La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Lida93]

~snip~

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.

Yes I agree that Barcelona has a great squad but I believe there's need to introduce more players into the team especially in defence, perhaps they could bring in a couple of experience players to assist in defence, especially when there's injury crisis such players might be of great essence to the team,  to avoid a similar situation that occured during the UCL semis when Kounde got injured and there wasn't any suitable replacement, so I think it wouldn't be a bad idea if Barca bring in some new players to help strengthen the squad depth.

[Olatundespo]

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.

Most of their players are excellent and they know how to play their roles properly. Barca may be able to overcome their financial problems but if they had played worse this season, the critics would have blamed their financial situation. They may be able to overcome their problems and rely more on the emerging and young players for the coming season. Most of the players that Barcelona currently have are capable enough for next season and can win more trophies for the team. It is expected that with time the capabilities of the young players will more increase and Hansi Flick will be able to come up with his new strategy.

Barcelona should fill its squad with good substitutes. There should be players who can be in the main squad but do not mind being a substitute. If they transfer star players to be a substitute, the chemistry within the team will be disrupted. That is why it is very important that the players to be transferred are young and of good quality. Young players do not mind being a substitute and dream of playing in a team like Barcelona.

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.

Sevilla are experiencing financial difficulties like Barcelona, ​​but their condition looks worse, reportedly there are many internal conflicts in the club top ranks. So I think it is not surprising that Sevilla performance has declined every season, we know the financial crisis has also forced them to cut player salary expenditures in order to comply with the FFP rules in La Liga.

With these conditions, I think Sevilla will find it very difficult to recruit new quality players, as well as to recruit a manager. Barcelona is helped by the La Masia academy, which supplies talented young players to the first team, Sevilla may need a lot of miracles more than just luck to be able to survive in La Liga next season.

[Slow death]

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...

Barcelona has a good attack, but if they are unlucky enough to have Lewandowski and Yamal with long-term injuries, then they have not won against anyone, so it makes no sense not to sign at least 2 more good attackers. Barcelona also has serious problems in defense, they should sign good players for defense.

It's funny that things are similar to Barcelona at Real Madrid. Real Madrid needs 2 more good forwards, unless Xabi does some miracle so that Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. start scoring a lot of goals like Mbappe. Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. are excellent players when it comes to dribbling and making assists, but they are not consistent in scoring a lot of goals.

Real Madrid had a good defense, but when their good defenders got injured the team fell, that's why Xabi is signing defenders. Barcelona should learn this lesson, because relying too much on their 3 forwards can cost them dearly if they get injured in the long run.

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...

The answer of Hansi Flick is already popping up.... Ex-season is the evidence . When Real Madrid signs Kylian Mbappe, everyone expects that they will be champions, they will smash Barca, blah blah. But at the end they pocket up 4 losses  from the Hansi Flick side show at the same squad depth. So stay calm and don't be too excited for the next season because anything can happen. Hansi Flick is already organized the team in an impressive way, and next season will be even better for the Catalan side because they are also seeking for some good players to add to their addition in the squad depth.

The rest of the points are that indeed Real Madrid made a beautiful stance to sign Xabi Alonso because his tactics are so good, and probably he will revitalize the team lackness. But anyway, let's see what happens next. Does he bring something else, or does he follow the same track as Angelotti?

There were a couple of guys here who expressed some doubt that Real Madrid would be like the unstoppable superior team in La Liga. I think they have several weaknesses and they had some unknowns like Kroos ending his career.

On the contrary Barcelona had all these rising players. Yamal played excellently already, Raphinha was getting stronger and stronger and Lewandowski was in great shape. If anything, I thought it would be a real fight between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but it quickly turned out that Real Madrid had weaknesses than I initially anticipated. Or to stick to the facts here, they were not able to make up for some of the injuries they had in their defensive game. But that can be hard for any team. Yet I think they urgently need to improve their midfield and they need to find a way to more properly put Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in the limelight because both players more or less like the same things and that can be a problem.

