La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Solokan]

Barcelona had a fantastic 2024-25 season, although it would've been even better if they won the Champions League (they were the favourite).
Real suffered a bit of humiliation, especially considering they lost all direct games against Barcelona (El Clásico), but they still have a chance to salvage their reputation and make their fans happy by either winning the FIFA Club World Cup or, at the very least, achieving semi-finals or the final.
The prestige and the prize pool of FIFA CWC is similar to those of the Champions League. I believe the total prize pot is around $1 billion, so not something to be ignored.

it's true that Barcelona went through the 2024-2025 season well and of course they really took revenge because in the 2023-2024 season Barcelona failed to become champions and finally in the 2024-2025 season Barcelona proved that they could play better and finally became Laliga champions. and really in the El Clasico match Barcelona was really great because they always won. but unfortunately Barcelona did not win the Champions League even though it was true that many at that time favored Barcelona to become champions.

but yes it's a shame that Real Madrid, who were predicted to become Laliga champions again at that time, but unfortunately Real Madrid failed to become champions because Barcelona was stronger and it's true that many Real Madrid fans were disappointed at that time because Real Madrid always lost in El Clasico matches. but it is true of course that currently Real Madrid has advanced to the last 16 in the Club World Cup of course there is an opportunity for Real Madrid to be able to become champions and save their reputation as long as Real Madrid must be able to consistently win when competing and of course we'll see whether Real Madrid can become champions or not in the Club World Cup this season.

but for next season in Laliga of course it will be more exciting because Real Madrid and Barcelona will compete tightly again and honestly I want to see the El Clasico match soon do you too?

[KTChampions]

It doesn't look like Athletic Bilbao has complained about the situation.    The source is Fabrizio Romano again so this very awkward...

He is still keen on completing the deal. Barcelona is only needed to pay for Nico's release clause and that's it. They just don't want any installments like I said before.

I hope Barcelona finishes it without making a regulation breach.

It seems that Williams wants guarantees from Barcelona so as not to end up in a situation like Olmo, who they could not register for the entire season. I would say that this is an adequate condition. The problem is that Barcelona cannot give these guarantees since it does not depend only on them, in general, it is a confusing situation. I haven't been following Barcelona's financial problems for a long time, but as I understand it, they are still serious and are constantly balancing on the edge when making up the budget.

[CryptoYar]

You are right Williams wants assurance from Barcelona because they have had trouble registering players before like Olmo and no player wants to join big club only to be sidelined by financial rules. Tricky part is Barcelona can not easily give these guarantees because they are still facing serious money problems and strict league rules constantly barely meeting their budget. It is complicated situation and Williams hesitation makes perfect sense given Barcelona known financial struggles.

[Akbarkoe]

I don't know if Barcelona came prepared for Madrid in this last concluded season because the way and manner the handle every game concerning Madrid is just different from previous season and I wonder why they that's Madrid hasn't been productive when they play against Madrid and it is clear that Barcelona dominated Madrid in every aspect last season and if care is not taken, it will continue next season. Madrid are doing well, let's leave it that way, but in the FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP they are not up to speed like we know them the season they won the champions league and I think I'll have to blame it on injury and playing players in a different position, imagine the back line of Madrid, is only 1 player that you can say if a defender, the rest are midfielders that are converted like Tchouaméni, he hasn't been at his best even in this competition.

in this summer transfer market it has been confirmed that nico william has joined barcelona, ​​​​and of course this will further strengthen barcelona's attack line, moreover nico has quite good chemistry when playing with yamal, and we can see that when the two players play for the spanish national team. and to anticipate barcelona's attack line, of course as you said that real madrid must strengthen its back line again. if not, it is possible that madrid's back line in the next meeting with barcelona will be messed up by the two boys. and i quite believe that xabi alonso is able to overcome this.

And back to the club world cup, in the last 16 real madrid will face juventus, and of course this will be quite an interesting match to watch, moreover it has been a long time since the two teams have met, for the last time madrid and juventus met in the 2023 season, and that too in a friendly match.

[irhact]

One of the reasons for adding Nico w illiams to the squad is Yamal. We know that Yamal and nicowilliams are friends. And we have seen the performance of this pair in the Spain squad. And  this is probably why Laporta is interested in adding Nico Williams to the squad.
Also Barcelona will have to start trying to create a replacement for Lewandowski from now on. Barcelona's contract with Lewa is about to expire next season. Also , Lewa is almost 37  years old now. In the future, we will see Nico- Yamal- Rafinha in Barcelona's attack.

