La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[₿itcoin]

Atlético Madrid last summer were the highest spenders in La Liga than any other team combined. And they failed to spend on all those promising kids but rather did on world class players. Even at that, they finished the season Trophy less. Definitely the new season won't be the same though the strong contenders for their league title are doing incredibly well and I doubt they will have the La liga title coming season.

Five La Liga teams will be featured in the Champions League next season, teams like ( Barcelona,Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Athletic Club and  Villarreal ). I strongly believe one of them will emerge in the final of the champions League. I wish LaLiga’s Board could look into the financial rules and match schedules because it is really affecting the teams. You see other leagues could easily outspend more than the biggest La Liga teams. They board should seat and deliberate on how to amend the rules in favour of the teams.

Despite using huge cash last summer, Atlético had to literally walk away without the trophy, so yeah, spending huge amounts cannot guarantee titles, lol 

La Liga has low-key built some solid reputation by being able to send five teams to the Champions League. But let's be real, there are still some major financial and scheduling issues, as you have mentioned, so La Liga has to get hella creative now and enforce some smarter rules, or the rival leagues will straight up be able to outgrow them.

So, tbh, some necessary changes are badly needed, or the high spending teams like Atlético may also get stuck in a fat struggle bus.

I see a good number of comments where Yamal's performance is been commended and Rashfords is been seen as not impressive and I understand where it is all coming from but we cannot place these two on an equal scale for a performance check and reason been that Rashford just joined the team and has not played upto 5 games with them meanwhile yamal has been there over a  season now so a lot of coping is still going on with Rashford let us slow down with expectations from him and allow some more time and see what he will be capable of by then.

You're right, and that's fans for you they appreciate players when they perform well and criticize them when they don't. I don't know why there is so much criticism of Marcus Rashford because he didn't perform well in just one game, he has played only a few games, and his performances were very impressive. He just joined the squad, so it won't be easy to get used to it as expected. However, I have a lot of faith in him because he is a brilliant player and his style of play fits Barcelona's. If the season starts, I'm sure he will make an important impact on the Barcelona front line.

Well what I understand is that every footballer must have their critics, people that would wait for you to fail so they'll criticise you that's exactly what's happening to Rashford but I believe he'll shock them cause he's a good footballer and immediately he blends into the team those who are criticising him currently would be forced to love him.

Every iconic player must face critics. My surprise is how people will expect a player who hasn't adapted to the style of play in a new team to outshine or over perform. Rashford is still learning the tactics at Barcelona and the moment he masters and adapt we will see the creativity in him. It always begins with a flop before any form of perfection can be achieved.

I love how Vini is doing everything to work together with Mbappé, and it is because when there is no teamwork, then there is no way that the club is going to function well, so this shows that teamwork is very important because one of the things that has affected the performance of some clubs is teamwork. There is no coordination at all, so there is a need for them to make things happen more than what is happening now, and Madrid needs to work on their coordination, and even at that, their defense is poor. And I love the fact that they are going to be doing Madrid. They have good players, look at Bellingham and Rodrygo. They are another group of players that will do excellently this coming season if they work together more, and there is a need for that for them to get results.

When the chemistry between all the players is perfect, Real Madrid will be truly difficult to beat. Unfortunately, I feel like this team didn't really develop perfect chemistry last season. Nevertheless, their attack remained strong. Vini and Mbappé began to put their egos aside from the middle of last season until the end. Unfortunately, another problem arose when several Real Madrid defenders were injured, causing the team to lose balance and develop weaknesses in defense.

We know that Real Madrid has been working hard in this transfer window to rebuild their squad, especially their defense. But we haven't seen the results yet, as Real Madrid hasn't even played a single preseason match. But the most important thing is that in the actual season, Real Madrid must demonstrate that they have truly addressed their weaknesses.

You're right the team was not in a right shape because the team did not have the right chemistry so there was a problem of gelling and it affected the entire teams performance and hopefully this season I expect Alonso to correct it getting this team up to maximum level should be the target of Alonso because when madrid is their best form with the right chemistry it's difficult for any team to beat them.




This season is going to be a different season because it will be easier for the player to get to understand themselves and play better because this is the second season that they will be playing with each other it's just a matter of adapting to the coach instructions.

It's not like he has a choice, they are team and has to work together to win any match. I still commend him last season, Mbape acting role as a striker was very poor and he never resisted for doing his duty to assist Mbape at every opportunity. Some people says he is stingy and alwsys want to makw an attempt to score goal but I noticed that he doesn't really do that, he only score when he see that Mbape wasted most of the assist given to him in an attempt to score.