Yes, they really need new players, defenders to be precise because most of there loss and draw was due to poor defense and Hansi flick should work on it before next season else it will really affect them both in there league and other leagues and La Liga will be very strong for them because Real Madrid will want to correct all there errors and lapses next season. However, Barcelona attack is quite okay but they can still add like 2-3 attackers in case of replacement I mean that is what a wise and strategic coach will do and if they should depend on what they have now it will or might affect them next season.

[len01]

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. 

Certainly Alonso's strategies and tactics are more modern and suitable for Madrid. I won't go too far but I recognize that Alonso, while still in the Bundesliga without quality players, was able to bring his team to a consistent performance. While Madrid has many quality players and makes Alonso easier to carry out his mission in the coming season.

But how much longer he can contribute at this level man? He is about to become 37...

Looking at Lewandowski's physique, it seems that he is ready to perform as well as he did last season. He may start to decline in productivity by the time he is 39 years old.

If they transfer star players to be a substitute, the chemistry within the team will be disrupted. That is why it is very important that the players to be transferred are young and of good quality. Young players do not mind being a substitute and dream of playing in a team like Barcelona.

A very crucial position that needs a new replacement is the goalkeeper. There is indeed Ter Stegen, but after recovering from his injury, he seems to have not fully returned to his best form, so I doubt he can return to being Barcelona's main goalkeeper next season. Don't let this season's incident happen again next season, where Wojciech Szczęsny returned to Barcelona after last season he announced his retirement as a footballer.

And the rumor is, Barcelona is quite interested in bringing in Joan Garcia from Espanyol, but I doubt their rivals will let Joan Garcia go to Camp Nou behind the heating up of Barcelona and Espanyol's relationship. One other option might be Barcelona could bring in Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa whose contract has now expired.

Barcelona will want to fill their squad with good players. Because despite playing very well in the Champions League this year, they were unlucky to be eliminated in the semi-finals. They will not want to repeat this next year and will fight for the championship. Their ability to fight for this is directly proportional to the quality of their squad. When the best players are injured, the players who will replace them need to be good. Barcelona is aware of this and should make transfers accordingly this year.

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.

It felt so lovely to see Kylian Mbappe congratulate his former club and team mates for successfully winning their first ever champions league trophy. I know many have mocked him and posted mocking posts on social media which I think is unfair and rude. Mbappe’s actions speaks loudly of his love for his former club and his professionalism.

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.

Exactly, Kylian Mbappé's career at Real Madrid is still until June 30, 2029, so there is still a chance to do it. Although the current condition is still quite bad for him, because he will definitely be associated with PSG's success, even Enrique is considered to have given Mbappe a dig. However, that is part of the risks that he must face, no worry, he just must focus on Real Madrid.

Haha I see a lot of sarcasm related to Mbappe on social media his move brought good fortune to PSG   but yeah as a young player I know he has a lot of chances to make history and he just needs more time. We now know that Real Madrid are strengthening their squad by bringing in new players and their plans will continue into the next transfer window, several sources say that Real Madrid has prepared huge budget for several players. 2 players have arrived + Manager, there are still defenders and midfielders being negotiated

[SatoPrincess]

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.

His performance and good vision has been noticed by Arteta and Arsenal that is why he has been a major target for the Gunners since last summer. Rumor has it that a deal in principle has already been agreed with Real Sociedad for his signature as they plan to trigger his release clause and sign him. We are yet to learn of any official statement on unveiling but are hopeful the deal is progressing fine.

Yet I think they urgently need to improve their midfield and they need to find a way to more properly put Mbappe and Vinicius Junior in the limelight because both players more or less like the same things and that can be a problem.

I'm not sure Madrid supporters (or even Perez) saw how important those little margins would be. Barcelona outperformed everyone, hammered Madrid in both Clasicos, and had a system that made 17-year-old Yamal seem like a seasoned pro. When Flick took over, he made good use of his young team, pressed hard, scored 100+ goals, and helped Lewandowski break the 100-goal mark for the club. Madrid aimed for Galactico points meantime, but you have to wonder: is it a team or simply a dream lineup since their bench consisted of €40m players who hardly touched the field?

