La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Ahli38]

I think Gallagher went to one of the best teams he could go to. He will gain great experience in La Liga. Since Atletico Madrid will also play in Europe, if Gallagher plays in the main squad, he can play in very important matches in Europe. I think it would even be good for him to leave the team. As I said, Atletico Madrid is also the best team he could go to.

Conor Gallagher is a productive midfielder, he always have close sight for the best angles on the pitch. He will keep pushing for prosperous contracts because Chelsea have relentlessly denied to increase his salary, one of the major factor holding back the Englishman from extending his contract with the Blues.

However, Atletico Madrid have pick their interest for Conor Gallagher, the Spanish side will persuade him to agreed to their terms and this will explore more options for Gallagher. Chelsea will not be affected because they've in possession of good players, that will be making strong stands in the club.

I'm a little behind on this information. But I'm happy to hear that Conor Gallagher will finally find a new club that can give him time to play in the UCL. And yes we know Atletico Madrid will have a busy season this season. In previous seasons, Conor Gallagher didn't get many opportunities to be with the club he played for. He is always loaned to other teams. And well that's not good at all for his career. But now he will go to Atletico Madrid and I think this will be a good turning point for this young midfielder. Because Atletico Madrid is one of the best clubs in Spain. So there is no reason to refuse to go there. And I really regret that Chelsea didn't really take advantage of this player. Even though this player has real potential, there is no doubt about it. But speaking of Atletico Madrid, I'm curious about Joao Felix's current fate? I did hear about Aston Villa wanting to bring him in but I haven't heard any confirmation regarding this news.

Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid for €40m? Not bad at all. His consistency is lacking. But his raw talent remains. The kid is a natural playmaker, which Atletico needs today. Gallagher may invigorate their midfield, which has been lacking. He has enthusiasm, vision, and drive to succeed. His young, hungry attitude can shake up a team.

The lack of consistency happened because Chelsea could not develop in the last 2 seasons and it was a joint mistake not the fault of individual players because if you look as a whole I actually saw Gallagher's performance on the field was quite good even though it was not as good as Palmer but Gallagher's performance was above average.

Precisely if Chelsea sells to Atletico I think it could be one of the wrong decisions because after all he is a pretty good figure in terms of leadership and style of play on the field, it's just that Chelsea still can't maximize Gallagher's real strength because the chemistry between players is still not well maintained.
40 million is not a high price but I think when Gallagher is at the right club it can make his performance better than when he is at Chelsea today.

The bidding price is regularly stationed heightened, perhaps Chelsea can accept this deal inother to grab good amount of profits. Conor Gallagher have main characteristics of obtaining the top value in the midfield. He will fit in so well in the playing pattern of Diego Simeone in Spain. Gallagher will explore his alternatives because there's more expectations from him when he finally make the exits from Stamford Bridge to Estadio Civitas Metropolitano.

[Antotena]

Yea, the game of soccer has know certain outcome, you have said it all, Real Madrid is a good team but anything is still possible, if Barcelona maintain their preseason performance, they are going to have a good season ahead, although I don't see laliga as a much competitive team but I know that there are some teams that will want to show some skills this coming season we never can tell, the season will soon start and we cant really predict what the seasoj holds for each of the teams, although i know that you are trying to judge with the current team of barcelona but let see what happens next.
With Realmadrid current team, one will easily conclude that the team will be able to lift the trophy again this season but sometimes we can't conclude things that way, Madrid is expected to perform more than any team in the Spanish laliga because of the quality of players in the team and their manager too but lets not always be sure until we see it coming to reality.

I have not seen any changes in Real Madrid if not for Mbape they signed and I want to be frank with you, this changes nothing about the league, his performance before coming to Spain wasn't too impressive and he wasn't under any pressure. It's the same team play he is going to have in Spain that other teams are going to have, Girona also gave us a show we didn't expect and the competition was massive, even Barcelona lose to them in their  home and away match.

