La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Republikcoin.com]

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?).

Arsenal didn't win any trophies in the last few seasons including this one, but if you look at the position Arsenal were in at the end of the season, it was certainly much better than all the other teams apart from the team that won the League by finishing first. So Arsenal shouldn't be considered bad just because they didn't get a trophy, because some other top teams also couldn't get the position that Arsenal got even though they could get a small trophy in certain competitions.

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.

There isn't here to learn in my opinion. They clearly paid Messi what he was worth but at the end the club wanted Pity from Messi and there is nothing like that when it comes to contract, as long as you signed it from the beginning, you will have to honour the contract until when it expire but they feel like it's enough because at that time, the club wasn't really winning much, I still don't believe Barcelona is that poor financially the way everyone thinks.

Yamal maybe young but he is good in there, even if he is age like the likes Of Haaland, he will be earning well talk more of when he is yet to be in his prime. If club like Real Madrid have that kind of project in Real Madrid, they will culture him to be the face of the club until they can no longer need again. This is the same hype they wanted to bring for Mbape but sadly the club isn't stable right now with performance but probably the season, things are going to align together.

What other performance can be unique other than these young Barcelona players. They're having good chemistry and doing extremely well in the club. Barcelona headcoach is proud of his players and will do better to ensure he hits top targets. Barcelona will not do without Lamine Yamal because he's always present to deliver the club especially when they're in problem. Lamine Yamal is a prominent player for Barcelona, he's the proclaim the future of Barcelona. Who else outshine this spectacular teen in Barca? Absolutely nobody because he's this rare gem that have always come out to be the best among the best. Lamine Yamal performance have been unique, one of the very best performing player, knowing what he do and he's pretty good at it.

Isn't Lewandowski making the most amount of money currently? I mean even after Yamal's contract extension? 

https://www.capology.com/club/barcelona/salaries/

The source tells me this at least. But right after him Yamal is coming when we include bonuses as well. Making this much money at the age of 17 already is insane!

I agree it carries risks. But maybe they were nervous about losing him to another team who knows...

Lamine Yamal is the lost gem that Barcelona lost after Lionel Messi left. It is not new for Barcelona that they have introduced the world to emerging players, they have discovered the best players in the world before, which is the beginning of the players becoming the best in the world with the help of Barcelona. Youth is a golden time for every player and this is the time to perform for their team. From the time Lamine Yamal is now, he can perform for Barcelona for a long time and win some titles for the team. As a Barça fan, I dream of the Messi, Neymar and Suarez chemistry around Lamine Yamal. Maybe we will see such a chemistry again that will be terrible for the opponent.

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.

I think it is very reasonable. Because that is how it should be when there is a player who has good potential, his salary is adjusted to his achievements and contributions to the club. If his salary is not appropriate, he can be hunted by other teams by offering fantastic salaries and having the prospect of winning trophies. Every club if there is a great player will always be alert, because many other teams are interested in the player so the club must provide salaries and bonuses according to his contribution.

if we talk about bad traits when having a lot of money it is an individual mistake and in my opinion Yamal's character is not a character like that who harms himself with his bad behavior because of course he is aware that at a young age there are still many ideals that he wants to work on in his career in the future. So in my opinion the club is not not learning from mistakes, but Barcelona does not want Yamal to leave with a tempting offer from another club.

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.

No doubt the signing of new coach will be good for real madrid, Xabi alonso is a ordinary coach he has so much experience to head Madrid to the next level. I believe in order to filled the gap he will sign all of those necessary players who can really make huge difference in team performance. Currently he is preparing the team for next season and their main focus is on new signing. Pre signing is ready to make this deal official, and now a few more players are required for the Xabi alonso to make the team perfect, because the previous season was spent so badly that real madrid only won UEFA super cup and failed to win the UCL, la Liga and Copa del rey. Now this season real madrid will be utilized all the money to make the Galacticos team and take the revenge from their rival due to el Clasico loses and also from those who defeated them in the previous season.
More ever I believe Alonso should go for f.wirtz and he really can fit in alonso tactical play.

Arsenal didn't win any trophies in the last few seasons including this one, but if you look at the position Arsenal were in at the end of the season, it was certainly much better than all the other teams apart from the team that won the League by finishing first. So Arsenal shouldn't be considered bad just because they didn't get a trophy, because some other top teams also couldn't get the position that Arsenal got even though they could get a small trophy in certain competitions.

The only problem Arsenal always has is the fact that they always mess up at the end of every season, and that is just the problem I think Arsenal is facing. But saying Arsenal is a weak team, I can’t believe that. Obviously, Arsenal is a strong team, and I think the luck of winning a trophy is still what has not come to them for the past many seasons now.

They have been facing the same problem; sometimes we all think Arsenal will be the winner of a league, but in the end, you will see that one or two matches make them drop points, and for them to climb to the top is always their main problem.

Once Arsenal drops points and leaves the top spot, going back is always a difficult thing. I hope Arteta will get over their problem by next season. Because sometimes it becomes difficult for me to understand what their main problem is. The players are okay; there is no weak position in the squad. The manager is still doing well, but the reason why Arsenal always ends up like this is what surprises me.

[bitgolden]

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.

That happens a bit later in life, no? I am sure that we are going to end up with teams who do very well and because of this we should be considering how we could make a lot money when we reach 25+ years old. But this kid is only 17 years old, becoming 18 this year, which means we could end up with a lot different result on his contract when he is a bit older.

If we could make him stay then he is going to stay but he will ask for more money and right now there are players who will make 20+ million salary, so that means Yamal will want that at least on his next contract, but for now he is young so he is fine with the current contract. If we do that then we are not going to see problems for a few years at least, even if they win with his help.

