La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tusandii]

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.

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.

[tottong]

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.

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.

[Ahli38]

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.

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 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.

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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[HajiBagi]

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.

Lewandowski is still the favorite striker of Barcelona and without him next season Barcelona will not be able to score goals, Lewandowski is still helping Barcelona because of the complaining of financial problems Barcelona is having every season, Lewandowski is not that old that we will think that he can’t score goals again, he needs players that can create chances for him to score goals not like the ones in Barcelona that are not creating any chances for him to score, striker is not Barcelona problem this days, the problem Barcelona can solve in the team is the get more midfield players and wing players.

I don’t think we should be talking about Barcelona all the time because talking about a team that doesn’t want to progress is like wasting time talking about them, years ago Barcelona was one of the richest clubs in the world but now they are the biggest club that complain about financial issues and signing good players, what are they using their money for because I don’t see any good player that Barcelona sign that is good like Messi and Neymar and I don’t think Barcelona will have like those players again because they don’t have money.

Barcelona is interested in hiring Nico Williams from the Athletic Club and they have been looking for this player for a long time because of his age and the performance he had so far in the Athletic Club. But Athletic Club knows Williams is a valuable player and he can shine in this team for a long time nad he is playing for the Spain National team which can give him more credit while it seems Williams is also interested in playing Barcelona.
The first offer from Barcelona was rejected when they offered was pay 40 million euros in two parts plus Iñigo Martínez and then they offered 55 million euros plus 10 million euros and Iñigo Martínez which can be a better offer. However, Iñigo Martínez is now a valuable player anymore and he is worth 5 million euros.

However, Iñigo Martínez is now a valuable player anymore and he is worth 5 million euros.

Nico William is one of the young players who is the target of many clubs today, his fairly consistent performance with athletics bilbao and also Spain of course makes his current market price rise dramatically, actually Nico William has just extended his contract with athletics bilbao so that it does make athletic position in a comfortable position to keep him or price him at a high price to the club club that wants to buy him,  Currently Nico William has developed rapidly with Athletic Bilbao so it is appropriate that he has to make the right decision for his future, at this time we cannot say if Athletics is the right club for him because indeed Athletics Bilbao cannot guarantee that he can get a prestigious trophy in his career.

Barcelona of course doubt that they can get Nico Williams at this time, because indeed their finances are bad at the moment, besides that of course Nico Williams will think 10 times to join Barcelona at this time which is no different from Bilbao athletics, so far even reportedly Barcelona has also withdrawn from the competition to get Nico Williams because indeed they consider him too expensive and prefer to target Jaden Philogene from Hull City who has a more realistic price.

[Minecache]

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.

But if you look at it even if it is not only Barcelona with large debts look at their performance you will be able to tell whether having too much debt as a club is good or not because the situation of Barcelona is becoming worst just because of the financial crises they are facing because even during the transfer window they can not really do anything serious. been a financial director is a lot of serious work because you have to have strategy in dealing with financial issues to main stability in the club because you can not stop the salaries of players and the coach it will even lead to more problems. and that is pone of the reason the management are always angry when they are not getting results from the club because if you look at Barcelona currently they have not archived any serious thing this last season from the Spanish league to the champions league.  the financial director should be working things out already, maybe bringing more deals to the club.  lewandowski still plays well even at is age he as actually given Barcelona his best as a striker. real Madrid has excellent and young players they are focused and consistent and mbappe coming on board now is another different thing because things will go super for Madrid.

Barcelona are in big problems right now. But for some reason, they seem to actually not care about it. They are still trying to spend money like they have a lot of it. Barcelona should at first cut down the salary that they give to their players. Even if a few years ago Barcelona was the club that was giving the most amount of money to the players as salary in the whole world, they have to cut that down.

Barcelona won’t be able to compete against Real Madrid which is their biggest competitor when Real Madrid has Mbappé and Barcelona has Lewandowski. No disrespect to Lewandoski. but Barcelona needed better players. Mbappé of Real Madrid, they would have needed Haaland. But they do not have money

[Xcode7]

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.

Not so, Barcelona will still compete at the top even though it is difficult because their rivals Real Madrid have a much stronger squad but at least Barcelona will remain in the top 4.
Barcelona does have financial problems but that doesn't mean they won't build a team for next season, every effort will definitely be made by Barcelona management and recruiting a new coach is proof that they want to build this team much better.

[Salahmu]

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.

Is always important as a player to always be on a good term with the coach because having issues with coaches is like a player fighting against his career in football, and one thing I realized in most players is that they were not giving the opportunity to show the world how good they are because of the issues they have with their coaches, however the problem with most coach is that the moment they leaned that you are rude to them they find it difficult to play you in a match, so in the case of Joao Felix the earlier he leaves the club the better for him in his career, though hopefully Barcelona will come for him if the price tag is not much because with the financial issues of Barcelona they will always do some calculations before they can make any decisions because if there is any funds they have now they will need to use it judiciously.

[CryptoBuds]

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.

Not so, Barcelona will still compete at the top even though it is difficult because their rivals Real Madrid have a much stronger squad but at least Barcelona will remain in the top 4.
Barcelona does have financial problems but that doesn't mean they won't build a team for next season, every effort will definitely be made by Barcelona management and recruiting a new coach is proof that they want to build this team much better.

I would say Barcelona have the potential to be in the top 2 of the table with this score. I see no reason to think this Barcelona squad is weak. The squad lacks experienced players but has plenty of talented players in Barcelona's squad. Despite not being able to compete for the title against Real Madrid, I believe that Barcelona can hold on to second place in the table.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick should strengthen the Barcelona defense a bit. Barcelona conceded a lot of goals last season. A strong defense is definitely needed if you want good results against the big teams. Barcelona's young players in attack and midfield need to be properly utilized. If Hansi Flick can use Barcelona's young players properly, we will see consistent performances from Barcelona.

[Rampagoe004]

Barcelona does have financial problems but that doesn't mean they won't build a team for next season, every effort will definitely be made by Barcelona management and recruiting a new coach is proof that they want to build this team much better.

I agree with you. If you look at Barcelona's performance and the competition in La Liga, I think that even though Barcelona has financial problems and the club is in poor performance, they will still be able to finish in the top 4 of the standings. I think the competition in La Liga is between Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid and Barcelona. Girona are an anomaly and they have surprisingly managed to break into the top ranks of La Liga. Barcelona have to look for a new coach and build their squad and I don't think they can expect to win the title next season considering their current performance.
