La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[karabiber]

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.

Barcelona don't have the luxury of buying as many players as they want. Unlike Real Madrid, who can buy any player they want, Barca's financial problems mean they have a spending limit. Therefore, Barca need to build a very balanced squad. Therefore, for Hansi Flick to be successful, he will need to keep players like Vitor Roque, Eric Garcia and he will need to know how to get the most out of every player at the club. For now, Hansi Flick's job is not easy and Xavi said before leaving Barca that Flick must be ready to suffer.

That is the burden that every new Barcelona coach must carry. Limited funds mean they can't sign as many players as they like. If for example, they have to sacrifice old players to bring in new players, it might be a solution, but it doesn't guarantee that their performance will improve because the players who leave may have made a contribution to their previous performance. However, if in these conditions it turns out that the coach can give the trophy, then it will be an invaluable source of pride because, with all these limitations, the coach was able to show his greatness.

Yes, that's right. Barca's financial condition is indeed very worrying and this is very different from its rivals who have stable finances. So this season Barca can't do much to compete in La Liga with Real Madrid, because Real Madrid's squad is better even though Real Madrid started the pre-season badly after losing to AC Milan but that doesn't affect that Real Madrid is a strong team this season.

If Barca wants to return to its former glory, Barca must focus on improving its financial condition first, looking for talented young players who are not too expensive. Because as I recall, Xavi was also fired for criticizing Barca's finances too much. So I conclude that Barca's real problem is finance, if this is resolved Barca will be successful again because they can bring in great players and no less importantly the condition of the dressing room will also be good, there will be no misunderstandings between the coach and the players like what happened to Xavi last season. Hansi Flick's job is not easy, so he needs time to return Barca to being a team that is feared by his opponents.

Barcelona currently has financial problems that allow them to be selective in bringing in star players, but to say they don't have the money at the moment seems we are very wrong, because however, currently Barcelona is very active in bringing in several new players in order to strengthen their squad next season,Besides that, isn't Barcelona currently the club that pays the highest player salaries in La Liga?
Currently Barcelona defense looks a bit weak when they won over Manchester City in yesterday's friendly match, but I think this is very natural because Hansi Flick fielded a young squad in their defense and maybe we won't see this in official matches next season, But even so, of course they still need additional players in their defense line for next season, currently Barcelona is reportedly only one step away from recruiting Dani Olmo after all personal terms have been agreed between Olmo and Barcelona, ​​then why do we keep saying that Barcelona doesn't have the money to support of Hansi Flick?

Guardiola just smiled after the match ended, there was no expression showing any disappointment, meaning he was not too serious and playing with whatever the result was because he did not consider this match important. The readiness of the players in official matches is much more important for Guardiola, Manchester City remains strong even though they lost in the penalty shootout because most of the players who played were still young. Hansi Flick can immediately assess several young players who have great potential in the future, Pau Victor has managed to impress Hansi Flick with his performance, maybe he will be the player that Flick will launch from La Masia.

Yes, true, I confirm what you say, even friendlies are for experimenting.  They are the only games where you can allow yourself to dare and do something crazy.
If you don't try in these matches you don't have other opportunities to do adequate tests so I wouldn't take the result into account.

It's difficult to select who stays and who leaves right now for Barcelona. If you ask me, I'll say Raphina, Araujo, Frankie De Jong and Ferran Torres should all be sold likewise that Vitor Roque guy.  Frankie De Jong is solid as fvck but believe me when I say that he's an Injury prone player ans has not been consistent despite being a solid player for Barcelona.

Araujo should have been a done deal to another club right now but his Injury has made things difficult for Barcelona to profit from his sale.
Hansi Flick is a top quality manager, I don't deny his capabilities, but, he'll need players. Right now, take a good look at the Barcelona squad and you'll see that they lack a natural defensive midfielder. It'll be another difficult season. To shield the defense and avoid unnecessary bookings ( Yellow Card )

Has the move of Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid been finalized already? He is one hardworking player, I believe he'll successfully achieve all he wants in La Liga.

The conclusion is that Barcelona currently has financial problems but it doesn't mean it can't develop the team's performance because in the transfer market there are many players who still have the quality of performance that suits Barcelona at a cheap cost or agents free players.
Barcelona may be just in the process of repairing its finances, so at the moment there is not much choice but to bring players and coaches who are willing to accept the salaries that have been offered by the Barcelona management.

Yes, the point is that whatever final result is obtained in a friendly match is basically not important, because the most important thing is that the coach knows the ability of the young players he plays. So,when the coach gets something good in the performance of the young player played in this friendly match, it is likely that the young player will get the opportunity for the officialmatch later. So indeed, it is not surprising if they lose in a match like this that they will not be disappointed with the result.

