La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Zackz5000]

However, the challenges in La Liga are certainly not easy, with intense rivalries with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid always posing a serious threat. Although Madrid currently tops the standings, Alonso must continue to work hard to prevent his team from slipping.

Real Madrid has the opportunity to take any player they want and they always show it. Look, Mbappe came without hesitation because he knows that team is a bomb and he always shows it. Cortùis is an excellent goalkeeper and he will confidently leave.

Mbappe at some point will also be regretting why he left PSG, Mbappe sign for Real Madrid because he thinks he has over stayed in PSG and has not won the UEFA Champions league tittle and probably believe he can't win it in PSG. Real Madrid gives more opportunities to win the UEFA Champions league and also winning the Ballon d'Or Award i believe this is the reason why Mbappe went to Real Madrid, though he can still win it with Real Madrid if they perform well.

I assume you are trying to say Mbappe will regret leaving PSG later than the time he should have? I think he already regrets it deep down... Because there was no bigger success than only Ligue 1 titles.

He still doesn't have a Champions League trophy maybe but his chance to go for it is higher now. When he was at PSG it just didn't work for both sides. Because Luis Enrique had to build his system over him and this wasn't helping them in the Champions League.

After he left they won a trophy there thanks to a much better team play.

Real Madrid has performed well and has a strong squad, and so far they haven't had any issues but their consistency has often been lacking, This has been a constant concern since the start of the season and Xabi Alonso hasn't been able to resolve it.
The international break should provide players with time to recover but it also carries significant risks, especially for those actively playing for their country, There's also a risk of injury for the team upon their return.

The international break should help all the players who are trying to do well in the league and help other players who are less fit recover.
I understand that not everyone will be able to do it but they have to do it, there is no other way, especially if they are players who serve

[irhact]

I think Lewandowski's situation will be clarified very soon. Barcelona doesn't want him in the squad for the new season and wants to sign Harry Kane. This news has been coming out for a few days. First there was news that Lewandowski might retire from football if he doesn't renew his contract with Barca, but now there is news that he is in talks with Fenerbahçe. Lewa might be interested in playing in Türkiye because he will earn more or less the same money as in La Liga. I thought Barca would keep Lewa, but now that these reports are coming out, there is a good chance that he will leave.

For a player like Robert Lewandowski who was once one of the most prolific strikers in Europe as at the time he played for Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and even in his first three seasons at Barcelona, I believe he's personally aware that his time at Barcelona is numbered. You don't expect Barcelona to renew his contract at the end of the season when it's obvious that he's not fit enough to feature weekly like he used to play before. It's either Lewandowski retires from professional football at the end of the current campaign or move to a league that's not energy-demanding like the top five European leagues. Maybe move to Saudi league or the MLS

Lewandowski has been having an incredible time at Barcelona and he's likely going to continue playing at the club for some more years because he still has a lot to offer. When he wants to retire is when he'll move to the Saudi pro league or join Messi in MLS. It's only when players want to retire that they go to those league that aren't very competitive but someone like Lewandowski that still wants to continue playing at the top level isn't going to want to join those leagues yet. There are still some clubs in la Liga that would want his service and he'll be willing to join them.

Mbappe left and Paris Saint German won the champions league, and that was very important for them. To me I won't say that Mbappe was the cause of not winning the champions league, the only thing I will say is that, the team wholy dependent on him and as we can see how real Madrid mostly depend on him for the team success. When he left the team decided to play very well as there where no player they depends fully as every player where playing with each other  and that was a good moves

[changaa]

I completely agree with  you that it is very risky to rely on only one  player. We can see that Xabi alonso is building his strategy around Mbappe. If Mbappe fails to play well , it becomes very difficult for madrid to win. Madrid  should reduce their dependence on Mbappe.

Mbappe is impressive as always and someone and some player should take him as an example of how to manage private life and how to conduct life on and off the pitch, maybe someone who plays in the same league as him should really see how it's done, still a great player

[jakdanyel]

Barcelona did a good job with dropping the gap with Real Madrid to 3 points right before this break. However I must admit that Real Madrid are still more reliable and a bigger favourite for the La Liga championship than them.

The odds currently:

Real Madrid: 1.44

Barcelona: 3.00

Bookies also think the same as it seems.    They are ahead of Barcelona in the La Liga and Champions League both now. Barcelona have had injury problems too maybe but we will see how things will go after recoveries.

It was the first season of Luis Enrique in PSG, he was just settling down to know which direction he will build the team. That was the same period Mbappe was having contract issues with the board, when he was bent on leaving for free. This made the coach to drop him to the bench. Mbappe didn't contribute much in Luis Enrique first season at PSG. So it's not entirely true that Luis Enrique tried to build his team around Mbappe and it didn't work. If he has stayed committed Luis Enrique would have perfectly fitted him in his team and they would have achieved success in the champions league together.

