La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Palakka]

Barcelona is far from the old days. Because the wrong transfer policies and financial mistakes made by the club managers in recent years have caused Barcelona to move away from the old days. Barca went through a renewal process with Xavi. In this process, most things in the team were renewed. I think Xavi was not given the time he needed and an early parting with him took place.

Barcelona brought in Hansi Flick, who is completely opposite to the way they used to play. If they think they can come back to the old days with a different style of play, they are wrong. With the radical change after Xavi, we will no longer be able to watch the Barcelona game we are used to. Flick will want to impose his system in Barcelona. For this reason Barca should buy the players Flick wants, but due to Barca's financial situation this is very unlikely. So Flick will have to make good use of the players he has.

Barcelona is experiencing their worst phase after their glory phase occurred before, when at that time the management made many mistakes in building and making Barcelona triumph as the best team ever in Europe, but unfortunately behind the glory Barcelona invited their destruction with poor financial management, so we can see if slowly Barcelona began to experience a crisis that made them like Now, Xavi arrival certainly gives a little hope for fans to see Barcelona rise again, especially in his first season Xavi was able to give the La Liga championship trophy to Barcelona, while in the second season although Barcelona was not able to win 1 trophy but at least we can still see Barcelona competing in the top 4 and also the Champions League.

Xavi dismissal is of course unexpected news after all the achievements that can be given by him to Barcelona, but I think Xavi will only be a thing of the past for Barcelona even though in fact he can still make Barcelona better if he has time at Barcelona, Hansi Flick is currently the coach of Barcelona and I think slowly Hansi Flick will try to change Barcelona's philosophy of the game later into a style of play that is indeed often used by the German coach so far, so I think maybe we will no longer see Barcelona with Tiki Taka as his typical style of play in future.

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.

Exactly, I believe that even though Barcelona has financial problems, they will still do well in the league competition because they have many clubs in the league that can't compete with Barcelona next season, it's just that they won't get the opportunity to win the league because they have some teams that are better than them in the league, it's just that they will need to find other players that can help them fight in the league and help them win, but due to the financial problems, Everyone is only believing that Barcelona will encounter difficulties next season since they don't have enough money, therefore don't be surprised if the new coach changes the teams to be a great and win the Laliga trophy because one person can change thing to be good so let just see how the competition will end next season, but am thinking that the new coach Flick can improve barcelona performance and make them challenges many team.

[hyudien]

In the last few seasons there have been no big surprises in La Liga, only Girona last season made a surprise so as for the competition in the top 4 I think nothing has changed, there are still Barcelona and Atletico Madrid there.

Well Girona almost surprised everyone but unfortunately they couldn't maintain their consistency since their defeat by Madrid made them play inconsistently again until the end of last season, I thought they would be consistent like Leverkusen but in the end they failed to maintain their consistency, they had to be satisfied with being in the top four even though they didn't manage to become runners up and it seems that once again they will also play at an even more difficult level, the challenge of which is playing in the UCL next season.

I'm not sure they will be successful playing in the UCL later because maybe the level of play will be different if they still keep the current players. Girona must be able to recruit players who have a lot of experience in the UCL so that it can help them play better in the UCL competition later. but I believe Girona will be a difficult team in Laliga next season, I think they will learn from their mistakes in the previous season and improve them to be even better, at least becoming UP runners in Laliga next season, displacing Barcelona.

Almost everyone didn't expect that Girona would play that well in La Liga and even at the start of the season they gave competition to Real Madrid, but they were not consistent enough in maintaining their performance, so over time they declined and eventually they fell away from the title race, to be precise, Real Madrid can distance themselves from them. But despite all that, they managed to surprise everyone with such a performance and ultimately they managed to get a ticket to go to the Champions League.
In the Champions League everything becomes uncertain, because there the competition is tighter and Girona is at a different level. I don't mean to belittle Girona at all, but we can see for ourselves what they are like and it seems like it doesn't need to be explained anymore. But even so, I hope they can play well and provide competition in the Champions League next season, even though the possibility is very low, the opportunity is still there, and no matter how small the opportunity is, they must be able to take advantage of it very well.

As of July 1, Mbappe is officially going to be a Real Madrid player.    I'm very excited about him despite there are still nearly 2 months to go for new season to start.

From now on I really don't know who can stop this team in the La Liga. Normally we would say Barcelona as the biggest candidate. However they lack the strength for doing that. Laporta is also aware of the huge threat now but he can't do anything unless Barcelona finds a lot of money from somewhere. Maybe they can make some money by player sales but I don't know whether they intend to give up on any of their decent players.

