La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Ndabagi01]

Alonso is a very  talented manager. He led a mediocre team like Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title. They were undefeated the  whole season. He would have been successful with real madrid if he had been given enough time and freedom. But the madrid management did not give him the opportunity to work independently. At the same time, the players did not support him. And  that is why the management finally  decided to sack Alonso. I have never seen the madrid management make such a quick decision  before. Alonso needed to be given enough time.

Real Madrid are in need of quick result and since Alonso cannot give them what they wanted, they had to relief him off the duty of the manager. Real Madrid failed to win any trophy last season and lost big to Barcelona, if they continue like this under how Alonso was managing the team, they may never get to win any trophy this season. It is not as though Alonso is not a good manager for Real Madrid, but it is that ample of time Alonso needed that cannot be given to him, but he is a good manager based on his past records. We shall get to see how he’ll progress in his new team because he needs it very urgently to continue his big career in the manager role.

Wow, this means Barcelona really value Lamine Yamal so much to reject that huge sum of money, and yes, he’s adding a lot of value to Barcelona. He’s doing very well in Barcelona and if Barcelona should sell him it will really affect them and I believe they know this already, That is why they refused to sell him even when they know the money will really help them in paying some debt. I also believe Lamine Yamal is not ready to leave Barcelona anytime soon because he love Barcelona so much and he wants to win a lot of trophies and make name for himself in Barcelona and he’s doing just that already, if he leaves Barcelona, he may not perform that good anymore his very young money shouldn’t be his focus now.

Lmao. Another lies that never happened. Laporta is just lying piece of shit. He thinks PSG at this stage must have not learnt their lesson after signing Neymar for €222m only for them not to win the Champions League in all of their years, they even included Messi as bonus with Mbape been the favorite of the club but nothing change, immediately they all left PSG won the Champions League without them and you think they are going to make another mistake with Yamal, of course No.

They just want to bid him on a good status so they can increase his value on the market which is understandable but making everyone thinks that he is the one and without him the team is nothing then they are lying. Same guy worth €250m and miss a penalty. I'm shame of Laporta for lying to the public, all this for a player they brought from their academy trying to make him look like future Messi. Lol.

I will always join others to encourage clubs like Madrid to also learn how to better handle their managers to encourage those managers to improve themselves and the club and not to sabotage their efforts like you mentioned above, at did not noticed there were much interferences coming from the side of the management to the manager until I got to sit with one of the fans and he was telling me the extent at which the management goes to interfere in the work of the manager of the club especially during the time of Alonso. He could not make the decision of the composition of players he needs neither did they give him the power to recommend a player and have it signed or loaned immediately until the management decides for him. If these were truly the incidents which played out then we wouldn’t have much blame’s to the manager but more blame now goes to the management and I hope they adjust their pattern of leadership in the management team.

So because he is worth €250m he shouldn't miss a penalty ? I was actually agreeing to your words until I saw that line and that just turned me off, if you can to discredit a player, you can use several qualities and not missing a penalty as a turn off for that amount, so with this statement we can say that Haaland that is worth over €200M doesn't lose penalties especially as a striker?
By the way we know how market value gets pumped especially if a player is a prospect, I think Liverpool just signed a 19 year defender from Rennes for €60M, that's for a prospect who haven't even played in the Champions League.

Alonso was the issue, he is no longer managing the club and they are still finding it hard to win important games.  Real Madrid needed the win against Osasuna, since they were lucky to sit ahead of Barcelona in the table ranking, the privilege didn't last more than a week, now they are second place after losing points. It seems hard to figure out what is the issue with Madrid, because their coach has been changed and players signed, merely looking at the squad, they are a threat, but the result of their matches isn't satisfying.

Alonso needed to be given enough time.

I know that Alonso is a talented manager, and that fact can't be denied. But what I want some people to understand is that Leverkusen is not Real Madrid, and La Liga is not the Bundesliga. The leagues are very different from each other, so it is very possible that the way he handled Leverkusen may not be the way he will handle Real Madrid.he might make some mistakes and manage Madrid in the wrong way, and that could be why he is not getting the kind of results he wants. Being a coach of world class players means he has to be smart enough to always convince them, and not always create issues with any player. If not, it is very possible that it will lead to problems with many players.

