La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rahmad2nd]

Xavi left in disappointment and Flick came with a squad that at least Xavi had built quite well despite the club's financial constraints. Now what Flick is doing is perfecting the legacy of the previous coach in a fairly satisfying way. I admit that Barcelona in Flick hands is inseparable from Xavi intervention in the past. Barcelona players are very mature even though they are still young but can adapt very quickly to the new coach. That is their advantage in the midst of financial shortcomings, there is always something that differentiates them from clubs whose finances are stable but whose players cannot be more mature and independent.

A very key fact here is that xavi did mad a solid foundation already before he left so most other coaches who may come after him wouldn't have a very tedious job to do expect they jeopardize the foundation instead of consolidating upon it, then they will get Barcelona to another messy state to do a scratch start all over but then Flick doesn't seem to be in that path, he's rather consolidating well upon that which he's leveraging some advantage and has propelled Barcelona to an obvious commendable strat for the season. The reason I will strongly say it's all on xavis foundation is because the financial mess isn't totally cleaned up and improvements are visible and ofcourse that was what xavi did almost all through his stay, if flick where to be there initially, probably it wouldn't have been this easy but then what matters the most is in the progress they are making already so far.

To be honest, I would say between agree and disagree. The reason is, I think that Xavi aims to repeat Barcelona's playing style like the Pep Guardiola era. Even with his style and characteristics, unfortunately Xavi failed to further improve Barcelona in the following season. Well, apart from the fact that he had difficulty recruiting the players he wanted. IMO, Barcelona actually has a foundation with their philosophy. Every coach who handles Barca, only continues it. Including Hansi Flick who carries the same philosophy but with a different packaging. Xavi's era is over with Barcelona, ​​as a supporter I still appreciate him, especially since he presented one La Liga trophy. In the Flick era, he had stated to several media that he would implement Pep Guardiola's style. But that doesn't mean he will imitate Pep's characteristics, because Flick is a coach who has many tactics and experience. I remember Flick's statement before La Liga started, he said that it would be a challenge for him to bring Barcelona to be much better. Even though the progress was quite good in four matches in La Liga, he was still not satisfied to further improve the performance of the squad he coached. Well, now we have a coach who at least gives us hope that Barcelona will be better.

Andriy Lunin signs new Real Madrid contract extension until 2028


Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has signed a new three-year contract with the club.
The Athletic previously reported that the Ukraine international, who had one year left on his contract, was expected to stay at the club during the summer transfer window and was close to agreeing a new deal.

He has now signed a new contract with Madrid that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2028.
Madrid and Lunin reached a verbal agreement over a new deal before the end of last season.

However, the 25-year-old had doubts about extending his stay at the Spanish club due to Courtois’ importance and the lack of playing time he might receive as a result.

Lunin joined Madrid from FC Zorya Luhansk in 2018 with a contract until 2024. In 2019, he renewed until 2025 — although the deal was not officially announced by the club.

I still think he has made the right decision. Because Courtois is 32. So there is a chance that Real Madrid is going to give Lunin a little more playing time in the recent future. And if the main goalkeeper Courtois gets injured, there are going to be a lot of chances for Lunin to show his skill. But again, that’s the catch. He has to wait for the main goalkeeper to be injured for himself to get some good amount of play time or if he does end up leaving, he is not going to find another club like Real Madrid. And even if he does he’s not going to be the striker in that club anyway. So it is better to stay with Real Madrid in my opinion.

There are 2 positive news for the Catalan club this week



1.
Where Gavi presence in the training session is something that Barcelona fans have been waiting for. Considering that he has been absent for quite a long time, it is hoped that he can fully recover and return to strengthen the team. Not only Gavi who was present, Ansu Fati also took part in the training. I think Hansi Flick must continue to monitor the condition of these 2 players and it is estimated that the match against Girona could be a suitable match for Gavi to start back. and

2. Regarding Barcelona financial situation, according to ESPN that Barcelona spending limit has increased and is estimated at €222 million, the core of this situation is that Barcelona can recruit players freely. As we know, Barcelona has experienced restrictions for several seasons due to exceeding the maximum limit starting from salaries, bonuses, etc.

