La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

The problems are not solved and will certainly not be solved in the short term, the lack of significant funds to make investments is still being felt.
They make it clear that the funds are there, but considering the facts i don't think there is all this availability.
I would say that change must happen at the first stop in the team, the coach has a fundamental role but he is not the only one responsible for an up-and-down trend in the team.

This is not how problems are solved, and in the short term i would say that there are more substantial problems to solve. i believe that increasing funds is necessary but not essential for the long term. It is only to address the temporary situation and not in the long term. They absolutely must find someone responsible.

I think we shouldn't call that a fail for Xabi Alonso. He wasn't even given a year. He literally got sacked after around half a season. This is never enough for a manager who is aiming to apply a new system to the team.

Xabi Alonso is a typical coach who implements a system for his players because he doesn't want each player to rely too much on individual abilities. In my opinion, Xabi Alonso didn't fail during his time as Real Madrid coach, even though it was only half a season. Statistically, out of 34 matches in all competitions, Alonso managed 24 wins, 6 losses, and 4 draws. If only Alonso were given enough time, I'm sure he could improve Real Madrid's performance and achieve great success with Real Madrid, just as he did with Leverkusen.

Real Madrid is being severely punished because the players aren't playing with interest, they don't want to give their all. I've been a Real Madrid fan my whole life, but honestly, they play without desire, without heart. It's a disgrace what they've done, and that's upsetting They've lost everything, they've really thrown away the league in an impressive way. They play very badly, and I think Arbeloa needs to leave now.

Real Madrid is wrong to have this approach with the players, they should not play players who always do as they please and always have to command, it seems ridiculous to me and truly unproductive and only leads to the collapse of the team, they certainly cannot continue like this, it is not sustainable for them

[Zanab247]

true, but i repeat, not because i want to defend Real Madrid, but it had already started two years ago with big problems
Now i don't know what they are and how they can be solved. i am just saying that there were significant problems that were never solved and that rightly now they are reappearing.

The problems are not solved and will certainly not be solved in the short term, the lack of significant funds to make investments is still being felt.

Real Madrid has never had financial problems, they even have enough funds to buy many quality players, but the problem is that the regeneration within the Real Madrid team cannot run well, so I think that is what makes Real Madrid's performance now seem like they don't have a clear game foundation, and another new problem is that they don't have a qualified coach, so I think there is nothing that can be expected anymore now.

How can Real Madrid have financials problem, because they have won this laLiga league trophy many times and other trophies to established the club to be a place many potential players wish to join. Even one of the PSG striker they signed few months ago, he confessed that Real Madrid club is the best club to play for, for you to know that Real Madrid don't have financials problem to improve their club.

You mean their coach is their problem for not toping laLiga league table or for missing their opportunity not to win their last game?  I don't think Real Madrid coach is the problem if you are consistent in watching their games. If Real Madrid can invite some new potential players to join the club  I guess it will boost their strength to eliminate this problem they are facing in this season.

Barcelona has been performing well since the beginning of this season. Due to which they have been able to gain more points from the underdog teams. Because they did not want to lose their glory. Even though Real Madrid is slightly behind, it is not that they are doing badly. They have taken points from Real Madrid and the underdogs, but it may be a little less than Barcelona. However, Real Madrid is trying to regain their position, maybe they can take points from the underdogs in the future and become equal to Barcelona. However, Real Madrid should play to maintain their glory as much as possible. Although Barcelona has been in a good position from the beginning, Real Madrid has played a little worse in the middle, so Real Madrid should now survive well and move forward with points like Barcelona.

To tell the truth, Barcelona has had a significant physical decline in the last period and this has meant that other teams have overtaken them in the standings but now things have turned around a lot, this has meant that the players have gained confidence and are continuing well.
I see Real Madrid as very far from what they want to do.

[banana33]

As for the Champions League, I think there are stronger teams there, but I believe Barcelona will also try stay there as long as possible.

Yes, for me too it's better that Barcelona left the cup because it's very true, they can focus on the cups and can do much better both in the league and in the Champions League, and that's not something that everyone can do, so I would even dare to say that it could have all been an organized maneuver.