Although I am a Barcelona fan. But you are right that Real Madrid has a high chance of becoming champions this season. Madrid's performance is quite stable. Even though they lost points in a few matches, their performance was not weak.
On the other hand, several important players in Barcelona's squad are still injured. Raphinha, Gavi, Pedri and Garcia are still out of the squad due to injuries. And this is why Barcelona's performance is very irregular.
I hope Barcelona will play well after the international break. Anyway, if they perform so irregularly, it will not be possible for Barcelona to break Madrid's dominance.

[Daniel91]

Barcelona presidential candidate Xavier Vilajoana made very serious accusations that the Barcelona management and Joan Laporta lied about the club's financial situation on his Instagram account. According to an alleged independent report he commissioned, Barcelona's debt has risen to a shocking €4.12 billion, casting doubt on the management's claims that the club is on the path to financial recovery, as well as on the reasons for Messi's departure from the club. Vilajoana believes that Laporta is not actually saving the club but rather lying and deceiving the public. Is Barcelona really on the path to financial recovery, or is it all a big scam and the club is on the brink of bankruptcy?

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.

I also think it is a claim for some other reason that has not reached us.
But at the end of the day, isn't it a player's health that matters? Does he even have to give an account of who is treating you?
But it's too absurd, almost ridiculous, will they be able to carry a decent team forward in these World Cups instead? Instead of creating pointless discussions they should focus on organizing the team well.

Your answer is correct. In a football club, of course, no player is greater than their club. In fact, players can become great because of their club, which makes their name even more famous, so they can be named the best player by being at the club where they play.
Last year, if Mbappé had still been at PSG, he would have won the title with them. This doesn't mean that his move to Real Madrid would have automatically won the title for PSG. It's not that if he were still there that year, the champions would still be champions, it's not that if Mbappe wasn't there, PSG could have won straight away, that's clearly a wrong idea in my understanding.

I understand that not everyone will be able to do it but they have to do it, there is no other way, especially if they are players who serve

For some players, the international break may allow them to take a short break before facing an important match ahead, but for some of their mainstay players, they do not take a break, usually they are called to help their national team to carry out their duties as citizens of their respective countries. If they are lucky, they will return in good condition, but those who experience bad luck sometimes return with injuries, so this international break only benefits some players and coaches, but there is a little worry about the mainstay players because their absence can affect the team performance.

For players who probably do not get to play in their various national teams, this will be a good opportunity for them to get some rest and help them reduce their risk of Ben fatigued resulting from the series of games they had to play before the break, and for those who will be going for an international assignment at their country's team, they will need to gwt a coping mechanism as they will not be having as much resting time, and for the injured players already before the break, we look forward to having them there after.

It was unpredictable, and I don't blame Mbappé for his decision to move to Real Madrid, In fact I think Mbappé's decision to move to Real Madrid was a career development because La Liga is much more competitive than Ligue 1 and Real Madrid is a bigger team than PSG, This is if we look at the overall situation regardless of the title won last season.
And Real Madrid's failure last season will certainly motivate Mbappé, I think he will develop further and contribute significantly to the team.

Real Madrid gives more opportunities to win the UEFA Champions league and also winning the Ballon d'Or Award i believe this is the reason why Mbappe went to Real Madrid, though he can still win it with Real Madrid if they perform well.

Why do you think Mbappe will regret leaving PSG to join Real Madrid? He believes that Real Madrid is the only team that can help him win the Champions League and other awards. I believe you made this assumption because PSG won the Champions League the same season that Mbappe left the club, and he could have won the Champions League if he had stayed last season, which is why you believe he would regret leaving PSG. Mbappe has been with this team for seven good years, and do you think he will regret leaving?

I do not agree with you because PSG Champions League win without Mbappe does not stop Mbappe from winning at Real Madrid. The players who won the Champions League for PSG last season was not all of those who played the last two seasons, they spent a lot of money to sign top players and win the titles they can. If Mbappe does not win this season, he may win in seasons to come.

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.

Yes, i remember well, you're right, actually. I'd never thought about the Barcelona issue and its champions in these terms. i don't know if it's a good idea to depend on just one player, especially since he could get hurt, or worse, he could decide to leave. i don't know, what do you think?

Definitely it was likely to see that Barcelona of last season was not dependent on a single player, definitely I don't know if it was just from my angle, but Barcelona was not dependent on a single player, because almost all players as been playing well. But this year, the pace has been focused on different sight and they likely to have most dependent players like, Lamine Yamal and Raphina. And this is one of their major problem they are having right now, if they can look further to resolve that.

[martinom]

In the end, they will do better without him, only if they had a good midfield ready, neither gavi nor pedri is around so they are going to of course have osme trouble. The win is great though, they really wanted to get a win, after a few not so great games they really needed a good win and they finally got it.

They believed in someone who isn't actually anywhere near De Bruyne, who unfortunately certainly hasn't stood out for his skills during this period.
De Jong plays too arrogantly, it gives me that impression, I really don't like a bad choice in my opinion, after the red card in the lead it's really too stupid to do.
