La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[hyudien]

This weekend the league starts, I'm quite curious about how Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are going. They have a good transfer. They should be able to dominate the league well. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez. Reportedly he went to Atletico Madrid for 81.5 million pounds. Alvarez is quite right to go to Atletico because he doesn't always get the main place with Man City. Alvarez had to play from the bench because he lost to Haaland. At the age of 24, he should be able to become Simeone's mainstay.

The three clubs you mentioned above have always being in dominant of the league from season to season apart from last season that Girona came from nowhere to take over the third place from Atletico. Both three teams made good signing and it shows that none of them wants to be left out in the title race.

I don't think we will see much from Girona compared to last season because they have sold their hit man Dovbyk and I don't know how the coach intend going far without him. It is Goin to be an interesting season with surprises as usual.

Beyond predictions Girona is among the big teams and they can even finish in a better ranking than Atletico Madrid, that is something that rarely happens in La Liga. It's quite nice to see a different situation like that and I want to see the same thing happen this season with a tighter level of competition. But I also have the same thoughts as you after Girona sold the striker who was the top scorer last season. It was a loss for them, even though they got the benefit from the sale. Usually the teams that were surprising in the previous season will decline in the next season, for some reason I often see this in La Liga. And the worst thing is felt by Sevilla, in the previous season they were able to provide very tight competition, but in the following season they played badly and they were even threatened with relegation.

I can say that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been successful in this transfer market. Real Madrid became the most successful club because they managed to get one of the best strikers in the world today, Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

It is no wonder that the 3 main teams in the La Liga competition always present interesting matches to watch when facing each other. Although there are often surprises, there are other clubs that show differences, but in my opinion these 3 teams are always consistent in every season. Moreover, with the arrival of new players whose performance at their previous clubs was quite satisfactory, in La Liga this season the competition will be even tighter, Real Madrid with its star players, ATM which is now strengthened by Julian Alvarez and Sorloth, and Barcelona which relies on talented young players. This has proven that La Liga is a competition that is able to show excitement in matches.

in this case I want to see the difference that Simeone will show in La Liga this season, whether he is able to bring ATM to become champions, seeing his loyalty to Atletico Madrid for 13 years I should be proud

Girona sold not only the striker, they sold their captain Aleix Garcia to Bayer, Savio was undoubtedly one of the leaders of the team, and he went to City, Dovbyk went to Roma, such changes should affect the team, and perhaps not in the best way. But Girona still have Michel, he is a very talented coach, and he will try to play with those who remained in the team and those who came, they took Romeu from Barcelona on loan, Gil from Tottenham, and bought defender Frances from Zaragoza. Yes, these are not famous players, but before the start of this season no one expected that Girona would be able to achieve such a good result.

I can say that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been successful in this transfer market. Real Madrid became the most successful club because they managed to get one of the best strikers in the world today, Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

Real Madrid is the luckiest and smartest in exploiting the transfer market and I like how this team is so patient to get the players they have wanted for a long time. We know that Real Madrid got Mbappe on a free transfer. And that was actually the moment when young European star players could be obtained on a free transfer. But Real Madrid went through everything with such a long process.  And I feel that Real Madrid is the club that always moves most effectively in the transfer market. Meanwhile, regarding Atletico Madrid, this team did not seem very active at the start of the transfer market. But it turns out they became aggressive in the last month of the transfer market. And yeah they brought in Alvarez for a very high price from Manchester city and yeah it was worth the price. Meanwhile, regarding Barcelona, ​​even though they are in a bad financial condition, they are quite surprising by still bringing in the players they want even at quite high prices. And Barcelona has indeed succeeded in bringing in Dani Olmo. And the latest news is that Barcelona has not given up on Nico Williams even though there was news circulating that Nico Williams had rejected an offer from Barcelona. But talking about Nico Williams, I still remember that at the beginning of August I read that the reason for Nico's doubts about Barcelona was that he doubted that Barcelona would be able to register him in the squad to play in Laliga. (Sourch)  And it seems that this doubt is indeed a quite reasonable reason after now hearing that Dani Olmo is also quite doubtful whether he will be registered or not.