The leagues starting fresh on the 19th which is going to be next week day, I want to see what they have prepared for all this while. They are going to be having their friendly with WSG Tirol, I expect them to use that to entertain us because I'm really scared for them the way Barcelona is killing every games. Most of the games are meant to be friendly but Barcelona arr standing on business at every opportunity they have, it's either you see 5 goals or you see 7 goals, maybe we are going to see goals rain by Real Madrid.

Fans don't care if you are performing better before or not.  If they so you are not doing well anymore they will definitely complain and be talking negative things about you. Rashford is a key player since before he leaves Manchester united, is just that Erik Ten Hag don't really like him and make him leaves the club for loans and play for Aston Villa. And we see is performance in the club. We can't talk negative things about Rashford now, the league need to start first and see if he will perform better or not. The game that Rashford played is a preseason game and we can't just move to conclusion that he won't do better in the competition. The new season will start very soon and we will know the performance of Rashford. Barcelona as be doing good since last Season and all there preseason games is going well. so I think even they didn't used Rashford they will still be performing very great. But I think  Hansi Flick know why he loan him to the club he will get more advantage when playing in the ucl.

Till 2 months ago I used to guess Real Madrid will be the champions of 2019-20. I expected Zidan to manage to win this season with. But now my mind has changed a bit. I still believe there's aprobability that Real Madrid will make it. But I don't faith in Real Madrid as much as before. Real Madrid's pre-season results were really awful. It doesn't seem that Luka Jovic can be a big goal scorer.
I also expected Paul Pogba to be brought to Real Madrid. So, I think, there will be problems in midfield too.
Now I think Atletico and Barcelona have greater chance of winning this season of La liga. It's really difficult for me to choose one of these two teams.

Real Madrid didn't play pre season matches, I have no idea why they didn't want to play any when it was also very important for them, it was even Barcelona that had up to five friendly matches, perhaps the league Real Madrid came out from was enough for them not to stress on friendly again, however Atletico Madrid that also came out of the same league with them also saw need to and even if they could not play as much as Barcelona but they tried two to keep fit after the league, however Luka Jovic is an AC Milan forward and not on real Madrid so perhaps you must have been referring to Luka Modric since they share similar name.

They're a weak Serie A team, so for me, Barcelona's victory was expected. But what really caught my attention in that game was Marcus Rashford's performance. He was playing well as an assist-provider. He seemed like a midfielder rather than a striker. He wasn't consistently in the right places for Yamal's passes. He couldn't stay in a striker's position consistently.

Como just got promoted to serie A last season, and playing against Barcelona wasn’t really the right matchup. That 5 goal result doesn’t impress me much since the team they played against was pretty weak. About Rashford, I kinda find his performance a bit strange. I didn’t expect him to miss out on the best chances like that. Maybe it’s because he needs time to adjust, but looking at his past experience, it makes me think he might not be super consistent at keeping up his skills.

Como performed poorly throughout the match. Barcelona knew what they wanted and easily created chances. This year, their clash with Real Madrid will be a thrilling one. Real Madrid matches will continue to be the most watched. They were ruthless against Como, and they do the same to every team. They never stop scoring as many goals as they can.

It wouldn't be fair to expect Como to be lucky against Barcelona. The difference in squad quality and tactically was clear. Barcelona, having won the Gamper Trophy, had the best pre-season training camp. They will once again be a nightmare in the UCL and La Liga. No one will want to face them. Como had no chance in this match anyway. It would be unfair to expect a win from them.

I'm very surprised to see that a lot of people are of the opinion that Real Madrid can't win the Spanish La Liga title this new season just because the European giants weren't able to win a major trophy last season. What happened at Real Madrid last season that stopped them from winning the Spanish title wasn't because they didn't have the required squad to go all the way and win it but because of some tactical issues that the then coach Carlo Ancelotti couldn't find a solution to.
Now, Xabi Alonso is the club manager and if you ask me, i consider Real Madrid more of a title contender than the rest of the teams in the league including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

I'm not sure the problem was Ancelotti's inability to find the right tactical path. The players on the team tended to play more individually; Atlético Madrid and Barcelona's squads weren't built that way. But I also agree that Ancelotti's choices and decisions were flawed, which is why he never won a trophy. I also think Real Madrid would have been better with Xabi Alonso. As for the trophy, I think Barcelona is once again closer to the league this season. The Champions League is a complete mystery.

