La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[bastisisca]

I think both. The opponent is quite weak and Atletico Madrid has a good level of performance improvement. They even immediately fielded Sorloth in this match, and even scored 2 goals in a span of 2 minutes in the 7th and 8th minutes.

Check this statistic:

Although Kitchee had ball possession that was not much different from Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid's effectiveness was much higher, their attacks were very effective.

I must say that the art of holding the ball and dribbling is in the Spanish DNA. I saw the comparisons with Italy and they were totally merciless in this regard, the fact of dribbling well is not perceived as a value. Instead it has a very high value since the passes are precise, since you can pass the ball from one wing to the other without problems or risk of losing it.
We should learn from this and improve like Atletico Madrid does.

Nico William has a huge love for Athletic Bilbao. He has endured a lot of questions about his future. Being protected by the club, being attached to it since childhood, and having a brother playing are some factors that can keep Nico Williams in the Basque country longer. Nico Williams is not ready for the huge pressure of playing for big clubs, ​​and staying at San Mames would be good for his career development. At the same time, perhaps his family and brother Inaki Williams also want him to stay in Bilbao for at least another year. Keeping Nico Williams is seen as a major turning point for Athletic Bilbao and the club's board ahead of the new season.

But you guys are overestimating Nico William. Nico William is just a young football potential, he is not a star yet. Helping the team into the top four is a luxury for him. He is still young, maybe an impressive performance at Euro 2024 will be the motivation for him to break through in his career.

Nico Williams is 22 years old so far and he has been in the Bilbao first team for 4 seasons. Nico Williams had a good season in 2023-2024 where he had 31 appearances registering 5 goals and 11 assists for Bilbao. He is of interest to big teams including Barcelona because of his stunning performance at EURO 2024, but basically Nico Williams is a potentially good player. He is not the type of player who likes to score goals, but he is a good dribbler who likes to provide assists to other attackers. Occasionally Nico Williams also scores goals, but not as often as other strikers who are hungry for goals.

Maybe it's time for Nico Williams to accept a new challenge in his professional career. He is still young and can still improve, but if he wants to stay at Bilbao then that is his decision. I see Nico Williams as a new star in the Spanish squad, and will also be a new star in La Liga next season.

[Velvet78]

With what I am reading from this thread, has Alvarez been completely signed by Atletico Madrid now? If yes, that's a welcomed development. The last time I read about it, it was like a rumour.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1821285558020403520

It seems like there is no problem at all. He hasn't signed for them yet but he is about to.    I still can't believe Manchester City let him go. They didn't look keen on it I mean. But I assume this huge offer must have been enough to convince them while they have Haaland anyway. Let's see whether Simeone will make some changes in his system as of his arrival.

It looks like Griezmann is slowly losing his place in the CF position. If he doesn't play right behind either then he might be a backup player who knows. It depends on whether Simeone continues to play with 2 CFs too.

[BITCOIN4X]

I think Nico Williams has a personal reason why he still chooses to stay in Bilbao. And it seems one of them is because his brother also plays for Bilbao. In addition, as you said, Nico Williams feels he has to contribute to the club that has given him a lot of playing time to become one of the young stars in the world. I think Nico will play one or two more seasons in Bilbao before deciding to move to another club. If he can consistently maintain his performance, there will always be a big team that will want to recruit him every season.

Of course Nico Williams has his reasons for staying at Bilbao, but he should be able to consider good offers from top teams if he wants to win the title. Playing for Barcelona is not a bad choice for him, but Williams actually wants to stay for his own reasons. It's up to him what he decides, maybe it's what's best for him.

Several other teams will of course be monitoring Nico Williams' situation in Bilbao, so there is a possibility that he could go to another team in the next transfer window if he changes his mind. He is still very young and has good potential to become a top star for his position, but of course it will be difficult for him to leave Bilbao who have made his name so far.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Nico Williams is still very young and he has a lot of time to upgrade his career with a bigger club. At the moment he can feel that he owns something from Bilbao and want to contribute something more for the club, like paying back what the club helped him so far. Anyway soon he will no longer feel Bilbao is a good enough club for his career. Playing with his brother in Bilbao is good but in future, their player career must go to different directions depends on their talent, ambition and given opportunities from big clubs.

