La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Lida93]

For Arsenal it's a good choice because they lack such quality and Rodrygo would upgrade their team and probably aid them to win the EPL title  but it's a big lose for Real Madrid. We'll from what I've observed in the FIFA Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso haven't given Rodrygo more playing time so it could mean that Rodrygo is not welcomed in his squad and needs to leave. I might not be right but the rumours of Rodrygo leaving is getting intense so there's this slight believe I've got that he'll leave

After Al Nassr committed €500 million to Ronaldo, he also made it a condition that the club bring in strong signings. It seems Ronaldo is now trying to bring Rodrygo to Al Nassr. Hopefully they sign him, because I think if Rodrygo joins Arsenal, he may disrupt the team chemistry. Apparently, Real Madrid is asking €90 million for him. Arsenal shouldn't be paying that kind of money anyway. One thing is clear, Rodrygo's Real Madrid career is over. He will definitely be transferring to another club in this window.

Perhaps Rodrygo doesn't fit in Xabi Alonso's pattern and this is common to happen to player(s) when a new coach comes into a club. Rodrygo just 24 is to me too young to take his career to the Saudi Pro league, and I agree, Arsenal won't be a favourable place for him even if Arsenal can afford his fees. Where I will love to see him play is PSG or Bayern Munich.

Am I the only person that is thinking that this FIFA club World Cup has taken players resting time? And this might affect some players come next season because some will get injured just as Bayern Munich lost Jamal Musiala on a long time injury. I see some clubs and some Lagend’s complain about it, yet some people think it is right. Everyone is subjected to their respective opinions but in my on point of view, it is not proper at this time when players are suppose to have some rest after a complete season with different competition.

For Real Madrid’s request, it actually deserves to be rejected because they are just like any other team, if they are granted this, some clubs might come up with such requests in the future and it will cause some problems in football in the future.

It is true that players will not have time to rest, but they are been paid to play football since it is their job, therefore, they should endure the little time they will have to rest.

I am of the opinion that after the club World cup games there should be assigned a general time of rest mostly for all the teams that participated in the tournament even up until the finals because that will be the only fair thing to do, theses players will be fatigued and may not be in their best form to giving the best to their various team and so Madrid's request was a valid one because they are a team that may get to the finals so it is important they get some rest just before the season starts because they will have a long run through the season again after that which they have had in the Club World cup tournament.

Every coach have their pattern of play, when they come into a new team with different players they never coach before, they do make some changes by choosing the players they want and make the rest of the players feel useless in the squad that is exactly what is happening to Rodrigo in Real Madrid as we speak.

Alonso said that he was going to give him playing time, but with the few matches he has already coached, it seems like he have an entire different pattern that have no space for Rodrigo in his squad that’s why Alonso made it clear that he can leave if better offer is submitted for him. Arsenal, PSG, and Manchester City are willing to sign him, one of them might be victorious if Saudi Arabian teams don’t pump in too much money to get him from Real Madrid.

Many Real Madrid fans are reluctant to see Rodrygo leave Real Madrid, as he's the player Real Madrid needs when they're struggling. He's often the solution; he's arguably one of Real Madrid's impressive supersubs.

However, as you said, he's still a young player with a long career ahead of him, so leaving Real Madrid is the best option for him to break into the first team. Even if he were to leave Real Madrid, it's unlikely he'd go to Saudi Arabia, as he still wants to pursue a career in Europe. I think Arsenal, PSG, and Bayern Munich are the best options for Rodrygo right now, as he's a player with potential, but unfortunately, he's been overshadowed by Mbappé and Vini at Real Madrid.

After Musiala's serious injury, Rodrygo becomes a prime candidate for that position. If Bayern Munich can acquire him, it would be a huge success. Despite his lack of success at Real Madrid, Rodrygo possesses immense individual talent. A transfer to Bayern Munich could bring him to the top. Arsenal could also be an option, but given the challenging nature of the Premier League, he's more likely to win trophies there. Saudi Arabia, however, is clearly not an option.

