La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rahmad2nd]

Robert Lewandowski costs the club too much. Also, he is not in the same form as he was at Bayern Munich. In the past, you could immediately count him as one of the elite few forwards in the world, but today we can say that he is an average striker. Of course, there is also an age factor in this. He is getting older now and it is normal to see declines in form as retirement approaches.

The decline in Lewandowski performance is due to his increasing age, apart from that, the condition of Barcelona which is facing financial problems makes it difficult for the players to show their best abilities due to the problems the club is currently facing. Maybe Lewandowski will be one of Barcelona failed purchases, at his older age he will not be able to maintain the performance he had when he was still playing for Bayern Munich. Barcelona will also have difficulty finding other clubs interested in signing him, it is very likely that Barcelona will not get any money when he leaves. Barcelona is still relying on Lewandowski next season, he is a senior player who can guide younger players. Barcelona will use him to lead young players in controlling emotions and making Barcelona's game more unified.

Last season, Lewandowski was not very lucky because injuries affected his performance. apart from that, he didn't really get the services of his teammates at Barcelona after Gavi's long injury. Dembelle's departure affected Barcelona's wing line. although, at the same time, Barcelona has a brilliant young player, namely Lamine Yamal. however, due to Barcelona's overall condition, their performance has declined and not just Lewandowski. yeah, regardless of his current age. Lewandowski is an experienced and established player, he is quite an influential figure in the Barcelona squad in terms of mentality and experience. at the very least, his presence at Barcelona is still very necessary even though he is no longer young. I don't even intend to say that the purchase of Lewandowski from Bayern was a failed purchase, because it wasn't just Lewandowski who performed poorly. Unfortunately, several Barcelona players were injured which left Xavi without many options.

Departed at the start of the season when Lewandowski just joined, he was able to score 23 goals throughout La Liga. however, his second season with Barcelona did not go according to the wishes of the club, coach and players. no exception, for us Barcelona fans. Interestingly, currently Barcelona is managed by Hansi Flick. at the very least, he was quite experienced and had an impressive record. the new season will be a challenge for him when it comes to managing the Barcelona squad, plus what system he will implement. even though we know, Barcelona is financially constrained in recruiting players in this transfer window. however, at least Hansi Flick has special tips for his team's squad to face the new competition. Honestly, I want to see a real comparison between Barcelona and Real Madrid after the season starts.

When we talk about performance, it should be normal. Not many soccer athletes can maintain their performance when they are old. Apart from that, Robert Lewandowski has continued to give the best he has. The rest is the teamwork they provide to Robert Lewandowski. We cannot predict what the future will hold, so when Robert Lewandowski decided to go to Barcelona and start his career from the lowest position again, with Robert Lewandowski's current age being quite old, it was very difficult to do.

But still, age is a natural enemy that is difficult to defeat by soccer athletes except for a few people like Cristiano or indeed Zlatan who retired at an age old enough to quit soccer.
This is also the case for Lewandowski even though he looks like he can still compete but in the end the age problem cannot be fooled besides the possibility of adjusting the scheme again being a big enough specter in the end for Lewa.

This season is very different from last season's Lewa and believe it or not it really happened.
Indeed, this is also based on the players in midfield who did experience a hurricane of injuries and the club's lack of conditions but on the other hand the important point in this case is that Lewa's performance has decreased for this season.

He can still be retained, it's just that if this possibility occurs, there must still be several players in midfield who must support Lewa well because he is a striker who is a targetman not an initiator type so he is not too suitable if he picks up the ball from the middle of the field.

This is one aspect I think we should talk about the more. The issue of financial management in the football clubs among the growing and the elite clubs have put some of these aforementioned clubs at advantage over the others. More elite clubs must also learn how to be prudent in heir finances and how to manage the cost of contracts and transfers they engage in. Barcelona today, have not been able to fully recover from the financial crisis they face currently and were at disadvantaged when compared to the Real Madrid in this season and commentators have it on a good note that Barcelona is currently beaconing their hopes on the sponsorship contract they will sign with the Nike sportswear company. If that should not happen, I think Barcelona will be at more disadvantage than they are presently.

