La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Accardo]

Will any player leave a club if he or she is performing well , gets all he wants and also wouldn't the manager love to keep such players at any cost that could be afforded by the club? Money is one thing, winning trophies is another thing and besides, the more he stays in the club the higher his pay. Also, a player could terminate an agreement depending on agreed terms I think (not sure open to correction). If all that is possible then tell me what else or where else he needs to be than Barcelona

On Monday, Yamal completed all is required to stay in the club till 2031, Barca agreed with his agent 'Jorge Mendes' on the deal. He did 18 goals and 25 assist which also provided a bonus included in the deal if he wins Balloon D'or. In addition, he'd also be the highest paid player in the team surpassing Lewandowski's $36 million per annum. Unfortunately his bright future in Barca could be a barrier for low level players who have to be removed to save up more funds to purchase new players since Yamal's deal cost the club so much money.

[bastisisca]

Who wouldn't wanna retain such quality for as long as they can keep getting positive results with his presence in the club. The prospect of Barcelona losing Yamine Lamal would be far detrimental to the club's success, so a contract till 2031 feels great. If Yamal could spend his entire time at Barcelona he would be retiring with loads of trophies both domestic and European and would in no doubt retire as a legend of Barcelona. The signs are here with us already.
I thought Lionel Messi wouldn’t leave Barcelona, but if he left Barcelona, any player can leave Barcelona. Now we are talking about Yamal instead of Messi. He is a magnificent player and he is playing exceptionally for his 17 years. In a few years, he will be the best player in the world without exception. It is a very good thing that Barcelona signed a long-term deal. However, the retirement situation is a big uncertainty. I hope Yamal will be able to retire at Barcelona. Because he is one of the names that came out of the club’s youth academy and can be a symbol.
In the case of Lionel Messi he gave all of his prime to the club became a legend before exiting to PSG and his exit was based on mutual understanding between him and Barcelona at the time. Of course, Lamine Yamal there a possibility that he could leave but the certainty is that he wouldn't be leaving soon because Barcelona seems to be where his future will be brighter than anywhere else and he would want to achieve so much with this club before leaving just as Messi did.
Yamal might all spend most of his football years in Barcelona just like Messi, because Barcelona wouldn't let him go if he is improving and start winning the Ballon D'or like Messi did. These two players are both from Barcelona academy and for that reason, they feel that they owe Barcelona a lot for giving them the opportunity to shine and play in the senior team at their young age.

I totally agree, Yamal's stay in Barcelona would be really important for the club's success
Clearly having him locked up until 2031 has its reasons if we think about it, after all he is 17 years old, he is young and he is very happy with it.
Among other things, he has already proven his worth, he is a rising star.

Yamal is a La Masia product. He also favors Lionel Messi as his senior and both play with the same feet and in almost the same position. His love for Barcelona is unquestionable. This is different from players who are obtained from the transfer market who do not have much emotional closeness to the club. I think this will make Yamal one of the players who will be loyal to Barcelona. Unless there is something that cracks his loyalty. And for Barcelona, ​​they should prioritize their young players. Yes, Barcelona became champions this season with a fairly young squad. I am sure that in the future this team has a great chance of winning the treble winner or even the sixtuple.

I think it's not worth comparing Lionel Messi with Yamal because these two players play in a different era and I prefer to say that Yamal is The Nex Lionel Messi. Yamal is indeed a product of La Masia so that it is much better to understand the condition of the team and his love for the club will definitely be far greater. But we also have to remember how the financial condition of Barcelona made them have to release Lionel Messi and hopefully this would not happen to Yamal. Barcelona's squad will be more mature with the experience they get every season so that in the future this team will be much more successful if able to maintain the power of players like what is currently owned.

Yes, indeed, Chelsea was more prepared, more able to control the ball, more capable of doing effective attacking, and also counter attack that was epci. Real Betis was able to open first in the 9th minute and even managed to lead in the first half. But in the second half, Chelsea really went crazy and an epic counter attack happened. Real Betis couldn't hold it back anymore.

More prepared? And Real Betis bossed them up during the first half of the game? Isco had his moments as he tore them apart enjoying his freedom. I more vexed with Antony,  he didn't show up when it mattered well, Cucurela being Cucurela handled him like it should have been done. I understand now why he struggles against Premier league defenders and succeed whenever he comes up against Spanish defenders. He lacks the physical abilities facing EPL defenders.