[Frankolala]

I wouldn't support the move of Rodrigo to SPL, because he is still very your and needs to create records for himself and win European trophies. If he goes to SPL, he wouldn't be popular anymore, because he is still coming up and not yet famous compared to the old footballers in SPL that went from Europe clubs. Rodrygo loves Real Madrid and assuming he is meeting up with the competition at hand, he would have not think of moving to somewhere else.

A young player like Rodrigo still deserves to be at Real Madrid, and now that Real Madrid is coached by Alonso, who also really appreciates young talent, next season is a great opportunity for Rodrigo to continue his career at Real Madrid. La Liga is a very competitive league, so it can be quite good for the career path of any young player, including players like Rodrigo, who have already shown their form in several matches in previous seasons. I also still like him choosing to stay at Real Madrid with his other teammates, because next season Real Madrid must be better than last season.

Of course, I also support him to stay in Real Madrid provided that the coach can rotate players in order for Rodrigo to have time playing on the field, because if he just sits on the bench, it will affect his performance. Maybe, that's why his manager wanted him to go to another club, but Rodrigo believes in Madrid more than any other club.

[Silence Scream]

The change of coach has put Rodrygo future at Real Madrid in even more jeopardy, especially since Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid will not stand in his way if he receives a suitable offer. Xabi Alonso style of play at the Club World Cup should have been an opportunity for him to prove his worth to the new coach, but in reality, he struggled to contribute to the team.

Arsenal interest in him could change the current situation, especially as Arteta is keen to have Rodrygo in his squad to add ammunition on the wing. He has to make the right decision for his future, it seems Rodrygo has to follow in Martin Odegaard footsteps to get regular playing time to improve his skills, in a situation like this, staying at Real Madrid is not the best solution for him.

It didn't even start now, if you noticed or maybe have been watching Real Madrid games you will understand that it happened even from Ancelotti's era. Just towards when the season was to be wrapped up that Rodrygo started seeing more of the bench than previous. He actually declined in form of the truth and Ancelotti most of the time at that few games before the end of the season, dropped him even when he was not injured. Alonso only made it clear that he was not part of his plans after he publicly asked Guler not to leave that he is in his plans.

It's not Arda Güler, but other players who are causing Rodrygo problems. He faces tough competition from players like Bellingham and Vinicius. If he thinks he'll get less playing time under Xabi Alonso, I think he should leave the team. He's a player with the quality to be in the starting lineup. If that doesn't happen at Real Madrid, it could happen at a Premier League team. Real Madrid is probably the only team in the world where he won't be able to start.

Am I the only person that is thinking that this FIFA club World Cup has taken players resting time? And this might affect some players come next season because some will get injured just as Bayern Munich lost Jamal Musiala on a long time injury. I see some clubs and some Lagend’s complain about it, yet some people think it is right. Everyone is subjected to their respective opinions but in my on point of view, it is not proper at this time when players are suppose to have some rest after a complete season with different competition.

For Real Madrid’s request, it actually deserves to be rejected because they are just like any other team, if they are granted this, some clubs might come up with such requests in the future and it will cause some problems in football in the future.

It is true that players will not have time to rest, but they are been paid to play football since it is their job, therefore, they should endure the little time they will have to rest.

I am of the opinion that after the club World cup games there should be assigned a general time of rest mostly for all the teams that participated in the tournament even up until the finals because that will be the only fair thing to do, theses players will be fatigued and may not be in their best form to giving the best to their various team and so Madrid's request was a valid one because they are a team that may get to the finals so it is important they get some rest just before the season starts because they will have a long run through the season again after that which they have had in the Club World cup tournament.

I think they have enough time to rest, as the first match is against Osasuna on August 19th. That's almost a month. The players can rest during this time. They'll have already come off a long and intense tournament. So, they're in a good state of readiness for the new season right now. They've maintained their fitness and are still playing at a good pace. I think a month of rest will be enough for Real Madrid's players.