In the 4 matches that have been played by both teams, Barcelona is clearly quite superior because they were able to end the match by winning. While Real Madrid got perfect results because they have not lost but the draw in two matches made their performance less than optimal at the beginning of this season. Of course, these two teams will continue to compete tightly this season because the two teams are always favored to be champions. I am amazed by the Barcelona coach because he can show his expertise in bringing progress to the team.

This means that Real Madrid did not get perfect results in these 4 matches, but it was an unsatisfactory result.  Getting 8 points from 4 matches is not the result most expected by Real Madrid and its fans, of course because of the depth of their squad and the quality of their play. If this benchmark is used, then Real Madrid should be better than Barcelona, ​​but in fact it is not.

Even so, I am quite sure that there will be mistakes that they will make this season that could result in losing points. Maybe to see how strong they are, of course we have to see these teams face each other this season, the El Clasico match is always an assessment of how strong they are in maintaining their good performance. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid is also able to maintain its best quality, well, a major overhaul was carried out by Atletico Madrid in the transfer market and we want to see them able to provide interesting competition this season.

Barcelona and Real Madrid and every other team will lose as the season progresses. Not necessarily in a match that is considered tough against a strong team, sometimes even a weak team can beat you with its defensive strategy. Teams like that only need 1 goal before they defensive completely until the end of the match, so it will make teams that are considered strong experience frustration throughout the match.

Barcelona's improved performance at the start of this season raises good hopes for expecting a tight title competition. The El Clasico match will be highly anticipated, of course because both teams can compete without bias like last season. However, Barcelona has many young players who can actually make them lose their good performance at any time.

I saw some people comparing Vinicius Junior to other great Brazilian players or legends such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Neymar. Honestly this comparison style doesn't make sense at all.

Vinicius Junior still has a lot of work to do to reach those players' level. Are you just kidding?    I'm not even talking about Ronaldinho - Ronaldo duo. They were just insanely good. And Neymar, I believe he is much more talented than Vini.

Vini should adapt to playing coherently with Mbappe first. If both of them play selfish then Vini can't also improve his game more. But if he continues to gradually improve, I believe one day he can also be among the best players.

Vinicius is a good striker, but his formation took place in Real, when he came to this team he was not famous, but he was able to achieve a high status in Real. In games for the national team, he does not show anything impressive, but in fairness it should be said that the Brazilian national team is currently experiencing a decline, so it seems that he is worse than those players you wrote about. Vinicius is talented in his own way and is very important for Real, I think that his value is precisely in this, he may not have unique dribbling, but he definitely has a sense of goal.

He has a very high positioning ability. Vinicius knows how to be in the right place at the right time. He is one of the important names for Real Madrid. In fact, I can say that he was the most important player of the team before Mbappé came. He is one of the two players that I expect to carry the team with Mbappé right now. He is one of Ancelotti's most valuable weapons in the attacking line. It is not his problem that he does not play successful matches with the Brazilian national team. If he is very good at Real Madrid but plays at an average level in the national match, I think this shows that the national team manager is not good. Ancelotti knows how to use him.

Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

I think it's clear that the yare going to get better if they keep this up, so far they won all their games if I remember right and Girona shouldn't be any different, they have a chance to win that game too. I get that we are going to see something changing, I think we are going to see what could be done with what we have, and that should be something we can definitely work with, that's the most important part.

The Miraculous Return of Bellingham, Militao, and Tchouaméni

Éder Militao, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham rejoined group training after recovering from their respective injuries, and they are pushing to be ready for the return of LaLiga. Real Madrid will visit Real Sociedad this Saturday in San Sebastián. For this match, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Dani Ceballos are confirmed to be out due to injury.

The Santiago Bernabéu is the World's Best Stadium of 2024

Along with the return of the last international players —Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and Brazilian forwards Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick— Carlo Ancelotti received the good news of the return of three key players from his starting eleven.

Militao, who could not play with Brazil due to a muscle overload in the rectus femoris of his right leg, might be available to reinforce a defense in which only Antonio Rüdiger is at 100%. Rüdiger even declined the call-up from the German national team to focus on his club.

very soon Real Madrid will start bringing what we are expected to see with them, I know we felt so disappointed with the way they are playing, doesn't mean they will under perform if this players went for all season?