Personally, I think it was more of injuries that hindered them last season from winning any domestic trophy last season and as you said tactics as well. I still remember that at some point they were ahead of Barcelona on the table but somehow they slipped off the ladder. As for not winning any major trophy last season that's not true. Same Real Madrid won the UEFA Super cup and the FIFA Intercontinental cup same last season.

If Real didn't win La Liga and the UCL at the end of the season, it would be considered a failed season, and we can say they've emerged from a period of underachievement. Barcelona defeated them in every aspect last year. One of their biggest goals this year is to knock them out of the league. I have a feeling the competition will be even tighter this year.

But he won some silverware the previous seasons, so how do you explain that?

Real Madrid were a bit unfortunate on the injury side of things, especially the defence. It was one of the few seasons I saw Real Madrid concede and lose matches by huge goal margins. Even when there was a crisis, Real Madrid did not make full use of the January transfer window to reinforce the defence and at the end of it all they finished the season trophyless with some humiliating defeats.

Yesterday I watched the Barcelona game against Como, it was a Joan Gamper Trophy game, the final result of the game was as follows:



They're a weak Serie A team, so for me, Barcelona's victory was expected. But what really caught my attention in that game was Marcus Rashford's performance. He was playing well as an assist-provider. He seemed like a midfielder rather than a striker. He wasn't consistently in the right places for Yamal's passes. He couldn't stay in a striker's position consistently.

He seemed lost on the field, and when he had a chance to score, he simply missed from very close range and without a goalkeeper. I found it shocking how a striker could miss like that. Now I understand why the Manchester United coach is so upset with him. If he wants a place at Barcelona or any team, he needs to train seriously and play seriously.

That had been the problem of Marcus Rashford, after some nice performance he will the have a miss that will screw the whole thing, but I still believe he will adapt with time, if the chance is given, but with the look of things here and they way he's playing I think Hansi flick will kinda find it difficult to give him a first team shirt, so if I'm to be him I will probably put up much time to my training, as Barcelona is not a team that will seat and depend on a particular player, no that can't happen, because they've got so many good players to replace anyone that isn't doing well, so to Marcus Rashford moving to Barcelona is sweet but you've got to have what it takes.

Yeah, I think Marcus Rashford is feeling a bit of a lack of understanding because against Como he made some good chances but failed to score goals. I think he needs time to make himself even more better in terms of understanding. Hansi Flick is also making a better strategy to adjust him in their team sheet. Marcus Rashford is a smart player his mental strength is too strong, and I pretty obvious that very soon he will understand the player chemistry and will adopt the Barcelona tactics preast.

Apart from this, Barcelona was too good against Como. All of the their players play super brilliantly, especially Fermin Lopez, Yamal Jamal, Raphinha, etc. I hope Barcelona will still continue like this, and if they maintain their efficiency, then probably they can win UEFA champions league titles, La Liga title etc.

Yes, I'm surprised about that too. I was expecting transfers from Real Madrid in January, but they didn't happen. In return, they suffered embarrassing, heavy defeats. They suffered a similar defeat in the CWC. Madrid has taken good precautions to prevent this from happening in La Liga, but injuries could still lead to long-term problems.

Alot of people think Anceloti was the problem but he was never but tactically he was among the problem. Just because it work out in the end when things are going wrong doesn't mean it will always happen. They did that and succeeded in the other seasons and people always regard them as magic club but it's not, luck and players consistency made that happen. When things are not going well, learn to accept your mistake and change players but to Anceloti, it's do or die affairs.

Players problems were majorly injuries, almost all the defenders weren't around mendy wasn't available, Carvahal the same, the rest were doing on and off until Rudiger finally left. He was trying to stay because without him, the defense will be so weak but the presence never contributed much. Bellingham perfmqnce was also buried, the guy had a good season and then fell off like he was never there in the first place. Even Mbape that was so hype was quack player the entire season.

I will always disagree whenever someone mentions this luck of a thing, as Modric once said, if it's luck then why always repeat itself? And I love his simple answer to this question, a team did same over time and tim again and people thinks it's luck, lol. If it's luck why can't other teams be lucky, or is luck only meant for the team alone? I will forever disagree with this term "luck" being used on Real Madrid success rate

They can't win both La Liga and UCL this season, it can be one of them. Real Madrid are coming back stronger, but we can't tell if they can resist top clubs in the Champions league, as for La Liga if Barcelona fail to dominate or Madrid get to build resistance against Barcelona during El Clasico then obviously Real Madrid will win La Liga.

Match Week 1 La Liga fixtures:

Mallorca VS Barcelona

Real Madrid VS Osasuna 

I consider week 1 to be first 3 point for both teams.