It's always good to know what motivates a player to stay or leave a club. For me, I think that good things can be generated in big teams. I wanted him to go to Barcelona, ​​although Barcelona already signed Olmo and that's a great signing. For me, Barcelona has a good team. You can't say that they're way inferior to Madrid anymore. With respect to Nico, I think this player still has a long way to go. There's a reason he doesn't want to leave Bilbao. It's good that his decision is to keep him there, because it shows loyalty.

Athletic Bilbao leave €70m Barcelona target out of travelling squad

The Nico Williams and Barcelona transfer saga has dragged on for weeks now without a clear indication of which way it is going to end. Everyone thought that the 22-year-old made his intentions clear when he returned to training with Athletic Bilbao ahead of schedule.

Barcelona then proceeded to wrap up a deal for Dani Olmo and the 26-year-old is currently in the club’s offices to sign his contract until 2030. However, it seems all hope is not lost with Nico Williams.

We covered a story earlier today revealing that Barcelona had not given up hope on signing the 22-year-old but Athletic Bilbao remain calm about the situation. Nico continues to train with the Basque club despite not sorting out his future. Transfermarkt currently values the Spaniard for around €70m.

Barcelona have now been handed their biggest boost yet in their pursuit of Nico. As per SPORT, the 22-year-old has been left out by Ernesto Valverde from the traveling squad to Germany for their final pre-season clash against VFB Stuttgart.

This is a clear indication that things are going on behind the scenes regarding Nico’s future. Valverde doesn’t want to incorporate the player into the squad when his future still remains uncertain.

Nico Williams is not in a rush to leave Bilbao because he is enjoying his career there and that is the club that brought him out to the lime light. He is still a young players and will achieve trophies as time goes on so he is not eager to winning trophies and that is why he is different from other players.

Barcelona should take it easy with the lad and they should allow him to make his moves at the right time. If they value him and want him, then they should be able to wait till when he is ready to move to Barcelona.

I heard maybe because of the pay actually that was from social media but you know there're lots of trash that really comes from social media. The Kid is actually young no doubt he could make some future move without stress although he might miss some good opportunities if care is not taking but nevertheless let him make his choice besides, i saw it directly from Flick's page about the signing of Dani Olmo which is a good backup for the club actually he should also make some good impact as an Alternate to Nico for the club.

Good press.. but i still don't think he will change his mind however, best of luck to the team

[SmartCharpa]

Hiring Nico Williams was a pain for Barcelona and he was not an easy option for Barcelona as they were expecting for it. Bilbao wants to keep this player in the team and PSG also wants to hire to this player and since PSG is a rich team and they got more money they can hire this player before Barcelona or other teams.
Now Barcelona is considering other players like Kingsley Coman and if they can't find Williams they will hire Kingsley Coman instead of this Spanish player.
Kingsley Coman can be easier for Barcelona because Bayern Munich will let Kingsley Coman leave.

I believe Barcelona will withdraw from the Williams race due to financial reasons, Barcelona did not have a lot of money as PSG. If I am not mistaken, no team has signed as many players as PSG and Chelsea this summer, they appear to have more funds than the other team, and if Barcelona refuses to withdraw from the race, PSG may offer twice as much as Barcelona could offer for the player. However, Coman may be the best option, but signing the player on a permanent deal would be too risky for Barcelona because the attacker is always injured. Kingsley Coman had 17 appearances and 3 goals for Bayern Munich last season because he wasn't fit to play throughout the season. Do you think Barcelona should sign the player permanently?

Barcelona has a lot of players who are always injured, so I believe the best thing for Barcelona is to get the player on loan. Since Bayern Munich wants to loan the player out for the next season with the option to sell him, Barcelona can offer him a one-year contract to improve their performance next season if they can't get Williams deal done.