If Rodrygo stays, I think he'll find opportunities and capitalize on them. The Brazilian is truly a top-tier player, and every team wants to have him. If Real Madrid sells such a player, they'll need to consider who they can replace him with. Of course, there might be a transfer fee, but the key is whether they'll find a player of the same caliber. There are players of Brazilian quality out there. I think he needs to be patient and earn his place back. He needs to know how to fight for it. Because the team he'll be playing for is Real Madrid, one of the biggest teams in the world. Real Madrid doesn't guarantee a player a place in the league.

Yeah the club world cup would soon be over so there's no excuse for Real Madrid they're not the only team in Europe that participated in the tournament so they should deal with it, if they're not okay or feel the tournament would always affect them against a new season in other tournament then they should appeal to exit the tournament and focus on other ones if they really want to avoid fatigue. The Spanish football body made the right decision cause if they had accepted it would trigger other clubs who participated to do same an cause unnecessary postponing of matches in their various leagues.

I also still like him choosing to stay at Real Madrid with his other teammates, because next season Real Madrid must be better than last season.

And Rodrigo is one of the best players that Madrid has, so I think Alonso should keep Rodrigo because he's a key player, and there are other benefits they will get from keeping him, so these are all part of football strategy. and if he continues his career, then it will help them because even when it all started with Rodrigo, I was hoping he would not make the same mistake because the moment he sends Rodrigo away, his position will be exposed, and I think Madrid will even suffer more.

And Madrid is falling behind in performance and so many other ways, because how would you even make it to the semifinal if you are already losing two goals? We all expect more from them, and with all these things, it shows that Alonso is not good for Madrid because it's now as if they are getting worse in their performance with all the players they have, and Alonso trying to get rid of Rodrigo will only make things worse for them.

Arsenal could also be an option, but given the challenging nature of the Premier League, he's more likely to win trophies there. Saudi Arabia, however, is clearly not an option.

It is good to see that both coaches are taking this match very seriously. And in this match both have formed their best XI. In the previous matches we have not seen starting XI Dembele and Mbappe. But today these two important players are in PSG and Madrid squad.

PSG will play in their old 4-3-3 formation and Madrid will play in 3-4-2-1 formation. And this is probably going to be Madrid's main XI next season. ROdrygo is not in Alonso's match plan while GOnzalo Garcia will be in Madrid's best XI. Also we can see Tchouameni in defense. Let's enjoy the match

Rodrygo made a significant contribution to Real Madrid's trophy haul, particularly in the 2023/24 season. Unfortunately, his performance on the pitch has declined in the last season. While the decline wasn't significant, it has also led to a decline in the coach's trust in him.

I believe that with his ability and skill, coupled with his relatively young age, he still deserves to remain in Real Madrid's first team. However, after the 2024/25 season, Real Madrid suffered a major setback due to less than satisfactory results in almost every competition they entered and failed to win a trophy, Real Madrid clearly needs a player with truly consistent performance and performances, especially under the new manager Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid has many targets for the coming season. And maybe Rodrygo does not fit the criteria and is not included in Xabi Alonso's plans for the next season, so now Rodrygo is widely rumored to be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.

Seriously. The new coach, which is Xabi Alonso, has made it clear that Rodrygo is not one of the players that he is planning to use next coming season, and as you said earlier, even before, Ancelotti was not even using him that much. Due to his performance, I think the player is not in good performance, and since Xabi Alonso wants everything to go smoothly in his team, he doesn’t want things to go another way for him. That is why he is arranging the players that can make his strategies go well for him ahead of next season.
 
I think Xabi Alonso wants to restore Real Madrid's performance and confidence for the next coming season. We know how Real Madrid struggled last season, and I think Alonso doesn’t want the same thing to happen during his time. We should be expecting great performance from Xabi Alonso. I think he has started making his arrangements from now, which is good.

[snipie]

Let's enjoy the match

The match was catastrophic for Real Madrid by all means. PSG dominated totally the game and ended it by 4 goals to 0. I would say that Xabi Alonso was lucky to not see his team being defeated by like 6 goals or more. Seriously there is many dysfunction within the team. From silly mistakes to the absence of concentration and pivotal role of midfielders.
Real Madrid should take a lesson from what happened today because they are still far from their ordinary level.

