La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[kawetsriyanto]

If you evaluate teams by their players, then Real Madrid looks stronger now, it's hard to argue with that, but the strength of a team is not always determined by that alone. If there is a team in La Liga that can stand up to Real Madrid, it is Barcelona, ​​Atletico often falls short of competing with them. And while Real Madrid is strengthening its team, Barcelona cannot afford it due to financial problems.

No one will argue that the squad of Real Madrid is getting stronger. We take a look on the quality of Real Madrid players, they have more quality players now. With 2 new top strikers (Mbappe and Endrick), Real Madrid is expected to have better performance for the next season. However, it is true that there are many factors to determine their performance, it is not only about the quality of the players. If Ancelotti can't choose a proper strategy and fail to build the mentality of the players, Real Madrid performance may be beyond our expectation. Having many top players in the squad sometimes has a certain challenge, it is about the ego of the players. This makes them to play more individually and it will be difficult to order them playing as a solid teamwork. But I still believe that Ancelotti always knows how to deal with this possible problem.

I think both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid still can compete with Real Madrid. They are also reshaping their squads, it is very possible that they may play better with the new squads. Atletico Madrid has a new striker (Alexander Sørloth), the striker with the second highest number of goals last season. This can boost the performance of Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile Barcelona, they will be always the real competitor of Real Madrid. Even if they are in financial crisis, they still have good squad. Yamal is the most shining player in Barcelona now. This player can be one of the factors of better performance of Barcelona in the new season.

And while Real Madrid is strengthening its team, Barcelona cannot afford it due to financial problems.

I wouldn't want to give the impression that Real Madrid is unbeatable or can't be matched by any of the Spanish clubs at the moment because you just can't say never in football but if you ask me, I don't think the current Barcelona squad has all it takes to match Real Madrid's strength. Winning Real Madrid in a preseason friendly game doesn't mean that Barcelona is now a complete squad because the game wasn't a competitive one so  you don't expect Real Madrid players to be at their best. Considering the current Real Madrid team, the quality and depth of squad, I don't think there's any Spanish club at the moment that can match Real Madrid's strength.

I will not underestimate Barcelona but does Barcelona squad have quality players like Madrid? Of course not. We all know who are the starting players for Madrid when this season has started and we all know who is the current Madrid coach who can always provide satisfactory results in every season. Maybe Barcelona can put up a fight a few times in La Liga matches but only in certain moments such as when Madrid is busy chasing the UCL match and Barcelona takes the opportunity to beat Madrid. But still Ancelotti will not let Barcelona win the La Liga title this season.

No, Real Madrid is a team that can play in two different competitions and be successful in them. You don’t need to worry yourself too much that they can’t win the two major trophies in the competition they’ll be participating in. The UEFA Champions League is a competition we all know Real Madrid does not joke with and at the same time wining the La Liga will give them another joy of feeling great, being called the best team and the king of champions league. Barcelona still looks like a mediocre team to them even in the next season, so if they really want to defeat Real Madrid, they’ll have to try more because it won’t be an easy task for them next season.

Barca has it's own squad but mostly filled with young players from academ unlike Real Madrid that has some new bought completely strong players which Is no doubt that they can take on any team with no fear.on ther other hand Barcelona has some previous academy players who are making a good performance... thus,they have more now , alsothey had back some loaned out players which are now back (like Torre).
Can they really take on their major opponent?? We can't say but they still have a strong squad (some with injuries which are still recovering  like Pedri and Gavi the two Golden boys)and i think De jong should.alsi be back for their games ... Pedri is good but they aren't letting him test with injuries which is making him loose form. At the end ,we hope for a exciting season ahead

[MAAManda]

It was only a friendly yes but it was still nice to watch an El Clasico though.    But of course we can't take this match that serious. The teams didn't even start with their usual lineups completely. It was a chance for some young players to show their skills to their coaches as well. I liked especially Arda Güler among them. He made a really nice assist. His ball control and finish was also great but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

This El Clasico can't be taken as seriously as when they met in the domestic league & UCL, but we also can't consider this match as unimportant match.

The 3 goals scored in this match didn't come from regular players, they were players from the second squad of each team, Nico Paz & Pau Victor. IDK much about Nico Paz, but Pau Victor is a potential player, Barcelona were lucky to get him from Girona.

[AirtelBuzz]

Is it me or is Madrid training and letting Barcelona win this friendly game 🤔? 2nil but I don't see that force they (Madrid) normally use whenever they face Barcelona, is entertaining but they also like playing with pride, nobody wants to lose. Vinicius Jr came in and things are now getting hot for the Barcelona defense, imagine they have Bellingham and the other stubborn players who knows how to cause problems for opposition defense. A friendly game but to me I can't wait to get something in this encounter if am the Madrid manager. Barcelona seems to be in control in the first half but they need to defend more in the second half since they are now being forced to defend other than attack, when the season begins I won't be surprised if Madrid make the Barcelona side play more from the back .

