La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Velvet78]

I hope Barcelona finalizes the sale of Roque as soon as possible to raise some funds. If Nico Williams is really staying at Athletic Bilbao then they would look for another alternative. They just can't finish this transfer window without making a proper transfer to the attacking line. Raphinha isn't a reliable player. They need a more consistent winger to the left side.

But I can't see anyone else rumoured as a Plan B in case of not being able to sign Williams. Have you heard any? 

Hansi Flick has come in a really tough time so I'm really curious how good he will be able to handle this Barcelona.

Barcelona is a team that doesn’t know what they want and what they lack, I strongly believe that Barcelona can do with Joao Felix, Victor Roque and Cancelo, Joao Felix don’t have enough time to play last season but with his performance last season he is going to lead Barcelona to win a trophy, Joao Felix is one of the best young talents players’s if not now that he doesn’t have much to show himself, the player leaves his club and Come to Barcelona on a loan just because of the love he has for Barcelona, even when he doesn’t have much time to play he didn’t complain but Barcelona let him go because they have seen who is having a good performance than him.

The problem goes back to finances for Barcelona. The situation for Felix and Cancelo is now unenforceable as their loan contracts are over and they have to return to their clubs Atletico and Manchester City so there is nothing Barcelona can do for these players.

There is an option to make these players permanent but looking at the current value for Felix is definitely not a cheap price with Barcelona's current condition.
They will continue to struggle to find players to strengthen them next season although Dani Olmo and Nico Williams have always been close to Barcelona rumors but with a funny offer like Barcelona gave to Leipzig some time ago then they will also definitely do for some players who want to be permanent so it is certain that no one wants to negotiate for something like that with Barcelona.

For Victor Roque now it looks like he wants to start something new with Hansi Flick but it is still uncertain whether he will stay or not because even though he rejected the offer from the SPL club but the transfer is still ongoing and there could be a difference later when he decides to leave because he is not getting good playing time at Barcelona.

It seems Mikel Merino was recently linked to Barcelona and they wanted to hire this player during this this summer. This 28-year-old had a good performance in Real Sociedad and he he is now linked to Barcelona to play there in the next season.
However, Barcelona is now alone, and other than Barcelona, Arsenal is interested in hiring Merino from Sociedad.
Jokin Aperribay, the CEO of Real Sociedad said he won't make Merino stop and he can join Barcelona or any other team.

Hansi Flick has come in a really tough time so I'm really curious how good he will be able to handle this Barcelona.

Flick didn't come at the most difficult time, if you look at the situation in which Xavi came to Barcelona, ​​then it was much more difficult for him because he had to assemble a team when Barcelona's results were much worse. And now Barcelona looks like a team, and only a few positions need to be strengthened, so Flick has much less work to do. Xavi worked in exactly the same situation, when the team was going through difficult times, and there was no money. Flick said that he does not need new transfers, but despite this, they want to get Nico Williams.

Mbappe's status as the top scorer in Ligue 1 seems to make the competition for scorers in the Spanish League even more interesting.  Mbappe managed to become the top scorer for 6 consecutive seasons in Ligue 1.  Meanwhile, in the Spain League this season, Artem Dovbyk from Girona managed to defeat Lewandowski. Artem Dovbyk managed to make 24 goals while Lewandowski only had 19, the same as Bellingham. Meanwhile, Alexander Sorloth (Villarreal) was able to make 23 goals.

It is too early to warn Hansi Flick is in a difficult situation, because the real challenge only begins when La Liga & Liga Champions starts and then gets the demand to show his best performance. Remember Xavi is much worse and very concerning but he spent all the resources he had with a limited squad to keep giving his best. The end result was still kicked out of Barcelona in a disrespectful way. So Hansi Flick should be lucky this season's situation has more player options and no reason to complain. Laporta at the beginning seemed friendly but the club's finances will make anyone a target for him to vent, especially Hansi Flick.

What are your predictions regarding the friendly match and who do you think will win the match? However, I predict that Manchester City will have great potential to win the match and I predict 2-1 for Manchester City to win. Of course, with this friendly match, both teams will definitely learn a good lesson whether they win or lose.

