Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1167. (Read 555906 times)

Hmm, Athletic Bilbao's odds to finish in top four seem really tempting. Thank you for sharing it maybe I would give it a try. 

Yeah Atletico Madrid are very unbalanced in the La Liga recently while trying to play really big in the Champions League. I think the same about their chances there as well. This would really wear out the players in a quite tight schedule of course. There is even a game in which they will host Girona between the first and second legs of the Dortmund matchup. I really have serious doubts about their dealing with this kind of a fixture in a solid way. 

I also didn't expect Barcelona's performance to improve again and surprise everyone. The reason is, when La Liga first started, everyone knew that Barcelona was experiencing a financial crisis which had a negative impact on its performance and was also inconsistent in matches and always lost matches at that time. However, Barcelona was slowly able to recover from its downturn to improve its performance, so that in its last 5 matches it was able to produce 4 wins and 1 draw. In the last match against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona played very well and were able to take advantage of the opportunities that occurred in Atletico Madrid's goal so that Barcelona very easily scored 3 goals without replying until the match was over. With this victory, Barcelona can overtake Girona to occupy 2nd place in the standings, because Girona has suffered many defeats in several matches and Girona's performance seems to have decreased quite significantly compared to before.

In my opinion, Real Madrid will not be able to give their opponents a chance to win in the remaining matches. The reason is that they will definitely continue to maintain their victory so that they remain at the top of the standings so they can become La Liga champions this season. I don't think Barcelona will be able to focus on these two competitions, because the players they have are very limited to really be able to compete in these two competitions. This may just be my perception, because in an emergency situation like this it is very difficult for Barcelona to really focus on these two competitions. Hopefully Barcelona will continue to play consistently in these two competitions, even though they are in a rather difficult situation competing with their rivals.

Mbappe is definitely the biggest star around at the moment and when he joins Real Madrid La Liga would know a star has joined but i think La Liga is already popular enough after having the two greatest players play in the league and challenge themselves for many years. Madrid would be stronger than before and would challenge for almost every cup there is if not lift them and their squad would be difficult to face.

This rumor is very like to happen and it’s almost as if it has happened already because both teams are not denying it and from what is going on in both clubs it is obvious that Mbappe will definitely join Real Madrid this summer. This deal will not happen until the transfer market opens so until then rumors is all we will hear.

This move to Real Madrid is the best move for him if you would ask me but i think about his position when he gets to Madrid because he obviously enjoys playing as a left winger just as he does in PSG and France even though he sometimes play as a striker. Would he gets his favorite position as a left winger ahead of Vinicius or would he be used as a striker? I am still confused about that.

What is clear is that Xavi is at Barcelona in the wrong conditions. When Barcelona's financial situation was in ruins, Xavi came in and tried to improve it little by little. In my opinion, Barcelona should be grateful because in his first season Xavi presented the La Liga trophy in the midst of a bad financial situation. But this time Xavi couldn't hold back anymore when he didn't get full support. I also can't blame Barcelona officials because it is difficult for them to take other options when there is no adequate financial support. However, if you look at Barcelona's performance after Xavi's decision to leave it has improved a little, in terms of play it can still be promising. Moreover, at UCL the potential is quite large if they succeed in conquering PSG.

Bookmakers do not agree with you, see how clubs are ranked to get into the top 4:

Real and Barcelona - 1.01
Girona - 1.06
Atlético - 1.44
Athletic - 2.00

As you can see, only Atletico are in question, and Girona, despite their poor results, is rated well because they have more points.
As I already wrote, Atlético has a difficult situation because they need maximum results both in La Liga and in the Champions League. It is likely that they will fail somewhere (I’m not saying that they are favorites in the Champions League, but beating Dortmund and then PSG/Barcelona is quite possible).

The end of the season is still long, anyone can still change their mind and many people are hoping that Cavi will still train Barcelona for next season. I know it's quite difficult for Cavi because he can't buy the players he needs and also has to face his team experiencing bad financial problems which makes him thinking hard so that Barcelona can continue to perform well under his tutelage amidst its current conditions. The new coach may not necessarily be able to work like Cavi. In fact, it is feared that Barcelona will experience decline because they have to adapt to the new coach. I hope Cavi changes his decision to continue to save Barcelona, which is currently in a state of decline, however he was once part of Barcelona when he was still a successful Barcelona player.

Xavi had a very clear reason when he said he wanted to leave Barcelona, because he felt unappreciated when he was in this team. What he has done so far seems to be a mistake in Barcelona's eyes, because they want more than that. In fact, if we draw out the common thread, everything that Barcelona is currently experiencing is due to management errors in managing the club which resulted in them ending up in a very difficult situation because they had to experience financial problems which have not yet been resolved. I see Xavi is disappointed with this team.

