La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[GxSTxV]

Barcelona has a beautiful La Masia, their school for young talents. It's cute, but it's not helping them at all. Debt. They're just whistling past the graveyard while it's like a time bomb. Kids' ads may save money right now, but they're just a band-aid on a real hurt. Laporta and his group are going to play with fire. Their main goal today is to win, but what about tomorrow? They get closer to the edge every season that this debt hangs over them. I admire the academy because it has turned out legends. But prayers and hope won't help you build a team.  They need to make a plan for their money right away. It's not just about getting prizes; it's also about staying alive. Barcelona is very big, but even big things can fall. They might fall apart if they don't get their house in order

They are already falling apart which is very unfortunate, I don't remember the last time Barcelona won a Champions league, either they start a good season in the first few matches then ruin the rest of it, or the opposite but never recovered totally as the old Barcelona team we use to see. Barcelona fail to create another team or at least close to when Messi was there.
I fail to understand how they couldn't use their great academy for their first team? La masia is one of the best academies to create young talents, so where is the results when it comes to titles?

Barcelona were a bit fortunate compared to other clubs who had the same problems as them, when the team was having financial difficulties, the players from the La Masia academy were simultaneously showing their extraordinary talent. Even though Barcelona are experiencing financial difficulties, they can rely on players from La Masia to fill in the gaps in their main squad. Only Dani Olmo has just been officially launched in this transfer market, it is not yet certain how many more players will be brought in, but if you look at their current financial condition, Barcelona will probably give their young players playing time.

Actually, it is more about Barcelona's dedication to building the team from the past until now through the implementation of the La Masia academy so that Barcelona always finds it easier to deal with the difficulties they experience every season even though the financial difficulties are still not resolved at this time. However, this does not mean that Barcelona has to give up on their own condition because at a time like now Barcelona can still bring in new players to their squad without any obstacles.

It must be admitted that Barcelona has many potential young players and all of them are the result of their academy, which means that Barcelona management has built a fairly successful academy so that it can produce many quality players.
With the financial problems that Barcelona is currently experiencing, it makes it difficult for them to recruit quality players to compete with other best European teams, it is a setback for a team as big as Barcelona.
If it is only to survive at the top of La Lig, I think it is not their place there like last season, but Barcelona must be able to build a team to be able to become champions, that is what Barcelona team management must strive for even though it is difficult because of the financial problems they are experiencing.

La Masia is fantastic. Its the heart and soul of Barcelona, and its been bailing them out during these tough times. HOwever, you cant win La Liga or the Champions League with a bunch of kids. I like what Im seeing from the management. They're getting smart, following the Real Madrid playbook, grabbing those free agents. Thats the way to do it. You need that mix of experience and young blood to really dominate.

Barcelona's not just about surviving anymore. They're gearing up to take back their rightful place at the top. And trust me, they're going to get there, even without splashing the cash on big-name loans.

Young players are good, but you understand that it will take a long time for them to get the necessary experience, and Barcelona needs results now. They are trying to attract new players, they decided not to extend Felix's loan because of this, that is, they are doing something. They can also try to apply Real's strategy and attract players with free agent status to the team, for some teams this is also a working strategy. But Barcelona does not have big problems, they have a balanced team that is ready for the new season.

I do understand that these young players will be good one day, better at least, but will it be enough? I mean when these players get better in the future, we think that they will be going to be as good as Vini Jr or Jude or Mbappe? I do not think so, the one that has the biggest potential is Yamal, and I understand that we are going to see that player to become good, and maybe even that level but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with something that will change too much because there are other positions as well.

I feel like we can make that work so I do not think that we are going to end up with something like that, so that is why it is not going to be ending up anything like that at all, we will see Real Madrid will end up being much better.

They have been going through a tough time financially for a few seasons and that is why they couldn’t keep Messi. He was also a player who came out of La Masia and they have an academy with incredible talent. Now they brought Yamal out of there and he is a top quality player who is giving life to Barcelona. They can be successful in the UCL this year with Flick because they are having a really successful season in the friendly matches. Now it is time to show the same performance when the official matches start.

