La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Minor Miner]

This year Barcelona should make a transfer instead of Lewandowski. Because it is unknown whether Lewandowski will perform as well this year. They can consider a good and young striker instead. Also, after Lewandowski leaves the team, this gap will be automatically filled. Robert Lewandowski did his best for Barcelona and he was really good this year. I really wonder who he will be with in the forward area next year. His partner will probably be transferred in the summer season this year.

Barcelona's contract with Lewandowski will expire next year. But I think Barcelona will be interested in extending the contract with Lewa. Because Lewandowski's worthy replacement is not yet in Barcelona's squad. Lewandowski is the main scorer of Barcelona's squad. So Barcelona will not want to let Lewandowski go before finding a worthy replacement.

I also think that Barcelona should find a worthy replacement for Lewandowski this season. We still do not know which player Hansi FLick is willing to take into the squad as a replacement for Lewandowski. Also, Hansi Flick may create a match strategy centered around Yamal and Raphinha next season. If he cannot find a worthy replacement for Lewa.

I think a good substitute for Lewandowski is also necessary. Because he was injured in some matches this year and did not play. There was no player who could replace him in his position when he was not on the team. A player who can play very well in his absence is needed. Barcelona can make the transfer of this player this year. Also, there can be many alternatives like this this year. For example, Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon can be a good alternative. They can play alternately with Lewandowski. In fact, I think Atletico Madrid player Sorloth can be a good substitute alternative.

Lewandoski has being a goal machine for a very long time and what baffles me is that even at his current age, he is still scoring more goals with ease. I believe that Barcelona will definitely get a replacement for him since next season will be his last in the club. The new striker will learn more from Lewandoski when he is on the field, because he should always be a substitute to Lewandoski from next season so that he can easily blend into the Barcelona game pattern.

They will definitely do that; it is important. Lewandowski is old, and after next season he will leave Barcelona, so getting new strikers by next season is going to be a wise decision for Barcelona so the new striker will be adapted to the players' style of play.

I find it very surprising how Lewandowski manages to perform to this extent and score goals like a young player at his age; players like him are rare, honestly. I believe Barcelona will find a replacement before he gets tired. La Liga is going to be tough next season; I can see every team are preparing ahead of the next season.

People are saying Barcelona should get a new striker and I wonder do they actually follow Barcelona. The new season can kick off and Barcelona introduce a wonder kid striker that will blow us all away. I have a feeling that Barcelona are holding their money because they believe they have that position covered and I am not even talking about Robert Lewandoski.
La masia has a history of creating solid player and I won't be surprised if we get entertained by a new wonder kid but let me hold my horses and wait to see if that happens.

Getting a new  striker is good but left for me they should promote their junior team strikers maybe one or two to the senior team so that they can be playing a supportive role and be learning from the elders so that when eventually lewandoski leaves they must have fully grown to maturity to play in the laliga and lead the Barcelona attack so personally speaking I don't support the idea of going to getting a new striker but developing the younger once should be their priority

Young players are not easy to rely on they are in experienced and it is difficult for them to adapt to Senior team football immediately they are promoted especially when they play for top teams like Barcelona it will be difficult to expect excellent performance from a young player immediately especially playing as a striker will be very difficult to adapt immediately.

I think it would be wise if Barcelona should get a Striker and not rely on the kid, the kid should be a substitute striker instead because every team is getting reinforcements and the season will be a tough and long one so I doubt if the young player can contribute much but as a substitute he will be able to grow and learn gradually without much pressure on him.

They actually need a striker to replace Robert Lewandoski because he can’t perform more than two seasons for Barcelona because of his age.

They might have a striker to unfold, but doing that as quick as possible will be better because when I checked the Barcelona’s squad, in their list of attackers, he is only the striker I can see, others are all players that play from different side of the wing which means without the only natural striker they have (Lewandoski), others will be forced to play in the striking zone which is not what should be done.

Barcelona finished this season really well, they won the Laliga title and reached the Champions League semifinals in the just concluded season, therefore, they stand a chance to sign any striker of their choice because I don’t think they are financially down now because of the income they get from their performances last season.

Age used to be a factor for players to go into early retirement but that doesn't apply for today. It's very common to see players aged and still be performing better than young players. If not for the injury Lewandowski had this season, he would have been the highest goal scorer but the injuries caused him a lot and because of that, Real Madrid make use of that as an advantage to give everything they got to support him to over take Lewandowski as the highest goal scorer.

If you look at the market right now, it's not like there are competent striker that can do the job like them. Unless you are ready to build one from scratch, you can't have a number 9 that will help you with goals unless you want to break millions of dollars to buy one from one team. What is the use of breaking the bank when you can just use the one you have since they don't have any fault. Lewandowski will still be in Barcelona after next season in my opinion.

