La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Majestic-milf]

I'm glad that Gundogan is returning to Man City. I wonder what made him leave in the first place; change of scenery or was he thinking he could help Barca? Heard he's done with his coaching course and maybe just wants to wile away time till he's ready to begin.
Barcelona are seriously having money issues and I'm wondering how they'd maintain Dani Olmo who they just signed if this how they can treat one of their players who has been instrumental in the midfield.
 Seriously I would have preferred if he had gone on to PSG instead of Barca. I'm wondering if this their money issues had  always been there or is it a recent occurrence.

Gundogan likes to move from team to team as a free agent, no one loses and no one earns on him on transfers, he just moves where he wants, maybe this is the advantage of one-season contracts. On the other hand, he is no longer young and it is unlikely that they will want to sign long-term contracts with him, maybe he will play for City for a few more years and then go to Saudi Arabia. I don’t know why Flick is not worried about players like Joao Felix and Gundogan leaving the team, maybe he is worried, but in the end he lets them go, the loss of Gundogan for Barca could be too tangible.

I'd have to agree. Eventually you let them go even if it's against your wish but for Gundogan, Flick's mind seemed to have been made up long ago and I don't think the ex Germany international is interested anymore. It looks more like he's focused on the coaching career ahead and using this time to gain some experience. Either way, I'm glad he's going back to City. Some other players would have sought a move to Saudi pro league like you said. Let's see if he's got some steam left to still perform magic like he did back when he was with the citizens.

If Barcelona were not struggling financially, I don't think they would have let a player of Gundogan caliber leave, as Hansi Flick himself knows the former Manchester City captain abilities very well. It seems that everyone was surprised by the Gundogan transfer, and did not expect Barcelona to do it, this is another setback that has surfaced. Besides, Hansi Flick will surely feel that his task will be even harder going forward, and now it makes sense to understand why Xavi overreacted to the club finances in the last season. If Barcelona still have ambitions to sign Nico Williams, then we will see another surprise transfer, Barcelona will certainly have to let go of more players to make it happen.

Bad news for Barcelona after releasing mutual contract for Ikay Gundogan and have return back to Manchester City with free transfer to make Barcelona's financial better and has opportunity registering their new players Dani Olmo.
Actually Ikay Gundogan have two years contract left with Barcelona but both side have reach agreement for mutual contract and Ikay Gundogan will not get his two season salary and become free agent players.

Barcelona haven't many option due high salary receiving by Ikay Gundogan and not ability cut off his salary around 50%, after Gundogan joining Manchester City has opportunity for Dani Olmo get registering without break financial fair play regulation but recently Barcelona still not announce yet about squad list for second La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao in this weekend. Any opportunity for Dani Olmo make his debut for Barcelona on this week or he must waiting more longer until Barcelona get stable or balance financial condition.

[$anounimus$]

Barcelona worrying financial condition has forced the club to adopt policies that appear detrimental in order to reduce the burden of expenses in paying players' salaries. Gundogan is a good player, he is also very experienced in maintaining the balance of the midfield, on the one hand his departure makes Barcelona lose one of the quality midfielders, on the other hand, the Barcelona squad has an empty space to register Dani Olmo.
Yes, Barcelona is trying to bring in new players, they have also negotiated with several clubs to sell some of their players in order to get money. There are still a few days left in the transfer window, let's see how far Barcelona will go to bring in the players they want for their squad.

there is no other way for Barcelona, ​​they are very stressed with financial conditions so they are forced to release their best players. However, Blaugrana management is always looking for other alternatives to save face in La Liga. I think it will be very difficult for El Barca to be able to compete with Real Madrid again in La Liga because with financial conditions like that it is not easy for anyone to handle a team. Hansi Flick will also likely have difficulty in putting together a good team even though he is a great coach.

