La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[asriloni]

With the La liga opener in a few days, many are worried about the current state of Barcelona. After losing 0-3 to Monaco in their own home, everyone is doubting how the team will play against Valencia this saturday.

Their coach acknowledged that they did not play well and even the players themselves made some errors but he assured fans that the team will play differently in Valencia.

This is the problem when your squad is full of youngsters. Their inexperience makes their performance inconsistent in the game. And we cannot seriously expect them to enter the team and play like 8+ year veterans. People should even hold back their expectations for a youngster squad of Barcelona. The loss against Monaco is giving us great lessons. It will either make or break them.

Eventhough the loss against Monaco doesn't bother me. However, we were so bad going forward. We had no control in midfield and poor defense against Monaco's low block and counter attack. It's also telling what Barcelona's squad is going to witness in the league. I hope they learn from this game.

I'm sure Barcelona's performance will definitely be very different when the new season starts. The reason is that in pre-season matches and also in the match against Monaco, Barcelona's performance is very difficult to predict well. The reason is, in pre-season matches Barcelona was actually able to beat big teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid. So what is certain is that we don't really know what Barcelona's current performance is like. But what is certain is that in next season's match against Valencia, I am very optimistic that Barcelona will definitely win the match. Because I'm sure Valencia's performance won't be too surprising this season. Because in the previous season Valencia's performance was not very good. Apart from that, even in this season's transfer window, Valencia did not bring in too many new players. So you can be sure that Valencia's performance will definitely remain the same as in the previous season. So with these facts, I am very confident that Barcelona can definitely beat Valencia in the opening Laliga match this season.

The reason is, even though Barcelona looks weak when facing Monaco, this is normal because Barcelona will certainly not be too serious about fielding their players in pre-season matches and also in the Juan Gamper Cup final against Monaco. Because this will of course be more risky and also endanger the players they have. That's why in these matches Barcelona sometimes wins even though they are against strong teams and sometimes loses even though their opponents are mediocre. The reason is, the players are not under pressure to always win in pre-season matches or the match against Monaco. So Barcelona just made this match to test the suitability of the players and also to come up with a new strategy.

Their coach acknowledged that they did not play well and even the players themselves made some errors but he assured fans that the team will play differently in Valencia. The team is probably not at its best right now fitness wise.

This win against Barcelona might be a big part of the discussions of Monaco and Faye, with the principality very much interested in the 20 year old.

In my opinion, what happened in this game was the following: before this game, the Barcelona coach was playing with certain players and only had 3 or 4 regular players, but in the game against Monaco he put more regular players, who had not played for a long time, which made the team perform very poorly. This defeat is a bad sign. Barcelona lost João Cancelo, who is an excellent defender but could also help in midfield and attack.

Barcelona's coach did not play a friendly match in which all his good players played, so the good results that Barcelona obtained in the friendlies do not reflect Barcelona's strength. In my opinion, Barcelona, ​​with all its good players, is much worse than those players who played in the friendly.

I'm sure Barcelona's performance will definitely be very different when the new season starts. The reason is that in pre-season matches and also in the match against Monaco, Barcelona's performance is very difficult to predict well. The reason is, in pre-season matches Barcelona was actually able to beat big teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The Barcelona coach played with players who do not usually play regularly, such as: Pau Víctor who scored 2 goals in the friendly against Real Madrid and scored a goal in the game against Manchester City. There is also the case of Pablo Torre who scored a goal in the game against Milan. If Barcelona had played with their best regular players, they would have lost against Real Madrid, Manchester City and Milan in those friendly matches.

Madrid success in recruiting Mbappe for free from PSG was a big surprise, no one expected PSG to lose their most valuable asset for nothing. Madrid bargaining power in every competition is an attraction for every player, so they are willing to leave and do not care about the bonuses offered. We know that in the past Madrid also often suffered big losses, because the players they recruited at high prices failed to meet expectations. However, in this transfer window, it must be admitted that they really succeeded. It is not an easy job to build an ideal squad, although financially many clubs can buy any player.

