La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Gallar]

I don't think Nico Williams' decision to stay at Bilbao was a smart one. Remember that Nico Williams became a hot name in the summer transfer window because he won the EURO with the Spanish national team. He did not become famous when he was at the Bilbao club.

I think the reason he decided to stay in Bilao is because Barcelona and PSG haven't made any attractive offers to Bilao.

Yes, it's a shame that Nico William failed to move to Barcelona or PSG. But no matter what, Nico's decision must have been very mature. Maybe the reason Barcelona or PSG's offer did not match his wishes could be one of the factors in Nico's failure to move. However, I heard news that Nico stated that he was very comfortable in Bilbao and he was sure that if he continued to stay in Bilbao he would be able to develop even better. Apart from that, according to news circulating, Nico also has an older brother who plays for Bilbao, this player is Inaki William. Maybe it was because of this factor that Nico decided to stay in Bilbao. Apart from that, at Bilbao, Nico currently earns a fairly high salary, so Nico certainly won't be in too much of a rush to move clubs. Apart from that, Nico is currently still very young so his career will definitely still be very long. So staying a year or three in Bilbao is definitely not a bad thing for Nico. Because if you think more deeply, if for example Nico moved to Barcelona, ​​I would doubt Barcelona a little, because as we know, Barcelona's financial condition is currently not good. So if you look at all these factors, it makes sense that Nico chose to stay at Bilbao.

Yesterday i just post about this before and the news has been appears today that finally Atletico Madrid has officially gets Julian Alvarez from Manchester City i think they had just make dare moved with gets Julian Alvares with 95 million as transfer fees which this is can be called as saga transfer for them because i have to says Atletico Madrid is rarely to done this buying the player with the expensive price so this is not their habit actually

Julian Alvarez has agree to signing 5 years contract with Atletico Madrid which mean he will be at this team until 2029 and for Manchester City this is very huge profit from them because they can sell Julian Alvarez with 95 million because previously they only buy this player 14 million

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1820881297532973378

This is a very bold move by Atletico Madrid, I think it is too expensive.
Indeed, Julian Alvarez is basically a fairly qualified player with all his experience and achievements at this time, making this player likely to develop more rapidly, especially since he is still quite young, but what is surprising is that the Atletico Madrid team, which has never made a big transfer before, is now doing it for Julian Alvarez.

With a high transfer fee, Julian Alvarez should be able to contribute greatly to the front line of the Atletico Madrid team, let's just wait and see next season.
It seems that Atletico Madrid is quite serious about building a team for next season so that they can compete for the La Liga title.

In my mind, I always believed Julian Alvarez is worth 90m or more; even before they quoted that price tag.  That’s how much I rate him. He has won a lot at only 24. He’s a good player and has to hunger to make his mark.

I see Sergio Kun Aguero in Alvarez… I believe he is as clinical as Aguero and what he currently lacks is a bit of aggression. Once that is added to his game, he will be a beast of a striker.

And to think Atlético Madrid has a history of solid strikers—Kun Aguero, Fernando Torres, Diego Forlan, Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao (at his peak), David Villa. I also see Alvarez towing the path of these great strikers at Athletico Madrid.

Finally and after days of seeing rumors about Nico Williams and other teams like Barcelona and PSG it seems this player is going to stay in Bilao for a longer time. Maybe it was a smart decision for this player because Nico Williams is still young and in Bilao he can have more chances to get improve and play in this player than other teams like Barcelona. While playing for Barcelona nad moving to this team could be a big risk for the player.
He sent a message to fans of Bilbao and said he is ready to start next season in this team.
  

Nico Williams is a well-respected person and he knows what he’s doing, I like the decision he take and decide to stay at Bilbao, did we know that Nico Williams is the best player in Bilbao? He is the team player who helps the team when they need him and Bilbao is the team that made him become who he is today, so deciding to leave the team will be difficult for him and it will look like he is ungrateful to Bilbao if Nico Williams leaves Bilbao the team is going to suffer because they will never get anyone like him and the team sees him as their best player that can lead them to win many trophies, the player and his brother are the one who is always helping Bilbao and he leaving his brother will be something difficult.