[armanda90]

Nico Williams is not in a rush to leave Bilbao because he is enjoying his career there and that is the club that brought him out to the lime light. He is still a young players and will achieve trophies as time goes on so he is not eager to winning trophies and that is why he is different from other players.

Barcelona should take it easy with the lad and they should allow him to make his moves at the right time. If they value him and want him, then they should be able to wait till when he is ready to move to Barcelona.

Regarding some media, Nico Williams still not hurry up for joining with Barcelona and seems more comfortable keep staying for Athletic Bilbao exactly for one season later. Had impressive performance on Euro 2024 with Spain seems he want get guarantee more minutes playing with Athletic Bilbao than accepting Barcelona's offer although have been success signing Dani Olmo last several days ago. I don't sure how easily for Nico Williams get regular position after arriving Dani Olmo he can play well on left winger side as the same position with Nico Williams.

I think its advantage for Barcelona after spending 60 million for signing Dani Olmo and need waiting for next season if Nico Williams have downtrend perform his market values will decreasing drastically. But have possibility for Nico Williams market values increasing up if get consistent performance for next season with Athletic Bilbao.

[ndutndut]

However, one thing that is certain is that I see the reason why Nico Williams rejected the offer from Barcelona. Apart from because he is comfortable at his current club, he seems to have a stronger reason, namely because he still wants to continue playing at the same club with his brother, Inaki Williams. . Although other reports say that Nico Williams' reason was because of something else. but I feel that the reason is quite reasonable. And of course that is good news for Bilbao who still need this player. And now Barcelona has given up Nico Williams, who they failed to get.

Barcelona is elite club and it doesn't mean they can get their hands on every player. Barcelona have everything to sign the Spaniard, although Nico Williams have his personal reasons why he decline the offers from Barcelona. He's still very young and promising, playing for Athletic Bilbao alongside his brother, Inaki Williams. He's enjoying free time with his current club and will always come out to be the best player.

Honestly, it's a shame that Nico Williams rejected Barcelona's offer just because he still wants to play with his brother. I mean, his brother will still be alive even if he goes to Barcelona, ​​he's not a baby. Everyone is talking about the bond, but Nico Williams should know that he might not get the chance to join Barcelona next season.

Moreover, he is still very young, joining an elite club like Barcelona will make his career better in the future, yes, even though Barcelona is currently financially down, I'm sure it will slowly recover. But whatever it is, I still respect his decision because he chose his brother. So I conclude that there are two things that Nico Williams wants in this life, the first is Money and the second is Brother.

[hahay]

I think both. The opponent is quite weak and Atletico Madrid has a good level of performance improvement. They even immediately fielded Sorloth in this match, and even scored 2 goals in a span of 2 minutes in the 7th and 8th minutes.

Instead it has a very high value since the passes are precise, since you can pass the ball from one wing to the other without problems or risk of losing it.
We should learn from this and improve like Atletico Madrid does.

After all, in shots on target it is also clear that Atletico has a good position to be able to take many shots on target. Thus, the team that Atletico faced really didn't have a good defense and so it was natural that Atletico managed to win with a big score in this match. After all ,their quality is also very different because even though Atletico made a full rotation in the second half, in reality Atletico still won without difficulty. At least, results like this are just to maintain fitness and to keep the team in good spirits to start next season.

There is still one match left for Atletico in this pre-season, and the opponent that Atletico will face next is Juventus. However,from the existing records,  the reality is that Juventus has not been very good in this pre-season and thus,  whether Atletico will still be able to win with a big score or not when they play against Juventus later. It will certainly be interesting to look forward to, because Atletico and Juventus have had different results this pre-season, and if we compare the results in previous matches, at least Atletico will have a chance to beat Juventus.

Now Barcelona is considering other players like Kingsley Coman and if they can't find Williams they will hire Kingsley Coman instead of this Spanish player.
Kingsley Coman can be easier for Barcelona because Bayern Munich will let Kingsley Coman leave.

