La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[naira]

It is very strange for me to see that Madrid played badly because they are the best team in the world and they just won the super cup while they played well. I will say, its just one of those bad games that the players have already been under too much pressure to perform and everybody is expecting them to win all their games with many goals. Having to draw isn't a bad result because they still managed to get one point but because of the team that they played against is why people are saying that Real Madrid lost. If the draw was against a team like Barcelona, nobody will be blaming real madrid for not winning. The players have to be ready for things like this when they don't win their matches against the smaller clubs that they should be winning. Because of the money the club has spent on buying players and building a dream team, everybody is expecting them to be consistent with winning games.

There is no other way but to leave it all to Ancelotti to really make sure his club is stable again. Because it is still early in the season so there are many opportunities and efforts, especially in placing his attack line so that it runs effectively as it should. Once again Real Madrid problem is the suitability of Mbappe position which still cannot be in the middle permanently. From the picture above, it is clear that Mbappe prefers to be in the left position rather than in the middle. It is better for now that Mbappe and Vinicius rotation must share time with each other in order to maintain stability.

Indeed, now all that can be done is to trust Ancelotti to improve and make adjustments there. And in fact, with all the experience that Ancelotti has, there is actually no reason for us to doubt Ancelotti's ability to make the Real Madrid squad in its best performance again. There are too many great players in the attack line, sometimes it takes a little time to adjust. At least we know Vinicius Jr can actually be placed anywhere. Because last season we saw how Vinicius Jr can still play well when placed up front or on the left side. It's just that I think Mbappe will remain in the middle and he will adapt to that.

Ancelotti has proven everything with Real Madrid so there is indeed nothing to doubt anymore, I see with the strength of the Real Madrid squad this season they can be better than last season despite the less than satisfactory results in the first week of the match but I am sure Ancelotti will soon make this team rise and also I think what happened at the beginning of the season is a natural thing when a team has not found its rhythm and true strength and for the future with the quality of players owned by Real Madrid I think no one doubts their strength.

I am also not worried about Real Madrid quality even though they just lost two points in their first match in La Liga. This is still the beginning and there are many more surprises that Real Madrid will show like they showed last season. Ancelotti squad is still the strongest in La Liga and will be a tough competitor for other teams in the title race, he will soon make Real Madrid rise again to show their true strength. Mbappe has managed to score a goal in his debut match when he defeated Atalanta in the European Super Cup, not scoring a goal against Mallorca does not mean that his sharpness is decreasing because it is impossible for a player to score goals in every match he plays.

[bestcoins1]

because the expectations pinned on Real Madrid are very high in the match against Mallorca, so there are some people who feel disappointed with the final result but look at Real Madrid did not experience defeat only ended with a draw and this is still early in the league and their first match was not that bad they got a lot of chances. the most important thing is the final result that they can win the La Liga and UCL trophies this season, and I do not doubt the strength of Real Madrid this season to achieve all that.

A draw in the opening match for Real Madrid is a very common thing because it will not drop the potential that already exists in Real Madrid itself this season. And besides, it is also true as you said that it is not a bad ending because there is still more time for all teams to get points and better results through other matches and Real Madrid certainly still has more opportunities to win this season. And in the next match at the end of this week I think Real Madrid will try to win at home when hosting Valladolid.

Why is Barcelona so easy to release its players? Is it true that this is all because of the bloated finances that they have to do this? It seems that it is no longer a public secret that Barcelona is in a difficult phase.

The departure of several of its players one by one has eroded the depth of its squad and it is no wonder that most of them were forced to leave their dream team to go to defend other clubs. As we know, Joao Felix has joined Chelsea after Barcelona was unable to pay the fees that Atletico wanted. Joao Cancelo also has the same case as Joao Felix and is currently in the process of deciding to join one of the Saudi league teams. Oriel Rumeu must return to Girona after Barcelona only used his services for one season and on the other hand, Vitor Roque is now planned to be loaned to Real Betis for one season. Gundogan, as has been widely discussed, is a regrettable player last season, why did he have to join Barcelona. The only one left from last season's signings is Inigo Martinez and he may still be a fairly important part of Hansi Flick's plans this season and it feels like he will also leave when his contract ends in 2025.