I see many Barcelona fans are saying Nico Williams is not a good person because he refuse to sign for the team despite the effort and the love of Barcelona, I want to ask some Barcelona fans, when did Barcelona start having interest in signing Nico Williams? In case they don’t know Barcelona fans started having an interest in Nico when they saw his performance in Euros when he was playing with Yamal, Barcelona was never interested in signing Nico before so seeing his performance in Euros is what made Barcelona want to sign him and they are expecting him to leave a team that builds him to become a good player.

For the question of playing time, it is true because by staying he will get more time to play as a core player than moving to Barcelona or to another big club.
But if we talk about the opportunity to play in a big club, it can give him the opportunity to develop faster because he is motivated to play consistently at all times to become a core player. Usually when there are challenges and pressure it will give great motivation to every player.
If in the end Nico Williams stays endure, maybe he has considered many things so that is the decision he chooses.

Next season he can decide again which club to go to and most importantly he can maintain the consistency of his best playing form so that he will remain one of the players targeted by many clubs.

I don't think Nico Williams' decision to stay at Bilbao was a smart one. Remember that Nico Williams became a hot name in the summer transfer window because he won the EURO with the Spanish national team. He did not become famous when he was at the Bilbao club.

I think the reason he decided to stay in Bilao is because Barcelona and PSG haven't made any attractive offers to Bilao. Surely Nico Williams would love to go to Barcelona to reunite with teammate Lamine Yamal, but Barcelona is having financial difficulties, so they are considering recruiting him very carefully. As for PSG, they need a real star to replace Kylian Mbappé, Nico Williams is not capable enough to replace Mbappé. These two clubs should wait until Nico Williams' contract expires to recruit him at a cheap price. For Nico Williams, he should continue to prove his talent, so that big teams do not hesitate to buy him at a high price.

Nico William has taken a big decision at this time by choosing to stay at Bilbao rather than move to another team, what Nico William is doing is a decision that we might consider a stupid decision, but in my opinion he has definitely considered this carefully  at the moment, Barcelona has previously activated the release clause that Nico William has in Bilbao but he refused to join Barcelona, ​​as well as PSG who reportedly have made an offer to Bilbao and he also refused to join,  if Nico joins With Barcelona, ​​wouldn't the situation be the same as if he stayed in Bilbao because currently Barcelona is no longer able to promise trophies and they are also no better than Bilbao at the moment, joining PSG will probably get him a big salary and a Ligue 1 trophy and not trophy UCL, but won't the trophy Champions League is the dream of all young players today?
In my opinion, Nico Williams is just delaying his move at the moment because he seems to be waiting for another, better team to sign him in winter transfer?

Currently Nico Williams has returned to the Bilbao athletic training center.

There is no comparison between Barcelona and Bilbao. If Nico Williams has decided to stay there it's probably because he wants to repay them for trusting him in the first place by hiring him to play for them, it does happen like that sometimes with players showing their loyalty to a particular club. But that doesn't mean that Bilbao and Barcelona are equal in any perspective. Barcelona has a higher chances of winning more than 5 trophies before Bilbao will ever dream of winning one. Barcelona is a big club with great history and culture. Yes they are still struggling financially but they are still the team that can challenge real Madrid for trophies in Laliga. It is very wrong to categorize Barcelona and Bilbao together.

[Ahli38]

I would not be surprised by Real Madrid's victory because this time even though it was not a serious match but Ancelotti played the main players in the attack line and the defense even though Mbappe had not appeared in the pre-season match but Ancelotti just wanted to maintain the fitness of the player.
The result of 2-1 victory is reasonable because Vinicius Jr, Brahim Diaz, and Rodrygo are very feared players.
In fact, I will praise Chelsea who are ready to face a big challenge against Chelsea who could lose by a narrow score and almost be able to hold a draw.
In the UEFA Super Cup match later, I will not hesitate to bet on Real Madrid even though Atalanta is also very strong as the holder of the European League title last season but I am sure Mbappe will appear in the match.

