La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[wmaurik]

I did see both teams field their main players with the same capacity, but everything went seriously and AC Milan managed to win this match, yes even though this was just a friendly match AC Milan looked very solid in the pre-season and of course Real Madrid was not so serious in the friendly match because they would be dangerous in the official match, but talking about the match earlier Milan was actually stronger even though Madrid also played Courtois Rudiger and many other names, but they still did not play well enough and in my opinion Madrid deserved to lose in this match.

Losing narrowly in a friendly match is a very common thing for the Real Madrid team even though it is very obvious that AC Milan really played very well when facing Real Madrid. Because a team like Real Madrid is a team that doesn't really care about less important matches like friendly matches so that Real Madrid players only enjoy the match without worrying about their defeat. And in general I also won't conclude that one of them is bad and one of them is good even though there are winners and losers in the match against one of them.

Pre-season matches are not very interesting due to the reasons mentioned, some teams do not give importance to the results of their matches. In official competitions, Real Madrid will obviously play with all their heart and will win those games, but perhaps not in friendlies during pre-season.

Losing 1-0 to Milan doesn't mean much, but Real Madrid probably won't want to lose to Barcelona even in a pre-season game. There is prestige to be fought for when Barcelona play Real Madrid's opponents on the pre-season tour, so El Clasico will probably attract the attention of many people. The match will be held at MetLife Stadium over the weekend, I will probably be looking forward to that match.

La Liga is interested more in building talents in the league as many youths are coming out every season and they're going to do well as the football in la liga is more about the skills and talents and not just over hyped as it is in other leagues. I like to watch la liga games because here there's more of football going on and not just players doing everything according to what the coaches wants. Another thing is the coaches are those that aren't that technical but loves football and they entertain we the fans very well. Endrick needs sometime for him to get use to the high pressure of playing for Real Madrid, I think he'll do just fine.

La Liga revives the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. Since these GOATs exits La Liga, it have never been the same but coming to the current days. These elite clubs are putting together good competition for the title and having talents that filled in the space. Barcelona and Real Madrid having top choices to make when it comes to their players. It's been one of the amazing stats for Real Madrid to recruit potential players for the promising future of the club.

Based on my opinion, I don’t think we are supposed to judge and team based on their performance on a friendly match because no matter the effort they will put in a friendly match is of no use to them because it has noting to add up in their performance of the season, and Real Madrid has a lot to achieve this season, so that is enough reason for them not to play that hot game against AC Millan.
Although we already know that Real Madrid are better than them, I will just say that since this is just a friendly match, all of them have done a good job, but that doesn’t determine that AC Milan can repeat that in the main season because Real Madrid will not allow that to happen.

Many of the main players did not join the pre-season tour so friendly matches are of course not important matches so defeats and wins are not important for some teams. But for AC Milan, of course they are building a foundation of strength and the results are quite good, achieving two wins when facing two big teams, be it Real Madrid or Manchester City.

For Real Madrid, of course, in the match against AC Milan, Ancelotti fielded reserve players or those who didn't get enough playing minutes so that Ancelotti could see the development of their quality in the friendly match. Statistically, of course AC Milan was able to beat Real Madrid in this match where AC Milan was able to trouble Real Madrid's defense by successfully firing 11 shots.

These elite clubs are putting together good competition for the title and having talents that filled in the space. Barcelona and Real Madrid having top choices to make when it comes to their players. It's been one of the amazing stats for Real Madrid to recruit potential players for the promising future of the club.

Real Madrid still has players with good potential in their squad even though there are always one or two players who take a retirement position at the end of each season like Toni Kroos did at the end of last season. However, Real Madrid always have good replacements that they can bring into their team so as not to lose the strength they have had so far. But for Barcelona itself, at this time it is still often hit by a financial crisis which makes it a little more difficult for Barcelona to get the best players so that Barcelona itself still has to rely on existing players and try to see some players with prices that are not too high for them to get.

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.

Actually in this case I don't think it's just about La Liga but almost every major competition is the same where in every season there are always a lot of young talents whose performance is very good.

We can take an example in other leagues such as the Bundesliga where Musiala, Wirtz, Ian Maatsen, Sesko and even Dani Olmo provide their own variations for the clubs they defend. Likewise for the EPL because there are several names that steal the attention of many eyes because of their performance. So in this case it's not only La Liga that is changing but indeed other major leagues are also implementing the same thing at this time where young players are always an asset for them apart from boosting performance, this is also a good business area because the price is indeed unquestionable.
Football is increasingly transforming at this time because its development is getting harder to predict and in the modern era today young people are quite dominant because their performance is indeed above average.