[bitgolden]

Girona isn't as bad as people think they are, not that they are great but they are not terrible neither. We should realize that we are talking about a team that can do fine, it is not really that crazy for them to do fine.
It's clear that we are going to see Girona finish in top six at worst case, I am not expecting fourth place easily this time, but there aren't really six better teams than them. Of course something could go wrong, have some injuries, some bad streak and so forth which could make them worse, but if I have to rank them by talent then I would say top six for Girona right now for club value.

In the end, football is played on the field and not on paper, no matter how teams look, we need to decide on the field and how they play. If they do fine then we are going to see something changing, lets see how they improve and how they could have something that would be very cool. I know that it is going to be tough, but we can make that work somehow.

[Antotena]

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well.

Girona is looks average but too early to speak on that, they don't look sharp like last season. In fact it's Barcelona that is doing what they did last season while Girona has taken the place of Barlona last season and it makes make wonder how long Barcelona will go without losing a match in this season. However, we shouldn't underestimate Girona, even though they don't look sharp they have only loss one game and draw one, it's possible they can still pull some things possibly.

I also observed that all the team Barcelona has featured and played their match, none of them are sitting above 5th place in the standing, Girona will be the 5th team in the Laliga to be played against. So, it's wouldn't be accurate if we think Barcelona has arrived until they played other top teams like them, that's when we can consider them as team that will go hire most especially the El clasico with Real Madrid.

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

The possibility of Barcelona winning over Girona is on the high side because Barcelona have significantly improved their performance since the beginning of this season whereas Girona have underperformed in their last few matches in this season. If it was last season like you mentioned above, one could debate this the more but with the way Girona have been performing poorly lately, it will be a bit difficult for them to match up with the Barcelona guys here.

I wish Girona could at least hold them to a draw but even that does not seem to be realistic since barca has improved significantly on their delivery this season. Making it increasingly difficult for the Girona side to win against them. I think it will be a thing of wonders to see Girona win against the Barcelona side in their challenge.

Real Madrid is the biggest and most successful club in the world and Kylian Mbappe is very much aware of that so you don't expect him to bring whatever sort of arrogance he was exhibiting in Paris Saint Germaine to the club. Real Madrid is bigger than any player in that current squad and can as well do without a any player in the current squad. Kylian Mbappe came to the club to win trophies and I'm very confident that he'll concentrate in giving his best to the club instead of trying to be worshipped and adored by the club management.

There's no doubt about it. I personally think the same as you, except that from the beginning many of us had doubts about Mbappé's arrival at Madrid because the player was a very arrogant person, but as everyone has said, that was because of the power that the sheikh gave him within the team and well, that was something that we saw and it was evident, so in this case things were different, but as we have already said, now he is in Madrid and Spain is not France and Madrid is Madrid, things change there, given this Mbappé has adapted very well and that ego that we thought we could see no longer exists.

and now:

I agree with you that Barcelona will defeat Girona easily because they aren't as strong as last season. With the current form of Barcelona, it is clear that Flick has improved the team performance and we saw it from their previous matches how they performed brilliantly.

Girona will finally be disappointed at themselves for making a wrong decision by selling their key players and still feel that they will be able to maintain their performance to be like last season. If Gitona does not find a way a improve their team, they will be finish in a poor position at the end of the season.

Vinicius Jnr’s game may not fit well into the game pattern of the Brazilian team and we can as well see the big decline from the performance of the team even in the Copa America that made Ronaldinho makes some bad comments about the performance of the team. It’s very clear that a players impact may not be felt everywhere but where they’re needed they try to give their best. The Brazilian team squad is different from that of the Real Madrid’s. You can’t get the same result in Real Madrid at Brazil. I am not even sad about how he plays or how he delivers for the team, what matters the most is that he’s given his best in the positions he’s been used in. I have great hope for the team and I hope other players can improve their performance in the pitch so that it can all consolidate and make them better when playing. As for Real Madrid’s squad, they don’t much problem and will do well in this season also with the squad they have now.

If Gitona does not find a way a improve their team, they will be finish in a poor position at the end of the season.

How do you guys measure this power of teams because I want to be fact check Barcelona hasn't lost any match which is cool but they have not play the top teams in the league and that means they need more time to figure it out and Girona has only loss 1 match and draw one, that's their difference from Barcelona and Barcelona will be their first tough team but it's their home, no way the will allow Barcelona to useless their home because I'm expecting to them to play defensive game.