The turmoil of the Barcelona players is only due to fulfilling some of the needs of their cronies and I think it will continue like this if the right solution is not found.

When you already know the problems with Barcelona then why are you asking again about Barcelona is releasing its current players? Barcelona has a classic (financial) problem which has not yet been resolved, even releasing these players may not be able to make their finances stable but at least releasing the players on the list mentioned above makes it possible for Barcelona to register their new players at La Liga authorities, as we know at the moment, their has recruited Dani Olmo from Leipzig but Barcelona have not been able to play him in the league because they are in conflict with the current regulations, so that is what has triggered Barcelona compulsion to release a number of their current players.

Barcelona poor management in the past means that Laporta currently has to work hard to stabilize their finances, but with the magnitude of the problems currently occurring, of course Barcelona needs the right solution to fix their financial problems, previously Barcelona has implemented several options to overcome the problem with includes selling star and academy players, selling broadcasting rights and also cutting players salaries, but so far they have not been able to improve their finances so we can imagine how big a problem Barcelona currently.

In your opinion, why can the draw be considered reasonable when considering the quality of the players and the quality of the opponents faced, it is very unlikely that the match will end in a draw. Although this result is not a reference because there are still many matches that Real Madrid will face this season, if you pay attention, the draw obtained in the match must be a comprehensive evaluation and Ancelotti must have alternatives when the forwards fail to create many goals with good opportunities.

Valladolid is not an equal opponent for Real Madrid and they have just got a promotion ticket to La Liga so the match should be much easier. A great opportunity for Real Madrid to test the strength of the team where Ancelotti can implement other players as starters to rotate, although I am not sure that will be implemented completely because Real Madrid must get three points in the match.

Somehow people responded to Real Madrid's draw excessively, even though this is something that is very normal in football. They may have high expectations, but they should not forget that the expectations they think may not happen either. No matter how strong the club is, if in that match they have to get a draw then that is what they will get. They also have the chance to lose, although the possibility is relatively small.

People who show their deep disappointment are just like people who are new to football. Even though before there were many moments where they also saw bigger surprises. So be relaxed, after all this is also their first match.

[AYOBA]

Real Madrid won every tournament in the last season, so they can continue to do so in the next season. We have no doubts about the quality of the players and their performances as Real Madrid have built their squad in such a way that they have no weaknesses. From the defense to the forward line-up, Real Madrid has qualified players in every position, so it is expected that their performance will be better than this season and next season. I don't see any team in La Liga that can overtake Real Madrid in terms of points, same goes for the Champions League. 

Maybe Manchester City or Bayern Munich will compete but in the end Real Madrid are more likely to do well in the competition.

The last was a favor Real Madrid in every tournament they might continue to repeat the same this season means if they remain consistent like others season, because in my own view I’m seeing La Laila that o will very tout this season then last season base on how I see some strong teams are also included in the La liga this season.

Although that last season Bayern Munich performance was not that well but this will they might be a a lot of change from, because they have new manager currently now and i know the manger will try his possible best to make sure he make the team more standard into better performances.

[junder]

I think you are wrong my friend. If the team they are playing is Real Madrid, a draw is a bad result because the squad they have set up is clearly the best squad in the world right now. Considering that Mbappe is also in the attack, they should not have made a mistake in the Mallorca match, but they could not do that and left the match with a draw. These 2 points are a big problem for them because we expected them to dominate the league this year.

in your opinion real madrid should not feel defeat or draw in their match, therefore los blancos must continue to win in every match. come on buddy this is about football, there is no guarantee real madrid must continue to get good results at the end of the match. the strength of a team is not measured by how many star players it has, but by the compactness shown on the field. moreover a player must experience ups and downs in terms of performance. so don't expect too much, this is only the first week, la liga is still running, the most important thing at the end of the season real madrid can be at the top.

[Minor Miner]

It is very strange for me to see that Madrid played badly because they are the best team in the world and they just won the super cup while they played well.

