La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Minor Miner]

I'm sure of that, especially since Real Madrid's management is always building the team to win titles. Otherwise, they'll make major changes, and Xabi Alonso will certainly be fired.
The situation between Barcelona and Real Madrid is different. Hansi Flick has been Barcelona's coach since last season, making it somewhat easier for him to solve the team's problems. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso is a new coach at Real Madrid, especially since he's a young coach with minimal experience. It will be very difficult for him to create strong chemistry within a Real Madrid squad that boasts many star players. Naturally, the players' egos are also very large, making this even more difficult.

IMO, even if they don't win the title this season, alonso probably will not be sacked if madrid's performance remains consistent. If he can prove his worth, bring stability to Madrid's overall performance, and develop decent match tactics, then maybe Madrid management will be happy. Madrid management usually plans for the long term. Even if they do not  win the title this season, if Alonso can bring stability to madrid's performance, then Real Madrid will definitely dominate La Liga next season. Alonso is talented,  he should be given more time. He won't disappoint Madrid management.

Villarreal? Competing for the trophy? They won't even be able to do that from the start, so why are we talking about a rivalry that won't be possible.

Competition in La Liga for the trophy is only for Barcelona and Madrid no other club will be able to do that even for Atletico who are always in the top 4 at the end of the season.

Competition in La Liga is mainly between Barcelona and Real Madrid and in some seasons, Atletico Madrid join this competition and even win a league trophy. Villareal are improving and they should never stop dreamming as it is a main force and motivation of any club growth. They're still less competitive than Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid but by setting up their ambitious target and try to improve themselves each season, they might become a most dangerous underdog against top three in La Liga.

Because almost every year only 2 clubs can compete until the end there is no club that can really give a big surprise in La Liga even though there are some clubs that are developing quite well or one season wonder like Girona did a few seasons ago but that is not enough to make competition open to all clubs.

Atletico are only a complement to the top 3 and the last time they competed for the trophy was when they managed to stop the dominance of Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020 season after that they couldn't do much.
So in this case the clubs that have always been dark horses they actually only compete for positions in 3 to 6/7 because for the race for the trophy or second place is always the same where Barcelona and Madrid are always strong candidates.

[ITExpert]

Barcelona successfully made good use of the momentum when Real Madrid experienced a dip in form, and they did not waste the opportunity to take over the top spot in the standings. Overall, if examined more closely, Barcelona have actually faced tougher challenges, but Hansi Flick has managed to handle them more effectively. Xabi Alonso, despite having an ideal squad depth, has not yet been able to create the expected consistency. In my opinion, their problems lie in the difficulty of uniting the egos of star players. If Xabi Alonso fails to live up to expectations and deliver a trophy this season, he will likely be sacked.

Barcelona is a good team and performs in a much better way. I think we can't ignore the contribution of their manager in their good performance. This is what a manager can do to his team this is the reason why every team needs a good and experienced coach. Because a coach is the one who can make the team this way that they can jump themselves from down to up. And there are many examples of how a coach can ruin the overall stability of the team. But on the other side the Real Madrid team is not on the same level the team Barcelona is currently chasing. And this is because of their manager. In fact Xabi Alonso is a good manager but he is not showing his goodies in the performance of the team. This is true that he has the potential to do the great but now there is a need to identify the problems which are causing a decline in their performance.

Hansi flick is a great coach. And because  of his hard work, Barcelona is now at the top of the la liga table. Barcelona's performance was erratic in some  matches due to injuries. But Flick has largely  reduced the internal problems of the squad. Now barcelona's performance is consistent and strong.

Barcelona defeated the strong Villarreal in the last match of La liga. Barcelona broke Villarreal's long winning streak. Barcelona also won against Frankfurt in the champions league match. If Barcelona players do not face injuries again, it seems that barcelona's performance will  remain stable.

Almost all coaches can't deliver titles straight away in their first season. But clubs like Real Madrid always demand instant results and force their coaches to deliver titles. Xabi Alonso is certainly a talented coach, but if Real Madrid doesn't win anything this season, he'll likely be sacked, especially since Real Madrid didn't win any titles last season, so they hired Alonso to break Barcelona's dominance.