[AYOBA]

You are certainly right that if Robert Lewandowski had not been injured, he could have been the top scorer in La Liga this season. However it seems that the Barcelona manager is now most focused on a left winger and a very talented goalkeeper, so they may be looking to buy more players. Barcelona Football Club was progressing brilliantly in all aspects this season but they were defeated by an Italian club in the semi-final match of the UEFA Champions League, I think in that match they were able to feel that they needed a left winger. Even then it is correct that they may not be looking for another player to replace Lewandowski yet.

This season Barcelona performance was very impressive they in the La Liga league this season. I was even surprised that they Italian are able to defeated in the champions league, but there’s also try as their keep their performances so strong and and make it to the semi final and in football know matter how the strong teams are a team that nobody expected will later defeated them.

Seriously that’s the only things that the Barcelona manage focused on, but why is only want to focus on the lefts winger? It’s that he doesn’t have a plan buy more players that’s why is only want to keep the wingers that lefts for the teams. Is good to keep the remaining wingers so standard, but that doesn’t mean that he will not sign more players again.

Maybe this theory is now getting bombarded with questions because everyone thought that the time of Ronaldo was over, then they thought the time of Messi was over, now they think the time of Lewandowski is over. My standpoint is that as long as they score in these ranges that no other striker in the league achieves, how is the idea that the player is not worth it anymore, correct? They are delivering what is asked from them. In that regard Lewandowski is on Mbappe level. There is no good reason to kick him out just yet.

[red4slash]

Age used to be a factor for players to go into early retirement but that doesn't apply for today. It's very common to see players aged and still be performing better than young players. If not for the injury Lewandowski had this season, he would have been the highest goal scorer but the injuries caused him a lot and because of that, Real Madrid make use of that as an advantage to give everything they got to support him to over take Lewandowski as the highest goal scorer.

Actually, if we talk about the problem of early retirement or still having a career in a professional, something like this depends on the players themselves whether they feel that it is enough to be a professional or not because after all we still have great names who are still active in their professional athletes even though they are no longer young, we take the case of Cristiano, Messi, Modric and of course Lewa who are currently still active in their professional careers and it can be said that their performance is still very stable for an age of over 35 years.
But on the other hand, there are also people who feel that their careers are enough even though they are not too old, such as Kroos and Lahm who decided to hang up their boots even though their performance is still very much needed and is still one of the mainstay players in terms of their club or even their national team.

By looking at this, we can certainly realize that the decision to retire is not determined by age alone but by their own confidence whether their achievements are enough or not and there is actually no prohibition when we want to decide to retire at what age because it is not a benchmark but about the decision to determine their beliefs (the players themselves).
Currently, Lewa is still very much needed regardless of Barcelona which is still having financial difficulties, Lewa's role as a finisher in Barcelona is still very good so this is a very good signal for Barcelona because this season they still have a leading striker even though the risk of a decline in performance may still be there but as long as it can be useful for the club why not with their short-term contract.

[Alpha Marine]

Barcelona's contract with Lewandowski will expire next year. But I think Barcelona will be interested in extending the contract with Lewa. Because Lewandowski's worthy replacement is not yet in Barcelona's squad. Lewandowski is the main scorer of Barcelona's squad. So Barcelona will not want to let Lewandowski go before finding a worthy replacement.

Extend Lewandowski's contract beyond next season? Why would they do that? He will be 37 this year and 38 next year. Why would Barcelona want a 38-year-old leading their attack?
In my opinion, it was a mistake to give him a one contract extension. This season should have been his last season. He scores a lot of goals, quite alright, but there are other areas of the game he lacks, and there are other young strikers who can provide that.

The 40+ goals he scored this season do not tell the whole story. He was good, but not worth keeping for another season because he is slower and not as technically sharp as he used to. He's declining, and next season, with age, he might get worse.

Also, after Lewandowski leaves the team, this gap will be automatically filled. Robert Lewandowski did his best for Barcelona and he was really good this year. I really wonder who he will be with in the forward area next year. His partner will probably be transferred in the summer season this year.

Robert Lewandowski is still quite good, although he is quite old, and he still has a lot of finishing skill to make the score for his team. This season he spotted 27 goals for Barcelona in the league competition, which is quite outrageous. So Barcelona should need to keep him for one more year because right now Barcelona is stuck in financial criticism, due to which they can't sign any player. Next year if they grab the UEFA Champions League titles, then maybe they can recover his financial sect, and if they maintain their efficiency in the financial sect, then apparently he will sign a solid replacement for Robert Lewandowski but honestly right now Lewandowski is better.

Apart from this, Barcelona has done the deal for Goan Garcia, and maybe in a few day Barcelona will officially announce his deal. Like this is the first sign of Barcelona and also they are on negotiations with Marcus Rashford. Let's see what happens next.

16th January 2022, the date that changed everything for Sevilla. Also, the biggest circus seen in spanish football for a long long time. They went from being a good team to almost relegating, making a big joke out of the team. That was the exact date it happened.
Sevilla has only been known for being the Europa League Merchants in the 21st century for a long while now, which probably doesn't pressure enough to create a better stability in the club.