I don't blame Girona for selling their to players, if they can't win the league and make good money the players they bought are investment which they can make money from and since many other teams saw how serious their players were doing, they set up funds and Girona accepted because I'm not sure if they are going to win more lailaga even though they signed new players, there are other teams that wouldn't give them chance.

Vinicius Jr got his recognition at Real Madrid no doubt about that but it will be very bad of any striker to come to Real Madrid and not become visible because this is a team with world class players that understands each other very well so they basically play to favour every one especially the strikers since they are the people that determines the outcome of a match in most cases because if a player can score they can win and the goal scoring of any team is mostly left in the hands of the Strikers. For Vinicius Jr, he has really developed very well at Real Madrid and his worth has also increased simultaneously but about the National team of Brazil, it is just a general challenge that the Brazilian team has been facing so it will really be difficult for any player to be visible in the team due to their instability. Vinicius Jr is an important player for Real Madrid now and that is what matters most to the club.

It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too.

I get that we are going to see something changing, I think we are going to see what could be done with what we have, and that should be something we can definitely work with, that's the most important part.

Yea, we all know that Barcelona performance is getting to the next level in which they have been performing well this season, and we all are expecting Barcelona to keep their performances moving so that they will not end up like last season, but still, I believe in you that Barcelona are performing better than Girona, but mind you, this is just the beginning of the season. Many things can happen in the future that we don’t know for now. It might be that Girona will later be stronger than Barcelona, we don’t know. 
 
So back to our discussion. Girona can still win the game, or the game might end in a draw. I know many will be asking because Girona has been working on themselves and this is a home game to them, so they will like to win the game to raise their point up or even draw the game, but all discussions will be finalised on 15th after the game.

[Alpha Marine]

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

Girona started the season slowly but they have begun to get back up a little. They drew their first game and lost the second, but they were able to comfortably win the last two games even tho the Sevilla game was that that easy for them.
Barcelona is going to face a very well-rested Girona team that had most of its first-team players in the club during the international break, plus they play at home. Last season Girona won them home and away.
Obviously, this season Barcelona has started in flying colours but if they're going to keep up that 100% form, they will need to put in a lot and pray more injuries do not happen.

What I'm certain of is that its going to be an interesting match because both teams are attacking-minded. I think there will be over 2.5 goals too. Or Barcelona to score 2 or more goals.

[Raflesia]

Vini should adapt to playing coherently with Mbappe first. If both of them play selfish then Vini can't also improve his game more. But if he continues to gradually improve, I believe one day he can also be among the best players.

He still has to develop himself to be even better. In the end, when it comes to potential, he is still very capable of being at the same level as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or other Brazilian legends but at the end of the day, with his current age, the emotions and sometimes annoying attitude that he always has on the pitch certainly needs to be slightly reduced by Vini because after all, his performance could be destroyed because of that.

Technically and potentially no one will doubt a player of Vini's caliber for now but in the end we must realize that there are still many things that Vini must improve. On the other hand, we don't need to compare her with previous legends because in the end this will only be a pressure for Vini to develop more so she just has to stay consistent with her performance in order to continue to be recognized as a great player in the future.

Exactly Girona didn't perform like last season, but they can do well against Barcelona this weekend, because with how they perform last season, they really do well against Barcelona, and now Barcelona are in good shape, and I am sure Girona will face difficulties to get a draw with them, but anything can happen in the game. Barcelona won't like to draw or lose in the match because they want to continue winning their games to stay at the top of the league table, and some of there players are back and the match will be very touch. and they still have ucl in the middle week, am just praying he should not affect the players, because how ucl pattern is now he will be very difficult if you didn't get better player in your clubs.

Girona's current condition is not okay especially after the loss of several core players such as Savio, Aleix Garcia and Dovbyk in midfield and Girona's attack line certainly makes the situation inversely proportional to before so when talking about Barcelona and Girona with matches at the beginning of this season that are slightly different in terms of fate of course we understand that Barcelona is the favorite.

Currently Flick is still maintaining their consistency at the beginning of the season so it is clear that Barcelona's conditions are still very favorable even though they play as home in the match later.

But indeed this also cannot be a benchmark because in the end after the international match the time for the players to regenerate readiness to play is clearly short when continued directly to the League so with this condition there could be some gaps or mistakes made by Barcelona that benefit Girona later.