If Barcelona wants to take over Real Madrid's position then they have to wipe out the remaining matches they have with a win and Real Madrid have to lose at least 3 matches, then Barcelona will be at the top of the standings. However, the problem is that REal Madrid will not just let their position be taken away, especially since they will still meet in the El Clasico match. If Real Madrid wins that match then Barcelona will be further away from Real Madrid, but if Barcelona wins then it will slightly open up their chances of catching Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's mentality will not be so weak as to make concessions to other clubs and here Barcelona will definitely not be able to catch up with the existing points difference. Real Madrid will fight hard without suffering serious defeats and even if they do lose, it won't be often. They must maintain a point difference from the teams below them and even though they are quite comfortable with freedom, remaining alert is an important part.

I think Barcelona will also not think about chasing Real Madrid and they know it will be very difficult this season so they just need to maintain their existing dominance to be able to finish in 2nd place. The reason is that it is not easy considering that Girona can also shift them back and one mistake from Barcelona could have fatal results and be an advantage for Girona. I agree that Barcelona will finish it next season and this season they must realize that it is too late.

Xavi is a good coach, but just some periods that he was faced with challenges on inconsistency, and decline in his team performance, he was criticize as an unexperienced coch and not competent enough to coach Barcelona. This made him feel bad and decided to leave the club which he made the announcement officially.

If Barcelona wants him to stay, then they need to make him happy and feel at home at all time, not only when he is victorious, and they say a lot of crap when he is facing hard time with his team. Now that he has put Barcelona back to a good form, and they have being consistent with their matches, they want him to stay. Forgetting all those crap that they said. If I was to be in Xavi shoes, I would leave the club.

Of course, that is quite a big difference in points because 8 winning points can only be achieved by winning 3 times and being superior, but Real Madrid must also not win in the existing match because if Real Madrid still easily wins then Barcelona will have difficulty catching up. , The La Liga competition also seems to be ending soon and I am not sure that Barcelona will take Real Madrid's position, Barcelona must accept its position in second place and must maintain it until it is finished and maybe it will be more active next season.

Xavi says that he is not appreciated, maybe he would like to stay with the players, but it is difficult to work in such an environment. I very much doubt that Xavi will remain in the team, if he announced it officially, he will do it. But I am also confident that he will not remain without a team for long, he showed himself very well in Barcelona, and if he gets into a team with good financial opportunities, he can achieve excellent results in any other team. He did a great job at Barcelona, considering the time he joined the team.

A difference of 8 points is quite a wide gap and it will be quite a difficult mission for Barcelona to accomplish because La Liga only has 9 matches remaining. Even if Real Madrid slipped in some of their matches, there is still no certainty that Barcelona will not face the same obstacles because in terms of performance Barcelona is no better than Real Madrid. I think what is more possible for Barcelona is to let go of La Liga and completely focus on the Champions League.

Seeing that Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title this season are very small because they are already far behind Real Madrid, it is appropriate for them to shift their focus to the Champions League stage.
Barceona in La Liga now only needs to maintain a little consistency to be able to finish in the top 4, and I think with the remaining games remaining this season they are quite safe.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is also the same, they will be quite comfortable at the top of the standings so they can also focus on the Champions League.

This season the competition in the race for the La Liga title is very unattractive because Real Madrid doesn't seem to have any pressure from any team in the race for the title because their rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have been very down this season.

Real Madrid will get stronger, could even take the top rank in the entire European league if Mbappe joins the team. What kind of attacking lineup Bellingham, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Mbappe will make for Real Madrid? Any opponent they play against will be afraid of them, the team is going to be excited to have a player of Mbappe's because they will achieve more together. Given that Mbappe has chosen to leave PSG, I hope to see him play for the team the next season.


Barcelona continued to struggle in most of their games even after Xavi said he would be leaving the team at the end of the season. Barcelona started to lose and draw some of their games at that period. Xavi claimed that it's tough to guide Barcelona. I wonder why he held back on saying that until this season, when he noticed that the team's play was declining. I didn't think he would leave the team at the end of the season. Perhaps he did it to help his players get better at what they do, because we have noticed some changes in their play after he made the decision to depart. Let's wait and see if he will leave for real at the end of the season.

