La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Luzin]

After defeat against Manchester City at home, social media become too hot on Xabi Alonso's future, few are claiming it's 100% sure that he is going to be sacked but few media reports clearly showing that it's going to be not easy for Real Madrid management to take such decision suddenly. Because they know that he is still capable of bringing improvement due to his track records.

This is how a Xabi must think hard to immediately get Madrid back on the right track. I think the media will be buzzing again with this result. But I still believe in Xabi's progress; I think he is still good. He just needs to learn how to manage many talented players in one team. Maybe he should send a message to Zidane or Ancelotti to share experiences because, tactically, Xabi's play is quite good, but managing a team with many star players is a new thing. But I believe that time also plays a role in how Xabi adapts and finds the best approach. I think Madrid's management still very much deserves to keep him and give him at least 2 seasons.

After Real Madrid defeat we might hear a change in the management of the team soon. Xabi Alonso could expect to be replaced from now on. Real owner has no patience on defeats especially in UEFA Champions League and in Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Mbappe absence affected the team and goalkeepers in each side, helped reducing the total number of goals because there were many opportunities to score.
Real Madrid is sinking slowly. They are seventh right now and they were supposed to be in the second place at least if they won the game. Barcelona at least were able to win their game even though their opponent isn't hard to beat.

After defeat against Manchester City at home, social media become too hot on Xabi Alonso's future, few are claiming it's 100% sure that he is going to be sacked but few media reports clearly showing that it's going to be not easy for Real Madrid management to take such decision suddenly. Because they know that he is still capable of bringing improvement due to his track records.

One thing is sure, he is going to be managing game against Alaves on 15th December it's never been easy to handle a team with full of superstars and too many injuries, so pressure keeps increasing, but he is positive about future of the club. There is no doubt on significant drop into their performance in last few games due to internal issues but those needed to be fixed as soon as possible because upcoming few games are going to be important for the decision of his future.

Everything is still grey, but after the defeat to Manchester City, the pressure on Xabi Alonso is getting stronger. Previously, Real Madrid had also contacted Zidane, perhaps Real Madrid Management is still waiting while observing Real Madrid development, if after the defeat they managed to improve the team's performance, Xabi Alonso position is still saved.

Actually, coaching a big team like Real Madrid is easy but difficult, but Xabi is not as lucky as Kompany at Bayern Munich who has full support from management and players, while Xabi has to work hard to develop strategies amidst many injured players and management is stingy in spending money to bring in the players needed. Whoever coaches Real Madrid will be under pressure when the team performs worse than Barcelona. Several previous coaches have also had to leave their positions because they failed to meet the high expectations demanded by management.

But I believe that time also plays a role in how Xabi adapts and finds the best approach. I think Madrid's management still very much deserves to keep him and give him at least 2 seasons.

This won't be easy for Xabi Alonso, as he's a young coach. Although he has a strong strategy, managing a team as big as Real Madrid, under pressure from management and fans who are constantly pressured to perform at their best, is emotionally challenging.

Before the match against Manchester City, rumors had been circulating that the decision regarding Xabi Alonso's future would be decided in that match. Ultimately, they lost to Manchester City at the Bernabeu, so it's natural for those rumors to resurface. I think we'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for Real Madrid's management to make a major decision. It won't be easy for Xabi Alonso to resolve the team's current problems, and I doubt it, as he's a young coach without sufficient experience, unlike Carlo Ancelotti.

[JeffBrad12]

Like what i have expected before if Real still fully backed Xabi despite the lose against Manchester City. I remember some news merchant said he would be fired if he fail in City's game and it's all fake. Even with so many injured defenders, they still able to handle City's game.
That's the reason sacking Xabi won't be the right thing. I also opened ma X and i saw so many video about Madrid fans supported Xavi outside of Bernabeu. So i think he will always be there until the next seasons.

The board is fully trusting him along with Perez. Any bad merchant says he will be sacked is just bullshit news.

Looking at xabi Alonso after yesterday match at the Santiago bernabeu, it's just a matter of when will he get the sack letter because I know that he might be doing his best, but his best is not good enough for a team like real madrid. How would he be doing experiments with his team in a calibre of match like that?
Keeping Kyler mbape on the bench for the whole ninety minutes of the game, someone that is their top scorer?
Even when they were losing and chasing the game, I expected him to bring him on, but I was totally disappointed because his decisions cost the team in that game yesterday, because I believe that if Kyler mbape was present in their attack yesterday, he would have gotten at least a goal and salvage a draw in that game, so with such a performance from xabi Alonso as the manager of real madrid, he will surely get the deserving sack letter, it's just a matter of time.

[khiholangkang]

There will always be criticism for someone's achievements, even from fans. I think Xabi coaches well, but there will still be dissatisfaction from fans or spectators regarding the performance shown by his team. 
We all know Madrid has players with big names and high salaries. Maybe some lines are still inconsistent because some veteran players have had to leave or retire. Xabi just hasn't found a player who can fill the important roles that are vacant.