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?).

well I think despite Arsenal performance in the league, finishing second was not a notable achievement, especially considering the team recent struggles, I think Arsenal really try her possible best in the finals which we all no there try to demonstrated thier consistency and quality even if they didn't capture a golden trophy and also let take note most best teams capture the golden trophy best still failed and struggled with consistency in the league.

[GbitG]

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.

Yeah, honestly, he just made a beautiful comeback and scored more goals than the top scorers of the competition. even he won the European Golden shoes as well as the Pichichi Award, which I think is so honorable for Kylian Mbappe, that initially everyone expected that he would fail because he didn't do anything great for his even for himself. But eventually he make a comeback, and lonely, he scored 31 goals for Real Madrid.


Next season maybe Kylian Mbappe can bring up some good progress to the team because Real Madrid signed Xabi Alonso for the coaching, and we all know he is a great coach, and probably he will be bring the glory to the team. So I think next season will be better for Kylian Mbappé to score more goals for his team as well as to win the Ballon d'Or.

And Yamal, one way or the other, has become an asset to Barcelona, and he is always trying his best in every game played, and this is part of the reason why, and the money being paid might just be another way of encouraging him because they already know his value, and I hope he continues because most times things like this don't last. And most of the time, his personality will tell if the money is going to affect him or not, because there are players whose main focus is going to be the money instead of them giving the optimum performance that they are supposed to give, since it's their duty. And if he's getting the money and he's giving satisfaction to the management, then I don't think there is a problem there, so all he can do is improve every time and give results.

[promise444c5]

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.

I haven't seen the exact amount he will get paid with his current deal. At least from every source I have seen so far apart from the one that claimed £325,000 (weekly I think) none of them have talked about it. Hence, if true the numbers are still likely to increase overtime so far his performance keeps getting better. Just thinking shouldn't Raphinha's wage be more than his for now? I haven't seen Raphinha's as well though after his recent contract.

Arsenal should be winning trophies because that's what matters the most. It's not all about finishing 2nd in the table, infact Tottenham and crystal palace finished better than Arsenal this season because they both won trophies. I wouldn't want to rate them bad because they couldn't win any trophy this season but this kind of poor development if allowed to continue will hinder the progress of the club. Arteta should be more focused on winning trophies for his club because that's what he's been paid for rather than just finishing at the top of the table.

I get your point, but if it had being that Barcelona refused to pay Yamal a huge amount because of his age, don't you think that other clubs who have seen the potential of Yamal and knows he worth in the field of play would like to promise to pay Yamal more than the amount Barcelona have promise to give him. Barcelona knows that this is the exact way to safeguard their asset(Yamal) at young age. The amount that is to be paid to Yamal is for purpose, to make him stuck to Barcelona till 2031, so that no other  team would buy him off till then.

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.

Well, whether it was in the first or second half, Chelsea were indeed more prepared, for everything. Although they were left behind in the first half, they were also ready with their strategy, and finally they were able to counter attack.

Antony did not shine in this match, but that does not mean we should blame him entirely for Real Betis' defeat in the final. Antony had tried to score 3 total shots, only, it did not result in a goal.

Here, Real Betis' defense line was really bad, like the defenders or the DM, they were quite easily hit by Chelsea's counter attack. Even from the player rating, at least, it was like this:

I agree that Arsenal cannot be considered a bad team just because they ended the season without a trophy, they have worked hard to finish as runners-up in the Premier League and made it all the way to the Champions League semi finals. However, like it or not, trophies will always be the standard of a team success, trophies are the validation of all the hard work and consistency. On the one hand, Arsenal deserve credit, because in the last three seasons they have always been a consistent title challenger. But on the other hand, that is not enough, and not worth the budget that Arteta has spent.

The management and club officials must evaluate Arteta performance, so that next season, they will no longer end the season empty handed. Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea, Crystal Palace fans have something to be proud of this season, that is what ultimately makes the difference. Arteta must fight to ensure that one day Arsenal fans also have something to be proud of.

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.

It will take time for Barcelona to become a stronger team and slowly the players they have now will improve as they gain experience. Yamal is a great talent owned by Barcelona and he shows extraordinary talent in every match, the skills he has are also considered perfect because he is able to play at a better level at a fairly young age. Ballon d'Or can certainly be achieved as long as individual performance can be maintained for each season and most importantly his contribution can provide a way for Barcelona to win the Champions League trophy again. It is not easy to be one of the best teams when finances are unstable, but Barcelona is able to become one of the strong teams just by relying on young players from the academy and this is extraordinary.

[Catenaccio]

It will take time for Barcelona to become a stronger team and slowly the players they have now will improve as they gain experience.

This season, Barcelona have many young players but they managed to win La Liga title, Copa del Rey, and even go to Champions League final match. They had due chances of beating Inter Milan and joining the final match but eventually they lost it. Anyway, their performances in this season as a team and specifically their young player performances are very impressive. It shows that their young players are very talented, matured enough and through this season, they have gained  more valuable experience that will help them playing better in a next season.

Yamal is an extraordinary young player and he has stats of a beast at his young age. His stats are far better than figures for Messi and Ronaldo when those legends at their 17s like Yamal now.

Yamal looks to have good physical fitness genetically and he is also very professional so I believe that he will maintain his career at world class level for a long time. So far Yamal did not show signals of his lack of focus on his career from training to performances in official matches for Barcelona. If Yamal manages to avoid injuries especially severe injuries, he will have a long and very successful career so taking Ballon d'Or with Yamal is sort of matter of time only.

From the quiet number of time I have seen Yamal played on the pitch he was having this energy called Genetic predisposition, which he has already broken most of the records and been winning accolades Including the Copa trophy in 2024, I think he was one of the best young players in the world, which I think this believe has set a new mindset for most young players and definitely I guess potential to win the Ballon d"Or is definitely on his radar.
