La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Frankolala]

I think Nico Williams has officially become a Barcelona player. Because there are many rumored images circulating on the internet. It turns out that I was wrong, Nico Williams still seems to be in doubt. There is news that Nico Williams still wants to be with the Atlhetic Club for one more year. Reportedly, Barcelona has also given a warning for him, if he is not willing, Barcelona will not proceed with his purchase again. I don't understand if this is Barcelona's business strategy or indeed he will still stay at the Athletic club. 

Nico Williams is acting in a great class whereas he stays at Athletic Club. Though he could be playing anywhere, this child has skill and is choosing to stay where he is comfortable, where he is growing. In this sport, we really need more of that kind of loyalty and concentration. Barcelona says they wont be interested next year; thats simply tough talk. They're trying to pressure the kid, but Nico's not playing that game. A winner makes decisions; he is doing so now.

This tells all the young players out there not to hurry things, to take their time, to grow their abilities. And to the major teams: you cannot harass athletes today. The game is evolving, and its about time players began dictating the moves.

I had doubts that Nicole Williams will just jump to Barcelona without thinking twice of the club Bilbao that notured and brought him to the lime light, that would have been too harsh. Barcelona cannot threaten Nicole Williams of not signing him next season if he refuses to come to Barca because he still has a club that cares for him and he is loyal to them.

However, Nicole has his elder brother in Bilbao Nyaki Williams who will always advice him to the right thing to do, and I believe that his elder brother will be the reason why he still wants to play in Bilbao for one more season before leaving. Blood is thicker than water.

While some of the players in City vs Barça game were starter level, most of them weren't and we can't make a guess based on this game at all, for neither teams. We need to consider how we could make sure that we can make predictions based on the games that actually matter not these.

Barcelona is a far worse team than Manchester City and everyone knows this, like if they face each other in UCL quarter finals or something, do you have a doubt about City winning that? I have zero doubt that City would be able to win easily without a trouble. This is just a friendly and I can see at least 7 players that may not play during the season, from both sides combined.

So this was just fitness check and nothing more, plus this also makes them money too, friendlies are not free tickets, people still pay tickets for this and I think it is quite nice to see something like this, allows people to have a better chance and a greater result, also means merch deals as well, like getting jerseys or whatever for people who go to these games. So this was just for the money and fitness, nothing more was intended for this game and do not make any predictions based on the 2-2 tie result and predict anything about the season.

In essence, Barcelona and Man City in yesterday's match were not serious matches for both teams who wanted to try to play some second-tier players or even young players who would be considered if their performance was very competitive. Like some teams that appeared in this friendly match always used the young players they had and when there was one young player who had good talent, later it would be seen and developed by the coach to be made a second-tier player.

Barcelona, who currently still needs a lot of quality players, will certainly always try the young players they have to get players like Lamine Yamal who can be a wonderkid.

I never did though. I feel like, if Barcelona was financially stable, they wouldn't have hesitated pushing and bringing Nico Williams into the club. The European Championship was enough evidence that he deserves a big team and with the way he did during the euros, he showed he can play at the highest levels.
His brother shouldn't have been no excuse. Right now, if he goes to Barcelona, he'll be the first choice for Barcelona. You can see how the president of Barcelona expressed his love for the talented lad. At some point, even Paris Saint Germans also want Nico Williams so bad

Since he wouldn't be making such a move, them Barcelona should just make the signature of Daniel Olmo the major priority ahead of the new season.

In the news updates about Nico Williams, of course there is a lot of news that says that Nico Williams will choose to stay with Athletico Bilbao. So there are many assumptions that the offers from big teams that come to him will be rejected if Nico Williams prefers to stay. For this reason, the situation experienced by Barcelona is increasingly complicated because Barcelona management is only focused on Nico Williams in this transfer market, so if Nico Williams rejects Barcelona's proposal, of course the Barcelona camp will be quite disappointed. Yes, on the one hand, Nico Williams looks quite happy with Athletico Bilbao, so it is more likely that he will sign a new contract with Athletico Bilbao.

If in this situation Athletico Bilbao succeeds in containing Williams, of course their foundation of strength will be much stronger, which means they will not be tempted by the money that comes. For the owners of Athletico Bilbao, they will increase Williams' salary if he chooses to stay.

