La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[alankasman]

Every player has strengths and weaknesses. No player is completely perfect. There will definitely be gaps, but these can be covered if the player emphasizes their strengths, such as consistently striving to score goals. Mbappe has continued to contribute many goals since joining Real Madrid.
I'm sure Mbappe will soon get the title he desires because Real Madrid is a club that always has a great chance of winning titles, especially in the domestic league. However, in the Champions League, it seems the chances are not as great as before because with this new system, big clubs seem to be struggling to compete for the UCL title.

Your point is absolutely correct. Indeed, even within a team, there are two things that are clearly not perfect.
The first is a weakness when a losing streak causes the team's performance to decline slightly. The second is when a team is able to win all its matches, thus eliminating the need to spend heavily in the transfer market for new players the following year. Since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has been a key player for his future career. While at PSG, he aspired to join his childhood dream team, Real Madrid, and that dream finally came true.
Now, his biggest dream is to win a title with Real Madrid. He saw his friends win the Champions League with PSG when he joined Real Madrid, and this has become a motivation for Mbappé to continue his pursuit of the future with his teammates at Real Madrid.
It's important to note that no football team is perfect in any of the leagues governed by FIFA.

Yes!!, Lewandowski is back after being injured. This is what fans hope to see him back to the line. Celta Vigo is not willing to give Barca a win easily; they give a fight in front of fans.  But it was a little different in the second half; Barca was intent on attacking because Flick had read Celta Vigo's strategy in the first half. Certainly, what is a very pleasant thing is a machine goal has found his instict, and Lewa will be an attacker which can be main rival to Mbappe tops the scores. His position has the same with Alvarez with 7 goals. and will certainly continue to grow when we look how they created hat-trick last night.

First hattrick after longer injury is fantastic performance of Robert Lewandowski, he has pretty good goals instinct how two of three goals scoring against Celta Vigo. Barcelona not worry with attacking line position nowadays after Lewandowski return back from injury but international break must be careful will return to club the players without injury? I think three goals scoring by Robert Lewandowski last match against Celta Vigo to proof him self still on the top level performance after Barcelona's management confirm not extending his contract.

Its bad news for Barcelona losing the top players and have good instinct goals such as Lewandowski, however have 6 month left for taking decision extend Lewandowski new contract or he leave as free agent players and giving much opportunity for other club sign him without paying fees transfer.

Barcelona should extend Lewanowski's contract for another year. Because Barcelona still can't find a suitable replacement for Lewa. Rashford has come to Barcelona for 1 year. He is playing quite well. However, he is not at Lewandowski's level. It would be better for Barcelona to find a suitable replacement for Lewa and then let him go.

But Lewandowski is now 37 years old. Since the last season, we can see that he is facing a lot of injuries. And we can see the bad effect of this on Barcelona's performance. Considering this aspect, Barcelona management is probably not interested in extending the contract yet. Let's see what Barcelona management decides in the end. Barcelona still has enough time to make a decision.

[Velvet78]

The top 4 have already created a decent gap with the others behind like at least 5 points. Villarreal still look strong by taking their place as the 3rd in the standings.

I like the work Marcelino has been doing. Maybe his first season didn't went great but he gradually made this team better. They finished last season as the 5th and now I'm wondering whether we will see them in top 4 this season.

Lewandowski is one of the greatest strikers in history. It is clear. Even at the age of 37, he has 7 goals in 9 games in the league. It really doesn't look like his performance will drop sharply.

Therefore they can really think about keeping him for another year in case they don't find a worthy replacement.

Robert Lewandowski is a striker with a very good goal instinct Even at 37 years old his quality is still very good and he can still make a significant contribution to the team, Perhaps he can still provide the same performance in the next season or two but the problem he often faces now is frequent injuries.

This will be very confusing for Barcelona management, On the one hand they still need Robert Lewandowski but on the other hand, there is a very high risk of injury that could be detrimental to the team, However I still hope that Barcelona management will offer Robert Lewandowski a new contract.

[Gallar]

Barcelona is not dependent on a single player, Yamal is definitely a great asset and a valuable player for Barcelona. If he can perform at his full potential, Barcelona's attack looks unique. But he alone is not able to take Barcelona forward, although Rashford is doing great in the absence of Rafinha in the attack and does not let Rafinha's absence be noticed. Barcelona's biggest problems at the moment are defense and midfield. There are some problems in the defensive line and I see Hansi Flick's offside trap not working very well now. Opponents are planning these traps and using this trap to score goals. Hansi Flick must adopt new strategies in this regard.