From the way I have observed Alonso, he has not always taken smart decisions about his players. One reason I say that is because he makes quick decisions about the players he uses.Another thing is that Real Madrid is not the kind of team that needs to be patient for too long. They are known as one of the greatest teams in the world, and they always want to maintain that standard. Being patient for too long can sometimes lead them to what they are trying to avoid. It is also possible that even if they give Alonso enough time, he may still not get the kind of results Real Madrid always between short time.

I am not afraid of Villareal despite how they play now, I see them as nothing, they are not going to stop our streak, I’m more afraid of those teams at relegation zone, they’re the ones who tend to give Barcelona trouble at the dying end of the season.

Hansi Flick has to improve the defensive side of the team, we saw Joao Cancelo shine but it was more of attacking plays. We have to also do brilliantly defensively to continue this lead.

Well, it’s against the club not you

Barcelona still sucks at defense.. It’s the same chorus for every match and to top it, the highline isn’t really helping these days it’s getting too predictable. Beating it itself is a disaster, now imagine a combo with a bad defense.

Villarreal also has a chance to finish second, first, or maintain the third position so they are going to give them a tough time but I believe Barca should handle it well at home.

Initially I was frightened when Mbappe came to Real Madrid, coupled with TAA and the rest of the Super stars, I thought it would spell the end of Barcelona, but to my surprise looking at them right now I don't see them as a threat with all that star power, imagine them losing to Osasuna when they are in such a fierce tittle race, we can see how important a good coach Is, Real Madrid had a good coach in Xabi Alonso, but they chose the players over him and now they are going to face the decline. Good luck to Arbeloa.

[GbitG]

You are right, for now both teams still have the same chance neither of them are in a safe position especially with only one point difference and we can see their chances in the 2-3 matches towards the end of the season. One of the deciding factors may be the El Clasico match on May 11 whoever wins it will be very close to the title, if we look at the schedule, Barcelona has a slight advantage because they are playing at home but yeah it's not a guarantee, anything can happen in a match.

Nope both didn't have the same chance to win league title because dominator are one step ahead like right now Barcelona is dominator and if they maintain their performance level til the end and didn't lose any point then probably they will be the crowned champions. To be honest Barcelona performance really make sounds good like if you deeply reflect on it then you will clearly see it that this season they have much more better results than Real Madrid....

Real Madrid is still trailing with lack of performance and even lack of consistency despite Barcelona performance is consistent. So for me they have more probility than Real Madrid. It's still have a time to conclude the winner. Anyway let's see what happens next.

Another point to note is that, Yamal didn't push to leave the club for PSG, some players would have outrightly come out sound about their plight to want to leave because of the huge amount in terms of wages coming with this kind offer. so a player with such kind of passion for his team needs to be appreciated. But I believe he has more potentials to do more considering the guys players he has, and the league is more competitive than French league.

With the current match performances of Real Madrid, it could be agreed that the Real Madrid poor performances is not the matter of coach because that has been changed. It could be a matter of players, who are yet to adopt to each other playing patterns since most of them are world class players, maybe they are playing individual football or not a team football, that's why the issue of not winning matches as expected is still persisting, not being resolved as when it should as thought upon the coach and players signed.

I agree with you that Barcelona defensive driving is bit hazy, and honestly using this methodology like high defense line at every match can cause a little bit trouble for the team because sometimes the high defensive trap can't make legit sound against Evey team. So Hansi Flick really need to work on it like to introduce some new defensive tactics instructions rather then high defensive line. Hansi Flick really knew it that previously he was Ingo Martinez and due this this his high defensive line work very well but right now he is no longer here. So that's why Hansi Flick really need to be careful......

Besides that the upcoming match against Villarreal is looking bit tough clash like this match is little bit a competitive tussle but I think Hansi Flick will manage it easy. Barcelona key players also recovered from injury, and maybe the presence of they key player will bring up some good progress.

As long as Real Madrid and Barcelona can maintain their good form, Atletico Madrid will be the only team present to heat up the title race. You probably know how many La Liga titles Atletico Madrid have won in the last decade, but not more than Real Madrid or Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are the favorites to finish third in La Liga every season, but they can also occasionally be at the top when Barcelona and Real Madrid have really bad seasons.

