La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[MorganaX]

Hansi flick really knows his team and makes them play as good as possible, for a while they were not at the lead because they had many players out in injury and that caused them some trouble but recently they have capitalize on Real Madrid losing points and that is helping them with players returned and they got the lead.

Flick will do whatever it takes to win la liga because he knows that it is not easy to win anything else, he may get the cup if lucky but the reality is that for him the only one that matters is the league so they will put all of their efforts into that. UCL is not a joke, they will want to win of course, who wouldn't, but it is very difficult and focusing on the league and beating small teams with no mistake results is easier to do.

One good quality of a good coach is the ability of such a coach to manage players no matter how bad the players are and try and bring out the best in a view to win games and getting all three points. And that is what Hansi Flick has been able to do so far this season because looking at Barcelona this season so far you can see that most of their players has not been in the best of forms.


This is the difference this season so far between Barcelona and Madrid, player management is very important if a coach plans to get the best of of his player's

A good coach will never relent on his play to get a good outcome no matter the situation height be in, either during injury crisis or not, and no doubt, naming Hansi flick is very correct, as the man as done extremely well for the team, and this we can clearly see it. There are some times, a key player will be missing, and it will be like, as if that player is never existing in that club. Now let's take a look at Pedri been out for some couple of matches, but still the team is able to play even from the mield field. This is why Hansi flick is a good coach to carry all players along.

Every coach always strives to ensure the team doesn't rely on one or two existing players so that when those players are unable to play in future matches, the team as a whole still performs well and doesn't experience a stagnation in its own performance. I also see Hansi Flick as a good example of coaching, but in other leagues, I also see Guardiola as a successful coach because he's been able to keep the team on an extraordinary path amidst challenging competition.

Madrid has lost two experienced and talented midfielders like luka modric and toni kroos. Madrid's current midfielders are quite talented. But madrid has not been able to create a worthy replacement for Kroos and modric. And it is not possible for madrid to find a worthy replacement for these two players. And this  void has not yet been filled by real madrid. Bellingham is very talented. He scored a lot in the last season too. But  this season bellingham is not able to perform  as well as expected. Even if Bellingham's bperformance improves, Madrid's midfield will be more stable.

Yep that's true!!!
Real Madrid loses one of the two amazing player Kroos and Modric. Thus far indeed Jude Bellingham is a talented player but here I will mention something more that talent doesn't work everywhere despite experience work everywhere because it a football. So Jude Bellingham is talented players but he didn't have the capacity to solve the difficult situation for the team. He is still young and definitely it will take a time to adopt the Meringue play methodology.....

Real Madrid current squad depth is perfect but here in midfield area they need a good player who can contribute the team with brilliant playmaking skill. I think in January they need some signing to regain their strength and put their gears again for the league competition.

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.

Yeah, he's 19.
Real Madrid's hopes for Endrick are very high, at least as high as they were when they signed Bellingham. However, it seems he needs more playing time, and a move to Lyon will give him more time. And why not buy the option? Real Madrid still believes in Endrick's future potential. Although, compared to Yamal and Estevao as younger players, his performance hasn't been that impressive.

Endrick is still young and we have to recall that both Vincius Jr. and Rodrygo did not have easy beginnings with Real Madrid. Endrick joined Real Madrid when they already many world class attacking players so he naturally has very limited opportunities of playing in matches. Moving to Lyon in a loan transfer will help Endrick having more opportunites, firstly for playing more regularly, secondly for sharpening his skills and strengthen his mentality, and lastly giving him chance of a call for Brazil national team in World Cup 2026.

I see true big potential from Endrick and he is professional so far, so his future in my opinion is bright enough. He only needs more time, more opportunities, more regular appearances in matches, and I am quite sure that Endrick will return to Real Madrid with a different position.

Real Madrid loss crucial position both players Luka Modric and Toni Kroos make central midfielder more balance when attacking or defense playing, indeed have several top players such as Jude Bellingham, Arda Guller and Valverde but still can't replacing well the position leave by both legend players of Real Madrid Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

In my opinion, Madrid have full position at midfielder but some time Alonso make huge rotation by moving Valverde to play at right defender position, actually playing at central midfielder is good position for him he can play well when attacking or holding games. Madrid need to sign new defender again how easy several central defender get injury and not moving yet Valverde have to play as right defender player.