The problem is the huge debt that makes it difficult for Barcelona to recover its finances, although Barcelona has managed to improve its finances little by little but still, Barcelona also has a large debt that must be repaid. Therefore,it is very difficult forBarcelona to improve the bad situation that happened like this, so Barcelona also does not have good management like Real Madrid. But even so,  at least Barcelona is still quite lucky because the players who play at Barcelona also have great loyalty to the club. Therefore,  even though their salaries are reduced but they can still play well,the proof is that Barcelona is still able to compete strongly in the top four despite the club bad situation.

As a result of the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona, ​​the El Clasico match became unbalanced, because Real Madrid had ideal squad depth. For El Clasico fans and especially Barcelona fans, they hope that this problem can be resolved as soon as possible, so that the El Clasico match is presented full of intensity and attraction. We realize that Barcelona needs time to fully recover, and Juan Laporta must be very careful in making policies, so that Barcelona existence as an elite La Liga club is maintained. Apart from that, regarding the loyalty of the players, in my opinion this really depends on their chances of winning trophies and the salary they get per year. If they don't get these two things or one of them, then it's no surprise that Barcelona's key players will leave for other clubs someday.

The decline in Lewandowski performance is due to his increasing age, apart from that, the condition of Barcelona which is facing financial problems makes it difficult for the players to show their best abilities due to the problems the club is currently facing. Maybe Lewandowski will be one of Barcelona failed purchases, at his older age he will not be able to maintain the performance he had when he was still playing for Bayern Munich. Barcelona will also have difficulty finding other clubs interested in signing him, it is very likely that Barcelona will not get any money when he leaves. Barcelona is still relying on Lewandowski next season, he is a senior player who can guide younger players. Barcelona will use him to lead young players in controlling emotions and making Barcelona's game more unified.

I think Barcelona is not ready to leave Lewandoski because they may not have enough money to get a new striker like him, and for the fact that even with his age, he is still trying to make his performance good and get recognised by the team, I believe they won’t let him go unless his age starts affecting him more than this. 35 years old and still doing well, this is very good, and seriously, no doubt the player is trying for the team. It doesn't matter his age; the main thing we need is performance. Lewandoski will be far better than his current performance; due to his age, he can’t play more than this, which is still not bad for him.

Let's see how his performance will look next season. Because next season will be tough, let Barcelona continue managing their squad. Although they have good players, they don’t have some other key positions that will make the squad more competitive. They don’t really deliver as they are supposed to, but nevertheless, they are still trying.

Barca despite not making any signings yet,they are very good,and I believe they have a strong sqaud, good enough to win tittle at Lalliga.How ever,I cannot just say I will predict them to win the Lalliga next season,but I can tell that they may try.One thing that might cause a little concern is their coach,It was very tough for them before they find Xavi,who made it a possibility for them to be in the Champions league,and even won the Lalliga tittle season before last.
And I still believe those players that lifted the trophy for them are still there,so they can do it again next season.

[Weawant]

Recently I got to take a look at Barcelona's form and depth again and it got to my understanding that somehow Barcelona have got to a great extent a good part of that which they needed to have a very good and successful season but then it feels to me like they concentrate too much in their problem and forget they they Can from within begin to alive their problem and within. Period f time, they will be able to get the debt off their shoulders and the team back on its feet to become a Spanish champion again.

Building the team and following up with growth is one very economically helpful way Barcelona can reconsider and I feel that was exactly what xavi was doing and that is why all these years they weren't adding up to the debt they have had already, they can still introduce the sponsorship policy which they are working on with a brand (Nike) but then they are not going to have a complete benefits of the income generated by the team because I'm very sure the brand is doing whatever they are doing for the purpose of profit so they are not going to let a dime go unpaid so indirectly for another number of years Barcelona will be paying an indirect debt.

Xavi wanted to build a good team out of that which Barcelona had already and when necessary, could need a few extra from outside of which he will require the team to buy but not such that would cause them to go into too many expenditures. This was one thing I think la porte didn't put to consideration before sacking xavi, because now they are going to purchase players in a bid to strengthen the team, and if it turns out they don't get the results, like I did said earlier, they will still have to get their sponsors their money over the years through any means possible by virtue of an agreement which will have to be okay by both parties.

I think the Barcelona we now know is clearly different from what they did in their glory days a few years ago and maybe we still won't see that Barcelona figure again, not only next season but for the next 3 years. The reason is that Barcelona have gone too far if they want to be on par with Real Madrid and first they have to restore their finances if they want to be on par with their rivals.