The ups and downs of a team's performance are commonplace, and it can happen to any team, even the strongest. Talking about Madrid's first match this season, the results they got were indeed not satisfactory. However, this is just the beginning and maybe some Madrid players have not performed optimally when playing their first match. So, this is a common thing to happen. The most important thing is that Real Madrid does not lose points in their first match. Next, Don Carlo will maximize his team, including Mbappe's performance so that they can become prolific goal scorers in future matches. After all, there are still many matches to be played, Madrid's chances are wide open to defend the League title. Let's just see the developments, maybe Real Madrid needs a warm-up that stimulates them to achieve their true performance. This week Madrid will host Real Valladolid, we can see how Mbappe and his teammates perform. No need to worry, this is just the beginning. However, if in the next few matches Madrid's performance is not optimal, then we can say that Madrid is having problems. what is certain is that Madrid has a very competitive depth and they are a tough team to beat their opponents in the matches they will play.

First of all, this is the first match that like the whole team will experience a little change because it requires adaptation of new players or new coaches. In Madrid case, it only requires adaptation from new players like Mbappe who needs time to adapt to understand the playing style of the whole team in La Liga. So whatever the result, we can understand because it is already a pretty good result because 1 point still looks good compared to having to lose points without a fight. We'll see what happens later when they play against Valladolid, I think Madrid will still win because they are playing at home and Mbappe can take advantage of this opportunity to see Valladolid playing style.

Yes I think as currently in the new season it will take some time to adapt to the game with every new player. Real Madrid's coach has not prepared so strongly yet, it seems that even though they drew the first match, they did not lose points, however Real Madrid's game performance will definitely improve. Since Mbappe is playing at Real Madrid this season, he may need some time to adapt to the players of Real Madrid.  Of course we will see the next match in La Liga against Real Madrid in this game in Valladolid, Real Madrid will definitely try hard to win and succeed.

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.

Barcelona financial strength is on the negative side at the moment and that's why they're making some surprising decisions to balance up the team but despite every move they've made so far, it's obvious that the club are yet unprepared for the new season. Dani Olmo was signed to the club this summer even when I think they should've used the money to sign Nico Williams instead, however he wasn't registered to play in their first league game of the season so I feel Gundogan was asked to leave so they can have the space to accommodate their new signing and to reduce the financial burden of paying too many players. There's report that the club management is still trying to sign a left winger this summer but I don't think it's gonna be possible considering their financial inabilities at the moment.

It will take some time for Barcelona to recover from this huge downfall. Sometimes i wonder if it is the same Barca i know then i watch play football are playing like this. There are several factors that made me feel Barcelona will be in this situation throughout this season. The reason is because they have failed to recruit new players from the academy that are very talented, instead they strive to get players from outside which will cost them more. I know about the financial issue in the club so there is no point in keeping talented player in the academy while they are in need of players to support the team at this point. Bring them out just the way he brough Lamal, now he is one of the vital and important players in Barcelona.

There are other players like him in the academy why not bring them to play for the first team. At least for now.

[Blitzboy]

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.

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.

After one game everyone begins to make hasty judgments. Real Madrid is not a fly-by-night operation; it is an empire. We have the best manager in the world, the deepest bench in the league, and a roster full with ability. Mbappe is a generational gift; give him some time to fit the squad and keep an eye on things.

Valladolid comes next; mark me here; we will see a different Real Madrid. Ancelotti is more skilled than a magician; he is also knowing what he is doing. We are planning rather than panicking. And we will be raising that La Liga trophy once more when the dust settles. You can bet on it.

So, to all the naysayers and doubters, relax. Real Madrid does not crumble under pressure; we live on it. This is only the start; we will make this season one to write in history. Remember, we're Real Madrid, and we always deliver.

It is true that Real Madrid's results against Mallorca are not good. There is no denying it. There is no doubt that this Real Madrid squad is very strong. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. But let's not forget that this Madrid squad is young. Bonding between players takes time to solidify.

Ancelotti is an experienced coach. He will surely find Madrid's weaknesses and mistakes in this match. Madrid's squad is strong. If the match strategy is good and the bonding between the players is strong then this team can beat any big team.

