La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[bastisisca]

Huijsen is a promising central defender while I don't know of Carreras and Trent does not have good defensive skills. Real Madrid surely knew defensive weakness of Trent and they perhaps plan to use Trent mainly for attacking support. Real Madrid will not accept to lose La Liga title to Barcelona again and they are improving their squad with new players.

Barcelona have a young team that can grow up more but their brightest star player Lamine Yamal shown some signals of being distracted by parties and unhealthy living styles. This can harm Barcelona attacking power in next seasons and give Real Madrid kind of good opportunity to not only challenge Barcelona but also take trophy back.
Real Madrid is a very good team, and their transfers were truly excellent. Barcelona, on the other hand, built a superb squad with fantastic players from their youth academy. They finished last year as champions and dominated Real Madrid in every match they played. Unluckily, they'll be considered for the Champions League semi-finals; had they reached the final, they might even have had a chance to win the trophy. From this perspective, the rivalry between the two teams is fierce. Real Madrid is in much better defensive form this year and will have a much better matchup against Barcelona. They likely won't lose to Barcelona in every match they play against each other this season like they did last year. They've made some significant signings this year to forget last year. We'll have to wait and see how the season plays out.

I really hope they haven't ruined Yamal, if you spoil too much the players become presumptuous, arrogant and even assholes
This won't do the team any good, i hope they get him back in line
the risk of seeing young talents burnt out is very high.. and is a waste

That's what you think, I read that Real Madrid is preparing around €120 millon for his services. Liverpool will cash in on him in other to raise funds for the purchase of Isak because they took are eyeing that striker to strengthen their attack. It's business once the price is right there's a big possibility that the deal will pull through unless maybe Real Madrid does not really want to buy.

The money that Liverpool will use to buy Isak from Newcastle United isn't a problem, and that will not push Liverpool to sell Mac Allister to Real Madrid if Liverpool doesn't want Mac Allister to leave Anfield this season. Liverpool has already submitted a €120 million bid for Isak, and they are waiting for Newcastle United's response to know if Newcastle United has changed their mind about selling Isak this season.

Flick said something like Ter Stegen is not the number one goalkeeper for his team Barcelona and now Galatassry has submitted a proposal to him for a four years deal and this deal comes with a better salary structure for him than his currently receiving in Barcelona but on the condition that he joins on a free transfer. I really don't know much about Barcelona because I'm not really following the team, so I don't know if his contract is expiring this summer that they want him for free.

[Tmoonz]

Real crazy spend of money by Real Madrid if some rumours are true, some people are talking about they want to steal one more Liverpool key player, for sure Liverpool doesn't want to let him leave after losing Trent Alexander Arnold and other key players by misfortune.

I'm talking about Real Madrid asking for McAllister. They are talking for a ton of money, I can see Real Madrid seeing him as the new Luka Modric.

But I think it would be even crazier if Liverpool accepted the offer. Losing Mac Allister would be like losing one of the heart of Liverpool's game. I can't even see Liverpool finding a replacement if they accept Real Madrid's offer.

And the news I've received is that Liverpool doesn't seem interested in such a large offer. This suggests Liverpool know that losing Mac Allister would benefit financially, but they would also suffer the loss of one of their greatest players.
Despite this, Real Madrid doesn't seem to be giving up, and reportedly is even preparing to pay the player's release clause. This means Real Madrid will likely release one of its players to raise the funds.

However, the encouraging news for Liverpool is that Mac Allister himself doesn't seem interested in moving to another club, including Real Madrid. He's comfortable at Liverpool and seems to want to remain focused on the club.

Hmm I really think Liverpool should better know the kind of game they are into, first they sell Trent Alexander Arnold, second they lost jota to a car accident, now real Madrid is making an offer for McAllister three key players for the club I don't think this is going to end well for them this coming 2025/2026 premier League campaign, yes they've made some signing too but but to my own opinion those signs are yet to know England pattern of play and if they can adapt to it first, for English premier League is not just a league any player can come and start dominating it take just few to do that, so in this McAllister issue I think they just have to give it a second thought.

Yes, Real Madrid seems really serious about signing the midfielder. In fact, according to rumors, they're even willing to use Arda Guler as a bargaining chip to secure Mac Allister. So, I think Real Madrid is going a bit overboard in this. If they sacrifice Arda Guler for Mac, I think they should reconsider. Because Arda Guler is currently a very important player for Real Madrid, so if Real Madrid loses Arda Guler, I think there could be an imbalance at Real Madrid. However, according to circulating reports, Liverpool doesn't want to let go of their mainstay player. Because if Liverpool let Mac go, their squad would certainly be less strong.