Frenkie de Jong has been on the rumours to be sold but it is hard to be sure of it. He is a great player who is quite injury-prone at the same time.

You actually have a point and know that everyone who is in support of mbappe of even Real Madrid will be very excited to see mbappe moving to his next team in order to get prepared for the upcoming season, so to me, I view that Monday as the best Monday for all Real Madrid fans.
 
Furthermore, I don’t think any team will be able to stop Real Madrid from winning this upcoming La Liga trophy because there is no team that has their strength for now, but we don’t know what might happen before the start of the league, though hope will still be put on Barcelona because we all know that every year they try their possible best to see that they face Real Madrid, and still their president is trying his best to get rid of the financial crisis facing the team, so maybe they will surprise us. We don’t know.
 
Moreover, they have talented players in their academy, so we should be ready to expect the unexpected from them.

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.

The decline in performance experienced by Barcelona was not too significant, they were only unable to compete with Real Madrid in the race for the title, but they were still able to maintain their position in the top four. Barcelona is trying to rebuild its strength to reach the level that Real Madrid has achieved, they are also trying to bring in quality players by relying on money from player sales. Barcelona may fail to win a trophy again in Hansi Flick's first season as coach, but there will be gradual changes because their goals are very clear and supported by the hard work of the entire management in overcoming the financial problems that are currently affecting them.

Take your mind back to the Barcelona of Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Messi and Sergio Bosquet, this will make you realize that all is not actually perfect with Barcelona especially in the season that just ended. If you have been following Barcelona closely, you will notice how unpredictable they have become over the years unlike when they were in their prime and can be reliably added to bet without fear. Another thing is that the strong Barcelona will never give doubts about winning team outside Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla unlike now that if Barcelona is playing Getafe, one will be extremely scared of going all in on them. A lot have really changed with the team and that requires urgent steps to reposition the team as the new season draws closer.

[SOKO-DEKE]

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 am not expecting Lewandowski's performances should continue to be like he was when he was still at Bayern Munich. Lewandowski is aging, and his performances are expected to decrease due to his age. So, how Lewandowski is performing at Barcelona now is not bad considering his age.Barcelona really needs to get a better option for Lewandowski, but due to their financial problems, I think that has stopped them. Since the beginning of last season, Lewandowski has shown a decline in his performances.

With Lewandowski's age now, it will be hard to see a team that will pay a significant amount to sign him. So, for next season, Lewandowski will still remain at Barcelona. Since Barcelona has not acquired a better striker, Lewandowski will be their reliable striker next season.My fear now is injury because, at his age, if Lewandowski suffers any serious injury, it could be over for Barcelona.

Apart from age, I think the team he left at Munich is better than the current Barcelona squad, he is having less passes and he has to do more work to get ball for himself.
Age will actually affect him so much because being 35 years old man as a striker is not an easy job, because as a striker, he need to move his body and score goals which I think his age will not allow him to do now. Barcelona should have another means of getting a striker despite their financial crisis because they cannot depend on Lewandowski for more than a season now if they really wants to compete with Real
Madrid that has signed Mbappe to strengthen their front line more than it used to be.

Frenkie de Jong has been on the rumours to be sold but it is hard to be sure of it. He is a great player who is quite injury-prone at the same time. 

I would have named Barcelona as a possible team to compete with Madrid, but after Laporta fired xavi, then revealed flick as a new coach, I changed my opinion and lowered my expectations. Real Madrid has no worthy opponents in La Liga, and they will dominate the league. Again, Barcelona can only rely on its relationship with Nike over a new deal that gives them money, and Laporta cannot overturn La Liga's embargo on his team registering a new player. There is no concrete update concerning Barcelona's progress in negotiations with Nike over a contract renewal. 

De jong's rumor has been circulating for several years, but there has been no definitive word on whether he will depart or remain with the club. 

[rahmad2nd]

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.

Talking about Barcelona, ​​so far I have not received certainty about the signing of new players, although Hansi Flick reportedly has several names he wants. Rumors of the departure of one of Barca's midfielders have made Flick look for another target as a replacement. however, so far, Barcelona's discussions are still related to its financial problems. not to mention negotiations for Joao Cancelo's deal, as well as Atletico's Joao Felix. It has not been reported that these two names will remain at Camp Nou next season. or, it could be that I missed the latest information. as you said, I see Madrid as very competitive. however, that doesn't mean Barcelona will play badly after La Liga starts.