For now, I'm not going to make conclusions in this their friendly match, the players used in the match were second squads and junior players that are their reserved players most especially from Real Madrid side and the match didn't look like it was even El classico, empty chairs and no hype. We will see the real one as soon as the season commence.

[Alpha Marine]

I'm a little behind on this information. But I'm happy to hear that Conor Gallagher will finally find a new club that can give him time to play in the UCL. And yes we know Atletico Madrid will have a busy season this season.

I think the deal will work out and Gallagher will play next season in Spain with Atletico Madrid. Atletico have been very busy and making the right choices this summer. Gallagher will be a nice addition for them. He's a player that fits Simeon's profile. He is a hard worker and a box-to-box midfielder. Atletico is the perfect club for him, his talent would be properly utilised there.

Im more interested in Atletico Madrid. I really want them to be a formidable side next season so that La Liga will be more competitive. Madrid have made their signing and look stronger than before. Barcelona have not made any signings yet aside from getting a new Manager. I'm afraid that might not be enough for the upcoming season. They can't go into the season with a team full of academy players. I understand that they need academy players but they also need fresh signings like a RW and a DM.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes they can still cope but the team needs more midfielders to take turns, the turn issu was what gave Gavi Injury, they weren't reseting him  although it wasn't a club injury but I think that has been building gradually before it resort to the last injury.
I don't mean to say this but I don't think Lewandowski is a good choice at the moment though he's still intact when it comes to goal scoring but I don't  see to be active as he used to maybe age... let's just see it early improvement this seasone else they should replace him seriously.. atleast there should be someone better to fit in..

Well so far they have a lot of things they can do, you know I think the same with respect to Lewa, but still it's a blessing to have a player like him in any team, in fact Bayern longs for a player like him, now that Barcelona has a new approach I think they can make a difference, in Preseason it's a stage where I personally don't find it fun, it doesn't seem like one can walk around following reason, it's where one can post randomly the most, that's why I don't bet on it, but it's the time that Barcelona has to correct.

“It was a tough decision” - Marc Guiu explains why he left Barcelona for Chelsea

Less than a year ago Marc Guiu became a Barcelona sensation by scoring a game-winning goal with his first touch as a first team player less than a minute into his debut, and while he didn’t play many minutes last season the youngster remained a fan-favorite and looked set for an important role under new manager Hansi Flick as Robert Lewandowski’s backup.

Then almost out of nowhere came the news that he was leaving to join Chelsea, a move which earned Barça €6 million but left a lot more questions than answers. Soon came reports about a contract dispute, and that Guiu was unhappy with his salary and decided to join Chelsea to get a big raise in his wages.

I have not seen any changes in Real Madrid if not for Mbape they signed and I want to be frank with you, this changes nothing about the league, his performance before coming to Spain wasn't too impressive and he wasn't under any pressure. It's the same team play he is going to have in Spain that other teams are going to have, Girona also gave us a show we didn't expect and the competition was massive, even Barcelona lose to them in their  home and away match.

Everything is not yet clear because Ancelotti prefers to play young players in friendly matches. Mbappe arrival is something that is expected, Real Madrid have been hunting him for the past few seasons and now can get him on a free transfer. Mbappe last season with PSG was not so impressive, but now he is at the best club in the world. His experience and ability can have a positive effect on Real Madrid front line because he is a reliable striker.

Girona managed to make a big surprise last season, now they have lost one of their goal machines who left for Roma, there will be changes in the squad once the season starts. Barcelona is also building its strength to compete again with Real Madrid, as seen now, Barcelona performance is getting better after being handled by Hansi Flick. Atletico are also very active in the transfer market, the moves made by Atletico have succeeded in bringing in top players, Girona will be under great pressure this season because if they are unable to perform well like last season, they will have difficulty competing in the top four.

We will see the real one as soon as the season commence.