Everyone's been talking nonstop about Real Madrid following their loss to Celta Vigo, which is sad, it seems, for many people who support Real Madrid (maybe).
It's true that he hasn't been here for a season, so that's perfectly understandable. On the other hand, we know what people's expectations are for Real Madrid. After Xabi Alonso joined Real Madrid, and then Mbappé arrived, Real Madrid also has many other potential players who are considered good and capable of winning La Liga. So, it's perfectly understandable. In my personal opinion, people's dissatisfaction stems from excessive expectations at Real Madrid.

So, perhaps we'll have to see how he makes his market decisions next year, to see if it works or not.

Perhaps it is true that the disappointment comes from having expectations that are too high. After all, Madrid lost the trophy last season and had high hopes of winning it again this season. Every loss will surely bring criticism for the coach and the players as well. But I hope the club management does not rush to make decisions. The team currently has many players with extraordinary talent. They can develop even better.

Sometimes it must be acted quickly to make better decisions, don't delay it or we will receive increasingly bad effects especially when the league title race is still ongoing, there are many things we need to take risks in situations like this if the management wants to make Real Madrid much better.

Last night's match Real Madrid Vs City and Madrid lost with a score of 2-1, not strange, they deserve to lose to City who are getting better every day but Madrid on the contrary, every day is getting worse, at this time the condition of Madrid is definitely getting worse Xabi Alonso will receive a lot of pressure from the public and management, his potential is not the same as when he was at Bayer Leverkusen, maybe he needs more resources for the players he works with, I hope management can keep him until that day comes if they want to still rely on Xabi.

We need more timing for Xabi to deliver and the game against Manchester City is what is expected, we know that Real Madrid have a lot of capacity but with the current conditions of the club and what they have face lately, we shouldn't expect anything different from what we saw this time, Manchester City is a top club and Real Madrid will need to be on their highest motivation to stand up to man city this period of time where most top clubs are fighting to get their standings in all the leagues.

Based on the current performance, if Real Madrid keeps Xabi Alonso for two more seasons, it will definitely destroy their performance in the league. It can still change for the better, but only if Xabi Alonso finds a fast approach; then it will be easier for him to retain his stay at the club. But for now, when Real Madrid needs a better performance, that is when they are performing poorly.

Xabi Alonso was supposed to bring the La Liga title to the club, even though we know it might be a bit hard for him to achieve that now with the way their performance is going. We all know that Real Madrid has what it takes to achieve all that, but it is becoming harder for them. Although, you also have a point, as Xabi Alonso needs to ask for help from past managers.

Manchester City secured an important victory away at Real Madrid. It was a tough match, but Vini missed several clear chances. Similarly, Endrick's shot hit the post. The result remained unchanged, and Real Madrid lost 1-2. For Xabi, the last five games have been a nightmare. They need to get back on track as soon as possible.

[pewboy]

Celta Vigo's second goal also proved how poor Madrid's defense was. It was extremely disappointing. I hope Real Madrid can improve quickly. It seems that this problem is still related to the internal problems at Real Madrid that were discussed some time ago. And I think they need to resolve that issue first before focusing on the next game.

Real Madrid is continuing to do poorly and everyone is seeing this. Now the boys will have many problems and above all the coach too. i have seen that in the Champions League they are not performing very well and the match against Manchester City is the confirmation that what is happening is now the reality.

Considering that Real Madrid regularly perform poorly against smaller teams, it was natural to lose to Manchester City. But both teams had the ability to win and Real Madrid had the better chance of winning. Xabi Alonso needs more time it is true, but despite starting the season well, their fans did not expect such a poor performance at a crucial time. Real Madrid are not out of the woods yet, as there are still many games left in the league. If Alonso can quickly correct the team's mistakes and inspire the players they will not be as disappointed as last season.

@Futurexxx Everyone was tired after the match. It's hard to figure out what Xabi is thinking, and keeping Mbappé on the bench is driving me crazy. The team is already in disarray, it's unclear who's doing what. If things go badly for another couple of games, then things will explode, for now it's just tension.

Nothing will explode because the handwriting is very visible on the wall, or didn't you see the president of real madrid in attendance yesterday?
He was present because he want to see his team play without anyone telling him anything like what goes wrong or what should have gone right if this or that had happens.
So I believe that with what he saw yesterday, I wouldn't say that he was impressed because they would have punished Manchester City especially in the closing stages of the game if Kyler mbape was on the pitch, but for some reasons known to only xabi Alonso, he was benched all through, so to me, xabi Alonso was the reason they lost  that game yesterday with his bad decision making.

Xabi Alonso can breathe a sigh of relief for a while, as he is still given more opportunities and time. This is not only a difficult moment for Xabi Alonso alone, but his players also feel the same way, so they have to work together to find a way to quickly get out of this heavy pressure. It certainly won't be easy considering their confidence has undoubtedly been eroded, but if they can't overcome it, then they could sink even further, and it's likely Xabi Alonso will be forced to leave.

Deportivo Alaves are certainly not an easy opponent to beat, but if Real Madrid want to bounce back then the only way is to win this match.