Real Madrid has also successfully brought Alexander from Liverpool, so with that in mind, I don't think Liverpool is likely to sell another key player. Furthermore, Mac Allister still seems comfortable at Liverpool and his contract is still quite long, until 2028. So, with this in mind, it further strengthens the case that Mac Alister is unlikely to be acquired by Real Madrid at this time. So Real Madrid may have to look for another midfielder for now. because I think they shouldn't waste time bringing in players they can't possibly get.

[Solokan]

I think Real Madrid have a lot of star players but they lack the players who can win matches. If you talk about one of the best and most expensive players in the world, Mbappé will be there but he has not been performing well recently. Consider Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo or Jude Bellingham, they are very good players but they are repeatedly failing to perform well for the team. It is a hot topic that despite having talented players, why Real Madrid is repeatedly failing and what should be the solution. Ultimately, the solution is to make adjustments within the team and bring about mental and tactical changes among the players. Carlo Ancelotti has left taking responsibility for the team failure and he has been replaced by Xabi Alonso. He has to find the problems in the team and solve them so that Real Madrid can be strong for the next season.

Real Madrid's attack does look good, but they are missing creative midfielders like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. There are no capable replacements for these two players, so Real Madrid is still lacking in depth. If they had replacements like these, I believe Real Madrid's attack would be much more dangerous. That's why Real Madrid is now approaching other Liverpool players, realizing that this weakness needs to be addressed. Xabi Alonso's task at Real Madrid won't be easy as there are still many issues to overcome and if the squad isn't deep enough success in his first season will be difficult.

With so many star players at Real Madrid, there's no guarantee they'll consistently win every match and win trophies. Furthermore, I've noticed a slight decline in the performance of Real Madrid's star players, which has ultimately made it difficult for Real Madrid's forwards to score goals.

Yes, we saw Tony Kross and Modric back then, and it was clear that their teamwork was better, so it's no wonder Real Madrid won trophies in the Champions League and La Liga. Unfortunately, Real Madrid still hasn't been able to sign a good midfielder. Regarding Allister, who Real Madrid plans to buy from Liverpool, it seems unlikely they'll be able to sign him because Allister wants to stay at Liverpool. However, if Toni Kroos and Modric are available, Real Madrid will certainly make progress and certainly be better than they are now.

Alonso will certainly have to fight to lead Real Madrid to the title, and there are indeed many things Xabi needs to do and complete. We'll just have to see what happens.

I really don't know much about Barcelona because I'm not really following the team, so I don't know if his contract is expiring this summer that they want him for free.

One of those keepers need to leave they're all senior players and good in their own way but Flick can't buy a good young goal keeper that's at his prime and was the number one keeper for his previous team then keep him on the bench. That's why he's made a declaration not to use Ter Stegen as the first choice and also why Galatasaray wants to take advantage of the situation.

many players feel the responsibility much more than others, being paid so much they feel the pressure and always want to do well but then they end up doing worse than what everyone expects, unfortunately performing with all eyes on you is not easy and it is not for everyone, these guys live the pressure and it shows.

Real Madrid are saying goodbye to right-back Lucas Vazquez, who has been at the club for 10 seasons. Real Madrid will hold a farewell ceremony for him. The player who captained the team and won many trophies doesn't jubilee but leaves the team. His name was linked with many clubs during the transfer window. Let's see which team he will go to. Real Madrid have not had a right-back problem for years. Now they have another experienced player Carvajal and new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold. I don't think they'll make a new transfer here.

What a player, nobody cares so much about him but he was always a third wheel , a super good replacement in a lot of places, he plays for several seasons and different positions for every coach and for what the team needs a really player of team.

I hope the best for him, good player and good person for sure because is not easy to be always a substitute and being happy.

Real Madrid needs to strengthen their midfield, as you exactly said. There's no point in continuing to waste time with the season starting again in just under a month; it seems like a complete waste of time to me.
I don't understand the point of thinking about it for a long time, you know what you're missing, buy it look for it

Joan Garcia is now at Barcelona and it is likely that one of them will leave and Ter Stegen is a possibility given that Barcelona now have 4 goalkeepers.

