La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Dzwaafu11]

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.

As long as it remains a rumor, I think there's still chance for him to return to Real Madrid, that big team needs a mature figure as a manager. The latest news I saw from the news outlets is that there's 1 problem if Real Madrid wants to bring in Mourinho, that's the release clause, Real Madrid must pay €6M to get him from Benfica.

Mourinho is a good coach, and with the way things are currently going Real Madrid really an expletive coach that can fit in and manage this team the way they want. Saying the players won’t respect as they are supose to, I don’t really think they will do dat Mourinho know what he’s doing and honestly, if Real Madrid get him as their manger things may change, for the fact that Madrid need an experience manager they will do everything to see that they succeed in getting him if the rumor later be truth.

€6 millions is not too big amount for a high figure coach like Mourinho because the impact he will bring to the club is quite high and realistic and also a consolidation of Real Madrid statues meaning a big coach for a big club will equal greater success, Real Madrid won't think twice before signing the deal, what I feal can be the obstacles in this is that, the Mourinho two year deal I his current benfica club contract and what the club is intending with the coach is far more important and a constraint to his movement out of the club.

I will say it again, Mourinho glory has run out, his magic hand is not as great as it used to be, although I understand that is not what Madrid are looking for, because they need a figure of control in the dressing room and discipline Madrid selfish players which I also doubt whether Mou will succeed, this is like a gamble that will have major consequences, because Mou is famous for his firmness and does not hesitate to remove players from the first team if they disobey, which could be Mou fate could be like Xabi.
Unless Perez supports that firmness, because this is where the problem lies.

[Achalugo BTC]

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.

Yes, that's totally right and I agree with you on that, because the handwritten on the wall has already be read, which everyone has to accept it and move on to the hope of the next season which is to come soon and I know people are expecting to see how next season will unfold itself, especially the fans of Madrid and Barcelona, which they are eager to know the next runner up or winner. But, for now Barcelona have secured their championship.

[Slow death]

I will say it again, Mourinho glory has run out, his magic hand is not as great as it used to be, although I understand that is not what Madrid are looking for, because they need a figure of control in the dressing room and discipline Madrid selfish players which I also doubt whether Mou will succeed, this is like a gamble that will have major consequences, because Mou is famous for his firmness and does not hesitate to remove players from the first team if they disobey, which could be Mou fate could be like Xabi.
Unless Perez supports that firmness, because this is where the problem lies.

Mourinho's style of play is the most appropriate for the current Real Madrid squad. During Ancelotti's time, he also had a similar style, not focusing on making Real Madrid play beautiful football, but on winning games, without worrying about good performance or scoring many goals. What mattered was winning games and trophies, and that's what the Real Madrid president wants from coaches.

Xabi and the current coach tried to make the team play beautiful football, not win games, and that cost them their jobs. With Mourinho it would be good; he would use the same techniques as Ancelotti, strengthen the defense, instill discipline in the players, and with that the team would win games. Because in La Liga, Real Madrid only needs a better defense than Barcelona, ​​concedes fewer goals, and wins games to be champions.

[slapper]

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...

The Saudis offer for Vini is apparently a billion or so (including salary over the next five years). That's too good to be true but it's not? And he expires in 2027 so the longer Madrid waits, the less power they have.

If they sell now, this summer, they could buy the entire team with the money from one player. They won't be able to do that in a year when he's on the market. I think some people at the club understand this but the emotional attachment to Vini is massive. Emotions make bad business decisions.

So in your opinion, who do you think can manage the current crisis at Real Madrid?
Obviously Ancelotti or Zidane won't come back. That leaves you with a few solid guys like Mourinho that command a lot of respect from the players. Who knows, the glory you guys think has run out could actually come back at Real Madrid.

There’s really no room for emotions here if the offer is actually that huge. I think Vini is one of the most talented players right now, but overall he’s not the ideal profile for Real Madrid.His behaviour off the pitch should match the standards on the pitch as well. His individual quality isn’t in question, but Real need a proper team structure, not five players competing with each other.So selling Vini could actually end up being a good move for Real Madrid

Historically, Real Madrid was always about shield as well as system of play, and at the moment,  squad is bit overloaded on the left. If it is big bid, why not use opportunity to shake up whole starting line-up?
Vini might be one of best 3 players in world, but sometimes tactical chemistry with other superstars doesnt work. Having him gone will free up resources to spend on world class goal scorer or defensive midfielder to replace Toni Kroos. This would be Business over Heart decision, but in past, Real Madrid has always done well following these choices, such as selling Di Maria, or even Cristiano. Sometimes, team needs to lose its superstar to become more structured and disciplined.

Morinho transfer issue I really look forward to Morinho arrival to head coach Real Madrid for next season,  Morinho figure is ideal to lead Real Madrid, his strategy is very effective on the field as well as his motivation and comments outside the field are very interesting to follow every match played. it would be very special if he coached this club. I still remember when he brought Luca Modrid from Totenham in August 2012 who later became a legend by winning many titles with the club. Hopefully in the future he can also find new players with special talents to fill the current Madrid squad which is lacking players. I really hope the rumors of Morinho joining Real Madrid come true.

[bitgolden]

Someone once said that having high quality player specially strikers, in a team is usually counterproductive. These strikers are always seeking personal glory since they want to win the Ballon d'Or. We have seen greed within the Real Madrid strikers lead to losses. Vinicius and Mbappe are not working together effectively. In my view, they should be forced to become selfless, or one of them should leave.

They have been working together of late, after they have realized that their selfish game is affecting the club performance. Vini do give Mbappe goal assist and if he scores, you will see him running to Vini and hug him. I don't know why Real Madrid attackers are like this. They want the glory all alone instead of assisting one another for the betterment of the team and what they will achieve.