Mbappe should definitely develop a friendly relationship with Vini and Bellingham. Otherwise, despite Mbappe's many talented players in attack, we will not get the expected performance from Madrid.

Why suddenly Real became a young team? They recently won La Liga, Champions League and Super Cup and then they were not a young team, and after they played in a draw with Malorka, they need time? 

Sometimes this will happen, it is impossible to win all games, some of them will play in a draw, some will even lose, this is normal. Real Madrid is definitely not a young team, Modric Karvakhal and several more players will most likely soon think to complete their career. But I do not think that this will be a problem for Real Madrid, they have a great depth of the bench and they will cope with this very well. Losing points in the first round is not pleasant, but this is not critical, I think Real will soon fix everything.

Long-term planning requires you to rely on young players. Ancelotti is likely to leave Madrid next season. So before that, Real Madrid management is keen to build a stable youth-reliant team. As a result, they will be able to continue their good performance by keeping the squad unchanged for a long time in the future.

Last season Madrid had experienced players like Toni Kroos and Modrich in the squad. Who could change the entire scenario of the match at any time. If Kross had been with Madrid this season I'm sure Madrid's gameplay would have been more stable. But now the midfield and forward players need some time to adapt to Mbappe. If Mbappe can fit in well with the Madrid players then I am sure Madrid's performances will be more consistent

[bitgolden]

I believe that Ancelotti knows that he is doing and he is only trying new strategies to see the best that will suit his game plan. Also I think he is using this early time of the season to know the best position on where these strikers will perform very well. Don't forget that Ancelotti can bring out the best in players and can convert them to play a different wing from the initial.

Ancelotti is not confused on how to use these strikers because in no time, you will see his brain work. It was a fair match and the next match will be better than the first.

Ancelotti's ability to change tactics and the players he has in the Real Madrid team is indeed unquestionable so for now everyone should still see Real Madrid as a strong and quite dangerous team in the competition because Ancelotti can use unusual strategies in his important matches this season. I also quite agree with what you said because it has been proven that Ancelotti is able to do his best for Real Madrid like last season to be able to get two prestigious trophies at one time.

That is the funny part, if it was another manager that didn't get good results then this tactic, the way they play would be questioned a lot and the manager would be fired. Ancelotti figured out a way, that looks horrible, and would not work in any other team ever, and somehow still gets Real Madrid all the titles, which is really weird and I still don't get how that works lol.

I mean the joke about how Vini and Mbappe and Rodrygo were all at left wing for a while is true, for a short while that happened, normally that is not the case but they all switch places at all times, they do not have a set position to play, I have seen Mbappe at left and Vini at striker many times too, and even Mbappe a bit back and Jude ahead. He just does whatever he wants with the tactics and players, and because it gets results nobody questions him, looks horrible but then gets a result of they are looking to keep doing what he is doing and will forever be happy as long as they get the results.

I totally agree with you. This was one of the reasons why Real Madrid's overall performance was not stable. Players failed to select their position correctly. Talented players like Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham cannot play in their own positions. So Ancelotti's match strategy works properly in this match.

Madrid's main problem now is Mbappe. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a fantastic player, but I'm still saying this. Mbappe is a bit monotonous. And because of this he is not able to adjust himself well with the squad players. Also Vini and Mbappe have played in the same position in the past. So the players are having some problem to adapt to the new position. But since Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. Very soon maybe he will solve this problem. And we'll see stronger gameplay from Madrid next.

What's strange about this, I've seen many times when Carvajal was in the forward position when a corner was taken and he scored goals, or even when someone from the midfield was near the goal and also scored. There is a lot of dynamics on the pitch, players have to move around because they will constantly be played by defenders, and in this case Rodrygo and Vinicius are trying to adapt to playing with Mbappe. For Ancelotti, it is not an easy task to fit three forwards on the field at once, add Bellingham to them, who is also constantly moving closer to the goal and we get a clumsy mixture that will either work or cause Ancelotti problems, and then he will have to go back to the old system.

