Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 4232. (Read 531075 times)

I expect Barcelona to be different -more improved- in the coming 2021/2022 season, I hope they don't sell there young players, it was rumoured that Trincao is close to leaving to Leicester, I think Barcelona would be exciting even in the UEFA champions league, hopefully Ansu fati would avoid injuries and showcase himself, I still envision Messi going further in his season as a Barcelona player, in a summary Barcelona would be a bang.

Atletico can really make it to the championship now. They have no other important tournaments to think about and focus on. I can say confidently that they will try their best to win the title as this could be one of their biggest chances to do it.

They know that they are under threat of Barcelona (especially) and Real Madrid. I expect a solid performance from Atletico against Sevilla because of that.

This could be a crucial game. It's vitally important for Atletico that they win this difficult match. If they lose, then Barca could be within a single point of them... and Barca still have to play Atletico, so if they can get within three points and then beat Atletico when they play them, then Barca can be champions. Atletico absolutely need to maintain that gap at a clear four points.

But I do think that Atletico can do it. There's a reason they are top of the table. Barca may have hit form recently, but Atletico are still a difficult team to take points from.

With the new President that has a good relationship with Messi, Laporta, Barcelona have a second chance to keep Messi in Camp Nou. Messi tends to stay in the club after one chaotic season. He want to have some good transfer to increase the competitiveness of the club for title competitions. It is reasonable as he stated in the interview after burofax drama that he want play at top level and win titles.

Some other conditions are
- A clear and solid plan to build up the club with young players from La Massia as Ansu Fati, Puig, etc.
- An improvement of freedom for Koeman. Sounds like Messi loves the coach and supports what Koeman does in Barcelona in this season.

Let's see how Barcelona can come back in the season 2021 - 2022. Especially in Champions League.

Hey, will Haaland join Barcelona? Is it simply an April Fool?

You don't need to say this. It likely you underestimate Barcelona without Messi. Are you a Messi fan or a Barca fan?
There will be another player to be the successor of number 10 if Messi leaves Barcelona. And I am sure he will be as good as Messi in the future if Barcelona has more chances.

I can agree with this. Sure, it is the fact. Messi is the iconic player in Barcelona. As he is one of the best players in the world and even in the history of football, his presence in the club will be profitable, especially if we consider partnerships and Merchandise.

Real Madrid  -  Eibar
Sevilla  -  Atletico Madrid
Barcelona  -  Real Valladolid
Real Sociedad  -  Athletic Bilbao

I expect the matches to end like this.

I think Real Madrid will continue their win streak. Eibar have been too bad and their chance is very low here.
Atletico have a really tough match against Sevilla. They need to play with everything they've got to get a win. It will be a close match but Atletico will win by 1 goal at the end, in my opinion.
Barcelona got an awesome win in their last match and they will be very focused on this too for sure. Valladolid have no chance against them.
After getting a huge loss against Barcelona, R. Sociedad really need an immediate win. A. Bilbao are a tough opponent but I believe R. Sociedad will manage to be the winner with a 1 or 2-goal difference.

As clubside competition resumes after the international break; i think Atletico Madrid has the lot to do. Atletico Madrid face Sevilla away from home in a must win tie to remain at the top of the helm in La liga this weekend; with players just returning from travels, can Atletico get a win ? What are your predictions this weekend?

Real Madrid ? - ? Eibar
Sevilla ? - ? Atletico Madrid
Barcelona ? - ? Real Valladolid
Real Sociedad ? - ? Athletic Bilbao

A busy schedule awaits Real Madrid, in 15 days they will do 4 matches and 3 of them are decisive and prestigious matches. UCL first leg against Liverpol then there is El Clasico and UCL second leg match. It seems that Madrid have to fight hard. Barca and Madrid still have the same chance of winning the League. I hope that Elclasico Madrid wins, they will appear at home, besides that they can also be closer to Atletico points. Apart from that, I also hope that in the last few matches Atletico have been less fortunate and have lost a lot of points.

Bad news for Real Madrid without Sergio Ramos but still have Nacho as partner for Varane, but this week Real Madrid have most important match not only on La Liga with el clasico faced Barcelona but in champion league for first leg Real Madrid faced with Liverpool, both match very important and have playing with full team because La Liga Madrid left 5 points from Atletico Madrid.

