La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2025/26

[Gallar]

Mourinho has come back to the La Liga after 13 years and he will still see Simeone working there.    It is really insane that it is Simeone's 16th year and he is about to stay for another...

I once again expect Barcelona and Real Madrid to be the only teams fighting for the La Liga title. I don't expect Atletico Madrid to keep up with them in the same mentality. With a similar squad as well though...

Yes,, this will be a reunion that will definitely be very funny. Because basically Mourinho has moved from team to team since leaving Real Madrid, but Simeone is still loyal to Atletico Madrid. So this is clearly a very funny thing. Besides, talking about competition in La Liga, it is certain that Barcelona and Real Madrid will once again be the main competitors there. But even so,, I don't think we can just underestimate Atletico Madrid, because currently I see that Atletico Madrid's performance is getting better. So, next season,, their performance could be very good because Atletico Madrid will definitely bring in new players in the upcoming transfer window.

So,, that will definitely make the Atletico Madrid squad even better. So that's why I don't think we can just underestimate Atletico Madrid. Besides,, talking about competition, I am very confident that Barcelona will be superior again next season. Because, as we know, Barcelona's performance is very good at the moment. Maybe it's just the defense line that Barcelona needs to fix right now, and if it's fixed, I'm sure Barcelona's performance will be much better, and with that, Real Madrid will definitely lose again next season.

  As they say, there are facts that are true, but they are hard to believe.
It's really strange to see that some have changed several clubs, while others are sitting in one place without any progress (Atletico's peak was when they were able to win the title and were in the Champions League final twice in a row, i.e. a very long time ago). Moreover, I can’t even say that Atletico is a special club as before – their defense is no longer as impenetrable.

It's not the team of the past but in any case it has done its thing this season too, when it comes on the pitch it is feared as a team, I don't think just for the fame.
It's certainly not in its old glory, but the days they played well were there and for the opponents who faced it it was difficult.
It has great potential, who knows if we won't see it at its peak next season, football goes to periods, could it be that of their rebirth?

Even if he knows how to utilize him well, the fact remains he can't fill in that Roberto Lewandowski space, because he's no match for him, trust me they are gonna go for a better replacement for Lewandowski, and again I think he's still too good to move to the Saudi pro league, no, I still very much believe he can't still get an offer from any European teams, and my advice is for Manchester United to get him even if it's for plan B, he can still be of good use to the team with Bruno Fernandez's assist he can still make out something out of nothing.

I don't think that Lewandowski can still remain competitive with Barcelona, in fact i think the time has come for him to find another team, it is necessary for the good of Barcelona, besides the fact that i don't know if he is still very competitive and that he can do much more than what he is doing, he will certainly find some other team and still want to play.

Lewandowski is an experienced and complete player, he will perform well in any team and can make that team shine. Lewandowski is currently very good and can perform in attack and he can put pressure on the opposing team at any time. His playing technique and intelligence are different from other players, so he is able to attack and score goals at any time.
However, even if he changes the Barcelona club, he will definitely be able to enter a better and more quality club, and there he can compete and show his talent.

[tygeade]

Mourinho will 100% fail here, there is no doubt in my mind. The only question remains for me, will he be fired before the season is over, or will he be fired after the season ends?

Because I am sure that there will come a moment where they may not even be a second place team, like I am sure that Barcelona will win the league title that is for sure, but Real Madrid could be second place, or maybe they will fail to do even that, depends on how Simeone and his players does, but there is a chance and a possibility Mourinho will be so bad that they may not even be second place.

People will say that I am overreacting right now, and they will think of Mourinho 15+ years ago, but look at his finishes in the past 10 years and tell me if I am wrong at the end of this season.

Of course Lewandowski made a good decision because Barcelona have won two trophies in two consecutive seasons and are in great form but it is not sure if he can maintain that form next season. Lewandowski has performed well for the team and has maintained good form till now. Even at the age of 37 he is still physically fit. I think his physical fitness will make him more valuable and he will join a good club as expected. He is a talented player who can prove himself great for any team. Although the next destination is not yet certain, he can sign a contract with a potential and good club.

It's the final week in the league... Most of the games are going to be played tomorrow. There is no race left for the title and Champions League spots. The only one left is the ongoing relegation battle.

Girona and Mallorca are still keeping their hopes alive. However both of them have no choice other than Elche to lose. Girona are even hosting Elche on this week! Let's see who make it...

Not happy with your POV, it's demeaning to the team I support. Everyone knows that Barcelona & Real Madrid dominate LaLiga seasons, but that doesn't mean other teams like Atletico Madrid don't provide strong competition, remember that our team won the league title in the 2020/21 season. Atletico Madrid has the same mentality as Barcelona & Real Madrid, they just got unlucky on some occasions.