Hansi Flick will also likely have difficulty in putting together a good team even though he is a great coach.

It's just a matter of time at least Barcelona must stay focused on their financial problems, don't look at their rivals who have such good finances, but what Barcelona must do is keep thinking about how they can get out of their difficulties in getting good finances in recruiting players and selling players, so that the incoming finances are used as well as possible, don't think about keeping up with their rivals because that will hinder everything from any aspect, if Hansi Flick is indeed a good coach then prove it by building a squad as is even though it is very difficult but it can be proof to Barcelona fans that being a solid team does not require a lot of money, if it is not balanced with a clear mindset.

[rendravolt]

Tomorrow the second match of the league has started again and the clubs that will play include:
Celta de Vigo vs Valencia
Sevilla vs Villareal
Osasuna vs Mallorca
With the odds below


Big clubs like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid have not appeared so I will avoid betting on tomorrow's match because I think these clubs are quite difficult to predict. Villareal and Mallorca last week drew against top clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so they might make it difficult for Sevilla and Osasuna in the match.

Actually, some of these matches are just as difficult to predict as other elite team matches. Just look at the odds, they are not much different and can almost be said to be balanced. But one thing is for sure, there will be one winner in this match and it could be one of the teams that we don't favor. On the other hand, a draw is still strong here so it is quite impossible to take risks even if you get tempting odds.

One thing is for sure, we have to minimize the risk with other options such as handicap bets with a 0.25 or 0.5 advantage and even though the odds we get decrease, at least we are still on the safe path to winning the bet. Well, if without betting I would favor Valencia, Villarreal, and Osasuna who will collect 3 points.

If Barcelona still have ambitions to sign Nico Williams, then we will see another surprise transfer, Barcelona will certainly have to let go of more players to make it happen.

Bad news for Barcelona after releasing mutual contract for Ikay Gundogan and have return back to Manchester City with free transfer to make Barcelona's financial better and has opportunity registering their new players Dani Olmo.
Actually Ikay Gundogan have two years contract left with Barcelona but both side have reach agreement for mutual contract and Ikay Gundogan will not get his two season salary and become free agent players.

Barcelona haven't many option due high salary receiving by Ikay Gundogan and not ability cut off his salary around 50%, after Gundogan joining Manchester City has opportunity for Dani Olmo get registering without break financial fair play regulation but recently Barcelona still not announce yet about squad list for second La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao in this weekend. Any opportunity for Dani Olmo make his debut for Barcelona on this week or he must waiting more longer until Barcelona get stable or balance financial condition.

Barcelona is currently in a very difficult situation due to the effects of financial problems that have befallen them, Laporta should have thought twice before they recruited Dani Olmo before because when they fixed one hole in the squad then now another new hole is starting to appear in the squad, what is happening to Barcelona at this time actually reminds me again with the reason that Xavi was fired and isn't that a reality that is actually unnecessary covered by Laporta by saying that their finances are fine at the moment?
The problems that befall Barcelona at this time will continue if there is indeed no right solution they find in the near future and not just with releasing players or cutting player salaries, Gundogan move is expected to make Barcelona can be register Dani Olmo to the squad but reportedly currently the existing salary limit is still not enough to register new players,so that not only Gundogan will be released but several other players may also be sell or release.

Like it or not everything is over between Gundogan and Barcelona so there is nothing to regret anymore Barcelona's decision will not change and will focus on the future to make Olmo a replacement figure. Although I am not sure because Gundogan is above anyone with all Barcelona players both in terms of record, statistics and leadership. Everyone should understand Burgerlona well  , what we consider good for them can be bad and vice versa. Please understand this club always goes in the opposite direction even with its fans. In my country Barcelona fans have quite a big influence but the more I pay attention it seems they are also upset with all Barcelona's decisions about releasing Gundogan.
So the point is to let Laporta cook

[X-ray]

I totally agree with you. This was one of the reasons why Real Madrid's overall performance was not stable. Players failed to select their position correctly. Talented players like Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham cannot play in their own positions. So Ancelotti's match strategy works properly in this match.

