La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[CryptoYar]

We can't judge the strength of a team in a pre-season tournament even though it's a Club World Cup tournament and indeed what Real Madrid showed was the same as other teams, especially with the many changes that have occurred, maybe Xabi Alonso, their new coach, is still looking for a suitable formation and also a strategy to be implemented, especially in this tournament, Xabi Alonso also often rotates players so I think there is no assessment that can be given for Real Madrid now.

Yes that is right that it is too early to judge Real Madrid true strength from pre season tournament like Club World Cup especially with new coach Xabi Alonso. These early games are mainly for him to test new players and strategies and for players to get fit. Since results do not matter as much and Alonso is likely trying out different players and tactics we can not really assess team properly until regular season begins.

These early games are mainly for him to test new players and strategies and for players to get fit. Since results do not matter as much and Alonso is likely trying out different players and tactics we can not really assess team properly until regular season begins.

I think this tournament is also important for Alonso because, even though it's the off-season and not a high-profile competition, he needs to prove himself and make a good impression. This is his first official tournament in charge, so I believe he'll want to show what he's capable of. Especially since there's a chance they could face PSG in the semifinals, and beating the Champions League winners would be very prestigious if they manage to do it. But for Alonso, the main priority now is preparing for the new season and making sure this preparation goes smoothly without injuries to his players.

As far as I know after Tony Kroos left, Real Madrid has not won any trophies. Because as far as I know Tony left Real Madrid last season, and this season after Real Madrid was no longer strengthened by Tony, the result is that Real Madrid has had less than good achievements. Because in La Liga Real Madrid failed to become champions and in the Champions League Real Madrid was only able to advance to the quarter-finals. So with that, I think Tony's departure from Real Madrid really affected Real Madrid's performance significantly. Because watching this season Real Madrid without being strengthened by Tony, and it looks like their midfield is really not good. So that's why I emphasize that Real Madrid must immediately find a good midfielder, so that they can immediately fix the problems in the midfield.

In addition, Real Madrid does not need to bring in players who have the exact same playing style as Tony Kroos, because of course it will be difficult to find them. But the point is Real Madrid must find players who can make their midfield come back to life. And about Rodrygo, if Real Madrid really intend to sell him, I think Real Madrid will have problems in the wing sector. So Real Madrid should not do that, if next season they want to be a great team again.

Obviously Toni’s departure left a gap in the team as it has shown in the team’s performance last season but that isn’t enough excuse for me though because I feel the main reason Madrid didn’t record success last season was because of the numerous injuries they suffered throughout the season and I came across a post that said out of the players in the squad only Modric and Guller were the only players that didn’t suffer injury last season. I hope they fix this injury problem before the new season starts.

Yes, I agree with you that other factors such as player injuries are indeed obstacles for Real Madrid so they have difficulty shining last season. So of course this also needs to be evaluated by Real Madrid, because if this happens again to Real Madrid next season, I think their fate will not be much different from last season. So Real Madrid's players really have to improve their discipline in everything, so that their training patterns can really have a better impact on their fitness. In addition, there are currently 6 important Real Madrid players who are injured, including Mbappe. This really needs to be handled immediately, don't let it be that when the new season starts these players are still injured. Because in the coming season Real Madrid certainly has a very high target. Moreover, Real Madrid now has a new coach, of course they don't want to create bad momentum in the coming season. So therefore hopefully the Real Madrid players who are currently injured will recover quickly.

Xabi Alonso is currently progressing in the ongoing FIFA Club world cup and Real Madrid is the only team now left from the Spanish La Liga to still be in the competition after their counterpart Atletico Madrid exited the competition in the group stages. Real Madrid just finished their game against Juventus in the Round of 16 which they won by a single goal 1 - 0. Juventus were so resistant in the game that Real Madrid could only put one goal past. Out of 11 shots on target, the goal keeper was their hero of as he saw off those from getting past him into the net. Real Madrid continues to represent Spain as always.

