La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Velvet78]

Barcelona's squad is already strong. Is there any need to make too many changes in the squad? Barcelona will have Yamal  . Raphinha and Lewa in the attack. That is for sure. So there is no need for experienced players in the attack. However, a worthy replacement for Lewa should be found. Because Lewandowski is almost 37 years old now.

Barcelona has  talented players like Pedri , Gavi , Olmo and De Jong in the midfield. Each of them is capable of performing well enough, so there is no need for major changes in the midfield either.

However Barcelona can strengthen their defense. Barcelona's defenders have failed to play well in several important matches and made several mistakes. So Hansi FLick can strengthen Barcelona's defense by adding experienced defenders to his squad.

There are sometimes rumours out regarding Barcelona to be interested in big names for CF position. But I'm not sure whether they will go for any name this summer... Maybe Osimhen?  

I agree there is no need for a midfielder signing either. Earlier it was discussed that Frenkie de Jong might leave. But he isn't likely anymore and he is playing decently.

I agree with the defense part... Cubarsi is great. But I feel like Araujo isn't good. Iñigo is playing for a while yeah and he had a great season. But will he keep this level next time?

[Amphenomenon]

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.

Fati at Yamal age was good but Yamal is better. While I can say we didn't expect Fati to be in such state after his injury nightmare that halt his shine and now still fighting to reignite it, hopefully he does. We all can agree he was really good breaking records and the fact that he was given the number 10 at Barcelona spoke highly of it.

One of the likely thing that can stop Yamal shine is injury at this stage and we any sportsman won't hope for this eveb from rivalry clubs because he plays beautiful football as a really young lad.

He can likely be a generational talent who didn't fall off in the end because we have seen other talents praised by the World fall off, if he can be consistent even as Kylian Mbappe who has been on the spotlight in a young age as well and stepping up even in big stages as a young lad.

Barcelona was very successful this season because they have built their team around a young players that are looking for an opportunity to shine i believe that next season Barcelona can get to the final of the champions League because there are still rooms to improve in the Barcelona team

Most of the young players in Barcelona today are players who have not tasted the Champions League trophy so greater improvements must be made by Barcelona for a more brilliant next season. But we must not forget that many rivals will also do the same because the Champions League is a very difficult League because it contains the best teams from all Leagues. And this is indeed quite felt by Barcelona who have never won the Champions League again for the last ten years.

They have very talented and successful footballers but many of them are still very young. That's why they need to gain experience and it will take a few years.
We have seen a much better Barcelona than it has been for many years but how successful can they be in the Champions League? I think they need to gain more experience and make a few more transfers to be successful there. I think the current team is much weaker than PSG or Inter

In my opinion, under Hansi Flick, Barcelona young players can develop to be better every season. Barcelona success this season at the domestic level proves that with young players, they can meet expectations, and over time they will be experienced enough to compete in every competition. The Champions League semi final match against Inter Milan, gave a complete picture that Barcelona has complete attributes to be a title challenger next season.

With a wiser transfer approach, Barcelona can certainly recruit some new players to add strength in several sectors, the defense line should be their main priority going forward. There is no worry about the front line, Raphinha, Lewandowski and Yamal are able to score goals in every game. With a little polish, Hansi Flick will have a much stronger team next season.

I love how Barcelona are always looking to develop their young players and given them a chance to showcase their self in the field, this helps them to know potential players at young age and allow them to save a lot of money not looking for some already established players to add to their squad. This is what Real Madrid is doing now and it’s not encouraging for the upcoming academic players and it’ll not also encourage young talents to register for Real Madrid’s academy because they won’t get the chance to show their potential in the field.

I don't know what will happen next season, but with Barcelona's current form and with this their current squad, if they are able to add some quality players to their current team, it is possible that they can defend the two trophies they won this season.

This will be very much easy for them to defend is they keep up this good performance and when they add more players to their squad, they will be at their very best. I like how Barcelona triumph this season and this is as a result of their collective effort. I really feel that if not for Barcelona constraints in finance, they will have a more formidable squad than they are now. Real Madrid really need to work hard next season to stand a chance against Barcelona if not they will still not be able to achieve anything for next season.

You have a point in the view you’ve made about Barcelona this season. They have a very great team put together but when you want to consider them on the experience they’ve gain so far this season, then they need to add to their squad and be a more effective team than they are now to perform very great in the champions league. That may have been the reason they didn’t make it this far in the champions league, they need to add more players who are experienced and strong enough to lead them through the champions league.