When Ancelotti played their main players at the start of the match, I thought it was a sign that Real Madrid would indeed be ready to win the match. And yeah it happened. And it is not surprising or strange to see these results. But I also appreciate Chelsea, I think they also played quite well. In fact, I was surprised by their playing pattern which was actually quite disciplined this time. It seems that Enzo is indeed the coach you can hope for at Chelsea. Because in this pre-season match I started to see Chelsea playing better. But at their level it will still be difficult to beat Real Madrid and yes, losing to Real Madrid in pre-season is not a shame. Because after all, this is only a test match for these clubs. And in the UEFA Super Cup match I also prefer to bet on Real Madrid. Because I think the difference in quality between Atalanta and Real Madrid is quite clear.

Pre season match result Real Madrid 2 vs 1 Chelsea

Real Madrid have good result at second pre season match after defeating Chelsea over 2:1 and become good capital for facing Atalanta on UEFA Super Cup final one week later. In this pre season match, Madrid is still not strengthened by Mbappe and Jude Bellingham but Carlo Ancelotti giving the midfielder position for young player Mario Martín played until 90 minutes.
Facing Chelsea become the last pre season match of Real Madrid before facing Atalanta and four days later will face Real Mallorca on the first La Liga match.

Left two week before La Liga match begin and Madrid have been over with their transfer activities, seems Carlo Ancelotti have been fully trust with his current player and more confidence after success signing Kylian Mbappe although have some position leave at defender and midfielder after leaving by Nacho and Toni Kroos.

in the friendly match against Milan and Barcelona Real Madrid had to swallow the bitter pill but in today's match of course Real Madrid against Chelsea Real Madrid performed better because they were able to beat Chelsea with a score of 2-1 and in that match I also saw that Real Madrid was really good and Chelsea's defenders seemed to have difficulty blocking Real Madrid's attacks and of course Real Madrid created a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately not all opportunities could be exploited by Real Madrid and of course if all opportunities could be utilized well by Real Madrid, of course Real Madrid would score more. goal.

I agree with your opinion, yes, it is true that winning the friendly match against Chelsea will certainly make Real Madrid appear confident against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final and of course we will not know whether Mbappe will be used against Atalanta or not, but honestly I hope Ancelotti can play Mbappe because I think this is a serious match and I also think Atalanta is a strong team and of course we have seen Atalanta's performance against Leverkusen in the European league final and of course Atalanta managed to win the European League.

Indeed, so far Mbappe has not been used by Ancelotti and according to my predictions, Mbappe will definitely be used when Real Madrid plays against a strong team. Oh yes, the Laliga match will of course be held soon and of course Mallorca will be Real Madrid's first opponent. Yes, we'll see how the match goes, but yes, Real Madrid are now ready for Laliga, UCL and other matches.

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid has done a top work by signing a striker like Julian Alvarez.    However is it the place I would like to see him the most? Not at all...

Because Simeone has a really boring set of tactics. He is a successful manager, I know that. But the game plan is just so old and boring. I would actually like to see Alvarez playing for a team playing in the opposite way. Like Arsenal for example.    They were also interested actually. What happened? Didn't they want to pay that much? I believe he would have been a great fit there. Anyways, now I wonder whether he will play side by side with Griezmann in the same formation.

EXCL: Dani Olmo to Barça, here we go! Verbal agreement in place after key mission in Leipzig for Barça director Deco.

€55m guaranteed package plus €7m in add-ons, main part difficult to reach.

Olmo agreed on six year deal valid until June 2030 and he wanted Barça move.

Source: Fabrizio Romano

It turns out to be true as I said before that this deal will really happen in the near future, not just a rumor because Barcelona also really wants this player to be included in Hansi Flick's scheme, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams who have been the most talked about in recent weeks but it is indeed a bit complicated especially Nico Williams who is being fought over by several top clubs.
Although a bit financially constrained at least Barcelona has secured this player and we are just waiting for the next transfer regarding Nico Williams but the club owner (Bilbao) actually doesn't want to let go of his important player.

