La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[RaltcoinsB]

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid career is in the past. I don't think he should return to Real Madrid because in today's football, Real Madrid needs to play faster and more attacking. However, I don't think Mourinho is the kind of manager who can achieve that anymore. Yes, he had great successes in the past and his career is full of achievements, but football has changed and it's doubtful he can succeed in this new style.

Jose Mourinho understands what's happening in football today because he is still managing a football team in Portugal by now he can't be using old style to improve a team that wants to get trophies and win competition like champions League so if you think he's not good to manage Real Madrid again because of his style then you are wrong. He has good history with Real Madrid and till date he's a good manager, if you want him to coach Real Madrid if he accepts the offer he will understand that his responsibility is to transform the team and give them a good pattern that will boost their performance and give them the right results. You can't write him off because you think he can't adjust to modern football give him the contract and watch him perform magic and bring out the beast in Jude Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicious Junior.

As a Fenerbahçe fan, seeing his unsuccessful matches at the helm of Fenerbahçe, I don't think he'll bring much success against Real Madrid either. Because when he came to Fenerbahçe, expectations were very high, but he made such absurd decisions and fielded such poor lineups that sometimes it seemed like he deliberately wanted to lose. Therefore, it's a bit difficult to understand the Portuguese coach. I don't understand why Real Madrid wants him. Of course, there are still many good coaches in the world. Perhaps one of them could be chosen.

Modern elite football most especially at a club like Madrid is heavily built on high pressing, and attacking fluidity. Mourinho can adapt, but in recent years his teams have not consistently shown the kind of dominance or attacking control you will expect from a UEFA Champions League contender and that is the real concern not his past, but his recent evolution. Also, Madrid right now is built around dynamic, expressive attackers like Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, and Vinícius Júnior.

Yeah, events must be accepted, which is not yet over for Madrid, they might be a loser this season but next season is unknown which one can't predict how tight their reinforcement might be, because Madrid is not know to be a weak thing, which they will eventually bounce back stronger and will make their fan's happy once again but for now, let's just relaxed and watch how things will unfold itself next season, as they might also win.

Of course we know that Madrid is a big team that also has the strength and even the winning mentality, but for this season it seems that they will not be able to win the La Liga title, but with this next season it does not rule out the possibility that they will experience the same thing as the current season.
 
For now I am fully confident that the La Liga title will be obtained by Barcelona, with the points they have secured far enough with Madrid who are in second place.

As long as Real Madrid can avoid getting hit by an injury crisis to their key players, their chances of winning titles will be much better. Over the past two seasons, they’ve had recurring injury issues with several core players, and that’s clearly disrupted their consistency and title runs. It’s not just about that though, they also need a coach with solid experience who can build good rapport with the entire squad. That way, when key players are out, there are still workable solutions to keep the team performing at a consistent level.

[Gallar]

If Real Madrid really wants to win, then they need to make this move no matter what, otherwise they are not going to be happy. Sell Vinicious and Rodrygo, do that or you are not going to be happy. Do that and get yourself one right winger, and one striker, put Mbappe on left, and put the striker ahead.

Imagine they somehow got Olise and Haaland, I know that won't happen, but just saying, aren't those the type of guys that they need to get? They would be insanely good and much better if they could have done that, which shows that, they need players like that.

Yes, although this is quite controversial, I completely agree with you, because basically, the current situation at Real Madrid is not good. Because Mbappe, who used to be a left winger, is now being used as a striker, and I think that is clearly not ideal to continue. Furthermore, their wing side is also currently less than good, because Vini, who used to perform very well, but now since Mbappe arrived, for some reason, his performance has decreased significantly.

So, whether there is a feeling of jealousy or a sense of competition that Vini currently feels, but it seems clear that he does not want the current attention to be focused only on Mbappe. So that's why Vini can't play with focus at the moment and, if I'm not mistaken, once asked for a salary increase. So with that in mind, I also agree that Vini should be sold by Real Madrid, because that would clearly be quite good. Because Vini's price tag will undoubtedly be astronomical, Real Madrid will have more money to spend on a better striker. But we don't know what Real Madrrid will actually do now. So,, we'll have to wait and see what happens next season...