I am not underestimating the current squad but after what they played this season, I’m very sure that in their next season, they will be better than they are this season. It all depends on how their confidence level grows from last season to this season, and I’m sure it will because young talents are always full of confidence to achieve greater heights in their career since they are still on their early stage of careers. This team can be their best again next season, they just need to be consistent in their form.

Real Madrid really need to work hard next season to stand a chance against Barcelona if not they will still not be able to achieve anything for next season.

Real Madrid will improve for sure next season because they recruited a good coach, Xabi Alonso and because they decided to not commit the same mistake done in the last summer transfer window so they consolidated the defence line and midfield.
Dean Huijsen for the defence line, in addition to Trent Alexander-Arnold, and there is talks about Alvaro Pérez but the clause is a little bit beyond what Real Madrid wants, they want it to be lower than €50m.
There is also other names that are in the list of Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City and the others.

We really expect this, Real Madrid defense and also the brain of the game and the distribution of the ball, hopefully Xabi can really realize it and arrange the most appropriate tactics for each match. This is Xabi's biggest challenge, as the new coach of a giant club in Spain.

Anyway, Mbappe, who was once linked with a move to Real Madrid to get a chance at the UCL final, was devastated to see his former team lift the UEFA Champions League trophy. It is unclear how Mbappe really felt, but he generously congratulated PSG on his Instagram.

From the list of players that have arrived at Real Madrid so far and the list of players that are linked to Real Madrid if they eventually get signed to the team with the current number of players in the them already, Real Madrid is going to be sound again to face any team that comes their way.

Xabi Alonso is a very good coach that will likely attract quality players to the team if he's able to bring in more quality players and they get used to the pattern of the team they will not just be ready to defend Barcelona but they will be a threat to other teams.

It may have not happened to him this season, but he still has a chance to lift it with Real Madrid. It's not like he's going to retire tomorrow. The team just needs to get a few things right, and they will be on the right track in a few years.

PSG on the other hand started playing as a complete team after getting rid of the star players they had tried to sign over the years (Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar). I guess they had some very good lesson learned from their past and used that to spur them to success this time round.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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.

Already eliminated and I think it is no longer interesting to say that they have a chance to beat Inter Milan. I am quite impressed with Barcelona's performance this season even though they are having financial problems, but in terms of competition they have always been able to perform optimally this season. If Barcelona is able to maintain the players they currently have, then in the next few seasons their performance will be much more optimal because in terms of experience, each young player will definitely develop further.

There are sometimes rumours out regarding Barcelona to be interested in big names for CF position. But I'm not sure whether they will go for any name this summer... Maybe Osimhen?  

Deco has been confirming his club won't sign a new striker.  He siad that after he asked by the journalist about Gyokeres possibility to go to the Barcelona. He said his club has lewandowski, and not interested in signing a new striker. So, Osimhen to Barcelona is just a dream. hehe

Osimhen could be a good choice. But it is not certain yet. Osimhen's transfer is still in the air. A few days ago I heard that Osimhen is interested in going to Al Hilal. Al Hilal has offered a big amount. However, in yesterday's news I saw that there is a possibility of a deal being finalized with Manchester United.
Victor Osimhen has given Manchester United the green light to try and complete summer transfer

I agree there is no need for a midfielder signing either. Earlier it was discussed that Frenkie de Jong might leave. But he isn't likely anymore and he is playing decently.
I agree with the defense part... Cubarsi is great. But I feel like Araujo isn't good. Iñigo is playing for a while yeah and he had a great season. But will he keep this level next time?

Barcelona's midfielders are quite talented. De Jong will stay with Barcelona. Barcelona's midfield has a lot of experienced players. Barcelona's midfield, which is based on youth, is capable of performing well.

Even if they do not make changes in the midfield and attack, Barcelona should definitely strengthen their defense if the team wants to dominate La Liga and the Champions League next season. Barcelona lost to Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League only because of a weak defense

That's right, it seems that Hansi Flick still has great confidence in Lewandowski ability, even though he is no longer young. I think Barcelona will not spend their entire transfer budget to recruit one player, we realize Viktor Gyokeres could be a long term replacement but his price is quite expensive for Barcelona current finances.
Some rumors also say that Barcelona wants to target Julian Alvarez from Atletico, I think it is not much different from the Osimhen rumor, Barcelona chances of recruiting the striker are relatively low.

