La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Xcode7]

Joan Garcia transfers to Barcelona from Espanyol. The young goalkeeper had a 25 million Euro release clause, which Barca used. The player will be signed for 6 years at 3 million Euro per year. A good transfer for the future. It doesn't exhaust transfer and wage budget much.
However, Barca currently have 4 goalkeepers. That means at least one of them will go. Most probably ter Stegen will say goodbye to the team. ter Stegen has a very high salary, which also makes his transfer to other teams difficult.

There are no transfer rumors for Marc-André ter Stegen so far but indeed if we look at the current salary burden of Barcelona's goalkeepers it is appropriate for the Barcelona team to sell Marc-André ter Stegen because in terms of his contribution he is no longer that big with the presence of other goalkeepers who have almost the same quality.

Joan Garcia is Espanyol's main goalkeeper who is still 24 years old, I saw his performance several times last season and it must be admitted that Joan Garcia has good potential, especially since he is still 24 years old, it is very possible that he can show better performance with Barcelona if given the opportunity.
This is a pretty good purchase made by Barcelona.

There are already 3 goalkeepers in Barcelona's squad. It is almost certain that Joan Garcia is going to be added to the Barcelona squad. At the same time, Barcelona will not keep 4 goalkeepers in their squad. There is no need to keep 4 goalkeepers in the squad. Also, since Barcelona is in financial crisis, they will want to reduce the costs of the club. Ter Stegen's wages are high, Barcelona did not get the expected good performance from Ter Stegen in the last season. So there is a big possibility that Barcelona will sell Ter Stegen. However, I hear rumors that Galatasaray is interested in buying Ter Stegen.

I tried to look for this news and I see that it is all just rumors. Yes, I see that Manchester United and Galatasaray were interested in Ter Stegen but I see that Ter Stegen is planning to stay in Barcelona and fight for the position of first goalkeeper. The difficulty is that Barcelona definitely does not need so many goalkeepers. But in my opinion Szczesny is clearly weaker than Ter Stegen. And if he does not have injury problems again and fully recovers I think he is capable of becoming the team's first goalkeeper.

I think we won't see the name of very big teams, the teams that want him would be the medium quality teams in Europe.
Fenerbahçe actually needs such a player, they can solve the finishing problem in the team and eliminate the goal problem. In this case, Fenerbahçe can also reach the championship it aims for in the league. Of course, there are no rumors about such a transfer, it seems like Fenerbahçe may have financial problems in its current situation

If he continues to stay in Spain, I think he will not be able to show his potential

The fun fact is that Trabzonspor was the place where Sørloth shined and showed his scoring skills for the first time.    His short time in the Turkish league was enough for him to reach the La Liga level.

If he stayed at Villarreal he would probably be happy. But when he saw a bigger competition in his position at Atletico Madrid naturally he got sad. Would he return to the Turkish league? I doubt that for now but let's see...

What do you expect everyone is always at where they mouth is, but we can't deny the impact that Messi have hard on the clubs despite the huge amount of salary that he takes home, his salary is in proportion to his performance and what he can offer to the club and not based on anything else, so we can say to hell with loyalty to a club what matters is how much a player get paid and what is his level of performance for the club, that is what is important.

I think to a very large extent you're  very right in your narration or will I say your point of view, for a player to be paid a perceived outrageous amount of money such player has what he does for the club that warranted such payment to come to him, a club can not pay such amount t any undeserving player, aside the performance there are benefits clubs makes from quality and sopicated player like Messi and other ones in other clubs, indorsement deals and many more things, I think agree with you when you said to hell with player being loyalto a club, in real sense most players understand that these clubs are out their for business, so at a time they decide to prioritize making money although also put much effort on building themselves the more but this aspect of build self will only come in, in the early age if the payer involved, after then, most of this palyers concentrate in money making.

Looking at Real Madrid's two new players at the Club World Cup I was quite happy to see Dean Huijsen. As for Trent Alexander-Arnold, he doesn't seem to be able to play optimally. Looking at Dean Huijsen's rating it seems that I wasn't wrong, on sofascore his rating is 7.5. Huijsen did play calmly. His bait was also very good. I was reminded of Toni Kros. I saw a quick flat pass from Huijsen that was very smooth between the Al Hilal players. On another note, it seems that the players are still having a hard time adopting Xabi's style. But maybe this condition doesn't matter, Xabi must dare to make experiments and maximize the players he has.

