La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[indah rezqi]

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.

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.

The new La Liga season has not started yet but the narrative that is developing seems to put Hansi Flick under heavy pressure, it is understandable that this is all due to the ideal squad owned by Madrid and the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona. We have seen Barcelona able to win the La Liga trophy despite experiencing difficulties, at the same time Madrid also has better squad depth, who knows Hansi Flick can be as lucky as Xavi. The possibility will still exist, even though we know the chances of it happening are very low. However, we must also admit that only Barcelona can be relied on to challenge Madrid dominance.

On the other hand, regarding Barcelona efforts to increase squad depth, I believe there are many ways to make it happen, including releasing several players who have not contributed much such as Vitor Roque and recruiting Nico Williams. I think Hansi Flick should prioritize overhauling the defense line first rather than the front line, because if we refer to last season statistics, the number of goals conceded by Barcelona in one season was quite high. Therefore, we will see how Barcelona management deals with difficulties while trying to increase strength to face next season.

Barcelona is no longer the Barcelona with Messi or Ronaldinho. I want to be optimistic, but there seem to be so many problems. With the economic crisis, the players' situation, and the coach's process of adapting the team, I hope Barcelona will return to its old strong days. I would love this. We are used to seeing them as one of the 2-3 best teams in Europe.

Barcelona's golden era has ended and now they are in a new era. It is undeniable that Barcelona is now no longer the best competing team in Europe either in the Europa League or in the Champions League, even in La Liga they are really struggling to win a place in the Champions League zone. This kind of situation is not what they want by nature, but it has happened and they are just working to fix it.

Barcelona needs time to improve everything, but sometimes people expect them to be strong without strong financial support. Real Madrid is clearly in a period of glory, but it's not certain they can stay like this forever without financial problems. Even other top teams may still have problems in the future, but we don't know when.

I am interested in Barcelona getting stronger, I want to see a very strong Barcelona so that they can play with everything they have against Real Madrid, They have a great player like Yamal, he is good and has a lot of potential. I think that next to Lewa he can make the difference In this order of ideas, what they need is for people to believe in them. And why do I want them to be very good ? Easy, because only if Madrid beats them, the victory will be much more pleasant , than saying that they were beaten with the best players they have at the moment.

Those of us that are not Laliga fans, the beauty of football in Spain to us is the rivery between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The competition to win the Laliga, the face off in El Classico. All these have been possible because during these times that Real Madrid had beat players, Barcelona also had the likes of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta ie after the time of Ronaldinho, Eto etc.

But today we have an overload squad in Real Madrid but no balancing one in Barcelona. Although the Yamal is there, if Barcelona should bring Nico Williams, with Lewa at the top, Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid to an appreciable level.

And that is one of the reasons why I don't want Barcelona to ever weaken, because now I know that Madrid is very strong with its players, but I also want Barcelona to know that, it is better to beat a Barcelona with the best they have and not beat them because they were weakened, I think that a victory like that is not something that gives much dignity, it is much more gratifying when they do it with all their might and can do it against the best, also Girona is a team that should be Taken care of, they are very strong and play great football.

The possibility will still exist, even though we know the chances of it happening are very low. However, we must also admit that only Barcelona can be relied on to challenge Madrid dominance.

I pity Flick for signing up with Barcelona, I'm not sure how he is going to deliver for Barcelona when Real Madrid actually have one of the best mix up players in Real Madrid right now, even Laporta cried of Real Madrid monopoly of trying to have all the best players citing reference to Mbape deal they made successfully. Now, Xavi did all his best and yet Barcelona wasn't appreciative for all he did and Flick think he can turn water to win in Laliga is going to hung on his neck very soon.

On the other hand, regarding Barcelona efforts to increase squad depth, I believe there are many ways to make it happen, including releasing several players who have not contributed much such as Vitor Roque and recruiting Nico Williams. I think Hansi Flick should prioritize overhauling the defense line first rather than the front line, because if we refer to last season statistics, the number of goals conceded by Barcelona in one season was quite high. Therefore, we will see how Barcelona management deals with difficulties while trying to increase strength to face next season.

I'm looking forward to how they are going to utilize Yamal, Xavi didn't used him like he performed in international games but a mixed up of him and Lewandowski will help the forward maintain a good record in many of their matches this season. Flick should also strengthen his hands to the midfield and not just the defenders and lastly a new goal keeper wouldn't be bad. Sometimes, you don't just go far by scoring goals alone, you need a good goalkeeper to help you maintain a clean sheet.