Antony failed to shine when needed, the final should have been a big stage to prove Manchester United were wrong to let him go on loan. But Antony failed to make an impact, unlike in previous games. Now we know one thing about Antony, he is overwhelmed when competing with Premier League defenders, it makes sense why Ruben Amorim pushed him away from Old Trafford. However, Real Betis management is reportedly fighting to extend Antony loan, but Manchester United seem reluctant because they want a permanent transfer.

You are very correct, yamal is a very good player and can be compared to Messi at his age, Barcelona right now is a very strong team because they have very good young players, yamal will win ballon d'or very soon if he continues playing this good, they may have missed out on champions League this season but next season I think they will not.
Yes the reason why Messi had to leave Barcelona was because Barcelona could no longer play him and so he lift, what I'm still wondering is that with how big Barcelona is how did they get into a financial set back like that, it really affected them and they need to manage there finance very well this time so they won't lose all this there young players, I know no club is above getting into a financial set back but the management should try to avoid that because it can really damage a club.
It won't be that easy for Barcelona in la Liga because real Madrid will be coming back stronger next season and it will be very competitive.

[reagansimms]

Every season they go much worse. According to this look, they are quite likely to find themselves in the relegation zone by the end of next season. 

I believe that will not happen. We all know who Sevilla are and this team has always been a European league hopeful who has always managed to win titles in these competitions. It's just about time for the management to get the right coach for Sevilla. And after the downturn of the past few seasons, there is a strong pressure for the management to fix what has gone wrong. If not fixed immediately, Sevilla may slowly be forgotten by their fans and this could have a negative impact in the future.

A decline in performance can happen to any club, but management readiness supported by finance can bring the club back to its best performance. Real Madrid has just entered a new era after ending the season without a title, the management immediately moved quickly to build the team by bringing in a new coach and several new players.
Sevilla can still be saved if the management is willing to spend money in the transfer market, several top players need to be brought in so they can compete again in the European zone.

Real Madrid have changed their coach. We know that Xabi Alonso is very talented. So it is to be expected that we will see more improvement in Madrid's performance next season. Madrid could not win any title this season. They have to at least secure the La Liga title next season. We are waiting to see which players Madrid will try to add to the squad in the transfer market.

Sevilla have been playing badly for the last few years. They have lost the best player in their squad and have failed to find a worthy replacement. This has happened due to lack of financial capacity. Sevilla management does not have enough money. If Sevilla fails to raise money to buy players this season too, then we will see poor performance from this team next season as well.

Here we go. Mbappe's golden boot soon. Happy to see him finished as the top scorer of La Liga this season. he also breaks a few record, which is also making him being compared to the GOATs.

Paying him more than 100 million will be worth it if he can peform stable in the coming seasons.

Kylian Mbappe already did his job brilliantly, as he ended up his first debut season by winning the European Golden Shoe for the first time ever and also grab a Pichichi Trophy due to the league competition in which he scored 32. At the start of the season, like after the signing of Kylian Mbappé, everyone is arguing about it that Killyan Mbappe will be a failure, like he will be Hazard 2.0, blah blah. But honestly, Kylian Mbappe has proven himself to be called the GOAT.

Apart from this, he simply capped such classical displays at Real Madrid although it was his first season. It is true that he failed to win any trophy for the club except the UEFA Super Cup. But maybe next season will be more exciting than this one because Real Madrid brings up Xabi Alonso as new their new coach. Probably he can win any major trophy for Real Madrid. But anyway, let see what happens next.

Exactly Mbappe have played is role very well and he as achieve is reward. Real Madrid will be more stronger next season with the players they are bringing to the team, they will try and challenge Barcelona and stop them next season, because Barcelona have disgrace Real Madrid this time around, they didn't get any wining against Barcelona. Madrid are not in there best this season, dew to some injuries but am sure, before the club words cup the player will be back and currently I think Cavarja is back and he will play the competition. Madrid midfield and left back are not stronge this season, and that make the club performance go weak. Let see what the new coach will perform next season, since Ancelotti as leave the club. we will know if the problem is from the coach or the players. Since they didn't get any major trophys this season, am really very sure madrid will do there best to achieve trophies next season.