If Xabi Alonso can guide Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga league title and finish unbeaten in the Bundesliga league, just imagine what Xabi Alonso will do and achieve at Real Madrid, which has more quality and world-class players than Bayer Leverkusen, so I am not surprised with the way Xabi Alonso is performing in the Club World Cup tournament with Real Madrid. I didn't watch the Real Madrid and Juventus game, but I knew Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid would surely overcome the Juventus test because Juventus has been in a mess for a very long time, and they can't beat a club like Real Madrid if they don't improve their performance.

His performance in the world cup is not enough to decide whether or not his performance is good. The season will resume soon and the competitions will be heated next season then we will be able to evaluate his performance atleast half way into the season or at the end of the season.
It's Club World Cup, not World Cup. Half of a season is enough to decide the fate of Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid because if he fails to help Real Madrid challenge for the La Liga title, it will be difficult for him to do that at the end of a season when either Barcelona or Atlético Madrid might have accumulated a lot of points, which will make it difficult for him to catch up with either Barcelona or Atlético Madrid in the league table.

We can't judge too soon, we have to wait for the real championship to resume to see if the performances are real or imaginary
these events are a bit of a waste of time, they are like flames, lightning
the marathon, the long race is the championship with stubborn and strong opponents

Hmmm, exactly. Still, we can't judge whether he will be a failure or succeed. Still there is a lot of time to judge his performance. Xabi Alonso is a great coach, and also his previous stats were too good at Bayer Leverkusen. So based on his ex experience we are still hoping that maybe he can also regain his best at Real Madrid. So we should need to wait to see his performance level. Looking at the current situation of Xabi Alonso, it seems that the Real Madrid team still has a lot of work to do to strengthen the team. There are still many weaknesses in the team which may take time to eliminate. So for this we should give Xabi Alonso time...

Apart from that, I have said before that Real Madrid still needs a few signings. Like, they need a solid defender and an excellent supplier.

Normally real Madrid is indeed a great team, and we can't just judge them with a pre-season matches and I strongly believe real Madrid will make amend of their mistakes last season, for Xavi Alonso I think he's really going to make a great impact to that team, and I see he's using this moment of this competition to see where he needs to strengthen up in the team, like I strongly believe in him, and secondly he's got some pretty good players and with some quality tactics he's good to go.

Real Madrid could only win by a narrow 1 goal from Juventus and overall Real Madrid's performance in the club world cup competition so far has not been that impressive although this cannot be used as a reference because Xabi Alonso has also just become Real Madrid's coach and he still needs time to adapt.
However, from what Xabi Alonso achieved with Leverkusen, even the phenomenal season in the Bundesliga when they were undefeated cannot be compared to Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid now, this is clearly very different, especially the pressure of being Real Madrid's coach.

Madrid is a team with a lot of history, as well as the star players it has. A big challenge for Xabi is to be able to make the team play amazingly. Of course, it will take time in the process. The playing style of Madrid players will still be greatly influenced by what Ancelotti previously implemented. It was even acknowledged by several Madrid players in Xabi's first match as a coach.
All will require adjustments and adaptation processes, both players and coaches, in implementing training and tactics.

Since the Club World Cup is not a major tournament, we can't use it to judge Real Madrid's performance because we all know that Real Madrid will not use the same energy they use to play with in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League competition. Xabi Alonso will use the Club World Cup tournament to test his players and figure out the players that he can easily work with at Real Madrid and also know if he needs to strengthen his squad after the Club World Cup tournament ends.

Even now the transfer market is still not finished and the new season has not yet started. So yeah, we still can't conclude anything just based on their performance in the Club World Cup. Because Real Madrid and its new coach, Xabi Alonso, definitely need time to prepare better. Although currently they have to focus first on the Club World Cup. but yeah, the preparation and adaptation of this team with its new coach is still not long. So the actual results are still not visible. And it will take time and I think we will start to be able to make an assessment when Laliga starts again and Real Madrid has played at least 5 matches.