Barcelona issue is becoming more delicate than never planned for these to actually happen but this situation would definitely fall behind Real Madrid, and because of what is happening, it have indirectly affected the performance of Barcelona and if this is not addressed early, then they should be ready for the worst this season and may find it very difficult to catch up with Real Madrid, They seem to be getting ready for next season, but with this mentality, they already have about the financial crisis of Barcelona  there is No way they will be able to catch up to Madrid so they should focus on how to address the financial issue before making Real Madrid, I remember those days that Barcelona was one of the best rivals That Real Madrid could ever have, But with All these I still believe that Barcelona will eventually get back on their feet, which is the normal thing to happen you fall you stand That is our champions behave.

The only reason why this is getting more and more obvious  is that they are trying to build up a team which can possibly  take on realmadrid  or may be take them out.
They have no choice to keep fans support, they need to make new signings for fans to be happy atleast...it seems Realmadrid is their major nightmare  for now since they are in same league (LaLiga).
About getting on their feet, it will be much more easier when their stadium gets completed, there should be alot of generated revenue towards completion  but it seems there's still alot to fix regarding it so it might still take a while which could be years

Moreover, Endrick has now officially joined Real Madrid, a very young Center-Forward from Brazil who previously got an agreement when he was only 16 years old, and now officially has finally joined Real Madrid, with the number 16 jersey at the age of just 18 years old. He will be at Real Madrid with a 6-year contract directly.
https://www.realmadrid.com/en-US/news/football/first-team/latest-news/endrick-firmo-su-contrato-con-el-real-madrid-27-07-2024

For the purchase of Endrick, it is actually quite brave where Madrid gives a high price for young players and this is the same thing that happened when Madrid bought Arda Guller last season but hopefully Endrick's talent can develop well in Madrid later.

This is not the first time Real Madrid has done it for a player who is still very young. Previously there were Bellingham, Vini JR, Gyuller, Rodrygo too. And all were successful. And for Endrick, the agreement was actually made since he was 16 years old, but because of the rules in Europe, Endrick could not be brought to Real Madrid, so they waited until he is 18 years old before he was brought to Real Madrid, and this year along with the presence of Mbappe. Real Madrid must really understand what is worth it and is a long-term investment, this is not a random decision by Real Madrid. but we don't know yet how Endrick will perform at a big club like this. Let's just see how he develops at the club.

I pity Flick for signing up with Barcelona, I'm not sure how he is going to deliver for Barcelona when Real Madrid actually have one of the best mix up players in Real Madrid right now, even Laporta cried of Real Madrid monopoly of trying to have all the best players citing reference to Mbape deal they made successfully.

What has always been Barcelona's main challenge is indeed the club's arch-rival in La Liga, Real Madrid. It is undeniable that this season, Real Madrid has a very convincing squad. If judged on paper, even their back-up lineup is quite extraordinary.

Check out their possible lineup so far before there is another signing for a while.

I have been waiting for Barcelona vs Manchester City friendly match for a long time. I thought both teams would probably play with their main squads. But Barcelona coach Hansi Flick did not have any experienced players in his squad. Barcelona is playing in 4-3-3 formation in this match. And Barcelona's attack consists of Martin-Roque-Cassado. And there is no chance that these three players will be in Barcelona's starting XI next season. On the other hand, Manchester City have Haaland and Grealish in attack.

I would say this match is very important for Vitor Roque. If Roque can prove his ability and perform well in this match, then maybe the Barcelona management will withdraw from the decision to sell Roque.

The Barcelona team got the lead with Pau Victor's goal in just 24 minutes of the match. Barcelona's overall performance so far has been tidy. On the other hand, Manchester City is completely playing attacking strategy. So far Manchester City players have scored 7 shots and Barcelona players have scored 2 shots.

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.

Of course, this match is an exciting match and of course it would be a shame if you didn't watch it. Real Madrid's last match was against Dortmund in the UCL final. Yes, in this pre-season match, of course we will see how strong Real Madrid is and also its second tier team or young players and of course in this match there will definitely be a different sensation because of course several key players such as Vinicius, Mbappe and other key players may not be involved. .

Yes, if Carlo tests like Endrick, Brahim and Arda Guler, of course it will be a good breakthrough considering that Milan is a strong team in Serie A and of course this will definitely be very interesting. and to be honest, I personally am also curious about the young player's appearance. But to be honest, I personally can't wait to see Mbappe and other Real Madrid stars play, of course we will see their beautiful game, but it looks like in this pre-season match we won't know whether he will be played or not.

but yes, in this pre-season match, of course it is a match where a team tests the quality of its players and of course a coach can implement strategies to prepare for the domestic league and UCL. It seems very difficult to predict who will win this match, but if Real Madrid doesn't field their best squad, I predict that Milan will have the potential to win.

At the end of the first half, the Barcelona team is leading 2-1. Although this is Barcelona's second-tier squad, Hansi Flick's match strategy as Barcelona are performing is truly commendable. The Barcelona players are doing a great performance in this match.