I'm not intending to mock Atletico Madrid by saying that man. I'm just stating the truth. It is rare to see them becoming champions in the La Liga which is natural considering the squad quality gap between them and top 2 teams. 

[giorgione]

Looking at his productivity, Lewandowski is clearly declining, but that?s normal because of his age. Still, if we talk about contribution, he can still give a lot to the team and remain an important player.

But in the end, everything depends on what Barcelona wants to do. If the club wants to stay stable and competitive every season, then losing Lewandowski should not be a huge issue. They still have Lamine Yamal and Raphinha in the squad.

Sometimes regeneration is important for every club because sooner or later a new generation of players has to take over.

Lewandowski is declining and can no longer resist at a level like that of a top club like Barcelona, in my opinion they should change the striker, it is a good thing and it will be a good thing both for him where he will find new stimuli and for the team which will then be at another level with a younger striker even if it is difficult to find strong ones lately.

It is a personal decision that was made by Lewandowski not to remain in the club, but he should have just accept the one year contract and help the team to win champions league next season, because he was like a father figure and inspiration to the young players.

I like Lewandowski very well, he is good striker and is a world class goal scorer at his old age, scoring goals is like a hobby that he does. Any team that he goes to next will lucky to be having a star person is their team, because Lewandowski has prove himself worthy in Barcelona, Bayern Munich and also Dortmound.

Maybe but if he's  stayed,he's going to be used a backupwith very little playing time and at the same time a huge cut on his wage while still hoping on winning  UCL with Barcelona for the last time.  No UCL , a total waste of a whole year for him at Barcelona including his gutted waged.

His decision is understandable and now Barcelona can balance back with the 1:1 , they (we) were never broke as so many people think. All thanks to Lewandowski anyway.

At 37, just like many other of them lately, the glory is already established, what's needed is to now use the glory to make more money for themselves.

His departure from Barcelona after winning many cups for the club and also helped in their financial and structural stability is a praiseful one, and at this point, I believe he will be looking for juicy offers like the other GOATs. Perhaps it's now Saudi Professional League or other places where money can be prioritised. However, most likely, it's gonna be SPL, for the money is now the target for most of them at his age.

[changaa]

Thank god you have mentioned age as one major factor responsible for his depreciation in performance, although apart from that the age he just mentioned game pattern and players surrounding someone plays a vital role in someone's performance.  Not that there are no good players t Barcelona but game pattern and choices may make someone depreciate in goal scoring.
The Barcelona we are talking about now have been facing some unimaginable challenges capable of reducing once performance but with all he still managed to prove his worth which is the main reason he is still regarded as one of the best player in the la liga now.

is true that players who get older make players less attractive to teams that want to go far, and therefore they no longer want to invest in them, this is a cyclical thing that happens every time so i don't understand why there is so much amazement among these people.

[ITExpert]

Barcelona are not losing Lewandowski, he is certainly a player who cannot continue to play at the highest levels for much longer, and Barcelona is an elite team that wants to win again and again and especially next year, so i don't think they will have a hard time replacing him.

Robert Lewandowski is just going to end his journey in the FC Barcelona after a long term healthy relationship with the team. And the rumors are also circulating that the team is also not interesting to extend his contract which is the main reason because Lewandowski is going to about 38 and the team management is looking for another young talent in the  replacement of Lewandowski. And I think Lewandowski is the player who contributed greatly in the team's well being after the leave of Lionel Messi. But Lewandowski has a very bright chances in his future joining in the Saudi Pro league clubs as there are already many players working in SPL. And the Barcelona fans are also showing a great farewell to the player because the team has prominent achievements with his services.

[aipercoin]

With the financial issues they are having, it will be difficult for them unless they have money from winning the domestic trophy. The money won from wining the league and the money gotten from the champions league is enough to get a striker. However, with the influence of Barcelona, the club can get a striker who will be willing to drop down his wage to join the club. The problem would be to get a striker who will be better or be like the one that just left. It is not easy getting the right striker, it is most likely a gamble for clubs.

financial crises come because you don't have a well-structured project that provides the flow of funds with victories on the field, this is definitely a difficult job to do but feasible, now they just need a good striker who can demonstrate his value, but he must be a strong attacker and not a weak one.

[banana33]

It's not a difficult thing because discipline and ego is not a problem for Alvarez because since he was at Manchester City and Atletico I didn't see him have bad characteristics for discipline so if this rumor is true then it would be great but as I said before it depends to see what Barcelona need. If they want a pure striker who is hungry for goals then Osimehn is a very good choice but this might contradict what you said about discipline problems because it is not uncommon for Osimhen to argue with club colleagues and even coaches. If they really want a striker but he is flexible then Julian is the right player.

That's why I emphasized the financial situation because Barcelona have always had problems with that. Lewa, Raphinha and most recently Dani Olmo have all had transfer problems so this season won't be too good if they feel the same way.