82 minutes have already passed in the friendly match between Barcelona and their arch-rivals Real Madrid. Barcelona have scored two goals at this stage and Real Madrid have just scored one. Today's game looks like we are back to the old Barcelona side who are struggling against Real Madrid. Currently there is a huge gap between these two teams be it in terms of performance or players. In the friendly match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Barcelona is playing a 4-2-3-1 formation and Real Madrid is playing a 4-3-3 formation. P. Victor for Barcelona alone scored two goals, his performance was excellent in today's match. Before this match today Barcelona and Real Madrid have faced each other in the last five matches there Real Madrid win four matches and Barcelona winning one match. Today maybe Barcelona can finally win maybe we can see that. 

I'd say this is just a friendly game and when next these two meet again it won't end the way it did tonight and with the fact that we saw the young star who scored 2 goals to give Barcelona the winning, I hope he can be given a chance to squeeze his way through to the senior team.  Real Madrid came all out in the later part of that encounter, where Vinicius Jr became a problem for Barcelona but let's imagine Madrid team with everything they have got including Mbappe, can the Barcelona side withstand the pressure? To me I don't see Barcelona getting anything in the next or should I say first El Clasico of the season, it will be all about Madrid because they have everything to beat Barcelona, so I'd say this isn't a game to say Barca are a big fit for Madrid.

Let's see how these two teams can perform after this. Real Madrid will obviously be ahead of Barcelona because they are very strong and they have many talented players in their team. Moreover, if we look closely at this friendly match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, we will see that just like Mbappé, Rodrigo was absent in Real Madrid, Lamine Yamal was absent in Barcelona. The coaches of these two teams may have wanted to test how the youngsters could play for which they fielded mostly young players in the friendly match. After this, when these two teams meet, it may not be a friendly match but a main stage match. Then in that match both the teams will field their full strength squads to face each other. Maybe in that match no one will talk except anyone, everyone will try to give maximum performance to win their team.

[Solokan]

I actually do not take the results of preseason friendly games serious because of the fact that players most times do not give their best in other to avoid being injured but if there's anything I agree with your submission about Barcelona's performance in their El Classico game against Real Madrid last night, it's part that you highlighted how they're playing to the tactics and style of the club's new manager Hansi Flick. The players like you rightly said are adapting too fast and that's good development for the club as they continue to prepare for next season.
That being said, I'm still very much convinced that the current Real Madrid team will not lose to Barcelona if that game if last night was a competitive one.

A pre-season friendly match is clearly not a serious match and of course all the players usually don't always play at full strength because if they play at full strength then the risk of injury is potentially large if the players play at full strength and of course in a pre-season match it can certainly be called a match. trials for a coach to create strategies for playing second-tier players and practice making strategies and breakthroughs in preparation for real matches such as in the domestic league or UCL.

Indeed, I also saw Hansi Flick, he was very good and the players adapted very quickly to him and of course we deserve to applaud Flick because he can make Barcelona good and in yesterday's Elclasico match he was really great at arranging strategy. but yes, of course, if for example Real Madrid could take advantage of opportunities well of course the result of the match would be different but what is clear is that Real Madrid was not too serious in that match but I saw in yesterday's match we could see that Flick's strategy was very good and Ancelotti also learned a valuable lesson because of course Ancelotti can see Real Madrid's shortcomings that must be corrected.

but honestly, I am very happy to see the Elclasico match and of course I want to see the next Elclasico match in Laliga which will definitely be more exciting.

For example, last season, Real Madrid was able to win both trophies, the Champions League and the La Liga title, so whatever the conditions, Real Madrid never let their guard down even though they are in different competitions, especially prestigious competitions. Barcelona cannot expect Real Madrid to only focus on the Champions League. Look at how great Real Madrid was last season, even without a pure striker, they were still able to perform impressively, especially next season where they already have a goal-hungry striker. I think Barcelona will be easier to eliminate.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are big clubs and they have many star players in their squads. See their club profiles for comparison.
https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-barcelona/startseite/verein/131
https://www.transfermarkt.com/real-madrid/startseite/verein/418
They have nearly similar national team players, 18 for Real Madrid and 19 for Barcelona but Barcelona are more domestic with 41.4% are foreign players than Real Madrid with 76% for foreign players.