Yes, Real Madrid doesn't seem to have any significant differences at the moment. Maybe what you say is true, that Mbappe is the difference between Real Madrid at the moment. But don't forget, currently Real Madrid has lost several valuable players such as Kroos, Joselu and also Nacho Fernandes. So of course the departure of these three players will definitely have a slight impact on Real Madrid (in terms of performance). Apart from that, in this pre-season match Real Madrid did not show any special performance. The reason is, against Barcelona a few days ago, Real Madrid lost. However, as we know, pre-season matches are only matches that are not too serious, so the results obtained in pre-season matches cannot be a definite benchmark regarding performance in the actual competition. So it's true what you say, that before the season or competition actually starts, we definitely won't see the actual performance of Real Madrid or any other team. But even so, being able to win in pre-season matches is also quite important capital to hone the players' self-confidence in facing real competition. Like Barcelona being able to win 2 pre-season matches, this will definitely be very good for the players' self-confidence. So in essence, even though this pre-season match is just an opportunity to try out strategy, find suitable positions for the players, and develop chemistry. But it would be good for a team like Real Madrid if they could win every pre-season game. So Real Madrid must now really be able to win the upcoming pre-season match against Chelsea.

Sevilla played quite well today against Fulham and they managed to get very narrow win with score of 1 - 2, in this match it was actually very possible to end in draw but Sevilla was able to maintain their advantage.
In 4 pre-season matches they were still able to get several wins after their first win over Al Ittihad which is one of the strongest team in the SPL, this win also shows that Sevilla can play to match the performance of fairly tough team.
For the opportunities that Fulham and Sevilla have, they are actually both quite big but Sevilla is still far more superior even with odds above @2.00.

The match between Sevilla vs Fulham was very competitive. Both teams performed very well with Fulham players trying their best to win the match. But after trailing 2-0 in the first half, it was very difficult to make a comeback in the match. Moreover, after leading 2-0, Sevilla played a defensive strategy in the second half. This is Sevilla's old strategy. However, I see a slight improvement in Sevilla's performance. It is expected that this team can perform well in the coming season.

Sevilla lost the first two friendly matches against Sporting CP and Orlando Pirates. However, in the subsequent matches, we saw a steady performance from Sevilla's players. Sevilla won against Ittihad Jeddah. Ittihad party is not weak. Ittihad had talented players like Benzema, Jota and Fabinho in their squad. However, Sevilla won the match 1-0. Sevilla will face Liverpool in the last friendly match. It will be more difficult for Sevilla to perform well against Liverpool.

Tomorrow Real Madrid will play with one of the Premier League clubs, Chelsea, in a friendly match. I wonder what Carlo Ancelotti will do after seeing his team defeated by AC Milan and Barcelona in the previous match. I know this is just an ordinary match but we know Real Madrid is a giant club that has quality players. At least Real Madrid tries to win rather than lose or at least get a draw this is not a bad result.

In this match I did not bet on Real Madrid but I chose a more realistic betting option. I think Real Madrid has not been very productive in scoring goals in friendly matches lately.

[Litzki1990]

Barcelona won the friendly match between Real Madrid and Barcelona by 2-1. At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid did not show much improvement in their game as they lost every match. We saw that Real Madrid lost against Manchester City earlier and Real Madrid lost against Barcelona today. Is it actually the fact that the current squad that Real Madrid is playing is not strong, maybe they are not able to perform well in the match. However, the Barcelona side have shown a lot of change in their game and since they got to win against Real Madrid, they certainly have the potential to do well this season. But I believe Real Madrid will definitely be stronger when they build their great squad, and they will win every match, now Ancelotti might have other plans to field the stars for the friendlies.

Barcelona won the warm-up match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but Real Madrid did not want to take any risks in this warm-up match, that's why the bench XI was fielded against Barcelona. I can see that Barcelona is doing well in the friendly matches and Barcelona should maintain this consistent performance. However, we will not see the same performance from Real Madrid in the main stage matches as we saw against Barcelona, we will see a different Real Madrid. 

Ancelotti will never make wrong decisions, I guess he fielded key players and won this match no matter what, but if one player gets injured and is out for the whole season, it's a big loss for Real Madrid. Even if Real Madrid are defeated, they will return to their place in the main stage.