Actually, Kingsley Coman could be an alternative choice for Barcelona considering his transfer fee and salary are not as big as Nico Williams who is currently difficult for Barcelona to recruit him, but his bad injury record must be considered carefully by the club because Barcelona also does not want that to happen if the club has recruited him, the club will feel disadvantaged because last season Barcelona had experienced this problem, therefore the club must think carefully about bringing in this player, maybe Barca only dares to take the loan option from Bayern Munich if Barca really wants to use his services.

In addition, Chelsea is also interested in this player but it seems that the player is showing more interest in Barcelona considering that Kingsley Coman was once trained by Hansi Flick while at Bayern Munich and it seems that he is more suitable to be trained by this coach than the Bayern Munich club coach in the last few seasons.

Well I really don't think Barcelona signing Kingsley coman is a right choice in my own point of view, because his injury record is very bad and due to the financial status of Barcelona they can't afford to have an injury player in their ranks that would just be there earning a lot without contributing anything to the club, so it actually a deal that I would advice that they should stay off.

Secondly, their is no doubt that Kingsley coman is a very good player if he is fit, but I think that Nico Williams is a better option and he would fits in perfectly well for Barcelona than Kingsley coman, because if you look at his performance in this past concluded euros, you will observed that he already have a chemistry going on with his link up play with the likes of yamal and Dani olmo, so I think that Barcelona signing Nico Williams is way much a better option than signing Kingsley coman.

Nico Williams is definitely a better option for them but Nico Williams is much harder to get for Barcelona. Because Bilbao is trying hard to keep this player and they will even try to extend the contract of their player because considering the performance of Nico Williams for Spain, they know Nico Williams is going to be a much better player when he becomes more experienced time after time and then can sell him for a better price.
Nico Williams was the first option but now Coman is going to be easier because Coman is not linked to other teams and Bayern Munich will let him go easily.

[Furious 7]

Nico William has a huge love for Athletic Bilbao. He has endured a lot of questions about his future.

At the same time, perhaps his family and brother Inaki Williams also want him to stay in Bilbao for at least another year. Keeping Nico Williams is seen as a major turning point for Athletic Bilbao and the club's board ahead of the new season.

There is a better offer in the new contract that Nico Williams has so that makes him stay at Bilbao especially this is also a situation that could have been better because by being at Bilbao at least he does not have to think about competition for the line-up because he certainly already has his own place in the squad.

He is still very young for now so there are still many opportunities to be at a big club later, even though in terms of statistics and strength Bilbao is still below some big clubs in La Liga but that should be an opportunity for Nico Williams to make him more interesting in the performance he does because if his consistency is maintained, sooner or later more big clubs will want his services.

[Dzwaafu11]

Even if they are financially quite capable, I am pretty sure that they are not as capable as the big teams like Real Madrid or Manchester City, or many others. What I am trying to say is that they probably do not have the financial situation to compete against the top-level clubs which actually perform very well in the Champions League competition.

So I think we cannot expect that level of competition and performance from Girona. But I think we can still expect good performance from the La Liga competition. I think that in the La Liga competition, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the biggest teams right now. It is very hard for any club to beat Real Madrid. But the situation in Barcelona is not good as we all know. So it is very much possible to actually beat Barcelona for these clubs. Girona will have to be patient.. Acquiring players who cost a lot of money can also backfire on any club as well.

I don't think Girona will be able to turn up next coming season like last season because last season Real Madrid was not that active in La Liga; they faced the Champions League last season. It was in the middle of the season that they became tough in the La Liga, but this coming season is going to be something different because they are now stronger than before, and again, any other team is fully ready for this competition, including Barcelona.

They will fight and want to be stronger than before, and again, any other team is fully ready for this competition, including Barcelona. They will fight and want to be at the top of the table; although you are right, they are not that much in form, but still, I'm pretty sure Barcelona will be better than last season. I think every team wants to show themselves this coming season.