Barcelona took the lead in just 24 minutes with Pau Victor's goal. Nico O'Reilly equalized in the 39th minute with a goal from Guardiol's assist. But in just 6 minutes, the Barcelona team was able to take the lead again with Pablo Torre's goal. But the interesting thing is that in the first half Manchester City players had 58% of the ball possession and made a total of 13 shots. On the other hand, Barcelona players managed to score two goals from only 3 shots.

The score is 2-1 now, and it seems Manchester City's high pressing is working well on Barcelona. But City still lacks on their defensive line. Pablo Toure's goal showed that City's defense is too weak for Barcelona's attack. That's pretty nice to see. Both clubs used most of  young talented players in this game.
I'm expecting Barcelona and City to use most of their key players at the second half.

Regarding Vitor Roque, this match is not vital for his future. If Barcelona needs money, selling Vitor Roque is the easiest way to raise it. It's just a pre-season match, my friend. I doubt it will change Barcelona's stance on Vitor Roque's future at the club.
I must admit, Vitor's a talented player. But the club's finances must be the priority.

Hansi Flick did not use their main players but look now Barcelona managed to score 2 goals while Manchester City is still holding on with only 1 goal even though they are relying on Haaland.
It's a bit complicated this time but I still predict Manchester City will at least score 2 goals as I predicted earlier.

Vitor Roque's appearance will not actually affect whether he will be sold or not because I think Barca needs money and maybe if another club makes a high offer, Barca will definitely let him go.

Manchester City actually dominated possession but it was very clear that it was a bit difficult to break through Barcelona and Barca seemed to prioritize defense and took this match too seriously.

For this match Barcelona managed to make Man City a little difficult to keep up with and from what I saw some of the young players who were brought on by Pep Guardiola in the first half did not show a solid level of cooperation, even though if you look at them they managed to control possession. It's just pre-season and maybe Pep Guardiola is looking for a special format regarding the strength of the team next season and he doesn't think he has to play the main players at the start of the match.

Selling Vitor Roque will not cover all of the financial problems faced by Barcelona, although it helps a little but it is not a solution. Vitor Roque's performance is good and he has the best ability and should be kept and find another solution to the club's financial problems.

I thought Barcelona might have won with Manchester City after seeing this picture you showed.But currently the result of this friendly match between them is different. At the moment both teams are tied with two goals each. The match between Barcelona and Manchester City has already reached 89 minutes where both teams have counter-attacked. In the friendly match between both teams, Manchester City and Barcelona are playing in 4-2-3-1 formation. However, in the first 24 minutes of this match, Barcelona went ahead with the goal of P. Victor. Only then Manchester City player N.O' Really then scored to equalize again. He scored in the 39th minute to equalize for his team. In today's match, Manchester City is ahead of Barcelona in ball position and ball passing.

The match is now going to extra time, we might see this match draw till the last minute.

In the end the match ended 2-2. There is no doubt that both Barcelona and City performed brilliantly in this match. But the important thing is that we have seen a change in Barcelona's match strategy. The team performed well with the help of Hansi Flick. We had our doubts about hansi Flick's ability. But it seems that with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona will be able to perform well next season.

The Barcelona team scored two goals in the first half, and was leading by 2-1. However, Manchester City's overall performance in the first half was good. Manchester City players dominated the match in the first half. However, Manchester City conceded two goals.

On the other hand Barcelona failed to score any goals in the second half but we saw the dominance of the Barcelona players in the second half. However, Hansi Flick is still experimenting with his squad. If Hansi Flick succeeds, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to dominate La Liga next season. Barcelona will play with the aim of becoming champions.

Regarding Vitor Roque, this match is not vital for his future. If Barcelona needs money, selling Vitor Roque is the easiest way to raise it. It's just a pre-season match, my friend. I doubt it will change Barcelona's stance on Vitor Roque's future at the club.
I must admit, Vitor's a talented player. But the club's finances must be the priority.

Vitor Roque's performance in this match was very poor. I think Vitor Roque will play well in this match and Barcelona management and Hansi FLick will change their decision to sell Roque. But now I don't see this possibility anymore. Maybe we'll see Vitor Roque with another team next season.

[Out of mind]

In today's match, Manchester City did not succeed in attacking too much, due to which the match was lost against Barcelona on penalties. The game was full of attacks from start to finish with both teams drawing two of them which led to the last minute penalty shoot-out for Barcelona. In today's match, the Barcelona team had a strong attack, and they really improved their game again. It was interesting to see the game against Manchester City. Although both teams had plenty of attacking power in the game, Manchester City lost on penalties.  Manchester City missed two penalty shots and Barcelona capitalized on the opportunity to win the friendly. Moreover, Barcelona played better than Manchester United in today's match, and they kept the ball in their possession most of the time. At the end of the match, we could see the results of the two teams, Barcelona won by 3-6 and Manchester City lost.