...

Real Madrid signing of Mbappe from PSG was big surprise. Many top players want to join Real Madrid because of their reputation and influence. Although Madrid has made some expensive mistakes in past they did great job this time. Having strong team is not easy even with a lot of money. Barcelona and Atletico are also trying to improve their teams but Atletico is spending most money this transfer window. Barcelona ca not afford to buy all players their coach wants because of financial problems. Having good team does not guarantee success as we saw with Girona last season. Strong team is important but it is not the only factor.

Yes, PSG definitely really lost Mbappe because of course Mbappe is a key player at PSG, but yes, in this case, Real Madrid is very lucky to be able to get Mbappe for free from PSG and of course there are lots of football players who want to play at Real Madrid because Real Madrid it is indeed a popular and good club. Yes, Real Madrid also experienced periods where their players did not live up to expectations even though the players' prices were high. but it seems like now Real Madrid has really learned from its experience and finally Real Madrid is really great at being a strong team and having a strong squad. and indeed in this transfer market Real Madrid has been really successful, of course this will make their squad even stronger and what is certain is that Real Madrid wants to win the title again in Laliga and UCL.

Yes, of course there are certainly many clubs that can buy expensive players, but in this case Real Madrid is luckier and Real Madrid's technique is really good at attracting the players they want to buy.

It's true that Atletico Madrid spent a lot of money in the transfer market this time and Atletico Madrid improved their team well, but yes, Barcelona has bad financial problems. But the most important thing is that now Barcelona has tried its best to improve the quality of its team and we'll see in the match they will have in Laliga and of course we'll see the techniques and formations created by Hansi Flick.

Mbappe has yet to feature in a match for Real, but we have seen him training for Real Madrid. Maybe Real Madrid coach Ancelotti will field Mbappe in the next match to play in the starting eleven.

Definitely, I think Ancelotti will play him in the European Super Cup. Mbappe is on the list of players brought to Warsawa. Madrid will face Antalanta. If you look at the condition of the team and the statistics, I think Madrid is still too strong for Atalanta. Madrid can always win in the last 2 matches in the 2021. Ancelotti also want Mbappe to immediately get his first trophy with Madrid by winning this match.

[SmartCharpa]

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.

If we have to talk about the most successful team in La Liga during the transfer market, I don't think Barcelona can be included among the teams that were able to sign the players they want to strengthen their performance, If I am not mistaken, Barcelona had only signed Olmo since the transfer market was open, and Barcelona is unable to register him due to La Liga rules. On the other hand Atletico Madrid has been the top club that has spent a lot of money to get more players to improve their performance and Real Madrid hasn't spent anything in the transfer market because they already had the players they needed for next season.

Madrid success in recruiting Mbappe for free from PSG was a big surprise, no one expected PSG to lose their most valuable asset for nothing. Madrid bargaining power in every competition is an attraction for every player, so they are willing to leave and do not care about the bonuses offered.

Of course, no one expected PSG to release Mbappe to another club as a free agent, Mbappe is the club's highest-paid player, so everyone was shocked that PSG lost him for free, despite the fact that he signed a new contract last season. Mbappe did the right thing by terminating his contract with PSG since Real Madrid would not spend such amounts to sign a single player, it was also for his own good because Mbappe was eager to join Real Madrid, and if he did not terminate his contract, he would not have been able to join his dream club.

Mbappe recruitment is no longer a big surprise, because this rumor has been going on for quite a long time since last season, Mbappe could have gone to Madrid if he did not accept PSG offer. In fact everyone knows that Mbappe is closer to Madrid than any other club. It's just that what is special is when the official announcement completes the puzzle piece that has been missing for so long. Before it was made official, there was so much drama that we witnessed on social media about Mbappe and Real Madrid. Not a few were initially disappointed when Mbappe failed to be brought in last season. But what is much more interesting about Mbappe arrival in Madrid is the free cost. Imagine Madrid only needs a little time to be patient because any star player finds it difficult to refuse an offer from a luxury club like Real Madrid. Even if there are any, we can count them on our fingers.

