La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Mustang Shelby]

Barcelona doesn't have a good financial situation. Especially compared to Real Madrid they don't have money to buy superstar palyers and sometimes they don't even have enough money to save and keep the players they already have which can make some players leave the team because of them getting not high salaries in Barcelona while other teams can give them more.
Currently, the contract of De Jong will end in 2026 and he can leave Barcelona for free while Barcelona sent him an offer to extend his contract but he hasn't responded yet.

Frenkie de Jong has the highest salary at Barcelona and the club's current financial situation is indeed getting worse which makes some players worry about their salaries which might be cut, maybe the reason Frenkie de Jong has not pressed for a contract extension is because he still has to think long about this problem or decide to move to another club that will give a higher salary, he has been with Barcelona for 6 seasons and I think that is long enough, Barcalenoa want to keep him longer but cannot force the player to stay.

If he is getting the highest salary, he may not want to renew his contract with Barcelona. If he wants a higher salary, he can transfer to another European team. I am sure he will want to get De Jong. There are many teams waiting in line to meet his transfer fee and contract. He is a very good player, I really like his style. Moreover, he is still 27 years old and very young. He is capable of performing at a high level. Maybe Barcelona should reconsider their decision.

Hansi Flick still considers De Jong is important for Barcelona so that's why he personally want De Jong to extended his contract and actually the owner of Barcelona is don't mind to give contract extension to De Jong but they want his salary will be deducted and De Jong hasn't give his respond regarding this statement but i think Barcelona should be focusing to extended the contract of other players rather than De Jong and in my opinion hold De Jong for long term is risky  this because he is injured prone and since September last year De Jong has several times to gets the injured and since joining for every season De Jong was never able to playing full for Barcelona

Real Madrid ha only suffered 1 defeat but Madrid has drawn more while Barcelona has never gone this far that is why the difference in points between Barca and Real Madrid is 6 points but Barca has played 1 more match than Madrid, regarding the chances of both teams of course they still have an open chance to compete for the title.

Honestly, the title is still open, and both teams have good chances of winning this season’s La Liga trophy. six-points gap is not so wide that we should think Real Madrid can’t catch up. The truth is, Real Madrid may not be as strong as Barcelona based on recent results, but I have confidence that, with time, Real Madrid will become stronger. However, I don’t have much confidence in Barcelona’s performance either.Their results against average teams have been surprising, such as their defeats by Osasuna and Real Sociedad. I don’t think many people expected these teams to beat Barcelona, considering their form. If these teams can defeat Barcelona, we should expect more defeat in the future, which is why I can’t say for certain that Barcelona will be the La Liga winner this season as for now.

It is too early to guess who will win the La Liga title this season even though we have seen the progress that has occurred at Barcelona, ​​this club still has to face many challenges in the upcoming matches if Barcelona can maintain their good performance until the end of the season then the chance to win the trophy is greater all the results depend on how Barcelona faces the remaining matches this season.

If Barcelona continues to perform like this season, I think they will continue to lead the rest of the league. However, Real Madrid is currently on their back. I am sure that Real Madrid will share the top spot with their first mistake. The only sad thing for Real Madrid is the abundance of injured players. However, since they have many alternative chances, they are one of the teams that will be affected the least. Because their substitutes are also very high quality. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, may fall behind in the league due to the possibility of their important players getting injured. For example, if Lewandowski gets injured, the team performance may decrease or if the young star Lamine Yamal gets injured, they will not be able to get the same performance from their substitutes. This leaves them more vulnerable than Real Madrid.

They are just suffering from the lavish lifestyle they were living back then when they were busy splashing 100m on every player they want to sign and paying huge wages they never thought those players would fail at the club and now it is affecting the club. This could go on for years before they can finally regain their financial stability, it’s a pity that it has to be the great Barcelona facing this problem but i believe they will find their way out soon.
Barcelona is currently doing well in all competitions with the new coach so I don’t really see a reason for De Jong to leave now when things are looking good.

Frenkie de Jong has the highest salary at Barcelona and the club's current financial situation is indeed getting worse which makes some players worry about their salaries which might be cut, maybe the reason Frenkie de Jong has not pressed for a contract extension is because he still has to think long about this problem or decide to move to another club that will give a higher salary

Most players agree to a pay cut at the club for the love they have and De Jong being the highest paid means his wages will be the first to be considered for a pay cut so it might be a bit tough for him so he definitely needs time to think if he can accept that.

FC Barcelona's debt problem can be summarised in the following image:



It is simply an unstoppable growing trend in which more and more of their future is being pawned in order to maintain the level of the present. Compared to its most direct rival, Real Madrid has less net debt, more income and more liquidity. The only thing that can continue to save Barcelona from being forced to become a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva is its sporting results, which for the moment allows it to hold on by the skin of its teeth.

