La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[TelolettOm]

People are still always fighting, one is better than the other, and it will always be different, in each phase, They will definitely defend their respective favorite clubs, but they should not underestimate the opposing club. . But what is clear, the season has not started for La Liga and also UCL, so, no one can determine 100% will be the winner. Let's enjoy the game and the league all season, without going stressfully. hahaha

Anyway, Rashford finally played for Barcelona in the friendly match against Vissel Kobe. He still needs time; he's at least been on for 30 minutes. We'll expect to see him again in the next match.

It is expected that barcelona is  remain strong. Because Hansi Flick has not made any changes to his squad. Barcelona's starting XI will abide  unchanged. Now I am waiting to see if the players' performance will be consistent like last season. My expectations will definitely be high from Raphinha and Yamal. Both played well last season. And there is a possibility of getting better performance from them this season. I believe if Raphinha and Yamal work hard, they will be able to score more goals this season. Also, we know that boss Hansi Flick's match strategy is also excellent.

I think Hansi Flick still needs to improve Barcelona defense to prevent them from conceding so many goals in a single match next season. As for the forward line, Hansi Flick likely won't have any concerns, Raphinha, Yamal, and Lewandowski will be able to live up to expectations. With Rashford arrival, Barcelona attack will certainly be even sharper.
We realize that the race for trophies will likely be tougher, as Real Madrid appears to be actively overhauling its squad. Barcelona will have to work harder to retain the trophy, and they may not be as lucky as last season when facing Real Madrid in El Clasico.

Don't worry, Real Madrid is so far behind that you won't win any trophies this season either. Barcelona will once again be the favorite in La Liga and while Real Madrid struggles with a new coach and new system, they will lose another season. Barcelona has strengthened their championship squad even further with their transfer moves. They are much better this season. Real Madrid fans dreaming of a championship may be very disappointed this season as well, so I advise you not to raise your expectations too high.

Personally, I agree with what you said.
After Toni Kroos and Modrić left Real Madrid, there’s definitely been a drop in quality.
I don’t think they’ve found proper replacements for those two players yet.

Barcelona are the favorites for La Liga this season and they’ll most likely win all the domestic cups in Spain.
My expectations for Real Madrid are quite low, even in their most recent cup match, I don’t think they showed any signs of promise.

Hansi Flick has enough defenders to start next season well, but their performance isn't guaranteed to go according to plan. Barcelona has already brought in an additional goalkeeper to bolster their porous defense, while Rashford is the only other new arrival on loan. All the other defenders are in good form, and I think Barcelona is ready to maintain their performance next season. Problems may arise if their performances don't live up to expectations, and then they'll need to find other solutions in the next transfer window.

Yeah, that's absolutely right, still this season Barcelona is looking stronger and is the favorite to win the La Liga. Because their team is already looking good and well organized. The addition of Marcus Rashford and Johan Garcia is extra special because we all know that Hansi Flick has organized Barcelona in a very unique and precious way, which is ready to battle with even every team. While on the other side Real Madrid is a good team but still failed to compete in the FIFA club world cup. This shows that Xabi Alonso is still trailing with lackness, and until he fills up this lackness, Real Madrid can be sluggish in terms of performance.

We realize that the race for trophies will likely be tougher, as Real Madrid appears to be actively overhauling its squad. Barcelona will have to work harder to retain the trophy, and they may not be as lucky as last season when facing Real Madrid in El Clasico.

I would say that as things stand at the moment, Barcelona has an absolutely well-integrated team They have been working for some time and what they have to do is integrate Rashford into their style of play, With respect to Madrid, they are still strengthening themselves, it is not easy They have good players, they are changing practically the entire team and I am sure that they can do better this season However, they have to work very hard to reach a much better level than they had with Ancelotti.

Big blow for Real Madrid as defensive target acknowledges contract talks with Premier League club

“I hope it gets done soon,” the defender responded when asked about whether or not he will sign a new deal at Emirates.

Saliba’s current deal at the club expires in 2027 but the new deal could go a long way in securing his long-term future at Arsenal.

This will also effectively rule Real Madrid out of the chase. In fact, Saliba even admitted that he wants to win everything at Arsenal next season, stating, “This year, we’ll try to win everything.”

It seems you have forgotten so quickly, Real Madrid played the FIFA Club World Cup, Barcelona did not. All that time they have been resting so it's quite understandable that they have started their friendlier earlier than Real Madrid who are also probably resting for some time. So no, as of now, he is not clueless or making players lazy.

I think Xabi needs time, I don't think it should be fair to criticize him based on that bad performance vs PSG

Yes, perhaps Real Madrid are currently in a resting phase, because as you said, Real Madrid have just finished the world cup competition they participated in. That's why it's only natural that Real Madrid haven't had a trial match with any team at the moment. But even so I don't think it's appropriate to say that Real Madrid players are lazy. Because in essence they also need rest and also need a vacation with the people they love. So with this, I think it's only natural that Real Madrid don't have a trial match at this time. Because as far as I know there is no schedule for Real Madrid to play with any team at this time.