[SmartCharpa]

With Realmadrid current team, one will easily conclude that the team will be able to lift the trophy again this season but sometimes we can't conclude things that way, Madrid is expected to perform more than any team in the Spanish laliga because of the quality of players in the team and their manager too but lets not always be sure until we see it coming to reality.

I believe that football is unpredictable, we may see a team that performed poorly last season to challenge Real Madrid and other top clubs for the title next season. Girona came out of no place last season and competed with Real Madrid, even making it to the top of the league, we were all surprised because we didn't expect them to perform so well, but they could not withstand Real Madrid's pressure and failed to win the league, however, if Barcelona were Girona competitor last season, I believe nothing would have stopped Girona from winning the league title because Barcelona performance was poor and they lost all of their games against Girona.

Regarding Real Madrid performance, even though football is unpredictable, Madrid is still the favorite team to win the next La Liga trophy, we don't have to judge them based on their pre-season results, Real Madrid still has the top players they had last season, so I don't think anything will change in their performance, they only added Mbappe to strengthen their performance, and I believe they are still capable of winning many trophies next season.

Yeah, I noticed that they're trying to protect their big boys from getting injured, and I think it's a good idea, it's better to risk the bench XI instead of having some of their starters sustain injuries that could affect the early stages of the forth coming season. Well, Barcelona recently signed a new coach and I'm really impressed with their performance in pre-season, it shows that they're getting his tactics clear and this could give them a major boost when the main event starts, the match against their biggest rivals might be a friendly El Classico but come to think of it, there's this ginger that comes with an El Classico game whether friendly or not and winning their biggest rival in the Laliga would boost their confidence of facing them when the main event starts. Well Barcelona shouldn't expect a warm welcome by then cause Real Madrid added a major upgrade upfront and  they'll be facing a Madrid team with numerous World class players. However Ancelotti made the best decision of not featuring his starting XI and win the match just to please some fans, it's just a pre-season game and injury woes is the last thing any big team needs this season, Erik Ten Hag (Manchester United's Manager) can relate.

[HajiBagi]

I agree with you. I think it is impossible for a team like Real Madrid to play their best squad in a pre-season match. As far as I remember Barcelona also managed to win against Real Madrid in the previous season. Even though this was El Classico, this match did not give anything. Both teams also played a lot of their young players. I still favor Real Madrid to be the champion this season. They really have a phenomenal team. I think it will be very difficult to stop the dominance of Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham.

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 see the Barcelona team and the fans are happy after the El Classico friendly match between Real Madrid and Barcelona and I’m wondering, why are they happy? Barcelona is happy like they won the Champions League just because they defeated Real Madrid, but I think the reason why they were happy is that they know that if the league starts they can never win against Real Madrid again , Barcelona is so funny, instead of celebrating winning friendly games they should be busy looking for how to beat Real Madrid or perform better to win a trophy this season.

Barcelona is the only team that I’m thinking they will suffer in La Liga next season because all the big clubs in laliga are ready to fight next season but Barcelona is still waiting for Williams to come and I don’t think Williams will join the team this season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are ready for next season because Atletico Madrid have signed more players and they are now ready to sign Alvarez from Manchester City and if they sign the player Barcelona need to get prepared for next this season because it is not going to be easy for them.

It is natural because Barcelona has shown better performance since being handled by a new coach and they consider that they are ready to host next season, and victory against Real Madrid always presents its own happiness for Barcelona fans because of the rivalry between the two, regardless of whether it is just a friendly match.

I think what Barcelona has shown in the pre-season match shows that the Barcelona team cannot be underestimated next season, regardless of the many problems they are facing, but I think they have good strength and should be taken into account even though if you look at it as a whole Barcelona is not much better than their rival Real Madrid.

For some transfers that are still rumored with Barcelona, ​​I think it is still a big question mark, and with the financial problems that the Barcelona team is currently experiencing, it makes it difficult for them to realize it.

However, I believe that regardless of whether there will be new players coming or not, overall the squad in the current Barcelona team, in my opinion, is also ready to compete with other teams in La Liga next season.