Since Barcelona experienced financial problems, their condition has decreased significantly, but they have been able to deal with it, although up to now they have not been able to recruit many players to support their performance. But they are trying to ensure that this downturn does not make their mental decline and the owner of Barcelona is making various efforts so that Barcelona does not experience bankruptcy. With their existing strength, they continue to get up and try hard to stay close to Real Madrid even though they have to limping a little.

"Barcelona's financial condition started to become problematic in the 2014-2015 season, when Barcelona made many expensive player purchases. The ballooning debt, mismanagement of money by the board of directors created a financial crisis, and the impact of the Covid pandemic made Barcelona's financial crisis even worse"

Period f time, they will be able to get the debt off their shoulders and the team back on its feet to become a Spanish champion again.

Actually, Barcelona is not too focused on the problem, but Barcelona is only focused on thinking about how to maintain the player's performance so that it remains consistent and the pressure on the quality of the player's reliability is a tough test for the coach.
I agree if you say that Barcelona can rise again as long as they don't think too much about the pressure and I understand that sometimes a coach feels almost hopeless seeing the club's condition is so bad but it turns out that Xavi can restore Barcelona's performance to remain in 2nd place this season.

Next season, I still have a little confidence that Barcelona will still be able to compete with other top clubs to try to get the title, even though it is very doubtful, but I always remember that Barcelona is one of the big clubs in LaLiga that will not possibly be willing to lose the club's good name. .
Hansi Flick has started looking for more talented young players to strengthen his attack line in the coming season, but let's wait and see whether this coach will provide a big surprise.

[Litzki1990]

I think the Barcelona we now know is clearly different from what they did in their glory days a few years ago and maybe we still won't see that Barcelona figure again, not only next season but for the next 3 years. The reason is that Barcelona have gone too far if they want to be on par with Real Madrid and first they have to restore their finances if they want to be on par with their rivals.

Lewandowski is finished and I think Barcelona should not continue to rely on him because it will only waste opportunities in front of goal. I know he is a player with a lot of experience but look at Real Madrid last season where they didn't rely on pure strikers at all but they were still able to score lots of goals. So what needs to be emphasized here is the potential of the Barcelona players, where in fact they can do the same thing if given the freedom and Hansi Flick must know that.

Barcelona is not the only team with large debts, this does not prevent Inter Milan from being champions. Barcelona continues to pay the players' salaries, so the financial director will deal with financial problems, and the coach and players should think about victories and results.

Lavendowski is no longer young, 35 years is a long time for a striker, but it seems that he is still in good shape, and Flick can count on him for at least one season. Of course, Flick is obliged to think about strengthening Barcelona’s attack, if we compare it with the attack of Real Madrid, then Barcelona is losing greatly in this, but now it is clear that Flick will try to use the players that he has.

When Lionel Messi left the club and went to another club, it became clear that Barcelona had a major financial crisis. There are several reasons behind their financial crisis that come before us and those reasons seem logical to us because of their financial crisis. Those who served as president of Barcelona at that time did not calculate much in terms of transfers which led to their current financial crisis. But despite all this, Barcelona is trying to follow the path of Real Madrid. Just as Real Madrid buy quality young players for less money, we have seen Barcelona try to do the same in the last few seasons. However, the matter is different in the case of Robert Lewandowski, even though this star is old enough, he is still performing regularly for Barcelona, so I will not be surprised at all if he wears the Barcelona jersey one more season.

With their existing strength, they continue to get up and try hard to stay close to Real Madrid even though they have to limping a little.

Regarding competition, perhaps Barcelona is currently lagging behind Real Madrid because they do not have the financial capacity to recruit the players they need.
Last season they succeeded in recruiting players on free transfers, but the depth of their squad was not able to provide opportunities to compete in La Liga.
After the change of coach this season, there is a lot of work they have to do and especially coaches have to try to adapt quickly to the players. I doubt Barcelona can compete for the La Liga title next season because the strength they have is far from Real Madrid.

They don’t really deliver as they are supposed to, but nevertheless, they are still trying.