Because of the money the club has spent on buying players and building a dream team, everybody is expecting them to be consistent with winning games.

We hope that at least Real Madrid can still get full points when other big teams get a draw. But the situation is a little reversed now because it is Barcelona who are now the first to get full points in the first week of this season.

Well, it seems like the players are under quite a lot of pressure because after all, everyone's expectations of them are very high. Especially after they got Mbappe to fill the spearhead of their squad. It's just that their performance is actually not bad at all. But I was quite disturbed by the way they took advantage of the opportunities they got in front of the opponent's goal. Because I see a little selfishness from the players who seem too eager to score goals. So he often forces himself to shoot the ball even though it is a difficult position. Which would have been better from that position if he passed it back to a player who was in a better position. Hopefully in the second week everything can be better. And it would be very disappointing if something similar happened again.

I mean I know it is quite disappointing to see Real Madrid drawing against a lower level team like Mallorca but what we need to understand is that this is their second match with this lineup. I know they did well against Atalanta but we need to keep in mind that a good synergy does not build up in 2 matches. It is going to take some time.

I believe Coach Carlo Ancelotti can fix these problems. He is known for being close with the players and finding the solutions of the problem.
You know he made Vinicius Jr one of the best players in the world. Many people are worried that Mbappe might think too big of himself and start doing things as he pleases but Ancelotti can for sure stop them. If he can synchronize his team, he will definitely be able to win both the La Liga and the Uefa Champions League, which I believe he will. The players are kind of under pressure right now but I think Real Madrid players are used to pressure and I believe they can come back from these stronger.

[Hvdv]

For a team as big as Madrid, of course a draw is a bad result, but not for Mallorca, which has been the bottom team in the Liga so far, but even so, a draw in the first match is not something that makes Madrid have to continue to be criticized because the result they got was not In line with the expectations expected by the fans, the results in Madrid first match should not make the fans lose enthusiasm because after all, the Madrid squad which is full of star players like today still gives them hope of winning many trophies in the future, the first match is clear that Madrid still has shortcomings in the front line, Rodrigo, Mbappe and Vinicius played very poorly and found it difficult to support each other in terms of scoring goals and it was often seen that the three of them did not have good communication in determining the right position for them in the game in match.

It is very strange for me to see that Madrid played badly because they are the best team in the world and they just won the super cup while they played well.

Yes, you made the most critical comment. If they had drawn against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, it would have been acceptable, but when they drew against Mallorca, it caused criticism. Real Madrid spent a lot of money and continued to struggle for years to build such an elite team. We were saying that this year would be the year they would reap the rewards, but they drew in the first match, fortunately, they still have many matches ahead of them. I am sure they will make up for this in the other matches, they still have the best squad in the world.

Arsenal is said to have made progress on a deal with Real Sociedad for Merino. It is said to be around a 30 million euros deal. Considering his market value is normally 50 million, it sounds a really good amount that they are close to agree on.    He is one of the best midfielders in Real Sociedad squad. No doubt they will try their best to get as much money as possible.

Bu he has only 1 year left on the current contract so they had better not miss the opportunity. Otherwise he might even leave as free agent you know. It wouldn't be nice to lose one of your best players in that way.

Barcelona has had financial problems so far and if we want to discuss that all season, then I'm sure the problems will never be resolved. The financial problem is an internal problem for the club, so I don't think we need to spend a lot of time and energy thinking about how to solve it. Speculation about the steps taken by Barcelona to improve its financial condition is certainly good to discuss, but it is also not useful if it is carried out throughout the season.

Barcelona has so far taken various steps to improve its finances and improve them, but of course this will not be resolved immediately. Selling some players, loaning them to other teams, reducing salaries and so on are the ways they do it, but this is not important to me. I just enjoy the games and competitions they participate in without getting too involved in internal matters.

Oriel Rumeu must return to Girona after Barcelona only used his services for one season and on the other hand, Vitor Roque is now planned to be loaned to Real Betis for one season. Gundogan, as has been widely discussed, is a regrettable player last season, why did he have to join Barcelona. The only one left from last season's signings is Inigo Martinez and he may still be a fairly important part of Hansi Flick's plans this season and it feels like he will also leave when his contract ends in 2025.