Congratulations to Barcelona who managed to win today's match against Manchester City through a penalty shootout and the score became 6:3, it was extraordinary when Pep Guardiola played his best squad, it turned out they still lost badly in this trial match, with this result I think Barcelona's condition has improved, they seem ready to start the new season with a big challenge against elite clubs, even facing Real Madrid.

Talking about tomorrow Real Madrid will play against AC Milan, I will support Real Madrid in this match, I think Ancelotti did not play his best squad because without the main squad Real Madrid is also strong, I don't thinking Milan is weak, it's just that their performance is difficult to predict.

I pity Flick for signing up with Barcelona, I'm not sure how he is going to deliver for Barcelona when Real Madrid actually have one of the best mix up players in Real Madrid right now, even Laporta cried of Real Madrid monopoly of trying to have all the best players citing reference to Mbape deal they made successfully.

Hansi Flick's task is indeed difficult and of course it is not easy to make Barcelona better than last season, but of course Barcelona, ​​as a big club, will certainly try as hard as possible to make the maximum effort to become champions in Laliga.

but yes, of course it is very difficult for any team to become Laliga champions because yes, Real Madrid really has a lot of star players and of course Barcelona will definitely find it difficult to compete with them and according to the picture you show, it is clear that Real madrid has 1st and 2nd layer players. very great and strong and of course it is very difficult to say that Real Madrid will not be champions again.

and of course regarding the news about Nico Williams, there is also no certainty, so I predict that it will definitely be difficult for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid, but if Nico can be brought in by Barcelona, ​​then of course Real Madrid will have a strong rival because of course there is great potential for the Yamal and Nico duet to be repeated like in Euro 2024. But honestly I hope Barcelona can get Nico to make Laliga more exciting next season.

The match between Barcelona and Manchester City ended in a draw, namely 2-2. In this match I was quite impressed with Barcelona's performance, because in this match they were able to match Manchester City. Even though in this match Barcelona did not field their flagship player, with their second tier players Barcelona was still able to match Manchester City. Even though in that match Manchester City fielded Halland, this did not have a big impact on Manchester City, because in that match Halland did not score a single goal. So looking at Barcelona's current development, I am a little confident that in the coming season Barcelona will definitely be able to continue to compete quite hard with Real Madrid in Laliga. From here we can also see that Hansi Flick is really able to organize strategy and rotate Barcelona players very well. So Barcelona is very right to make Hansi Flick their coach. Because Hansi Flick is proven to have very good quality. Because it was proven that in this match Barcelona's performance was very good, even with second tier players. and talking about Roque, in this match his contribution was quite good. I'm sure Hansi Flick saw this, so Roque's chances of being sold by Barcelona might be slightly reduced. However, this is certainly not enough to convince Hansi Flick, so in the upcoming friendly match against Real Madrid, Roque must be able to maintain his good performance if played by Hansi Flick. Because if Roque can maintain his good performance, I am sure he will be retained by Barcelona.

[beerlover]

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?

The fact that they could doesn't mean that they should, those are very different stuff, they shouldn't do something like this. I mean first of all Nico already said that he plans on staying one more season, and after this season ends we do not know what the situation at Barcelona will be, but looks like instead of fixing things, they just focus on getting even worse, that's definitely a trouble, and I really fear what will happen to them.

Secondly, I believe that we are going to see something changing as well, it's not going to be easy at all. They may have the money if they end up selling some players, and put themselves in even bigger debt, Nico will not be playing for free, his salary would be insane to take on for a team like Barcelona who is in big financial trouble.

I believe that they are making a mistake trying to keep the team great, they should just let the team go and fix their financial situation first before they look for success. In any case, Laportes job is literally trying to say everything is fine, if he says it's all going down the hole then he will not be getting votes to keep his job, of course he is going to say they are capable of it, but in fact they are not at all.

Real Madrid are better than Barcelona in their strategies for years since failure of Galaticos 1.0 and Perez learned many things from it, to build up better strategies for Real Madrid recent years.

They got good success in La Liga, Champions League, and avoid bad transfers like Barcelona so that they don't fall to financial crisis and on verge of collapse like Barcelona. Depth of the squad in the graphics is an example for good strategy from Perez and Real Madrid.

Hansi Flick's task is indeed difficult and of course it is not easy to make Barcelona better than last season, but of course Barcelona, ​​as a big club, will certainly try as hard as possible to make the maximum effort to become champions in Laliga.

Hansi Flick will have difficulty to improve Barcelona defense if he wants to gain success with Barcelona. If he fails to improve defense system for Barcelona, there is very small chance of success there. Furthermore, attacking power of Barcelona was affected a lot last season with decreasing performance of Lewandowski because of ageing. Ageing effect on Robert Lewandowski can become bigger in a new season and this bring another big difficulty to Hansi Flick.
