La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Shineup]

I'm not sure Xabi will let him go easily. Xabi still needs him; he has been performing very well. But there is still no news regarding a new contract extension deal. However, Xabi should try to persuade Vinicius to stay with Madrid. Even the media are making the most of this rumor. There are reports that Al Ittihad is ready to bring him to the Saudi Pro League. But at his current age, I think going to Arabia would reduce the competition. If Vinicius leaves, he should still continue his career in Europe; going to Arabia should be the last option.

It's just that we all know the ability of clubs from the Saudi Pro League in player transfer negotiations. They have enough money to buy players who are not getting the salary offers they want from their clubs. 
Vini surely has the desire to remain at a European club where the competition makes him more competitive. If Madrid agrees to the contract extension request with the desired salary, Madrid should be the best place for his career.

I think if Xabi Alonso should let Vinicius leave that will be the worst mistake he'd ever made the due of Mbappe and Vinicius is really something else and he's thinking of letting him go? Hell no, it seems he seems to forget that Vinicius in that team is a very big threat like he draw some kind of attention that sometimes helps Real Madrid to win games and they are thinking of letting him go, that is quite hilarious anyway, my advice to Xabi Alonso is if he really wants to win the Spanish LA Liga title this season or next he needs players like Vinicius no cap.

Yup I also heard this news, Lewandowski's contract ends next season this means Barcelona needs a new striker and Dušan Vlahovi? is on the list. I'm not so sure about Dušan Vlahovi? in La Liga, but maybe Barcelona will consider him when they bring in for free or on a cheap, at least as an alternative before finding the most appropriate one. Another question is will Vlahovi? be able to compete with Ferran Torres for the starting lineup? I'm sure this will be a consideration for Vlahovi? because there is potential on the bench.

I think Vlahovi? is an excellent player who can give great results, i have to say that this boy can do very well, at Juventus he doesn't find much to do because is a very competitive environment that makes everything very difficult, now he definitely has to change environment when he can

I agree that this particular stat is superb and excellent for any other teams but Xabi will continue to receive criticism until he tops Barcelona, that's the perks of being a manager for a very big club and a club that strives for perfection. Please remember that even with about 60% in win ratio across all competitions last season and 15 trophies for Real Madrid, Carlos Ancelotti a club legend was still replaced, so Xabi doesn't have any right to ask for leniency.

Real Madrid could not win any title in the last season. Madrid lost all four matches against Barcelona. Madrid management is definitely expecting a title from Alonso.

Madrid won this El Clasico. After a long time, Madrid won a match against Barcelona. This is definitely an achievement of Alonso. But at the same time, Alonso has to ensure this year's La Liga title. But Madrid's performance is still irregular. Alonso has not yet been able to find Madrid's best XI. He wanted to keep Rodrygo out of the squad. But Rodrygo has performed excellently in several matches. Rodrygo is probably suitable with Alonso's match strategy. Alonso is trying to stabilize Madrid's performance by changing the match strategy and formation. Hopefully, Madrid's performance will gradually become strong again.

I'm sure Vinicius won't go to the Saudi Arabian team, he's still very young and many top European teams are willing to pay a lot for Vinicius and I don't really believe the rumors about this, Vinicius is Real Madrid's mainstay player so of course the team management will keep him and Vinicius is also aware of his capacity so he won't act as he pleases especially since Real Madrid's management is experienced enough to handle top players.

He won't go to Saudi Arabia and play for any club there in this season, at least in this season he will stay in Real Madrid and Europe because the next summer will be World Cup 2026. Vinicius needs to play for a big club at highest level in Europe as his preparation for World Cup 2026. When this big tournament has only about 6 more months till its kickoff, it's risky to move to any club in January 2026. Even moving to another big club in Europe is not a best choice for Vinicius and any transfer with the Brazilian player, I believe it will happen after World Cup 2026.

We all see that Vinicius is not happy in Real Madrid since the last season with appearance of Mbappe and changes in the club for his role as well as the club lacks of support for the player when he felt Xabi Alonso treating him badly or unfairly. Vinicius will leave Real Madrid, I believe, but not in January 2026.

Are barcelona planning to buy a new striker ? I think Hansi Ffick has already found a worthy replacement for Lewandowski. Ferran torres is performing incredibly well this season. Torres is now barcelona's top scorer. With the help of flick, Torres is becoming more experienced  day by day.

If torres works hard and can continue  his good performance, then flick will no doubt use torres as a replacement for lewandowski. Also, vlahovic is a great player , no doubt about  it. Adding this striker to the squad will undoubtedly strengthen barcelona's attack.

The definition of an excellent player is that he is excellent in a competitive environment. Your contradiction couldn't b any bigger than that. He is now at 13 games and 3 goals. If that is what you call excellent, you may not be an expert.