Yes, Yamal is indeed a very great player and also has perfect natural talent, but certainly even though Yamal is very great, he will not be able to make Barcelona shine alone. Because in the world of football, teamwork is also very necessary and in my opinion, that is the most important. So that's why a team can't just rely on one or two players to win every match. But the point is, all existing players must be able to work well together so that the strategy that has been formed can be executed more perfectly. Besides speaking about Barcelona's defense line, I also agree that their defense is really very problematic at the moment. Because this is proven in almost the majority of Barcelona's matches played.

Because in most of the matches Barcelona has played this season, Barcelona always conceded goals in almost every match. Whether against a strong team or a weak team, the point is that Barcelona always conceded goals in every match. So this really needs to be fixed immediately by flick. Because basically, it would be less good if Barcelona had a good attack line but their defense was very weak. It is certain that this will make it very difficult for Barcelona to win every match. Therefore, Flick must immediately make improvements in Barcelona's defense area, so that they can compete better in all competitions.

[Adbitco]

Alonso won't change. Against Liverpool they held the ball and made nothing. Against Rayo they fired 21 shots in wretched positions, and could not make a goal. When Mbappé is not there to put some papered-over cracks, the system is broken.

I believe we are going to have a sloppy January. Probably Rodrygo is gone, Endrick is loaned out, and they'll panic-buy someone that doesn't fit either. Classic Madrid crisis mode.

Unless Alonso does take this time to have the kids trusted in a proper way, and cease with the ultra-cautious replacements... But I'm not holding my breath. This is like witnessing a car crash at slow speed.

Alonso has quite different tactical preferences, resulting in some players' playing time being quite limited, even though they are also top players. This is especially true for Rodrygo. This has been a long-standing issue, but Xabis has assured him that Rodrygo will be fine at Real Madrid. However, Rodrygo still needs more playing time.

Anotehr news also coming from Endrick, he is also very lack of playng time in Real Madrid. Therefore, according to information, Lyon and Real Madrid are currently in serious talks and negotiations to allow Endrick to go on loan to Lyon.

Good news for Endrick, he should go elsewhere in search of playing time because of his still at Real Madrid, he will never get it so long as there are players like Mbappe, Vini etc still at the attacking front. Even Rodrygo who was once a starter is now playing just few minutes and it doesn't even happen in every game. He should go and get more experience and with time he will fit into the Real Madrid team naturally.

Not only Barcelona but all teams cannot depend on the performances of just one player, even if a champion cannot push a team alone.

Even today hearing these things makes me laugh, you can't understand that football is a team game.

Yamal is a great player, but he needs to be assisted to finish winning results by his teammates.

Robert Lewandowski has missed a few matches due to injury but despite not being in great form at the beginning of the season, he is playing quite well. He is a very experienced player and despite being 37 years old, he is still playing well and scoring goals. He has scored 7 goals in 9 matches in this La Liga and he had also scored 27 goals last season. Despite being injured due to his age, he is a physically fit footballer. If he can stay physically fit, he can play for more seasons.

You can think of Cristiano Ronaldo he is over 40 but he is still getting goals regularly and he has scored 9 goals in 8 matches in the Saudi Pro League and he had also scored 25 goals last season. He has scored 950 goals for his country and club in his career so far and I think he will complete 1000 goals soon. So I think age is not an issue for Robert Lewandowski. If he can stay physically fit, he should continue playing for a long time.

I don’t know what’s “breaking” in this news, it seems like this has been expected for a long time. Endrik faces incredibly stiff competition to make the Real Madrid starting lineup. Plus, he still needs to improve to get there. Güller had a much easier time, and he took advantage of it. Real Madrid obviously believe in Endrik's progress (after all, they've been developing him for, what? 4 years?) since the negotiations are only on a loan without the option to buy. Endrik should be glad of this opportunity.

[martinom]

That's the news that's been circulating in many media outlets in the last 7 or 8 hours, and I just read it, and I'm really surprised by it. And it seems to be more about the injury and the medical treatment Yamal has been undergoing without the national team's permission, rather than his attitude or anything else. This is very worrying for Yamal's career, because if he's no longer available to the Spanish national team, it will certainly make it harder for him to develop further at such a young age.

In my opinion, there are other issues below that they don't want to make public. It seems truly absurd to me that it all stems from medical care not authorized by the national team.
It will certainly influence his career, but he also has the opportunity to demonstrate that despite being told about him, he can still make numbers on the pitch, if he can once again demonstrate at the World Championships that he has the characteristics of a true champion.