Real Madrid players have not failed to select their positions. They were only trying oversaturation on one side. That's why you saw that it seemed all of Real Madrid's forwards were moving to the left side. But it is a very important lesson for us to consider having a pure RW in our squad.

We could force LW to play as RW, but I'm not feeling sure they're always feeling confident to leave from their actual position.

Madrid's main problem now is Mbappe. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a fantastic player, but I'm still saying this. Mbappe is a bit monotonous. And because of this he is not able to adjust himself well with the squad players. Also Vini and Mbappe have played in the same position in the past. So the players are having some problem to adapt to the new position. But since Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. Very soon maybe he will solve this problem. And we'll see stronger gameplay from Madrid next.

Mbappe's still relatively new in La Liga, and this probably makes him struggle to adapt to the harder league compared to Ligue 1. To be fair, Mbappe was fantastic in Ligue 1, but he is still unproven in the superior league like La Liga. I'll be glad if Mbappe has cr7's level of impact, but for now I can't see it from him!

I don't even think Mbappé will score more than 20 goals this season. This is because La liga is not league 1.

[Altryist]

Barcelona had financial problems even before Xavi arrived and all this time the team somehow exists and achieves good results. During Xavi's time Barcelona also lost Dembele, who went to PSG, and for the Barcelona attack at that time it was too tangible a loss. Now they have lost Gundogan, and also Felix who was also important for the attack, so under Flick nothing is happening that has not happened before. The difficulty is that Barcelona is losing very important players, but does nothing to ensure that their places are replaced by worthy replacements.

[rendravolt]

Breaking!

One of Real Madrid's stars, Jude Bellingham, is reported to have an injury and he will return after the international break in September. Real Madrid seems to have received a major blow, even though Ancelotti needs him to be in the main squad so that the adaptation built starting this season with Mbappe and other colleagues can run well.

However, before that happened, Real Madrid had already experienced a disaster that would disrupt their game to win matches every week. Yesterday's draw certainly did not restore the mentality of the players and now they have to be plagued by other sad news.

Then, who will fill Jude Bellingham's position temporarily? On the bench, there are already several names ready to replace him and maybe it's between Arda Guler or Brahim Diaz.

[bitLeap]

~~

Disappointment is a natural situation because our initial expectations of Madrid were very big by expecting Madrid to get 3 points in their first match at the start of this season but it will not affect much actually because we must realize that this is a match in the first match so there are still many opportunities to keep Madrid doing more in the next match, moreover there are still 37 weeks left to pass so we don't need to be disappointed too deeply just because of 1 draw match.

Madrid is still Madrid where they are still the favorites for this season in the race for the championship so the early matches will not have any effect because it is not necessary for a big team to get full points at the beginning although it is very good but when it can't happen then there is no need to force it and I am still quite sure that sooner or later Madrid will continue to develop and make the same position as the previous season.

Give Ancelotti time because it is not easy to neutralize the player's position. I would not be too quick to judge that Madrid will have a bad season, everything will go well and the process we can see. The result of the first match was not satisfactory but it is not the end of everything. Madrid have been through something like this in the past when creating Los Galacticos, not immediately showing a perfect game. It takes adjustment, training and understanding each other. Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham will be compact in time.

So the point is to let Laporta cook

It's Barcelona's decision to do whatever they please with their players, but before they do that, let them remember they have fans who are in full support of the team's performance and, in the same vein, interested in Barcelona's future.

A team like Barcelona can't have an existing problem at hand, instead of finding a lasting solution, they go ahead to create another problem, thinking a simple remedy can be a cure for the problem accumulated.

Barcelona team knows that their financial capacity is not good, they should seek financial help rather than let go of quality players for a single player who they don't know the future of the player would be like(good or bad). Barcelona can have with a gold at hand and be searching for silver, knowing how painful gold can be when lost.

The point is that, letting Gundogan go as free agent and bring in Dani Olmo doesn't solve the financial problem at hand.