[legendbtc]

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.
 

I see Nico Williams intending to go to Barcelona as he will not sign any further contract with the current Athletic Bilbao team when the summer transfer market 2024 comes around. Nico Williams' move to Barcelona is like a soap opera, with the press trumpeting that the EURO star will come to Camp Nou, then saying it's impossible. With just a few weeks left until the transfer window closes.

The problem for Barcelona now is to solve the financial problem. The Catalan club does not have much money to cover the transfer costs. Despite financial difficulties, Barcelona still shows a passion for shopping. They have only just welcomed another EURO 2024 winner, Dani Olmo, back to the Nou Camp from Leipzig. Therefore, Barcelona fans still have the opportunity to hope Nico Williams will move to the Camp Nou.

The three teams are teams that are very often in the top four of La Liga so it is natural that the three have got the players they have been looking for all this time. However, for their own level of success, I will not judge it now because the three players will also adapt to the team and I will judge whether they are successful or not when the team that houses them gets better results this season. Because the three have different characters, the results that will be obtained by the three teams will certainly be very different later.

I tell you something, it's true. Mbappe left PSG as a free agent. But, it's wrong to say he signed with Madrid as a free agent. Madrid paid him a lot and it goes to Mbappe's pocket. Also, we have not yet seen how Mbappe will perform on his debut with Real Madrid.
And again, Madrid is the most successful club in football, even without Mbappe. It's Mbappe who is lucky enough to be recruited by Madrid.

Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

Alvarz was a wanted transfer by all of ATM fans, but it saddens me that things are not going well for Olmo. After they recruited Olmo from Leipzig, negativity came to Barcelona. This was because Culers wanted Nico instead of him.

It's quite nice to see a different situation like that and I want to see the same thing happen this season with a tighter level of competition.

And the worst thing is felt by Sevilla, in the previous season they were able to provide very tight competition, but in the following season they played badly and they were even threatened with relegation.

This season, Girona has performed quite well in LaLiga, because being able to finish in 3rd place in its second season in LaLiga can be said to be extraordinary. However, we don't yet know what Girona's performance will be like next season. If you look at the last 2 seasons, Girona always displays better performance in the new season they are in. The reason is that in the first season Girona played in Laliga, the results were able to finish in 10th place. Then this season Girona was able to finish in 3rd place in Laliga. So if you look at it, it is clear that Girona always has very good prospects every season. However, as we know, currently Dobvyk, Girona's mainstay striker, has been sold. Meanwhile, in this transfer market, Girona has not been seen buying a promising forward like Dovbyk, as far as I know, currently Girona has only brought in Abel Ruiz. I don't know for sure how this player will perform, so at this time I can't make a more specific prediction regarding Girona's performance next season. However, in my estimation, Girona will most likely be able to stay in the middle of the La Liga standings next season.

It's going to be a fierce contest between the kings of la Liga this season considering the various transactions that took place in the transfer market so far with Dani olmo moving to Barcelona, kylian Mbappe to real Madrid, Julian Alvarez to Athletico Madrid, and so on, I think this season the league will take a new turn in terms of title race and who might clinch the champions league spot, the Europa and conference spot respectively because all the teams are gearing up for the upcoming campaign with these other club seeking to reduce Madrid and Barcelona's dominance in the league, Athletico Madrid seem like the side that may pose a very big threat to Barca and real Madrid this season.

Yes, these are not famous players, but before the start of this season no one expected that Girona would be able to achieve such a good result.

However, because basically Girona is still part of the City Football Group which of course has good finances too, but strangely, Girona actually sold their key players as you mentioned. Because after all, if they have good finances then of course they will be able to retain their key players because after all, Girona still has to be able to maintain good quality and performance next season because Girona also has a playing schedule in the Champions League.