Well mainly because Real Madrid is a team where you shine as the "best", if you go to Real Madrid, your goal is to be seen as the best player in the world, and win ballon d'or and la liga and UCL and so forth.

This of course means that you can't share the light, if you do, then you are not going to get anything, your teammates may, or even someone from another team can. But this type of playing also causing them to not win UCL nor la liga, and that is why nobody is winning anything.

Mourinho is not a bad coach as you think and if there is any coach that can control Real Madrid dressing room and stop that ego within the players is Jose Mourinho, i know he is old but what Mourinho is still doing at Benfica is unbelievable because Benfica is having a good season even if they are not going to win the league or any trophy this season, the way Real Madrid players are behaving throughout this season they need a coach like Mourinho because he is the one that can bench anyone who is not doing the right thing as he want.

The reason why some people think Mourinho is not the right person to coach Real Madrid next season is because of the misunderstanding he has with Vinicius in the Champions League when he was defending his player that he did not call Vinicius a monkey and I understand that because every coach needs to protect his player, Vinicius fans need to stop emotional manipulation because they are the ones making the player feel like no one can talk to him in the dressing room, what he did to Xabi Alonso is not going to happen next season and if he did not feel like playing for the team he should move to another club because everything looks like he is not the same Vini we use to know.

Yes, I also don't know what Real Madrid's management team is thinking right now. Basically, if they sell Vini,, they will definitely get a lot of money. However, I'm very sure that if a Saudi Arabian team is really serious about buying Vini, it seems Vini wouldn't be interested, at least for now. Because currently, Vini is still quite young and he is certainly still pursuing his career and achievements. Meanwhile, if Vini moved to the Saudi Arabian league,, he would definitely have to give up his dream of continuing his career in Europe.

So,, basically, this transfer is probably not going to happen at this time. Therefore, I think if Real Madrid wanted to sell Vini, I think they would have to sell to a top team in Europe. I'm sure if that were the case, Vini at least wouldn't mind too much. Although Vini basically loves Real Madrid, but if the situation is no longer favorable for his career, I think Vini will definitely take serious steps to move to another team. But right now, none of us know for sure how all this will happen, but what is clear is that we just need to monitor it right now.

As long as it remains a rumor, I think there's still chance for him to return to Real Madrid, that big team needs a mature figure as a manager. The latest news I saw from the news outlets is that there's 1 problem if Real Madrid wants to bring in Mourinho, that's the release clause, Real Madrid must pay €6M to get him from Benfica.

Mourinho is a good coach no doubt, he has done so much in the game of soccer that's not a lie, if he comes to Real Madrid he might do well or he may not that's true, but the fact is Mourinho is not really the right one for this job at this critical time, remember Anceloti was also a good and experienced coach, but he was latter fired from the team, I don't really think Mourinho can create that kind of relationship with this players that can even tend to move the team forward, but Mourinho is a strict person and won't take any kind of misconduct, so it's really gonna be difficult for him this time.

I don't know how true this particular news is, but if it's actually true, then it's a deal that can turn the head of any player around the world, since it's a life changing opportunity majority of footballers wouldn't want to pass on.
Vinicius junior might actually accept this huge contract even though real madrid offers him a new contract, and I wouldn't blame him at all, because the money involved is just too crazy, but I seriously doubt if this is true, because he is not as influential as Cristiano Ronaldo for a Saudi club to offers him such an amount of money.

Real Madrid should prepare well next season of they want to compete with Barcelona for the tittle next season, their performance wasn't consistent this season, they miss lot of opportunities and blame their coach for not doing well when they refuse to give him more time to change the team. Xabi Alonso did well when he was in Bayer Leverkusen he won the Bundesliga tittle unbeaten and I believe he would have done more if given more chance at Real Madrid. Looking from the point gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid you don't need to magician to tell you that Barcelona has won the Laliga tittle.

Xabi is a good coach, he has shown it. It's just that I think it was not a good choice to give him more time in Madrid. That is because the character of Madrid's players will never match Xabi. The decision to change the coach was right, but that doesn't mean Xabi is bad. Anyone who coaches Madrid with the current team situation will feel the difficulties experienced. Madrid needs a figure suitable to handle those players.

If Mourinho takes charge of Real Madrid, then the Madrid team can improve a lot according to its current situation. Currently, we have seen that Real Madrid team has changed coaches several times but they have not been able to change their game and have not been able to develop them in a strong way. If Mourinho takes charge, then he will definitely improve the Real Madrid team a lot because he is an experienced and good coach, so he knows how to put the team in a good position. And Real Madrid really needs a coach like him at the moment, because Real Madrid has enough good players, so they need a good coach to create an environment to lead them. If this news is true and Real Madrid gets him as a coach, then the team will return to being strong again.

Mourinho had coach real Madrid before and honestly it is very interesting but the only thing that you could not achieve is winning the Champions League but he set up actually make the team great again compared to how they were underperforming before he came. It can never be denied that  Mourinho is a great coach and he always perform excellently anywhere he went to, he has been in the business for a very long time and so many people expect him to fade away but he keep on appearing as if he just came newly. I don't know how true it is for him to return to Real Madrid, but I'm seeing it online almost everywhere but I wish it happened again because currently real Madrid are seriously facing problems.

[changaa]

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.

I don't understand in what sense. For Real Madrid the season is over, second or third place, not much would change. Even if he will never reach the third due to the high advantage he has over Villareal, but in any case he now has nothing to lose. That is, he has already lost.