This is very typical of Alonso as seen when he was at Leverkusen, he creates a system and then allows the team function on that system enough tha they are always ready and inform in any situation and his system are actually not player dependent, it us very true that was what he was trying to build at Madrid but because the result were not forthcoming quickly, they ran out of patience and let him go.

This was exactly, what everyone thought in the beginning and that was why Real Madrid hired him to bring success to the club like he did with Leverkusen but the big challenge for Alonso was how to manage the dress room. That made Alonso to lose focus on how to improve the team performance and bring it to perfection. This was why Alonso left the club.

I have a better theory than AI, people are in such a hurry to write stuff and be done with their quota, they forget what they are writing, this combined with the actual lack of knowledge in those posting sweatshops, and you end up with these.

Anyhow, for a few weeks, f*** La Liga and f*** Real!
I'm still not over that thing yet!
And f*** their stupid schedule when you have one game left on Monday!
I lost a parlay I could have cashed out if I knew about the schedule and I lost it the last, most obvious game..
As much as I dislike City I'm going to cheer for them in the CL!

Well yeah, I wouldn't wanna be a sweatshop poster because no joke, it would be hard work if you want to get everything right and not sound like gibberish...


Real Madrid had a run, but it came to an end and it didn't surprise me. They had lucky results a couple of times before that run and to be precise, the run in La Liga began after that Copa loss against Albacete, which is of course also a catastrophe. Then another loss against Benfica, which sent them into playoffs (two additional games), and what's so bad about them is that their opponents can create about as many chances as Real Madrid with only 19%  ball possession (Osasuna). If they now lose Mbappe for a longer period of time, it may not get much better anytime soon. The fact that Barcelona is far from playing a perfect season, keeps Real Madrid's title ambitions alive in La Liga. Both teams out of Copa now...

Sure, Alonso was never a bad coach, what you said is correct but from my own perspective, i think that Alonso felt that the players were not respecting his decisions and his instructions. Alonso got fed up because to manage a team like Real Madrid that have combination of super talented players can be draining and exhausting. Especially at that time when Vinicius was complaining about lack of visibility in the team. Alonso's statistics for Real Madrid wasn't bad but the team needed something better than what he has achieved but i agree with you that the club should have still accorded him more time because they might not still get the result that made them to relief him of his duty as Real Madrid head coach.

I see Real Madrid as very far from what they want to do.

The team management itself may not be able to grasp the problem of Real Madrid because the experienced manager Ancelotti was fired due to poor performance last season and Xabi Alonso was appointed but he also had to leave a few days ago due to the poor performance of the team. Currently, the newly appointed manager Álvaro Arbeloa is not able to give much expected performance because the main problem of Real Madrid is still unknown. Compared to how they performed last season, this season is better but not in a satisfactory state. It would be fair to say that they are not in a position to win trophies. In comparison, Barcelona is a much more consistent and excellent team and they still maintain the best performance as well as last season.

We have been seeing this situation among Real Madrid players for several days. The biggest reason for Xabi Alonso's departure from Real Madrid was the human nature of the players. Especially the biggest stars of Real Madrid, they think of themselves as something they are not at all. At this moment, some of Real Madrid's players may need to be expelled or given serious punishment. If this is not done, we may never see Real Madrid's situation return to its previous state. If a bigger coach is hired or if this coach is changed, we may not see Real Madrid improve, unless they are able to slowly control their players.

If that's the case we might see a much worse situation during the Cristiano Ronaldo era, as the squad boasted many superstars, yet Real Madrid managed to achieve far more trophies than they do now. What I see is a lack of leadership within the current Real Madrid squad, as no player can motivate each other as a respected figure. The current players' egos are indeed large, but the coach is unable to manage them effectively, leading to speculation about a worsening player-coach relationship.

Xavi Alonso's departure is more than just that, as rumors circulate that even Real Madrid's top brass didn't fully support him when he made several changes to the squad. Arbeloa may also suffer the same fate as Xabi Alonso, as despite his current situation being unproblematic, his achievements at Real Madrid have been less than impressive, potentially creating new problems if Real Madrid fails in the Champions League or La Liga.

