La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Agbe]

If you check his recent statistic, Lewandowski is no longer reliable. I think Barcelona have to looking for a new striker, they have few substitutes, but they need the main striker. Before it's too late, I'm sure the next season is the last season for Lewandowski.

Barcelona have Ter Stegen and Szczesny, they both are more than enough. They also have an amateur one which is Inaki Pena, he should be the future goalkeeper.

I don't agree with you at all that Robert Lewandoski is no longer a good striker or that Barcelona should replace him because if we look at the statistics it is clear that Robert is still a very good striker, but if we call him a goal machine, it would not be wrong that he is a little old now, but still his strike rate is very good. If we compare him with the new strikers, he is a very good striker and the  Barcelona team should completely rely on him because he is still completely reliable, but since he is also getting old now, I think Barcelona should start looking for a new striker so that the new striker can match the capabilities Robert has to some extent and he doesn't fail so much, but I think to say Robert Lewandoski is unreliable is completely wrong.

Anyone who is saying that lewandoski is no longer a good player to lead the Barcelona attack is not saying the truth lewandoski is still one of the best players in the world Barcelona doesn't need another strikers currently because lewandoski is still performing and scoring a lot of goals in the Barcelona team so I don't see any players currently that can replace successful in the Barcelona attack right now

I would underscore this, however I think what most people are referring to is the risk that comes with having a striker at that age.

But regardless of his age, I agree with you that as long as he does these numbers of goals and assists, there is no reason to let him fall and I personally believe Flick knows this. Flick will never overreact and let Lewandowski fall because he has a certain number of age. That is not going to happen and this is also why I think that Lewandowski will not end up in Saudi Arabia. Lewandowski is determined on the inside to win one more CL trophy and he enjoys to play with Yamal and Raphinha.

Such an amazing team that is so much fun to watch!

Lewandowski is no more young and in the upcoming months he will no longer be able to not only finish the season like it happened in the finished one but he will be unable to play full game. He might start the game or just join in the second half and the coach should diversify his assets in the attack line. Lewandowski will not stay relevant for Barcelona more than another season or two at best, later he will be a problem for them like everyone his age. Lewandowski is the best scorer for Barcelona but he has to know when to move to a new experience like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lewa is a very successful player and his career is full of success, but if Barcelona cannot make the impact he expects in his career, it may be better for him to leave the team next season. After a great year, he is of course hopeful for next year, but if he does not have a year as he expected, Lewa may be a substitute next year. The team definitely needs a good striker.

In case some people forgot quickly, Lewandowski had 34 appearance this season and had 27 goals and 2 assist with Barcelona, this is for Laliga. He had 11 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League and others like in Super cup with an aggregate total goal of 42 goals and 3 assist. To be honest, when we talk about players, let's say something with sincerity, there is nothing sincere about what he said, other teams will rush to buy Lewandowski without thinking twice.

Man doesn't look like someone that is old, he also have one year remaining contract with Barcelona till the end of the season and there is no any sign of leaving anytime soon. If he decide to leave Barcelona for another club, it's definitely not going to be Europe. He has earned what he deserve, will probably want to play for the fun and money too which I don't see as bad thing, he has play his dues in all the club he went to, performed extraordinary.

Sorloth is an absolutley brilliant striker, reminds me of the strikers from the early 2000's.
This atletico performance is every striker's dream, play the game like those whose lives depend on it. Kudos to Julian Alvarez who is also not just a striker, but a Prefect team player who assisted in last minute where he clearly could tap in and scored the goal but decided to pull an assist for Sorloth, what a very generous player.
Although it is clear that this was the Girona goalkeeper's first game in the first division.
He was very nervous and missed several balls.

What a great collective teamwork -- it's beautiful to see this union, although I'm not a fan of the Colchoneros, but I admire and appreciate Simeone's work, for always inventing (changing) something to keep the team competitive. Gran Entrenador "El tholo" Simeone.

Lewandowski still scores goals, more than a lot of young strikers at their peak, but he is not what he used to be, and Barcelona should be looking for a replacement. People always say "numbers don't lie", but that is not entirely true. Yes, Numbers don't lie, but Numbers don't tell the whole story. Lewandowski scored 40+ goals this season, but he is also limiting the team in ways that you have to watch the game to understand. I missed only 2 Barcelona matches this season, so I would know.
Today, Ronaldo has scored a goal, and everywhere is buzzing about how he is still scoring at his age, but try to analyse how he played and the goal he scored, it was a tap in in an empty net. Aside from that, he was really good in the game at all., its almost the same story with Lewandsoski. The team creates a lot of chances and he scores, but he can't help the team in other areas like pressing, link up play, quick movements, winning duels, and he's not sharp enough.  
In my opinion, Barcelona should look for a younger and long term replacement of Lewandowski this transfer window and next season should be his final season.