This season's La Liga will be won by either Barcelona or Real Madrid. The title race looks fierce given the narrow points gap and the two teams trading positions on a weekly basis. Barcelona still leads the standings with a 1-point advantage, but this is not a safe situation considering that Real Madrid can press hard by occupying the top of the standings.

I withdraw Atletico Madrid since the early season for destroying Barcelona and Real Madrid dominance in the race for winning La Liga tittle, inconsistent performance and loss points when facing top teams such as Madrid or Barcelona is right reason why Atletico Madrid never become the competitor for winning La Liga tittle. Almost last several season ago Atletico Madrid never has compete to stop Barcelona and Madrid dominance in La Liga although every season Atletico have spent out much money by signing many top talented players.
This season, the La Liga candidate winner either Barcelona or Real Madrid because both team have difference one point and Atletico Madrid at 4th standings has 13 points left.

Man you are speaking as if Alonso spare at Real Madrid was terrible. He won against Barcelona but lost a crucial one against them for a trophy but the reason he left was beyond that game and it is not like Areola is doing really pretty well. Inconsistency is still a common thing but I think Real Madrid would have been doing better under Alonso than Areola now although inconsistency would have still be there but not as this.

Barcelona might still drop points and same as Real Madrid but if Real can hold on to be consistent more and thereby lifting the league much credit should also be given to Alonso also.

Real Madrid team is not able to keep themselves calm, even though they can win the game, they are failing to use high strategy including the coach, due to which they have lost some games this season and made themselves a failure list. However, if Real Madrid team continues to perform like this, then they are in doubt to win the trophy, I think it is not possible to win the traffic with such performance. If Real Madrid can correct themselves and succeed in using high strategy, then they can create big opportunities.

Is this the quick result they wanted?
Leaving first position quickly after luckily getting there?
They should just sell the club and open a farm at least they don't need their feet to tend to plants.
I'm really disappointed in the club
World class players and they still can't comprehend the fact that individual performance doesn't win trophy.

To be honest, I'm yet to differentiate the Real Madrid team under Xabi Alonso and the team under current manager Alvaro Arbeloa. There's no much difference between the style of play in the team since the club president made that change. Real Madrid were only at the top of the Spanish La Liga table for just one week because of the same inconsistency under Alonso. There's still time for Arbeloa to prove he's a better choice and I honestly hope that he'll utilise it properly.

I partially agree with you. Maybe Real Madrid needed a quick result. And since Alonso failed to do so, he was dismissed. But if that is the case then the Madrid management would definitely have appointed a more experienced manager. Arbeloa is by no means a more experienced manager than Alonso. If the madrid management had appointed an experienced manager after sacking alonso I would have no complaints. I find no reason to fire Alonso and hire Arbeloa.

However, the biggest challenge for Arbeloa now is winning against Benfica. Real Madrid won the away match 1-0. They need a win or a draw in the home match. If Madrid lose somehow it will be a shame for them

You are right, I don't see much difference yet. Their performance hasn't stabilized yet, in the first few matches in La Liga they seemed consistent and they are now going through an unstable situation. They haven't been able to stay at the top for long in La Liga, they were at the top for only a few matches. They are also in a precarious position in the Champions League. The second leg will not be easy for them by any means, they will have to play at full strength. The hosts Benfica will run this match like a mad horse to survive in the Champions League, Mourinho's experience is definitely more than Arbeloa's.

Wait..... Why will they not give him a valued ? He is one of the greatest player in the world. He Lamin Jamal, really deserves such big value because at this earlier age he is doing such an unbelievable performance. Literally he deserves a lot and honestly Laporta took a very good decision to keep him in his team although many club are offering him a lot of money for Lamine Jamal even Barcelona were tussling with extreme financial criticism, but still Laporta keep him.....

Lamine Jamal is an extraordinary player like his play literally give us a Lionel Messi vibe although he is still too young, he can definitely win the Ballon d'Or in the future if he play consistently and delivers super brilliant performance then he can probably win something similar as Lionel Messi because he is too young.