In addition, last night Barcelona won the match against Vissel with a score of 1-3. In that match Barcelona fielded many new players and their second-tier players. Rasphord also played in this match, and he also had a pretty good performance in this match. Although he couldn't score, I saw Rasphord had a pretty good contribution in this match. Maybe with a few more adjustments Rashford can play even better in Barcelona. And in a few days Barcelona have another friendly match scheduled against FC Seoul. I think Rasphord should make good use of this match, if he wants to be seen more by Hansi Flick.

This shows that Xabi Alonso is still trailing with lackness, and until he fills up this lackness, Real Madrid can be sluggish in terms of performance.

The problems that Barcelona have are solvable, such as trying to strengthen their attack. Marcus will be an important addition to the team and will strengthen the team and greatly enhance the strong position of the attack. He is known as a dynamic and talented player in the world of football. It is expected that Hansi Flick will be able to use him properly and get more goals from him.

Last season was not a good time for Real Madrid and they did not do well in the Champions League. In addition, despite a great performance in La Liga, they could not maintain their success at the end of the tournament. The club World Cup was eliminated from the tournament by PSG in the semi-finals. New coach Xabi Alonso is trying to strengthen them but to be successful he will have to work harder and increase the coordination between the players.

[Gost ms]

Well, I don't know about Barcelona, but I'm very worried about Real Madrid and their new coach. As a Real Madrid fan after that defeat against PSG, I see that Xabi still has no idea what to do with the squad. I'm afraid Real Madrid will become like Manchester United or Barcelona when they were in crisis. I don't see Real Madrid playing friendlies to see how the coach will deploy his players and what performance we can expect from the team.

It seems you have forgotten so quickly, Real Madrid played the FIFA Club World Cup, Barcelona did not. All that time they have been resting so it's quite understandable that they have started their friendlier earlier than Real Madrid who are also probably resting for some time.

I think Xabi needs time, I don't think it should be fair to criticize him based on that bad performance vs PSG

Here are some of the risks XA must accept when deciding to coach a big club with star players. This is because people no longer trust the process, as they expect results. And since Real Madrid's performance at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup failed to meet expectations, the coach is sure to face harsh criticism.

Of course, every coach needs time to build a better squad, but people are impatient for results. Xabi Alonso is the coach expected to bring Real Madrid's squad back to its best form and achieve more success. This season should be an opportunity to prove that Alonso is truly worthy of the Real Madrid coaching position.

As for Real Madrid's loss to PSG, let's just forget about it and look forward to the next competition. Can Alonso and his squad secure the Champions League title from PSG?

Real Madrid is going through a very bad time. When the Club World Cup match between Real Madrid vs PSG was played, we all thought that maybe we were going to play another final before the final. But Real Madrid surprised us all. Every coach takes time to bring his team back to the previous level. So if Real Madrid can't do anything good now, then maybe changing the coach of Madrid will be the right decision.

You never can tell what will be the outcome of next season, because last season nobody would have believed that Madrid would face a lot of challenges to the point that they dropped form drastically. Injury can render the entire team useless, which is one of the reason why you are not sure if Barcelona wouldn't have a setback problem next season. After all, Flick was also a new coach before he won the title.

It's true that because the Laliga and Champions League matches have not started yet then surely we will find it difficult to predict who will win, I still remember last season when Real Madrid was predicted to win the trophy again because of the arrival of Mbapppe to strengthen Real Madrid but yes in fact Real Madrid failed to win the trophy and of course it was far from the expectations and expectations of many people. So yes in the next season we will not know what will happen later because it could be a lot of surprises again and far from expectations. yes it is true we should just enjoy what happens and relax. but of course discussing who will win next season is certainly an exciting thing even though we don't know who will win and become champions in the coming season.

Rashford's performances are always awaited and his performance yesterday was very entertaining even though he only played 33 minutes but still he played well and it seems that Rashford has not fully adapted. but if he is fully adapted I think he will definitely be great and will be better in the next match.

yesterday's friendly match Vissel against Barcelona which ended in victory for Barcelona with a score of 3-1 is certainly very good and indicates Barcelona is still in strong form.

I don't understand why many people judge a club too early when we clearly see that last season Real Madrid experienced an injury crisis which caused their performance to decline especially for Real Madrid's defense since the absence of Dani Carvajal and Ancelotti couldn't organize star players with a good structure until finally they played selfishly while next season no one knows. Real Madrid have signed some good players to improve their performance so I think they will compete tightly in the hunt for the La Liga title next season so only the club that performs consistently can win it.