I agree with you. La Masia is truly magnificent. As we have seen in the past, La Masia has saved Barcelona in times of trouble. La Masia saves Barcelona a lot of money. And if anyone can save Barcelona right now, it's only La Masia. Because Barcelona is now in financial crisis. Barcelona do not have the ability to buy players at high prices. At the same time, Barcelona does not have the ability to pay high wages to players.

Barcelona have received some talented young players from La Masia. Barcelona are going to get a young talented player like Lamine Yamal. Although only 17 years old, Yamal is an excellent player. Yamal is going to be a star player of the future if Hansi Flick takes care of him properly.

That's the greatness of Barcelona. When Barcelona is in a financial crisis, they still have hope with young players from La Masia, and fortunately Barcelona also has a coach like Hansi Flick. With young players, he will be able to handle young players to work together to build a solid force that can compete next season. Indeed, as you said, relying only on young players is very difficult to compete in La Liga with Real Madrid, let alone in the Champions League, I think it's natural that Hansi Flick will fail in his first season. However, in the second season, Barcelona's squad has matured greatly under Hansi Flick's guidance because if you look at his philosophy, he is very suitable for Barcelona in building a squad for the long term.

So I think next season Barcelona's ranking will remain below Real Madrid. Although Hansi Flick's first season will be difficult for Barcelona, ​​​​Flick will be able to work solidly with great players in every position. The only thing that can stop Barcelona from advancing next season is injury. Especially if there are players who are injured at the same time (for example, currently Gavi, Araujo, Pedri, Frenkie, and Yamal are all injured). Because, the Barcelona squad does not have a suitable replacement player.

[X-ray]

Young players are good, but you understand that it will take a long time for them to get the necessary experience, and Barcelona needs results now. They are trying to attract new players, they decided not to extend Felix's loan because of this, that is, they are doing something. They can also try to apply Real's strategy and attract players with free agent status to the team, for some teams this is also a working strategy. But Barcelona does not have big problems, they have a balanced team that is ready for the new season.

What Barcelona are implementing at the moment is very suitable because they also need much better results than last season and at least Barcelona can win La Liga again next season. So implementing a strategy of bringing in new players and also strengthening the young players that are already there will be a very good option for Barcelona. And from what you say it also makes more sense because Barcelona not only need young players but also need players who already have experience so that the depth of their squad can be quite balanced.

Barcelona had some, but it seems Flick wants to develop his young player there. Barcelona's squad is young, but capable. They can fight experienced teams. It's impossible for Barcelona to bring more new players to join in the squad.
The financial issue has been limiting them to explore to get the good composition for the squad. I think the current squad is quite balanced, but they need only to add a new pivot on their wingers.

Statistically speaking, La Masia have produced some of football's greatest players of the last two decades as it's been Barcelona's most helping hand in terms of equipping the club with the best legs over the years but they just can't continue to rely on the products of La Masia to have quality first team squads seasonally and like you rightly said, you can't win the Spanish La Liga or the UEFA Champions League with kids. We understand that Barcelona management is currently going through a difficult period in financing the club but they must do their best to sign quality senior players that can play blend well with the young lads in the team and that they've been doing lately. Barcelona if you ask me is still a  work in progress when it comes to reclaiming dominance in Spanish football and I don't expect them to win the league next season.

Barcelona has a beautiful La Masia, their school for young talents. It's cute, but it's not helping them at all. Debt. They're just whistling past the graveyard while it's like a time bomb. Kids' ads may save money right now, but they're just a band-aid on a real hurt. Laporta and his group are going to play with fire. Their main goal today is to win, but what about tomorrow? They get closer to the edge every season that this debt hangs over them. I admire the academy because it has turned out legends. But prayers and hope won't help you build a team.  They need to make a plan for their money right away. It's not just about getting prizes; it's also about staying alive. Barcelona is very big, but even big things can fall. They might fall apart if they don't get their house in order

They are already falling apart which is very unfortunate, I don't remember the last time Barcelona won a Champions league, either they start a good season in the first few matches then ruin the rest of it, or the opposite but never recovered totally as the old Barcelona team we use to see. Barcelona fail to create another team or at least close to when Messi was there.