To be honest If Barcelona are willing to pay, Nico is willing to leave with hurry... he will love to play with Barca badly, don't know what those players do see that always want them to play for Barca NMW.
Beleive me Nico is willing to come to Barca , it's just the way the club has become it gives fame it self. However, at the moment I'm sick an tires of social medias feeding me with pots of lies every... I mean even Barca post are somehow confusing fr , I will just stick my eyes out of it at this stage best of luck to him and Barca

Well it is just a club friendly match therefore there isn't much analyzing we can do and get a good judgement that will help us to determine which of the clubs is going to have a better season but Barcelona tried their best in the match. Winning Manchester city with all their money and experience players should give the Barcelona team more believe that they can get something out of the coming season. The match ended in 2 gaols for each side but Barcelona won with penalties. The coach should build the squad from this victory and improve more as the squad has good players that if used well, they can help Barcelona to perform very well this season.

Barcelona has many problems especially related to the financial crisis they are facing. But on the other hand Barcelona has many talented young players who will be the foundation of the club in the next few years. I also hope Hansi Flick can make Barcelona better. If Barcelona can't get back to their best performance I don't think there will be another team that can stop Real Madrid's dominance this season. Real Madrid really has a squad that can be said to be the best team in the world. It seems like they want a treble winner this season.

Barcelona will not finish the season without a trophy, and based on how Barcelona and Manchester City played in preseason, I am confident that Barcelona will improve and challenge Pep Guardiola in the game. I believe that they will try to win the UCL next season, and even if they do not win the league, they will go far in the competition before being eliminated them in the competition.

I encourage Hansi Flick to make every effort to get William to the club, as he will undoubtedly benefit the team if given the opportunity. I've heard that if William does not return next season, they will no longer be interested in him and will instead look for another player. Athletic Bilbao is still interested in Williams and does not want him to leave the club. They say that if the boy can stay, his salary will be increased.But in my opinion is preferable he should go and move to a major club so he can receive difficult competition and play, Barcelona should just buy players because madrid are in terrific condition and they fit to compete any team in the league.

Don't take these games serious because it's pre-season. For a second, I don't even pick interest to watch them because the coaches are just using their second best XI for the purpose to selects their players. Barcelona and Manchester City will have in mind to continue searching for potentials in other young players because they're the ones that will serve as backup replacement for the key players when they probably get injured.

In as much as it was just a club friendly and one that a big deal shouldn't be made off it, this can serve as a basis for Barcelona to build their confidence that they can achieve a whole lot this season despite how challenging it's appearing to be, the fact that they had a fairly good performance is enough enough encouragement for them to keep their minds focused and trust that everything will eventually make sense and they will be able to get back that their firm competitive form both in their domestic league and other elite leagues this season. Another thing is this game should serve as a reference point for the coach for selections and remodeling.

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.

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.

Of course, Barcelona is a big club and a club that will not easily give up no matter what and how the conditions are. especially when compared to Real Madrid especially during El Classico, they will definitely always go all out to do it. Their spirit to always make the club better and better is highly recognized. it's just that for now, their condition is not good enough to support the high level of spirit and ambition that they have. And this is what makes quite a striking difference in the last few seasons with Real Madrid. And this is a big challenge for Flick to do it. Hopefully they will do their best.

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.

This is an undeniable fact. That is why, from the current squad composition, the possibility that will be in the Real Madrid backups lineup, on average, are very talented top players. So, Real Madrid is indeed more prepared in all lines. Not only in the front line, but also in the middle and back lines. They are ready with all of that. This is an undeniable fact. That's why, from the current squad composition, the possibility that will be in the Real Madrid backups lineup, on average, are very talented top players. So, Real Madrid is indeed more ready in all lines. Not only in the front line, but also in the middle and back lines. They are ready for all of that. Some of their players have returned to the club, Alaba is also recovering from his injury. And their squad is a done deal.

Ancelotti also said in a press conference that for now, their club is a done deal, the CB they had hoped for before has also been covered.