Tomorrow Real Madrid are going to play against Celta away. I still can't forget how they lost to Getafe home just like that... Playing dominant doesn't always help for a win you know.

This is even a tougher game now. The reason is simple. Celta are playing for European tournaments as they are already at the 6th position.

Besides don't forget that Celta beat them at Bernabeu by 2-0 this season! I won't bet on Real Madrid.

[ITExpert]

This is what we call home advantage. Both teams performed pretty good at home but that of Atletico was the best and that's was why they are the ones in the final. Barcelona was sleeping in the first leg and realized it after the game was over but it was too late because scoring five goals against a strong team like Atletico is impossible.

I think the performance of both of the teams was well in the sense that they played and made the match an interesting piece. But Atletico performance was quite good and they mange to make this match in their favour. And I think where ever anyone take things for granted the loss is must over there because you don't know the intention or dedications of the other. Barcelona took this match seriously on the moment where it was impossible to beat Atletico as they successfully scored their goals. And the fact is Barcelona is a strong team and they can mange the position of they present with their all efforts. And i think this is what the true meaning of getting benefit of home ground. The results of this match really strengthen the Atletico and enhanceed their confidence which us a fix thing for the next achievement.

[KTChampions]

Yes, for me too it's better that Barcelona left the cup because it's very true, they can focus on the cups and can do much better both in the league and in the Champions League, and that's not something that everyone can do, so I would even dare to say that it could have all been an organized maneuver.

Stop one step short of the title (yes, far from the most important, but still), you're not seriously writing this, are you? I think these two painful matches with Atletico did much more damage to Barcelona than if they had won this match and "tired" in just one more game against Sociedad. And I think it’s very difficult to let go of a situation when you were one step away from a comeback but still couldn’t make it happen. Barcelona are lucky that their opponent in the Champions League is just Newcastle and not some top club.

If only Alonso were given enough time, I'm sure he could improve Real Madrid's performance and achieve great success with Real Madrid, just as he did with Leverkusen.

I don't think Xabi actually failed, his position isn't even close to that of a fail person but this is what I can say, the club gives too much relevance to the players that is why the level of disrespect in that club is too much, he wasn't having it since the club couldn't tame their boys and he had to live the club before they make him as the bad saint in the club. He did his time, the number of matches he won was far ahead of anything you can call a failure, he did well in my opinion.

Instead of the team to tackle the main problem of the team which is injury and recruit better back line players, everyone was pointing fingers to the coach. It all started from Anceloti, people thought he had nothing left with the pack to win the League but time prove he was right. He left for national team and has his time there, now even Arbeloa can't do anything to make the team better because the dependent players are out for the rest of the season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Main way to do that would be limiting your bankroll, the deposit amount because if you do limit the possible amount you could lose, you won't lose much and then you would not be sad too much, and second reason would be considering that as a subscription payment to be bale to gamble instead of risk, and that way you get to gamble for fun for a cheap amount everyday for a month.

Money is the best thing we can use to our advantage to avoid any financial errors that might affect us in the future I say the future because a big loss could ruin our future Business plans or something like that. So, in view of this , we are people who are always looking for the best possible option for ourselves In this aspect, we have many things to do The first is to take care of our money , and the second is that when gambling , we should only bet or risk the money we are willing to lose It's that simple.

But for Barcelona, I don't think they have the same feelings about this.    I'm pretty sure they are devastated by this elimination after getting so close to turning things around.

They showed an insane effort at Camp Nou. They didn't ever look like they weren't caring about the Copa del Rey. It was the other way around clearly.

They always care about all the tournaments they compete in. But I'm afraid they are out of one already...

On till now i still think Xabi Alonso's departure is the worst decision the Real Madrid board has made so far like every one was seeing the good work that man was doing, in as much as he didn't really understand the Real Madrid pattern of play and knowing too well that the Barcelona manager was quite familiar with the league to the extend the almighty Ancelotti couldn't stand a chance yet Xabi Alonso was still up and doing winning games and was even topping the league then all of a sudden Real Madrid management let him leave for a reason best known to them, the fact is Real Madrid are definitely gonna feel it hot and nothing can stop that from happening.