Barcelona is a good club, but they haven't had much success in the Champions League since Messi left. However, with a new coach and new players, they can perform well this season and win trophies, even if it's not the Champions League. However, winning the title will be challenging due to a lack of talented players that can perform but since a new coach he can do all is possible best and won trophys for the fans and the club. Every season Barcelona are only club that is challenging Real Madrid most but last Season they didn't get any opportunity in the league and against Real Madrid,  Girona have a change and defeat them home and away. They finish season without a trophy i think that is why they sack xavi in the Barcelona and bring new coach. And I see the coach will help the club very well and win trophys this season for them probably if he will play well against other clubs. Let see if Barcelona can get chance and achieve something this season.

Honestly, it is a fair assessment, and despite the opportunities that Real Madrid have because they have the most ideal squad at this time. Barcelona is Real Madrid eternal rival, and they are the ones who are more relied on to pressure Real Madrid next season. Atletico Madrid and Girona in my opinion can also be considered, both teams have the potential to disrupt the competition in the top four. If we compile a list of favorite teams to win next season, Real Madrid is at the top, then followed by Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Girona and so on, this is just a personal assumption and is very likely different from others. Barcelona limited transfer budget hinders Hansi Flick steps to build an ideal squad like Ancelotti did, this factor is what made Xavi react openly to the public, which ultimately got him kicked out of the manager chair.

[Oluwa-btc]

Barcelona really needs some improvement in the defense line for example. They conceded too many goals in a season. Was it because of lack of concentration you think rather than player quality? I hope so though. They are starting off with a clean slate. Hansi Flick has taken over. A Champions League and World Cup winner manager. It sounds lovely right?    I hope he can create a strong bond with Barcelona players too for success.

But when it comes to winning the La Liga or Champions League in his first year, I would just expect him to take it slow instead.

Every sqaud needs depth in my opinion but, I don't think so right now in the case scenario for Barcelona. If you pay close attention, you'd see that, that was the same squad that won the La Liga Competition two seasons ago. What I think they lack is a proper defensive midfielder honestly. Since Sergio Busquet left, they have not really made no such plans to get a perfect replacement for him. He is a good  manager, don't forget how he humiliated Barcelona (8-2) during his days as Bayern Munich manager



Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto is now a free agent as he has successfully announced he'll be leaving Barcelona with immediate effect. I will never forget his goal against Paris Saint Germans during the Champions League Competition clash against Barcelona.  Godspeed with him ahead.

Yes, I remember this match in 2020. It was a match played at Camp Nou and Barcelona was defeated on their home field. Bayern Munich was playing their best times. Lewandowski was in his prime. These were very difficult times for Barcelona. However, this is not the case today. Barcelona became a better team with quality players coming from the youth academy. I am hopeful for the Champions League this year because they have very good players in the Spanish squad. If they use them correctly, they can make a name for themselves in every cup.

The era of Barcelona's glory in Europe, especially in the Champions League, has passed, even since Messi was still at Barcelona. Meanwhile, if you really want to know when Barcelona won its last Champions League title then you just need to find the reference, it was in the 2014-2015 season when Barcelona beat Juventus 3-1.

I fail to understand how they couldn't use their great academy for their first team? La masia is one of the best academies to create young talents, so where is the results when it comes to titles?

Barcelona's success in the Messi era can no longer be used as a basic reference now. They certainly had some good academy players when they triumphed in the Champions League, but now Barcelona is no longer the same.

Several previous coaches did not rely on academy players, but since Xavi arrived, he has introduced several of them. I think Barcelona just needs time to return to glory in Europe, especially in the Champions League, but I'm sure that will never be easy to achieve without strong financial support.

Hansi Flick have couple of works to execute for Barcelona and one of them is simply making good signings to the club, atleast to stimulates their hunger and desperation for title winning. Barcelona will improve in their performance but it will definitely take time because the appreciated squad have to put together a stellar display for the purpose to elevate the performance of the club in their present days. Barcelona should enact good position on the La Liga table, it will run smoothly for them.

There are up moments and down moments for every club but I think Xavi gave his best for that team and all. If not for that emotional blackmail the club did with him, he would have make sure Barcelona got everything they deserve because I can remember they were pursuing Real Madrid but the luck was more on Real Madrid for losing just a single match for the entire season why Barcelona had the chance to beat Girona but they couldn't do it.