Estimated value of players in their squad are different with higher value belongs to Real Madrid, €1.36B, and the lower figure belongs to Barcelona at €890.5M.

It is on transfer market and estimated value but in their player quality, differences are not too big and performances of two teams can not be too big different in a  next season too. Real Madrid with a little better squad and more experienced players, will have good advantage than Barcelona and they have higher probability to defend their La Liga title.

I think Barcelona will be easier to eliminate.

It is undeniable that Real Madrid has equal ability in their squad so they will not be reckless wherever they compete, of course with the arrival of Mbappe they want trophies to bring Mbappe faster because this player is very minimal in terms of trophies so now their goal is to provide trophies and cups, but Barcelona will remain a barrier for its rivals of course Madrid will not be free with the arrival of Flick of course they expect something good because currently they are very far behind compared to Madrid, but Flick he can work with any ability so I think Barcelona will remain a competitor for Real Madrid forever will not disappear.

Maybe Madrid will get trophies very easily because they have good players and are equal in terms of ability as they should, but Barcelona cannot be removed from their shadow of course Barcelona will continue to try to beat their rivals Madrid, so I think the game between these two clubs will never disappear.

Real Madrid lost in a friendly match against Barcelona, ​​a great match we had the chance to enjoy. Although Real Madrid lost, Madrid players also performed very well in this match. It was a competitive and exciting match.

Both teams have formed squads with their young players. Modrich was an experienced player in Madrid's squad and Lewandowski was an experienced player in Barcelona's squad. But the main attraction in this match was the young players of both the teams.

Madrid's attack was Diaz-Endrick-Arda Guler. Endric and Guler played quite well today. However, Nicolas Paz scored the only goal for Madrid. On the other hand, Pau Victor and Torre were in Barcelona's attack. Both played very well in this match. Pau Victor scored two goals in this match.

I didn't see the game because I'm not very interested in friendly games and games in the "battle of the second teams" format, but the fact that Real lost from the point of view of the omen is very good. Last year, Real also lost to Barcelona in the USA, but the season was absolutely wonderful.
I hope that Real will play with their main squad in the Super Cup and we will see for the first time what this dream team is capable of.

Maybe Barcelona can put up a fight a few times in La Liga matches but only in certain moments such as when Madrid is busy chasing the UCL match and Barcelona takes the opportunity to beat Madrid. But still Ancelotti will not let Barcelona win the La Liga title this season.

although it is true that it is certain that Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona but it does not mean that Barcelona cannot match Real Madrid, also if you look at the statistics of the players, Real Madrid is indeed superior but it must be remembered that the ball is round so there is a possibility that Barcelona can match Real Madrid and not only for Barcelona there are other teams that might be able to match this strong Real Madrid.

although Real Madrid divides its focus with UCL but it is true that Ancelotti will not let Barcelona lead in La Liga. because Ancelotti is undoubtedly able to remain consistent even though his focus is divided. Barcelona must be able to take advantage of the opportunity and they must be able to rise even though it seems difficult but it is impossible for them to continue to slump.

[SmartCharpa]

To be honest, I was surprised that Real Madrid lost to Milan, even if Real Madrid did not field their best players in this match, I didn't expect them to lose unless the game ended in a draw.

Pre-season matches are indeed very difficult to predict even though Real Madrid is a strong club but if they do not field their best squad they will still have difficulty beating a club like Milan.
I initially thought there would be many goals scored in their meeting this time but unfortunately Real Madrid could not score at all the match became uninteresting.
It's a shame that even at low odds I still lose betting on friendly matches is indeed too risky but if you don't bet

Ancelotti allowed his young players to show how well they could play against AC Milan, but they lost without scoring a goal. I was disappointed that Madrid lost because I expected the players on the field to give their all to win the match so that the manager would consider them for future La Liga games. Endrick performance was great, but he was unable to score goals, he needed dangerous attackers like Vinicuis in that game to make his work easier. I want to see Mbappe in their next game against Barcelona, as both teams would like to put their top players in check ahead of next season battle.

It seems like you expect Real Madrid to win this friendly match but for me it doesn't matter, Real Madrid is still the best club even though they lost they also have good main players so they used the reserves for this pre-season match so there is no need to be too disappointed with the less than optimal results. I think in the next match even though they meet their arch rival Barcelona I think Real Madrid still won't use their main players because Ancelotti wants to rotate so that their main players get enough rest before starting the new season Mbappe will also not be used that easily in their meeting.

For their friendly match today I predict as below, in my opinion this match is difficult to predict even though Real Madrid is better but seeing the previous match where they lost to Milan I am hesitant to bet on Real Madrid only so I choose the option to bet on both.