Barcelona's lead is positive, they're doing really well and this should be a source of pride for them. i am trying to give an objective judgement on what Barcelona are doing and i have to say that up until now they've been flawless, a little less so at the start of the championship but now they're really in form.

Barcelona are really on another level now compared to Real Madrid these days. We see there is a huge gap between their performances. Barcelona are much more productive. Not only at creating chances but also scoring them...

On the other hand Xabi Alonso's students are trying to get better. There was improvement in their last game. But the defending is still a doubt though. Sevilla found so many goal opportunities. 1.56 xG.

Barcelona are currently better than Real Madrid especially because they kept the same manager and they already know what to do on the pitch. Real Madrid chose an emerging manager with different ideas, and he is giving a lot of space to may young players but it looks like he is also kind of stubborn, so there are some problem in Madrid's dressing room. Anyway I wouldn't say that Barcelona "are on another level", that's too much for me.

I support the majority of the points mentioned here. The facts about Endrick age are often lost due to the hype surrounding this teenager, yet at 19 the boy is still at a very early stage of development. In a team such as Real Madrid, it is very hard to have regular minutes as a teenager, especially when the demands are high. The decision to move to Lyon is logical since it is not a big club where the time on the bench can be more valuable than the time on the field. The fact that Real Madrid reserves the chance to sign him back is also an indicator that they have not lost hope in him. When you place him next to others such as Lamine Yamal or Estevao, opportunity and trust will be the biggest factor, rather than inherent talent. All Endrick wants is continuity.

[Pandu Geddon]

All Endrick wants is continuity.

Endrick clearly needs more playing time to show his abilities. The competition in the Madrid team is certainly tougher, so Endrick could get a chance to play at Lyon. If he can demonstrate the quality and mentality ready for competition in Madrid, I think he will get a chance in the team when he returns to Madrid. The smart contract that was agreed upon is also short. He has to show his abilities within the time and opportunities given.

Is not about keeping same manager that's why Barcelona are better, is because consistency and how they play they improve where they know that their performance is not as impressive as they want. Having players who think as one and have one idea is another that have kept Barcelona going, you can hard tell who's scoring the next goal for the club but whenever it comes to Madrid it must be Mbappe or by mistake Bellingham or another random player so that is how I think is best to say Barcelona are better.

Before World Cup 2022, there was noise on media that Brazil national team's head coach should call Endrick for that World Cup. Even Endrick was very young in 2022, it will give him great opportunities to learn from the national team star players and the World Cup 2022. Eventually he was not called for it, and with the coming World Cup 2026, four years later, I believe that Endrick no longer want to miss it. Moving to Lyon possibly gives Endrick more appearances that can help him showing his ability and get a slot for World Cup 2026.

Endrick can stay in Real Madrid if a next year is not a year of World Cup 2026, so with this big tournament comes next year, Endrick does not want to waste one World Cup in his career. The decision to leave Real Madrid, move to Lyon, is a big decision for his career and I wish Endrick the best journey with Lyon as if it goes well, he will have good opportunity to join World Cup 2026 with Brazil.

Perhaps at the time the coach didn't think it was appropriate to give Endrick playing time because he was still very young and there were many other players who were much more deserving than Endrick on the World Cup stage. At Endrick's young age it's fitting that he join a team of the age group he's most comfortable with. The World Cup requires complete preparation both mentally and individually for every player. Endrick is currently seeking new opportunities with other teams to gain playing time. He might even be called up by the Brazilian national team's coaching team for future World Cup appearances.
A big name is no longer a key factor in securing a national team slot. However every player now desires playing time. With playing time our quality is readily apparent and a big name is no longer necessary. A big name's reputation is often outweighed by the playing time a player gets at their respective clubs. This has often happened with star players and it was during Endrick's time.

[Gallar]

In my opinion, Barcelona will win this time around in El Clasico.
I see Real Madrid too lost in their problems, and i see Xabi Alonso confused and under pressure.
If Real Madrid's friends fail to resolve their problems, they will leave the field open for Barcelona to race against.

Yes, I'm also sure of that, because currently Barcelona looks good again in performance and is ready to slaughter every opponent they will face without exception. So that's why Real Madrid seems to have no hope of winning the upcoming El Clasico match, because basically if Barcelona plays against Real Madrid with their current performance, it's clear that Barcelona will win. Because in the first El Clasico match, the reason Barcelona lost to Real Madrid was due to many of their main players being injured if I'm not mistaken.