In the first match in the World Cup between clubs, Real Madrid had to be satisfied with only getting 1 point after being held to a draw by the SPL team, Al Hilal. I personally really didn't think that Real Madrid couldn't win this match, even though winning this match could be said to be very profitable for Real Madrid. But unfortunately Real Madrid wasted the opportunity. I also don't know for sure what caused Real Madrid's defeat in this match, but what is clear is that Real Madrid is still in the adaptation stage with its new coach, Xabi, or this could be a sign that in Xabi's hands Real Madrid could perform worse. But here I will not be pessimistic about Xabi, and I am more inclined towards the fact that Real Madrid players have not adapted to the strategy given by Xabi. But if for example in the second match that will come Real Madrid still has difficulty winning the match, I personally will definitely start to feel a little pessimistic about Xabi. Because if Real Madrid has difficulties again in the next match, of course this will make it difficult for Real Madrid to qualify for the next round.

Because currently in group H Real Madrid is in 2nd position, while in the first position is filled by RB Salzburg. So if for example Real Madrid draws again in the upcoming match, I think Real Madrid's potential to qualify from the group phase will be very difficult. So with this, Xabi must start designing a strategy that can be understood more quickly by Real Madrid players.

Adjustments and adaptations to the strategy and game patterns implemented by the new coach must be made quickly. They did not play badly, managed to get several opportunities, even though they only produced 1 goal.
In the next match, Madrid should definitely get 3 points. I do not expect the competition to be quite tight in group H Madrid should be able to get through the remaining 2 matches quite well.

Xabi will still experiment with his tactics among the players and it may take more time to build their style of play and relationships. He was appointed after a lot of scrutiny but he is expected to show his best performance and use the players properly. Another thing is that Kylian Mbappé did not play in this match and without him Real Madrid attack was a bit weak. The problem that is more obvious for Real Madrid is their defense weakness. I think the priority of the new coach Xabi should be to focus more on strengthening the defense. The draw with Al Hilal may be critical for him, he should also remember that the challenge of taking charge of the best team and mastering the best tactics should be the main goal of winning.

They are great talent that will help the team, I am very impressed with Dean Huijsen he is a really great player the way he plays, I like the way he is always attacking minded with his passes and also defensively he is very good. despite being the first game they showed how good they are, coming to think of it that's exactly what is expected from players signed to Real Madrid. Arnold is showing signs of not adapting properly yet but i believe in few games he would have adapted properly and show his best performance.

When a new coach is appointed it usually takes time for the players to adapt to the new system. Real Madrid have not yet adapted to his system but I am sure they won't take too long to adapt.

I don't know, but i can only blame them when they sell young and promising players.
They probably want to raise money to cover the huge expenses they have, i understand the situation
But nowadays there are other ways to give the player, they could do a loan for example

Dean Huijsen made a brilliant debut for Real Madrid, he did not look like a new arrival at all, while Trent Alexander-Arnold had to understand Real Madrid style of play better, even though his performance was not as expected in his debut match, he was still reliable. Regardless of the result achieved in Xabi Alonso first official match in charge of Real Madrid, he is still a coach who must adapt to his new club, he is not a magician who can change things in a short time.

Every weakness will be seen in this match, he can draw conclusions after the match is over, next he will do something more interesting to change the pattern of Real Madrid game after finishing a bad season under Ancelotti.

So with this, Xabi must start designing a strategy that can be understood more quickly by Real Madrid players.

At the end of the day, Madrid will qualify and will go further than most teams in the group. The quality they have in their team is better than the other teams. Madrid will only be knocked out if they're paired with a big European team in the knockout stage of the game. It's still very early to determine the kind of tournament or season Xabi Alonso's Madrid is going to have, but one thing is for certain: if they don't fix their midfield, they will have a lot of problems. They need a player that can sit deep and control the game like Kross, without that, its going to be difficult for them

I don't know, but i can only blame them when they sell young and promising players.

What are you talking about? Who sells young and promising players, and who wants to cover huge expenses?

Real Madrid fans are expecting too much from both the new players and Xavi Alonso because they were not happy with the way Ancelloti finished his career in the club just because they didn’t win any trophy last season, they are now expecting Alonso to do some magic just to make sure they performed above Barcelona and any other team in the world.

Yesterday’s match against Al Hilal was a test for Alonso, he has learnt from the match because he never expected Al Hilal to be that strong, and he made some substitutions that was wrong in my opinion. For him to draw this match against Al Hilal then how sure are we that he can withstand a fit Barcelona? This is just the beginning, let’s wait and see how the competition will end.