At least that is also a question for me personally because after all, when a mediocre team has potential players it is natural for them to sell them because perhaps their demands for a salary increase cannot be met. But regarding Girona being part of the City Football Group, Girona should retain the great players they have so that they no longer start building a team from scratch with new players who have no guarantee of a good contribution to the team.

I don't know what kind of agreement there was between Mbappe and Real Madrid beforehand. But the beneficiary of this deal is of course Real Madrid. They didn't pay any transfer fee to PSG. No matter how much Real Madrid rewards Mbappe, the price they paid to get Mbappe is still too cheap.

I know Madrid is the most successful club in football, but without Mbappe, it would be difficult for them to win consecutive titles. "You shouldn't say that Mbappe is the lucky one" I see it as a win-win situation, you should remember that Real Madrid is just as desperate for Mbappe as any other team. And Mbappe is also hungry for titles, only Madrid will give him a sense of security.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico - they have clearly done some actions this season, the typical suspects.

Atletico spending a fortune on Alvarez? That's a daring, maybe even a desperate action. We'll see whether he can rise to it. And let's not overlook teams like Girona and Bilbao, even as everyone is fixated on the top three. They might do it once more; they have caused upheavals before.

Now, Real Madrid is still the team to challenge. We possess the talent, the knowledge, the winning attitude. Still, this season might be a little more fascinating than most people believe.

So get ready, everyone. La Liga is going to erupt in frenzy. Furthermore keep in mind that there is only one real champion at the end. Halla Madrid!

95 million for the player who always be playing at the bench of Manchester City i have to says this is overpriced but Simeone believe Julian Alvarez will be success in Atletico Madrid and currently this team has 2 striker who potentially can scores a lot of goals such as Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth and i would like to see the competition between them to gets one place on Atletico Madrid starting lineup and who can score the most goals in this team

If from the squad condition Atletico Madrid transfer behaviour actually according to the team needed because after lost Depay and Morata they bought Alvarez and Sørloth but i more interested to see Alvarez performance this season with Atletico Madrid because currently he is the second expensive player who bought by Simeone and so far the most expensive transfer still belongs to Joao Felix but this is failed transfer because Joao Felix performance is not as expected

Atletico often lags behind Real and Barcelona, ​​but in some seasons they even have a chance to become champions. This off-season, Semione has worked very well, they got Sørloth and Alvarez, in my opinion this should stimulate their attack very well, and Felix has returned to them, who scores in almost every friendly match, maybe this is what will make Semione give him another chance to play in Atletico. For some reason, it turned out that he plays more often on loan to other teams than in Atletico, but in my opinion he is a very good forward.

The agreement is about Real Madrid paying signing fees for Mbappe. It refers to the picture below.

They didn't pay to PSG, but they pay to Mbappe. I think you're very wrong about Madrid's chance to win the title. Mbappe ain't nothing without Madrid. Did Madrid have mbappe last season when they won UCL trophy?

Look at how Madrid won UCL again, and PSG was trophyless last season even when they had Mbappe on their side. We're talking about the fact. It's delusional to think Madrid could win consecutive titles without Mbappe. 

[TelolettOm]

I see Nico Williams intending to go to Barcelona as he will not sign any further contract with the current Athletic Bilbao team when the summer transfer market 2024 comes around.

The reason is because Barcelona is still facing economic issues and they have no enough money to spend all in Nico Williams this summer.
About the next summer?
Let's see next season.

I don't know what kind of agreement there was between Mbappe and Real Madrid beforehand. But the beneficiary of this deal is of course Real Madrid. They didn't pay any transfer fee to PSG. No matter how much Real Madrid rewards Mbappe, the price they paid to get Mbappe is still too cheap.

Yes, exactly, the point here is about the money that Real Madrid has to spend for Mbappe. Of course, both Mbappe and Real Madrid benefit greatly. And Real Madrid also benefits because they don't have to spend a lot of money for PSG. Imagine if they were forced to sign Mbappe last season, they must pay around €180.00m.

