La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[MAAManda]

I heard it but I am surprised with the transfer price for Tchouameni. It is too expensive in my opinion. In addition, with Tchouameni, Real Madrid will not get too much additional income from jersey selling, marketing etc. It is opposite to traditional approach of Real Madrid on transfer market. Usually they are ready to pay expensive transfer cost for star players who can help them to get good results and income from football and from marketing too.

Although it seems too expensive, but if Real Madrid buy Tchouameni and he develops there, this will be a big advantage for Real Madrid considering Tchouameni's age is still quite young. There is nothing more profitable in football than selling potential players.

The presence of Rudiger can already complete the Real Madrid defense.  Militao doesn't look very strong, but next season he will be starting to mature and is very suitable for a duet with Rudiger.  Alaba could have been returned to his original position at left back.  Tchouameni is Real Madrid's main target to regenerate the midfield, because in this position many players have started to age.  Real Madrid also release a lot of old players, so it is imperative for them to find replacements to add depth to the squad.  Maybe for the next season, Ancelotti can still rely on the existing squad.

Although Militao's form has not been very visible this season, I'm sure he will improve next season, we have to remember that adaptation is very important in football, and I'm also really looking forward to the partnership between Rudiger - Militao in the main defense.

^ I am hearing some rumors about him being targeted by Liverpool and Aston Villa. I am really not sure about these rumors. But if Mane leaves Liverpool I think Suarez can be a replacement. Even though he will not be able to give his service for a long time I believe there will be at least a good replacement. And it is obviously good to get a player like him for free.

I did hear something about Aston Villa and Suarez but I think he is not going to be a primary target for Steven Gerrard.

I think moving to Liverpool is not the best option for Suarez even though he is a top ex-player at Liverpool. Suarez will not be able to compete with other younger strikers he will not get enough minutes if he moves to Liverpool. Aston Villa are much more realistic for Suarez but there is no word yet on that possibility at this time.

Gerrard will probably try to get a player who is younger than Suarez, but of course I don't think Suarez is finished. He's still earning for but will probably be outmatched by other strikers. At Aston Villa he will have the opportunity to combine with Coutinho, it would be good in my opinion if Suarez gets a chance at Aston Villa.

Obviously choosing Liverpool for his club is not an easy thing for Suarez he is old not like he used to be and Klopp prefers young and talented players with Suarez not the criteria Klopp wants so the rumors don't exist.

Whether Suarez chooses Aston Villa, he must know the consequences because in the EPL a tight league, even if Suarez is old, he must be able to compete again there, even with coach Steven Gerrard, who used to play together.

Yes, we know that the Premier League is the best league in Europe at the moment and of course it is very competitive all the time. But Suarez may no longer be expected by the big teams because they know he is no longer young.

Suarez may be a good fit for Aston Villa, but the question is whether the team are really interested in using his services next season. Of course Gerrard prefers an easier player, but it might not be a problem if he wants a more experienced player like Suarez.

True, Real Madrid have a stable defense even that is confirmed by the appearance of their excellent goalkeeper, Courtois. Maybe some people think that Real Madrid's defense is weak because they saw Courtois being the last stronghold that was difficult to penetrate, so Real Madrid's defense didn't seem so dominant.

Real madrid goal keeper needs to be acknowledged,  he is one of the reasons why Real Madrid were able to win many trophies by saving a lots of shots in laliga and Champions league. People always talk more about Real Madrid defense thinking that is their defense that makes them to win all their games, but their defenses are not good some times and when opponents get to the goalkeeper with shots ,  it is only the goalkeeper to save the ball from the net times like this.

In yesterday's Real Madrid final, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois got a lot of attention for his saves. Thibaut Courtois' performance throughout the UCL event was quite good. But in LaLiga in 38 matches played Real Madrid experienced 31 goals against, and that is normal as experienced by Barcelona, and Sevilla. But I admit, Thibaut Courtois' performance in the final yesterday, his performance made the match even more exciting.

[D-law]

Liverpool has Salah as a point man currently, won't bringing Suarez in cause issues in the field.
They are both good goal scorers and if he doesn't pass the ball, something else.
Liverpool should also build around young talent's coming out rather than Suarez, although he has got he's touch still

[DukeNickle]

I think that Courtois' amazing performance doesn't prove that Real Madrid have a very strong defense. Defense is not just about if the goalkeeper concedes many goals or not. Defenders also play a very important role in this. When it comes to their defenders, I don't see a very solid performance there. They would even be out of the Champions League earlier if it wasn't for Courtois' great goalkeeping performance. However they have Rüdiger in the team by this summer. It will surely add a big power to their current defensive strength.

[hashrateproducts]

Real Madrid have a fallible defense, if you check in all the games they played against tough teams in the Champions league. One will notice that they conceded much goals starting from PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City. The Los Blancos side passed through all these challenges but what saved them was a good and sharp Frontlines. They have both brutal midfield and attack, they don't easily Missed chances of goal scoring. For instance in the final were they face Liverpool, who happens to have tough players too, the both teams are very much alike except for the defense that Liverpool beat them a little bit. How could I forget to mention one important in the team that played an essential role, the goal keeper, Thibaut Courtois who saved them from the hands of Liverpool.