So far Barcelona is indeed the favorite after they showed impressive performance since the beginning of the season but their rival Real Madrid also cannot be underestimated.
This season's journey is still very long and anything is still possible so of course the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will of course continue until the end of the season and even this season will be fiercer.

And there is no guarantee that Barcelona can maintain the consistency of its performance until the end of the season, for example, last weekend they lost to Real Sociedad, so it is indeed quite difficult to predict in football, especially in the long term for the title fight, for me Barcelona and Real Madrid still have the same percentage to win the title this season.

Frenkie de Jong has many options if he has to leave Barcelona, ​​i heard that several clubs might be interested in him, those clubs are Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich & Paris Saint-Germain. It is difficult to play without the expectation of earning a decent income, these days football is not just football. After all, his contract at Barcelona will still finish in 2026, which is a long time.

It's not a big difference in points. We often hear to watch Real Madrid matches until the end. And here we also have to watch Real Madrid matches until the end of the season. Real Madrid is a club with a champion mentality and honestly I favor them to be the champions of La Liga again this season, even the UCL champions if they qualify for the last 16. Barcelona has performed better this season but it seems they can't be consistent with their performance. It's quite surprising that Barcelona lost to Sociedad. On the other hand, Real Madrid only got 1 defeat and that was from Barcelona. This proves that Real Madrid is quite consistent in their gameplay.

Agreed, there are still many games yet to be played in La Liga. Just like you, I also favor Real Madrid to become champions rather than Barcelona. Lately, Real Madrid has been unlucky, and we must also remember that the league is not a match between 2 teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona). If Barcelona can lose to Real Sociedad, that means opening up the opportunity for them to lose to other mid-table teams. After the international break, we will see the continuation of La Liga. Let's see what will happen there.

There is nothing wrong if we favor Real Madrid even though with conditions like this they still deserve to be strong candidates in the La Liga competition, and with the competition still long they still have enough time to improve their condition to be better in each match and also to catch up on the points gap from Barcelona, ​​I am sure that in the near future Real Madrid will return to normal.

But Barcelona always wanted to sell him. They have already tried it several times, but keep failed. They have also told De Jong to left, but he still tried his best to defend his position in the club.

I know many clubs want him. But, the transfer could happen only if De Jong agreed with the destination club. he has the right to defend his position to reject any offers from othe rclubs if he didn't have interest to leave.

The problem is, letting him leave for free is a win for Barcelona. They should have sold him before his contract ended. It's a dilemma for Barcelona.

In addition, De Jong's departure could also ease the club's expenses, Barcelona also has several talented young midfielders who can contribute to the team. So far he has been one of the players who is difficult to replace in the main squad, but lately the stock of midfielders has increased in the Barcelona squad, so I think his departure will not have a big impact on the team's performance.

[Moreno233]

As long as the points difference between Barcelona and Madrid is not too far, the opportunity is still there and I think the points difference between the two teams is only 3 points. Because Madrid still has a postponed match and I think this match will give full points to Madrid.
In january when the transfer market reopens, Barcelona and Madrid can very quickly have high changes because we all know that both teams will look for the right players to replace injured players.
So as long as we have not entered january, there are still many things that will happen.

The journey is still quite long so I think the current points difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid will not affect anything for the competition between the two teams in the fight for the title this season, and what is certain is that fierce competition will occur between the two teams.
Regardless of whatever happens in these two teams, both are two top La Liga teams who compete fiercely every season in the fight for the title so I think that will also happen this season.

For Barcelona, ​​maybe they are in their top performance right now but not for Real Madrid with all the difficulties they face which makes their performance decline greatly but I remain optimistic that they will overcome that.

You are seeing the same thing that I'm seeing as I believe the season is still a long one and very open to many possibilities. The gap between the Barcelona that is at the top and their .major rival Real Madrid is not wide, just something Madrid can close on a very short time when they put things in order. Furthermore, Barcelona lost their last match to Real Sociedad which is a sign that all is not perfect with them as well. Just one more loss and Madrid will already be at per with them. Let's see how the season will proceed especially when January transfer market will open.

Well, that will be if Madrid win both games, the one that was postponed and the one they play tomorrow against Leganés, which a priori should be easy for Ancelotti's team, but only if they draw, the maths you have put would not add up. In any case, Barcelona's difference is not crucial and there is still a long way to go in the league.

[Adiljutt156]

Barcelona and Real Madrid are currently six points apart, but Barcelona have played 13 matches, while Real Madrid have just played 12 matches so far. With points gap and difference in the total of matches like that, I believe Real Madrid still have a chance to overtake Barcelona. Because even though Barcelona looks very good so far this season,  but in reality Barcelona has also suffered two defeats, but Real Madrid has only suffered one defeat so far this season. Therefore, I believe the competition for the La Liga title will still be very interesting because after all, Real Madrid clearly has a squad that has a winning mentality and great ambition in every generation, so Real Madrid always has a chance to rise.