 This is a friendly match, Coach Hansi Flick of course wants his team to win against their opponent to create confidence for the fans. The match was exciting and open, true to the nature of a friendly match. In the first half alone, 3 goals were scored. After the friendly match with Man City, Flick can rest assured. His young players played well and even took the lead after the first half ended. That is the basis to believe that if they cannot recruit Dani Olmo or Nico Williams,  Barcelona can still be confident of a successful season. This result can be considered satisfactory on the debut day of coach Hansi Flick at Barcelona, ​​but it is a disappointment for Man City as they have gone four consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory.

Barcelona must be improving its squad. Mbappé's addition to Real Madrid is, of course, making their attack sharper. Also, the older players have perfect chemistry. That's the key we are missing at Barcelona after some players' departures. Cancelo and Félix contributed a lot last season, but they are back to their parent clubs.
So, Barcelona must have started from scratch again to rebuild the chemistry in the club. Still, people favored Real Madrid to win the La Liga trophy in the upcoming season over Barcelona. But I'm not fully underestimating Barcelona.

The game against City showed Barcelona has many talented young players. But, the result depends on how smart Flick is in using them. This is the key for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid for the La Liga title.
Barcelona is somewhat weakened after Cancelo left the club. But let's wait to see what kind of squad is being prepared by Flick.

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 also believe that Barcelona performance has improved under Flick after their penalty shootout victory over Manchester City. Barcelona performance against Manchester City was quite impressive, as they led in ball possession throughout the game. I don't think it's right to assume that since Barcelona was able to compete with Manchester City in the pre-season game they'll be able to compete with Real Madrid and other top clubs next season. Let's wait until the season starts and see how Barcelona continues to win.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is the favorite to win tomorrow's game against Milan because they are a team that we cannot underestimate, as shown by their performance last season when they defeated several teams in La Liga with second-tier players. Despite the fact that Real Madrid's odds are quite high, I will bet on them to win tomorrow's match against Milan.

Yes, we should not be too arrogant about Barcelona's victory this time because this is only a trial match and the real one has not started yet so it could be that Manchester City did not play seriously in this match and they let Barcelona be happy by creating many goals when else did Barcelona break into Man City's goal that big? I think if this is a Champions League match Barcelona will have difficulty against the club because the strength of Manchester City's squad is almost equal to Real Madrid's squad.

The odds for Real Madrid and AC Milan in this match are not much different, betting on Real Madrid is actually a good choice but it is also still risky, but betting on BTTS is the right option but the odds are only @1.34.
If you analyze their meetings so far in Friendly matches, Real Madrid actually always wins matches against Milan but I don't understand the bookies giving quite high odds to Real Madrid so it makes me confused 

[Out of mind]

Real Madrid's loss in the friendly match It's really surprising that Real Madrid lost 0-1 against Milan. Today in this friendly match, the Milan team gave a wonderful game, they scored a goal in the 55th minute and won the team with that goal. There was enough of a fight between the two teams from start to finish but Real Madrid though tried to level the game but could not succeed. Although in today's match, the young stars did not play for Real Madrid, because of which they could not formalize today's match well, because of which they lost. I have long believed that in the next matches Real Madrid will play with their young stars and the game will be better. As they lost today's friendly match against Milan, but maybe they will be more tough to face all the other teams in the next matches. Real Madrid will definitely give their best performance, maybe they didn't win today's match against Milan, but they will definitely do better next time.

Why be surprised? We already know this match is part of a trial so whatever the result is certainly not a big problem the most important thing is that these young players get more experience before starting the real season, our attention turns to Endrick who just joined last month but to be honest I don't expect much from him because I think he needs to adapt. With this result, Ancelotti can see what needs to be improved and see who is more worthy of being in the starting line-up.

These young players are being prepared for the next few seasons when older players move or retire so Ancelotti should have more matches like this/friendlies match, we will see a different Real Madrid team in the next 2 seasons. Real Madrid still have 3 games ahead before the new season starts so let's see how this young player plays.

[tottong]

It is not impossible for Barcelona to take players from their own academy to strengthen the Barcelona team next season, but if you look at other big teams that are already strong enough in several competitions, of course not all of their players are young. Because any team also really needs several players who already have experience and are also not too old to be relied on as main players in a team. But if the young players from the academy will certainly need more time for them to be able to develop, while Barcelona itself really wants the La Liga trophy and also the Champions League again next season.

