the existing players whether he can develop it well and compete with strong teams in Laliga next season such as Madrid, Girona and other teams, but I don't want to be too quick to judge Hansi flick's abilities and hopefully he will succeed in getting Barcelona a trophy next season because with the current main squad it seems difficult to win a trophy like the UCL. Changes in the game will definitely occur but the adaptation process will take longer between players and coaches.

Barcelona is in a very difficult condition after all the problems that have befallen them at the moment, Barcelona which is the biggest club with Madrid in La Liga of course still wants to dominate La Liga, so far Barcelona has been trying to continue to restore their glory in La Liga in various ways including debt, selling academy players and even doing everything they can to restore that glory and also balance their finances, previously Barcelona was reported to have experienced problems in registering new players to the La Liga authorities so far before they sold other players to other clubs due to financial violations they had committed previously.

But I don't know if this also happened to Hansi Flick, but I think if indeed the obstacle occurred at the time of registering Hansi Flick, of course the obstacle has been completed, because now Barcelona has officially announced Hansi Flick as a coach, Barcelona is currently starting to sell some of their academy players in order to get some money and that Barcelona is doing just to be able to buy new players next season.

[bitgolden]

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 do believe that the thing is that we are not going to see the situation being a little different this season. They are not going to be Xavi this time and I believe that Flick will do have something that will be different. I think they might do either better or worse but I think it will be worse.

I think this season will be "different", it is not going to be the same result, it could be better or worse, but it will not be the same. This isn't for la liga, because I think Real Madrid will win the league this season, but at UCL maybe Barcelona will do better or maybe it will do worse. That is why I think we should consider this to be the most important part of the situation, that seems like the most important part of the situation.

Actually, if you look at the squad that Barcelona has, they still have a good squad, they still have big names in it and that might be a weapon for Flick to bring something new to Barcelona's game. Although compared to the current Real Madrid squad, they are still behind Real Madrid.
Flick has a tough job at the moment, because when he is in a team as big as Barcelona, ​​he will be under pressure where he must always be able to perform well in every match. That is actually the main task for him so that he cannot be influenced by existing pressure which could have a negative impact on the squad he currently has. But he should also have a strong mentality for that.

As you said it earlier that's how is be impossibility can never be possible, Barcelona didn't have that performance to to keep up with the Girona talkless of real Madrid, every body know how real Madrid this season with good performance. And that's what I'm even expecting from them next coming that they will do more than what they have play this season.
The way Barcelona play all this season with very poorly performance I don't have even single hope for them next season that they can able to compete with a team real Madrid, they can only compete with a weak team like them but not real Madrid or Girona team.

To be honest, there is not a single team in La Liga right now who can compete with Real Madrid for the title. As hard as it is to admit, it is now true. Atletico Madrid, Girona or Barcelona are far behind Real Madrid at the moment. Madrid are stronger now that Mbappe has been added to the squad. It is expected that with the help of Vini, Mbappe and Bellingham, Madrid will become unstoppable next season.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are now far behind. Despite having a lot of talented players in the squad, their performances have been erratic. In the next season, these two teams will not be able to create obstacles for Real Madrid to win the title. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid need more improvement.

Exactly, as you said, the condition of the team owned and the performance of the Barcelona players are very far behind by Real Madrid. Real Madrid managed to buy very talented players at a very young age so this will be a long journey for Real Madrid to always achieve victory in every match they will face in the future. If Barcelona forces them to buy new players, it will not provide a guarantee that Barcelona will win against Real Madrid. In fact, it will make Barcelona's financial condition worsen again, as has happened some time ago.

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.

I won't say that Xavi's strategy is ineffective, but it is true that Barcelona is less aggressive under Xavi Hernandez. in fact, the tiki-taka that Barcelona developed is almost rarely seen. although I agree with Lewandowski, if tiki-taka is no longer as effective as before. in fact, currently the development of modern football is more complex than Barcelona's tiki taka. apart from that, another factor is that Barcelona is hampered by financial problems which greatly limit Xavi's movements in recruiting the players he needs. plus, the lack of a service role for Lewandowski as a pure striker. compounded by the number of injured players, this caused Barcelona to experience many problems and a decline in performance. As for several names, Dembelle's departure. even though, Barcelona still really needs his services. At the same time, Barcelona's young players began to improve their performance, currently they have several of them. none other than because Xavi also contributed quite a lot in recruiting young players, unfortunately the pattern and system that Xavi implemented did not work efficiently. As a result, Barcelona is now being handled by another coach as a replacement for Xavi Hernandez.

Talking about Barcelona's new coach, in most newspapers the main Barcelona players are actually included in the players who make up the main squad under Flick. however, there are also players that Barcelona must release to get an additional injection into their financial balance. however, Flick said that if one of the players he recruited had to leave due to their financial conditions, he would want a suitable player instead. Well, actually, from my point of view, Barcelona has quite capable players. now, how can Hansi Flick bring his new team to its best performance? it could be said, Hansi Flick is a coach who is rich in experience. So, his presence in Catalunya is really needed in Barcelona's future changes. although, it is a big challenge for Hansi Flick to rebuild Barcelona with his style and strategy. I am optimistic, Flick will definitely do his job very well and so will Lewandoswki under the tutelage of this German coach. To see how Barcelona performs, we'll just have to wait and see when the competition starts.

Maybe they can surpass Girona, but when it comes to Real Madrid, I think this is not possible. Real Madrid bought the best and they continue on their way. They seem invincible. They will also make more transfers. If we say that substitute players are among the players that will positively affect the course of the team at any time, Real Madrid will benefit greatly from the power of the substitute players.

The strategy used by Xavi focuses too much on defense, they also often play the ball in the defensive area and spend more time there. Meanwhile the attack was somewhat less effective, Barcelona had difficulty creating opportunities, which made Lewandowski goal productivity drop drastically. There will be differences in Barcelona game because Hansi Flick will modify the strategy previously used by Xavi, he will try to get Barcelona used to the strategy that has been applied at Bayern Munich. Xavi legacy squad can still be relied on, but Hansi Flick needs several additional players who can increase Barcelona attacking power, making it easier for strikers to score goals.

[rendravolt]

Since there was news of Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid, so far at least 3 players have been confirmed to be leaving and they are Kroos, Joselu and Nacho. To be precise, Kroos retired, while Joselu and Nacho preferred to go to Middle Eastern clubs. It doesn't feel like time has passed quickly, but I am quite sad about Joselu's sudden departure even though he is only a loan player from Espanyol.

For Nacho, he is a true legend for Real Madrid where he dedicated his entire career to one club for 23 years. He came as an academy player at the age of 10 and has grown until now at the club he loves so much. Luckily, at the end of his career he was able to become the main captain and at the same time lift the La Liga and Champions League trophies.

Anyway, I heard another rumor that Andrey Lunin will reportedly not stay next season and he has chosen to leave Real Madrid considering that Courtois has recovered from injury.

This is exactly where the problem begins. There is an economic problem for Barcelona. Because of this problem, they cannot transfer the players they want. If it weren't for Gavi, Pedri and Yamal, who could Barcelona have transferred instead? La Masia provided them with great support. In this way, they avoided costly transfers.