Vlahovic has been in the grey zone for too long when it's about excellence. You could see his potential years ago in some games, but then he disappeared and didn't score for 2 months. No great club needs a player like that. If you are a club that is only fighting for staying the league, perhaps Vlahovic could be helping. Everybody who says that Vlahovic is the player Barcelona needs, I say lol.
I won't deny that Barcelona as a team could make him better and evoke more of his potential, but he won't be a top striker. He can't maintain a good level or long and that is what the best teams need.

Last season's failure made the club's top brass furious, Ancelotti position as manager could no longer be saved and they appointed Alonso as the new coach in the hope of bringing changes to the team as he had done for Leverkusen. After starting the season with very impressive results and winning El Clasico again, Real Madrid performance has slowly begun to decline, they have to give up the top of the standings to Barcelona and are now 4 points behind their toughest rivals.

Alonso still seems stiff and very cautious in giving his players playing opportunities, some young players rarely get playing time, even though previously in the Ancelotti era, Rodrygo and Endrick often received trust and often scored goals. Alonso still needs to find several other players who meet his criteria to maintain the balance of his squad. Currently, he must focus more on the defense and midfield because in those areas, mistakes often occur which result in losing points in several important matches.

The Negreira case that involves Barcelona and the referees, trust me this guys has been doing some illegal things within the Spanish federation for long but I guess money, influence has made everyone quiet for long time. With time, more and more cases involving Barcelona and the corruptions they have done all over the years will be reveal, even Real Madrid isn't too pure to be investigated.

So you tell us, how is Real Madrid involved in that Negreira case?
While you are at it, it would be so nice to site some sources as well so that we understand the extent of the case because it seems you know so much that some of us do not know. Right now you are just speculating and it isn't cool. Always go for the facts.

Speaking of Rodrygo, he is very inconsistent and has done well in some matches but overall his performance is not that good. Alonso was more interested in keeping him on the bench but he has played well in the last several matches. Only 1 goal in 16 matches in La Liga is not a good player statistics for the Real Madrid team. Vinícius had high expectations but he has not been able to meet those expectations. Only Kylian Mbappé is still maintaining his individual performance and has been making an important contribution to the team's victory.

More than six months have passed for Alonso but it may be a bad experience for him that he has not been able to build the best team that he can rely on. He will build a team that will not have to worry too much about winning against the underdogs. Winning the El Clasico match against Barcelona is a big achievement for Real Madrid but they are unable to maintain that achievement. The team's ability to win seems to be deteriorating more than increasing.

Alonso has brought a mediocre team like leverkusen to the Bundesliga title. Alonso broke Bayern munich's long-standing  dominance. With Alonso's help, Leverkusen won the title without losing the entire season. This is a great record.

Since Alonso was completely  successful with leverkusen, that is why the Madrid management decided to give alonso the responsibility of manager. There is no doubt that he is  talented. But he is not able to manage the Madrid squad properly. They have a very  strong squad. Even then, madrid's performance is irregular.

Madrid's squad is strong. But the relationship between the players is weak. Only if alonso can strengthen this chemistry between the players can madrid perform consistently well. Alonso should be given time this season. If Madrid's performance does not show a positive change, Alonso may be fired before the end of the season. But , the Madrid management does not make decisions on these matters quickly.

I think if Xabi Alonso should let Vinicius leave that will be the worst mistake he'd ever made the due of Mbappe and Vinicius is really something else and he's thinking of letting him go? Hell no, it seems he seems to forget that Vinicius in that team is a very big threat like he draw some kind of attention that sometimes helps Real Madrid to win games and they are thinking of letting him go, that is quite hilarious anyway, my advice to Xabi Alonso is if he really wants to win the Spanish LA Liga title this season or next he needs players like Vinicius no cap.

There is an obvious attention and threat to others teams that the presence of vinicius does bring but if the coach and him are not in a perfect working terms with good chemistry, it is actually needless keeping him because eventually, they coach will not be working with him and he is going to get some really less play time which will inturn affect his career, he too will not be having a good playing environment to give off his best so it will be fine they look for a better replacement or they get settled.

In the upcoming match, Real Madrid will face Betis. I think this match will be very difficult for Real Madrid. Even though Betis is not currently in the top 4 in La Liga, I think their performance should not be underestimated. Even Barcelona had a difficult time when they faced Betis. So, especially against Real Madrid, whose current form is not good, Real Madrid will certainly find it a bit difficult to win. However, Real Madrid must win this match if they want to continue competing effectively with Barcelona. Because if Real Madrid were to lose or draw in this match, the points gap between them and Barcelona would widen significantly. That is why Real Madrid will undoubtedly give their all, even though this match is likely to be extremely difficult for them to win.