When this transfer took place Mbappe no longer attracts so much attention, instead they often start writing about how clubs from Saudi Arabia want to buy Vinicius, and perhaps this attracts so much attention because he has a clause of $1billion in his contract, but they are ready to pay it, and if it is true that they offered Vinicius a contract for €350m per year, this is a huge amount of money, it is hard to believe that a footballer can earn such money in one year. Maybe this is not true information, but I see that many different publications wrote about it today.

What to worry about? La Liga is available with 38 matches and if Barcelona starts with a bad result against Valencia, it doesn't mean everything is over. You need to know the difference between La Liga and preseason which when playing against Monaco was wrapped in the trophy that Laporta made. So I won't worry about Barcelona first match, because they can definitely play better regardless of people who doubt the club's condition. The La Liga journey is long and tiring, sometimes the team is on fire and sometimes the team is sluggish. All conditions will be experienced by all teams, not only Barcelona but also Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Girona etc.

Barcelona played well against AS Monaco, look at the statistics, it says it all. They were just unlucky because they couldn't score a goal, after all this was just a friendly match that had no objective and was just a trial and error test for Barcelona. The league match will definitely be different, after all the odds in Barcelona's match against Valencia are very unequal, Barcelona gets @1,72 while Valencia gets @4,7. With that odds comparison, there is no doubt that Barcelona will get their first 3 points at Mestalla.

I’m also worried about Barcelona's current performance against Monaco,  I don’t think Barcelona will be able to beat some teams in La Liga this season, Barcelona brought another new coach and we are seeing the team performance from the pre-season when the coach is using Lamasia players to win games and that shows that the problem of Barcelona is not from the coach, some players are in Barcelona squad that needs to be benched for some matches or sell some of them and use the La Masia players to make a good squad for the club, from yesterday game against Monaco you will believe that Barcelona problem is from the players, not the coach.

I have been saying it before the team sacked Xavi that the problem is from the players but some Barcelona fans did not believe it and started accusing the manager any time the team lost a game, let be honest Barcelona needs to sell some of their players that are not good and with the kind of performance I saw with Barcelona yesterday they can’t compete against Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid because these teams are full of good attacking players.

Therefore, from this match we must realize that it will not be easy to play if we only rely on the young players currently in Barcelona. It takes flying hours and experience, even though in terms of ball possession they are already superior, Barcelona made many mistakes in yesterday's match, especially since AS Monaco was in good form in that match, it is only natural that AS Monaco won. I admit that the young Blaugrana players do have the talent and potential to become great players someday, but when it comes to the championship title and competition in La Liga, experienced players are needed in the sense of having a champion mentality. I think the fans don't need to immediately demand the championship title, Barcelona is currently in a transition period. Seeing the defeat experienced by his team. Hansi Flick will definitely correct these mistakes with a different appearance that will be shown when facing Valencia in La Liga later.

[rendravolt]

The competition was self-made and the opponent was chosen by themselves but Barcelona actually suffered a defeat.

Yes, as is known, Barcelona has just held the Joan Gamper trophy and their opponent is a team from France, Monaco. In the match, Barcelona could not move and had to concede 3 goals which made Monaco win the trophy. Although this seems like just a pre-season match, there is a trophy to be fought for and the host should have been able to win this match easily. The mistakes in the defense line were so bad that Barcelona could not fix it during the match.

But seeing Barcelona's performance last night seemed unusual, even though they had won against strong teams in the pre-season match but when facing an opponent they should have been able to beat, they couldn't. However, this will remain a note that Hansi Flick must fix and of course he also doesn't want his first debut as Barcelona coach to lose points in the La Liga competition later.