Of course, even if Real Madrid loses to any opponent during the pre-season games, they are still the best club in the world, I cannot consider them a bad team just because they lost a match that is unimportant to them in anyway. It's clear that Ancelotti did not want to use his main squad for preseason games because he wanted them to recover before the season started, If he had let them participate in the preseason games, they might have looked exhausted because of the international games they had played. However, the match against Barcelona ended as you predicted, with both teams scoring a goal.

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona after losing their first game against Milan. The results of their last two games were unexpected. Rüdiger and Militão started the game against Barcelona, but their defense was poor, and conceding two goals. Ancelotti might have given Rüdiger time to recover before the La Liga games, he played several matches last season, including the international game with Germany, then he returned to Real Madrid and played their last two friendly games. I believe that after winning this game, some people will assume that Barcelona will be a threat to Madrid next season, but even though Madrid conceded four goals against Barcelona, I am still not confident in their game.

[Despairo]

The 3 goals scored in this match didn't come from regular players, they were players from the second squad of each team, Nico Paz & Pau Victor. IDK much about Nico Paz, but Pau Victor is a potential player, Barcelona were lucky to get him from Girona.

All of the goals are just tap-in, you can swap any player you want it that moment and they can make a score.

The first goal is lucky, the second goal is a mistake from Real Madrid's defenders, the third goal is a mistake from Barcelona's defenders.

It's Arda Guler that play really good in that match, I see he could be the next Ozil since he can give accurate pass.

[mamesso]

I think both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid still can compete with Real Madrid. They are also reshaping their squads, it is very possible that they may play better with the new squads. Atletico Madrid has a new striker (Alexander Sørloth), the striker with the second highest number of goals last season. This can boost the performance of Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile Barcelona, they will be always the real competitor of Real Madrid. Even if they are in financial crisis, they still have good squad. Yamal is the most shining player in Barcelona now. This player can be one of the factors of better performance of Barcelona in the new season.

It is clear that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will provide competition for Real Madrid, especially since they have the ability to make Real Madrid slip up. The transfer market will be utilized by both teams to increase their strength, even though Barcelona is currently experiencing a financial crisis, but they will look for ways to recruit new players. The arrival of Alexander Sørloth will increase Atletico's goal productivity as he was very productive last season, his arrival is also expected to fill the hole left by Morata who left for Milan. Even though Real Madrid has just managed to bring in Mbappe, it doesn't mean that Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will give up, they will try hard to make Real Madrid lose the La Liga title this season.

[Cryptmuster]

For example, last season, Real Madrid was able to win both trophies, the Champions League and the La Liga title, so whatever the conditions, Real Madrid never let their guard down even though they are in different competitions, especially prestigious competitions. Barcelona cannot expect Real Madrid to only focus on the Champions League. Look at how great Real Madrid was last season, even without a pure striker, they were still able to perform impressively, especially next season where they already have a goal-hungry striker. I think Barcelona will be easier to eliminate.

The last season was successful, but in the previous one they did not win any of these trophies, Barcelona won La Liga, and City became champions of the Champions League, and by the way Real Madrid's squad was approximately the same, so here even luck plays a big role, if City had won the Champions League quarter-final on penalties, it could have ended differently, or in the match with Bayern where there was a clear mistake by the referee...

I do not argue that Real Madrid looks very good now, but anything can happen to a team, a few unsuccessful matches, a few injuries can change everything, so although I consider Real to be the favorite for this season in La Liga, but now I am not ready to bet on them to be champions in La Liga again, because there is Barcelona, ​​which also looks very good.

[mammusu]

The 3 goals scored in this match didn't come from regular players, they were players from the second squad of each team, Nico Paz & Pau Victor. IDK much about Nico Paz, but Pau Victor is a potential player, Barcelona were lucky to get him from Girona.

It's Arda Guler that play really good in that match, I see he could be the next Ozil since he can give accurate pass.

Even though both teams played their young players in this match, the match was very interesting for watching, Hansi Flick managed to get his second win in a friendly match and at least this will give Barcelona fans great hope to see their team become better next season, a young squad that played in that match, especially the attack line appeared very impressive and I think players like Victor Pau, Nico Paz and also Alex Valle are very worthy of being included in the main squad next season, Nico Paz and Arda Guller have so far been able to answer every challenge given by Ancelotti and their opportunity to become star players in the future is very wide open, if you continue to see Vitor Pau as a potential player for Barcelona, ​​but I tend to be more interested in the abilities from Alex Valle who played as Barcelona left back in that match, looking at his playing style , his defensive ability and also his courage to help attack makes me think that maybe in the future he will become a tough defender  like Jordi Alba.