The turmoil of the Barcelona players is only due to fulfilling some of the needs of their cronies and I think it will continue like this if the right solution is not found.

The departure of some of the players is as a result of lack of signing new players that will strengthen the squad. But it is strange for such cases to happen with the same week or just one week interval, I expect the team to do their best in keeping some of these payers because if you looked at all the players that depart, they have contributed in one or two ways to help the team achieve their success last season. Nevertheless, I was thinking that Barcelona can still stand to compete with Real Madrid in the Laliga despite the signing of Mbappe, but now, I will only support Real Madrid because they have the best squad and will surely defeat Barcelona anytime they met.

The transfer window is not closed yet and from the many sales that’s taking place in Barcelona, it is certain that they’ll hard new players to fill up those spaces or even build on their younger players to develop them into the senior team level. Barcelona always have issues of this financial constraints. For Gundogan, I heard they wanted him to reduce his salary which he refused and decided to leave on an agreement with them. Same could be with the remaining players leaving or maybe they can’t keep some of them on permanent deal and they have offers of being permanent players to other teams, so they’ll have to resort to leaving instead of being a loaned player. Let’s see if Barcelona can make any addition to their squad to make it stronger than before, it is them we can now say they’re ready to battle Real Madrid for the league title.

There are no 2 points for a draw result, because a draw only results in 1 point and not 2 points. But regardless, the draw that Real Madrid got was certainly a disappointing result. Indeed,  I also know that in football there will always be a loss and a draw and not always a win, but anyway, because if we compare the quality between Real Madrid and Mallorca it is clear that Real Madrid is the best and can be sure to win.

Maybe, if we talk only about a prediction and also talk about football then this draw is still something reasonable. But, if we involve money because we bet and expect Real Madrid to win, then of course a result like this is a very bad result, considering how luxurious Real Madrid is. In the next match,  Real Madrid can still be said to get an easy opponent, because Real Madrid will also play at home against the promoted team Valladolid. I think there is no reason for Real Madrid to fail to win, because a match like this can be a sure win for Real Madrid.

Of course we can't see it too high, after all an analyst can't be too fanatical about a team, although I also realize that Real Madrid really has players who are capable enough to beat any team today, the confidence is quite good, but we need to be aware that a team has fluctuations in performance, we haven't seen injuries and miscommunication and various other problems that can make a team lose control so that it can be defeated as before, I think a few times surely Real Madrid was defeated from other competitors.

Oriol Romeu is not Barcelona key player and Vitor Roque was flopped even last season he only played 14 times in Laliga and if Vitor Roque stayed at this team i think he will be hard to gets one place on Barcelona starting lineup considering they have Lewandowski which much better than him and for Joao Felix he also similar to Vitor Roque because Joao Felix also flopped and this makes Barcelona is not interested anymore to permanent his status

So basically why Barcelona decide to release these players because they didn't bringing positive impact for the team but indeed i still wondering why Barcelona has decide to sell Gundogan because he is important player for this team because i mean if Barcelona want to release some players i think they can sell other player such as Frankie De Jong rather than Gundogan because this player is injured prone and never can in form with Barcelona

Ancelotti used to be a central midfielder in time of Grande AC Milan with Sacchi then Capello. He had enough experience as a star player and played with many star players through his career. Perhaps his experience as a player in many years, helps him to understand thinking of star players and when he became a coach, he had good style in management on star players.

Ancelotti is a smart manager, he understands his players and his opponents. I think he's utilizing his knowledge as an experienced central midfielder and applying it into his professional career as a manager and that's working for him. I know being a manager comes with a lot of responsibilities which are beyond just being an experienced player in the past.

We've seen how coaches like Jose Mourinho have had a very successful career as a coach yet they were never professional players to any club in the past. You need to be properly organized as an individual to be able to coach people. Humans are the most difficult assets to manage, so it takes a while lot more than just being a player in the past to be able manage a dynamic squad of players from different countries and different characters.