Real Madrid will face one the sturborn team in La Liga, Real Betis has always been a team that gives Real Madrid a difficult game, Real Madrid is not longer a team that we use to know, Real Madrid we know before can do a ramontada even when the opponent is winning but the current Real Madrid can not defeat a small club comfortably without conceding any goal, Real Betis is in good form and they are having a good season with Antony being the best player in the team, he always finds a way to score for the team.

Barcelona beat Real Betis and they beat them with four goals and everyone is expecting Real Madrid to play well after having a bad performance from the beginning of the season, Real Madrid will play Real Betis without Mbape and Mbape is the best player in the team currently, it is time for Vinicius to step up to help the team, if he did not step up Rodrygo will step up and perform well since he has become a starter since his performance against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Just waiting for the comeback of LaLiga, is boring times when we only have a few of the main leagues of europe playing, thanksfully this is gonna end soon and we can see them again playing.

Who is gonna be the best team in this second stage of the season? Espanyol can keep this pace?

Although the English premier league has been able to hold it on in terms of entertainment for example yesterday matches in the English premier league was very interesting, exciting and filled with goals.
Regardless Laliga adds so much spice to club football in Europe and even if it has only been few day we have really missed the games and hopefully it will come back with a bang.

Real Madrid, might change the record by beating their stubborn opponent Real Betis, but the issue is that vino Jr isn't what he used to be since after the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Madrid, maybe he's being overshadowed by Mbappe's performance, but let's see how the game is really going to be, wether Madrid with their poor form prove the superior team.
The general problem in this game, is that Betis over the years of their meetings with Madrid has learned how to manage their opponent team Madrid well.

If criticism is what will make them go back to the top of the Spanish laliga race as they were before, then the criticism should continue as long as the criticism is a constructive one, I have come to understand that coaches have to be constructively criticized for their eyes to open to some certain things, some that are consistent gets criticized talk more of a team that is inconsistent, I think xabi has not even seen anything, he better improve his team performance, I have heard some people say what can he do but that is funny because he is the coach, his role is to make sure that his team maintains a good performance consistently, it might be difficult but that is his work to do.

You are right mate. Alonso's only job is to get the best performance from Real madrid. They have a strong squad. There are also a  lot of talented players in madrid's squad. Alonso's job is to get the best performance from these  players by using them properly. Has he been able to do that? Alonso has been experimenting with this  team since the beginning of the season. Madrid have probably  played 31 matches  since alonso became manager. Even  after such a long time, alonso has not been able to stabilize the team. This is definitely his failure. There is no way to deny it. Now if Madrid's performance is not strong in the  upcoming matches, I will not be surprised if madrid looks for a new coach.

[moneystery]

Real Madrid could not win any title in the last season. Madrid lost all four matches against Barcelona. Madrid management is definitely expecting a title from Alonso.
...

Real Madrid management certainly demands that Xabi be able to bring Real Madrid to get the title this season, because a club of that size not getting the title this season is certainly a very bad achievement, especially last season they also didn't get the title last season, of course they are very motivated to get up and prove that they are better this season.
This will certainly be a very challenging job for Xabi because currently Barcelona is above them, and they are already 4 points behind, of course they need to push even more and get more points to be able to overtake Barcelona's position and secure the La Liga title this season.

Real Madrid could not win a single title in the previous season. Their performance was somewhat unstable  throughout the season due to  their weak defense. This season, in addition to the change of coach, the madrid management has added three talented defenders to the squad to  strengthen the defense. But even then, madrid's defense is weak this season as well. Madrid's attack is very strong. But the team has  become overly dependent on Mbappe. Alonso will have to reduce this dependence. At the same time, the defense will have to be strengthened. If alonso can not do these two things successfully , madrid will not be able to win any title this season either.

[giorgione]

Yes, Lewa's current contract with Barcelona is only until 2026, and he is currently 37 years old, so I also feel that with his old age, it is unlikely that Barcelona will give him another contract extension. So that's why I also feel that Barcelona really needs to prepare options from now on to find a replacement if Lewa leaves. So if Barcelona targets Vlahovic, I think it would be quite good, because his performance is also quite good at the moment, so he will definitely play well at Barcelona too.

But even so, honestly, I hope that Barcelona can get a replacement player for Lewa who is not prone to injury. Because currently Vlahovic is experiencing a fairly serious injury, so even when he recovers, it is possible that he will get injured again. So that's why I hope Barcelona can get a great striker who has a truly fit physical condition. Because it would be very troublesome if Barcelona got a player who is prone to injury, it would certainly make their performance inconsistent.

I think that the replacement for Barcelona is a very talented striker and not the usual centre forwards like Osimhen and Haaland or Vlahovic who are certainly strong strikers but not the ones that suit Barcelona's style of play, which is certainly more dynamic.