Nico William in combination with Yamal and Raphinha can give Barcelona lots of success. Clubs no longer need strikers to get goals, we have many wingers that are contributing to the goal scoring in their clubs and have being doing that very well for so long now. Barcelona already has a strong squad and that's showing in the way they were winning games last season. This season, we'll watch them become more stronger and dominate their league. Lewandowski still has about two seasons left in him before he retires, a new striker from the academy can be developed to replace him. I don't like it when clubs spend money buying players when they can develop them from the academy.

In the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid is still the best and has quite a lot of opportunities to win the trophy. In every match Real Madrid is always the favorite team, and when compared to other matches in the Club World Cup, Real Madrid's matches are always filled with fans, which shows that Real Madrid is a big team wherever they play.

Real Madrid performed well in all three matches of the first round. Although they could not win against Al Hilal. Real Madrid got easy wins against Red Bull Salzburg and Pachuca. Real Madrid is an experienced team. There is no doubt that they are the favorites for the Fifa Club World Cup. However, in the first match of the knockout round, Real Madrid will play against Juventus.

Juventus is one of the most experienced clubs in Serie A. We know that the team still has some weaknesses. However, even then, it will not be an easy task for Real Madrid to defeat Juventus. Madrid will definitely have to play with their best XI and will definitely have to perform well. Although Madrid has a high chance of winning against Juventus, if Madrid makes any mistakes in the match, the road to victory will become difficult for them.

Nico Williams is from Spain so what do you expect, that Barcelona should leave their own soil player and go for an Africa player, NO I don't think so. However, Nico Williams collaboration with Yamal will be great in the attack because I have seen both players in action when they were playing alongside with each other. Joan Laporta knows what he wants.

The collaboration between Nico Williams and Yamal will produce a more deadly attack if all the other players in Barcelona are in good enough condition. Because last season we all saw how strong Barcelona was when all their players were not injured, so Barcelona's strength could be even better if the collaboration of Yamal and Nico Williams can run smoothly next season. And I hope Barcelona's eternal rivals have also done something good so that the competition in La Liga can be much fiercer than last season.

I don't think it's about Ademola Lookman being an African. Nico Williams has been on the radar of Barcelona for a long time. Don't forget that the coach will determine the kind of player he needs based on his strategy.

The Nigerian player will cost about €21.5 21.5million to get, while Barcelona will need about €58 million to land the Spanish player. But you also need to consider the ages of the two players.  Lookman is 27 years old and nearing the end of his career. While Nico is just entering the most active stage of his career at 22 years old. The club could make more money from him if he improves and they decide to sell him in the future. Lookman seems to be the target of Arsenal.  Mikel Arteta is interested in bringing the Nigerian to the Emirates to boost his squad.

The competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will be even more competitive next season because both teams have made several efforts to bring in a number of players so that the fight for the La Liga title will be even tighter. Real Madrid will try to make several adjustments with their new coach while Barcelona will be much more solid because they are already well connected with the coach. La Liga next season will still be about rivalry and I am sure that both teams will compete for the title because if you look at it, there is no other team that might be able to match them in terms of fighting for the title.

An interesting game is going to be held in the next season for the La liga title which is between Real Madrid and Barcelona. I think it will be a healthy competition for football fans. Because both teams are strong. However Real Madrid has to fix some of their adjustments and on the other hand Barcelona is going in a perfect way. And the competition for La Liga only these two teams fight because there is no other strong opponent has been seen. But the one thing is also remember that Barcelona's dominance can't be ignored in comparison with Real Madrid. But the final results will decide the strong one. Barcelona has some plus points then Real Madrid that they pursue their weaknesses and their well doings.

Personally for me I don’t think Barcelona need Nico Williams, if they wanted a left winger they would have gone for Ademola Lookman who is cheaper and more efficient. But then, I think they’re bringing him in based on his relationship with some of the barça players and he already has a sync with Lamine Yamal so adapting wouldn’t be a problem.

The player wants to go to barça, Athletico Bilbao tried to hold him down last season gave him the no.10 jersey but they might not be able to hold him any longer.

Barcelona will need a scorer if Lewandowski leaves Barcelona. Nico Williams is talented. But can he play in Lewandowski's position? Also, does Nico Williams have the ability to score as many goals as Lewandowski?