Yes, I also don't know what's behind it, but maybe Xabi has an attraction that has managed to captivate the hearts of Real Madrid's owner, so even though Real Madrid is performing poorly, it doesn't really affect Xabi's career. But that does make sense, because this is Xabi's first season as a coach at Real Madrid, so maybe it's still reasonable if this season Xabi can't give any trophies to Real Madrid. But in my opinion, even though this is true that this is Xabi's first season as a coach at Real Madrid, but if he is not able to provide significant progress, why keep him? Because basically Real Madrid is already filled with top players, so Xabi should be able to train even better.

Because when Xabi was a coach at Leverkusen, he was able to make the team great, so let alone a team like Real Madrid which has facilities, finances, and also good players. So that's why I personally am actually quite surprised if for example this season Real Madrid doesn't get a single trophy under Xabi's tutelage. And if for example Real Madrid still maintains it even though Real Madrid doesn't get any trophies, I think it can be said that Real Madrid will probably never be able to reach its golden age again. Because if, for example, Real Madrid's performance is bad under Xabi's tutelage and Xabi is still retained, in my opinion, that is an indication that Real Madrid's management team is not as good as it used to be.

Celta Vigo's second goal also proved how poor Madrid's defense was. It was extremely disappointing. I hope Real Madrid can improve quickly. It seems that this problem is still related to the internal problems at Real Madrid that were discussed some time ago. And I think they need to resolve that issue first before focusing on the next game.

Real Madrid is continuing to do poorly and everyone is seeing this. Now the boys will have many problems and above all the coach too. i have seen that in the Champions League they are not performing very well and the match against Manchester City is the confirmation that what is happening is now the reality.

And everyone is getting tired of Real Madrid's poor performance, which started when Xabi Alonso took over as their coach. Their players are so relaxed that they are not even putting any form of effort, or so-called, they are just acting as if they no longer care, and it has affected the club seriously because the reason they are there is that they need to do better, and both the Champions League and La Liga, they are just too relaxed, this started since last season and we thought things are going to be better this season but it is looking as if it is worst at this point, they have not been able to be consistent and another thing is that, Manchester city was even more serious than them yesterday.

[MAAManda]

That's the reason sacking Xabi won't be the right thing. I also opened ma X and i saw so many video about Madrid fans supported Xavi outside of Bernabeu. So i think he will always be there until the next seasons.

It was not a wise decision to fire him in the middle of the process, managing big club is never an easy process, because of the many demands placed on him by the club. I think Xabi is confused now, because Real Madrid isn't only underperforming in the UCL, but also in the domestic league. Initially, Real Madrid was far ahead of Barcelona, ​​until finally in recent weeks Real Madrid consistently got unexpected match results. Well, let's see how this drama continues.

[changaa]

Madrid needs to win this match because they are currently in 4th place in the Champions League standings, meaning they need three points to climb up the table and avoid further pressure. it is indeed a bit difficult for them, especially after their embarrassing defeat against Celta Vigo, which put them under heavy mental pressure, and the defeat occurred at home, but they cannot dwell on it and need to prove that they are still capable of competing despite recent setbacks, and therefore they need to win no matter what.

Real Madrid if they continue in this mode of play will need more to move up the table, they are playing at times good at times bad, they are not convincing on the pitch and they fail to give the true value of the team that is on the pitch.
They seem to be trying to recover in every way, is a real shame if they can't, they've always been a great team and should be at the top.

[Shadiq]

They seem to be trying to recover in every way, is a real shame if they can't, they've always been a great team and should be at the top.

With such form, winning the La Liga title will not be easy and winning the Champions League will be very difficult. They now seem to be a somewhat unstable team like Manchester United, they have forgotten the consistency and are creating uncertainty on the field. They do not seem to be favorites against any team, be it a small team or a big team. Two consecutive defeats at home are pushing Xabi Alonso into a difficult time. The task is becoming even more difficult for him now. If such results continue, Xabi may not be able to survive at Real Madrid for very long.

This is how a Xabi must think hard to immediately get Madrid back on the right track. I think the media will be buzzing again with this result. But I still believe in Xabi's progress; I think he is still good. He just needs to learn how to manage many talented players in one team. Maybe he should send a message to Zidane or Ancelotti to share experiences because, tactically, Xabi's play is quite good, but managing a team with many star players is a new thing. But I believe that time also plays a role in how Xabi adapts and finds the best approach. I think Madrid's management still very much deserves to keep him and give him at least 2 seasons.

I still can't understand the reason behind Xabi Alonso's frequent rotation and strategy in different matches. If the reason is to find a good strategy with the right players in the starting XI, I think the strategy when defeating Athletic Club was reliable because each player could connect well without giving the opponent the slightest gap. At the start of the season he managed to impress everyone after Real Madrid managed to achieve consecutive wins in La Liga, after losing to Atletico on September 27, Real Madrid returned to the gas with four consecutive wins, after that Real Madrid slowly lost momentum which gave rise to much speculation about his future at Real Madrid.

Xabi must be more confident in his abilities because Real Madrid was previously on a positive path, he must take advantage of the opportunity given by the club's top brass to prove to everyone that he is still worthy of serving as Real Madrid's coach.