Because Man City lost in the last two pre-season matches, I think it will be the same this time. But that doesn't mean I think Man City is weaker than Barcelona. but because the Man City coach, Pep Guardiola, seems to have other goals in every pre-season match they have played. Apart from providing trials to second-tier players and young players. Pep is also definitely testing the new strategy he is creating. But Barcelona might be the same in this case. And probably every team in the preseason is doing the same thing.

For Barcelona, ​​this match is their first pre-season match. And I might not be more curious about the results of this match, but I am more curious about what style of play Hansi Flick has created in Barcelona. Because reportedly he really wants to change the club's style of play.

Of course we won't know the results later but it is certain that in this pre-season match yes Pep will definitely test his second tier players and will definitely test how strong the second tier team and their young players are and of course Pep will avoid high risk matches with the goal being to ensure there are no injured player. But yes, Hansi Flick will also have the potential to do the same thing because of course friendly matches are an opportunity to implement strategies to prepare supplies in their respective domestic leagues.

Yes, the match that Barcelona will play is of course the first match for Barcelona and what's unique is that Barcelona has a strong opponent and we'll see what will happen in the match. However, if you look at the head to head matches, of course Barcelona is superior because they won 3 times while Manchester City only won 1 and drew 1. And in the last match the score was a draw with a score of 3-3, but what is certain is that in the Domestic League, of course Manchester City will use all their energy. to win, but in this friendly match of course there is no certainty because there is no trophy up for grabs.

I personally am also very curious about Barcelona's style of play which is now being coached by Hansi Flick and of course we will see how different it is when Barcelona was coached by Xavi and when it was coached by Hansi Flick.but my gut feeling says that Manchester City will win.

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid has completed the first training for the pre-season tour in America and of course we can't wait to see how the team develops and plays on the field against its strong opponents later. On August 1st, we will be presented with an exciting match where Real Madrid's opponent is not an ordinary team where one of the Italian giants, Milan, will be their first opponent.

The results of this match will also open our eyes to how Don Carlo treats his star players and of course he doesn't want any problems in the dressing room that could damage the chemistry between the players. It is very difficult to handle a team full of stars at Real Madrid and of course this will be a challenge for Don Carlo to adjust. I also heard that Endrick, Brahim, and Arda Guler will be the starting trio in the match against Milan later and I am curious to see how these young players show their ambition.

Hansi Flick has come in a really tough time so I'm really curious how good he will be able to handle this Barcelona.

Vitor Roque is one of the players that Barcelona wants to sell because they already have a lot of strikers in their squad, especially since Ansu Fati has rejoined the club after his loan period ended. Getting funds is one of Barcelona's priorities, who really want Nico William. Barcelona very poor condition means that the club management needs to release several players to bring in new players that Hansi Flick wants. Raphinha is also keen to be sold after Lamine Yamal impressive showing at the Euros, but he could still be included as a plan B should something happen to a first-team player.

Dani Olmo is also on Barcelona's radar, perhaps Barcelona will shift their focus to Dani Olmo if they fail to recruit Nico William. Handling Barcelona, ​​which is experiencing financial difficulties, is certainly not an easy job. The coach must be more observant and needs skills in formulating strategies by utilizing the players who are still available.

Real Madrid have three pre season matches before playing on UEFA Super Cup final against the Europe League team winner Atalanta on middle next month. Carlo Ancelotti most efficiency with pre season matches than other La Liga teams have many pre season matches and Madrid have three schedule pre season matches only.
Some players not return yet to the training after playing for their national teams from Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and new signed Kylian Mbappe.

Madrid first pre season match will begin On August 1st facing Milan, reunion for Carlo Ancelotti as Milan former last several season but its not really crucial match for Madrid without ambition have to win. Seems Madrid will focus for promote some youth players on pre season matches before prepare team to UEFA Super Cup final in this middle month against Atalanta.

Ancelotti will never be confused to maintain the chemistry of his players because he is one of the wise coaches and respected by all Real Madrid players.
There is no doubt in the first pre-season match that Real Madrid will face, maybe a strong club from Serie A but just look at all the players owned by Real Madrid have good performance quality and are ready to be relied on in all challenges.
The young players you mentioned make us impatient to see how they really look on the field later and I think this is an opportunity for bettors to bet on getting high odds because both clubs will definitely score.