Nico Williams only scored 5 goals and 5 assists last season. So I don't think Barcelona will get a good performance from Nico, as Barcelona needs a scorer. Even then, Barcelona will probably add Williams to the squad at the request of Yamal and Pedri. But I think Barcelona will need to buy an experienced scorer again in the next few seasons. However if williams' performance  improves with the help of Hansi flick, the scenario will change.

Despite the rumors i find it difficult to believe that Real Madrid are willing to let Rodrygo leave the club. Real Madrid are not needing the money they will get from selling Rodrygo to use buy another player or for paying other players, Madrid have enough to pay all players and sign future deals without worry, something we won't see them do is throw away important players like Rodrygo, i doubt the deal for Rodrygo to go through.

Real Madrid is a club that does not want to keep extra players in the squad. If Rodrygo is not in Xabi Alonso's match strategy, then Madrid management will not think twice about selling Rodrygo. I would say that Rodrygo's future depends on Xabi Alonso. Perhaps Alonso does not like Rodrygo's style of play.

However, my question is which player Madrid is willing to add to the squad as an alternative to Rodrygo. Because if Rodrygo leaves the squad, there will undoubtedly be a big gap. It is not possible to depend on only Vini and Mbappe for the entire season. Since Madrid has a busy schedule. Madrid competes for every title in the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey. So it is not possible to maintain stable performance for the entire season by depending on only two forwards. As well who is their alternative if Mbappe and Vini face injuries? After finding a suitable replacement for Rodrygo, the decision to sell Rodrygo should be taken.

I think Xabi Alonso is still not intending to sign a few more players. He already has a lot of players in the squad depth, and adding more players will definitely not be a good step. Anyway, Rodrigo is a good player he has a lot of qualities, and also he is a young player. So if Xabi Alonso keeps him for the rest of the season, then probably he can also be a beneficiary for his team.

Apart from this, if we talked about his transfer rumors, then we can clearly monitor it well that Arsenal is the one that is strongly interested in his move. Like Mikel Arteta is the one who is in an intense push to sign him for his team. Now we don't know what will happen next. Will Xabi Alonso keep him in his team, or will hesell him for a business...?

He is not attending anything because he is taking his time as he should be. He has benefitted a lot from being a calm perspn, not going after what everyone screams for. I hope he will be doing the same for his entire stay at Real Madrid, but one thing is for sure, if they don't win titles, Alonso will get to know very quickly that he will be fired regardless of how much people like him, it doesn't matter anymore.

Those times are over, he has to win or otherwise he will lose.

[Adbitco]

I think Rodrygo with his position as a right winger is still very suitable to stay at Real Madrid. Because in the previous season Rodrygo was able to appear regularly at Real Madrid and scored quite a lot of goals and assists. This proves that a coach like Ancelotti really trusts Rodrygo. So Xabi should also think in that direction and keep Rodrygo at Real Madrid. Because in the Club World Cup, Rodrygo also made quite a good contribution with Real Madrid. So that should be a consideration for this matter. Because currently Real Madrid does not have a truly great right winger. Although there are Brahim Diaz and also Arda Guler. But I personally am more convinced that Rodrygo is a better right winger than those 2 players.

So I hope Rodrygo remains at Real Madrid. Besides, I think rather than thinking about Rodrygo, I think Real Madrid is better off improving their midfield. Because in my opinion, currently there are no truly reliable midfielders at Real Madrid. Because as we know, Tony Kroos is no longer in Real Madrid and Modric as a senior midfielder in Real Madrid has been confirmed to leave this season, because his contract was not extended in Real Madrid. So with that I think Real Madrid must focus on improving their midfield. Because in my opinion Real Madrid's midfield is currently not as good as when Tony Kroos was still there.

Talking about Toni Kroos, yes his ab excellent player but his retired now and Real Madrid has moved on. They even won the league and Champions League without him in the team, so yes the club has moved past that, every player brings in their own flair to the team and we should appreciate what the current team is doing now. We should stop looking for players that plays exactly how a particular player plays instead we should look for players that fits into the role of the supposed position they are playing. Till date no Barca midfielder has been able to replicate what Xavi, Iniesta and Bosquete did for the team but they team has moved on. For Rodrygo, I think the clubs management wants to cash in on him because they've even reduced the transfer fee that was initially attached to his name.

However if williams' performance  improves with the help of Hansi flick, the scenario will change.