Because after all, they are also very prioritizing to keep their main players good to play in the new season later next season. After all,  there is still plenty of time for the coach to be able to give his young players the opportunity to play and show their skills. So yes,there is no problem about winning or losing results in friendly matches at this moment, because what determines the exact result is in the competition or official match when the new league has started.

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.

I agree with that which you have said and to add, we cannot even try to judge or make comparison on Madrid based off this game because literally they didn't appear like they took the game seriously and they managed to not concede beyond one goal, that in itself is a Fair one but for Milan, this will help them know the strength of their tactics and strategy for the new season, probably by next game, ancelotti will roll out some more key players to facilitate their results and aswell getting them warmed up already for the season ahead.

Yeah, this indication has been seen since Barcelona released Messi to PSG and until now Barcelona has not managed to fully recover. This season Barcelona has not been very active in the transfer window they only brought in a few young players, most of them come from internal academies that means they save on transfer budget. Recently we heard that Barcelona is still targeting 2 expensive players and one of them is predicted to arrive in the near future, well what makes us wonder is whether Barcelona applied for a loan to get funds? If true then it will be even more of a burden on them for next season, it means it will take longer to get out of this situation.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

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

I hope that Barcelona doesn't take too long to get ahead because it's a team that is good for the League. For me, Barcelona has a lot of competition with Madrid, with Girona, even with Atlético de Madrid. I'm a Madrid fan, a big one, but if Madrid wins, I want it to beat the teams that have the best players, the best team, including the coach, so the victory has a better taste, but beating a team that is weakened doesn't feel good to win, because Obviously they're not at 100% That's why I want Barcelona to do very well.

Barcelona agree six-year deal with Dani Olmo, present new, improved offer to RB Leipzig

Barcelona appear to have taken a major step in bringing back one of their former youth academy stars and one of their main priorities in the summer transfer window as the Blaugrana have agreed a six-year contract with Dani Olmo and presented a new and improved offer to his current club RB Leipzig, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Endrick has such a big media support behind him though. You must have noticed it during his introduction to the fans at the stadium and so on as well. I hope he doesn't stay under the expectations and proves himself to everyone in time. He has just turned 18 years old. Yamal, Arda Güler and now Endrick... The number of talents in the La Liga is increasing every year and it makes me look more confident to the future. 

I honestly don't see anything spectacular about Endrick. I can't put him in the same sentence with Yamal and Guler. I feel one reason that has increased the media support around Endrick is because he's Brazilian and he sparked an interest from Real Madrid. I just don't seen the potential in him that has created all the fuss around him.
The Madrid teenager I believe has a very high ceiling is Adar Guler. I watched him at Fenebache and I was very impressed. I knew immediately that a big European club would come for him but I never expected it to be so soon and I never expected it to be Real Madrid. He's a very creative playmaker that can succeed at Real Madrid if given the chance. He can play as an attacking midfielder and as a right winger.
Yamal and Guler are the teenagers I am excited about. I believe they can go all the way to become the best players in the world, but I don't see that in Endicks.
Endricks has an advantage though. Hes a striker so if he can very good at scoring goals, despite being bad at other crucial aspect, he can always stay relevant.

Seems his scared of injuries, it's a nice move from the coach because we have drawn really close to the start of the season and whereas majority of the key players are not fit to play at the beginning then it becomes a disadvantage to their end. These injury trauma is already happening in the Premier League, it's best he avoids taking such risks.What really shows that Madrid wasn't that serious was the fact that Milan took both the win and possession of the match, it wasn't a serious game not even tied with any achievement, this could alone boost the confidence of Milan once the season begins.

There is also no point if the coach reacts excessively when at the end of the instrument and the team he leads not to get the best results. Because it will not affect anything and actually this is what they need to accept because they can analyze where their shortcomings and begin to be able to do an evaluation so that they can be more very prepared when the season is completely rolling.
I can say this is their time to have fun, because there is no pressure they receive, so they can play as relaxed as possible. And for players who rarely get minutes to play in official competitions, in this match they can show their best abilities to make coaches more interested in them and start giving trust to play minutes in official competition or in other words this is a chance for them to show off even though This is a friendly match. Isn't Ronaldo also glimpsed by Ferguson because of the friendly match at that time? Yes, right.

Has the move of Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid been finalized already? He is one hardworking player, I believe he'll successfully achieve all he wants in La Liga.