I don't think that Rodrygo not being featured in matches is not something that has to do with Xabi Alonso becoming the head coach, Rodrygo's decline in performance is what has kept him out of being featured in matches. Xabi Alonso is also a coach that is very selective and picky, if he doesn't see much quality in a player he finds it difficult to feature such a player.

Rodrygo was one of the players that once made the headlines in 2023/2024 Champions League season after which he made some good performances but all of a sudden he disappeared and hardly they talk about him in the squad again. He can really become better if he joins Arsenal where he can get more playing time to his worth. I don't know how serious Arsenal will be in their quest to sign Rodrygo because he has good skills that can light up the squad so Arsenal need to go for him as soon as possible.

All thanks to the keeper, full time 4 goals to 0 is a catastrophic result so far, Real Madrid did show their weakness and it was taken advantage of. PSG on the other hands knows what it means to defeat Madrid in the semi final and they never walked inside the pitch like they were not sure of winning, they played with confidence, exactly what Madrid lacked that caused them the two goals in the beginning of the match.

A bigger win is always expected, who will keep crawling for the bigger chance? Real Madrid happens to be out of peak and watching them suffer against elite oppositions. You and I know the truth, Real Madrid are no match for PSG this season and their defeats was not quite surprising. A castrophic end for Real Madrid tonight, seeing them been eliminated from the Club World Cup sends us all the message. Real Madrid have been a fantastic club from the beginning of the club world cup and they've been an exceptional team, coming from far to reach the semi-finals.

Let's focus on the problem of Real Madrid, what's happening to them currently? They have been hanging in there but I don't think they can push anymore further, quite some changes happen. Xabi Alonso is to make sure they sealed every prominent sector and wave for improvement.

[red4slash]

For Arsenal it's a good choice because they lack such quality and Rodrygo would upgrade their team and probably aid them to win the EPL title  but it's a big lose for Real Madrid. We'll from what I've observed in the FIFA Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso haven't given Rodrygo more playing time so it could mean that Rodrygo is not welcomed in his squad and needs to leave. I might not be right but the rumours of Rodrygo leaving is getting intense so there's this slight believe I've got that he'll leave

After Al Nassr committed €500 million to Ronaldo, he also made it a condition that the club bring in strong signings. It seems Ronaldo is now trying to bring Rodrygo to Al Nassr. Hopefully they sign him, because I think if Rodrygo joins Arsenal, he may disrupt the team chemistry. Apparently, Real Madrid is asking €90 million for him. Arsenal shouldn't be paying that kind of money anyway. One thing is clear, Rodrygo's Real Madrid career is over. He will definitely be transferring to another club in this window.

For Arsenal who are interested in Rodrygo actually I don't really understand what Arteta wants to do in this case because we know that for winger they already have Saka there and if making Rodrygo as an alternative at a price of 90-100 million I think it's a little excessive.
Rodrygo has lost momentum in Madrid at the moment because after all he is slowly now losing his main place so it is a wise decision actually to leave even though he also still always plays as a backup.

On the other hand, indeed for now if in the end the money is looked at then obviously the SPL is the right place but if you still want popularity for Rodrygo then he should look for a European club only for now of course there will not be many clubs interested if the price benchmark is still quite large for Rodrygo.

PSG on the other hands knows what it means to defeat Madrid in the semi final and they never walked inside the pitch like they were not sure of winning, they played with confidence, exactly what Madrid lacked that caused them the two goals in the beginning of the match.

I lack words to describe this defeat Rela Madrid just suffered against PSG, xabi Alonso was really hyped before this fixture in that they were looking at his performance from where he came from to Real Madrid and the achievements there, it made everyone believe that since he has made it this far in this tournament,  and considering his person, he was going to win PSG seeing  that they have mbappe who understands PSG so well and would have enlightened Madrid on better ways to get PSG but even without some mainstay defenders PSG did not concede a goal which made it a classic.