There's something you must understand, some player got much ego and pride especially when they know that the club they are playing for really need them, some times you see them asking g for renegotiation of possible wage increase from there club and if the club refused he may be looking for excuses to leave, as for the manager trying to keep such player yea a manger will want to make sure that a player as such stays but in the op the way round if the club involved can no longer afford the player pay or the increment the player is asking for, they wouldn't have any option than to seek for for alternative means and the player could go on free agent, note if a player terminate and agreement there may also be consequences so before a players thinks towards this end he must have weigh the available options.

[Promocodeudo]

It's really not nice to start judging players at the beginning of the season without waiting for the season to at least come to an end before judging such a player. It's even worse of the player is new to either the team or the league. In this case, his both new to the team and the league. I still remember when Lewandowski was ahead of Mbappe in the Pichichi race and lots of Barcelona fans online were abusing Mbappe, saying that an old man is already outscoring him but they forget that despite the age difference, one was still needed to the league.

Even though we don't have to wait for the league to end atleast we should wait till the middle of the season before we can actually start any criticism, I think as football enthusiasts should know that the players we criticize are also humans and have ups and downs sometimes, another things is that, this players have times they are actually in the right sate of mind so at this time we should expect them to flop which is normal, although I also criticize players too because I feel people should be good at their profession but I come to realize that individual state of mind can affect what they do having said that, if this is about Mbappe although he didn't do much that's executed of him in the just concluded season but I believe he got some talent in him atleast his young and very talented as such, he's new in Realmadrid and I believe with time he must surely incorporate and adapt well in other to give his best to his team.

[Nheer]

Forget that media thing Barcelona is doing. They are just packaging Yamal so that people will think he is not been control by the club but Yamal isn't just a player, it's a project and it's a long term for that matter, they are just doing it to make sure man is not been own like Barcelona did with Messi but Yamal isn't going anywhere right now. Anytime I look at Yamal, people are seeing Messi in him but I see more of Neymar reckoning on Barcelona, that's what I see in him.

Why would anyone even think that Laporta will allow anyone to come and take away his only one eye when he was literally complaining bitterly that Real Madrid are selfish because they took the deal before them. It Yamal leave Barcelona by mistake with this current form of Barcelona, they will feel some impact that is not going to be good to them, Raphina will be unaffected but Lewandowski will feel it because Raphina is just like Vinicious, self centered.

I agree with you, the boy is still very young and with that kind of talent they can not afford to let him slip out of their hands that's why they are doing everything to make him happy and so they are controlling him in a way it won't seen that way. The boy is young and anything he is been told is what he would do now, I am sure the management knows he is a project for the future and I don't blame them for doing all they can to keep him with them. They will do the same thing they did with Lionel Messi and Yamal is just the perfect Messi replacement they need so they can't afford to lose him. I don't think they play same style with Neymar, the best version of Neymar I have ever seen was in Barcelona. Yamal is far from Neymar but not so far from Messi.

I don't think Yamal will want to leave now with the way Barcelona is playing there is fun both on and off the pitch and everything seems to be revolving around him so what else would a player want.

[Luzin]

Although his goal and assist statistics are low, if you look at Zubimendi's game he is an important player for Sociedad and Spain. He has open vision and is a good defensive midfielder. Although Sociedad were not in the top 10 at the end of the season, Zubimendi's role was very good. In some years he was a transfer target for Barcelona and Madrid. Currently Zubimendi is a target for Arsenal. There is news that Arsenal really want his services. Reportedly he has a release clause of £51 million.

I know at money level it can be temped but i dont really know why some players wants to go to Arsenal, i mean is a team who never win anything and have a horrible fate.

Now they have Arteta which is a spanish coach so you an be more familair with it but if i was a player i dont go to Arsenal at all (maybe for that im not a player right?).

[bastisisca]

Since they let Uni Emery out...

Apart from the exclusion from the Europa League, Sevilla's situation seems really critical
Management seems to have no clear vision to improve the team, and the next step becomes difficult if they don't find a way to fix the issues
They need a coach who fixes things, like Claudio Ranieri (if you look at what he did with Roma in Italy and with Leicester in the UK)

[dezoel]

Mbappe's golden boot soon. Happy to see him finished as the top scorer of La Liga this season. he also breaks a few record, which is also making him being compared to the GOATs.

Paying him more than 100 million will be worth it if he can peform stable in the coming seasons.