Barcelona should be looking for a center forward to be plotted as Lewandowski long term successor. Nico Williams is indeed a talented player, but his arrival might threaten Raphinha position, and I don't think Hansi Flick will turn one of them into a center forward after Lewandowski leaves later. Barcelona front line productivity is actually quite good, Barcelona should not need to force themselves to recruit a winger.

So far there has been no official news regarding Nico Williams transfer, many people believe that an agreement will be reached soon, but Barcelona must first ensure that the recruitment does not have the potential to violate La Liga FFP rules. It is only natural that Athletico Bilbao are trying hard to hold back Nico Williams departure, they don't want to lose their best asset.

[GiftedMAN]

It is indeed very interesting to talk about Nico William and Barcelona, ​​because he is one of the top players that Barcelona has wanted since last season, but it has not materialized. Meanwhile, Barcelona must buy him according to the release of Calus from Bilbao, and on the other hand, Nico's contract in Bilbao is still until 2027.

And the problem is, now La Liga has also warned Barcelona to be aware of La Liga's rules, regarding player salaries and registration. This happened because of complaints from Bilbao as conveyed here:
...

It doesn't look like Athletic Bilbao has complained about the situation.    The source is Fabrizio Romano again so this very awkward...

He is still keen on completing the deal. Barcelona is only needed to pay for Nico's release clause and that's it. They just don't want any installments like I said before.

I hope Barcelona finishes it without making a regulation breach.

Barcelona have their reasons for going for Nico Williams instead of Ademola Lookman I don't think it has anything to do with the country of origin of the players, you already know the reason why Barcelona is bringing in Williams to pair with Yamal having watched them play for their country I think the management of Barcelona saw that it will be a good combination playing both players since they are both young and very fast with the ball.

The duet of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal has proven to bring trophies, we have seen it proven when they played for the Spanish National Team. Barcelona certainly craves that combination, they want to have a sharp and luxurious front line like Real Madrid. The recruitment of Nico Williams will make Hansi Flick job easier, but Barcelona is faced with a difficult situation to complete the deal, the management and club officials must find a way to balance spending so as not to violate FFP rules.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Barcelona should be looking for a center forward to be plotted as Lewandowski long term successor. Nico Williams is indeed a talented player, but his arrival might threaten Raphinha position,

Raphinha wasn't high rated before last season, though, so his performance came in as a surprise to many. Barcelona managed to pull through some part of the season without solely relying on Lewandowski. They were firing from all cylinders, so I believe they will be just fine.

The goal is to buy Nico and create a Spanish connection in the team with Yamal. This can be very beneficial in the long term.

After finding a suitable replacement for Rodrygo, the decision to sell Rodrygo should be taken.

Remembering how many injuries the team had last season, it's obvious that they're not going to make it to the end of the season anyway with no alternatives. I don't know why, but Real players are constantly getting injured, even though the tactics of the game are not aggressive, it's not clear why they get injured. I'm particularly interested in how Alonso will mould the game, given that both Mbappe and Vinicius are constantly fighting for the lead

I don't know if the injuries have anything to do with the intense training schedules, but I think it's because of the difficulty of the training. Because so many players have been injured and it can't be a coincidence that there are so many injuries. Maybe the club doctor should have warned the Real Madrid coaches about this. The poor performance of last year, when Real Madrid had many injuries, is on everyone's mind. That's why I think they will be more careful with the injured this year.

The federation has already answered that it will not change the dates of games because of European tournaments, that players should be ready for the load, but nevertheless I do not think that so many injuries of Real Madrid last season are related to the tight schedule, still the players really should be ready for such a heavy schedule, because no one should postpone matches just because someone participates in European tournaments and someone is not

Yamal and Nico Williams have indeed performed perfectly in the Spanish national team but it is not certain that they can perform well in Barcelona because there are several factors that may affect their performance. I do not doubt the players but sometimes something we hope for cannot always be realized according to our expectations. We can see Mbappe who is highly expected to perform extraordinarily but in fact has not been able to perform optimally at Real Madrid. But in any case, hopefully Barcelona can recruit Nico Williams so that the competition between Madrid and Barcelona will be interesting again like before.

Yeah I agree Barcelona took the right step if they managed to bring in Nico Williams and the combination of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal is really reliable as we can see in the national team. Based on the price 70 million it is not a high price for Nico Williams it can even be a profitable investment in the future because as a young player he can achieve many targets, compare if Barcelona bought Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting for the same price or higher but a different age