Real Madrid football team will play next match against Leganés football team after 9 days and that match will be interesting match because both teams will give all effort to win this match. Leganés  team won 3 matches out of 5 matches and they lose 2 matches and Real Madrid team also lose 2 matches out of 5 and won three matches and that was the reason of good match between these two teams. After this match , Liverpool football team will play match against Real Madrid team. Real Madrid team stats is very wonderful against Liverpool and that's why I think that team can get first position in next few matches.The match  of Real Madrid team against Liverpool team could be tough for both teams but we will enjoy that match.

In a situation like this, Barcelona must put De Jong on the transfer list in the January transfer window to prevent the player from leaving on a free transfer.

So far he has been one of the players who is difficult to replace in the main squad, but lately the stock of midfielders has increased in the Barcelona squad, so I think his departure will not have a big impact on the team's performance.

De Jong was on the list of sales in Barcelona in latest transfer seasons and with good growth of youth players in this season, Barcelona have more reasons to sell De Jong. They need to reduce their total player salary to meet La Liga's financial terms, and they need to get money from player transfers if possible. Even they won't receive too money from De Jong transfer, it will still be helpful for them by reducing player salary a lot.

Their contract with De Jong ends on June 2026 and they will have a next summer transfer to sell this player.

[Pokapoka124]

Right now the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is six but remember Real Madrid has played one match less compared to Barcelona. So if Real Madrid is able to win the next match the point difference is going to be only three and that difference is going to be very easy for Real Madrid to overcome. Barcelona will have to be very careful. Nobody already expects them to win the Champions League title anyway. So they better do very well in the La Liga competition. They have a lot of young players in the squad. They can actually perform well with them. And I definitely do not want Barcelona to lose their credibility

Still early for me to consider Barcelona possible of becoming this season's La Laliga champions, and despite Real Madrid's beginning of the season early flops. However,  Barcelona focusing too much on the Champions League games and leaving the La Liga games to be less concentrated, will be a problem for them to not maintain their lead, I so much believe that Real Madrid will do everything within their strength to try to grab the whole of outstanding 3 points in other to close the gaps.

You are correct, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is just 6 points with Madrid having a game in hand. If Real Madrid wins, it will automatically reduce the point to just three point which is very realistic for Real Madrid to catch up with them. A lot of people did not believe that Real Madrid would be able to close the gap between them and Barcelona. I do not count Barcelona as favourites for the Champions League but if they really want to achieve success this season they need to maintain consistency and also remain focused as this two factors will be crucial for them if they want to achieve success this season.

The defeat from Real Soceidad came as a shock to Barcelona and this will definitely give Real Madrid more courage and hope to win their next match in order to close up the gap between them in the one match outstanding left for them to play. The La Liga will only get more interesting if this two teams are few points ahead of each other with both playing to their best to get the lead. Barcelona have more chances still, but that’s only if they can maintain consistency. Real Madrid games haven’t been that impressive these days and they may end up not getting to win the La Liga is they continue in this form. We still have more time in the league before conclusions can be made on what we may see from this teams, but in reality now, Barcelona are much better than Real Madrid.

Frenkie de Jong has the highest salary at Barcelona and the club's current financial situation is indeed getting worse which makes some players worry about their salaries which might be cut, maybe the reason Frenkie de Jong has not pressed for a contract extension is because he still has to think long about this problem or decide to move to another club that will give a higher salary, he has been with Barcelona for 6 seasons and I think that is long enough, Barcalenoa want to keep him longer but cannot force the player to stay.

In a situation like this, Barcelona must put De Jong on the transfer list in the January transfer window to prevent the player from leaving on a free transfer.

So far he has been one of the players who is difficult to replace in the main squad, but lately the stock of midfielders has increased in the Barcelona squad, so I think his departure will not have a big impact on the team's performance.

De Jong is a very talented player and has contributed greatly to the team over the past six seasons, with Barcelona financial condition being unstable but in positive form like today, Barcelona should act wisely in retaining or releasing players, so that they can still stabilize their finances but not affect their performance on the pitch later, De Jong, who has a high salary and has a contract until 2026, has not decided to stay or leave, so indeed this has caused a lot of speculation about his future, apart from De Jong, Araujo future is also still make a puzzle at the moment and Barcelona has confirmed that there is not yet common ground between the two due to the salary adjustment problem.

I think, it's better for Barcelona to sell De Jong because that it can reduce their salary and financial burden, besides that selling De Jong will also give a lot of space to talented young players, so that way, in addition to getting money, of course Barcelona can also still balance their squad with young players who can take over the role of De Jong in the midfield later.