You are right that clubs like Madrid want to win titles every season. And even if they change coaches, they certainly want immediate results. But we have seen Madrid's inconsistent performance under Ancelotti. Madrid did not win any titles last season. And they lost four El Clasicos badly against Barcelona. Alonso took over at a time when Real Madrid's overall situation was not stable. He is trying to stabilize Madrid's overall performance. But this season Madrid has again faced injury problems. As a result, Madrid's performance has become somewhat inconsistent again. We cannot blame Alonso alone for this. For these reasons, I do not think Madrid's management will decide so quickly to fire Alonso.

[Scarlett_23]

There is a lot of time left in this season in La Liga. In the beginning, Real Madrid had a good pace of play and they held the top spot of the points list for a long time. Since El Clasico, Real Madrid started losing points and Barcelona players started performing well after recovering from injuries. Due to which they can gradually stay at the top of the points list and currently they are maintaining this position. However, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are first grade teams. So in the end they will try to snatch the trophy by competing with each other. Let's see who can be the owner of the desired trophy.

It is possible for something like this to happen but on the one hand we know that Madrid always rejects the name failure regardless of performance failure is still failure and it will not be taken for granted by Madrid and Pérez who in fact always expect the best results.

Xabi is still worthy enough to be given more opportunities because this season is actually still quite lacking but things like this also depend on how he mixes the squad and how satisfied the officials from Madrid are.
We're only halfway through the season and there's still plenty of time for Madrid to improve on their performance so it should be a showcase to answer the expectations that have been placed on them so far. The players are starting to come back from their injury woes and the time is right for them to get back into the competition and put in a good performance.

Real Madrid is a great club, so their demands are certainly high. Regarding Xabi, at least we still see him at Real Madrid for now, but we don't know for sure.

It's not just the coach, but the players too. Real Madrid has deliberately let go of several players for various reasons. The most recent was Endrick, their big signing when he was still very young. Now, Real Madrid has released Endrick to Lyon on loan. The loan will run until June, and there is no buy option.

Endrick is still very young, I am notifying you because you wrote that when he was still very young. I understand the pressure coaches has giving regular game time to Young players especially teenagers, the Chelsea coach is also facing that problem with Estevao, so far amongst teenagers it is Lamine Yamal of Barcelona and Doue of PSG that gets guarantee playing time, there may be others but this two are most likely the biggest.
I believe Endrick will develop at Lyon, he is quality that is no doubt and he just needs the chance to play.

Well, the main objective for his firing is inconsistency, like his performance is unstable. In some matches he had better results, but soon in another match he capped poor displays. So this is the thing which make his career a little bit skeptical because Real Madrid is a big team, and every time they need a better results whether you are great coach or not. Just your performance will be the main aim....

So Xabi Alonso is still trailing with lack of confidence, and his performance level is still unsatisfactory despite the Real Madrid bringing him in for better performance, not an average or poor. If we compared Xabi Alonso to Angelotti, then probably at that time Angelotti performance was still better than the current Xabi Alonso performance.

Xabi Alonso's performance against all teams, big and small, is unsatisfactory and inconsistent. Even against small teams, Real Madrid's performance is becoming questionable, you will fail to trust them. Because we have already seen some matches that were hard to believe that Real Madrid lost the matches. The home defeats were even more painful for Real Madrid fans. Still, I think sacking Alonso will not be the solution, some good players are needed. Maybe we will see the necessary signings in the winter transfer window.

Hmmm, your argument is making sense, but anyway I will mention something more that all the time Real Madrid only utilizes a big name, not a young talent like I mean they only prefer experienced players. So the same situation I am seeing here is that Xabi Alonso is not even look towards him in entire Real Madrid coaching like he is  it taking his trustworthy for his team plan although he is a rising talent and giving some time is necessary for his career....

So to be honest I am very happy on the Endrick move because this poor kid spend most of his career on beach. So probably moving away for Real Madrid can be a beneficiary for his career.

In terms of consistency, Barcelona has been so good at maintaining their consistency that they have a four-point lead over Real Madrid, and this will likely continue, given Barcelona's very positive momentum. So it will be quite difficult for Real Madrid to catch Barcelona, ​​as they haven't shown the same consistency as Barcelona.
Xabi needs to improve Real Madrid's consistency as they've lost their momentum in leading La Liga. He needs to think holistically to come up with the best strategy to ensure Real Madrid can consistently pick up three points... and hope that Barcelona can be caught out by another team, so they can climb up the table.