[Sebas.tian]

Jose Bordalas will not be Valencia manager for next season although he have contract until 2023 but he decide to leave and about the replacement of him Valencia reported want Gennaro Gattuso as new manager and seems everything runs smoothly because Gattuso also seems interested in becoming Valencia manager and if this happend then Gattuso want new players which is most likely from Italy and the management targeted Valencia can reach to European zone under Gattuso

I think, Jose Bordalas record will make the management to consider him to remain in next season because he really helped Valencia to defeated so many strong teams in this season, that they have never defeat before since they created the team. I don't think Valencia management will accept Gennaro Gattuso as new Valencia manager because they will like to give another opportunity to Jose Bordalas to prove to the team that he can help them to achieve all the titles in next season. Next season will definitely work for the favour of Valencia because their manager will like to introduce more strategies that will help the team to remain unbeatable in next season.

Maybe one thing I want to see in the coming season is how Barcelona perform. They have been doing well this season since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez and have given Barcelona a clear purpose. That is certainly a good investment, but we still have to see how consistent the team he has built is. Will he be able to maintain it or vice versa?

This season Xavi has indeed passed all the criticisms that exist as a novice coach, coming from a club in qatar Xavi managed to lift the deteriorating form of barcelona in the koeman era, with a squad and limited finances  xavi was able to give his best this season,  of course next season he will be able to repeat his success with Barcelona, ​​especially now Xavi is reportedly getting a lot of budget to improve the Barcelona squad next season from their new sponsor.

[KTChampions]

Name the club that can fight Real Madrid in La Liga?  Even if Real have some less effective striker instead of Benzema? I think that the next season will start with the fact that the bookmakers will quote the Real championship as 1.3-1.4.

The transfer windows is not close yet, some people can not just conclude about this and think Real Madrid will lead next season. For a good club like Real Madrid, it is normal that the odd against other clubs can be low, but this also goes to Barcelona and Atletico. The beginning of the season will be tough, the odds can only get lower when the team of each clubs have been known with their potential and the extent they are winning which will be used to determine the odd to use. Clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has always be Real Madrid competitor in La Liga.

It is clear that the usual trio will fight for the championship, and so far there are no prerequisites for someone to wedged into this fight. But Barcelona and Ateltico are in crisis (and Real are on the rise) and if you can expect Atlético to be able to return to business (if only out of simple optimism), then Barcelona is unlikely, as financial problems bind it hand and foot.

[omgitsmehehe]

Barcelona have done well on their list since Xavi's arrival. It would be an overstatement to say they did a great job as that defeat at home to Frankfurt in the ESee was a disgrace. They did the best they could in the competition. A 2nd place was actually no longer conceivable, given the distance in points to Sevilla. Sevilla has also played a very mediocre 2nd half of the season, and have also been overtaken by Atletico Madrid.

Despite the defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, I think Barcelona tried so much last season. Looking at their last season I never expected them to finish at the second place in the league, I think they played so well to achieve such sucess in the league. All thanks to their new coach xavi Hernandez for his contribution to the team success, he played a vital role to the sucess of the team. I think he is one of the best coach in laliga this season.

It is true that the limitations that Xavi had when he first came to Barcelona were not very good, especially since he was required to improve this team from adversity. But he managed to do something extraordinary for this team in the middle of the storm. The next season will definitely be much better because the form of this team has been seen since Xavi took charge of this team.

This is actually quite natural because indeed they have lost Sergio and Varane in the previous season so there are definitely a lot of gaps there. even though his role has been replaced with Alaba and there is also Militao and sometimes pulls Casimero to the position of defender but still there is still a gap there because this may be because the chemistry is not very solid.
On the other hand now they have made a breakthrough by bringing Rudiger from Chelsea I think they really realize that the back line still needs to be patched there

But Barcelona and Ateltico are in crisis (and Real are on the rise) and if you can expect Atlético to be able to return to business (if only out of simple optimism), then Barcelona is unlikely, as financial problems bind it hand and foot.

I don't think Barcelona is in too much of a crisis. If Barcelona does not buy a new striker this season, they will not face any problems. Barcelona's forward Lineup is still strong enough. And their gameplay is excellent. Their only weakness is defence. On the other hand, if Real Madrid cannot add any new talented striker, and if Benzema cannot maintain his form, then Real Madrid's performance will be severely reduced.

They even still have debts due to the arrival of Ferran Torres last season how can they not lack money now. Are they really going to anticipate by going back into debt and minimizing the salary for Lewandowski as well? I think this is tantamount to reopening the graves they closed earlier because it's clear they're going to have a bit of trouble with that.
But on the other hand they are still able to bring in this player but they also have to prepare for the worst

Barcelona over position on forward until forget with defender position how most terrible with Gerrard Pique not playing well and inconsistent last season, I think not only busy with Lewandowski transfer but also Barcelona need to find new defender for next season how to give safety for goal keeper. Have been many potential forward I think now Barcelona just try focus and keep use money for getting new defender next season. Not really enough with defender position on Barcelona right now because many of defender always get injury on the same time, not have chance for make rotation how keep effective on defensive area.

If the list of favorite clubs in La Liga comes up, the first name that comes up is Real Madrid. They are currently one of the best teams. In the meantime, they have taken home the 2022 UEFA Champions League trophy. So without a doubt La Liga is one of the best teams Real Madrid

[Rigon]

Thank you @Trofo for opening a new thread for the 2019/2020 season.
Bilbao vs Barcelona will start shortly. Maybe the right topic to discuss now.
Barcelona will secure their starting points in this match, May Bilbao provide resistance to make it difficult for Barcelona to win. At least a draw can be obtained.

Considering the strength of the two teams, Barcelona will definitely be ahead. But at present their performance is not very promising. But who has lost much easier. But we all know that Barcelona can turn around at any time. We hope that soon the Barcelona club will turn around strongly again.