I don't think bad with Trent Alexander-Arnold debut for Real Madrid at FIFA Club World Cup match against Al Hilal, its first time match for with with Madrid and still short moment for him join training and need more chemistry. Not all top players will get easily chemistry for the first match and did you remember how many matches needed by Kylian Mbappe last season return to top performance? I believe Trent Alexander-Arnold will adopt as well as for upcoming match and he was not bad signing did by Real Madrid in this time window transfer opening.

Upcoming match, Madrid will face Pachuca and its important match if want easily get qualify to 16 of round after being draw at the first match.  So far only Madrid get one point as La Liga team after Atletico Madrid defeated by PSG on the first match. I don't expected too high with La Liga team will perform well and reach higher round during Madrid and Atletico looking for teams chemistry to perform well at La Liga season 2025/26.

Today, in the Fifa Club world cup match, Real Madrid vs Al Hilal will face these two teams, but in this match, many of us can predict that Real Madrid will easily win here. But if Al Hilal team plays well in the Saudi League and is in good form, then the result will depend on how well they can perform against Real Madrid. However, since Real Madrid team has a strong and great player in the team, they can easily win. And I think that Real Madrid team will not fight with much excitement in this match because Al Hilal is not so strong, so Real Madrid can easily win. Moreover, Real Madrid has an 85% chance of winning, I think this match is an easy win for Real Madrid.

We saw last match of Al-Hilal Saudi football team which they played against Real Madrid football team and that was two sided match because both teams did 1,1 goal in this match. García was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 34 minutes of the match and and we expected that Al-Hilal Saudi will try to hit back and we expected two goals from that team but that team could do only 1 goal in this match. Neves was a person who did goal in the first half and he did this goal at 41 minutes of the match and that goal was at penalty and no other player could do any goal in this match and match was ended with draw result.That match was organized in the Hard Rock Stadium and that was not lucky fur any team .

Dean Huijsen made quality performance at the Club world Cup against Al Hilal yesterday, if he continues with that energy he will surely become as good as Toni Kroos was in the midfield. The Netherlands born Spanish player will make a good center back because after watching him yesterday, he made accurate passes and he's always focused. Trent Alexander-Arnold didn't perform as we thought but some players find it difficult to adapt to the nature of play of a new team but in their future matches, he will show complete performance just as he did for his former club Liverpool. Xabi will also need sometime to also apply strategies that will work perfectly for the team. Regardless of the draw they played against Al Hilal yesterday, their defense tried if not they would have even lost the match.

[Volgastallion]

Horrible game made yesterday by Real Madrid, the players didnt even want to play this game, they lack everything, the power of will and seems like they dont want to be playing this tournament, and Valverde missing that penalty, come on....

About Ter Stegen rumours, i hope they are fake, because i dont want to see a high level goalkeeper like him on Galatasaray.

Xabi Alonso has a long time to stay with the players; he has all the best players in his team for him to experiment with and bring out the best of the team. I know that initially, it might be a problem for easy understanding but as they keep on practicing, they will understand his game pattern. Of course, Huijsen is a good player, and I know that his presence will be felt by the team because he is there to give them accurate passes and hold down the defense.

When playing at Barcelona it may be true that Lionel Messi's presence can have a significant impact on the club but not when he was at PSG.
Honestly when he joined PSG Lionel Messi did not have a significant impact, even though at that time PSG was filled with quality players such as Neymar, Mbappe and Lionel Messi himself, but they were not able to give their best.
When it comes to loyalty it is also the same, maybe Lionel Messi will not leave Barcelona in a bad financial condition or even he will not leave PSG.
Very few have we seen players who are really always at the club whether the financial condition is not good or vice versa.

PSG once played players like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe together in the club. Playing these three big stars together meant breaking the opponent's defense with the best strike position in the world, but in reality, PSG's dream did not come true. PSG may have made the biggest mistake by buying three important stars because even though PSG bought them with money, they had a conflict between themselves, due to which they could never perform well for PSG. But when PSG changed managers and released these three players, PSG started to do well, especially if we look at the last season of the Champions League, we can see that PSG's performance was excellent and they won the UCL title this season.
Although there may not be notable stars, PSG currently has good quality young talented stars who are currently doing well for PSG. So naturally, now PSG is not feeling the absence of Messi, Neymar or Mbappe very much.
