La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Ahli38]

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.

There is indeed a clear difference in experience between Hansi Flick and Xabi Alonso. So yeah, I think so too. We probably can't expect too much from Real Madrid's first season with Xabi Alonso. because young coaches sometimes need time to adapt. Because I saw that Xabi Alonso also didn't immediately succeed at Leverkusen, but at the beginning he also made several adaptations which took quite a lot of time. Xabi Alonso is a young coach with potential whose career is undoubtedly long-term. It's just that in terms of current experience, Hansi Flick is clearly superior.

But there is one thing that caught my attention: Hansi Flick used to be the coach of Bayern Munich. And there Flick was successful and brought Bayern Munich to win many domestic championship trophies.
Then Xabi Alonso is also the coach who trains the Bundesliga team, namely Bayern Leverkusen and has succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to glory in the previous season even though this season failed. And now both of them are coaches of two giant teams from La Liga. And I think that's a very interesting coincidence.

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.

PSG won the Champions League title for the first time after Mbappe left PSG.
i can't say Mbappe's performance was bad at all, it seems he is kinda unlucky for PSG.

Now come to Madrid.
with Real Madrid he performed well in his first season
he quickly adapted to the Madrid squad thats really great.
I can see, he becomes top scorer in La Liga, individually he is very successful

But his luck didn't tire of tracing him 
With him Madrid could not win a single title this season
Also, Madrid lost all 4 matches played against Barcelona so sad

New coach Xabi Alonso will try to strengthen Madrid's overall performance for sure
no one denies Madrid's squad is strong, but even then, they could not win a single title. It is a pity.

Both are successful in the Bundesliga although there may be a slight difference, namely Hansi Flick is more successful with Bayern Munich because he gave more titles than Xabi with Leverkusen but still great because he brought Leverkusen to become a respected club. I can't wait for La Liga next season to start, I want to see if Xabi can adapt quickly enough at Real Madrid and whether he can unite the quality players of Real Madrid today because we know that the young Madrid players are still quite selfish. EL Classico next season might be very interesting.

Hansi FLick was the manager of a big club like Bayern Munich. Bayern munich is the strongest team in the Bundesliga. They want to build the best  squad by spending a lot of money. So naturally it was a bit easier for Hansi FLLick to keep the Munich  team's performance stable and win a lot of titles.
On the other hand, Xabi was the coach of  a team that we didn't know wel l. With the help of a mediocre team, he dominated the Bundesliga. He won the Bundesliga title. So Xabi Alonso and Hansi Flick shouldn't be compared so  quickly.

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...

Maybe Barcelona will keep him for one or two years more. They're financially bad, and need to think for twice before they sign a new striker, which is always expensive.

[Solokan]

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

Yes, I am also very curious about Real Madrid's style under Xabi Alonso next season because there will definitely be a different sensation from Real Madrid's game which will definitely be different from the style when Real Madrid was coached by Ancelotti. Yes, of course, I personally don't know what Barcelona will do. However, I see that Barcelona will appear confident with the existing players even though Barcelona has strong players such as Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha and others, but yes, if I'm not mistaken, Barcelona currently wants their squad to be even better, such as targeting defenders like Marc Guehi. Of course, we'll just have to see whether Barcelona will be able to bring in good players to strengthen Barcelona or not.

Yes, Lewandowski is very great because at his current age he can still perform well and of course Deco's decision in my opinion makes sense because of course Lewandowski in my opinion is still good and his current age is still not too old and of course his physical condition also looks good. of course Deco now they are more focused on finding defenders and midfielders and honestly I personally agree with what Deco did because that is what Barcelona needs right now. yes as a football fan we will see what happens later.

no one denies Madrid's squad is strong, but even then, they could not win a single title. It is a pity.

We have seen the success of Xabi Alonso last season. We appreciated Xabi's match tactics. The Leverkusen squad was not very strong. However, Leverkusen won the title from the unbeaten throughout the season. These are possible because of Xabi Alonso. However, the squad of Madrid is going to be much more difficult than operating the Levercusen squad.

First, there are plenty of star players in Madrid squad. Star players are hard to control. Secondly, Madrid will not only fight for the La League title. Madrid La League, Copa Del Rey and the Champions League will fight for all titles. So the BG Schedule is not difficult to keep the team's performance stable. We hope xabi will not fail. He got the responsibility of a renowned club in Europe.

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

That is how I see it. Those little margins were in fact quite big margins eventually. There was one moment when Real Madrid had a small chance in La Liga, but it wasn't because Real Madrid was so strong, but because Barcelona struggled for like 2 weeks.

They didn't make Yamal seem like a pro. That little boy is a pro.

It is more of a dream lineup and you can see they have too many big egos. I can not imagine Barcelona and Flick to not attend an event because their player doesn't get the prize. That is where the ego thing all begins. It is part of the club's identity and that can make them strong, but in the long run makes them weak. Vinicius Junior + Mbappe = problem. It is not that they argue with each other, but it's not what a team wants in combination either, unless the coach gets the impossible job done to turn both of them into a Dembele style player. Let me emphasize Dembele of today, not of 5 years ago.

And it wasn't only 2 clasicos. The last 4 matches, beginning on Oct 26 2024 was 0-4 for Barcelona, 2-5 for Barcelona in Supercopa, 3-2 Barcelona in Copa del Rey after extra time, and 4-3 for Barcelona when they were down 0-2 and made it 3-2 before the halftime whistle.