Another tale from the midfield. Losing Kroos, everything appeared shiny but stopped working when it really mattered. Bellingham fell into the ground; Valverde most likely still runs as we speak. Perez seemed fixated on the next great headline (Mbappe's presentation attracted more people than a small town), but he forgot that real football is won in the boring moments. The ugly winter games against Osasuna and the moments when you need someone to just kill the tempo

Madrid has to straighten out their tactical identity for next season, particularly with Xabi Alonso coming in. If not, Barcelona's new school will continue to surround them and all the Mbappes in the world won't be enough to stop another trophyless campaign

[Solokan]

This season Real Madrid must be willing if they can only finish in 2nd place, of course it's not like last season when they could perform impressively, including winning the UCL and Laliga trophies. Of course, this season Real Madrid is really predicted to be champions again because of the arrival of Mbappe from PSG which of course will add to the strength of the Real Madrid squad, but of course it's very unfortunate that Real Madrid's performance has decreased, especially because there are Real Madrid's mainstay defenders who are injured, of course it makes Real Madrid often able to be penetrated by opposing teams. But fortunately in Laliga Real Madrid finished in 2nd place this season, of course it can be said to be good rather than not being the runner-up champion at all.

Honestly, I miss the upcoming season because of course changes will occur because of course the Real Madrid coach has also changed. Now Xabi Alonso has been inaugurated and of course this is a breath of fresh air for Real Madrid and of course I also agree with Xabi's presence to replace Ancelotti, do you all agree that Ancelotti will be replaced by Xabi Alonso? but I also read the news that Flick also said that Xabi would certainly have the potential to be a big threat in Spanish football.

I can't wait to see the match next season because there will definitely be another fierce competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Are you also impatient?

Of course there will be some exceptions but I think Barcelona's squad is generally good. Especially La Masia has reinforced them with a lot of players. Since they have such a quality infrastructure, I don't think they will have a problem with players. Flick will manage to add a few players from the infrastructure to the main team this year. If this happens, there will be no need for transfers, new players will find themselves on the team

I am not so sure that Arsenal need a defensive midfielder right now as what we see is Arsenal need a pure striker to make their front line sharper.
The deal could be done and maybe just waiting to be completed and if in the end the Gunners manage to get the player then Arsenal will also need to bring in another striker.
Until the club makes an official statement maybe this is just a rumour and there is no sign of Zubimendi playing in the Premier League.

Arsenal really need to find the player they need because three seasons in a row they have failed to win the Premier League despite impressive performances, but they have not been able to maintain consistency.

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...

I don't think Hansi Flick will worry about that, because he will definitely remain confident with the squad he has in Barcelona. Because how could it not be, in the season that just finished Barcelona really made Real Madrid helpless at all. Because more than 3 meetings this season and the result is Barcelona always wins over Real Madrid. So if you look at that, what should Hansi Flick worry about, because I think Hansi Flick will be much more prepared to face Real Madrid next season. Because currently Hansi Flick must have really strong chemistry with the Barcelona players, so with that I am sure Barcelona will be much better next season under Flick's guidance. Maybe in my opinion the one who should be worried is Real Madrid. Because even though they are currently recruiting Xabi Alonso, there is no guarantee that Xabi will be able to make Real Madrid perform well.

Because Xabi could succeed in making Leverkusen successful, but this is not Leverkusen, this is Real Madrid which has many star players in it. That's why I personally am a little doubtful about Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso's coaching. Because in my opinion Xabi's achievements since becoming a coach until now cannot be said to be extraordinary. Unlike Hansi Flick, he has proven that he is a very great coach, the proof is that this season Hansi Flick managed to bring Barcelona to win several trophies such as the La Liga trophy, the Spanish Super Cup and the Coppa Del Rey. So the conclusion is that Hansi Flick should not be afraid of Xabi's presence as coach at Real Madrid.