Very good, I just love this and I'm happy for him. I had always wanted him to leave and go for a loan move since the last transfer window because I knew he wasn't going to be getting enough game time considering the kind of players that are above him in that attacking position, there's no way he was going to be benching them, I knew this and wondered why he chose to stay that period. Maybe his seen that truly there's no space and Alonso is not willing to gamble with him in playing him. Good move, at least he will getting enough game time from Lyon where he will continue to build and build himself for the bigger task ahead of him with Real Madrid. But one thing I know is that, if Real Madrid still notices that there will be no space for him, they will sell him. I love the way Real Madrid does with players that has potentials but won't play in the team, they usually sell such players instead of tying them down with contracts. I could still remember what happened with them and Odegard and Kubo Take.

Between Barcelona coach and Real Madrid coach i prefer Barcelona coach because he has many experience, Hansi Flick is a very good manager, which I respected him so much I started watching him closely since last season he moves as if he will not get to end point, he has a lot of quality which real Madrid coach don't have, when it comes to relationship between players I observed that Hansi Flick always do it compared to how Xabi Alonso behave towards his players.

If the coach is good and does not have good relationship with the player, honestly thing will be worst because what really matter is that relationship, once it is there the sky will be your limit and I quality believe that is what is making Barcelona to grow. Xabi Alonso really how to initiate that relationship so that he will make a very good coach for Real Madrid.

Even when Barcelona players were injured, Barcelona did not look bad. El Clasico matches have always been decisive in La Liga. If you lose a few El Clasico matches, it's already clear what level your team is at that season. There's still hope for Real Madrid. But the truth is Barcelona is much better this season. It might be too early to say, but it already seems like Barcelona deserves the trophy more.

[Agbe]

There is no basis for this comparisons because these two coaches are not in the same level in everything,Xavi Alonso is a young coach that just started coaching few years ago so he is still learning and that, will reflect on the way that he approaches his players and even in the way he handles matters that may arise. Hansi flick has gathered enough experience to coach any team because he has managed plenty of teams at the highest level. This season Alonso is struggling with his team simply because he is still trying to study the players and how to relate successfully with them, he has not been able to do that because he is new to the environment.

[Alex077]

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are first grade teams. So in the end they will try to snatch the trophy by competing with each other. Let's see who can be the owner of the desired trophy.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are both incredibly strong team. However currently Barcelona is ahead in La Liga. They are at the top of the table & have created a significant points gap over Real Madrid by winning their recent matches

My opinion is that Real Madrid should not be underestimated as they defeated Barcelona in El Clasico this season. But considering Blaugrana's current form and their winning streak it seems they are the main favorite to win the title. However you are right there is still a lot left in this season! If they slip up once or twice the situation could change completely

[Baki202]

Between Barcelona coach and Real Madrid coach i prefer Barcelona coach because he has many experience, Hansi Flick is a very good manager, which I respected him so much I started watching him closely since last season he moves as if he will not get to end point, he has a lot of quality which real Madrid coach don't have, when it comes to relationship between players I observed that Hansi Flick always do it compared to how Xabi Alonso behave towards his players.

I actually prefer barcelona coach to Real Madrid coach actually but if he should look at it on a more explanable way you will notice that they have different problems the problem of Real Madrid is different from that of Barcelona and if you should look at it it is as real Madrid coach are not in good terms with there players. And it is not as xabi Alonso is a good coach but there problem is totally different. Because if you should look at it real Madrid have better players than Barcelona but a time of performance barcelona are performing better than Real Madrid so the situation is an internal problem and we are waiting to see what the management is going to do about it.

If the coach is good and does not have good relationship with the player, honestly thing will be worst because what really matter is that relationship, once it is there the sky will be your limit and I quality believe that is what is making Barcelona to grow. Xabi Alonso really how to initiate that relationship so that he will make a very good coach for Real Madrid.

The relationship with the players matters a lot and that is why if there is no good relationship between the Coach and the player the results that the club will be getting will not be pleasant at all, and this is why there should be a reconciliation between the Real Madrid players and their coach because that is just the only way they can fix their poor performance because it is actually getting out of hand and they annoying things it is even affecting the reputation, of real Madrid and we are all getting tired.
