Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 3007. (Read 551111 times)

Starting from the era of Ronaldo and Messi the La Liga has never been as competitive as the English Premier League and neither has there been plenty clubs competing for the title. It has always been Real Madrid and Barcelona and sometimes Atletico Madrid and the likes of Sevilla who will also will be at 5th or 6th position. I have never seen a big upset where an underdog takes them by surprise just like what happened in England with Liecester City.

There is still hope for Barcelona this season to win the title especially if they can maintain their good form. However I never would have thought Real Madrid would allow Barcelona's unstoppable run especially as we still have El Clasico ahead. There are many opportunities to take the top of the standings from Barcelona, ​​but I really won't underestimate even the slightest chance for Barcelona this season.

Barcelona has some important matches after the World Cup which are Espanyol and Atletico Madrid between December and early January 2022. I expect these two match to be a problem for them especially in terms of maintaining their form. So it will be more important to think about it than thinking about the European League playoffs in February.

Maybe it can happen, but I think there are always fans in every competition of one of the countries of the world. Messi and Ronaldo used to be an attraction, there was always drama in every season.
At this time, the arrival of Lewandowski, and several other players certainly gave a different kind of appeal. So I think La Liga will stay alive with the players that are there. That problem of dominance also occurred in Germany and some other countries. But their League is still running and entertaining some of its fans.

By failing in the Champions League I think there is still a chance to hunt for the title especially LaLiga which is currently the standings while there is still hope to defend in LaLiga and in the European League, Barcelona are not as bad as last season and now their squad has grown in the hands of Xavi who is able to rebalance with some young and great players on board this will be a long term project for Xavi.

It can be said that Manchester United and Barcelona for the current season are a little different and maybe you can see from the statistics that Barcelona is much better in their respective leagues, although we don't know the results of the Playoff match between Manchester United v Barcelona, this is not easy, but this challenge must be overcome skip if you want to achieve a good result for Xavi.

I don't want to underestimate Barcelona this season despite their failure in the Champions League. The same thing can happen to other teams when they are in a group with top teams from other top leagues, but unfortunately Barcelona have to have bad luck.

Barcelona's challenge in the Europa League is to win the playoff against Manchester United. I know it's difficult, but I think Barcelona have something good to hope for against Manchester United. Meanwhile, Barcelona are still very great in Laliga with their best performances in defense and attack.

If Barcelona want to do well in La Liga, they need to make changes to their first defense line-up. Because one of the problems of the Barcelona team is the defense, that is, the defense is not always able to stop the attack of the opposing team. When Barcelona get some great defense their team will be full strength.

Barcelona wall have a great chance to win La Liga. But for that they have to work hard so that they can be capable of defeating Real Madrid. Because their only major opponent in La-Liga is Real Madrid. If they are able to beat Real Madrid, I think Barcelona will have a chance to win the La Liga title.

There are several titles still available for Barcelona so far including Laliga, Copa Del Rey and Europa League. I don't know what title they can win later because what is certain is that the competition will be very tight. Currently in Laliga Barcelona has managed to lead the standings with a 2 point advantage over Real Madrid, but all is not over.

At the end of December, Barcelona will face Espanyol. This is a derby match where the outcome of the match will be difficult to predict. But considering that the performance of Barcelona's players so far has been really good, then maybe home win can be expected.

They still have enough time to rest for at least 11-12 days because even Atletico themselves will just play on the 30th after the match between Girona vs Rayo Vallecano. Also, not all players from the club played for their national team until the final match, although there were still several players who played in the final World Cup but only a few players and not many.
Thus, they will still be fine, unless at one club all the players play in the final match at this World Cup and only have, for example, two days of rest, then obviously it will be problematic.

But what happened for matches in La Liga, at least they will still get a better recovery and obviously that's not a problem. Because basically they are used to getting a tighter schedule like only having 3-4 days of rest but at this moment they have 11-12 days of rest and it will still be good for them.
But regarding the opening match between Girona v Rayo Vallecano and even though Rayo Vallecano is above Girona by 6 points, I'm sure it will still be a difficult match for Rayo Vallecano. Because Girona itself at this moment is not a team that is so weak, they also still have a pretty good record in home and away matches.

Actually I want to say something a little harsh about him wanting trophies because this is the thing that has to be done because if he can't then his future will be threatened at Barcelona if he can't bring one trophy.
He has gambled this season by pouring out a lot of money on player transfers so it is certain that the payment is a trophy at least one trophy or even more and when he fails then this will not be much different from the Koeman era because he will also be branded as a coach fail.

Yes, it's true, it's certain that Barcelona misses a trophy this season to be able to bring it with them. With more careful preparation, they should be able to do that. IN the last transfer window, Xavi has spent a large budget to recruit several players, Xavi Hernandez did not even try to take advantage by selling several players. And even in the transfer market, they are reportedly preparing to hunt for players again. If everything that is issued by them does not bring an achievement, of course it will be disappointing for Barcelona as a whole.

It's no secret that Barcelona really wants a trophy this season, Xavi will try to do his best for Barcelona, last season's failure can be used as a lesson to achieve success this season. The focus on the two competitions can still be done as long as the players owned by Barcelona are always fit, Barcelona also has reserve players who are no less good than the core players.