Girona sold not only the striker, they sold their captain Aleix Garcia to Bayer, Savio was undoubtedly one of the leaders of the team, and he went to City, Dovbyk went to Roma, such changes should affect the team, and perhaps not in the best way.

That's it.
Artem Dovbyk, Aleix García, and some other key players are some of Girona's players who have quite an influence on the team. And there are several other players who left the team, especially those who are free transfers. While on the other hand, for the signing, the ability of these players is only mediocre, so of course this will affect their performance in 1 team.

I can say that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been successful in this transfer market. Real Madrid became the most successful club because they managed to get one of the best strikers in the world today, Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer. Atletico Madrid managed to get Julian Alvarez from City. I also agree that Alvarez is a player that Simeone really needs to perfect his tactics this season. And finally, there is good news for Barcelona fans because they managed to get Dani Olmo. But there is news that Barcelona still cannot register Olmo because they still cannot meet the FFP rules.

FFP rules are what has been causing Barcelona trouble for the last few years. The unbalanced economic spending in the past has upset Barcelona's balance for a few seasons. They are currently in the recovery phase. They will definitely make an adjustment for the Olmo transfer. Therefore, it is not difficult to predict that there will be players leaving the team. Maybe they can send a few players from the midfield to other teams. Also, Atletico Madrid made a transfer of Sorloth in addition to Alvarez. He was a striker I liked a lot last year. He will fight for the form with Alvarez and Diego Simeone will be advantageous in this situation. He has two warrior strikers. Atletico Madrid has one of the best offensive lines this year.

[mammusu]

For some reason, it turned out that he plays more often on loan to other teams than in Atletico, but in my opinion he is a very good forward.

In the last few seasons we have seen that Atletico Madrid is a serious challenger to Barcelona and Madrid in La Liga, but we cannot deny that their consistency and poor performance has often made them lose the opportunity to beat Barcelona and Madrid so far,  last time Atletico Madrid is able to destroy the dominance of Barcelona and Madrid in the race for the championship trophy, namely in 2021 and even then they have to wait almost 7 years to become champions again after happen in 2014, I think now  Simeone has very big ambitions to compete in La Liga and the Champions League by bringing in many new players at the moment and so far they have brought in 4 players including Conor Gallagher who is currently only one step away to get.

Looking at Atletico Madrid's current transfer activities, of course it is very different from what they did in the previous season, so in my opinion Atletico Madrid this season has big ambitions to break Madrid dominance in the league, but we should wait to see whether they will be able to destroy Los Galaticos in next season although madrid still has a better squad than Atletico Madrid at the moment.

They didn't pay to PSG, but they pay to Mbappe. I think you're very wrong about Madrid's chance to win the title. Mbappe ain't nothing without Madrid. Did Madrid have mbappe last season when they won UCL trophy?

Look at how Madrid won UCL again, and PSG was trophyless last season even when they had Mbappe on their side. We're talking about the fact. It's delusional to think Madrid could win consecutive titles without Mbappe. 

We can’t just just accept any information printed on any new outlet, firstly there is definitely going to be bonuses paid to Mbappe by Madrid because we all know that Madrid had to put out some incentives that would have drived him to them by rejecting some of those ridiculous offers from other clubs but can we be certain that it is upto 150M meant for his fees, i doubt that, because I could recall that Madrid didn’t want to break the bank then for such amount to when he was at PSG so they cannot simply pay that, but maybe if he sees his contract to the end this bonuses will amount to that, for now no concrete reports about this.

Also I wouldn’t say Madrid doesn’t need him, they can be more better with him in the team than now. PSG had him last season and weren’t trophyless because they won the league and the domestic cup. Only him been on the team cannot translate to winning trophies but at Madrid he is surrounded by other players who are almost of same quality like him and that will make the team stronger and better