Ter Stegen still has very good potential actually even though he was previously injured quite seriously last season but indeed despite his age he is still quite good but there seems to be other considerations for Flick regarding this and with the arrival of Joan Garcia to Camp Nou then indirectly this is an indication for Ter Stegen to leave.

Obviously Galatasaray will make the most of this especially since they are now aggressively looking for players especially for the position of goalkeeper they have lost Muslera who can be said to be a legend who left because of his age so Ter Stegen could be a suitable choice to support the defense after they have Sane, Morata and Icardi in attack.

Alexander-Arnold has just joined the team and has already missed the Club World Cup final due to injury. I don't know how serious his injury is, I think it was just a bruise, but Carvajal is also not ready to play from the start yet, so Real Madrid still have a lot of questions regarding their defense. Although there is still time before the start of the new season and their situation is still better, because the defenders are already training with the team.

They are star players with great talent. I don't think they need to feel that kind of pressure. All players play not only because of their careers, but because they enjoy the game. All they need to do is do their best for any condition because they have earned trust.
This is not related to the pressure obtained because of the status of star players with large fees. This is a mentality for players who must be professional in every match.

The coach knows best what he wants in his squad, and I think Xabi Alonso is indeed building the team and bringing in some of the players he wants. This isn't just in midfield, but in all areas, which must be focused on, because a team's game will be well-organized in all areas to create a good performance.
Real Madrid is improving, so just trust Alonso. He's a great coach, and he just needs a little time to develop this team. I have a lot of confidence in Xabi Alonso.

It must be very difficult for a player who's been playing for the same team for 10 years to leave such a team. He's been playing here for a long time, and it won't be easy to replicate his performances on the next team. I think it's great that a ceremony is being held for him; he's always had a place on the team.
There were transfer rumors about him joining Fenerbahçe, but perhaps we'll see him in Türkiye next season. He'll continue to be successful here

Lucas is a part of Real Madrid history but his time in Bernabeu ended and a new chapter opens for him and the club. Real Madrid are replacing their players by new and younger ones for future and this is very good strategy of squad development from them. Carvajal soon will need to be replaced too as he is old enough and his career will go to its downside soon in next some seasons.

It must be very difficult for a player who's been playing for the same team for 10 years to leave such a team. He's been playing here for a long time, and it won't be easy to replicate his performances on the next team. I think it's great that a ceremony is being held for him; he's always had a place on the team.

Lucas has never been one of brightest star players in Real Madrid in about last ten years but his contributions for the club are big enough and undeniable. It's not wrong to say he was very lucky to play for Real Madrid in their golden time with 5 UEFA Champions League titles. It's hard for any average player similar to Lucas can win Champions League titles for five times. In history, there are many better players who have never won Champions League like Buffon, Totti, Ronaldo de Lima, Ibrahimovic and more.

The former Real Madrid player knows what the club needs, and it looks like Xabi Alonso will bring positive changes to Real Madrid.
He won't be too focused on recruiting attacking players, but I'm sure he's aware of the previous weaknesses in midfield and defense. Therefore, he'll likely focus more on finding those two positions to strengthen the defense.
I hope Real Madrid will bounce back and become Barcelona's strongest opponent, providing an exciting La Liga competition next season. But I still prefer Barcelona over Madrid.

A beautiful start to his time at Real Madrid ended with a beautiful farewell & I think Lucas Vazquez deserved it. He arrived at Real Madrid after a good performance at Espanyol, where he excelled for 10 seasons & won 23 trophies. At 34 years old, he still has a chance to continue his career in La Liga. Rumors I've heard indicate several La Liga clubs are interested in his services. Including Girona, Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla, Real Mallorca & Espanyol. Of all the rumored clubs, I think it would be better for him to go to his old club .

[Stablexcoin]

Although there is still time before the start of the new season and their situation is still better, because the defenders are already training with the team.

Arnold is not going for a long time, he will resume the season with his team while Carvajal joins them probably along the line. Having two Right backs means they are settled in that area, both center backs really caused them issue during the match against PSG, it didn't change a thing because Rudiger has always been an outstanding player, won't judge him out of one big mistake, along the other pair Militao, Asencio are still remarkable to cover up the gap. Real Madrid needs to work with their performance, buying of players won't help them form standard if they don't understand and adapt as a team when playing.