Barcelona have Ter Stegen and Szczesny, they both are more than enough. They also have an amateur one which is Inaki Pena, he should be the future goalkeeper.

I don't agree, all three keepers are not good enough. Sczency is old, Ter Stegen has gone through 2 surgeries in his knee and has been out in 2 long-term spells, plus he's old. Pena is just not good enough. They need a new young and long-term goal keeper and if the reports are to be believed, they've already signed Joan Garcia which is a very good deal.

And yet they are obliged to think about a new attacker, because Lewandowski is already an ageing player, and a very ageing one at that. Honestly I'm surprised how well he plays at his age, I think only a few are capable of it. So I'm sure that the coming season will not be a problem for Barcelona and Lewandowski, but further on - it's really worth thinking about, even if Lewandowski will not leave the team and will play as well

Robert Lewandowski is still a good choice, better than many of the others out there you would want to use as a striker for the club. His age may be getting higher but I stand to also disagree that he’s not a good striker. If Barcelona do not have a good replacement for Robert Lewandowski now, they should better keep him because there are no more good strikers out there that you can depend on. He has shown that age is just a number and he will be a top player they can depend on as long as he’s still actively playing with the team.

Barcelona are fond of using their junior team players instead of scouting for new players to be used for a players replacement, they also suffer from financial constraints, that may also have been parts of the reasons why Barcelona are always keen to their young players when looking for a replacement. That has really helped them to grow as a team and has helped them achieved a lot even in the last season. He’s still a good mainstay player for next season and they will still achieve great things as they did this season if they keep him on that striking role.

[Luzin]

personally believe that this season was exceptional for Barcelona because they have been able to win the La Liga title this season by offering thrilling football maybe that's what will be expected from them next season as well.

He inherited the players from Xavi, at that time Barcelona was in difficult conditions. Many financial conditions make flick have limitations to buy players. But that condition did not make Flick weak. With limited funds he did not buy many players, but he utilized the young academy players. The difficult conditions at the start of the season made many people underestimate him. But Barcelona's performance continued to improve and won 3 trophies. I think it's fair to say that he's been voted the best coach for his achievements.

[Just Say]

I agree with you, that Lewandowski is still worthy of being called a reliable striker in Barcelona. Because in fact he can still be a very sharp goal scoring machine at this time. Maybe if this season Barcelona did not have Lewandowski, I think his goal productivity would not be as much as it is now. Although unfortunately Lewandowski could not become the top scorer in La Liga this season, but this was due to the injury constraints he experienced.

Lewandowski is indeed 36 years old but his contribution to Barcelona is very high.
Runner up top scorer in La Liga with 27 goals, in UCL as many as 11 goals, and also in other matches.

And in the end he dismissed all rumors that Barcelona removed him because of age. In the end, he confirmed that he will still stay at Barcelona until 2026. He has won 30 titles and now he still wants more.

Of course it is undeniable that his contribution is much greater and I even think he is able to overcome all adversities. It is noteworthy that Barcelona won the triple title this season, where the contribution of this Polish striker can be claimed a little more, that's why he was on the list of top scorers in European leagues. Watching his game everyone will feel that he is in a very good position physically and mentally which is why he has been able to show great skill this season. We know that the Polish striker has been at the club for three seasons and he is proving his experience right, even after a multi-million euro offer from Saudi Arabia, it is certain that this experienced player will still remain at the Spanish club.

if you look at age, of course Lewandowski is quite old, but of course I also think the same as you that Lewandowski can certainly still be relied on to be the main striker because of course his strength and performance are very good, yes, the proof is that this season he can score 27 goals which of course only has a difference of 4 from Mbappe and of course this is proof that Lewandowski is still strong and of course Lewandowski can still be relied on.

it is true that Barcelona really needs to find a striker who of course has the same strength as Lewandowski or even better if his strength is better than Lewandowski. but of course until now unfortunately I have not heard any definite news about who will replace Lewandowski and apparently Barcelona must also consider its finances because of course it is not easy for Barcelona to be able to bring in good and expensive players. but there is news that Samu Aghehowa from Porto will be one of Barcelona's candidates to be Lewandowski's successor and if that happens, honestly I agree, what about you?

yes hopefully Barcelona can quickly bring in a replacement or successor to Lewandowski because of course it would be better than now if Lewandowski's successor was brought in because of course so that he can adapt better and learn from Lewandowski and other star players. yes now I can only wait for the latest news. do you have the latest news?

What Xavi has built does have a little positive impact, especially the young players inherited from Xavi and that cannot be denied, but it must also be admitted that Barcelona's success this season cannot be separated from Flick's greatness in concocting tactics and combining young players and senior players in the squad so that Barcelona's performance can be strong and consistent.