With the club's current financial condition, Barcelona can only take advantage of everything they have at the moment. which actually still looks like a very strong squad to me when compared to other regular clubs. but I avoid comparing it with Real Madrid, because well that would be quite a contrast at the moment. Because currently the Real Madrid squad really looks ready to face any club with full confidence. Lewandowski will still be very useful at Barcelona. Although he is no longer as sharp as when he was younger. But yes, he can still be said to be a good striker and quite sharp compared to other ordinary strikers. Unless the club is brave enough to make several transfers for forwards or strikers. but I think that currently the club's condition may still not allow it to buy an expensive new striker. But even so, it seems that Barcelona is also hunting for several midfielders in the current transfer market.

Barcelona will use him to lead young players in controlling emotions and making Barcelona's game more unified.

This season Lewandowski's performance has indeed decreased, but in my personal opinion the decline is not too significant. Because the proof is that Lewandowski is still very productive in scoring goals this season, Lewandowski has recorded 26 goals for Barcelona in all competitions this season. This can certainly be said to be quite good, for a player who is quite old like Lewandowski. So it is certainly impossible for Barcelona to let Lewandowski go at this time (even though there are clubs who want him), because of course, Barcelona does not yet have a forward player who can replace Lewandowski. Even though Barcelona currently has 3 front players (apart from Lewandowski), these front players are certainly not yet in a truly mature condition to become Barcelona's main front players.

Call it Joao Felix, this player has very good talent, he was also able to score 10 goals this season with Barcelona. However, the problem is that he is still young and does not have sufficient experience. So he definitely needs more experience to mature his position as a striker. Therefore, before Joao Felix really matures into a striker on Barcelona's front line, it is certain that Lewandowski will definitely be the main striker for Barcelona. For this reason, it is certainly impossible for Barcelona to let Lewandowski go, at least until his contract expires. Apart from that, if for example Lewandowski's performance improves, it is possible that Barcelona will extend his contract.

They don’t really deliver as they are supposed to, but nevertheless, they are still trying.

I am different, for a player who is about to decline at this stage of his career, it is understandable that Barcelona wants to sell him as soon as possible. I don't think Barcelona will try to keep him. For a club in a financial crisis like Barcelona, ​​paying 32 million euros to a declining veteran like Lewandowski is a burden. In fact, Lewandowski can no longer maintain his sharpness in front of goal. At the age of 35, Lewandowski's physical strength and endurance both decreased significantly. Lewandowski should decide his future, he is no longer suitable for European football, and he can go to Saudi Arabia to get a higher salary and no more pressure on his shoulders. And Barcelona will also receive transfer money to buy new players.

I hope Barcelona can compete in La Liga but Mbappe has gone to Real, it is difficult for Barcelona to compete with a comprehensive team like Real at this stage.

[Inwestour]

Hansi Flick has started looking for more talented young players to strengthen his attack line in the coming season, but let's wait and see whether this coach will provide a big surprise.

Flick now has no opportunity to strengthen Barcelona, ​​and the fact that he wants to use young players only shows that he is not in the best position. This has its advantages, since there may not be such big mistakes as there was from Xavi when he bought many players, even taking into account the financial problems. Flick will make do with what he has, and of course the club will need victories, but I think that to Flick will have more loyal to failures.

[topbitcoin]

Barca despite not making any signings yet,they are very good,and I believe they have a strong sqaud, good enough to win tittle at Lalliga.How ever,I cannot just say I will predict them to win the Lalliga next season,but I can tell that they may try.One thing that might cause a little concern is their coach,It was very tough for them before they find Xavi,who made it a possibility for them to be in the Champions league,and even won the Lalliga tittle season before last.
And I still believe those players that lifted the trophy for them are still there,so they can do it again next season.

What is a good benchmark based on because if in the end it says it's good but it's difficult to compete for trophies then it can't be said to be good in the end.

Next season they will definitely lose Felix, Cancelo because his loan period ends. Apart from that, they are also ready to lose several players such as Romeu and Roque who are asking to be sold, not to mention the interest in Araujo from several big clubs which is enough to make the situation even more difficult.
Coupled with the adaptation of a new coach and injury problems for several players such as Pedri or indeed Gavi, who don't yet know when they will recover, this will definitely make Barcelona even more confused.
In terms of big names, they still look strong, but in terms of squad depth, they are currently very fragile from the current player structure.