[pewboy]

This season has now gone for Real Madrid, i can win a few more games but it absolutely does not affect the score on the table and it does not affect qualifying either.
Now what's done is done, as you said there's no point in stressing our mental health, we definitely expected a better season, they'll have a way to do better next season.
Events must be accepted.

yes exactly, you are right, the championship is practically over and they no longer have the possibility of winning anything, it is better for them to develop a new team for next year, given that they certainly have some absolutely necessary changes, i would start by starting by removing a few too many attackers.

[m4r1o]

Real Madrid has become a team that, due to the large number of star players, individual performance is seen as more important than the good of the team. Due to this mentality, they are harming themselves as well as the team. It is reported in various media that some players do not follow the instructions of the manager and do not have a good relationship with him. If there is no discipline in the team, the future outcome of that team is unlikely to be good. There is a possibility of doing well for Real Madrid if they appoint an experienced manager and take the necessary measures to maintain discipline among the players.

the out of class players sometimes make everything more difficult, it happens that it is not possible to make an excellent team with so many talents, in fact it happens that these together do not play well at all, and this often happens, it happens much more than we imagine, the galacticos in fact have not won much, it happens.

[kennycryptoitalia]

There are a lot of problems inside Madrid's squad now. The understanding between the players is not good. The ego of several players can be responsible. Madrid's biggest problem is that they do not have an experienced manager. If there was an experienced manager, the problems would have been solved to a large extent. But Arbeloa could not bring stability to Madrid's performance for a long time.

Real Madrid is a team that cannot go without titles for two seasons, this makes the team nervous and makes them enter a circle of pessimism which then causes the team to always play badly, in my opinion the ego of some players also has something to do with it and the responsibility for the defeats can also be attributed to them.

[Catenaccio]

It's true with all big clubs as big clubs have many star players who are at world class levels and usually these clubs have world class coaches too. So if players don't have or have limited injured cases, and when got injured it's just mild not severe, their clubs will have very good player resource during a season. This increases their club chance to have a more stable, quality player resources for matches and surely can affect their performance positively in general.

Not only Real Madrid, all big clubs have injury crises in any season usually had hard times and bad seasons, from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and all other big clubs. However problems in Real Madrid two latest seasons is the appearance of Mbappe and his lack of adaptation to the squad as well as not considerable contributions to proactive defense. It impacted Real Madrid a lot and in this season it seems Vinicius started to derail from good team working too with his criticism against Jude Bellingham in a quarter final match with Bayern Munich.

Sometimes football is not always the same, so they don't have any option but to accept it and then prepare for next season, because right now they can never bounce back in the game. Of course, Real Madrid is not known as s a weak team, but we all have seen that this season is not good on their side. So their fans should just accept them like that, and hope for a better season because no team is above what we are seeing from Real Madrid right now.

[giorgione]

And if you ask me I'd still say Mourinho is not the right option, let's just face reality here, if Mourinho should come to this Real Madrid team now what exactly can he do? First Mourinho is a man that doesn't take shit from players, he caution anyone that misbehave with immediate punishment and this boys now are not really well mannerd so it will really cause some chaos in the team and that we know can't help the team in any way, so I will suggest they look for a more better coach that can create a good relationship with the players before applying any tactics.

Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, i think is a more than valid option and i believe that there is also the possibility for them to win something with this coach, even if he has aged and is no longer at his usual level, i believe that he is still a very high level defender and this matters a lot at European level, the team just has to play well together.

[changaa]

Yes. Madrid will end two consecutive seasons trophyless Madrid current task is simply to finish the season well.

The issue with the rumors of Mourinho re hiring by Madrid is perhaps that club management no longer trusts the system. At the start of the season, they recruited Xabi Alanso aiming to play with a system but ultimately failed even though he was replaced by Albeloa. In essence, Madrid would bring in a coach with a thousand tactics if they had a player with a number one ego. It's useless like the coach who was the first victim of Xabi and Arbeola.

Perhaps that's why the Mourinho issue has resurfaced as Mourinho has a strong character in dealing with egotistical players and can control the dressing room. While Mourinho strategy is indeed outdated Madrid currently needs a coach who can curb players' egos and utilize the potential of each player. Therefore, underestimating Mourinho is wrong as Madrid has previously done the same thing successfully.

Ancelotti was once considered past his prime by many, but Madrid dared to bring him back despite his failures at previous clubs including his poor spell at Everton. However, his return to Madrid resulted in two Champions League titles in three years. So, Mourinho could be an attractive option right now, but he needs to prove himself quickly. Positive results are crucial in the first six months and there's no need for a process or adaptation.