As you said, Barca have players with potential. whether it's midfielders, defenders and front lines.
Last season, Barcelona's performance declined due to many factors. apart from the storm of injuries, several players experienced a decline in performance. plus, the system that Xavi implemented was not able to run well. as a result, Barcelona often stumbled. even though they won, their victory could be said to be a bad victory. as a Barcelona fan, I have to be neutral about it. that's why we have high hopes for Hansi Flick to make Barca much better, at least he has charisma and experience. the system he will apply is also different from Xavi Hernandez's style. It is very likely that Barcelona's face next season will look different. I mean, their game is different from the one Xavi uses. apart from that, Hansi Flick can take advantage of the agility of the midfielders they have, with the schemes and strategies he has set. Well, I won't speculate too far, I'm more interested in waiting for Barcelona to play their match and the closest thing is pre-season.

[Blitzboy]

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.

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.

Barcelona aint taking the La Liga crown away from Real Madrid anytime soon. But hey, they've got heart, they've got history, and a top-four finish? Absolutely doable. Dont forget, these guys are legends.

Everybody is aware of the financial difficulties. You cannot write off Barcelona, though. These people never fail to produce something. Poland? Lewandowski? They took him when nobody else thought they could. Thats the kind of boldness that makes them great.

Now they got Hansi Flick at the helm. Smart move. He is a winner and builder. Though it will take some time, I believe that under his direction Barcelona is changing. It wont happen over night, but hey, the best teams are assembled piecemeal. People, watch this space. Barcelona still has a great deal more fight in them.

I think steps will be taken after Euro 2024. Hansi Flick has a lot of work to do at this point. It is vital to follow the players, be with them and identify the missing points. No one shows them as favorites for the La Liga title, but maybe that's why they will be more comfortable and try better to finish the league at the top.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona is far from the old days. Because the wrong transfer policies and financial mistakes made by the club managers in recent years have caused Barcelona to move away from the old days.

In the first season, Xavi did not win anything with Barcelona because he replaced Sergi Barjuan who was appointed as interim coach when Barcelona kicked out Ronald Koeman. Xavi failed in the first season, especially in the remaining seasons left by the two previous coaches, but the great thing that Xavi did in his first season was bringing Barcelona to finish in 2nd place in La Liga.

Xavi won two domestic titles in his second season where La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup were the two titles he presented. But he started to feel uncomfortable in the third season and even wanted to retire at the end of the season before Barcelona succeeded in persuading him to stay. But after that he was kicked out for ridiculous reasons.

Xavi dismissal is of course unexpected news after all the achievements that can be given by him to Barcelona, but I think Xavi will only be a thing of the past for Barcelona even though in fact he can still make Barcelona better if he has time at Barcelona, Hansi Flick is currently the coach of Barcelona and I think slowly Hansi Flick will try to change Barcelona's philosophy of the game later into a style of play that is indeed often used by the German coach so far, so I think maybe we will no longer see Barcelona with Tiki Taka as his typical style of play in future.

Hansi Flick should know what he will do in his first season at Barcelona. He is aware that Barcelona is not in good financial condition, so maximizing the existing players is an option for him. But I don't think Barcelona is still suitable to adopt the same philosophy as when Xavi, Messi and Iniesta played, meaning tiki-taka is no longer good for the current generation of Barcelona players.

Madrid that has signed Mbappe to strengthen their front line more than it used to be.

Yes you are right. After Real Madrid transferred Mbappe, Barcelona should strain their economic situation to transfer a better player to the forward area. Maybe that's why they should send Lewandowski off the team because his contract has a very high price. This contract of his is a burden on the team. I'm sure Arabia will make an astronomical offer to Barcelona for him, and Lewandowski will be happy with this offer and go there.

Laporta is also aware of the huge threat now but he can't do anything unless Barcelona finds a lot of money from somewhere.

Frenkie de Jong has been on the rumours to be sold but it is hard to be sure of it. He is a great player who is quite injury-prone at the same time. 

I always believe in football anything can happen, the closest example in the Euro Cup is that there are so many surprises that even the teams with the most luxurious squads don't match predictions. This also applies to Real Madrid at the moment, according to them no one can stop them, indeed Real Madrid's squad is almost perfect and Barcelona's strength is still unclear, especially with a new coach. However, Barcelona could make a big surprise next season if Real Madrid is too satisfied with the squad they currently have.

Sometimes we shouldn't be too arrogant about the current Madrid squad, Real Madrid still have to concentrate and not underestimate their opponents. Even though Real Madrid has a luxurious squad, they may not be as successful as expected. There will definitely be teams that will surprise Laliga like Girona did this season. The point I want to convey, don't be too euphoric about Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid. The more star players accumulated in one team, the bigger the player's ego. It cannot be denied that if you look at the squad among the teams currently in La Liga, it is true that Real Madrid will win La Liga again next season.