In the final match of the Joan Gamper Trophy, it was a real shame that Hansi Flick's troops had to swallow the bitter pill because they failed to become champions and of course I personally was also shocked when I saw the Barcelona players' performance decline and in the final match of the Joan Gamper Trophy, Barcelona should have performed better because the players His mainstay is being played, but yes, of course now Barcelona is less fortunate and of course they have to accept the fact that Monaco is better than Barcelona.

but if you think about it, Monaco in Ligue 1 is not a weak team and in the 2023-2024 season, Monaco managed to win second place and of course it is normal for Barcelona to lose, but of course I see that Barcelona needs to be improved by Hansi Flick from In terms of mentality and also in terms of exploiting opportunities,by Hansi Flick also needs to improve.

Barcelona's next match in Laliga will be against Valencia. Of course, many people will be worried because they lost when they faced Monaco. What Hansi Flick said makes sense, but I personally also believe that Hansi Flick will improve Barcelona's shortcomings and I also predict that the next time Barcelona plays Valencia, I also believe that Barcelona will have the potential big to win against Valencia.

Perche ritieni che sia una grossa sorpresa? Alla fine sicuramente avevano preso accordi prima per questo il Real Madrid non si era preoccupato di cercare attaccanti, sapeva che a fine stagione a costo zero avrebbe avuto Mbappe. Queste cose sono classiche del Real Madrid che in questo modo ha risparmiato veramente tanti soldi.

Many things were written and published about the transfer of Mbappe even before it happened. Such that when such transfer now happened, there was no much surprises or publications to make. We all know that Mbappé has been longing to play in Real Madrid, I don't know if it's his natural affinity to the club or because his idol (Ronaldo), played in the club and he wants to follow his steps. You can see how he recreated Ronaldo's iconic speech to Real Madrid fans during his unveiling. Whatever be the case, we can now be happy for Mbappe and wish him well in Real Madrid. Real Madrid is actually a club that can make or mare players. Whether a big name player or not.

Well if there is any reason one should place around mbappe move to Real Madrid then it would be the one that his idol actually played in that club, mbappe idolize Ronaldo so much that he is dyeing wish to play in that club is just something else and I believe that's the reason why he left when his contract has expired because his move to Madrid has been far too long being delayed and the speculation around his transfer is that he went as a free agent to Real Madrid.

100% I am sure that Vincius rejected the offer, no matter how much the Saudi Arabian club spends to woo Vinicius it will not work. It seems that the Saudi Arabian club is overestimating a young player like Vinicius, a brilliant career in Europe, a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, Madrid proud striker and having a special place that can never be replaced in the main squad makes Vinicius a strong reason not to leave Europe too early. Moreover Vinicius is not a player who is hungry for money, his salary is more than enough in Madrid and all the club's existence. So don't expect him to go to the Saudi Arabian club.

I think it is no longer a surprise because after all, the issue of Mbappe's move to Real Madrid has been going on for a long time, so many conclusions about his move would have occurred for free and other conclusions at that time, but it really became a reality. With this case, I don't think it's a surprise, but if it's about mistakes, then maybe it was PSG who made a big mistake.

How could it not be, because a great player at a young age could ultimately leave for free because after all, young players who have great potential should be very profitable but PSG didn't get it. So yes, in this case Real Madrid really got luxury in their squad with a very low transfer fee and it was a very good and experienced strategy.

The match against Monaco again made us confused about their possible performance in La Liga, this time we might think negatively after the defeat against Monaco, but weren't they also able to win the friendly El Classico match against Madrid?
Winning and losing in the first league match will of course greatly affect the mentality of the players so that Barcelona should be able to avoid negative results from occurring in their first match against Valencia later, Barcelona is not in the best condition to face the league later, especially now that they are still struggling with regulations to register their new player (Dani Olmo) with the La Liga authorities, so it is clear that this will reduce the depth of their squad in the first match, but even so, of course we cannot use this defeat as a reference to underestimate Barcelona strength next season, because it is We don't yet know how effective Hansi Flick will be in building Barcelona at this time.