[bastisisca]

Maybe you are right, or wrong. The reason for this is very simple, Barcelona could not win the Champions League title last season even with the strongest team. The main reason for this, we may know, is the lack of luck. On paper, Real Madrid does not have much of an opponent. But to reach the final, they still need to win 2 more matches. If Real Madrid and PSG had not met before the final, maybe we could have seen a Real Madrid vs PSG match. But unfortunately, one of the teams will have to be eliminated from the semi-finals. There is a possibility of both teams being eliminated. But before that, both teams will have to win the quarter-finals.

well yes, it's true that luck plays an important role in football
as in everything, you can be a super strong team but if you happen to hit the post or the crossbar with a goal that would be decisive for your morale, well that's bad luck

of course, it happens, otherwise everything would be predictable, as does the morale of the players

[Adbitco]

You're right, indeed, they have successfully defeated Juventus in the Round of 16, but if you look at the situation, there are many shortcomings from Real Madrid, especially in the front line, their finishing level is very bad. Luckily they only face Juventus this time, but in the future, they will face Drotmund and especially if they qualify between PSG or Bayern Munich, which are both very strong in the front line, this will be a big blessing for them.

Real Madrid has Mbappe, Vini JR, and their front line is very strong, but the result is> goal effectiveness is very small, very weak.
This time we have to thank the new players at Real Madrid ii, with goals from Garcia and assists from Arnold that brought Real Madrid to victory and into the quarter finals.

Source: Gonzalo Garcia - Trent Alexander Arnold

Real Madrid shortcomings were seen and shown in the first half and the coach addressed that in the second half because if you notice their first half performance and that of the second half wasn't the same. In the first half Juventus were so superior that even Madrid only managed two shots on target, one from Bellingham in the near post the goal keeper kept out and the shot from Valverde. The second half was a different ball game as the Spanish giants too control and in the process unleashed 9 shots on target with only one going through. The goal keeper was the real hero for Juventus. Alonso will still improve as we saw his formation yesterday was totally different from what the players are used to.

[bitcoin_mining]

You don't expect a team like Madrid to exit the tournament at this stage of the competition apart from PSG that I see that will pose as a threat I don't see any other team that can stand towards to tow with Madrid because their team is one of the best teams in the world

Madrid are not yet strong enough, because they won against Juventus isn't enough reason to consider them best after PSG. If it was Madrid against Bayern in quarter final of World Cup tournament, Bayern would be more seen as the favorite over Madrid.

In the tournament, Madrid are making progress but more work needs to be considered by the manager and players, Madrid performance is very average for the team, they won against Juventus by 1-0 but Manchester City defeated same team by 5-2, it's not summing up that Madrid are prepared already for next season.

Real Madrid did not play good football at all against Juventus and they won with great difficulty. At first I found Real Madrid's game to be completely random and Juventus had several chances in the beginning that I can't figure out how they missed. From what I saw, they had two free kicks on the goalpost but they couldn't put the ball in the goalpost, which was their failure. If Juventus could have used those chances and scored multiple goals in the Real Madrid net early on, Real Madrid would never have won this match. Real Madrid understands at the end of every match that their team has weaknesses and that they cannot progress very far with such weaknesses, but at the moment they have no alternative, so they are going out on the field with their weaknesses and trying to do better.

Yes, besides strategy, luck does have its own role because if a team has a star player if the player fails to create opportunities such as a penalty failure, it will be an unlucky day for them, but that doesn't mean that big teams only rely on luck, they keep trying hard until the last drop of blood, not giving up easily is their key, so there is always a chance for any team that wants to try hard to achieve their desires.

Talking about Barcelona, ​​this club almost reached the final but unfortunately luck was not on Barcelona's side, especially since the opponent at that time was Inter Milan, who also had good experience in the UCL.

What i see is that Real Madrid's new coach Xabi Alonso is still looking for the right rhythm. As you said, finding the right strategy and formation is not easy, this cannot happen overnight, therefore the coach also needs to see which players are suitable for their respective positions, in order to maximize the potential in each match. At the moment we as fans have to be patient with these changes, Real Madrid is a big club, they will definitely find a way to bounce back.