If one defeat makes an assessment of Real Madrid weak or fail, I don't think it's worthy because La Liga has many matches until the end of the season, so the competition using the point format will be very different.
Barcelona may be so solid because they have had more time to adapt, while Xabi Alonso has only just started this season, so there's a lot of adjustment to do.
Both teams will continue to be title contenders, and I'm sure Xabi Alonso will slowly adapt well.
It's only a matter of time before Xabi Alonso's strategy works, and when it does, Real Madrid's strength will be much stronger.

Lemar will definitely a great addition to Girona, no idea why Madrid didn't want him, he was doing fine. I guess we are going to see what the reason is, but I am sensing it was something outside of just football, like maybe they didn't get along with Simeone and all that, something like that must have happened.

In any case, Girona is trying to build a team that can do what they did previous year, not sure if they can, but the room for "fourth biggest team" is wide open right now, nobody is claiming it, and I sense that Girona could do it if they can become consistent. There isn't really a fixed way of doing this, there isn't a "one correct method" of doing it, so they are trying to do it from scouting and great bargain deals like these.

Barcelona has strengthened their championship squad even further with their transfer moves. They are much better this season. Real Madrid fans dreaming of a championship may be very disappointed this season as well, so I advise you not to raise your expectations too high.

At first glance, I think you're right. Because at the moment it looks like Barcelona will be much better prepared to face the upcoming season. Because, at this time it is certain that Hansi Flick as Barcelona coach, already has good chemistry with his players and also knows all the weaknesses of the team. Therefore, it is certain that Hansi Flick's has now improved this and that will certainly make Barcelona even greater in the coming season.

But even so, I personally will not underestimate Real Madrid either. Although it is true that the current situation of Real Madrid is not very good and also has some problems in several positions. But I personally will still consider that Real Madrid will be a pretty great competing team for Barcelona. Because Real Madrid is certainly not a weak team either, so even though the new season will not be long in starting, I'm sure Xabi as Real Madrid coach must have a good plan.

[W Jr.]

It has always been so for long. Real Madrid or Barcelona will definitely win the league next season, but we can't tell for sure which of them is the favorite. Barcelona only added one or two players to their squad and the team bond is already there. Unlike, Madrid that has a new coach and needs to understand every player potential so that, he can use them at the appropriate time for the right wings and positions.

As for Barcelona, I think they will remain strong because their tactics and players are the same as last season, even though they have added one or two to their squad for next season. Meanwhile, Real Madrid still needs to make more changes to address their weaknesses. If they can't be strong in La Liga and the Champions League next season, their signings will be wasted. Although I'm confident that Alonso can improve Real Madrid as long as the current Real Madrid players feel comfortable with his tactics.

Based on my observations, I don't see any major problems at Real Madrid anymore. They simply need a good player to solidify their midfield and fill the void left by Kroos and Modric. If they can find such a quality midfielder, Real Madrid will have a better chance than Barcelona for the championship. We'll once again be watching two teams compete for the championship in Spain, and Atletico Madrid will do everything they can.

[banana33]

Rashford was a Manchester United "legend", for a long time, he did alright and he constantly played. Only in the last 3 seasons or so he has been seeing a decline and not only Amorim who is sending him away now, didn't want to play him, but also previous manager Erik Ten Hag didn't want him neither.

So when you think about it, we are seeing two different manages disliking him, and there must be some reason. You don't see that kind of reaction that quickly and Barcelona needs to be careful. Sure he can be a good help, but he could be a trouble too, they need to check what seems to be wrong and what is getting in trouble so that they would know what they are dealing with, otherwise it is not going to be an easy decision for them at all.

Surely, as you say, he's a Manchester United legend, and he played a lot and well, let's say.
The fact that he wants to go and see and try a new adventure i don't see as completely wrong, people do it to have new stimuli when they start to get bored, that's basically the reason

[shinratensei_]

I forgot this guy still played football. lol It has been long time since Arsenal bid him for 90m, but he rejected it. He's a mediocre player now. His injury was the reason not many club paid attention to him, but weird to see Girona has interest to sign him.
He absences for a few seasons due to injury, and it's not wise to sign him now. This probably a risky bet by Girona, but since he comes as a loan, still worthy to try.

All Real Madrid players are on board the ship with good health and fitness. I believe that they will do better next season and no one can say how their performance will be like. The new season hasn't started yet, I will say that Xabo Alonso used the Club World Cup as an experiment to test his men and his game formation. So, let's hope for something amazing from Real Madrid next season.

[RaltcoinsB]

I watched the highlights of Barcelona's match. I didn't get a chance to watch the full match, but I think they played very well compared to the friendly. Many of the players were substituted in the second half. Rashford played for Barcelona for the first time. He created a few chances but didn't capitalize. I think he'll improve over time. Manager Flick probably wanted him because he's more inclined to play as a team. He helped his team in several situations and created dangerous starting positions. In his opinion, he's a player who can be effective on the wings, and Barcelona made a good signing. Considering the Spanish League will be competitive next year, every match is worth watching without missing a beat.