Osimhen is certainly an excellent choice if the player wants to return to a top league also because the money he gets there is a lot but if he goes to another league he will never reach those figures, he must be aware of all this but i think that in any case the money is enough for him, if he wants to become strong and make the leap he must go to a big club.

[cande86]

Atletico Madrid may have been labeled defensive under Simeone, but in fact Atlético is one of the most tactically adaptable teams in Europe. They can play a low block, but they are also capable of high pressing and quick transitions very effectively. However, Simeone pragmatic style is often overlooked despite the consistent results, similar to those achieved by Arsenal under Arsenal. I suspect Arteta has successfully replicated Simeone's playing style, which enabled Arsenal to win the EPL this season.

Simeone is not the man to send away at the moment, in fact if there is one person who is doing well it is him, he has brought the team to a very high level and has in any case tried to have the coherence of putting the players first and still making the team very competitive, and he has been able to go very far.

Although I could not verify the authenticity, I have heard from some media that Lewandowski will sign for a club in the Saudi league. If that happens, he may earn money but will not be able to perform as expected because even though he is an experienced player, if his teammates do not perform well, he will not be able to develop his talent. Barcelona had talented players like Yamal, Raphinha and Dani Olmo, it was easy to get help to score goals in the opponent's net. But if he signs with a weak team, it will not be easy for him to maintain his performance and score goals.

I don't think like you. He has a high chance of scoring goals in Saudi Arabia because he won't go to one of the weaker teams there. The team he'll likely go to will have a strong squad. Therefore, I think he could score a lot of goals in Saudi Arabia with a team made up of players who can feed him the ball. Lewandowski will end his career with Barcelona this year. It's also perfectly normal for him to go to Saudi Arabia to earn money.

I agree that Diego Simeone has done a great job with Atletico Madrid. In a league that includes Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they reached the Champions League semi-finals and almost made it to the final. In the league, they need to win their last match and hope Villarreal drops points to secure third place. In any case, I think Atletico Madrid should continue with him for another year. He's been managing Atletico Madrid for a long time and has complete control over every aspect of the team. It's very difficult to find a manager like him.

[Smack That Ace]

Lewandowski is an experienced and complete player, he will perform well in any team and can make that team shine. Lewandowski is currently very good and can perform in attack and he can put pressure on the opposing team at any time. His playing technique and intelligence are different from other players, so he is able to attack and score goals at any time.
However, even if he changes the Barcelona club, he will definitely be able to enter a better and more quality club, and there he can compete and show his talent.

Lewandowski is undoubtedly a great  player, there is no doubt about it. He has performed well at Bayern munich for a long time and has  been able to score a lot of goals. He has also been able to adapt very quickly to la liga. Lewandowski has also been able to score a lot of goals in the barcelona jersey. He has been  completely successful in Barcelona.

But I cannot agree with you that any big  club would still want to add Lewandowski to their squad. You probably forget that lewandowski is almost  38 years old. He is playing well , that is true. But he will retire in a few years. I do not  think anyone would take the risk of adding such a player to the squad.

[HajiBagi]

Mourinho will 100% fail here, there is no doubt in my mind. The only question remains for me, will he be fired before the season is over, or will he be fired after the season ends?

Because I am sure that there will come a moment where they may not even be a second place team, like I am sure that Barcelona will win the league title that is for sure, but Real Madrid could be second place, or maybe they will fail to do even that, depends on how Simeone and his players does, but there is a chance and a possibility Mourinho will be so bad that they may not even be second place.

People will say that I am overreacting right now, and they will think of Mourinho 15+ years ago, but look at his finishes in the past 10 years and tell me if I am wrong at the end of this season.

What has Mourinho done for the past 10 years that makes you think that he will not succeed in Real Madrid? It looks like you don’t like the idea of Mourinho coming back to Real Madrid or maybe you are a Barcelona fan and thinking he will cause a problem for your club, Mourinho is still one of the greatest coaches in the world and you can not mention a top five coach in the world that you will not mention Mourinho, look at he did this season at Benfica, he did not lost any game and unfortunately the team did not win the league and Benfica want to give him another contract extension and he refuse to sign as he wants to join Real Madrid.

Let not pretend like we don’t know the kind of squad that Real Madrid has, no any club in the world that has a better squad than Real Madrid, including Barcelona that you think they can win the league next season did not have a good squad than Real Madrid, Real Madrid only need a coach that can makes those players who think they are bigger than the club to play together as a team and when that happens they will dominate the Europe, Barcelona that you think they will win the league next season what have they achieved in UCL since 11 years ago? They only play well in La Liga and Real Madrid has won many trophies in the UCL, we should not underestimate a coach and let see what he can bring to the team, and we should know that football is unpredicted.