Senior players can be combined with several young players so that Barcelona's strength remains strong. Financial problems make it difficult for them to buy some good players because of the lack of money so they are forced to use existing players.
While young players do not have experience so they need some senior players in the team.
For the competition the La Liga and Champions League titles will be much more difficult because the strength of the players they have is not very promising. The coach's job is how to ensure that Barcelona continues to compete at least for the top three positions in the standings next season.

I had doubts that Nicole Williams will just jump to Barcelona without thinking twice of the club Bilbao that notured and brought him to the lime light, that would have been too harsh. Barcelona cannot threaten Nicole Williams of not signing him next season if he refuses to come to Barca because he still has a club that cares for him and he is loyal to them.

However, Nicole has his elder brother in Bilbao Nyaki Williams who will always advice him to the right thing to do, and I believe that his elder brother will be the reason why he still wants to play in Bilbao for one more season before leaving. Blood is thicker than water.

In the news updates about Nico Williams, of course there is a lot of news that says that Nico Williams will choose to stay with Athletico Bilbao. So there are many assumptions that the offers from big teams that come to him will be rejected if Nico Williams prefers to stay. For this reason, the situation experienced by Barcelona is increasingly complicated because Barcelona management is only focused on Nico Williams in this transfer market, so if Nico Williams rejects Barcelona's proposal, of course the Barcelona camp will be quite disappointed. Yes, on the one hand, Nico Williams looks quite happy with Athletico Bilbao, so it is more likely that he will sign a new contract with Athletico Bilbao.

If in this situation Athletico Bilbao succeeds in containing Williams, of course their foundation of strength will be much stronger, which means they will not be tempted by the money that comes. For the owners of Athletico Bilbao, they will increase Williams' salary if he chooses to stay.

I personally also doubt that Nico Williams will move to Barcelona and of course Nico Williams will also choose to play at Athletic Bilbao with his older brother Inaki Williams and of course Nico will prefer Athletic Bilbao with his older brother.

Of course, in this case, Barcelona will definitely be very disappointed because of course the hope is that Nico Williams will play for Barcelona and have a duet with Yamal and of course to create goals and win for Barcelona. However, if Barcelona succeeds in bringing in Nico Williams, of course Barcelona's strength will be stronger and it seems that without Nico Williams, of course Barcelona's strength will definitely be strong, but of course it won't be as strong as if Nico joined.

Of course Barcelona really has to make another plan to buy players who can make Barcelona even better for the next season because of course the hope of having Nico Williams is certainly very difficult and of course next season it is not certain that Williams will want to join.

but yes, of course Athletic Bilbao still needs Nico and of course if Nico leaves it will be difficult to find a replacement like him and yes, it seems that that way Nico will really feel at home in Bilbao and of course will continue to defend Bilbao.

Real Madrid lost their first pre-season match against Inter with a very narrow score (1-0). However, this is not surprising because in that match Real Madrid did not field many of its main players, but only fielded the majority of its second tier players. Even though Modric played in that match, he was not strong enough to bring Real Madrid to win the match. Because Modric is now old, his performance is not as good as before. Apart from that, if you look at the squad that Milan fielded in this match, you can see that many of Milan's main players were also involved in the match. So it is natural that Milan won this match, because the players they fielded were also far superior to the players fielded by Real Madrid. Actually, Milan should be able to score more than one goal in this match, but it seems that Real Madrid's second tier players are making things quite difficult for Milan.

A team as big as Barcelona will not target just to be able to enter the top three, I think even though they are currently slumping, they will still target to be able to win La Liga next season or at least they must be able to compete fiercely with Real Madrid in the title race.

To combine young players and senior players to create good performance in a team is not easy, they must have quality young players and experienced senior players to be able to match it and currently the Barcelona squad is still unstable for that, as happened last season.
And to make many changes is also impossible because of the financial problems that the Barcelona team is currently experiencing, indeed the situation is now quite difficult and with whatever it is, the hope is only on the new Barcelona coach how to manage this team with a mediocre squad.
