La Liga 24/25

[serghei]

I have a feeling Flick is gonna beat them in Bernabeu. They are pretty bad in midfield and concede loads of chances vs almost any opposition. Still dangerous in CL of course since almost all teams have an inferiority complex against them.

I remember years back how people, especially Real Madrid fans, would cry about Neymar doing some flicks and tricks as if he actively was hurting someone.

Now they have two players in Vinicius and Endrick who actively go out of their way to actually hurt other players with dirty fouls. Actually injure them.

It's beyond shameless.

You cannot buy class though.

Clasicos are hard to predict. We will have to want it more to take all points. As is the case for most of matches.

 

[Horatio]

Even when people claim clasicos are hard to predict: if we show up with pena real are favourites. If we show up with the second polaco we are favourites imo

Depends on what Pena does. If he fucks it up and gifts them some goals, obviously it's hard to beat them under these circumstances. Anyway, I don't see them beating Atletico away so the gap is gonna get bigger I think.

Well yeah, that too. Gk spot is crucial as few good or bad interventions can change the outcome.

 

[MontenegrinCuler]

We shouldn't take it easy in Clasico for sure. But shouldn't come in with too much respect or something. Play open football and be very agressive from the start. Maybe concede a few goals in the meanwhile, nothing scary if we bang them even more.

I definitely consider us to be favourites. But we can't know who wins it. We'll see

Remember supercup clasico with Pena on goal? They were spamming long shots as some predicted here and it worked.

We’ll be the better playing team I am confident of that. But an underperforming keeper can ruin everything in blink of a moment. A good keeper can save your hide when playing [+{^(usually real)

I am very confident we will be the better playing team. But keeper situation for me will be telling on the outcome.

If there's Pena in goal with acres of free space in front for Mbappe, Vinici us and Rodrygo to run into, it's bound to be ugly.

 

[fergus90]

I said Barca will thrash them and I stand by it.

I just do not think this Madrid side is well balanced or particularly well coached right now.

I fear bellingham and valverde shots from right outside the area

 

[malvolio]

Barcaforum god Thibaut Courtois dropped a clanger just last week. You never know who can have an off night.

They are probably gonna fix the balance issue in the summer, but to late for this La Liga season I think. Flick got this.