That is a portrait of the meeting of the two best coaches, and unexpectedly Hansi Flick, who is the best coach with a wealth of experience, actually admitted to admiring the young coach Xabi Alonso. We have seen how the two coaches competed in the Bundesliga when Flick was still at Bayern Munich and Alonso was still at Bayer Leverkusen. and of course with Alonso coming to La Liga to handle Real Madrid, this will give a new color to La Liga with the tactics he has. Which of course makes us impatient to wait for the competition between Barcelona X Real Madrid and Hansi Flick X Xabi Alonso.

That's right, Xabi Alonso will be faced with a big challenge next season, he must be able to unite the egos of star players in his squad, that is a difficult task for every manager. In addition, Xabi Alonso must find the right strategy to suit the composition of the available players. If Xabi Alonso chooses to implement a 3-4-2-1 formation, I think he will need a long time to adapt.
However, Xabi Alonso seems to be able to carry out his duties well. Xabi Alonso will also be highly respected by all Real Madrid players, both as a club legend, and as a manager who has won trophies in an unbeaten manner.

Anyone who watches football for a very long time will definitely know that Bayern Munich is one of the best team in Bundesliga, this is not because of anything but because they have the money to get any kind of players they want and that time they are able to gather first class players who are very strong and can compete worldwide. Bayern Munich is a kind of Club that require little effort from coach to win any trophy of their choice, this is because they have consistent quality players that are ready to compete. Bayern Munich has dominated Bundesliga for many seasons that why any coach that came shine like a star, that why Hansi Flick had more achievements than Xabi. Xabi Alonso just spent two seasons and it was so wonderful because Leverkusen that wasn't popular be came one. This shows that is going to be a great coach for Real Madrid.

Congratulations to Yamal on his new contract, but he has a long and difficult road ahead.
Although He deserved to have receive that 6 years contract extension after a magnificent performance for 2024/2025.
Yamal is set to wear the iconic number 10 next season, evoking memories of Messi at his brilliance.

The football world really needs talent like Yamal having that so many legends are retiring in a short span back to back. Lamine takes this class of superstars into a new exciting chapter -- maybe more explosive then than the last era passing the baton. The Kid has that magical left foot.
Next year very crucial for his body, Barcelona mostly will compete at 3 fronts all season followed by World cup, where spain mostly will go deep in to the journey.
Hope he can help Barcelona achieve more things next season and in the future, and I hope he becomes one of the best players in the future also.

[Lida93]

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.

Barcelona ain't really lacking that much of good players in their squad depth though except for the defence which was not that strong enough leading to their conceding of at least a goal almost in every match they played last season. They would have to increase the defensive strength in this window transfer and perhaps add to their goalkeeping position too due to Marc-André ter Stegen age. This can help them play more better come next season.

Maybe Barcelona will keep him for one or two years more. They're financially bad, and need to think for twice before they sign a new striker, which is always expensive.

In addition to being quite expensive to recruit a new striker again in the transfer market, Barcelona also already has a pretty good striker so the team can save a little budget for that. But if the one recruited is a player for another line, maybe it can be said to be suitable because Barcelona's defense and midfield also need a little improvement even though the players they have now are not that bad. But for next season, almost all teams will probably try to make deeper changes so Barcelona should at least do that too even if not too much.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Antony proved himself as one of the best, I feel bad for him cause he may be going back to united.
Although Betis wanted to sign anthony fully into the club, but they don't have enough funds, but sancho might come to united because he didn't perform there. Anthony on other hand was great for betis -- bro literally clutched knock outs in UEFA Champions League, and even in Laliga, he played like a beast... Likes of the draw against madrid and many other win.

The only problem was that he didn't get a club that suists him. Whatever he has suffered is because of man united as he is trying to regain his form. Although his performance wasn't as poor as what it was at United. Take a look back at his days in Ajaxs -- he is still young and have lot to prove.
I still give Anthony all the credit for his hard work and efforts in Betis.

Actually Barcelona isn't financially bad anymore. At least they can't be after reading Laporta's statement regarding it.

He says the team will earn 950 million euros. I assume this would be enough to make their finances much more stable than before. Sponsorships must have also brought them lots of money.

Now it is time for them to spend some money on signings but in the right way not to regret...

The Barcelona team under the current manager has got nothing to worry when it comes to the prayers in the team, they have good number of players ready to face and defeat any team they play against all they just need to do is to work on their defense which you clearly mentioned and get a back up keeper to assist their number one goal keeper so that Incase of injuries they will have a better goal keeper to stand in his place.

Barcelona's squad is quite strong. There are many talented young players in Barcelona. So Barcelona does not need to make any changes in the attack and midfield. Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha are very good and can score a lot of goals. Also, Barcelona's midfield is very strong.

However, Barcelona needs an experienced defender in defense. We have seen the weakness of Barcelona's defense in several important matches this season. Strengthening the defense will make Barcelona's overall performance stronger. Also, Barcelona needs a backup goalkeeper. Barcelona management does not need to spend a huge amount of money this season.

I am sure Lewandowski will still be a goal machine for Barcelona. He has players who support him to provide good passes.
Their defense line must be strengthened, but now the rumor is that Barcelona wants to bring in a new goalkeeper, and there may be competition for the goalkeeper position.
Next season, the competition for La Liga may be quite tight. Madrid will definitely experience many changes.

Yes, Robert Lewandowski is still reliable, he can serve Barcelona for another season because he did really well last season despite the fact that he is old. He has good playmakers to create chances for him and he score goals for fun. However, Barcelona can start finding a replacement for Robert Lewandowski from now so that the new striker can start blending to the team before Lewandowski will be tired because it might take them time to adapt to the new striker before he blends into the team.