Real Madrid deserved this, i think one thing at this point is that i think Mbappe is a bit unlucky, he went to Real Madrid to at least win the Champions League but i think that at this rate he will never win it again, he certainly has a lot of talent and a lot more time ahead of him to play and try to win.

What exactly are you talking about? Mourinho, a coach? Or a defender? Madrid is looking for a coach, not a coach who will be played as a defender.
In Madrid's current situation, someone needs to be sacrificed. If the coach is good but does not earn the players' respect, then the strategy applied cannot run smoothly on the field. A dilemma with Mourinho's character when coaching, especially when dealing with players who have high egos.

Not only is everyone at Real Madrid injured, but those who are left have such a massive ego that there is still no chemistry. Casillas even said so in a post—with that huge ego and the fact that everyone wants to be number one, there is no way their game will work out. There is simply no understanding between them.

When I see the performance of Real Madrid and think about how little they can achieve I just think even more about Mbappe, because like you said, he looks so unlucky so far, individually he has been putting in all the effort but the team where he is now is contributing little to nothing to his progress, even when they have all the young and talented brilliance as supposed.

If PSG wins the champions league the second time, I do not know how he is going to feel about it but hopefully next season they will improve well enough that he may get to lift the title by the end of the season.

[Agbe]

It is better he leaves the team to another vibrant team or cross league. There are some team good players would join that would killed their talent and career in football. Mbappe present in that team has helped them but they are not helping him to push forward the team. If they loss this time, Mbappe will be demoralized.

[bastisisca]

Having a large number of star players is not very necessary for a team. We can understand this by looking at Real Madrid's performance. You are right that they need a competent and experienced manager who can influence the team and motivate the players. As you have expressed your concern, whether the players will follow the manager's instructions. Real Madrid has become a team that, due to the large number of star players, individual performance is seen as more important than the good of the team. Due to this mentality, they are harming themselves as well as the team. It is reported in various media that some players do not follow the instructions of the manager and do not have a good relationship with him. If there is no discipline in the team, the future outcome of that team is unlikely to be good. There is a possibility of doing well for Real Madrid if they appoint an experienced manager and take the necessary measures to maintain discipline among the players.

Not only can we look at him with Real Madrid, even with Paris Saint-Germain at the beginning we could see that buying out of class is not enough, we also need to make them play well together.
The lesson is that too many cockerels in the same pen fight, so a mixed team is needed, which includes good professionals and not just natural talents.

As a Fenerbahçe fan, seeing his unsuccessful matches at the helm of Fenerbahçe, I don't think he'll bring much success against Real Madrid either. Because when he came to Fenerbahçe, expectations were very high, but he made such absurd decisions and fielded such poor lineups that sometimes it seemed like he deliberately wanted to lose. Therefore, it's a bit difficult to understand the Portuguese coach. I don't understand why Real Madrid wants him. Of course, there are still many good coaches in the world. Perhaps one of them could be chosen.

Besides Mourinho, isn't there still Jurgen Klopp who Madrid can target if they are serious about improving Real Madrid, I think Jurgen Klopp can meet expectations. Typical coaches like Mourinho are not always suitable in some competitions such as the Turkish League so at Fenerbahçe he often makes many strange decisions. But if in a European club like Real Madrid it might be more adaptable and Mourinho understands this club better than other coaches.

[Volgastallion]

I dont believe in the Mourinho rumours to take charge in Real Madrid at all, i mean he is old now and the new players are not gonna ""respect"" him in the way he needs, they are super cocky and they are not gonna run when he ask them to do so, i dont see him fit anymore for this new way of playing football despite being one of the best coach in history.

[banana33]

Real Madrid will definitely end the season without anything, that is understandable. But they really need to make sure they are not making a mistake with the next manager, getting someone like Mourinho is basically saying that they are going to end up with one more bad season.

And with the way Barcelona has won even while being in this much debt, and them potentially having their finished stadium and much better income, there is a chance Barcelona could start to do better financially too, so Real has just one more year to get back, otherwise the gap could be opened way more and things could be worse for them in the future if they do not care. I highly suggest they do not get Mourinho, and get someone who has been great in recent years instead.

I don't think it's necessarily the coach's fault, it must be said that these players are enormous talents and i don't think it's very difficult to train them, but they just need to be able to let them play autonomously, this is the real secret, there's no other way, you have to give them space and let them do it.