La Liga is less competitive this season due to the declining performance of Atletico and Sevilla, Barcelona still has the chance to secure the La Liga trophy as long as it is able to maintain its position at the top of the standings. While the Europa League, which is inhabited by many big teams, is a little more challenging, Xavi must not allow the slightest mistake, such as changing strategies or rotating players without reason so that the club's goals can be achieved.

Don't forget, Barcelona is not the only team that is fit for the race. Before Xavi will make a head way in the Europa League, he has to defeat Ten Hag in the knock-out stage, which will be the first test of supremacy.

As for the Laliga title, they are already at the top of the league, and it will only require their consistency in winning their games to secure the top position. Xavi doesn't have the mental ability to pursue both titles, he rather focuses on one and get it. We saw How he fumbled in the UEFA group stage this season and Last season, losing to Frankfurt in the Europa League while securing the second position in the table last season.

With the tight schedule of matches they will play, Xavi Hernandez must also be good at rotating players. That is an important thing that must be anticipated by every coach because with such a busy schedule it is possible for the players to experience something unexpected, such as an injury for example. Fatigue will also be a factor where they must be rested. Xavi must really realize this in order to keep his team in a stable state.

barcelona has improved a lot since xavi took charge of the team, there is no doubt about that, but we have to see that this barcelona team does not have the conditions to fight to win the la liga and the europe league at the same time, they will have to prioritize something and leave the other thing aside, of course leaving it aside does not mean not playing, but they will have to put less important players when they are league games that they are not prioritizing, I say that for the following reason: barcelona depends on the lewandowski, so barcelona has games in the league, then in the champions league, knowing that in the league they are at the top and can be champions, so xavi will not risk putting lewandowski in the europe league game knowing that if he put lewandoski in the europe league game and if he is injured then barcelona could lose points in la liga, and in the europe league there are many other strong teams that do not guarantee anything that barcelona can be champion, it is much easier for barcelona being champion of la liga than the europa league, so prioritizing la liga is the most sensible thing to do


la liga still remains a very competitive league, when barcelona or real madrid play against any la liga team, nothing guarantees that real madrid and barcelona will not lose in the game against any la liga team, myself whenever I watch real madrid or barcelona play against any other team in la liga, I am not fooled by the low odds in favor of these two great teams, because I know that there are 50% of these two teams losing against other teams, that is the wonder da la liga, now if we make a comparison between these two big teams and the other teams in terms of winning the la liga then we will see a stark difference between these two big teams and the small teams, the small teams have no chance of winning the la liga turns on

Overall, don't just focus on how prestigious the trophy will be won, but we have to look at other factors besides that. For example, Xavi is now required to present a trophy to Barcelona, and he will pursue and make it happen even though many here say the Europa League is not more important than the La Liga trophy. But for a team it will be very valuable, especially if they didn't get a trophy in the previous season. And also there is no guarantee they will become champions in La Liga.

Barcelona has two hopes of getting the Trophy this season. but their chances in the Europa league are more difficult when compared to Laliga. Several teams will be waiting for Barcelona in each round where Manchester United will be the next opponent. Xavi does have a pretty good rally with Barcelona this season but one thing left him speechless when Barcelona had to be eliminated from the champions league this season. Barcelona needs time to strengthen the squad to get a trophy this season. It is possible that the transfer window will be excited again with the reshuffle that has occurred in the Barcelona transfer window.

the laliga competition is not as interesting as it used to be when I saw it because only 2 teams looked strong compared to the other teams. if it goes on like this I think that there will be less and less fans or spectators in the Laliga and will be more inclined to watch the EPL.

He's actually right - the Europa League title is nothing compared to the La Liga title. The fact that the Europa League title gives a direct ticket to the Champions League does not matter, as it will be difficult for Barcelona to fall below 4th place in the championship. I'm sure Barcelona's top priority is La Liga and the Europa League is just a potential bonus. Even for Real Madrid, it seems to me the main thing is to win La Liga and a good performance in the Champions League is a bonus.

They have chances to win La Liga and Europa League but I guess they are targeting at La Liga, more than Europa League title. With their current standing (1st position) and good performance, they will not lose a position in top four La Liga. Though they are one of best competitors for La Liga and Europa League, they will have very big challenge to win any of these titles.

In La Liga, Real Madrid will not give La Liga up easily. In Europa League, many big clubs play there including big clubs that failed in Champions League. This make this Europa League season is more competitive than usual.

Xavi is under big pressure to win titles for Barcelona but I disagree with this pressure and expectation. Xavi and Barcelona need more time to build up a stronger and more stable squad which is necessary to win titles. It is unfair for Xavi if he will be fired by not winning any title with Barcelona in this season.

That is a very important thing for Xavi to achieve this season, because Xavi just needs to apply every skill that the team has in a more consistent manner. Because implementing a focus on two competitions to get two titles this season is not easy, Xavi must be able to make Barcelona fight for it this season so that his name becomes a result of this achievement.

Let's see after the world cup is over, will Barcelona still be able to compete with the teams in La Liga and also in the European League. Because the team that entered the Europa League this season is also a team that is not weak.