Milan may not have the quality of players like Real Madrid, but Milan never gives up and wants to give young players the opportunity to get the mentality to fight big clubs from LaLiga.

Vitor Roque is a player who only joined Barcelona in the middle of last season so it would be a shame if he didn't get many opportunities to show his quality as a striker in barcelona,because previously he was able to perform quite impressively with Athletico Paranaese, Vitor Roque was bought for 26 million euros from Paranaese and of course they will get a lot of benefits if Al Hillal is interested in buying him at this time, but I personally see that it seems like Barcelona is selling Vitor Roque not because they want to get Nico William at this time, because if you remember what the previous laporta said, of course without selling Vitor Roque currently Barcelona can still get Nico William.

Barcelona seems to be starting to target lots of players to recruit and but  they forgot that their current finances are not yet stable enough to recruit lots of players, bringing in Nico William will most likely drain their finances especially as they are now also targeting Dani Olmo, won't it only make their finances worse? in the future?

[hahay]

Mbappe's status as the top scorer in Ligue 1 seems to make the competition for scorers in the Spanish League even more interesting.  Mbappe managed to become the top scorer for 6 consecutive seasons in Ligue 1.  Meanwhile, in the Spain League this season, Artem Dovbyk from Girona managed to defeat Lewandowski. Artem Dovbyk managed to make 24 goals while Lewandowski only had 19, the same as Bellingham. Meanwhile, Alexander Sorloth (Villarreal) was able to make 23 goals.

Of course there will be differences because after all, at PSG Mbappe is a very reliable player and also, the competition in Ligue 1 is also not that difficult for Mbappe to still be the top scorer. But at Real Madrid, ofcourse every player has the chance to be able to score lots of goals, because at Real Madrid there are many players who are skilled at scoring goals. In fact, Bellingham is basically just a midfielder, but in reality Bellingham also managed to score a lot of goals.

So, I think to score a lot of goals only in the Real Madrid team there is also competition, more over if it includes the entire La Liga team, then of course there is difficult competition. Therefore, I sure that it will still not be easy for Mbappe if he targets to become the top scorer,because the competition at Real Madrid and in La Liga is more difficult than at PSG or in Ligue 1.

Arda Güler and Jude Bellingham are my favorite young potential players in Real Madrid. Just give them few years, watch their outstanding performances and they’re the future of Real Madrid. The president, Florentino Perez have good vision for the club, coming out in tactical actions to explore the stats of Real Madrid. Real Madrid have the essential necessities to top their game and next season would be definitely a smooth run for Los Blancos. The coach, Ancelotti have made his team to standout and they’re the best club in the world.

Previously I read from Romano's report regarding Laporta's statement, the Barcelona president said that "we are almost reaching normalcy", we will soon clarify our financial situation. Actually I am not trying to discuss this report, but rather waiting to see if Laporta's statement is true. because, I really want to read the claim with evidence provided by Laporta. however, considering in this discussion, it seems interesting to present the report that Fabrizio Romano previously conveyed, it has been several days but there has been no action. in the report it is also written, if Barca can recruit big names because we have done our job. as a Barcelona supporter, I did not immediately respond happily. I am just waiting for concrete steps taken by Barcelona, ​​especially in this summer's transfer window. whether Laporta said the real situation, or is there another scenario. that's why, I responded casually before there was any real action. while waiting for every development that occurs, of course as a Barcelona supporter I hope they will do their job well. yes, apart from the players who are always linked to Barcelona in this transfer window.

Hansi Flick has come in a really tough time so I'm really curious how good he will be able to handle this Barcelona.

Xavi had a harder time than Flick. He made Barça champions after a terrible season. I don't know if Flick can perform like that because they are playing against the best Real Madrid in history. Barcelona must fight with extra effort this year under Flick's management, otherwise they won't be able to do it.