After Madrid succeeded in bringing in Mbappe, the gap in La Liga began to appear, because Barcelona and all the other La Liga contestants were unable to build the same squad depth. So it is not surprising that next season Madrid will appear impressive, while Barcelona will face the opposite situation because of the difference in the financial strength of the clubs they have. The dismissal of Xavi and the appointment of Hansil Flick will not necessarily make the situation better, Barcelona will certainly experience ups and downs in performance next season.

Joan Laporta is certainly trying his best to bring Barelona out of the financial crisis, although I assume this will not be easy to make happen. The most immediate challenge is trying to retain key players, Hansi Flick must find a way to convince players like De Jong to stay. If Barelona loses a number of its pillars, then they will be far behind Madrid.

With Hansi Flick, Barcelona will try to bring in new players, but they also have to keep important names in the team. Flick also needs to know how to keep players who can be important for Barcelona, ​​because it is critical to keep players who play in their own region, such as Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Ter Stegen, De Jong, in the team. The team may become even weaker because one or more of these players are sent off from the team.

Hansi Flick will ask Barcelona management and club officials to retain important players, regardless of how they deal with various challenges. It is reported that Barcelona current financial situation is getting worse, let alone recruiting new players, they are currently even having difficulty registering existing players for next season.

Indeed, this situation indirectly makes it easier for Madrid to retain the trophy next season, and I don't think Barcelona fans should be too harsh on Hansi Flick if next season he fails to meet expectations. The financial crisis that hit Barcelona has made their bargaining value decrease in every competition, management must find the best way out to overcome this.

On the other hand, it looks like Barcelona should follow the example of Dortmund in overcoming financial problems, giving more playing minutes to talented young players, and releasing them in the transfer window to make a profit. Barcelona has the La Masia academy, where many talented players have come from there, such as Lamine Yamal.

[lalabotax]

As of July 1, Mbappe is officially going to be a Real Madrid player.    I'm very excited about him despite there are still nearly 2 months to go for new season to start.

Indeed. Mbappe is officially a Real Madrid player. Everyone must be curious with Mbappe's career in Real Madrid. Some people think Mbappe won't be successful in Real Madrid because Mbappe is a typical egoistic player. He won't improve Real Madrid performance, he only will ruin the tactics made by Ancelotti. But many people believe that Mbappe will change his mentality in Real Madrid. It is because Real Madrid always know how to build the mentality of the players. Real Madrid also has Ancelotti who knows well to handle the players properly.

From now on I really don't know who can stop this team in the La Liga. Normally we would say Barcelona as the biggest candidate. However they lack the strength for doing that. Laporta is also aware of the huge threat now but he can't do anything unless Barcelona finds a lot of money from somewhere. Maybe they can make some money by player sales but I don't know whether they intend to give up on any of their decent players.

Besides Barcelona, Atletico Madrid is the competitor of Real Madrid in every season. Now, we have Girona that can perform well, too. But with the current condition of each team in La Liga, I am also confident that Real Madrid will win the La Liga trophy again in the next season. Real Madrid has improved their squad with Mbappe. Their attacking will be sharper.

Frenkie de Jong has been on the rumours to be sold but it is hard to be sure of it. He is a great player who is quite injury-prone at the same time. 

There is always rumors about De Jong to be sold. But he still can stay in Barcelona until now. Not sure if De Jong will really move from Barcelona, He looks like to feel comfortable there. In the previous transfer season, he also preferred to choose staying in Barcelona.

Xavi dismissal is of course unexpected news after all the achievements that can be given by him to Barcelona, but I think Xavi will only be a thing of the past for Barcelona even though in fact he can still make Barcelona better if he has time at Barcelona, Hansi Flick is currently the coach of Barcelona and I think slowly Hansi Flick will try to change Barcelona's philosophy of the game later into a style of play that is indeed often used by the German coach so far, so I think maybe we will no longer see Barcelona with Tiki Taka as his typical style of play in future.

His strained relationship with Laporta meant that he couldn't stay and indeed this decision was in line with what he wanted in mid-season so even though earlier rumors said he was staying but still as you say for now Xavi is the past and we can't force this back because Barcelona and Xavi for now have chosen opposite paths.

Right now, we just need to see how Flick manages Barcelona well because the benchmark is Flick not Xavi anymore for now.
There may be some people who cannot understand the decision taken by Laporta in this case who let Xavi leave but on the other hand the good intention to bring Flick so that Barcelona's performance does not decline also in my opinion is a fairly appropriate decision because after all Flick is not a new name for the coach so that with the experience he currently has he is expected to be able to restore Barcelona's performance as before and can compete next season.