The speculation about Conor Gallagher transfer to Atletico Madrid is still uncertain because whether it Atletico Madrid or Chelsea hasn't deal yet and so far Chelsea has been publish Conor Gallagher price tag approximatelly 38 million and it says actually Atletico Madrid has been agree to pay according to his price tag but unfortunately Atletico Madrid still not officially bidding so this transfer has a potention will not happend

Actually Conor Gallagher was including to Enzo Maresca plan for next season even Enzo Maresca was promised one place on Chelsea starting lineup so that's why Chelsea was offering new contract to Conor Gallagher because Chelsea want he will be stayed much longer with them but unfortunately Conor Gallagher has been refuse to extended his contract which offered by Chelsea because Conor Gallagher want more duration into his contract

Conor Gallagher want long term duration contract but Chelsea only offering him 2 years extended which Conor Gallagher don't want it and actually some of Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa or Tottenham has been showing their interest to Conor Gallagher but he was refuse the offers from those clubs because if he want to moved from Chelsea then more likely Conor Gallagher will choose to playing outside England

If Atletico Madrid withdraw to gets Conor Gallagher and the transfer will not happened then possibly he will be stayed and spend his time in Chelsea until his contract expired on 2025 and for Atletico Madrid i have been discuss about this before because currently they lost 2 forward players so i think instead of buy new midfielder Atletico Madrid should be give their priority to gets new striker

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.

Barcelona's financial status is the issue why they can't get expensive players that make the squad strong like other clubs; they don't have enough money. Although I know that even with current players, they are still trying to do something for themselves, but still, the players are not that good that will give them a trophy. I think there are only a few players in the Barcelona squad that are very good, and only they can do what Barcelona wants.

However, regardless of how good Lewandoski is, I think next season will be difficult for him because next season is going to be a tough one and his age is going to affect his performance. The best solution is to get new players, and since there is not enough money, Fick should be ready for many challenges next season because it is not going to be an easy task for him.

I can't easily conclude on Hansi Flick's performances in Barcelona because the season has not yet started, but what I can only say now is that with this current Barcelona squad, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to fully compete with Real Madrid in the La Liga trophy run. Additionally, in other tough competitions like the Champions League, it may be very difficult for them to compete with other top teams.

Barcelona's squad is not that bad, but they need some quality players to strengthen the team's performances so they can compete with other teams in the Champions League. With a tactically adept coach, even average players can be turned into high-quality players. We saw what Girona achieved last season; despite not winning any trophies, we witnessed their great performance. If Girona could play well last season with an average squad, it is very possible that Barcelona can perform even better with a good coach.

In a report that was disclosed yesterday, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has dismissed any possibility of a new signing for the club. Before he said that the club was done with their signings of the summer, I had initially said told us on this thread that I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to make any signing again this summer after Endrick. The club currently have all it takes to retain their Spanish and European titles next season and I hope the new players will adapt quickly. With the recent additions, I expect Real Madrid to dominate all the competitions they'll be playing next season unless the club is hit with series of injuries to the important players in the team.

[bitgolden]

I’m not surprised by seeing Ac Milan defeating Real Madrid, it is a friendly match and we can’t judge a team by their pre-season performance and even if we want to judge a team it shouldn’t be Real Madrid, in the match Real Madrid tried their best to play very well because Ac Milan is unable to score a goal in the match until the coach substitutes some of Real Madrid talented players are put the La Masia players to have some minutes to play, Ac Milan knows that they can not defeat Real Madrid in any competition, even when Real Madrid are not complete they still find it difficult to score a goal until after the substitution.

Real Madrid is the best team in the world, Real Madrid's next friendly is going to be against Barcelona and some Real Madrid key players are going to return during the match, players like Vinicius, Rodrygo, and others are going to be back, the only players that are not going to be back will be Tchouameni, Mbape, Bellingham but I’m sure the remaining players will be back to play against Barcelona and we all will see what Real Madrid is going to do this coming season, Real Madrid is going to play seven competition this season and I believe Real Madrid is going to win more than three trophies.

Feels like they also did not play most of their starters neither, hence why the loss could be unimportant for them. They played most of their bench players and that's why they got that loss, but looking at Milan they weren't really playing all of their starters neither.

In any case, if this was like lets say quarter finals or semi finals at the UCL and both teams were playing their best players, you think Milan would stood a chance, even just a little bit? Of course not, they would lose by a big margin and that would not be really that shocking neither.

I think it's quite obvious that Real Madrid is not really pushing their players to limit before the season starts, they are aware that all of their players played big games even during the summer, so they are just hoping to relax and rest a bit more. They can start the season not so amazing, and even lose some points on early games, but they know that when UCL starts, they will take the lead at both UCL and la liga and finish the season by winning both of them. This is just a bit more about giving players who normally do not play too much a chance to show themselves and how good they can be which gives Ancelotti a chance to see them.

Ageing effect on Robert Lewandowski can become bigger in a new season and this bring another big difficulty to Hansi Flick.

For Hansi Flick to accept the offer of becoming Barcelona coach, I believe he is ready to face the challenge brought before him about the financial downgrading of the Barcelona team to sign new quality players, to make use of the currently available players to win matches and to top the laliga league table but not to win the trophy.

I think Hamsi Flick has a big task ahead of him to fix in Barcelona, to keep the players fit and give them the courage that they can get to the top of the table once again with Him not with Xavi, despite the change of new manager with new football tactics and new players signed