I think Barcelona currently does not need other players for next season, because currently Barcelona's performance is very good, so Hansi Flick just needs to perfect the existing players and I am sure Barcelona's performance will be much better. Because in my personal opinion, Barcelona currently only has a few weaknesses in its defense, because it is true that in several matches Barcelona's defense looks less than good and this must be fixed. And in my opinion, fixing Barcelona's defense does not need to be done by bringing in new players, but in essence Hansi Flick must be able to make the defenders in Barcelona better at communicating on the field, so that when the opposing team attacks, every decision can be made immediately. Because in my personal opinion, this is the obstacle in Barcelona's defense. Because in the defense, good communication is needed when needed. So basically Barcelona does not need to bring in new players for the back line. And for Lewandowski's replacement, I don't think we need to think about it now, because Lewandowski still has a contract at Barcelona. So I think Barcelona can think about it later.

no doubt Barcelona squad is indeed strong but yes it is true that its strength is only in the front and middle lines but yes unfortunately in the back line it is true that Barcelona is still not good and of course this has been proven that Barcelona sometimes always concedes goals easily and not a few end up drawing and losing when they compete.

yes of course Hansi Flick must now try hard so that Barcelona's defenders play better and it would be more appropriate if Barcelona brought in strong and tough defenders. but if only Barcelona could bring in good defenders in my opinion it would definitely make Barcelona's performance even better next season. but until now I am not sure about which defenders will be recruited by Barcelona. but I heard that Barcelona is currently eyeing several defenders one of them if I'm not mistaken Jonathan Tah from Leverkusen and I'm sure if Jonathan Tah plays for Barcelona I think it will be suitable. what do you think?

[Adbitco]

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.

Frankly, I was among those sets of people who thought Mbappe wasn't going to be a fit for Real Madrid especially after the two rejections that he rejected Madrid only for him to see his salary increased in PSG. I was thinking he wouldn't fit and the club shouldn't have signed him. It even got worse when his performance declined in the first few months. But Mbappe happened to to put people like us in our place for doubting him. I'm happy for him as he has cleared our doubts.

How will Sevilla end up like this? 

- 21/22 season: 4th
- 22/23 season: 12th
- 23/24 season: 14th
- 24/25 season: 17th

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. 

They just can't find the right manager for themselves. Emery's times must be brightest ones for them. In his time they weren't amazing in the La Liga maybe but won the Europa League 3 times. They were joining the Champions League anyway.

It's a shame how much Sevilla has dropped off in the Spanish pecking order. Seeing the club got closer to relegation every season just tells how much they need a change in the club. They need to make fresh signings and bring in a good manager to revive this club else the coming season might see them get relegated since they finished 17th this season.

[Odusko]

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.

That means we are going to see him leaving for a better team eventually. Right now bigger teams do not need Defensive Midfield that much and that is why I am expecting them to do a great way of moving forward. If we can do that then we are going to see how Zubimendi will move forward a lot better team with time. He is only 26 years old, so he has a lot of time, so what we are going to see is, him reaching like 28 years old and move to some bigger club, that could pay him a ton of money and that should not be an issue at all.

We are going to literally be a lot better with time and should not be focusing on how to get a better result. His manager will have a lot of work to do if he wants more money, he should be constantly suggested to clubs with deeper pockets.

For now among Barcelona and Asernal, I think Arsenal need that player more and should work out the deal at least that amount is not too much for a players as such who's track record have brought him into the limelight of the season and ultimately in the transfer market,Zubimendi at this point will take the offers that best suit his young football career.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid is about to make significant changes with Xabi Alonso. His system and preferences are more different than Ancelotti. I'm already curious about next season. 

While they are making moves already, I wonder how Barcelona will answer. Will Hansi Flick find this squad good enough and not make any big signing or not? Let's see...

Deco has been confirming his club won't sign a new striker.  He siad that after he asked by the journalist about Gyokeres possibility to go to the Barcelona. He said his club has lewandowski, and not interested in signing a new striker. So, Osimhen to Barcelona is just a dream. hehe

Yeah, I also read that later on and got a bit disappointed.    Lewandowski was really great for his age this season. I have no problem with that. But how much longer he can contribute at this level man? He is about to become 37...