The number of talents in the La Liga is increasing every year and it makes me look more confident to the future. 

Endrick is a talented young player, although in the friendly match against AC Milan many were disappointed with his performance, but at the age of 18 of course he needs time to adapt. Because if I may say honestly, I was not impressed with Endrick when he played against AC Milan, but we must not forget that he is still young. Vini used to be like that when he first became a Real Madrid player, but after adapting he has now become one of the main players at Real Madrid, This will also happen to Endrick. Actually all leagues always have young talents but Laliga produces more talented young players.

August 15 is the day the new seasons begins by the way. I'm looking forward to watch Mbappe before anything else. I'm curious how long it will take him to adapt. I don't expect it to be too long honestly.

I also can't wait for the Laliga match to start, because many teams have added strength and improved their squads, and the most prominent in recruiting players this season is Real Madrid after the arrival of Mbappe. Of course this is what makes fans impatient to wait for Mbappe's game at Real Madrid. But personally I believe Mbappe will easily adapt to the team because the playing pattern implemented by Ancelotti is very suitable for Mbappe's game, namely running speed and having a hard kick.

[Baki202]

I agree with you. There are many young stars who will play in La Liga next season. This will make La Liga very interesting to watch. And I hope to see the same rivalry as in the Messi Ronaldo era. I think El Classico is not as exciting as a few seasons ago. Even though I think this is one of the best rivalries in football. Yamal, Mbappe, Guler, Endrick, and Nico Williams are wonderkids in La Liga. If Nico Williams joins Barcelona I think we will see El Classico again like a few years ago.

Yes, there are a lot of young players in the La Liga who are ready to actually build their career Since do you have a lot of people they look up to, Being a young player, you must be ready to Focus because you look at the likes of Ronaldo and Messi, they are two different people, but I've similar achievements and are always compared with each other just because of the way they should dedication to what they do a lot of players now don't really care about how or when they should build their self  they Always forget that Each is not always by the side so when you are young, it's an opportunity for you to take life seriously to be able to build your career, El Classico is always a clash, new players will show their self, the only reason am exited is to watch mbappe play in Real Madrid.

As a coach with sufficient experience, Hansi Flick knows very well the obstacles when he was appointed as a tactician for the Barcelona team. I had read several newspapers, before Flick started handling Barcelona he wanted to know more about the situation and management of Barcelona. So, Flick realized that Barcelona's condition was not healthy. which means, he will experience various obstacles either in signing players or non-technical problems for example. which in the end Hansi Flick also reviewed the players from the La Masia academy, at least he was looking for player options that could be brought to the main team to enter his squad in La Liga. proven, Barcelona is again rumored with its financial problems to bring in several names in the summer transfer window this. although several famous journalists always report Barca with the names of players who are soaring, but there have been no concrete steps they have taken in this transfer window. I mean, the players they are targeting are really brought to Camp Nou. with the news that is developing now, I am quite sure that Flick has no choice but to start working with or without bringing in the players he is looking for. the point is, Hansi Flick certainly has a target and mission to bring Barcelona better than the previous season. in his first season handling Barcelona will certainly go through tough challenges, but he is a coach with long experience. related to the Barcelona squad and its decline, whether in the front line or defense, he knows what he has to do. moreover, Barcelona has only played one friendly match. we cannot measure his performance yet, especially in the pre-season match is not a real campaign.

He has to do a lot of work in his first season in charge of Barcelona where Hansi Flick must be ready to evaluate the team's performance to be better this season. Whatever the method, he must be able to bring in new players with good quality, as Xavi has done in the previous two seasons. It is indeed not an easy matter for Hansi Flick this season because their rivals are so strong that they need adequate strength to block Real Madrid's progress this season.
Believe me, this is not an easy task, but he has to be really ready because we know the fans always demand trophies every season.

Deep truth. Real Madrid is one team that has understood the football business to some extent and they have taking the advantage of having good player selection and replacement strategies to overcome most of their opponents, once they are certain that a particular legend will be leaving the team or retiring from playing football they make a replacement available even before the player is retired this will make the team not to be affected in terms of performance because the player that is going to be used to replace the club legend has already started playing with the rest of the players even before the legend leaves the team.

For the Barcelona team I think the management has got to put in more effort in making sure that they see a way to settle the financial issues in the team because using the players they have right now and not adding more good players to the squad will definitely make the team not to be able to challenge Real Madrid in the league because they stand as their biggest rivals.