Considering Mbappe is only 26 years old, and we have just seen Lewandowski do 27 goals at age 36, we can safely say that as long as Mbappe stays healthy, that dude could play for 10 more years. Obviously Real has different customs, and culture, because they didn't even keep Ronaldo when he declined one year contract, but after a certain age, they just offer one year contracts, and if you keep playing well, you get another one year, if you do not, you are not signed.

But I bet that at least another 6-7 years will be great for Mbappe, he will still be fit and will be scoring. Will he break more records? Surely, he will do great. But real question is, will he win Ballon D'or here? I can see how he could score so much that one year Real will win everything like they sometimes do, and he will be the most scoring player, so he will get the Ballon D'or that year.

Lamine Yamal has now been extended by Barcelona until 2031 and of course I am very happy to read the news that Barcelona has extended Lamine Yamal's contract until 2031 because I think Yamal is very suitable to be in Barcelona and indeed Yamal is also very happy to be in Barcelona because it seems like he wants to be a Barcelona Legend player.

of course now Barcelona must be proud because they have young players who of course will have good potential for the future but of course we will not know about Yamal's performance in the coming season whether he will be better or not. but fortunately Lewandowski and Raphinha will remain in Barcelona so I am sure that in the coming season Barcelona will have the potential to make it difficult for Real Madrid again. but I hope Barcelona can bring in strong defenders because I think Barcelona really needs strong defenders. do you have any information about Barcelona whether they will bring in good defenders?

Lamine Yamal has already extended his contract, which makes many football fans like us happy because this player will be able to lead the team for a long time.He has already signed a 6-year contract with the club and as far as I know, he is considered one of the most promising talents in world football at the moment. You are right to say that Barcelona is feeling proud now because they have young players with potential. We noticed that he was able to put his talent on display when Spain won Euro 2024, so it is clear that he will now be able to perform much better on the big stage. Moreover the most important aspect is that he has become the cornerstone of this club.

I admit his performance in guarding the defensive midfield is very good and I even consider Zubimendi as one of the quality players and one thing that quite impressed me is that during 36 appearances this season he only got 6 yellow cards, for a defensive midfielder that is a good achievement reminding me of Sergio Busquets.
I heard the deal with Arsenal is going well but is this the right move? as we know Arsenal has difficulty getting trophies so as a talented player I think it is better to wait for another team to come like Liverpool for example reportedly this club is also interested.

[Akbarkoe]

I understand now why he struggles against Premier league defenders and succeed whenever he comes up against Spanish defenders. He lacks the physical abilities facing EPL defenders.

Yes, Antony did fail to present the UECL title to Real Betis in his last match, but we can't completely blame Antony for the defeat, in the second half when Chelsea players tried to increase the intensity of their attacks, instead of trying to maintain the advantage they already had, in that crucial round Real Betis' defense line was very weak, and several times they put up a fairly high defense line which made them quite overwhelmed when they got counterattacks from Chelsea players.

However, even though Antony and Isco failed to present the trophy, at least this season in La Liga they were able to finish in a better position and get a ticket to the UEFA Europa League next season. On the other hand, thanks to this slick performance, now we see Isco back on the Spanish national team list and so is Antony who was called back by the Barzil national team. As for whether Antony remains at Real Betis or returns to Old Trafford, at this time Man United is experiencing quite serious financial problems, so they will release Antony if the club is serious about signing him not on loan.

[Adbitco]

On Monday, Yamal completed all is required to stay in the club till 2031, Barca agreed with his agent 'Jorge Mendes' on the deal. He did 18 goals and 25 assist which also provided a bonus included in the deal if he wins Balloon D'or. In addition, he'd also be the highest paid player in the team surpassing Lewandowski's $36 million per annum. Unfortunately his bright future in Barca could be a barrier for low level players who have to be removed to save up more funds to purchase new players since Yamal's deal cost the club so much money.

Yamal earns the most money in the Barcelona squad? Just wow! Seems like Barcelona hasn't really learnt from previous mistakes, Yamal is still growing and hasn't even earned to be paid such ridiculous amount of money especially at his age. I just hope the money doesn't get into his head that he will start misbehaving. These old footballers that earn whatever they're earning now didn't just start earning huge amounts it was a gradual process and they grew into the system. Sooner or later, with two or three dribbles and some good performances again next season, he will ask for more money. Barcelona still hasn't learnt from the Messi deal.