Yamal is a great player, but as you said, depending on him is what is spoiling things for Barcelona right now. There is no way a manager will depend on one player, in which we know even if Yamal is around, other players must assist before he can get what he wants, whether in scoring goals or any other thing.

I think if there are other key players and teamwork, they will still do well without Yamal, but they keep depending on one player, which is their problem. Rashford and others are also doing great.

[Zlantann]

Arda Güler didn't get much playing time under Carlo Ancelotti maybe because of his tactics. Everyone knew that the Turkish player was good and deserved to play consistently. Now, Xabi Alonso is using the young player in most of the games. Real Madrid is filled with quality players that the coach would have to select those that suit his tactics for specific games.

Endrick would have to leave because the current coach doesn't see him as an important player. And the Brazilian is highly talented but needs more playing time to keep improving. Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca desperately wants the young player to boost the club's attacks.  Aston Villa and Manchester United wanted to get the Brazilian but it seems Lyon got the upper hand.

What makes Barcelona's current team amazing are the two mainstay players Eric Garcia and Marcus Rashford in the midst of the injury storm that is hitting the club, but Marcus Rashford played very impressively after creating an assist for Lewandowski and also getting several opportunities to score goals, for Yamal's injury problem I think he should be benched first and don't force him to continue playing because the injury he experienced has not healed, and this could be fatal for his career later, because now he has shown that in the future he can be the best player in the world.

[giorgione]

Barcelona should extend Lewanowski's contract for another year. Because Barcelona still can't find a suitable replacement for Lewa. Rashford has come to Barcelona for 1 year.

Barcelona still has enough time to make a decision.

In my opinion, Barcelona, in addition to extending Lewanowski's contract, should also equip themselves with another strong striker because in my opinion Yamal will not continue to be the strongest player of all and then keeping an excellent reserve is always useful.

Even today hearing these things makes me laugh, you can't understand that football is a team game.

Yamal is a great player, but he needs to be assisted to finish winning results by his teammates.

Barcelona has the culture of depending on a particular player for performance. It was the same with Messi when he was playing for Barcelona. Then, Barcelona relied on Messi for goals and performance and now, there are repeating the same mistakes by depending Yamal as if he is the only quality player in the team.  Barcelona is risking alot if they continue to depend on Yamal for performance because if Yamal suffers Injury, it could affect their performance in the LaLiga & in the champions League.

I don't see it that way, this is a team game that must be well organized in all lines so that it can produce a good performance, regarding the previous reliance on Messi, it was because it was seen because Messi contributed greatly to the team and now I don't see the same thing happening to Yamal even though every time Yamal plays he can make a big contribution to the team but it doesn't necessarily depend on just one player.

As a young player, even with good talent and potentiality for his growth, Endrick needs time with playing in actual matches, not only from training sessions. It's not bad at all if he leaves Real Madrid in a loan transfer in the winter transfer season in order to find better opportunity at a smaller club. By playing more, he will sharpen his skils as well as get more experience, strengthen his mentality. When he grows up enough, he can return to Real Madrid and get a more important role there.

If you have a world class player in your club, more or less, your club will depend on that super star player, it's unavoidable. Such players can make great impacts on his teams and both Messi, Yamal are all comfortable to make impacts on Barcelona. Like in Spain, they depend too much on Yamal for their international matches and tournaments too.

[CageMabok]

Even today hearing these things makes me laugh, you can't understand that football is a team game.

Yamal is a great player, but he needs to be assisted to finish winning results by his teammates.

What you say is absolutely true and makes perfect sense, because all players need the help of their teammates to achieve success and achieve such satisfying results. Not only young players like Yamal, but even established stars still rely on the help of their teammates to score goals in any match. Especially a player like Yamal, who still needs this support even more because he has less experience than other players like Lewandowski, who is also on the Barcelona team. So, this is undeniable, and it's not fair to say that one player can have a greater impact on the entire team when that player still desperately needs the help of others in every match.

[bastisisca]

There was a lot of competition between the two teams until half time, although Barcelona performed well, there was not much difference between the two teams, both teams were very aggressive and competitive. Although Celta was relatively weak compared to the Barcelona team, their performance was sky-high. But if Lewandowski had not performed so well, then the Barcelona team would have been in danger. Because he scored three goals alone, this hat-trick helped change the fortunes of the Barcelona team, and added three points to the point table and helped them maintain the second place in the point table.

I thought about it a lot, and in the end i came to the conclusion that i had a negative outlook for Barcelona. The team is there, but for some reason, it's not working well, it's not playing well, and it's not performing at all.
I don't know what to blame this on but we can't pretend not to see the elephant in the shop.