It's understandable that Real Madrid management has been quite clever in running the club, allowing them to maintain their existence over time. One key to Real Madrid success lies in their ability to manage player regeneration. They handle player transitions exceptionally well, and most of their recruited players have managed to meet expectations. While there have been a few failed to live up to expectations like Hazard, Real Madrid investments in other players have yielded the desired results. For the upcoming season, I believe Real Madrid strength will be even greater, especially with the acquisition of a significant player like Mbappe. In other words, Ancelotti squad has a strong potential to repeat last season success. Meanwhile, Barcelona, which is currently trying to emerge from a financial crisis, seems to be struggling to compete directly with Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy.

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.

Getting ahead seem to be a hard word to process for Barcelona with their current situation , they can still compete but the getting ahead will have a very low probability, even if they have the chance to get ahead then it will be a close call to oppositions which might not too last but everything at the moment are all Speculations , the seasone might start and the unpredicted might surge,putting everyone in a surprised state though I won't be too surprised because we are talking about sport ant thing can happen actually
Also, I think Barcelona is just realising so much from how they are loosing their academy youngsters which turns out to be fruitful for other clubs. though the vision was Xavis, I just  hope Flick will continue it but that doesn't mean the club should be flooded with academy players too
By the way, Olmo should also make a good impact and contribution

When you have money you can build a team like Real Madrid with many superstar players and young talents they have in their team.
Real Madrid has good players but that's not all they have and other than the superstar players they spent money on players like Guler in Real Madrid to help the team to have better performance even in the next years when players like Guler are more experienced.

I think the success of Real Madrid has been solely dependent on the regeneration of players they have been able to retain in the team and the new season is not exempted as they have acquired a power house that will light or the attacking force of the team more talking about the arrival of Mbappe in the Real Madrid team.

One important thing I have observed in the Real Madrid team right now is the age of the current squad in the team and their years the have in their contract, the management of Real Madrid has done exceptionally well as they are going to have great players even in the next four to five years who will be able to help them dominate the domestic league and champions League competition also. The only way for Barcelona this season is to work with what they have and try to avoid the players going on injury cause it's not going to be good to the team.

Surely Dani Olmo will take advantage of this opportunity as optimally as possible in Barcelona as an Attacking Midfield. Actually, Barcelona has been interested in getting Dani Olmo since a few months ago. And this time, they will be more serious to really realize it. And this opportunity becomes more real after the agreement with him. and this is just a few more steps for Barcelona to really get an agreement and sign with the club. It is undeniable that the financial problems experienced by Barcelona have limited their room to act regarding signing players. However, it seems that they have not given up on getting some of their target players to strengthen the club, whatever they can do.

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.

Based on transfer news, Chelsea reportedly agreed to Atletico Madrid's bid for Conor Gallagher of £33m up to €40m. On the other hand, the player has also shown his interest in joining Atletico Madrid. So, we just have to wait for the decision from the parties to continue the signing. This may happen before August 6th.

We know this match was not important and it was just a friendly match between AC Milan and Real Madrid but beating a team like Real Madrid with all the superstar players they have is a lot for any team and Ancelotti lost the game agist the team he was working there before.
Real Madrid had a good chance to test some players and give some chances to the younger players and they did it.
The dark side of this match was about César Palacios the player from Real Madrid who got an ACL injury and there is the chance for this player to lose some games and be absent for some months.

Indeed Dani Olmo was Barcelona players academy but not easy for signing him with financial difficulty and RB Leipzig want sell him trough instalment payment. Leipzig want getting cash by selling Dani Olmo although both side seems interested each other but lower bid offer from Barcelona make its difficult to release.
Barcelona not announced yet with new top transfer recently and make negotiation with several players such as Innaki Willians and Dani Olmo, currently the management have warn with Innaki Willians not wait him until next season and Barcelona want to sign him this season indeed not giving official bid offer for Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona should try to sign Dani Olmo because he used to play for their youth team. But it is not easy because Barcelona does not have a lot of money and Leipzig wants all money at once. Leipzig wants a lot of money for Olmo but Barcelona can not pay that much. I am also surprised Barcelona has not made formal offer for Innaki Williams yet because they really want him to play for them this season. Team leaders need to act fast to get these players because they could make team stronger. Hopefully Barcelona can find a way to get the players they need to compete with other top teams.

It feels weird when people focus more on the game's result than the players' performance. The game between Real Madrid and AC Milan had many exciting moments. But, people only talk about Real Madrid's loss to AC Milan, which is not even an important thing.
Real Madrid and AC Milan are equal in that game. Ancelotti is using this friendly to give his young players fitness, and nothing more. Also, it's Real Madrid's tradition of losing in preseason, and usually this means a great season for us.

Also to emphasize how Real Madrid rarely wins a preseason game when they win a UCL.