Only Dani Olmo and Nico Williams are targeted by Barcelona in this transfer market and indeed these two players are quite needed by the Barcelona team to improve their performance next season.

I think Barcelona's success in bringing in Olmo deserves appreciation because previously many parties doubted because of the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona.
And then Nico Williams is their target and I seem to be quite optimistic now that Barcelona will be able to get him because so far we have seen how Barcelona's management always realizes its targets even though they are experiencing many problems.

Successfully bringing in Dani Olmo was a big surprise made by Barcelona in this transfer market, initially the club was doubted about its ability to bring in new players because its financial condition was not good. Dani Olmo is a player that Barcelona really needs to complete their squad, now Hansi Flick has many options to strategize in his squad. Barcelona, ​​which always uses a 4-3-3 formation, could change to 4-3-2-1 under Hansi Flick. He once used this formation in the pre-season game and the results were very satisfying.

Nico William will continue to defend Bilbao this season because he wants to stay there, Barcelona previously withdrew from the hunt for Nico William because of the complicated process. PSG were also interested in the player after his impressive performance for Spain at the Euros, but he did not take the opportunity to play in the Champions League because he chose to stay with Bilbao.

[RaltcoinsB]

I think Atletico Madrid has transferred a very important player. In my opinion, Alvarez is a player who does not deserve to be a substitute. He has great quality and has shown this in the short time he has played at Manchester City. I think he will score a lot of goals with Atletico Madrid in La Liga. He has shown solid performance in the Premier League and he can do the same in La Liga. I think Atletico Madrid has made the best transfer of recent years for themselves.

Is good to see Atletico Madrid pretty active this transfer window, getting Alavarez might just be their best signing and possibly followed by Conor Gallagher who I think may do well in La Liga since he is energetic.

I can't remember the last prolific striker Atletico Madrid really had since though Morata do score quite a number of goal there still some good chances where he still misses which is important for them to get a win or draw, if Alvarez can definitely deliver here at least as he did with Man City, I think Atletico Madrid might get back to becoming La Liga title contenders

Am not see to Atletico Madrid been active in the transfer window, last season was not pretty good even though they secure fourth place in the table that alone is not enough because the are far from even the top three the point gap is huge, and those top teams also engaged in the transfer window to get themselves together, Real Madrid, Barcelona are really prepared to compete this season, I don't know of Girona to stand a chance against Atletico Madrid. Actually Morata his really missed that why they really have to get a good replacement that can be given them the win the want which they deserve.

Atletico Madrid finished the league in fourth place last year, 5 points behind Girona with an extra performance, but we will see if we will see similar success from Girona this year. They got Sorloth, who I really liked, as a striker. Now there are also Alvarez rumors, and it is said that a fee of around £70 million will be paid to City. Madrid, who pays such a high amount of money, probably cannot make any other transfers this season. They will also have to spend very carefully due to FFP rules. In my opinion, Alvarez would be very successful in the current squad, but I also think that Atletico Madrid currently has very high-quality strikers. I do not know if Alvarez is needed.

Girona is a small club and success in the past season is very hard for them to repeat. They already lost their best player like Dovbyk to Roma and Garcia to Leverkusen. [1] They reused the transfer money to buy some other players but at cheaper costs and it's not easy for same squad to repeat that success, not mention in a new season they will have to play with many new players.

Girona have very small chance to finish this season in top four again and they can enjoy Champions League air that is a scarce opportunity for a small club like Girona.

Of course I agree with you. The important thing for Girona is to enjoy the UCL. If they show a similar performance in La Liga this year as last year, then we can talk about them as one of the big teams in Spain. Losing Artem Dovbyk will make them lose blood. I hope they will be successful this year too, but to tell you the truth I don’t think they will be very successful.