Ramos gets injured again just barely after getting recovered from the last.
Whatever the position of the administration towards your person, you must respect your team no matter what happens because you are bound by a contract and this contract until its expiry makes you advance the interest of your team over any other interest because the ABCs of the laws of the ball say that, but Ramos did the opposite. Kroos, when he felt some pain, decided to leave the German national team camp in order to fully recover and be ready for the Liverpool match, and this is the mentality of the player who respects his club above all, but Ramos, returning from a recent injury and who still cannot play as a starting point, decided to play in yesterday's match against Kosovo only. To break numbers, as Enrique says, without taking into account his physical condition, and here is the difference between the way both players behave.
Ramos will be absent for nearly a month from the stadiums, which means that he will miss Liverpool and the El Clasico match, which is the most important week for Real Madrid in the season and which will determine which titles the team will compete with.
Personal greed overcomes the love of the club, the club that deserves a captain like him in a very sensitive stage . Unfortunately, I was and still wished to renew Ramos, but Perez would double the number of the audience at his side after everyone was in the side of Ramos. This opportunity will be used to let Ramos go without receiving much criticism from the lovers or he will drag him to the network of renewing the contract with the same proposed salary.
This might be the end of the journey, a tearful end.

Don't forget that Messi was forced to stay in Barcelona. The fact that he loves this club is only in theory. I think deep down he has enough of this climate. Of course, the fans respect him, but it would be fulfilled in Man City only

Barcelona currently depends on Messi more than Messi does on Barcelona. Despite his high salary, Messi is also generating a lot of income for the club. And the loss of Messi could further aggravate the financial situation of Barcelona. Laporta will therefore do everything to persuade Messi to stay.

Joan Laporta as new president will try many how to keep Messi stay on Barcelona but inside Messi as the key player for Barcelona maybe they should think how Much Messi salary become the way can Barcelona make Messi keep staying in Camp Nou? Barcelona get financial crisis right now and they have to pay much money for many club.

This time, I agree with. 
Messi seems not really serious to leave Barcelona. Maybe it is only a rumor that he wants to go Man City. Moreover, he is not a typical player who wants a new challenge in his career. He is not the same as CR7, Ibra, or other players who try playing on other teams before they retired as professional football players.

What do you mean?
Are you trying to tell us that Messi is the king of Barcelona?
So, even Barcelona has a president club, Messi can decide everything he wants because he is the king, right?
Wow, I am a bit surprised by this fact.

The team need to prove Messi that they really want to get the Champions League title also. And they can show it by bringing more qualified players to the team. You can't expect Messi to be eager for continuing to play and fight for the title with a lineup like this. If they strengthen the lineup, I don't see any reason for Messi to leave.

Otherwise, it will be better for him to leave Barcelona for much more powerful team.

Yes, Messi is a key player and I'm just not sure Messi will leave at his current age because a top class team would have preferred an easier player but yes. Messi is a star and age doesn't seem to matter, with his star title being like a magnet for any team to want to have. But it looks like Messi will dedicate him to Barcelona and I think that is an option or something that is more appropriate for his decision, considering Messi is big at Barcelona.

I think it is not going to be that hard for them to keep Messi this time. Last time Barcelona had a president who paid other people to bash him on social media, it is obvious that he wasn't really liked by the players. How could you keep playing on a team when president of that team pays people to say bad things about you? That would be impossible to ask someone to do.

However currently there is no love lost between the management and Messi after the change, new president likes Messi and supports him and basically gives him the key to the kingdom, so I think he will stay. If it was the last president we wouldn't have Barcelona fighting for a title and we would definitely see him leave as well, but with the current situation I believe he is going to stay and he will not leave anywhere anytime soon neither, it is going to obviously be much better.

Messi will not go anywhere. He will be offered a new contract, they will invite a couple of players whom he wants and that's all. In Barcelona he is the best king. He will be one of many in another club. Why change the situation at the end of his career? So there is no need for Barcelona fans to worry.

There he goes to leave Barcelona and I think his career is still brilliant if this is still maintained I think this conflict will definitely happen again and affect the team with its own bad, I know Barcelona is still a big team candidate with Messi but after leaving I admire the greatness in the field later.
Messi's decision is still on the verge of confusion because there have been many rumors about Messi's departure but in the end it wasn't but I don't know how this transfer season will happen, have the intention been made up?

Ibrahimovic joined the discussion
Messi at this age is a key player, consistent ++ and playing better than young ones in the team. With the current switch in Barca and with a good contract everything should be fine. City seems to be more interested in Haaland which makes things harder. Additionally, Barca is getting closer to the title, their next game is vs Valladolid while ATM might drop points vs Sevilla.. Things will be more clear by the last 2-3 games tho.