So that's why Real Madrid was able to win against Barcelona. But now Barcelona is 100 percent ready in my opinion, because their main players also look fit. So it's certain they will also be able to bring out their best performance when facing Real Madrid in the upcoming El Clasico match. And considering Real Madrid's current situation, I am personally increasingly convinced that Real Madrid will not have much hope of winning when they face Barcelona.

Madrid need to sign new defender again how easy several central defender get injury and not moving yet Valverde have to play as right defender player.

Yes, since the departure of great players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos from Real Madrid, the team has been facing a lot of weakness. Although they currently have players in their positions, they are not as good as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. However, we have seen that Real Madrid's finishing is very good, where good players like Mbappe and Vinicius can give great finishing. However, Real Madrid definitely needs to have better midfielders and strengthen the defense system. Although there are some players whose performance is not very convenient, I think if the coach makes good decisions, he will definitely be able to build the team in a strong way. Since some of Real Madrid's defenders are injured, their positions will have to be filled. If Valverde is played as a right defender, there may be some changes, but I think the team needs good defenders who can do both defense and attack.

Now let's take a look at Pedri been out for some couple of matches, but still the team is able to play even from the mield field. This is why Hansi flick is a good coach to carry all players along.

Flick achieved similar success when Raphinha was injured. He is able to find the best players to fill the gaps left by injured players. That's his success. When we said that the injury of a player like Raphinha, who was at the peak of his form, was a serious problem for Barcelona, ​​he always turned to alternative tactics and continued to win matches in the best way possible. Flick is someone who could manage Barcelona for many years. Because Barcelona's economic recovery is nearing its end, and they can build a better squad. Flick has achieved amazing things despite the limited squad he has. When he builds the squad he wants, probably no one will be able to surpass Barcelona.

We see that Real Madrid isn't as lucky as Barcelona when it comes to injured players. Both last year and this year, they've lagged behind Barcelona because of injuries. Maybe Flick should teach Xabi something about this

[G_Besar]

Barcelona have more consistent players from the backline, through the midfield, and into attack, so they always look better in any match because the players' teamwork is truly well-developed in every game they play. I also think Barcelona will continue to improve every week if Real Madrid don't make significant improvements in the coming weeks. Because the only way Real Madrid can beat Barcelona is to be stronger and better than Barcelona is currently, so they can keep closing the gap and reducing points when they meet again in the second half of the season.

I think it's all because Endrick doesn't get a main place in the Real Madrid team so his quality doesn't develop and is also not visible and I think that's normal especially Endrick is a young player and also in terms of quality he is inferior to the core players in the Real Madrid team and it is indeed appropriate for Endrick to look for another team or at least be loaned to another team if Endrick wants to develop, otherwise it will be difficult for Endrick to develop his career.

Yes, it's true as you said because the players chosen by the coach are certainly the players who often appear with the club in their respective competitions so this is a problem that must be faced by the Real Madrid player, because currently in the position occupied by Endrick in the Real Madrid squad, there are certainly quite a lot of choices so that for their current coach they are also confused in terms of choosing players in that position so one of the reasons that we think for Endrick is that he must immediately leave and look for a new club that can get regular playing minutes so that with this of course when there is a World Cup all the coaches who train the teams of each country will certainly see their players who are worthy of being called to defend the national team and this is one of the things that Endrick must do.

Barcelona built their team from the academy, and although they also bought some players, perhaps most of the current players came from there. Their ability to perform as well and consistently as they do is due to the established teamwork, and the players have a much stronger bond with each other. Essentially, the coach also influences the team's overall performance, and I think the coach also determines the club's success because he is the one who makes decisions about preparing for matches. His approach may be different, because if you look at some of the players who frequently score goals at Real Madrid, the names that often come up are the ones you mentioned, and that's true. Real Madrid's style of play is perhaps different from Barcelona's.

I will always credit Barcelona's performance in the league title race to the ability and competency of their manager hansi flick, because this was the same Barcelona's team that was struggling under xabi Hernandez, but since he came into the team as the teams head coach, he has transformed them to become a force again, not just in the Spanish laliga but also in Europe, because that fear factor that left Barcelona when xavi Hernandez and the coach before him is now back, so regardless of what anyone thinks, hansi flick is the main reason Barcelona are back to their feet in the field of play.
So I wouldn't necessarily credit the performance of the Barcelona team to their academy since these academy players weren't doing well when xavi Hernandez was their manager.