Yesterday i just post about this before and the news has been appears today that finally Atletico Madrid has officially gets Julian Alvarez from Manchester City i think they had just make dare moved with gets Julian Alvares with 95 million as transfer fees which this is can be called as saga transfer for them because i have to says Atletico Madrid is rarely to done this buying the player with the expensive price so this is not their habit actually

Julian Alvarez has agree to signing 5 years contract with Atletico Madrid which mean he will be at this team until 2029 and for Manchester City this is very huge profit from them because they can sell Julian Alvarez with 95 million because previously they only buy this player 14 million

Last I remember, Atletico Madrid paid a lot of money for Joao Felix. They didn't get much out of him, I hope they can get some out of Julian Alvarez. Julian Alvarez is a very quality player. He tried to score goals at every opportunity at Manchester City, but he didn't get enough playing time because his opponent was Haaland, the best in the world. I hope he can have a successful season at Atletico.

Atletico Madrid needs to improve its attack line and this is a good move since last time I checked I saw more talking about the defence line and midfield rather than the attack line.
The objective of Atletico Madrid is to stay in the top of La Liga, they know very well that Real Madrid is very powerful and Barcelona could not be underestimated so fighting for the third spot is the primary objective for them.

[rendravolt]

I thought for a moment, is it possible that Real Madrid will lose again today? But before that happens, it seems that Los Blancos do not want to continue to accept defeat in the pre-season match. They finally tasted victory when they played against Chelsea in the last match with a narrow score of 2-1. This time, Real Madrid was quite serious, playing Vini and Rodrygo from the start of the match and with Brahim as the axis of attack, Real Madrid's ball flow became smoother.

We can see the process of the second goal where Vini's trivela pass was greeted by Brahim who sprinted to deceive the goalkeeper and managed to score a goal. It was a good goal and reminded me of Bellingham's goal who also received a trivela assist from Vini at that time. This victory can trigger the players' confidence to be even greater, especially since they will soon face Atalanta in the super cup final. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if all the main players were on the field and the effect of Vini and Rodrygo's presence alone had made a significant change in the match.

 Atletico Madrid are making intentional signings in preparation for the new season and from how it's going, they will be a big threat to teams like Real Madrid and the rest, it would not be business as usual and how things are going I think this season is going to be all about them because the current champions are the target. Now they have Alvarez who moved from Man City just because of lack of playing time to join Atletico Madrid, that's another sign that they're not joking this coming season, for the team to be more stronger and effective I'd like them to give Felix a better chance to show all he has to offer, more playing time or maybe make him the key man in the squad because to me Felix is more creative than most of the midfielders in the ATM side combined but the combination of Felix and Griezmann is the best for the Atletico Madrid team, let them work on keeping both players to achieve something great this season, it shouldn't be only Madrid who gets the glory in the Spanish league.

The purchase made by ATM at this time by bringing in Julian Alvarez from Manchester City is a good purchase, which if we look at the performance shown by Alvarez on the field is very good, with his young age ATM can take advantage of his performance in the long term, and that is a good investment, ATM from several seasons have indeed shown good performance in La Liga and the Champions League, it's just that luck has not been on their side,

to become champions in La Liga ATM must destroy Real Madrid's glory, but that will be difficult considering Real Madrid is filled with good players and on the other hand there is Mbappe who is ready to be a star in La Liga for now, and if we look at other clubs like Barcelona, ​​​​Barcelona with its young players showing positive performance in pre-season, the competition in La Liga will be even more exciting

La Liga will start soon so I think ATM has a chance to become champions

You make a valid point. The essence of bringing in Mbappe is to strengthen their attack and knowing how goal driven he is, the Frenchman will want to do everything to show the fans that he's got the stuff that made him great at PSG and as well will try to make it possible that with the help of his teammates they remain top of their league. In all it's safe to say this new season will be hot, with competition here and there but I have the belief that Diego Simeone will want a change to the status quo since it had been quite a while(11 years) to be precise when they last lifted the league title.