Since Bayern Munich wants to loan the player out for the next season with the option to sell him, Barcelona can offer him a one-year contract to improve their performance next season if they can't get Williams deal done.

It will be extremely difficult for Barcelona to secure Coman on loan. I believe that if Barcelona does not sign Williams, they will not pursue any other player. Barcelona are searching for full contract not a loan player, however if Barcelona can try and get the player he will make the club stronger and the competition will be more fascinating, because no supporters that will underrate Barcelona because they didn't have superior players anymore. I'm only guessing that Barcelona's eyes are on Williams because they really need him to join the club, while Athletic Bilbao still needs him and will try to confuse him into staying for another season.

Let's see how the transfer window goes before next season. If Barcelona can change their minds, they can get Coman on loan, and if they can get him now, Bayern Munich can probably sell him permanently to Barcelona. However, Barcelona has serious issues these days, and they need to do the necessary before the season starts and get the players that they can buy to the club. If William does not come to the club, they should just try to get another good player then will support the rest.

Girona still have better squad that will lead them to Jen up in next coming season, because even if you look there performance last season is very extremely good and better than Barcelona we all know that the Girona is under the Barcelona in the table, but in terms of performance Gorina Barcelona which I’m expecting them that in next coming season they will turn up well to enable them to be top of the teams that will achieve goals. This coming season will be very different from the previous once due how so many clubs prepare for the competition, shal let us never make early predictions let wait to the season to arrive then we know the next level.

Kingsley Coman can be easier for Barcelona because Bayern Munich will let Kingsley Coman leave.

Amongst all of the teams that made a bid for Nico Williams, Barcelona appeared like the team with the lest chances and PSG appeared like they have got the most because they have got a very strong financial strength amongst all the team bidding for Nico Williams. Barcelona may have to opt for another player other than Williams if the deal isn't working because they have got need.

[TelolettOm]

I think its advantage for Barcelona after spending 60 million for signing Dani Olmo and need waiting for next season if Nico Williams have downtrend perform his market values will decreasing drastically. But have possibility for Nico Williams market values increasing up if get consistent performance for next season with Athletic Bilbao.

Well, at least, Barcelona is not too insistent and forcing themselves to get Nico Williams when their financial condition is still quite bad, so they do not burden themselves with more debt.

And on the other hand, Barcelona has now really got Dani Olmo, this is also a very good strategy for them. Welcome Dani Olmo to Barcelona. finally. 6 year contracts, €60m (£51m).

I think last would have been a remarkable season for Girona if they had maintained their good performance and their position in the league, they started the last season so well and their performance was amazing as they stood very strong defeating any team that comes their way but they failed to maintain the good performance when they played against Real Madrid team and after the defeat against Real Madrid they dropped more points despite finishing among the first 4 teams.

Coming to next season they have got some new players but they almost mad a mistake in letting one of their top goal scorer to leave the team this season, I don't know how the deal ended but they will find it difficult to maintain the performance they had last season if they to wt any of their top players leave the team.

Nico Williams is still very young and he has a lot of time to upgrade his career with a bigger club. At the moment he can feel that he owns something from Bilbao and want to contribute something more for the club, like paying back what the club helped him so far. Anyway soon he will no longer feel Bilbao is a good enough club for his career. Playing with his brother in Bilbao is good but in future, their player career must go to different directions depends on their talent, ambition and given opportunities from big clubs.

Nico Williams journey is still quite long and his decision to stay is very right. He doesn't want to be in the hype phase alone. Nico Williams name emerged after appearing brilliantly at EURO, but previously we didn't talk about him much at all. After his new achievements, everything changed and this is where he will begin his real journey to improve his reputation and quality as a future star player. The same applies to Yamal who also needs to hone his abilities beyond now. The era of young players today will become new icons in the world of football along with several other young players in Europe such as Vini, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Arda, Haaland and Mbappe. All are competing for the highest throne as star players.