[Fiatless]

This season Lewandowski's performance has indeed decreased, but in my personal opinion the decline is not too significant. Because the proof is that Lewandowski is still very productive in scoring goals this season, Lewandowski has recorded 26 goals for Barcelona in all competitions this season. This can certainly be said to be quite good, for a player who is quite old like Lewandowski. So it is certainly impossible for Barcelona to let Lewandowski go at this time (even though there are clubs who want him), because of course, Barcelona does not yet have a forward player who can replace Lewandowski. Even though Barcelona currently has 3 front players (apart from Lewandowski), these front players are certainly not yet in a truly mature condition to become Barcelona's main front players.

The problem is that Robert Lewandowski's wage bill is a big burden to Barcelona. €520,769 weekly, which is about €27,080,000 gross per year might be too big for a financially struggling side like Barcelona. It is clear that his earnings is not commensurate with his performance recently and the club would have to do something about it.  The money spent on the Polish striker would be enough to pay three young strikers who would add quality to the club. Barca thought that his presence would improve the attack but it seems it didn't work as it was predicted. I am sure his contract will not be extended when it expires.

Call it Joao Felix, this player has very good talent, he was also able to score 10 goals this season with Barcelona. However, the problem is that he is still young and does not have sufficient experience. So he definitely needs more experience to mature his position as a striker. Therefore, before Joao Felix really matures into a striker on Barcelona's front line, it is certain that Lewandowski will definitely be the main striker for Barcelona. For this reason, it is certainly impossible for Barcelona to let Lewandowski go, at least until his contract expires. Apart from that, if for example Lewandowski's performance improves, it is possible that Barcelona will extend his contract.

The future of Joao Felix is still hanging in the balance. A few days ago Atletico Madrid's President Enrique Cerezo said that they are still expecting Barcelona's response to the the future of the player. This means Barca has not made any move regarding the future of the player. Maybe Barca is still doing an accounting check on the amount they can spend since they have a very fragile financial base. Felix will not want to return to Atletico because of his unhealthy relationship with coach Diego Simeone. Hopefully, he would be able to be given at least a one-year loan deal in Barcelona.

Since Barcelona experienced financial problems, their condition has decreased significantly, but they have been able to deal with it, although up to now they have not been able to recruit many players to support their performance. But they are trying to ensure that this downturn does not make their mental decline and the owner of Barcelona is making various efforts so that Barcelona does not experience bankruptcy. With their existing strength, they continue to get up and try hard to stay close to Real Madrid even though they have to limping a little.

It is unlikely that Barcelona will be able to compete fiercely with Real Madrid in the race for the La Liga title next season. We can only realistically see that currently Barcelona is in a lot of problems, especially as their rival Real Madrid is growing rapidly so it is difficult for Barcelona to keep up.
Firstly, there is the problem of Barcelona's squad not being as good as Real Madrid's, this is all because of financial problems and secondly, Barcelona and its new coach of course need adaptation, especially as they don't have many potential players recruited, so the Barcelona coach seems to have to build everything from scratch with the available players, which takes time which is long enough for them to keep up with Real Madrid.

[Hirose UK]

Girona, who performed very well this season with significant increase in performance to the point of finishing the season in third place while also getting UCL ticket, has really made an effort to strengthen support to make it easier to continue to perform impressively.
It has recently been seen that Girona has renewed its agreement with Brill Pharma and this collaboration or partnership could have good impact on Girona, they will get some money which might be additional to bringing in players to strengthen the main squad.
Apart from that, it can be seen that Girona owners are also very enthusiastic in every development effort that exists and we have good opportunity to see how Girona becomes better team in the future, it may be difficult to beat Real Madrid but at least there is chance in other competitions.

Moreover, Girona also lost around 20% of the acquisition from City Football Group to be able to fulfill the requirements to be able to appear in the UCL competition.
Existence of several new agreements with long-term partnerships could cover reduction in the acquisition of shares from City Football Group.

[samuraijin]

Let's see how his performance will look next season. Because next season will be tough, let Barcelona continue managing their squad. Although they have good players, they don’t have some other key positions that will make the squad more competitive. They don’t really deliver as they are supposed to, but nevertheless, they are still trying.

Hopefully Barcelona will still play well and be able to compete and still reach the top class. I don't doubt that on the other hand, I doubt next season whether they will be able to compete with the minimum number of players, plus several of their important players are injured, plus they also don't have  key players as you mentioned, at least the hope of all Barcelona people can fight until the end of the season no matter what level they finish in.