[samuraijin]

If you evaluate teams by their players, then Real Madrid looks stronger now, it's hard to argue with that, but the strength of a team is not always determined by that alone. If there is a team in La Liga that can stand up to Real Madrid, it is Barcelona, ​​Atletico often falls short of competing with them. And while Real Madrid is strengthening its team, Barcelona cannot afford it due to financial problems.

I wouldn't want to give the impression that Real Madrid is unbeatable or can't be matched by any of the Spanish clubs at the moment because you just can't say never in football but if you ask me, I don't think the current Barcelona squad has all it takes to match Real Madrid's strength. Winning Real Madrid in a preseason friendly game doesn't mean that Barcelona is now a complete squad because the game wasn't a competitive one so  you don't expect Real Madrid players to be at their best. Considering the current Real Madrid team, the quality and depth of squad, I don't think there's any Spanish club at the moment that can match Real Madrid's strength.

I will not underestimate Barcelona but does Barcelona squad have quality players like Madrid? Of course not. We all know who are the starting players for Madrid when this season has started and we all know who is the current Madrid coach who can always provide satisfactory results in every season. Maybe Barcelona can put up a fight a few times in La Liga matches but only in certain moments such as when Madrid is busy chasing the UCL match and Barcelona takes the opportunity to beat Madrid. But still Ancelotti will not let Barcelona win the La Liga title this season.

Indeed, no one is underestimated, all La Liga clubs, all clubs can make their mark in history, so it's not just Barcelona or Real Madrid but also the smallest caste clubs, this is not about having a mainstay player or not, football consists of a team and no one denies that football is just an individual, if the performance of this team is solid then it is not impossible for Barcelona to beat its rivals easily, there are many great clubs in La Liga and not only Barcelona who are candidates but Girona and ATM can provide surprises this season.

[Fiatless]

Let's see how these two teams can perform after this. Real Madrid will obviously be ahead of Barcelona because they are very strong and they have many talented players in their team. Moreover, if we look closely at this friendly match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, we will see that just like Mbappé, Rodrigo was absent in Real Madrid, Lamine Yamal was absent in Barcelona. The coaches of these two teams may have wanted to test how the youngsters could play for which they fielded mostly young players in the friendly match. After this, when these two teams meet, it may not be a friendly match but a main stage match. Then in that match both the teams will field their full strength squads to face each other. Maybe in that match no one will talk except anyone, everyone will try to give maximum performance to win their team.

People have so much confidence in Real Madrid because they have some of the best players and an experienced coach. Carlo Ancelotti played down on the loss, asserting that they are not playing without eight key players and that the game was just a friendly pre-season match.  I also agree that this is not an important game but sometimes the outcome of these games might be a pointer of how the season will turn out. Great job from Hansi Flick and his young lad. I am bored seeing Real Madrid winning various El Classicos, maybe this season will be different.

I didn't see the game because I'm not very interested in friendly games and games in the "battle of the second teams" format, but the fact that Real lost from the point of view of the omen is very good. Last year, Real also lost to Barcelona in the USA, but the season was absolutely wonderful.
I hope that Real will play with their main squad in the Super Cup and we will see for the first time what this dream team is capable of.

Real Madrid has not won any games this pre-season; maybe that's not a problem. They have a game against Chelsea, before they will play the Super Cup with Atalanta. I am sure there will be an improvement in the squad against the Blues. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be eager to get a win.

[Xcode7]

The last season was successful, but in the previous one they did not win any of these trophies, Barcelona won La Liga, and City became champions of the Champions League, and by the way Real Madrid's squad was approximately the same, so here even luck plays a big role, if City had won the Champions League quarter-final on penalties, it could have ended differently, or in the match with Bayern where there was a clear mistake by the referee...

I do not argue that Real Madrid looks very good now, but anything can happen to a team, a few unsuccessful matches, a few injuries can change everything, so although I consider Real to be the favorite for this season in La Liga, but now I am not ready to bet on them to be champions in La Liga again, because there is Barcelona, ​​which also looks very good.

You just saw a few preseason games last season to conclude that.
I think that's a big mistake, first there was no luck that made Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champion League last season, basically there was an increase in the quality of their young players who were much more mature and ready so that Real Madrid's performance was better.
And secondly Barcelona does not have a squad that is even and quality in every line like Real Madrid so I think what happened in this preseason cannot be used as any reference.
I even predict that Real Madrid will be able to easily defend the La Liga title without any pressure from any team including Barcelona.

Maybe we have different views on this.
But I look at the squads of both teams and I see Real Madrid players are quite scary for next season, so most likely we will see a much stronger performance from them next season.