That's exactly how to perfectly describe the club's status. Although Sevilla, after the crucial 2-0 win against Espanyol last friday has been trying to prove themselves capable of ending on the top half of the table at 17th place barely escaping relegation, and to recover from it next season.

Previously I heard several rumors regarding Lewandowski who would be released in the transfer market this season. Fortunately, this seems to be just a rumor that is not true. Because it looks like Lewandowski will remain at Barcelona and remain one of the mainstay strikers for this team.¹
And that is one thing that makes me feel relieved because I still believe Lewandowski can still contribute well to this team. Although, at his current age, he is still prone to re-injury. And for this reason, Barcelona still has to prepare players who can replace Lewandowski when Lewandowski is not in his best performance or when he is absent due to injury.

So Barcelona will not want to let Lewandowski go before finding a worthy replacement.

I also think that Barcelona should find a worthy replacement for Lewandowski this season. We still do not know which player Hansi FLick is willing to take into the squad as a replacement for Lewandowski. Also, Hansi Flick may create a match strategy centered around Yamal and Raphinha next season. If he cannot find a worthy replacement for Lewa.

I think a good substitute for Lewandowski is also necessary. Because he was injured in some matches this year and did not play. There was no player who could replace him in his position when he was not on the team. A player who can play very well in his absence is needed. Barcelona can make the transfer of this player this year. Also, there can be many alternatives like this this year. For example, Gyökeres from Sporting Lisbon can be a good alternative. They can play alternately with Lewandowski. In fact, I think Atletico Madrid player Sorloth can be a good substitute alternative.

indeed Lewandowski of course even though at the age of 36 if I'm not mistaken but he still has strong strength, but yes it is true I also have the same opinion as you that Barcelona is certainly very important to bring in a replacement player for Lewandowski so that when competing Lewandowski can play not 90 minutes full if for example he is tired and of course if a new player is prepared to replace Lewandowski of course that is a good thing and of course it is true considering that recently Lewandowski has been injured of course that makes Barcelona have to be able to bring in a replacement player for Lewandowski because of course it is possible that Lewandowski will be injured again.

yes I also see Gyokeres is indeed good to replace Lewandowski as well as Sorloth, but in my opinion it would be more suitable for Haaland because I am sure that the duet of Haaland, Yamal and Raphinha will create a good game. but of course we'll just see what happens later and now of course we'll just see who will replace Lewandowski and of course I hope Barcelona can choose the right player. I am really curious now about what Barcelona will do to strengthen their team in the future.

He left Bayern Munich when they thought he was old enough and would become more sensitive with injuries so they denied to satisfy his conditions for a new contract from its length to salary. At Barcelona, Lewandowski has spent recent years with considerable contributions for them and together they have won some big titles.

This season shows that Lewandowski can still play well but there is more signal of his worse physical fitness. He has become more sensitive with injuries and I believe it will be a trend in next years. Like other players, he can not win against ageing effects forever and we saw it with Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo and soon Lewy will have to face and fail with this challenge.

At his age, I think of a good adventure to Saudi Arabia, play there and enjoy good salary in very last years of his career. He has won many titles and has no regret to leave Europe now but with Barcelona, it will not be easy for them in replacement of Lewandowski.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

It's certainly a logical decision, but it doesn't seem like the right decision to me. Giving away a player who has given so much seems really ungrateful to me, just because he has become big and risks many injuries.
The regret is that he almost won the Golden Ball, he would have deserved it even if he were Benzema.

There will always be victims of every player who is no longer needed and the injuries he has suffered could also be a reason why Barcelona need a much better striker even though they seem to be treating him very harshly. The club's financial situation can also sacrifice one of the players and that's what happened to Lionel Messi before even though he was predicted to be a living legend for Barcelona, but in the end he had to be released for certain reasons. Lewandowski is indeed a good type of player and even though he is no longer young he can still play at a good level, it depends on Barcelona how they treat him next season.

Regeneration in the center striker position must be done immediately considering Lewandowski age is no longer young, automatically Barcelona cannot rely on him much longer. Ferran Torres who has been a substitute in this position, has not yet met the requirements to enter the main squad due to his unstable performance. Viktor Gyokeres, Julián Álvarez and Rashford have all been linked with Barcelona, ​​but there is no word yet on who will replace Lewandowski. Viktor Gyokeres is perhaps more deserving of his incredible performances this season.

That normally happens because when someone cannot give benefit to the club, he will be asked to leave the club. Even if the fans or people don't like the decision, they can't do anything. The owner and all those related people to the decision making will do their best to save the club and maintain their position. Getting old is one of many reasons why the club let the player leave the club. Well, those players need to think about moving to another club or retiring from what they love and starting a new life. That will be better for them.