[CryptoBuds]

I know that Barcelona are not as strong as they used to be. But I don't think like you. Barcelona are now in a financial crisis. So the Barcelona management is not able to add any experienced players to the squad. Therefore, it is not correct to say that the Barcelona team is very weak. Barcelona's squad lacks experienced players. However, they have some talented young players in their squad. If Hansi Flick can develop a suitable match strategy for these young players, Barcelona's performance will be stable in the coming season. In the friendly matches we have seen Barcelona players perform well in almost every match. Hansi Flick's match strategy is quite good.

If Nico Williams was at Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's attack would have been stronger. Because the pair of Yamal and Williams are capable of performing well. Also, experienced players like Lewandowski are in Barcelona's squad. But I would say Barcelona should take the necessary steps to strengthen their defence. Last season Barcelona lost several matches only because of bad defense.

[Cryptmuster]

The lack of consistency happened because Chelsea could not develop in the last 2 seasons and it was a joint mistake not the fault of individual players because if you look as a whole I actually saw Gallagher's performance on the field was quite good even though it was not as good as Palmer but Gallagher's performance was above average.

Precisely if Chelsea sells to Atletico I think it could be one of the wrong decisions because after all he is a pretty good figure in terms of leadership and style of play on the field, it's just that Chelsea still can't maximize Gallagher's real strength because the chemistry between players is still not well maintained.
40 million is not a high price but I think when Gallagher is at the right club it can make his performance better than when he is at Chelsea today.

Chelsea has been making a lot of mistakes in recent seasons, and I think the main source of this is the management, who are essentially businessmen, who have a not very competent team to manage, which leads to many mistakes, both in the transfer market and in managing the team and appointing the coaching staff. If they sell Gallagher, I will not be very surprised, because they have done something like this before, they can sell an important player for the team for very little money, but then buy another one for twice as much, who will sit on the bench for half a season...

[Oluwa-btc]

Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid for €40m? Not bad at all. His consistency is lacking. But his raw talent remains. The kid is a natural playmaker, which Atletico needs today. Gallagher may invigorate their midfield, which has been lacking. He has enthusiasm, vision, and drive to succeed. His young, hungry attitude can shake up a team.

Is it risky? Every transfer involves risk. Yet Atletico isnt just throwing money around. Gallagher suits their agenda well. Chelsea is certainly changing under Maresca. Not every player fits every squad, and thats fine. A change of surroundings can help a player flourish. Could this be win-win? Absolutely. Atletico receives a great young midfielder to rejuvenate their midfield, and Gallagher shines on a new stage.

Thats good business done by Chelsea honestly. Not bad likewise. What are you even saying? He has been consistent for Chelsea last season, he is not one of these talented players, no that is not correct. He is obviously one of the hardworking players for Chelsea and in the Premier League Competition last season. He is not even a play maker, Atletico Madrid didn't make moves for him because they're looking for his playmaking skills. Your context about this lad is the complete opposite of the player. Things you say are not what I've seen in this lad.

Atletico Madrid are not splurging money unnecessarily.  Conor Gallagher suits them n because he is hardworking, he knows when to be offensive and at the same time defensively agressive. Young and smart lad if you ask me. Conor Gallagher would fit in well, Chelsea management are just embarrassing. I hate how they treat their home grown players. Chelsea forcefully pushing him away and he did leave.

[Chilwell]

Man City and Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Julian Alvarez worth up to £81m (€95m).

Talks have been progressing well between the clubs over the last 24 hours. Atletico will pay £64m up front (€75m) with a further £17m of potential add-ons (€20m), which will be a record sale for City.

It represents a huge profit on the £14m the Premier League champions paid River Plate for the Argentina forward in January 2022.

Personal terms still have to be agreed, although this is not expected to be a problem.

Alvarez has made 103 appearances for City since arriving at the Etihad Stadium two and a half years ago, scoring 36 goals.

The Argentine international won two Premier League titles, as well as the FA Cup, Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup titles all in 2023.

During his time at City, he also won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, as well as the Copa America earlier this year.