Consistency is key for an team to do well because I don't think that luck has any role to play in the success of any team for any team to do well in any league that team must invest in top quality players before they can think of doing well

We are closely watching the performance of Real Madrid football team as that team is performing well and that team did excellent in last 5 matches. Juventus football team performance is also at good potential because that team won most of the last matches . But that team lost last match and that will give them low confidence in this match. Head to head performance of Real Madrid football team is also well because that team won 3 matches out of 5 matches and 2 matches won by Juventus football team. Both teams have to give hundred percent to win this match because no team is favorite for that match. Both teams have best players but defense system matters a lot for these teams to win this match.

The match ended with Real Madrid's victory with a score of 1-0, so now Xabi Alonso's squad has successfully advanced to the quarter-finals to face Borussia Dormund. Real Madrid has always been a scary specter because Borussia Dortmund has almost never won when facing Real Madrid. And no less interesting is that in the quarter-finals later, this match will bring together brothers who will face each other with different uniforms. This match brings together Jude Billingham and Jobe Belingham, yes soon we will witness the Bellingham brothers duel.

and back to Real Madrid, After successfully breaking into the main Los Blancos squad, Goncalo Garcia performed very well, he became a future player for Real Madrid and will likely become a new goal machine. And thanks to this slick appearance he managed to steal the attention of the Madridistas where in 4 matches he managed to score 3 goals. The most surprising thing was the goal he scored against Al Hilal in the group stage and in the last 16 against Juventus, where in those two matches he was the only player who managed to get his name on the scoreboard.

Club world club qualifiers might not be a criteria to say that a team has done well to be in the league but I will appreciate the effort of players that are winning every stage. Real Madrid might have not reach the expectations many people want from them, there is more they can actually offer but the question we should be asking is are they withdraw yet from the league? Definitely No, some tough wanna be teams are no longer their in the league again.

I still have low expectations from Real Madrid, they have the players but they are practicing a new era of football. They have to be familiarize with Xabi ways of football. I'm not displease why Vinicious hasn't been doing extraordinary since the beginning of this league, he is instructed to play a certain ways and that's why he hasn't been in form. Unlike then when Mbape and Rodrigo aren't around, he tends to do well but recently he just look like a player that is present without representing anyone.

[ITExpert]

Rodrygo is a pretty special player, and im not talking about his important carreer goals or what he can bring because of his talent, im talking about he is not a normal player at all, and in Real Madrid performance he behave good but in other team i dont know if he is gonna be on a good shape or being important.

So if you aks me i didnt sign Rodrygo at all if im other team from other league.

Rodrygo is a young and talented player. He has been playing for Real Madrid for years. Rodrygo has the potential to play well. I personally believe that the way Rodrygo is playing well and by seeing his dedication and his potential he needs some polish then he will definitely be a superstar. But the fans are now interested in how much money Real madrid will ask for. Yet, He is not an important player for many. And the stage where the Rodrygo is now falling according to that he is an overrated player. I think he should focus on establishing his career not on making money. Once he gets success to make a name by his talent then definitely he will highly paid.

If Xabi Alonso can guide Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga league title and finish unbeaten in the Bundesliga league, just imagine what Xabi Alonso will do and achieve at Real Madrid, which has more quality and world-class players than Bayer Leverkusen, so I am not surprised with the way Xabi Alonso is performing in the Club World Cup tournament with Real Madrid. I didn't watch the Real Madrid and Juventus game, but I knew Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid would surely overcome the Juventus test because Juventus has been in a mess for a very long time, and they can't beat a club like Real Madrid if they don't improve their performance.

Look there are environmental differences here but I still think that Xabi Alonso can achieve something big at Real Madrid and he passed every FIFA Club World Cup exam step by step with good ratings in an elite manner. Real Madrid won against Juventus in the Club World Cup match but they had to face a tough time in this match. It was very sensational in this match that Trent Alexander Arnold made his first assist for this club and it turned into a goal through which Xabi Alonso's team left the field with a narrow victory over Juventus in this match. My full understanding is that Randal Kolo Muani may have been Juventus' biggest asset in this match, but he couldn't maintain the right momentum for Juventus in this CWC tournament match.