There is a new sherif in town to handle the new team and give then what they need to win trophy this season and we never can tell, I wil be happy if Real Madrid continues to win everything but it's not nice to see one of the best club back then become so trash because of the board management decision, there something unique Flick can do to bring this team together to win something so we can see how lively El classico can be again.

The depth of a team is one very vital need of almost every squad that cannot be overly emphasized as it's got a whole lot to do with their performance and that's why a team with a better depth, most often do stay ahead of a team with a weaker depth. Barcelona do not really have an issue with their depth but an improvement will literally go a long way helping them becoming much better in the new season, you made mention of them needing a defensive midfielder which is a good one but then they aswell need some support at the defense properly, they have gotten a fair attack and striking force but the mid field and defense needs some more attention.

Fiorentina or Atalanta? When I looked at the schedule, I didn't see any matches between Madrid and Fiorentina. They will be preparing to play the UEFA Super Cup final, which will be the closing match. After that, La Liga will start. Their first match in La Liga will be against Mallorca. Did I miss a hidden schedule between Madrid and Fiorentina?

No need to check the schedule because Madrid's opponent for the UEFA Super Cup is Atalanta because Madrid won the Champions League and Atalanta is the champion of the Europa League.
This match will actually be one-sided I think because with the superiority of the squad that Madrid currently has and with Atalanta's waistline due to the absence of Scamacca who this season will be absent for a long time and Koopmeiners is still unclear about his future, of course this will be a very good advantage for Madrid to get the trophy back before the competition starts.

It's also a good thing for Mbappe because apart from his first time playing for Madrid, he's also getting to play in a game he's never played in before as it's the first time he's played in the UEFA Super Cup.
Odds are currently 1.51 for Madrid and 4.50 for Atalanta which is quite reasonable because although Gasperini's performance was quite good last season but with their current condition and the difference in strength that occurs, it is quite natural that this happens.

Real Madrid didn't bought many players this summer but they have Mbappe which this is fantastic transfer because we all know Mbappe is world class player and if he played in this match i am sure Mbappe had ambition want to gets his first trophy this season with Real Madrid but i don't think Atalanta can easily to beated because although from squad quality Real Madrid is better but Atalanta has solid squad

I was wondering how Real Madrid will play without Toni Kroos because since he was retired from football Real Madrid didn't find any replacement of him and my prediction about Real Madrid lineup is probably Ancelotti will playing Brahim Diaz or Modric on Kroos position but i would like to see how effective these players to replace Kroos position on the team

About player condition Atalanta has Mateo Retegui who transfered from Genoa so this player probably will be played on Scamacca position as centre striker and here is the current odds for both teams which you can see the odds for them has been increases but Real Madrid is still the favourite

Real Madrid @1.60
Atalanta @5.20

Finally, Real Madrid got Mbappe and they are happy to have this superstar player since his performance in PSG was promising to many coaches and This player can clearly bring PSG to the next level and this can help PSG to have a much better performance.
Even Calr Ancelotti the coach of Real Madrid is happy to have Mbappe on this team and he started talking about his players and Mbappe and he said the performance of Mbappe in Real Madrid. was very good during the pieces of training while we can also expect to see amazing performance from Real Madrid in the next game they are going to have with Mbappe in this team.

After financial ruin due to poor management a few seasons ago and the loss of Barcelona's golden era with tiki taka, which has always been a scheme that is difficult to break, they must now try from scratch again to make their performance better.

Previously Xavi tried to revive that hope but because the relationship was not very good made this difficult to force and they had to try again with a new coach in the same conditions.

It is difficult but with their big names and there are still some pretty good players currently in the squad at least it is a good strength for Barcelona because after all this is the beginning again for them to improve themselves even though currently Madrid is still above them but still the rivalry must remain they echo in order to make Barcelona not like a club that is almost dead just because of the difficulty of competing for trophies.

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.

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.

The next destination of Nico Williams is not clear yet and we can't make sure if Nico Williams will stay in Bilbao or if he is going to leave. Recently he posted a video supporting his team and people said he was forced to do that and some other people think he will stay in Bilbao until he ends his contract.
The last news about Nico Williams and his situation is about this player being absent in the game they are going to have in Germany against Stuttgart and it seems Ernesto Valverde doesn't want to use this player anymore because of the rumors about him leaving the team.