PSG and Mbappe is a big scam to football, I mean how can a club have such good players including the man Mbappe and they couldn't reach the finals of the UCL? If this season comes to an end and Mbappe doesn't make a move to Madrid and he some how stays and renew his contract then he can't make it to the champions league Quarter finals ever again, I still feel he can't make it to the next round this very campaign.
No doubt, Mbappe is one of the best players you could ever think of but winning the champions league can happen unless he make a move and to me I don't even think Madrid can be the team to give him that trophy he desperately need, we see Madrid as the best in the champions league but I also think they can get knocked out soon that's if they don't improve their style of play.
Rumors or not many are waiting for the season to end so we can see where he's going to play for next season, Mbappe's news is becoming tiring and I must say, is like he's the god of speculation in the transfer market which is disturbing.

Real Madrid still occupy the top spot in La Liga and they are 8 points ahead of Barcelona. This season though we think Real Madrid have a good chance of winning the La Liga title. However, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have currently qualified for the Champions League and are focusing heavily on that. In particular, I don't think Barcelona will focus too much on La Liga this season, maybe they will focus more on the Champions League. Since Barcelona is more likely to win the Champions League with PSG, they are more focused on the Champions League right now. But a much more interesting game between Real Madrid and Manchester City will be in the Champions League, that's why Real Madrid is facing a tough time in the Champions League. However, it is very easy for Real Madrid to win La Liga at the moment because Barcelona will focus more on the Champions League at the moment. And if Barcelona don't compete with Real Madrid in La Liga then they are definitely leaning more towards Champions League and they will perform well in Champions League to win the title.

If Mbappe arrives in Madrid, of course Madrid will be stronger to be able to fight for many titles next season, their front line will be sharper if Mbappe becomes a striker in Madrid, but I still haven't read the latest news about him, is this still just a rumor or has it been confirmed? will move to Madrid next season, but if it is confirmed that he will move, it is certain that next season Madrid will be the strongest club, whether in the domestic league or in the UCL, which of course will be able to compete with the other strongest clubs.

So far, Mbappe has not been able to win the UCL title because he has not found the right team, especially with PSG, they will probably always find it difficult to win the UCL title because PSG always fails before reaching the final, even though this season they reached the quarter-finals, it seems it will be difficult to win. PSG advances to the next round when they face Barcelona, because Barcelona has a lot of experience in the UCL which might certainly make PSG work harder to qualify for the next round. If PSG fails to get to the next round, Mbappe deserves to get the best team like Madrid next season.

I think Xavi still wants to be at Barcelona and the players also still want Xavi to remain their coach, but there is another thing that made in this team. Not because he doesn't like it, but he has the best way to get something more appropriate. Actually, Barcelona's performance is not bad, but management always demands the best that they want to receive. Indeed, that is a normal thing, but they also have to be able to see and adapt to their current conditions.

I heard that Barcelona also seems to have the opportunity to keep Xavi for next season, but that is a rumor that I heard and the truth has not yet been confirmed. However, if that really happens, then Xavi must ask for something that can be included in the contract, so that he does not receive something that he experienced this season. I really understand if management puts pressure when Barcelona's performance is very bad, but that's not what happens, they always force what they want, even though logically it is difficult.

Barca's performance changed when coach Xavi announced his resignation after this season. Perhaps his students tried to save this story. I think that after Xavi's announcement, the club will go downhill even more. But things turned out differently than predicted. Currently, Barca is ranked 2nd in La Liga with 8 points less than rival Real Madrid. At the Champions League playground, Barca has also reached the quarterfinals and will face PSG. This is an excellent result compared to the current situation with them. If compared with Real Madrid in recent transfer seasons. Barca's achievements are so good. We shouldn't ask for better results than that. But if a miracle happens to Barca this season. We should praise coach Xavi's talent instead of some people criticizing him.

Mbappe didn't sound like he was leaving PSG to Madrid because of the inability of PSG to been able to win the champions league so if fortunately PSG gets to win the champions league this season I doubt if that will be enough reason for mabappe to stay back because PSG still wants him and would pay him some more if he wanted but that doesn't seem to be like the case with PSG a d mbappe.

If PSG wins the champions league it will only be a plus to his career adding to the fact that he's got a champions league at PSG and it will even be more of a glory to him in that he won the champions league before leaving the team so for mbappe, I think it's actually beyond the quest to win the champions league at PSG and so that will not be a good reason enough for him to stay back because he's decided to already move without conditions . Mbappe wants to probably grow his career and I think real Madrid isn't a bad place at all because there he's very likely to get all that he's desired in he's career so far so it isn't a bad idea for a place to further his career.

In Madrid he will aswell be having a whole lot of play time because he's position where he will be playing currently has got no one occupying it which he would be contending the position with so he's gat to play well although if he happens to be injured or have a reason not to play at any time there's a strategy with which they could make up for his absence, I think Madrid will be such a great deal in the career of mbappe.