Yes if Barcelona sells Vitor Roque they surely gonna raise funds to buy other players since Nico William is staying back at Athletic Bilbao, maybe Barcelona couldn't meet his transfer terms hence their inability to reach a concrete understanding with Athletico Bilbao for the purchase of the player. The attacking region of Barcelona really needs an extra player who will work with Raphinha who is not in much good form so that they can have a strong attacking force coupled with the ability of the right winger Lamine Yamal who is also in a very good form since the EURO tournament. They also need a left winger who will also substitute Ansu Fati who is not much in a very good form as well.

Already it's clear that Barcelona might not meet up signing Nico William again so even if they don't have plan B they should make use of the available players and manage them perfectly to be able to withstand the pressure of the new season. I know this is a very critical moment for Hansi Flick and he needs a lot of wisdom at this time to be able to achieve a favourable results for the team.

[AYOBA]

Barcelona is an ungrateful team because if not why are they treating players who left their club to play for Barcelona like they don’t want them again, let forget about Felix and talk about Victor Roque, Roque has offers from many clubs and he chose to play for Barcelona and he doesn’t have even 90 minutes to play last season, Barcelona needs to think before losing many players, Barcelona only focuses on Nico Williams and I’m very surprised that why Barcelona only focuses on a player that just has a good performance this season and they want to sign him, Barcelona should think very well before signing Williams.

The problem that the Barcelona is facing with in themselves nobody know what os their actually problems, accept there own coach to be honest it has been a while that Barcelona have a successful season and the most surprises things about the team is that, they will make sure that they star the season with better perform but once the league is almost to middle or finish they definitely change their playing pattern to become poorly.

Moreover, now they’re try to sign up the William instead of them to think well to know how far the guy performance be in his previous clubs, but they want to rushed sign him just to prove their self as better squad next season, and the competition now is not about having a star player if the teams is not maintained their consistent there’s not any way a team can progress.

To be honest, Barcelona is not going after the wrong player and I don’t think they’ll regret signing him if they’re able to bring him to the club. There duo with Yamal is a clear proof that this players will do well when they play together in the same club. Nico Williams is a young player with big prospects awaiting him in his football career. If he can get to join Barcelona, I think his narrative being an upcoming young player will change quickly because he’ll be playing in a big club where most players easily makes name and fame. Nico William won’t be a bad signing and I urge Barcelona to push for him and not let him fall through off them in this transfer window.

Flick didn't come at the most difficult time, if you look at the situation in which Xavi came to Barcelona, ​​then it was much more difficult for him because he had to assemble a team when Barcelona's results were much worse. And now Barcelona looks like a team, and only a few positions need to be strengthened, so Flick has much less work to do. Xavi worked in exactly the same situation, when the team was going through difficult times, and there was no money. Flick said that he does not need new transfers, but despite this, they want to get Nico Williams.

Nico Williams is a necessity at this point for Barcelona. Even if Flick never wanted to sign any player, he should get Nico Williams in the club. Even if he had initially rejected the idea from onset, with what Nico Williams played in the Euros, the management can even tell Flick to go after him and have him play for them together with Yamal. It is going to be a rough season for them next season with the squad strength of Real Madrid, their main opponent, so they need all resources they can put together to stop Real Madrid from winning the trophy for the second time.

[Cookdata]

Against Barcelona I think it will be different, this is a match between two top European teams that certainly have prestige and what happened in the last 2 matches of Manchester City I think will not apply to the friendly match against Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola has built Manchester City with a strong enough character that he can do anything to make the team's performance rise in one match.
And on the other hand Barcelona with its new coach is certainly looking for its best performance.
So I think this will be an easy match for Manchester City to win if they field some of their main players.

There is different between need and want. Manchester City might want this match to happen probably for recognition and to show they run Premier League, they met Real Madrid many times than they met Barcelona and it will boost their confidence on how to handle top Spanish teams in every match but Barcelona need this match more than anything, people might see this as friendly but it's going to be an achievement for Laporta and the future of his new coach.

Pep has built Manchester City for long term but he didn't just work their, he has worked and help Barcelona win leagues many times without number, in fact most of his achievement were from that club but since his depart from there, they have not improved like that, it will actually be like leaving home after you have improved then come back to test home again.