In his first season alone, Flick has been quite successful in making major changes to the Barcelona squad which has been slumping in the last few seasons, so no one doubts that next season it is likely that Flick will be able to make Barcelona much stronger and not only that, but Barcelona's era of returning to glory has returned.

Statistically Robert Lewandowski is still a good player. I can agree that he is old, but saying he is not reliable is where you got it wrong. Even with his age, he’s still scoring goals. Lewandowski is still doing a great job in Barcelona, and I believe even in the next season he will deliver.

You can say they should start the prep sorting of getting a new striker to fit in Lewandowski's position if he leaves by next season, but you can’t say he is not good enough anymore. The striker is obviously doing a good job. It’s rare to see a player of this age doing great as he’s doing. Barcelona can get a new striker as a backup, but Lewandowski is good.

Lewandowski's overall goal statistics this season are still quite good, but I agree Barcelona need to find another striker next season because no one can guarantee it and let alone talk about injuries.
Midfielders and wingers have enough roles to make the striker more dangerous because with the presence of measured passes, the striker can be more free to score goals.

He is no longer young so Barcelona needs to prepare another striker for next season and even if Lewandowski is not sold, they need to find a replacement to maximize the front line more consistently.

[bastisisca]

Flick (Barcelona), Jose Bordalas (Getafe), Manolo (Espanyol), Manuel Pellegrini (Real Betis), Michel (Girona), Ernesto Valverde (Athletic Bilbao), and Diego Pablo Simeone (Atletico Madrid). Those are the names of the candidates for La Liga's best coach for this season, but today we already know Flick is the winner based on the votes. Do you agree with everything he's achieved this season?  Flik with Barcelona this season got 3 trophies. In La Liga he won twenty-eight, drew four and lost six. In Europe he scored 102 goals. I think these results are quite real, I also see that Flick is good.

I think Flick has done a great job with barcelona this season

He didn't work magic but he won the Liga from Real Madrid and reached the semi-final playing some great matches so as a fan i would be totally satisfied with this season.

So is very good job done.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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.

But in this case it's different because Lewandowski himself is still in pretty good form even though he's no longer young and I'm sure for the next season he'll still be able to play at a good level as long as he can avoid injury. Likewise when talking about Lionel Messi because he was sold because the club was having financial problems not because of declining performance so this problem could have a negative impact on the club's journey. We hope this doesn't happen again and when a player is sold it's because they are no longer in good form so the team needs to find the right replacement.

[Solokan]

personally believe that this season was exceptional for Barcelona because they have been able to win the La Liga title this season by offering thrilling football maybe that's what will be expected from them next season as well.

I think so too yes Barcelona did perform very well this season because they won many trophies in Laliga and not Laliga and certainly this season actually not a few people predicted that Real madrid would be champions because of course Barcelona when viewed in terms of finances is certainly different from their rivals, namely Real Madrid but of course here Barcelona managed to prove that they are a strong team that has a good strategy and also strong young players. but what impresses me is that Barcelona always wins in El Clasico matches and of course this is an extraordinary achievement for Barcelona.

yes of course Hansi Flick is also certainly very great because he can make Barcelona players even better and of course Hansi flick continues Xavi's struggle well and of course now Hansi Flick is certainly very happy because of course he has succeeded in making Barcelona the strongest team this season especially in Laliga. and of course now many Barcelona fans are proud because they have a great coach like Flick.

but in my opinion we will not know what will happen next season. but yes it is true that Barcelona fans definitely want to see Barcelona like that again in the coming season. but certainly it will not be easy for Barcelona because of course all clubs will prepare everything for next season. but in my opinion Barcelona will return to being champions in Laliga as long as Barcelona can bring in great defenders so that Barcelona's defense becomes stronger.

Judging from his performance, Lewandowski can still be relied on to lead Barcelona's attack line, but management must regenerate as soon as possible because he cannot be relied on for much longer based on his age which is no longer young. I don't agree that Barcelona doesn't need a new striker right now, even though they have Ferran Torres in their squad, but the management must move in the transfer market to find a new striker who can provide competition in the front line. This strategy can increase their goal productivity because the players will try to compete by showing their best performance in order to get a place in the main squad.

[TelolettOm]

Raphinha and Yamal have played very well this season. Even then, Lewandowski is Barcelona's regular scorer. Without Lewandowski, Barcelona's attack is a bit weak. Barcelona will not want to lose such a talented and experienced striker before finding a worthy replacement.

Lewandowski, Yamal, and Rapinha are known as a formidable attacking trio at Barcelona. All three have clubs in important roles.

Check the following statistics:

Source: Lewandowski, Raphinha and Yamal stats this season

Those three is included in the top players with the most goals and assists, especially in La Liga, Therefore, Barcelona will try hard to keep them at the club, whatever happens in the 2025-2026 season, it will be much more difficult.
